A Telephone Trick.

To barrister's clerk in Birmingham,
England, belongs the credit of showing
how fraudulent ingenuity adapts itself
to new conditions, and the robbery of his
master through the telephone, for which
he is now wanted" was very clever
piece of criminal work. He connected
the telephone with friend of his en-
ployer, successfully initiated the voice of
his master, and asked for the loan of
some money, adding that the clerk would
be sent to fetch it. Then, by forging e
telegram to call the barrister into the
country, he gained plenty of time to put
long distances between the three parties
concerned, and insured postponement
of the discovery of the fraud.

Caught BY an Avalanche.

Two miners John Olsen and Peter
Anderson-report fearful ride dowr
Keeler's Peak, in Utah, on an avalanche.
They were swept from the trail by s
straight snow slide and down until they
thought it was the end, and lost con
sciousness.
Olsen gives graphic account of hii
terrible experiences. "We were going
along the path together" said he, when
we heard above us, on the mountain, 8
sound as if a big storm were raging.
There was an awful roar, and the trees
were swaying as if bent by the wind.
The sound approached us suddenly, and
then huge white mound lowered above
us, and the next instant all was darkness
to me. 1t flashed through my mind that
l was caught in snow slide. l tried to
put out my arms, but they were pressed
to my side and could move them but
little. ! could feel the snow with my
hands. l could feel no movement,
though at that moment, l suppose, was
going down the mountain side with
frightful rapidity. At first l experienced
no difficulty in breathing, but soon l felt
horrible sense of sutfocation. tried
to struggle upward, but could not. The
air about me seemed to become less and
less, and lost consciousness. I was
awakened by shock. opened my eyes
and found myself hanging across the
branch of a tree, wedged in tightly be-
tween it and the trunk. For few mo-
ments l could make no exertion, but fin
ally managed to draw myself upward
into sitting posture. l looked down
ward, and the surface of the snow seemed
to be about seventy feet beneath me.
felt faint, and my hold on the limb grad
ually relaxed in spite of all my efforts.
Finally I became dizzy and fell, as
thought, to death. dropped only about
six feet and landed in the soft snow.
suppose the shock had somehow affected
my sight. crawled downward to the
foot of the snowslide and there found
Anderson, half insensib!e from being
thrown against rock. Hesoon revived,
however, and we came away together

WINTER ON EARTH, BUT JUNE IN
THE sky.

Slow through the light and silent air,
Up climbs the smoke on its spiral stair
The visible fight Of some mortaIs prayer;
The trees are in bloom with the flowers Of
frost,
But never feathery leaf is lost;
The spring, descending, is caught and bound
Ere its silver feet can touch the ground
So still is the air that lies, this morn,
Over the snow-cold fields forlorn,
'Iis as though Italy's heaven smiled
in the face Of some bleak Norwegian wild;
And the heart in me sings-I know not why
It's Winter on earth, but June in the skyl
June in the sky Ah, now can see
The souls of roses about to be,
In gardens of heaven beckoning me,
Roses red-lipped, and roses pale,
Famed by the trenulous ether gale;
Some of them climbing winlow.ledge,
Some of them peering from way-side hedge,
As yonder, adrift on the asry stream,
Love drives his plumed and filleted team;
The Angel Of Summer aloft see,
And the souls of roses about to bel
And the heart in me sings--the heart knows
why
Tis Winter on earth, but June in the skyl

FASHION NOTES

Circle cloaks of every description re-
main in high favor.
Buttoned and Mousquetaire Suede
gloves are equally fashionable.
The evening cloak par excellence is of
cashmere lined with plush, and having
a Grape hood trimmed with lace.
Pretty Partisan capotes are made of
velvet applique on colored lace, with
bunch of velvet flowers on one side.
The small muff of velvet, lace, plush,
fur, and even cloth matching the capote
in shade and material, is the latest fancy.
For street wear come OF the Partisan
milliners have brought out exquisite little
Fauchon-like bonnets Of gray Swedish
kid.
Neglige caps are pointed in front. One
is made of gold lace and trimmed with
pink velvet ribbon; another of silver lace
has bows of pale blue ribbon.
Gloves thirty one inches long in NOUS
4uetaire shape, without a single button,
are made of reddish tan Suede Gather, to
be worn with any evening dress, either
white, black or colored.
A new style muff is composed of rows
of falling chenille, either in black, brown
or any dark color, with loops of gold or
silver braid sewn on at distances beneath
the falling fringe, but showing between.
One of the new brocades has ground
of pale buff satin, covered with an
irregular lace-like pattern of lavender
pink, with bouquets of flowers in
petunia and light blue tints and foliage
of faded green.
Diamonds are now mounted to repre-
sent various flowers, which can be worn
either as bouquets on the bodice and in
the hair, or can be detached as single
blooms when required. A necklace Of
pansies in diamonds is very handsome.
Plastrons of beaded lace, especially Of
what is called white jet, with sleeves Of
the same, are worn with white dresses Of
satin or brocaded velvet. A full frill Of
three or four rows Of lace is around the
neck, and bow of velvet or a small
bunch of flowers fastens this on the side.
The smallest screw earrings are now al
most the only kind admissible with street
dresses. These may be made of rubies,
pearls, turquoises, cat t's-eyes or flint dia-
monds set in natural gold of the bright
est yellow, or held by claws of platina
that are strong though too small to be
conspicuous,
Young ladies now wear one, two or
three strings of pearls. fastened in front
by dainty little colored velvet bow;
also band of velvet or cream-colored
lace, with pompon as fastening, worn
toward the left ear. Some velvet bands
are edged on each side with string of
small pearls, and others have tiny pearls
dotted over them.

Remember in all things that if you do
not begin you will never come to an end.
The first weed pulled up in the garden,
the first seed in the ground, the first
dollar put in the savings-banll, and the
first mile travelled on journey arc all
important things; they make a begin
ming, and hold out hope, a promise, a
pledge, an assurance that you are in
earnest in what you have undertaken.
How many q poor, idle, hesitating out
cast is now creeping and crawling on his
way through the world who might have
held up his head and prospered il, instead
of putting off his resolution of industry
and amendment, he had only made be-
ginning.

Of the scenery of the Borromean
islands, or the blended softness and
grandeur of the charming banks, the in
tense blue of the lake waters, and distant
engirdling of snowy peaks, one can
hardly say too much But other points
of interest there are, most attractive to
the traveller, among them, in the vicinity
of Aroma Station, upon an elevation over
looking the entire district, is q colossal
statue stretching skyward sixty-six feet,
and resting upon pedestal forty feet in
height. 1t was erected in 1897, in honor
of the celebrated Cardinal, Count Carlo
Borromeo. archbishop OF Milan, in which
city he died, 1887. The head, hands and
feet of this statue are of bronze; the robe
is of wrought copper. The various parts
are held together by iron clamps, and in
the interior by stout masonry" Ladders
are at hand by which the lower part of
the robe may be reached, whence the in
terror can be entered. II one has pluck
and spirit, and is climber of skill, he
can, by means of well-srranged iron bars,
ascend TO the head of this wonderful
statue, in which three persons can be ac-
commodated A window introduced at
the back OF this gigantic memorial re-
lieves slightly the intense closeness of the
air; but the sutfocating heat and the
crowded companionship of bats render
the ascent any thing but pleasant pas
time. There is no little artistic merit in
this enormous structure, and it will long
stand in commemoration of the kingly
soul imperiling personal safety in thought
1ulness for others, when the plague was
devastating his diocese. Cardinal Bor-
romeo died at his post, martyr in this
terrible warfare of death. He was can
onized in 1910, and his shrine has beer

Ouinine from Gas Tar.

The last contribution of modern chem,
istry to science is the production of qui.
nine from gas tar. Professor Fisher, of
Munich, has succeeded in obtaining from
distilled coal white crystalline powder,
which, rs far as regards its action on the
human system, cannot be distinguished
from quinine except that it assimilates
even more readily with the stomach. Its
efficacy in reducing fever heat is said to
be remarkable, even rendering the use of
ice unnecessary. The Importance of such
discovery as this consists not so much
in the actual fact achieved as in the
stimulus given to scientific research by
the opening up of new channel of in
vestigation. The romance of gas tar is
evidently far from being exhausted. In
addition to the sweetest scents, the most
brilliant dyes, the most powerful disin-
fectants, and even prussic acid are some
of the numerous and wonderful products
of its accommodation.
