JonJan Sf lU a it Jgr In their drew oar eases given tin evclnsively to toe custody of their jewelry, although the public gaze they orestnt a appearance of being very lightly ornamented In that respect.

T0.l.wi the becinntng, as it were we might first consider the proper thin? in scarf pins. lint here, by way of parenthesis, me remark that if a man wears a diamond coilar button his scarf mast be so arranged that under no circumstances must the jewel show. Th nrrlnKment ot Th Rail is really considered the most ostentatious form of vulgarity. The scarf pin itseif furnishes a wide expanse for the exercise of good taste. Any form whatever is good form, provided only tbat the ptn is not large and glaring.

The new fad which places the Pin at the side of the scarf instead of in the centre is not an idle affectation, but has tborouirh common sense for a basis. A pin phiced in the middle of a tie is nothing more than an idle orimment whereas the same article of jewelry stuck in tbe side serves a practical purpose, for it must be borne in mind that men who do the correct thing now tie their own scarfs, and the pin when placed at the stde serve to hold them position. Esnecially is this true in the case of the much-used four-in-hand tie. This trivial custom shows clearlv that when a new fad has sound reason for its existence it iscertain 10 win, e. en in the faceof public ridicule.

When a few young men first placed their pins at one side of their four-in-hand starts tbey were laughed at. but the pnbhc coming to understand the reason and appreciate the convenience, have now taken it to its bosom and made the practice a popular one. In this connection I should also mention that Jast season a new and somewhat similar fad was introduced in tne evening costume, aud a number of swell young men, who invariably do the correct thing, their white lawn ties securely in position at both sides of their collars by ths insertion of very small peirl pins or tiny points ornamented with rubies. These are comparatively inexpensive, and certainly present a better appearance than a shiny pinhead or a tie awry. htuds have long presented a question of much idle dispute.

Of course, in these days of hitrh-necked vests and breast-covering scarfs they do notenter into the problem of daytime dress, but for The Eveaina- Cestntne, many brains fcnaccustomed to serious labor, have grown "weary and tired over the consideration of the arguments of the advocates of one or two or three studs. It really makes very little difference how many a man adorns his shirt-front with, provided only they are not large or gaudy. I think tbat three are tbe mast popular number, and probably may be considered as being in the best form. The most exauisite stvle consists of three small pearl buttons, with sleeve links to watch. These latter pieces of jewelry are made very exquisitely in the link form of very small bars of gold, with a pearl at both ends of each bar.

If a man wishes te be very swell, and if bis bank account is very plethoric, he can vary his studs bv havinsr one a black pearl, aaother a pink and a third a white pearl. A black pearl of good and form would cost about $1 200; an Oriental pink pearl about $800 and a white pearl of size end form aud hue in keeping wiih the other two about $oOO, making a charming total for the three studs of $2500. et a man of moderate means can appear in just as good form in this respect as his richer brother at an expenditure of about $12. That sum would purcnase him three gold studs wit white linen surface or a front in imitation of pearl buttons and sleeve buttons to match. Thus arrayed he can hold bis head as high and have every reason to leel as comfortably vain as a man of millions.

The watch chain is the article in which men otherwise tasteful must frequently violate the tenets of good taste. In fact it is frequently an index to character; the heavier the chain, the lighter the man, and vice versa. There is nothing that so mars the general appearance of an otherwise well dressed man, than to see a heavy cable stretched across his paunch as if he had been brought to anchor and was afraid that some one would trv to steal him away. Tbe most correct tlnusr in chains is made very small and very thin, and can be either of gold or platinum and gold, and the watch which is attached at one end should be almost as small as that of a lady, For evening dress one need wear no chain at all. or else, if he wishes to be very swell, a silk ribbon of either black or white with a small gold buckle on it and a fragment of chain and a small bar at one end.

A watch guard of this kind adds somewhat to the attractive tastefulness of a gentlemen's attire. A word as to the rincs and we have com plated the list of permitted to men. Many men of most excellent taste wear none at all. and icood authorities contend that those who are barren of ornament on their hands are in correct form. I see no objection, nowever, to The Use of One King, provided it is of the proper sort which provision, of course, utterly taboos the flagrantly vulgar and utterly ridiculous thumb rings which some "Adonis" actors wear.

Very attractive finger coverings are made with a sapphire and two diamonds, or a ruby and two diamonds, or a cats-eye and two diamonds or a turquoise or an emerald alone and any one of these is in eood form. To wear two is objectionable. aitnougn trie objection is sometimes overcome by, a new fad of the jewellers, wmcn mates wnat are apparently two rings into one band, being made in a double form and whatever iewels are used duplicated above and below. I consider, however, that the ring which is the least objectionable and which is in the best style is a signet made entirely of plain gold with a crest cut in a medallion ot the same material. ju.

At the examina tion of a girls' school in the Deccan by the local committee of managers the pupils were requested to write the story of their daily life and avocations. The exercises which they produced were very similar in many points, but this was one of the best: "After getting leave from school on Saturday 1 went home ana put away my slate and books: 1 next took off my school dress, and having put on other clothes, I attended to nousenoia woric. wnen evening came 1 lit the light in the house, and taking my beads, I went to worship our god, Jugonath. Having prostrated myself before our great lord Jugonath, I went into the house, and taking my book, sat down to read. When the night was somewhat advanced I put away my hook.

Then having taken my food and washed my face and hands, I spread my bed on the ground and sat down. Then I gave praise to the great ather and supreme and 1 went to sleep. In the early morning I got no, and having performed my household duties. I took my book and sat down to read.

8EBPENTINB CIBCLffi. Tho Wonderful Problem Propounded by a Harvard Scientist. CPlttsbarg Dljpatch. We ought to be perfectly happy that we live in this glorious age of scientific thought. We believe there never was another age in which the astronomer of Harvard Observatory could propound the following problem and receive so many perfectly reasonable answers to it: "Suppose," said he, "that three snakes, each two feet in length, should catch each other by the tip ot the tail, thus making circle six feet in circumference.

tuproy tbat each snake should begin to swalloV the snake in front of him. In what way would the resultant figure, after each snake had swallowed the one in front of him, differ from the original circle?" The answers have been many and various, some of them, we are informed, "entering the consideration of tbe fourth dimension of siiaco," because any sue of the snakes would have swallowed the two in front of him, and yet have been swallowed by the two in back of him, and, therefore, would be both inside and outside of his two fellows. The man who lives in an age when men cau tackle and grasp and make so clear to others an idea of this sort has no business to go about talking of tbe good old times or looking hopefully forward to anything more muieniumish. A BAX.Ii CRANK'S INVENTION. A Maohine that Will Make the Services of a Pitcher Unnecessary.

Atlanta Out at East Point there is abase ball crank who is working on a patent ball tosser or pitcher with which he expects to revolutionize tbe national game. His name is Que 11 man, and he Is an ex-professional ball player. "Base ball is the greatest game on earth, be says, "but there is one great objection to it and that is the power of the umpire. His calling of balls and strikes allows him to give the game to either nine when the teams are well matched, riow. my patent will do away with this objectionable feature, it is a propelling machine which wi.

allow the man who stand In the box to throw every ball over tbe plate. He ean elevate or lower it so as to throw a nan anywnere be tween the knee and the waist, ne velocity of the ball can I regulated, and the team witn the best catcher can throw theiwif test ball. Only three balU will be thrown over the plate, and the striker must strike or run. Of course there will be more balls hatted hut this will require more skilful playing in the field. The game will not then go to the nine whose pitcher can the most befuddle the umpire.

Mr ball-ter will cmatn a sensation in base ball circles. and I expect to make big money out of it" Salaries for Wives. Mllwanke. Sentinel. It is the opinion of the Supreme Court of Iowa that any contract a man makes with his wife can be broken by him with impunity.

TraTelliBjc Dresses Looted After WI Great Care. The Fair Boxers of Pliila-adelpiiia. Woman Who Wedded "In Order To be a The London Dally News, speaking of the Duchess of Fife's dresses, says: One of the bride's evening dresses is in pale blue crepe de chine, and rich silk to match the shade, which is one of great softness.

The crcoe Is exquisitely draped npon both skirt and bodice. Another pa'e blue dress is made of the finest and softest corded silk of the sort known technically as faille fran-caise, and is trimmed with some costly old point d'Alencon, the deep creamy tint of which harmonizes admirably with the blue. The lace is arranged in folds like a bertha round the bodies, fastening on the right shoulder with a bow and loons that form a kind of epaulet. The lace on the skirt edges the silk on either side of an opening up tbe right, over pleats of silk. A beautiful blush pink Bilk dress is made with two bodices, one cut low and the other open in a shape.

Folds of the satin are Drought from either shoulder on the latter, those on the right side which cross over the others being edged with a border of pink ostrich feather and trimmed with very handsome pearl embroidery. A pointed piece of similar embroidery trims the "bodice at the back. Transparent sleeves of the pink crepe reach to the elbow. The low bodice is all draped with folds of crepe de chine. The skirt is edged with a wide band of pearl embroidery, another band of it running diagonally no the front and down the side, showing an interlude of pink moire bows tied up with pearl tassels.

A beautiful pink crepe dress is embroidered with silver, bands of silver passementerie are becomingly arranged upon the bodice. The skirt is all in the nil ver-hroidered pink crepe, draped in straight folds over pink satin. A lrttle striped pink brocade i mixed with the crepe. A white crepe de chine is trimmed with Alencon net in front, and finished with a sash of white moire ribbon. A short evening dress In white silk and silk muslin is prepared specially for wearing at the Scotch bals.

with silken sashes ot the Macduff tartan, which is one of the prettiest of the Scotch plaids, being in larire checks in which scarlet predominates, the other colors being green, dark blue and black. The silk skirt opens over a front of silk muslin gathered across three semicircular lines. 1 he fronts of the bodice are cut awav to show a short pleated vest of white silk muslin. A trimming of cream- colored lace softens theoutlines. Thesieeves of this dress are unusually pretty, being comoosed ot the transparent lace with folds of silk musim down tne backs of the arms.

Frincess Louise is very partial to black dresses, of which there are several for evening wear. One ism black moire silk, the skirt of which is edged with leaf-shaped tabs, which fal over a trill of black Chan- tilly lace. It is also draped with lace. The bodice is cut open DacK and tront, a shape. The bodice is bordered round the opening with a turned-back frill of black lace, in which diamond ornaments may be fastened in almost any number.

Another black dress is a rich, soft silk, made with a very long train, and opening in front over handsome folds falling straight from the waist in jetted net. There are two bodices one ont low, and the other shape. The latter has lace sleeves to tbe elbow, with chains of jet hanging over them from the shoulders. Both bodices are covered with finely cut jet From Dublin the princess has ordered several evening dresses, some of which are in very beautiful colors. One is in the soft tint now uaiversally known as old pink.

The materials are broche, crepe de chine, satin and passementerie, all carefully matched with each other. The back of the dress is made perfectly plain, with a train. In front it opens over puffings of the pinit crepe strewn witn nowers in pinic crystal passementerie. Between the puffing is a revers of pink broche. Another ot the Dublin dresses is in cardinal Irish poplin.

The back, like that of the pink, is made quite plain, but the front is gracefully draped with cardinal crepe de chine, and trimmed with bands of Irish point lace, the bodice being treated in similar fashion. A beautiful citron and silver bro cade has adeen accordion Pleating of citron colored silk muslin in front Bands of silver embroidery are also introduced.

IXondon Dally News. There was a time when It was thought that "anything would do" for travelling in. Now, however, the travelling costume is de vised for its special purpose. In an old fashion book an illustration of a "circular cloak" is shown trimmed with five rows of gimp, the weight of which must have been considerable, consid ering that at least 30 yards must have beeu used. There is no trimming what ever unon tbe skirt of the neat travelling mantle of the present season.

The bodice part is frequently embellished with a little passementerie or oraiatng. or nanus ot sus moire, and handsome cords and tassels are frequently used to fasten it at the throat. 1 ailor-made gowns are the favorites. I he most fashionable form is a perfectly plain skirt, with loose jacket tomatch. lined with colored silk, and worn over a silken blouse of the same color.

1 he gloves, shoes and stockings are tan- colored. A French woman would certainly add a brown gauze veil to these items, but they do not find much favor with uglish women, wbo enjoy fresh air unfiltered through gau.Te. The "surorisa" drARKasmtradncKd eYIv in this season by a Paris milliner will be found useful in travelling when it is necessary to dress in haste for table d'hote dinner. One of these, on the surface, has all the appearance of a very simolv made skirt and siiort jacket, well buttoned over upon tbe chest and thoroughly protective in every way.

Upon the death of her father, Miss Frankie fell heir to and she immediately started in to enjoy life at a rather rapid rate. Among her throng of acauaintances was a dashing widow, who became the bosom friend of the young heiress.

Value of Precions Stones Goy-erced ty Demani Three Studs Sufficient for Shirt Front.

Berry Wall Sees No Objection to the Wearing of Rings. tCopyrtgfit, X880. A man's jewelry generally gives a rather clear insight to his character exposing him as vain or modest: as of low degree or high instinct; as vulgar1 or. refined. Yet there is no belonging of the beau in which so-called fasbion makes such sudden and arbitrary changes.

These rarely have their ori gin in the example of a social leader, but generally newspaper men are indirectly re sponsible for the changes. That statement may be surprising, but it is true. It is a fallacy to suppose that any man or woman or any set of men or women, fix the fashion in jewelry. The changes originate in the jewelers' trade publications and the scheme is innocently carried out by the great journals. The trade organs publish accounts of new designs in jewelry which they claim are modish things.

They reifuest newspapers to copy, which the latter frequently do. I have seen issues of these trade publications con taining printed requests to jewellers to en deavor to have certain "fashion changes' copied in daily newspapers. The scheme is not always successful, but that is the way in which fashions are made. In that way tbe fob chain and. seal epidemic had its be ginning a tew yean ago, but in that in stance the jewellers overreached themselves by their rapacity.

A "new fash ion" was announced and immediately in every jewejiera window was seen a great collection of "antique" seals and old-time fob chains. The makers of bogus jewelry had similar wares quickly in tho 'market, and the a every corner lounger was seemingly as well equipped in one respect as men of fashion it was rainer iuuicious to see a typical tougn proudly danglingagold-washed copy of what was once one of tbe distinguished marks of an old-school gentleman. Naturally this condition of affairs qulekiy corrected itself. mat wmcn oecomes common can never remain fashionable, and the craze for bob chains and seals very quickly passed away. It was an exaggerated custom, and like all such met a timely end.

For the same reason a lavish display of diamonds is pecul- and nearly all gamblers and professional sporting While constant newspaper ridicule has not altered the publicly-dis played aftection of these classes ot men for a clitterinir exhibition of iewels. the cus tom has never been adopted even by those who have only a relative knowledge of what constitutes, good form, in fact the high-necked vest has for years retained its popularity as a fashionable daytime garment, because its low-cut predecessor is affected bv tliose who wisn sutnetent ex. pause of bosom to expose three brilliants to the public gaze. This species of adornment is generally accompanied by a big diamond set in a ring. The stone may be yellow, bnt it must be large.

I have never seen published an explanation of why the classes of men I have re ferred to and wbo are generally known aa "SnartincMta," "men about town," should be afflicted with violent eruptions of diamocds. I think, however, tbat the reason can be found in the fact that trusting much to the fickleness of fate, they look upon aa investment in brilliants as ait insurance against sudden financial misfortune, even more reliable than a bank account. They have a de lusion that diamonds nave, a standard value just as arbitrarily fixed as that of a double eagle. I have frequently heard men say: "It is an excellent investment to place your money in diamonds, frr they are worth so much a karat and vou ra.ii alwavs sell them for iust what vou paid for them." Vou buy a handsome dia mond brooch for your wife, payina a 7 00 for it. After she has worn it for one or two years she endeavors to sell or exchange it to her jeweller.

She is allowed V-'OO for it. She throws uo her hands and lifts up her voire and protests that her husband has either been Nwindled or deceived her as to the price. What nonsense! With diamonds as with other merchandise, a stone is worth exactly what it will brine. Were it otherwise there could be no profit in diamond dealing. How could a man make money in selling double eagles when he would ave to pay $20 for them, and could not sell them for a penny more.

An acquaintance of mine bought a few days atro at a forced sale a rincr containing a tine Indian brilliant. He paid $800 for it The very next day he was offered $1300 for it. but refused to sell because he was in love with the stone. Yet it cannot be argued from this that the ring should be valued at $1300. It was worth that sum whenti at price was offered for it by one who wanted it.

But if its sale were forced next week at 24 hours' notice it might not bring $t00. Last week a friend of mine who had paid $18u0 for a new carriage said to me: 'Come and Take an StOO Drive with M. I thought for a moment that paresis had seized him for Its piey. "I mean it" he said. "I have a carriage which has cost me $1800 and which has never been used.

We will take a drive in it. Tomorrow I will not be able to obtain $1000 for it" With jewelry it is much the same way. Feoole never consider the risk jewellers run through the vhanges of fashion, the immense stock they must carry and tbe lei'Kth of time they must bold it For all that their customer must pay. In a urom-iueut eweller'a store lost week he showed nie a hanosome coral set for which he pa 200 francs. He offered it to me for $lf.

I see by a speech of yours, made the other day, that yen have great faith in the future of the enterprise, and so I will give yon the first chance on this stock of mine. Yon have suffered so much in order to do this work that I want to see the stock get Into yeur hands.

Yon deserve it. Yon shall nave it. Ferdie. If you will send me a post office money order by return mail, covering the par value of 600 shares. I will lose the premium because I am a little pressed for money.

When I heard 'that you were the father of 15 little children, and that you are in tbe sear and yellow leaf, I said to myself, a man with that many little mouths to feed at the age of 80 shall have the first crack at mv stock. And so if you will send the face value as soon as possible. I will say bong jaw messue. Yours truly.

How pleasant it Is for sisters to dwell together in unity and beloved by mankind. You must indeed have a good time standing in the window day after day. pulling your long hair through your lingers with pride. When I first saw you all thus engaged, tor the benefit of the publio, I thought it was a candy pull. I now write to say that the hair promoter which vou sold me at that time is not up to its work.

It was a year ago that I bought it, and I think tbat iu a year somethlns ought to show. It is a great nuisance for a public man. who is liable to come borne late at night to have to top dress his head before he can retire. Your directions involve great care and trouble to a man in my position, and still I have tried faithfully to follow them. What is the result? Nothing but disappointment.and not so very much of tbat.

You said, if you remember, that your latner was a naiu neauea clergyman, out one day with a wild shriek of "Eureka," he discovered this hair encourager and the rest of his life filled his high hat with hair every time lie put it on. Vou said tbat at first a fine growth of down, like the inside of a mouse's ear would be seen, alter that the blade, then the stalk and the full corn in the ear. in a pig's ear, 1 am now led to believe. Fair but false seven haired sisters, I now bid you adieu. You have lost in me, a good, warm, true hearted and powerful friend.

It also causes tbat tired feeling. Here at this po nt our ways will diverge. The roads fork at this place. I shall goon upward and onward hairless and caepy, also careless and happy to my goal in life. I do not know whether each or either of you have provided yourselves with goals or not, but if not iyou wtil do well now to select tome.

The world may smile upon vou and eold pour into your coffers, but the day will come when you will yearn to wraD tbe drapery of your hair about you and lie down to pleasant dreams. Then will arise the thought alas! Then You'll Me. I now close this letter, leaving you to the keen pangs of remorse and the cruel jabs of unavailing rezret.

Mr. Helper is the nephew of the author of the' "Impending Crisis," Hinton Rowan Helper, and for the past 15 years has taken up the work of his illustrious uncle in making known to the world the resources, advantages and possibility of his native land. In response to the first interrogation by the representative of Thk Globe, as to the growth of the South, Mr. Helper replied witli a smile of satisfaction: "Do you ever look back, retrospect in the calender of time, and compare the material and vital forces at work moulding and shaping the aestiny of our great country?
