YOUR JEWELS, LADIES.


The average person is probably ac-
quaintcd with eight or ten varieties of
precious stones, but, as n matter OF
fact. there are from eighty to one hum
dred varieties in everyday use ana
perhaps one hundred Others that are
NOR or less often SEEM
The property Of hardness lis of vital
Importance, says shop Notes Quarterly
The beauty of "A great many precious
stones is impaired by rough and i'm
proper usage. only those stones which
combine great beauty and rarity with d
high degree of durability can lay claim
to the title Of precious.
A scale has been devised to indicate
the relative degree of hardness, On,
this scale the diamond is representes
by 10; the sapphire, .; topaz, 8: quartz,
I, and feldspar (moonstone). s. All
stones below the number of five are re
garded as too soft for articles of
iewelry,
In each Of these degrees, however
there is considerable variation. In the
diamond alone there are very great diff
ferences of hardness, as between stones
coming from different localities. ana
the same remark applies to sapphires.
There Is. as much difference between
the diamond and the sapphire in poin,
of hardness as between the sapphire
and the lowest number on the scale.
They all have their relative densities
indicated by the relation of size or
weight.

1t is undoubtedly wiser to end q

Three hours a day is enough study
for any child during its first year or
two of school life, especially 1t the
ages or 6 and I.
Children Of his tender period should
also anticipate the ills of faulty stom-
achs by eating warm meals regularly.
At the school age delayed toilets are
responsible for much of the eonstipa-

and poor assimilation of grown-ups.

A FASHIONABLE AFTERNOON
GOWN.

Checked materials trimmed with
plain satin are eminently fashionable
this season. This gown shows the com
bination used to exceptional advantage.
The blouse is a very simple one IN
peasant style. 1t can be trimmed with
bands of any width on the sleeves,
or with pointed cuffs as preferred. the
sailor collar cal be used or omitted.
In this instance the N-shaped opening
is faced with lace. and collar and UNI
dersleeVes are made of lace. The eff

one. while the labor is slight, but the
entire blouse can be made of one ma
terial and worn either with or with
out a sailor collar. The skirt is a new
one in six cores with an exceptionally
effective trimming land. In the Illus
tratibn Ii Is cut a little above the nor
nal waist line, but this season both
high and natural waist lines are equally
fashionable, and the skirt can be I'm
ished in either way. Satin and velvet
are to be extensively used as trimming.
and this gown is n the height of style.
but there never mas been a season al
lowing greater variations, and the
same model can be treated in many
ways. The gown, made of plain vcile,
cashmere or material of the kind, with
trimming of striped silk, would be
handsome and quite different from the

without the sailor collar would mean IL
simpler dress, yet the design Is just

TRUNK KEYS ALL ALIKE.


/ suppose there is no one, however
met1odical. who has not a some time
lost his trunk key When about to take 81
journey, says a writer in Good House
keeping. The chances for losing keys
are |redoubl-d in large families where
the members lend their trunks to one
another. After several experiences of
this kind we found a solution of the
difficulty. Each person has the same
kind of lock put on all his pieces of
baggage. In this way each of us has
as many keys as he has trunks. but
they all duplicate each other. II has
been such an advantage over the old
method tina ] have been wondering
lately why we do not go Il step farther
and have one family lock so that any
key in the house would unlock any
trunk.

TO BOX BRITT

New York Aug. 14-"Young' Corbett
has joined the army of come backs"
The great little fighter has determined
to fight once more-not for gold but
simply to get evenge. Many years ago.
when he was at his zenith. Young Cor
bett fought Jimmy Britt on the coast.
The battle went twenty rounds and
was awarded to Britt. The decision
was a terrible blow to Corbett.
Only a few weeks ago a tentative
match between Britt and Battling Nelson
was arranged. The agreement woke up
al the anger srnoldering In Corbett. Be-
seeching the promoters of The Britt
Nelson bout to give him a chance #
Britt won and receiving a favorable
reply, the a~ldermanic fighter started to
train. He is now up with Sailor Burke
at Johnson's road house, sticking
steadily to the task. A winning fight
with Britt, Corbett figures will put
him square with the world.
AS Nelson has Cancelled his match
with Britt, owing to the death of his
mother, Corbett hopes to get an early
chance at Britt.
