The jewels were stolen from & trunk and thry were not missed until the Claytons bad returned to England, after a tour around the world. They then had no means of knowiDg where the jeeels bad been stolen. About a month ago a Hindoo servant, who Vtn/3 V\Af>r? 4 r? f Yia(? ?!/**? f ttAii. n?u uotu iu ui uu ciu|nu> uiuiL'K uucu trip, was fatally injured by an ele phant In India and on his deathbed confessed tbat he stole the jewels while in St. Louis. Fie said that he became alarmed and fearing detection had dropped them into a hole in the wall of the manufacturers' bulldiDg. Later he again wished to seoure the gems, but on returning, to the place where he had secreted them could lot. reach the bottom of the spaoe between the plaster and the side Df the building. Fearing to awaken any irqulrlcs or ask assistance, the Hindoo departed from St. Louis, leaving the Jews In their hiding place.

An anecdote which was current of Ferdinand 1. of Austriu at out time I greatly delighted his subjects and gave rise to a common saying. One summer day he was buntiug in the Syrian mountains and was overtaken by a violent thunderstorm. lie sought refuge in a farmhouse whose occupants were just then at dinner, and his fancy was caught by some smoking dumplings made of coarse flour, lie tasted them, liked them and asked for more, and when he got to Vienna, to the horror of the royal cooks, he ordered the same dumplings to be eerved up dully. The courtiers were scandulized that such a course dish should tlgure. on the menu, and even his pbysiciuus remonstrated against the use of such food. The emperor had always been the most pliant of men, but he uow showed that he had a will of his own and pejristed In gratifying his new fancy. Ff> 7lly the physicians pretended that it was dangerous to his health to be living on dumplings and Insisted on his giving thorn up. The hitherto docile sovereign stamped his foot and declared that he would never sign another olllolal document if his diet were denied him. "Emperor I am." he shouted, "and dumplings I will have!" To prevent a stoppage of the government machinery opposition was withdrawn, and his majesty clung tenaciously to Ids dumplings. Then the Imperial phrase became proverbial, and thereafter when any ouo Insisted on | gratifying a silly whim some one was ' sure .to any: T"V V-Peror * nm? autl dumplings I will jtwiT/.r RELATING TO IRON.

The Egyptians Imputed to Hephaeetns tho same honor, while Pliny mentions it having been discovered by Dactyles on Mount Ida after the forests on the mountain side had been destroyed by lightning. This was about 1,4.*12 years B. C. Jeremiah and Ezekiol both mention Iron In their Scrip iiii ni wriuugs, me inner speciniij idhutlonlng two qualities of the metal aud calling one bright Iron, which wai probably steel. Moses mentions an Iron furnace, and Job speaks of it as being taken out of the earth. Thousands of years before the opening of the Christian era the Egyptians used iron In making sickles, knives and such things. Sparta tlrst used Iron for money. Britain also used It as a medium of barter and exchange prior to the conquest by the Romans. The Britons before the time of Christ used to export Iron to Gaul, and after the Roman conquest the conquerors established extensive smelting works, which existed at least as late as the Baxon conquest.?St. James' Gazette.

The English and American contingent arose and started toward the dining saloon.

MODES ?DR MEN. laart aad CaafoHakle latta Far Hat Dara, For the hot days a special style of suit has been designed, which, although termed the "outing suit** Is being generally adopted as proper for the heated term, wlrether It be spent at the seaside, in the mountains or In town. Tlds suit Is designed for negligee wear and consists of coat aud trousers, the wutstcoat having been eliminated, as the suit Is designed for wear with the soft bosomed negligee shirt. Those garments are built for comfort, but there Is a grace of outline aud a beauty of tlnish about them which is pleasing to the eye and comforting to the mind. The suits for 11)06 are roomy garments, the coat hanging from broad, well FliAiTXEIi OUTTNO COSTUMlCa. shaped shoulders and the trousers being broad in the legs und shaped for I 0/\ in f oof rl 'Vi 11 /i/\n ia (l on aI(1i,\h < mil ?? <\m tuuiivj u v v? in (uu uiuiui i|uai IUI lined or skeleton finished, thus making them ns light as possible. Either single or double breasted styles may be selected. The trousers are finished with belt loops and are turned up ut the bottom. The outing suit may bo obtnlned In a great variety of materials, such as tropical worsteds In plain and mixed effects, blue and gray serges, light weight flannel casslmeres and lioinespuuH and Imported flaunels. The latter is u pleasing material and is shown In a number of effective patterns such as stripes and overplalds. A flannel outing suit Is very pleasing to wear and gives good service. The real outing suit, tho one which Is worn on the golf links and tennis court. Is a very negligee costume Indeed, and It Is designed for comfort, with style a secondary consideration. A bluo serge coat of either single or double breasted pattern and trousers of white flannel ure the principal garments. A negligee shirt worn either with a stock or a fancy colored hand kerCiller tied loosely about the ueclt, white canvas shoes and a white duck tennis hat completes the costume which Is affected by the young man who goes lu for outdoor athletics with the Idea of thorough enjoyment. As an additional precaution against cold when not lu action, a knitted Jacket which has replaced the. sweater Is worn. This Jacket Is put on like a waistcoat and fits snugly to the llgure. It Is made of highly colored material, reds, greens, blues and grays being the colors mostly worn. At the seaside the outing dress chiefly follows the style set by the yachtsman. Duck trousers with wide turn up bottoms, canvas shoes, double breasted blue serge reefer and yachting cap make up the costume. Hint For tlie Home Dresnma.lcer. Tho home dressmaker often has much trouble In tlttlng herself. A good Idea Is to buy one and 9ne-half yards of strong lining nud cut out a perfectly fitting bpdlce pattern to come five or six Inches below tho waist line. Bono and stitch It as If for an ordinary dress. Instead of hooks and eyes, sew together down the front, thou stuff the lining firmly with sawdust, shaping It as you proceed. Sew a strong lining across the bottom so as to stand on a table; add u stock collar ut neck, with a piece of lining across the top. This model Is most useful for draping and trimming summer blouses, also for fitting collars and yokes. Lh Trend. Utmost Importance attaches to the small belongings of dress tills season, and the accessories nortraved In the cut show some of fashion's latest vagaries. The girdle Is one of the new lingerie affairs developed In soft slftc which Is shirred over a pointed foundation of wire and bound with strips of rlbbou. This particular style Is much used with BOMB DAIFTT AOCTKHBORIBB. separate skirts to gain the popular princess effect, and In cutting and fitting requires the skill of an artist, for ttfs a work of art. Girdles of tucka and embroidery are unusually smart, the tucks being used to fill In the center. With embroidery for the border, bot there is really no limit to the materials and trimmings combined in the true up to date girdle. The collar shown ts extremely simple and entirely within the scope of the home artist It is a band of silk, with pointed ends buttoning over a tucked strip, which Is finished with a Jabot of lace. submarine'reefsT* " l%*7 At* LacatrA kr th?
