Tamboured embroidery on muslin or
ON netlis the novelty for summer cur
tains, says Haaper's Bagdr. For simple
sash curtains the sprigged or dotted
patterns or those with large rings or
daisies wroug Int in them are. used with
out borders, while for the flowing cur
tains there is vine or striped border
and scalloped edges down the inner
sides and across the bottom. The square
meshed canvas or grenadine curtains are
seen in many of the handsomest resi-
denees for both curtains those fixed in
shape next the sash and for the flowing
curtains behind it. The trimming for
these is insertion and lace; either Clnny
or the antique lace is preferred, and
sometimes the SNOWY Russian lace is
used. The scrim curtains have very
much the same effect as grenadine cur
taias, and are much less expensive.
CeloTed embroidery in artistic designs
has been added TO these white curtains,
forming sometimes dado or else
border on two sides, and occasionally
there are small figures wrought all over
the curtain. For those who like more
color the Madras muslins are commend
ed, with their gold. olive or robins egg
blue grounds, strewn with flowers of
gay colors. These come in beautifully
blended eoloIs that give almost the eff

made of cotton, has taken the place of

rings to which the curtains are attached,
are used for curtains of all kinds, wheth-

sly to the hem at the top of the curtain,
or else they are attached by little
clamps that have been made for this
purpose. In the place of lambrequins,
there. are sometimes valanees, or the
Queen Anne cap, made of straight

A Story With a Moral.

!. Sometimes a short story win contain
more meaning than long sermon. Il
all depends on what the story is about
Here, for instance, is a brief story, bus
the moral is healthy:
A goat, which was noted for its com
bativeness, was walking on a pond last
winter in neighboring town, when he
came to hole in the ice made by some
fishermen, and espied his face in the
water. Thinking that he saw one of hi.
fellows, he concluded that this was ar
opportunity not to be lost, and at once,
prepared for his usual attack. Draw.
ing back. a few feet, he lowered his
head, shook his eandal appendagc
systematically. and at u tremendous
pace rushed upon his shadow. But the
old fellow. went into the hole out of sigh.
under the ice in 4 twinkiing, nor has he
since been seen.

l .IInerneeted Criticism.

One of the most eloquent and popular
clergymen of Austin. Texas, says Har-
per's Magazine, being about to ascend
the steps leading to his church a few
Sundays ago, was asked by partially
blind old lady. who did not recognize
him, to help her up the steps. With his
usual urbanity he complied with her re-
quest. just as they reached the top
steps she asked him who was going to
preach.

ing his own name.

At first the clergyman was inclined to
refuse, but. on reflection, he gently as
sisted her down the steps again, remark

NATURES WORK.

Friday night Moline and vicinity were
visited by the most terrific wind and rain
storm that has made its appearance for
years. About half past eight when the
storm was at lis height, Melines $4,000
bridge was blown over into the Rock river,
and is complete wreck. Yesterday. af-
ternoon an AReus representative visited
the scene of damage and disaster He
was met at the toll gate by bridge tender
Oakley, who looked as thoughEhes had lost
a dear friend. He conducted the
ARGUS scribe out onto the bridge
which lay in a connected condition
on the water, complete and total wreck
About forty feet of the first span remained
standing. The bridge was blown off the
piers by the wind, which must have been
blowing with a terrible force. Had the
bridge been anchored to the piers tlis
would not have happened. Itwas strange
sight to see large fine bridge lying in d
smashed condition upon the river.
The Moline & Narrow Gauge railway
had track across the bridge, and the
damage to them will be great, as they can
not run any more cars until The bridge is
rebuilt. which win not be for some time.
4 huge elm tree standing near the bridge
was blown down and the trunk split to-
pieces.
The Rock river bridge was formerly
owned by stock company composed of
III oline parties, but in 1876 it was sold TO
the CITY of Moline, and they employed the
Clinton Bridge company TO rebuild it at q
cost of $4,000. The job was completed
In 1875, and it was thought that bridge
was solid. But the storm of Friday night
showed that it was not, and the bridge
that cost Moline 81 500 is q. total wreck.
