[ ¢ # DIAMONDS, RUBIES AND PEARLS, The Pope's Tiaras and Chalice Glitter with Precions Gen: Thé present pope has no less than four tiaras, the most noted of which was “built” expressly for Pius [X., by the order of ex-Queen Isabella of Spain in 1854, Although presented to the pope at the time mentioned, it was never worn until the services of the proclamation of the dogma of the immaculate conception Its form is ovoid, with a foundation of silver cloth, upon which, piled one above the other, are three crowns, magnilicent in brilhant diamonds and other precious stones and pendant pearls. On the summit of this ovoid structure is a cross of dinmonds, on the top of which is perched a globe of vrecious stones, supported by u great, deep,azure, sparkling sapphire The erowns resemble ducal erowns in heraldry,the pearl ornaments alternating with leaf ornaments; would-be monotony of the lower avoided by golden lines or bands, between which are literally sown, as in a field,emeralds, rubies and pearl This beautiful piece of headgear weighs two and a quarter pounds, and cost only @ tritle over 400,000 francs. In 1853 Abdul jid, the Turkish sul- tan, sent Piu: X. an Oriental saddle, whose cloth and leather portions, except the seat, were studded with precio stones, mostly diamonds. ‘The highest expression of the Turkish emperor’s ap- preciation of a person, whothor an am- bassador or the ambassador’s master, is a horse or a saddle. But since Clement X1V., who becamo pope in 1 was thrown from his horsen the Roman forum, the Pontiffs have ce eques- trian performances, and thercfore the sultan’s saddle had no pract or pos- gible destination beyond being hung up on a peg within a gluss case. However, as the pope wanted a svlen- did ch one day a happy thought came to him, and he ordered the saddle taken from its peg, and the pre s gtones picked out, that they might come the decorations of a chalice 1 equal il and costlin ueen Isabella Med, IX deopest biug diamonds were this enamel the ed in bouquets, prece de reaistance wus de wholly of diamond stood out i magniticent relief agai azure background., This chali used on the ocension of t of the dogma, and the cle say that the sight of it “‘produced a pro- found impression, —— AMERICAN LADIES SNUBBED. Restrictions on DPresentations to Queen Victoria, There has of , Labonchere, been such a rush of Am an ladies to be presented to the queen that o most uncompromising cireular has been issued from the ation, in which b “hiite announces that there can \tations from the diplomatic t under special circum stances, , when a lady H 1 such genuine distinction that her position in the United States justities her attend- at the drawing-room under the ter. The feverish yearning to bend the knee at Buckingham palace, which possesses Ny ladies, arises from the extravagant notion that an attend drawing-room will inevitabiy produce an invitation to the jubilee en- tertainment; but there are soma Ameri- cans now fluunting about London who could assure their countrywomen that it is one thing to attend a drawing-room, and quite another to get invited to the palace. As a commentary upon this, it may be well to add that,out of 1,690 presentations to the queen the present season, the Americans numbered only fifty, which hardly justifies the title of a “rush.” It may also be added that youth,good looks, el}wnlnlly mone 1 continue, as heretofore,to win admission to this show, as to Buflilo Bill's, and not personal merit or distinction, which is not always accompanied with the above. —_— On the Verge of Marriage. Harper's Bazar: Once engaged the happy pair should avoid all public dem- onstrations of affection, except that they may walk together arm ir arm, and thi young lady may drive out with her afli anced with a scrvant behind, She must not, however, go to the opera or theatre with him alone; she must have a chaperon if she would consult the prejudices of society. While it is delightful to seec a young couple really in love they should not go to a theatre to show it~ All unsophsti- cated human beings are fond of this egols e adeux, but it is most painful to the lookers-on. ‘Lhese lovers should re- member that rcophx are observing them, laughing at them, and if they make love on a stage-coach drive, a picnic, a lawn tenn!s‘pnrty.(hu whole pleasure of the arty is spoiled. A woman loses her ignity by this process, and nothing is finer In ‘a young woman than a sweet, maidenly reserve. When an engagement is announced the family of the lover all call on that of the lady. The announcement should come from the mother of the gentleman; as soon as is conyenient snd proper there should be an invitation extended by the family of the young man to that of the young woman. She then becomes an autocrat; everything is referred to her. She goes out with her future mother-in- law or sisters, and is one of them in fact, though not in name; she ¢an visit them at their country house: but she must never travel alone with her lover. Our lnnn\m‘o is singularly delicient; we have no word to represent fiance and fiancee; “my daughter's engaged” is n very awkward phrase; “‘my fixmxhler‘s beau™ is old fashioned; **my daughter's young man" is very countrified; *my daughter’s lover” is scarcely n ';ruper hrase; so we have to beat about the bush unless we adopt the French wor Lol R As hatter edframe may be reinvigor- Ated by that wonderful tonic, Dr. J. H. MelLean's Strengtheming Cordial and Blood Purifier, it enriches the blood, and witalizes and strengthens the whole body. B The Dressmakers' Blacklist. There is oxcitement nmong the ladies of Pittsburg’s fashionable society. It has been announced that the dressmakers and milliners of that city,tired of dunning their customers for the amount of un- paid bills, will combine to make a com- rle(e list of the aelinquents and will pub- ish this list after the manner of the Mer- chant Tailors’ union. The modest, shrinking element of the female sex— and everybodv knows that this element Is very large—has an aversion to anything like publicity, and this element of Pitts- burg womanhood will doubtless resolve that the milliners and dressmakers are “horrid, mean things.'" Dressmakers ought to know that ladies don't like this sort of thing, and if they persist in it they must expect to lose good customers, Just how these fashionable queens of Pittsburg society expect the dressmakers and milliners to live is something that they could, perhaps, not readily express. As for the idea that dressmakers would suffer by losing customers of this kind, it haunu as absurd as the South street clothing dealer’s remark that he lost mnnni on every suit of clothes that he sold, but ma nsi(;d to lnlonhnysemnz A great many. But it is possible that the Pittsburg fashionables can stave off the threatened doom. If they will all make haste to pay the mone{ that they owe to ihe honest, hard-working wonien who jorve them as well as possible for the sake of & decent livellhood, the dreaded ex- posure may not be made after all. Women should not_forget that they owe speciul consideration to other women who are obliged to make a living and who make it honestly. e SIMPLICITY IN FUNERALS. The Vulgar Display of Studied Ex- travagance a Relic of Ignorance. Philadelphia Times: Notwithstanding the carnest efforts made by many minis ters and leading public journals to re- strain the excessive cost of funcrals, the expensive display in the burial of the dead is increasing rather than dimnnish- ing. 1f this extravagant and_utterly un- compensating expenditure in funerals was confined to people of abundant means, who can afford any outlay on funeral occasions, it would be a matter of little or no concern to the public; but 8o far as there has been growth of simplicity in funeral, it has been chiefly among the more intelligent and opulent people, while those who can least afford extravagart funerals are compelled by what they regard as an imperious cus- tom to exhibit their appreciation of their dead by the wanton outlay of money in their burial. A great funeral parade on the burial of the private citizen is not only unreason- able, but it fairly crosses the line of vulgar display. Grief for the dead is the most sacred of the world’s many sor- rows, and it is the last thing that should be paraded before the unsympathetic multitude, Indeed, the burial of the dead should be as far removed as possi- ble from the outside world. The dead should be sacred to the gaze and lovin, oftices of those who mourn for them; and there should be absolute exclusion of the curious idlers whose presence so sadly Lnrs the sanctity of grief So ostentatious as become the display of the merest regulation respect for the dead that many of the death notices in the public journ- als haye added to them the wise admoni- tion—"'Please omit flowers.” And many others have the still better admonition— “‘Interment private.”” The admonitions, forced by love of lavish display, teach the lesson that all should learn, ‘and the lesson that would save thousands of poor fanulies from starvation or severest sac- rifice for monihs after a funeral, merely to gratify the vulgar taste for vain pomp and idle ceremony in the burial of the dead, This tendency to parade and display on funeral occasions is_oppressive upon the largest portion of citizens in every com- munity, for the majority of the people in every city or neighborhood are in moder- ate or straightened circumstances. They feel compelled to imitate those of fortune in ostentatious respect for the dead, and, between costly caskets, flowers, car- riages, and decking whole families in the barbarous habiliments of woe, they often involve themselves in debts which they cannot pay or must practice the severest self-de) for months after to defray the cost of what is simply n mockery of hon- est grief. It is not only a needless op- Ereuion of versons of humble means, ut it 1s a burlesque of the sincere sor- row that is felt for the dead. The as- sumption that love for the dead is exhib- ited in a profusion of costly flowers, or in a costly easket, or in a long line of costly carriages, for idle-lookers-on, is simply fareical. It strips the love of the dead of its holiest oflices and transforms a funeral into the empty pomp of a vulgar parade, while it impoverishes many to the verge of want. And why is it done? Simp‘y beeause many of those who can afford it make a parade of funerals, as if parade and extravagance were tributes of re- speet for the dead; and the poor, often more sincere in their grief, are taught that the measure of respect for their loved ones who are called away is the measure of pomp and extrayagance ex- hibited in their burial. The world is growing in intelligence, and as it advances in enlightened civili- zation the simplicity of funerals will surely follow. Just as intelligence in- creases, tho love of hollow pomp and ceremony is diminished, and the severest simplicity in the burial of the dead will be a certaln outgrowth of a higher stand- ard of culture among the veovle. The vulgar display of studied extruvagance is a relic of ignorance, as the unos tatious parade of woe in unhealthy unsightly crape is a relic of barb: adopted and softened by the caprice of fashion; and both insult the sincere grief of the honest heart. The burial of the dead is solely the affair of the sorrow- smitten houschold, and bereavement can have no e or tolerance for the pageant that invites the idle multitude and that exacts oppressive tribute from the l\our. Itis simply a want of broad intelligence that makes the Stewarts and the Vanderbilts erect great burglar- vroof vaults to protect the remains of their dead from the grasp of the thief who would steal them for a ransom, Had they erected a crematory and incinerated ~ the bodies, as" did the most enlightened of the earlier civili- zations, they can preserve all that can be preserved of their departed friends in the beautiful urn and make it a house- hold treasure; but they teach extrava- gance and ostentarious display, and, in the case of Stewart, it is not even cer- tain that his dust rests under the costly monument that 1s inscribed with his name. There is every reason for simplicity in funerals. mplieity is the only thing that harmonizes with the grief of the home that is shadowed by the angel of sorrow, and the ostentatious display of bereavement under the fitful reguiations of fushion offends the affectionate mem- ory of the dead. Let pulpit and press and intelligent teachers of every class unite to bring into disfavor the ostenta- tious display of costly funerals and costly fantastic mourning apparel, and the poor will not alone be protected from needless and oppressive expenditure, but all will be protected from vulgar pomp and ceremony which ever mock those who sincerely mourn the loss of their household gods. —_— THE TOY PISTOL, An Implemont that Causes More Deaths in One Day Than the Railroads Do in a ‘Whole Year. Annually succeeding the Fourth of July the papers of the country teem with denunciations of the deadly toy pistols. The harm 18 nlrc:\llfi‘ done and the words are then wasted. By that time at least a thousand boys’ lives have been suddenly ended by the infernal contrivance. More boys are killed annually in the United States by the toy pistol than the number of people who commit suicide, arc killed by lightening, or the cars and yet the sale of the toy pistols goes on without the efforts of any society or party to prevent it. The kiling {s [ very simple operation. The pistol is so constructed that a cap composed of cor- rosive sublimate is placed where it will be struck by the hammer of llle{-mol, making a sound peculiarly pleasing to the small boy, but very frequently mlfi "‘lfi‘ a portion of the cap in his hand. The result 18 quite equal to the bite of a rattlesnake. Asa rule the boy dies within o week of lock jaw, often suffering in- tense torture. At least a dozen deaths re- sult from this cause in every city in the country on every fourth, The "toy store’ windows are piled full of these murderous implements, and it is save to suy that pretty near the usual number of deaths will occur from this cause this year. Beware of the toy pistol. — ‘“Unzer F Good Sort of Patient, _London Figaro: The crown prince of Germany astonishes those around him b, the resignation and good temper wltg which he bears his very trying ailment.

School-Teaching That Will Seem Very Fuany to Boys and Girls Who Now Attend Now England Schoold, _Now London Day: In_those days the first exercise was reading two rses from the Testament by the older pupils, who had back seats,” while the small children were nearest the fire. After the ding if the teacher was a man of prayer he offered one. This was done while the little ones were roasting before the fire. Then began the exercises 1n Webster’s spelling book, the teacher in winter pointing to the letters with a pen- knife, and in summer with the point or his scissors, as they were more or less in use. Thumps were generally on the head, with a thimble on the teacher’s finger, if afemale. Then came the study of a-b, ab. Then reading was begun with the maxim *‘Let no man put off the law of God.” Then as the reader progressed came the stories in. Webster's spelling book of the unfortunate and silly dairy maid who, with her milk pail on her head, leculated how many eggs she would sell it for and what a fine dre; she would buy, until, tossing her hea with these prideful reflections, down came_ the milk pail to the ground and with it all her sweet hopes. Then there was the moral story about the boys' stealing applos. The farmer first tried to stop them by throwing tufts of grass, but fimHnF them of no eftect he threw stones, which were more effectual, The American Preceptor succceded that book. The children were given a recess, though it was not known by that rame. The boys went first by themselves and afterwards the girls, At recess the teacher mended the goose.quill pens, the quills being picked up oftentimes while the children were onthe way to school, They woula be damp, and & spht could not well be made to form the two nibs. 1f there were girls who could not learn the *‘rule of three’ the teacher explained it during the recess. Shortly came arap on the window to call in all the children. After geography followed a lesson in grammar,forty minutes long,which none of the chitdren underatood. but most of them hated., Rulea paver was not known. The father bought a few sheets of paper, which were stitched at home. It _was all qualities. The teacher had to rule the lines, and keep busy mending the pens. The ink was home made. Later on came the Columbian Orator and English reader, filled with solid mat- ter.not suited to the wants of the learner. Children of sixteen, or about that age, got to read very well, the book passing from class to class, The girls were gen- erally the best readers. There were no regular classes in arithmetic, but the books were Daboll's and Pike's arith- metics, No lessons were given out, but & pupil would get op as he could. The teacher, if he could, wonld work out a “sum.” He had a book wiih the problem worked out. When a pupil was troubled, he would eol? fromy thig, and the pupil in turn wou! confl a similar book in his own dusk, an| is satistied both teacher and pupil, But the happiest ex- ercise was atthe endof the week; reciting from the commandményts and_ the cate- chism and the tahled of weights and measures. The books of the old testa- ment had to be recited in order. Boston as a Gambling Town, Boston Letter in Kaisas City Journal: This is quite a poker town.

The nature of this system may be readily explained by supposing that you are betting simply on the odd and even. Let us assume, for example, that you begin by butting five $1 chips upon the odd. You lose, and thereupon bet six chips. This bet you win, and the croupier shoves you over §6. Youare $1ahead so far. Having won the last bet, you risk one chip less next time and lose $5. Then you add chip once more and win £, Thus, h ing lost two bets and won two, you are still #2 winner. You go on, adding a chip every time you lose and taking off one every time you win, the result being supposing you win only any bets as you lose you nevertheless find yourself at the end of your play $4 ahead for every pair of bets you have made, minus the percentage of the bank. It has al- ways been understoed hitherto that the progressive system was of no use save against unlimited faro, but it is possible thatthe youth from Cambridge has im- proved upon it. His winnings are vari- ously stated at from 5,000 to $30,000, % -— SUMMER HEALTH NOTES. The Medical Value of Lemons—A Hot Weather Malady. Chicago Journal: *“While you are giv- ing people simple rules for preserving their health, why do you tell them about the use of lemons?” an intelligent professional man asked me the other day, He went on to say that he had long been troubled with an inactive liver, which gave him u world of pain and trouble, until recently he was advised by a friend to take a gluss of hot water with the juice of half a lemon squeezed into it, but no sugar, night and morning,and see what the effect would be. He tried it, and found himself better almost immed- ) His dmly headaches, which med- ne had failed to cure, left him: his ap- petite improved, and he gained several pounds in weight within a few weeks. After a while he omitted the drink,either at night or in the morning, and now at times does without either of them. *‘1 am sauslied from experience,” said he, “ithat there is no better medicine for per- sons who are troubled with bilious and liver complaints than the simple remedy 1 have given, which is far more effica- cious than quinine or any other drug, while it is devoid of their injurious con- sequences, It excites the liver,stimulates the digestive organs and tones up the system generally. It is not unpleasant to take, either; indeed, one soon gets to hking it.” Al Safe Summer Drinks. Allentown National Educator: A glass of cool water, not ice water, is the most delicious, grateful and gratifying bever- age that a person can take in hot weather, besides costing nothing and leading to no bad habits, Men in glass factories, where the heat is fearful, drink water only, not iced, and are healthy and vigorous.

The usher took me half way up the aisle, and I sat down behind a man who was perhaps forty-cight years of age.
