artistic pendants attached to them the pendants giving the finishing touch to the toilet Cor tainly some of the pendants attached ic those chains are works of art Borne are Egyptian in the red blno

present moment all the rage in Paris It iB creating a perfect fnrore and ovorybody who pretends to bti any body 1b wearing jewelry in this vert or coloring Then again another fad which will be very popular is that of weuring old coins attached to long and short chains The rarer the older and odder these coins the smarter they am The chain is made of gold or silver in large or email links according to fancy It encircles the neck and pend ent from it is an old coin or talisman whichever the wearer may chance to be tho possessor of It is a good luck chain Therefore a talisman or Incky

considerably easier A wood should be used that will bar wonize well with the piano using the same kind of wood when that is possi ble Even common wood could be made to suffice if tastefully colored with one of the stains now so easily attainable In constructing careful attention must be given to the height of the seat as there is no arrangement provided for the raising or lowering of It as In the ordinary piano stool says The La lies World which is the source of the design A Royal Road to Sleep A well known New York physician who suffered from Insomnia for many years has found out a brand new method whereby sleep can be Instantly obtained According to The Herald the doctor has tried it on himself and on his patients and has never known it to fail It Is essentially self asphyxia tion and yet there Is no possibility of danger A long breath Is first taken and the air 1b kept in until positive discomfort is felt when it is slowly exhaled This Is repeated a second and a third time and in a minute or so the patient will he asleep The theory of sleep that finds the widest acceptance Is that sleep Is oc casioned by the exhaustion of the nu trition or the brain due to Its func tional activity when awake During sleep there Is n low of nutrition to the brain consequently nn Increase of blood to supply Its deficiencies Ry holding the brent h the bend and brain become Intensely

personally responsible for the peo ple they carry on their trains The road Is divided Into sections of one verst or live eighths of a mile In a nent little log house usually In n gar den live the guard and his people Tho average family Is a wife and five tow headed children The houses were built by the compnny and evidently with a view to meeting the demands of increasing families The gunrd or a member of his family must patrol Ills section night and day lie steps to the side of the track ns the train ap proaches and after It hns passed steps back Into the middle of the track holds a small green flag In the air at night a lantern and stands like a statue until the train has entered the next section Several guards do duty In the heavy curves and frequently they are only a few hundred feet apart Much of the track patrolling is done by women who have proved fully ns reliable as the men The women nre nearly always barefooted and as they stand on the track holding the flag aloft a

reference to ones destiny To learn tbe message oX the finger nails it was necessary to rub them over with a compound of wax and soot and then to hold them so that the sunlight fell fully on them Then on the horny transparent substance certain signs and characters were sup posed to appear from which the future could be Interpreted Persons too having certain kinds of nails were cred ited with the possession of certain characteristics Thus a man with red and spotted nails was supposed to have a hot temper while pale lend col ored noils were considered to denote a melancholy temperament Narrow nails were supposed to betray ambition nnd a quarrelsome natui while round shaped nails were the distinguishing marks of lovers of knowledge and peo ple of liberal sentiment Conceited narrow minded
