as the al was turning into Clinton

face of the conductor, a tall young fell

coughed a little, inclined his head to-

The conductor rang up a fare on the
register for her. Then he retired to the

window, and talked with her.
The driver turned around as the
handsome girl got on, and looked athe,

significantly toward the rear platform

Steel the Coming Metal.

Eyes, sir! steel is having a great
BOOM" remarked Civil Engineer Ed
ward III. Dorsey to : Times reporter
who a across him the other day. 81
have been investigating the relative
merits of iron and steel for eighteen
months past, during which I've made
two trips to Europe. I'm thoroughly
satisfied that soft or mild steel is much
better than iron for all structural pur-
poses. It's safer, because it is stronger
and has fewer im~perfections and flaws
than wrought-iron. Orders for wrought
iron work will soon become a curiosity.
Up to the present time we've done little
with steel in this country, though our
iron interests are very large. In the
beginning, you see, our engineers ex-
pect too much of steel. They got it of
too great strength, which class of steel
is more OF less brittle. The result was
unsatisfactory, and a prejudice sprang
up against its use. In the last two OF
three years the open hearth process
of manufacture has improved the
quality greatly, and the price has been
brought down to one-half of what II
was three years ago. Yes, sir! wrought,
iron for structural purposes will soor
be a thing of the past."-M Z. Times

Bird. Charming Extraordinary.

There is a gentleman in Paris who
has discovered a remarkable secret, by
means of which he can make any cage
bird settle on a tree after a few minutes
of mysterious coaxing. To prove his
power over the feathered tribe, the gem
tleman in question recently drove from
one end of Paris to the other in an open
carriage, in the center of which a small
shrub was set up. Round about this
shrub some dozen canaries 1uttered and
hoped and chirped as happily as if
they were unconfned, and yet with no
more idea of making their escape than
if they had been confined in the closest
boundary of a cage. The miraculous
bird-charmer is prepared at any time
to take charge of a couple of offices in
the Bots de Boulogne, and to promise
that they shall be inhabited by birds for
any length of time, without the birds
making the slightest attempt to quit
their leafy prison. Whitehall Reuies0.

The Reoord of the Fairs.

The superiority of Wells, Richardson &
Co.'s Improved Butter Color over all 9TH
ers made, is again demonstrated by its
record at the Autumnal Fairs. The test OF
practical use is what tells the story, and
the great value of the premiums given by
the Agricultural Fairs, lies in the fact,
that the judges in these cases are regular
farmers, who know what their needs are
and what will supply them. Wells, Rich
ardson & Co.'s Improved Butter Color,
which has taken first premium at all fairs
where exhibited, is put up in a vegetable
oil so prepared that it can not become ram

The CornIce.

The famous Cornice really begins at
Marseilles, behind the harbor and the
ports, the 'Chemin de Cornice' being
the favorite drive of the Marseilles citi-
zens of a Sunday. Truly no city in the
world-Constantinople, Naples, or Pal
ermo not excepted-can boast of a
more grandly beautiful promenade.
Rocks to the left, mountains in the
middle distance, rocky islands crowned
with castles to seaward on tho right,
with a succession of sheltered bays and
rugged promontories, each turn dis
closing some new and enchanting su r
prise, while the country houses clingto

beneath is the limpid sea. 1t is a de
lightful drive for one in q way; it is an
odd medley of suburbs with what
should be savage solitudes; and the
picturesque strip of coast has been
| coqrettishly Cockneyfied. From under
the dusty bare trellising of a drinking
booth you look out on the barren
mountains and the broad expanse of
the sea; while a creek that might con.
tain rock baths and a firing ave for
the sea nymphs or the sirens has been

least along the winding lodges of the
Cornice, and as many more along the
broad Boulevard of the Prado, which
leads inland at right angles and back
again to b town, was n dense mass
of closely packed vehicles and human
beings. Specimens of all ranks were
to be see or wheels, from the
wives and daughters of wealthy mer-
chants, in their well-appointed equip

crowded carts of costermongers, char
coal vendors and fishermen. There
vas every style of costume, from
Partisan toilets to the glaring cottons
and the turbans of Barcelona handker-
chiefs, knotted c~arelessly round shaggy

Latte prince Of ORANGE appea,

The late prince of Orange appears
to have been a remarkable gentleman.
He lived alone entirely surrounded with
pets belonging to the lower animal Gre
alton. He had no less than sixty par
rots. 1t was the Earl of Derwentwater,
we believe, who used to have fifteen or
twenty dogs sit down to dinner beside
him every day. Each dog had its plate,
its napkin and its turnkey. But sixty
parrots! What an ear for music his
illustrious highness must have had. He
would have felt at home on the stock
exchange at panic time, or at a Chicago
convention, and vel Congress would
have had no terrors for him. A concert
composed of vocalists chosen from the
most eminent local cats, would have
been to him a most soothing lullaby.
Sixty independents diacussing regular
nominations over their tea, would have
put him to sleep. But sixty parrots all
screeching and jabbering at once! He
must be glad that he is dead.-M. r
