Blue Jewelry a Fad.

- LUE has never been more In favor
~ for jewelry than this season and tho
~ winter will probably see 1t the latest
fad worn by nearly all women. The
woman who can afford turquoises, sap
phires, aquamarines is revealing In them.
whether the color is becoming or not
These precious stones are being turned
out in handsome rings and brooches, close
dog collars made Of them, and also closely
set in long gold chains, belt buckles and
hair ornaments. The chief objection to
the turquoise is that 1t will discolor with
use The greatest care must be taken not
to allow water to touch It, Some women
are Of the opinion that this does not
apply to good gems and discover their
mistake too late.
Next to the turquoise In beauty, but
much less costly, Is the matrix. This Is
being much worn in pendants, necklaces
and brooches. but Is less favored for
rings. set Of hat pins with head Of
evenly matched matrix set in gold or
oxidized silver makes q handsome gift
The latter setting IL much favored for
less expensive blue stones, many Of which
are unnamed or of the French jewelry
type, which Is now good form to wear 30
long as one does not claim for 1t higher
rank.
Dark blue enamel Is being revived for all
sorts Of ornaments. Huge hatptns and
belt buckles are particularly good IN 1t.

Indians Burn Money.

III ORD has been received by the gov

w that the Yuma Indians In Lower
California have been burning large sums
Of money These Indians do not seem to
realize the full value Of Uncle Sans

fires. 1t has been the habit Of the Indians
to offer up as sacrifices United States bills
in large amounts, and it 10 one Of their
burial customs to burn all money left ~
a member of the tribe who departs to
the Happy Hunting Ground.
The last case reported to the govern
ment oficials was that Of q young Yuma
brave who was rejected by his sweet
heart. The Indian fell in love with one
Of the daughters of the tribe, but his love
was not accepted in the way he wished
and he killed himself. The young man
had saved $4,000, and this, with his other
worldly goods, was offered up in sacrifice
over his grave. The Yuma Indians have
burned other sums Of money just as large.
