Elevated RaI!road scenes in New York.

Elevated kailrOaO scenes In new 1Orks
Two elevated railroads are now in
running order in New York-one on the
east side and the other on the west side
of the city. The former was the last
one finished and World reporter took
a ride the first day, recording his iul-
presaions. The newspaper man says:
While the reporter was examining the
cars with q critical eye the train was
already on its way through the narrow
down town streets. Through Pearl street
it ran, making a deafening clatter with
the rattle of the road itself, the grinding
of the wheels and the reverberations

tention to the engine and the cars and
the horses stood quietly in front of their
trucks and carts, without drivers near,
and munched their fodder. In Third
avenue the horses of the surface cars
and of wagons logged along, people
looked into shop windows and not into
the sky, and the only difference was that
the train, having more room en- each
side, did not make SO much noise. By
this time, after one or two stops, the two

Fashion Notes.

Fur flowers have been fabricated for
the winter.
Garnet beads are to be used by the
milliners this year.
A new stuff for vests has raised stripes
that look as if braided.
Old fashioned claret and garnet color
will be much worn this winter.
Belted dresses will probably continue
fashionable through the winter.
Large square belt buckles come in
engraved silver, pearl, jet and steel.
Ohuddah cloths almost exactly like
Chuddah shawls are imported for win
ter.
Silk and wool goods, in fine stripes of
bright colors, are prepared for the win
ter trade.
Felt bonnets embroidered with gold
are announced as awful possibilities Of
the future.
The silk fabrics with tufted stripes
and figures are to be initiated in wool
for winter wear.
It is said that the old style moire
antique silk will be more used for trim
ming hats and bonnets.
Wells of dotted black net, lined with
white illusion, are worn this autumn.
They are very deceptive.
White India muslin over silk is fash
ionable still. The silk dress is trimmed
with frayed ruche; the muslin with
lace.
The new fall dress goods are Of bright
colors curiously blended. Olive, pale
blue, garnet and yellow are seen in one
fabric.
Shoodas, caravan cloth, and fulled
cashmere are the varieties of India cash
mere that are shown for the coming
season.
Gay colored belts are worn with all
costumes, but especially with black.
Ladies who have a taste for embroider-
ing work their own belts; others wear
the gaily woven ribbons in the Oriental
designs SO much in vogue.

Wanted Patent for Chalk. Mark.

The Washington correspondent OF the
Hartford Times writes: Several days
ago an application reached the paten.
Office from J.. J. Strong and Kate NJ.
Strong, Of Talladego, Ala, for patent
for an ant guard. The petition, which
was very funny one, set forth that the
Strongs, who are man and wife, had
jointly put their heads together and had
invented the most wonderful thing ever
heard Of, to wit, an sant guard, which
they went on describe at great length.
They claimed that it was patentabIe, as it
was new and useful, two things that are
necessary TO secure a patent. The guard
consisted of drawing chalk-mark
around table or other place, by which
it was claimed the approach of ants was
stopped. Mr.. Strong says, and Mrs.
Strong swears it is true, that an ant
cannot walk over chalk-line, and all
that is necessary to keep ants away from
anything is to draw q chalk. line around
it. 1t appears that chalk makes an ants
legs slip up, as soaping track prevents
a railroad engine from starting. The
petition was novel, and caused consider
able fun. At last the commissioner of
patents looked over the pzecedents and
directed his law clerk to write decision
refusing the application on the ground
that there was nothing new in the in
yention claimed, that chalk had been
used for such purposes heretofore, and
winding no with the general statement
that such ideas are not patentable. This
decision was sent to the Strong family

Consumption Of Timber.

In pleading for the protection and
perpetuation of forests, The Lumber
mans Gazette gives some interesting
particulars Of the amount Of timber con-
sumed every year in this country. 1--WE
have now, = it says. "about SO, 600 miles
Of railroad; the annual consumption for
ties or sleepers alone is 40, 600, 900, or
thirty years growth Of rs, 900 acres. To
fence these roads would require at least
$50, COO miles Of fence, which would cost
SAG, ,000, 900 to build, and take at least
$15, ,000, 900 annually to keep in repair.
We have 75, 600 miles of wire, which re-
quires in its putting up SOC, 900 trees,
while the annual repairs must take
300, 900 more. The little, insignificant
lucifer match consumes annually in its
manufacture 300, 600 cubic feet Of the
finest pine. The bricks that are annu-
ally baked require 2, 200, 600 cords of
wood, which would sweep the timber
clean from so, 600 acres. Shoe-pegs are
quite as important an article as matches
or bricks, and to make the required an
nual supply consumes 100, 900 cords Of
fine timber, while the manufacture of
lasts and boot-trees make 500, 600 cords
OF marble, beech and birch, and about
tho-same amount is required for plane
stocks and the handles of tools. The
packing boxes made in the United
States in 1874 amounted to $12, 900, 600,
while the timber manufactured into ag-
ricultnral implements, wagons, etc, is
more than 800, 600. 900. The farm and
rural fences of the country consume an

kCreeds live and die faith follows faith,
Deeds prove but mockeries Of the will |;
And dreams that were to-moroy's are

The morrow brings the morrow's Hight

world, turns over some 5000, 600
francs, publishes book day, employs
5000 persons, and exports yearly 200,

When Admiral Hay landed in Cyprus
he sent fifty marines on to Larnaca, the
capital of the island, and as the weather
was extremely hot, gave them mules to
ride on, thus organizing veritable
corps of horse, or rather mule, marines.
The mules suffered from the heat as
much as their riders, and after brief
kick their unskillful riders eff. There
was sudden and unanimous elevation
of heels, and fifty marines lay prostrate
in the dust. This was comical enough,
but the story has a serious end. The
mules ran away, and ten of the marines,
compelled to walk, were sunstruck.
The journal des DebGts recently has
given statistics respecting the number
of horses possessed by different coun-
tries. Throughout the whole Of the
Turkish dominions there are estimated
to be only 100000 horses, while the
Russian provinces are credited with the
possession of no fewer than 21, SIC, 900.
Austro- Hungary has about $500, 600,
and Germany 9, ,352, 900. France, which
had considerably more than 3,000,-

than that humber, and England stands
only fourth on the list, with 2,255, 600.

Nor UNLESS HE'S PAID FOR IT.-The
Clergyman at Il church near one of our
popular Summer resorts, who used TO
have strangers within his gates"at near

"A native of the place who had not enjoyed
the best reputation. and was pluming
himself upon having saved ''another
brand" ETC., when the man suddenly
ceased his attendance.
Meeting him a few week. after, the
minister hailed him with 'Ah Thomas, I
haven't seen you at church for a fort
night"
no" said Thomas, "the people /
drove for, have gone home."
"The people you drove fort"
"Yes, sir, You see I was hired to
drive 'em over here from the hotel 0wo
miles away every Sunday, and now they
are gone, I've lost my job"

an illustrious stranger in the shape of q
large tree frog of brillian: emerald green
color with white spots,E which was found
in the interior of lump of coal at Messrs.
Galbralth q Co.'S yard yesterday. The
coal was part ofs cargo from Newcastle,
and the lump in question, failing to the
ground, split, and discovered the reptile
whic must have been concealed within
it for hundreds of years. The body is
between three and four inches in length,
and the creature when shown to us was
still alive, though apparently very slug
gish, as might be expected after such n
Rip Van Wrinkle Sleep as he must have
had.
