New designs in Furniture.
PHILADELPHIA Times,1

The traditional parlor set is rarely
seen nowadays. Instead are sofa and
two large arm-chairs to match, covered.
say with Persian raw silk, while the rest
Of the room is filled with odd pieces-an
S-chair an embroidered chair or two, an
Eastern divan, Moorish pouf, which is
merely four cushions piled in slender
frame, and as many fancy chairs of gilt
or ebony as may be needed. The mantel
lambrequin, the curtains and portiere
match the sofa and arm-chairs, unless
they are specimens of artistic embroid-
cry, in which case the foundation must
match the prevailing tint Of the room.
Fancy tables, with standards of gilt or
ebony, have the tops upholstered with
plush or raw silk either to match sets or
as odd pieces. These same tables, COW
cred with cretonne or mummy cloth, are
much liked for bedrooms. Indeed, Gre
tonne and mummy cloth in cretonne de-
signs play an important part in house
furnishing. A favorite idea is to furnish
bedrooms throughout with these, having
tie whole furniture-bed, chairs, dress
ing table and small table-covered with
cretonne, the curtains and mantel lam
brequin being of cretonne also, the car
pet suiting in tone, and the very paper
Of the room manufactured in the design
and color Of the cretonne selected for the
purpose. 1t is an easy matter to convert
any old chair, which is strong enough to
hold together, into an available seat by
cushioning it and furnishing it with a
cover of cretonne.
Mummy cloth in cretonne designs il
much handsomer, as we'll as more du
rable than the ordinary cretonne, mas
much as it is heavier fabric. The new
designs are in persian Patterns and II
Japanese figures, as well as in the
myriad floral designs which have alway'
been and always will be liked for cham
Der draperies. The new cretonne cur
tains are made with dado and frieze o.
some contrasting pattern, and an espe
cially pretty style has drapery tt

A TOm b, for q Day.

One Of the most thrilling adventures
in the annals of mining happened at the
Zeile Mine, near jackson, California, on
Wednesday last. At the morning shift,
Nicolaus Noce, an Italian, with num-
Der of other miners, went to work on
the two hundred and forty-foot level.
Noce, it seems, was separated from his
companions. They had been at work
but a few minutes when the premoni-
tory symptoms of a coming cave. such as
the creaking of timbers and falling of
small pieces Of rock, told them that it
was time to seek safer quarters. In
Withdrawing they were not forgetful of
Noce, shouting to him to get out OF dan
gers way. He, however, did not realize
the nature Of the trouble. The cries of
his comrades conveyed the idea that
something was wrong, and he retreated
toward the face of the tunnel. No
sooner had he got out of the way than
the crash came. ..a ,.....
One-half Of the ledge next to the hang.
ing wall came down with a laundering
sound, crushing the heavy timbers like
match-sticks, the cave involving about
thirty feet along the ledge, rearing an
effectual barrier between Noce and his
companions and liberty. 1t was not long
before the awful nature Of his situation
dawned upon Eoce. He was cut off in
the tunnel, a lone prisoner in one of the
recesses of the mine, with hundreds ot
tons Of rock and debris choking UP the
only possible outlet from his cell. From
the cave the tunnel was sixty feet il
length, which would afford air for day
or two. He was we'll provided with can
dies, having two or three with him, ant
he began to contemplate the prospect O.
having TO subsist by eating them. Mean
while Che escaped miners had communi
Gated with Superintendent Rose, ant
within fifteen minutes hundred mel
we're picking a tunnel to the rescue
About 7 o'clock in the evening an aper
ture was made, and Noce crawled out o
his "tomb for day."

"Don't waste your time clipping at

and laid his AK at the root of the tree,
like a good and dutiful boy, and then
went fishing. Truly, there Is nothing

A BRAVE LADY 1
She Endurss the Pain of . Severe Surgi- cal Operation without taking
 ChlOrOE0rm.
(Frons the Courier. )

(From the CoUrier)
 Mrs. Schoonmaker, of Creek Locks, Ulster O., N. r., had the misfortune to entirely lose the sight of one of her eyes, through an accident, and endured painful inflamma- tory action therein for two long years :- the other eye finally becoming sympathet- ically affected, her general health seriously suffering; indeed, she was Q mere wreck, a walking skeleton. In this terrible strait, she consulted Dr. David Kennedy, of Ron dout, New York, who told her st once that the injured eye must be removed. She quietly but firmly said "Al right, Doctor, but don't give me chloroform. Let my hus- band sit by my side during the operation, and will neither cry cut or stir" The work was done, and the poor woman kept her word. Talk of soldierly couragel This showed greater pluck than it takes to face hundred guns. To restore her general health Dr. Kennedy then gave the "Fa- vorite Remedy" which cleansed the blood, regulated the Kidneys, Liver and Bowels, and thus imparted new life to the long-suf- fering woman. She rapidly gained health and strength, and is now well. The "Fa- vorite Remedy" is 8 priceless blessing to woman. No family should be without it. Your druggist has 1t.
