The appointment of a successor to the suspended officer must be with the ad. vice and consent of the senate, as it ghonld be, under the constitution, with. out regard to these acts; but a failure to confirm does not restore the suspended officer.

In years past Cape May has, justly or unjustly, borne the reputation of being somewhat in advance of the age in the matter of bathing saits for the Indies A careful and conscientious inspection of the shore shows that this year, at any rate, there is no foundation for any such charge against the modesty of the Cape May ladies, perhaps becanse they are of a style that needs no adventious seiting off in the way of excessive abbreviation of attire. A man looking for informa- tion on this subject io-day watched the rise and fall of the bathers in the invit. ing billows, A bit of wreckage floated ashore near him.

It didn’t look frightend, ree the man ventured toin- troduce himself as a meek and lowly seeker after knowledge, “Aro-that is, do they wear—I mean well -are bathing suite shorter than usual this year?” Sparkling teeth illaminated the reply: “Why, 1don’t know ; I think there have been enough to go around so far,” Des, ion-nerved, the man tried again, “You didn’t understand ; I meant to ask, that is, 1 wanted to know, you know, if, | mean whether, that is, if it is true, if the ladies’ skirts are shorter than usual this season 7” A little, neatlyslippered foot stole from under the red-braiden edge of a skirt.

It is perhaps not gonerally known that a large ruby is of more value than a large diamond. Mr. Streeter, who wrote a book about jewels, states thal “the ruby ranks for price and beauty, above all other stones. When a perfect raby of five carats is brought into the market a sum will be offered for it ten times the price given for a diamond the weight of ten carats it is almost in. valuable.” With respect to the romance of precious stones, the author just quoted tells a ourions story about sap- phises.
