I
From theEeW Haven Union.
Kind reader, did you ever see two wo'
men bathe? They emerge from their
bath.house looking as though they had
stolen something, and expected to see q
burly policeman bob around the corner,
clap bis hands on them, and exultingly
cry, "Now I've got you" Then they trip
along half dozen steps, not altogether
like Dundreary or a sand.piper, but some
what resembling both. Then one says,
"0h, dear!" and reaches down to pick q
pebble out OF her shoe, while the other
takes an opportunity to yell like pair OF
panthers, and then run back with all her
might to the bath-house. Her mate, oil
course, doesn't get the pebble out OF her
shoe, but gets several more in 10 keep 1t
from getting lonesome. Then the screamer
tiptoes down TO the place and says,
"What fool ] was" The other
comes down, having secured new in:
voice OF pebbles in transit, and
screams, "Whst is it?" As 1t is nothing
but DEVILS apron-string, and not q
snake, the screamer again says, what
foolw They then laugh. But they keep
their eyes about them, and each mouth Is
always ready to emit q scream. BY this
time they reach the waters edge. A
puny roller is advancing. It breaks lit
lie way out, and as the line OF foam is sent
up from the beach they turn and scamper
with all their might. Then one says,
"What a foolw And the other replies, ~
know itl" Then they take hold OF hands
determined to do or die. Another wave
makes them finch aud tremble and
scream Just little, but they keep on till
the water reaches TO what would be their
knees II they were men. New they face
each other, each holding The two hands OF
the other. Anybody who has seen the
tiremen at work on hand engine will un-
derstand the motion readily. They keep
this up for five or ten minutes, talk
ing like brace OF parrots all the time,
ill one OF them screams with all her
might and runs haH way 10 the bath
house She stops to remark that she
knows she will die, and looking down sees
the cause OF her scare-a blade OF eel.
grass tightly wound about her ankle.
Spunklng up courage again, they seek the
water once more, and again the hand
engine manenvre is repeated. Then one
OF them whispers, There's mani And
the othersays, 4 don't care one bit, and
runs with all her might to the bath.house.
Then the one who has seen the man saun-
tiers slowly after, picking up shell or two
on the way, pretending to think thereisn't
such thing as man in creation. By and
by they emerge from the bath-house, and
ostentatiously display the key, towels and
bathing dresses, chatting in the most vol.
ubIe manner. 1T was just lovely one re-
marks. And the other says she feels so
refreshed, you know"

The Dead of the Winter Palace.

On February 10, in the church of the
Military Hospital, requiem was cele-
bratei in memory of the soldiers killed
by the recent explosion in the Winter
Palace Side by side stood TIE ten
plain white collins. Towards the close
of the requiem his majesty the En-
peror arrived, accompanied by the
Czarowitch and the Grand Dukes
Vladimir and Surge. During the sing
ing Of the Eternal Memory" the Gar
fell on his knees. Then he summoned
to HIM the officers who were on duty IN
the palace on the fatal day, February
II, thanked them warmly for their
loyal fulfillmen. of their duties, and
congratulated them on their narrow
escape. Pointing TO the ten collins he
said, in bitter tone, "This reminds me
Of the last campaign" Then the Car
graciously visited the wounded soldiers,
the surviving victims of the explosion
in the palace, and spoke kindly to each
one of them. On the next day, after
mass, the burial of the ten bodies took
place The burial procession was hon
ored by the Grand Duke Constable, &C.
companied by his son, Governor General
Gourko, Prince Imertensky, General
Zourcfi, and large number of generals,
officers and soldiers This is the first
instance on record CT the bodies of pri-
vate soldiers being carried to the grave
10y officers of the highest rank. The
first coffin was borne by Prince
Souvoroff Rimniksky, Count Narontzoh-
Dashkof, two generals and two colonies.
All the cofins were decorated with
wreaths sent 10y tAe Grand Duchess
Alexandra Josephovna. The bodies OF
the ten soldiers were buried in one
grave, over which will soon be erected
monument.

Fall of a Mil.

A wall of the Dolphin jute and hemp
carpet mill in Paterson, N. j., fell re.
Gently, and disaster was narrowly
avcrted. The mill is at the foot of
Oliver street, Paterson. There are
about 500 hands employed in it. 1t
has been running since 1887. In the
rear end of the al" composing the stone
building of the original mill, an ad
ditional story of brick was erected
about ten years ago, and was used for
spinning, etc. This portion is built
along the banks of the upper raceway.
1t is supposed the water trickling from
the raceway in the course of years un-
dermined the foundation and so caused
the accident. 1t was about y o'clock,
and the hands had just got to work.
The foreman of the spinning room heard
strange sounds and felt the building
shake. He went to the superintendent
and asked him to come to the spinning
room, saying that he feared something
was about to happen The superintend-
ent, Mr.. Cheyne, ran to the spot and
found the building settling.
run for your lives p he cried.
One girl, little slower than the rest,
was pulled away from the frame at
which she worked by her companions.
"Shut down the water, wheel" said
Mr. Cheyne, "while I stop the engine"
The water wheel was stopped and the
engine was hardly shut down before
there was crash that made the ground
tremble like an earthquake, and the
whole end of the building went down
into pile of stone, brick and mortar
taking about twelve feet of the second
floor with it. One spinning frame went
down with the ruins and was wrecked
had been pulled away by her comrades.
Had she remained there she would have
lost her life. But for the warning,
fifteen or twenty operatives, mostly
women, must have lost their lives. The
wrecked end of the building was about
forty feet wide, two stories in height.
The lower floor was used as store
room and there happened to be no one
III it at the time.
The mill had to be stopped for the
day in consequence of the accident
