Under the circumstances careful and de-
tailed consideration can be given TO moth

most interest In the afternoon was Sgam-
hati's concerto In G minor for pianoforte
and orchestra OF which the solo part was
played by Mr.. Ernesto Console. 1t hal
not been heard before in New York; indeed
Signor Sgambatis music has been sadly
and undeservedly neglected. A one ot IN"
few Italian composers who have devota 81
their attention to higher musical forms than
the opera he has deserved better at our
hands. There was too much raggedness IN
the orchestral part 10 encourage very
energetic expression Of opinion concerning
the work as a whole. but there was no
denying the original charm Of the second
moyement-a romanZa-in which Mr. Con-
solo produced q really astonishing effect

was throughout solid, dignlied and brilliant

The Old Bucket and the Half BusheI

GOLD FOR JEWELLERS.
Nest Of the Raw Material Used by
Them Is Bought From the
Government.

jewelers. derive their gold supply
from various sources, such as old jew
e1ry, banks and refneries, but the
greater part Of the raw gold used by
the manufacturer comes from the gov
eminent
From the refiner the gold comes 10
the factory In the form Of buttons or
granules The refneries employ the
waste Of the jewelry shops and by
burning off the material portions and
sUbjecting the result to certain proc
esses recover much gold that other
wise would be lost to the trade.
For many years there was a steady
drain on the gold coin in circulation,
caused by the use Of the coin by jew
elers in search Of raw material. The
fact that our government turned out a
coin that after passing through the
assay Office was Of twenty-five carat
dneness, only two grains below the
2 pure gold standard, and had also been
+ worked over, the silver and copper
/ forming the alloy having been mixed
thoroughly in the gold before the coin
was minted, made the gold coin par
ticularly attractive to the jeweler
The manufacturer experienced no trOu-
bic when the gold coin was used, in
aBmuch as the alloy always had been
combined with the metal, and all that
was necessary for the commercial
utilization Of the coin was to alloy it
sufficiently to bring the gold down to
the point required: also, from the jew
elers viewpoint, a lot Of time and diff
Guilty was saved, inasmuch as this
scheme did away with much boOkkeep-
ing and rendered unnecessary the ty-
ing up Of considerable amounts Of
money in the purchase of raw mate
rial to be held as stock. Later, how
ever, the government made up the
pure gold in brick or bar form, and it
IS in that shape the greater bulk Of
the supply is now derived.
Thousands Of dollars pass between
the banks and the manufacturing jew
elers every year il the forms Of bars
OF gold, the banks handling these for
the benefit Of their clients. The bricks
vary in value according to weight from
500 to $500 and come with the gov
ernment assay Office stamp as a guar
antee Of purity and fneness.-New

MACARONl DANDlES.
Gretesque Fashions In England In the
Eighteenth Century.


Dandyism developed a new phase of
quiet richness during early Georgian
times, and the court exquisites were
stately figures in finely laced shirts,
long skirted coats and gold clocked
stockings. The hats worn by the
beau were modified reproductions Of
those in fashion at Versailles, and the
art of wearing them was shown in
the tilt In fact different angles in
the tilt identified the wearers status
and locality
In 1872 dandyiSm became again par
amount A band Of young blOods re-
turned from an extended tour abroad.
and while in Italy they had contrived
to get several new ideas about dress
into their somewhat empty heads.
Fired with an ever growing sense Of
their own importance as arbiters Of
fashion, they formed themselves into q
group known as the Macaroni club. in
cOnuadistinction to the good old fash
ioned Beefsteak club 81 London.
The Macaronies dressed their hair
in enormous side curls. with a hideous
knOcker-like twist at the back. With
this exaggerated coiffure a tiny hat
was worn. which it was correct for
the wearer to raise with his tasseIed
cane.
4 soft white handkerchief was tied
in a huge bow under the NIacaronTs
chin. His coat was short, and his
tight knee breecheS were made Of
striped or flowered silk. Thus garbed,
with innumerable dangling seals, two
watches at least, silk stockings and
diamond buckled shoes. the dandy
walked abroad, eminenty satisfied
with himself and quite convinced that
his appearance was greatly envied.-

Pretty Heavy Umbrellas.

The great objection to umbrellas 100
years ago was their weight, and when
It is stated as a matter of fact that the
very smallest umbrella then weighed
no less than three and a half pounds It
will probably be admitted that the OBJ
lection was a justifiable one. Instead
Of the thin rainprOof fabrics which
now form the covering of umbrellas
nothing better was known than leather
or Oilcloth. The ribs were Of wood or
whalebone, and such thing as a steel
rod was, Of course, unknown. The
stick was usually Of heavy oak. In
those days, too, many umbrellas had
the additional incumbrance Of feathers
over the top on the theory Of shed
ding water off a ducks back" But
the oilcloth and leather umbrellas, not
wNhstanding the feathers, were apt TO
leak.
