Two coiled dull gold serpents, between
which is another of platinum, make a uniqne
ring.
A scarecrow of gold is a design in scarf
pins which ofTers a foil to the well dressed
dude.
A cat's eye encircled by small diamonds is
a popular pattern both in scarf pins and
rings.
Two rows of small circular plain gold disip
overlapping each other make a very hand-
some bracelet.
A brilliant yellow diamond with a pure
white mate set on knife edge is a pretty de-
sign in bracelets.
June bugs in brown enamel make brooches
realistic enough in appearance for the most
exacting naturalist.
A dainty hat pin is of gold, topi«d with a
perfect pearl and piercing a dragon fly with
jeweled eyes and wings.
A dainty hairpin is in the shatie of Uire>*
; irregular curves, in Roman gold, set with a
diamond, a ruby and an emerald.
A tiny oxidised silver bat hanging l'rom
the upper horn of moonstone crescent is au
old but dainty pattern in scarf pins.
Wampum beads, represented by dainty
silver filigree, make a unique bracelet.
Each bead has a rim of dull gold at either
and. .
Crystal bails containing a stem winding
watch, whoso tlnv dial is much enlarged by
it;, spherical envelope, are now to be >eeu m
many windows.
A tasteful pattern in a child's ring consists
of a number of small turquoises, set at equal
distances all around a plain sold bund, hav-
ing slightly raised edges.
A hollow ball of gold, having stars and
leaves pierced through the shell and set with
small jewels, makes an ornamental top for a

lapping a similar star set with rubies, is a
pleasing pattern in brooches,

ternate diamonds and rubies, each inn sep-
arate box setting, and all mounted on a
knife edge liand of Roman gold.
Miniature paintings on rock crystal and
ivory, set around with alternate pearls and
diamonds, are among the most, tasteful
brooches yet offered.-Jewelers' Weekly.

irreo, in which the principal curves start from
rubies, the whole encircled by a diamond
paved silver ribbon, makes a very handsome
brooch.
Small hammered gold paint tubes fastened
together, side bv aide, with platinum links
make a bracelet which will probably tftid
favor in the eyes of customers with artistic
tinuo licit*.
\ pretty design etched on a child's silver
lmlg represents a party of juvenile merry
makers, some gayly dancing about a Slay pole
whi lout hers st roll about and pluck the early

Cupid's Geography.
When we are far apart, my love,
The world is very wide;
But it assumes a different shape
When we are side by side.
For thea 'tis so diminutive
To our ecstatic view,
We half imagine it was made
Jufit large enough for two. —Life.

GOOD MANNERS.
Never try to outshine, but to please.
Never press a favor where it seems unde-
sired.
Never intrude ill health, pains, losses or
misfortunes.
Never intentionally wound the feelings of
a human beiug.
Never talk or laugh aloud in public places
or upon the street.
Never forgot that vulgarity has its origin
iti ignorance or selfishness.
Never urge another to do anything against
his desire unless you see danger before him.
Do not ask another to do what you would
not lie glad to do under similar cireum
stances.
Never omit, to i»rform a kind act when it
cart be done with any reasonable amount of
xertion.
Do not make witticisms at the expense of
others which you would not wish to have
made upon yourselves.
Remember that good manners are thoughts
filled with kinduesti and refinement and then
translated into behavior.
Be not ostentatious in dress or deportment;
nothing can l» more vulgar. See that cos-
tumes tit the time and occasion.
Bo rude to none; rudeness harms not even
the humblest and poorest to whom it is di-
rected, but it injures the exhibitors.
Never treat superiors with servility or in-
feriors with arrogance. Speak as kindly to
a day laborer as to one occupying a high po-
sition.
Always give precedence to elders, % isitors
and superiors, Offer them the best seat at
tho table, the best place by tho tire and the
first of everything. Go further than mere
form, and 860 that they aro comfortable and
happy.
DRAWING ROOM GOSSIP.
It is to be notod that the ml sunshade of
five years ago has reappeared at the seaside.
A marked change In tho style of livery is
already noted by the close observers at New-
port
A good many of tho so called Mexican
hammocks would be a real curiosity in that
country.
Even the upright piano comes nowadays
in a bamboo case for the parlor of the coun-
try hduae.
If you haven't rattan furniture in your
country house you are considerably behind
the procession.
The Wrong Medicine.
Young Doctor (to patient)—That prescrip-
tion I left last night, sir, was a mistake. It1
was intended for another patiant. Did you
have it filled?
Patient—Yes, doctor.
Doctor—Well, how are you feeling this
mornihgi
Patient—Very much better.—New York 1
Sun.
Early Economizing.
His face had a look as if famine had traced

But no—the fact is he's already in haste
