The Bridge u Failure.

a letter from Brooklyn, says: The
Brooklyn bridge is failure, and the
people of New York and Brooklyn re-
cognize it as such. Of course it is a
grand piece of engineering-it is simply
magnificent by day and night, but it
doesn't fill the wants of the people.
Between $50 and A. n, and the
same hours at night, thousands of the
poorer people use the bridge in coming
from Brooklyn to their work and re-
turning home again, but the vast mass
of the people cross by ferry. 1t is no
fault of the bridge that people do not
use it, but on anything save pleasant
calm day the elements make walk
over the structure very unpleasant if
not really hazardous. A slight breeze
on earth means hurricane on the
bridge. During blow ON Sunday a
woman crossing had very narrow es-
cape from serious injury. The wind
caught her clothes and sent her whirl-
ing almost over the fence dividing the
promenade from the cable-car tracks.
And this is merely one of hundreds OF
similar incidents reported. To he sure
there are cable-cars running on the
bridge, but they are few in number and
mighty uncertain in their time of go.
ing. So. all things considered, "a person
going to Brooklyn from the New York
city hall can make time by cutting
down Fulton street and taking the old
ferryboats. There is but one thing tC
do. Quit fooling with the impractica-
bic cable cars, running by friction
wheels on elevated cableS-and run
trains of four to ten cars Ovor the bridge
by the small, almost noiseless locomO
tiyes. and make the fare cents.
While discussing rapid transit, the
elevated roads show queer state OF
affairs. When first opened to the pub
lie the elevated roads were popular be-
cause of their novelty, and the news
papers began to yell ''Tne horse-cars
must CO." Well, they did and do, and
are liable to continue going, though
not in the sense the newspapers meant
The elevated roads at first struck 9
severe blow at the surface roads, and
frightened the small stockholders of the
latter class into giving up their hold
ings, which were promptly gObbled by
the big fish, and they in turn bought
heavily of elevated stock, so that to
day both systems of roads are virtually
owned by the same men, and whatevel
they may lose out of their left hant
they grab back with their right. On'
thing accomplished by the elevated
roads is the forcing of the surface com

| Quiet color is most effective. Bril-
liant colors at once attract the eve. but
soon exhaust it. Quiet colors need not
necessarily be dark; gray is quiet but
also light An artist declares that
what Is known as white should all be
made over to babies. The usual white
muslin, organdie, victoria lawn, nain-
sook and their kind are not for women.
Such whites are too cold in shadow and
In sunshine too glaring. The only
whites that should be Worn are the
cream-whites. The dresses of the
time of Titan, Rubens and Vandyck
own their distinction to the way in
which they display the face. This dis
play was chiefly due to the ruffs, worn
not alone by women, which with special
intent surrounded the face aud made
background for it, softened by broken
lights and shadows. Women with
beautiful necks do not require high
neck dressing, and even the stately
ruff, so far as it is introduced now,
should come down at the side and not
conceal the melting lines of cheek and
throat. Women with pointed chins
should wear the laceS of their neck well
up IN front, which tends to soften this
| line and gives breadth to the chin.
American women rarely have stately
column-shaped necks. Their necks arr
long enough but tend to sinews, and
this revival of high ruffs is being extern
slvely recognized. The taste for esthe-
tic dressing Is cropping out amid our
fashionable aSSemblages, and standing
out with vivid effect against the back
ground of modern mOdiStes' art. Dress
es of creamy and delicately tinted sa-
tin are so scanned and gored as to con-
vert a respectfully robust woman into
being long -waisted and sinuous, and
what would be called -'slithy cove"
Gowns simply made, but depending for
effect on harmonious tint and graceful
drapery, rich StuffS and low tones of
color, having charm that no one with
thoroughly cultivated taste in dress
can deny. And if the scant ''clinging
clothes are not to become popular with
all, women are at least unanimous in
their admiration of such-in pictures.
The use of flowers is Objectionable,
unless around the head and face The
numerous bouquets de cOrsage,"
WHICH, siiC lllC uClit,lllS VI tllt NOlllCu VI
the present day, are only effective in
concealing graceful contours, ana are
ready no more than an eXcreScence on
the dress. Equally Objectionable is the
use of flowers on the skirt of the dress,
with which they have no possible rela-
tion. But nothing can be prettier than
the clustering of flowers about the
neck when they garland the face like
picture, OF gleam i'll the hair, where the
tints may blend with those of the COM
pleXion. Another abOmination is the
bow. Whenever the dresSmaker is at
loss for decoration she sticks an awk-
ward bow of ribbon on the dress mater
ia, and very effectively spoils the grace
full lines and curves of the flowing
material. When the bunchy, knotty
forms of decoration are abolished the
ease and beauty of the figme will have
some chance for development.

Stained Glass.

The glass used in this work is of
many grades and qualities. Glass of
varying thickness is much used for
giving lighter or darker shades. The
glass is heated to a red heat and is then
punched by various tools, pressed by
dies, squeezed into ridges, or rolled
over an uneven surface. In this man.
ner the glass is SO prepared that the
same effects of light and shade are pro-
duced as by hand painting, and til
blending of the shades is more harmO
NOUS. In addition to the better effec
thus produced, when the light is shin
ing through the glass, the reflection
of light from the uneven surface of the
glass, when the light is shining from
within, reveals the form of the design
clearly, and yet the color varies as the
light strikes upon the raised surface
from different angles. Another new
method of treating glass, or rather a
modification of an old method, is to
paint ''fiashed' glass with acids, in
stead of etching the glass as formerly.
BY this new method the work has a
more picturesque look. A design Is
WIN Ol lllt
colored side of the glsas The color is
thus removed, and stained glass of an
other color or shade is placed behind it
to produce the proper shade or combi-
nation. The old Venetian style for the
production of ''marbled" glass is also
coming into more general use. In this
work shreds or bits of different colored
glass are placed upon the table on which
the glass to form the plate is poured
while it is in liquid form. As the glass
coOlS it Is rolled and pressed III the
usual manner to force these bits into
it. Another style much in demand
is known as "granulated" glass, and is
made in France. This glass is very
heavy, and one side is roughened, pre-
senting surface appearance like
sand-paper. When held to the light,
it resembles ground glass, but the col
ors are rich and warm. Another new
style of material is known as cracked
glass. This is made in large circular
sheets. AS these sheets cool after
moulding, they are placed upon cable
having slight depression in the Cen
tire, and the glass is pressed down into
this hollow, producing the effect of
many small seams or cracks running
through the glass in various direc-
tions.
There has never been any special
rage for one particular color or shade,
since the ''blue glass consumption
cure" fever broke out about seven
years ago. Many dealers say that they
still have a considerable demand for
blue glass from people who place great
faith in the theory that therays of light
shining through the glass are beneficial
to persons suffering from various COM
plants. The manufacturer and de-
signer, from whom the greater part of
the information here given was OBJ
tanned, sald that he had many calls for
blue glass from people who had been
advised to use it by well known ply
sicians IN this city.

courteSies to which all women attach
so much Importance, he WAS yerita-
Die Bayard. They role, walked, took
long drives, AMI availed themselves of
'arieus other amusements which a
country life affords. Insensibly they
became very confidential with each
other, but it was the frank confidence
ot frlendship-at least Mollie thought
so, and never was mortal more surpris-
ed than she when one evening, as they
sat together on the piazza, young Mr..
Gordon suddenly took her hand in his
and asked her to marry him. You
must have seen how You have grown
into my heart, Mollie," he said very
earnestly; ''and Pm sure you believe
my love one that will be true and faith
full"
But instead of receiving the answer
he had hoped for, young Gordon found
the little hand suddenly withdrawn
from his, and a pair of very snappy
brown eyes looking at him.
Il am obliged for the honor, Mr.
Gordon" she said, but you can tell
your father that wouldn't fall in with
his plans and be disposed of like a load
of hay. You can tell your father that. +"
and Miss MOllie was gone, leaving
young Mr.. Gordon alone on the piazza,
very sore at heart and very much mys-
titled.
81 am sorry that yeu and Johnnie
should have fallen out,'' said the elder
Mr.. Gordon to Mollle the following
day, ''because We are going away to-
morrow, and it seems too bad to have
anything mar the pleasure of our visit.

why. no." continued the father,
''why should I?r
''Oh, of course not" incoherently
replied Mollie, and Immediately bolted
into the house, leaving Mr.. Gordon to
enuciate coniidentially 10 himself the
proposition that ''girls were he'll when
they got started"
The next morning Mollie arose very
early, and was unusually occupied with
various household sutieS--so much 50
that it was not until the time for de-
parture arrived that young Mr.. Gordon
had a chance to speak to her. He came
into the parlor, where she WAS assidu-
Ously dusting a spotless statue
Good-by, Miss Henderson, he said
very slowly.
''G-o-o-d-b-y," WAS the reply in Il
somewhat falsetto tone, and young Mr..
Gordon noticed with surprise that Mol
lie did not even look at him. but kept
the duster going vigorously.
''ls there anything L can do for you
in the West?' he said, going close TO
her.
Moo"
Nothing at all? Is there nothing
you wanty"
''Y -e-e s.
"What is it?'
II want you!" she suddenly exclaim-
ed, and before .,oung Mr.. Gordon had
time To rc.Iect on this extraordinary de-
claration he found a very pretty young
lady Sobbing violently in his arms, and
from the hall heard his father remark
that if women didn't totally eclipse the
internal regions he had failed TO dis
cover what did.

''Sir," said the young man, resolute-
ly, "would you believe that that man
who entered your box last night pro-
posed your daughters hand to me, with
her dowry, and your fortune, tor a GER
tain sum Of money!"
1.-The old mans face became red with
anger, and the next day, accompanied
by the young provincial, he called upon
the matchmaker, each armed with a
heavy cane, and the old man was quite
disposed to open the visit by exercising
his weapon upon the impertlnent mar
riage- makers shoulders. But the latter
apologize1, begged and prayed SO
earnestly that the father, to avoid nsca-
dal, contented himself with a severe re-
monstrance. Approaching, however.

he invited him to his house and there,
without paying and without negotiation,
by the sole effect of the sympathy Of
the hearts, marriage was made, which
promises to be as happy as the most
exacting friends could wish.

n atureas q Healer.

One of the most remarkable cases on
record is attracting attention at the
Massachusetts General hospital. Bos-
ton. Two weeks ago Charles Briggs,
a well-known gentleman in the prime
of life. while driving between Millbury
and Worcester, was thrown from his
buggy, striking on his face and head
against a curbStOne. He remained
there for some time unconscious, until
picked up and taken to the Worcester
hospital, where his chances of recovery
were considered so poor that nothing
was done for him beyond what was
thought necessary to make him as COM
Portable rs possible. That evening he
was identified by an old college mate,
Il physician, and the next day he was
removed to Boston and placed in the
Massachusetts General Hospital.
Here it was found that his nose was
broken, his skull broken in two places
and his jaw-bone in four places. 1t
was not supposed that his recovery
was possible. The ablest surgeons ex-
amined him and said the chances of
his recovery were not one in ten thou
sand. For one week no attempt was
made to repair his injuries, except to
stop the hemorrhage. The accident
had driven the jaw-bone on each side
back into the skull, and at first the
broken cartilege of the nose was out of
reach, but nature gradually pushed
them back into place, though in knit
ting the jaw-bone became irregular in
shape, 50 hat it became necessary again
to break and reset it-a dreadful oper-
alton for a man in such a condition.
The doctors now say is recovery Is al
most certain. They think he will be
able to leave the hospital within three
weeks, and that his face is not likely
to be permanently disfgured.

Tea-Drinking I'm England.

Now that the English people have
done so much to stem the evil of in
temperance in the use of alcoholic
liquors, they are devoting their atten-
ton to intemperance in other things.
One of these things is tea-drinking,
concerning which there is now con-
siderable agitation in England. AT a
large meeting in London, the other
day, the Dean of Bangor spoke of the
necessity of good cooking, and arraigned
severely the pernicious practice of
drinking tea. This practice, he said,
renewed three or four times day,
made men and women feel weak, and
the result was that the tea kettle went
before the gin-bottle, and the physical
and nervous weakness which had its
origin in the bad cookery of an ignorant
wife ended in ruin, intsmperance and
disease.

THE GRAND CAVALcADE
or Live Stock and DrAught Horses-A
Striking Slight.

or Live stock and Draught Horses-A
Striking Sight,
One Of the most attractive and interesting
event, OF the annual fairs is The parade Of cat
tie, hogs, sheep and draught horses. This
event took place yesterday. The Opera
House Band headed the procession in theii
wagon. A huge bull, exhibited by Mr.
Anderson, OF Ross county, Ohio, was In the
lead OF the animals, followed by short horns
Devons, Jerseys, Herefolds, Holsteius, Nor
folk and Suffolk Red p0lled and other cattle
in herds, with occasional separate specimens
OF other breeds. Nearly all the animals wsIC
decked with ribboas, and they made gay
show. The herds OF Metsrs. LsMoyne, Van
meter and Henderson were particularly ad
mired. A boy in the process on carried d
banner presented to Nh, LeMoyne BY
Waynesburg merchants. The cattle were
rapturously applauded rs they PISSED TIE
grand stand.
Following came the draugbt horses, al
handsomely csparisOned. These animals
were displayed 10 excellent advantage, and
we're also 4pplauded rs they passed in view
before the grand stand. The black Clydes'
dale stallion OF T. P. Craig, Belmont county,
Ohio; the roam horse Of Gregg & Powell, oil
St. ClaiSVills; the stallion OF John Nance, o.
Washington county, Pa; the handsome
draught grays OF P. L. Kimberly, OF this city,
aud other scarcely less handsome horses were
in the procession, The procession reached
half way around the race course, which II
circled slowly, giving all good chance to
note the distinctive features OF different
breeds.
The caValcade will be repeated this after
noon, at which time several other animals
worth seeing will be in the parade.
