DRY GOoDS.

1--WE have never failed to
be the first to make reduc-
tons when reductions we're
to be made" The unsea-
sonable weather has retarded
the sale of heavy woolens to
such an extent that we find
ourselves overloaded, and
realize that nothing short of
a slaughtering sacrifice will
move this surplus ; hence we
have put the knife deeply
into almost the entire stock
of Wool Dress Goods.
AS this stock must be sold
in November (only twenty
days remaining), we trust not
to ordinary reductions or
clippings" but have made
EXTRAORDINARY re-
auctions, in many cases from
IS to SO per cent.
This is unexceptionally the
Greatest Reduction Sale"
ever inaugurated by us, and
never before in the annals of

dress fabrics offered at such

The Height of Romance,

A romantic love story is at present
going the rounds of the Ital an papers.
In 1881 a young merchant in Boulogne
fell in love with beautiful girl, who
reciprocated his feelings. But the
young man was so absurdly Jealous
that the girl concluded the only way
to make him more reasonable would be
to break the engagement and keep him
at distance for a while. But this
only increased his passion. and one
day after being refused he pulled out a
revolver and shot her. The shot was
not fatal but the girl was ill for a long
time, while her lover was sentenced to
twelve years Imprisonment. Recently
the girl has been visiting the prisoner,
and the other day she informed her
parents that she had made up her mind
to marry her lover, Notwithstanding
all that had happened, and in prison.
The ceremony was performed without
opposition, and a petition is now in
circulation to secure a pardon for the
young merchant.-M J. Post.

Health of coal-Miners.

A great variety of industrial employ
ments are directly and largely produc-
tive of pulmonary disease, notably
among stone-cutters, steei-grinders,
iron-minecs, etc. Taking pulmonary
consumption as test disease of the
hurtful effects of inhaling metallic
dust there is mortality of SO in every
100 sick needle-makers, diminishing to
10 in every 100 SICK brass-workers.
Mineral dust causes a maximum DEATH
rate from consumption of 80 per cent
OF the total mortality among grind
stone-makers, animal dust causes 40
per cont, and dust from poisonous
metals SO per cent of such mortality,
respectively, in the workers exposed.
Ut those exposed to vegetable dust, 60
out of every 100 deaths among the cot
ton, flax and hemp dressers are due to
consumption, while among coal
m'ners only fraction of one in the
100 deaths is due to this cause. Re-
cent Investigations show not only that
consumption Is not caused by coal
mining, but that this is the healthiest
of industrial employments. Looking
to the longevity, high standard of
health, and low death-rate of coal
miners, and to their remarkable free
dom from pulmonary d sease, there
would seem 10 be some special protec-
tive feature in coal-mining operations
not shared by the rest of the dusty
trades. 1t is surmised that this may
be due to the antiseptic properties Of
the carbon constantly inhaled. - Chicd-

How Plug Hats Are Made.

TO make the silk stove-pipe hats, g
large square of muslin is dipped into
shellac, wrung out and then stretched
over a wooden frame to dry. After
drying it is cut up into sizes and shapes
suitable for the various parts of the
hat. Some pieces are cut on the bias
for the crowns of hats, others are stiff
ened particularly for the brims, while
the muslin for the central cylinders
which are the sides, is cut into oblono
squares. The material for dozen Of
these hats is then given to workman,
who draws the frame of the hat to-
gether around the block and fastens it
BY means of hot iron. The shell of
the hat, as it is called, is then var
nished and dried. making it stiff, and
then the silk plush is put on, a man
ironing it to the shellac-covered shell
and sponging it with every stroke of
the iron. Girls sew in the crown and
the brim after the sides of the shell
have been fastened. and then the seams
are gone over with hot iron, which
conceals all traces of them. The brim
Is then curled, as in the case of the felt
article. and then the hat goes away to
the luering machine, where polish
brushes. revolving rapidly. give it
high polish, From the luering ma
chine Il goes to the hands Of 4 girl,
who trims It and puts in the lining

-''Woodmann says in the Tribune:
''There is no question about the greatly
superior durability and firmness of
wood cut during summer, especially
if stripped of the bark so that it may
dry all the more rapidly. If the trees
are not cut up until the leaves have
withered after eXhausting much ofNhe

ter a few handfuls of common salt be-
tween each layer. The salt, by alb
sorbng the humidity of the hay, not
only prevents its fermentation and
consequent heating, but it also adds a
salty taste to this forage which all cat
tie like; besides, it stimulates the appe-
tite and assists their digestion, and so
preserves them from many diseases.
Lemons for malaria: Dr. Crudelli,
OF Rome, gives the following directions
for preparing a remedy for malaria
which may be worth trying, as it is said
to have proved eficacious when
quinine has given no relief Cut up a
lemon, peel and pulp, in thin slices,
and boil it in pint and half of
water until it is reduced to half a pint.
Strain through linen cloth, squeezing
the remains of a boiled lemon, and set
it aside until cold. The entire liquid
is taken fasting.
Feeding steers: A statement was
recently made by an English feeder of
steers that an experiment made proved
that two-year-old steers, fed with three
year-olds and four-year-olds, made
more beef in proportion to the food
consumed than either three-year-old
or four-year-olds; also that the three
yearolds were more profitable than
the four-year- olds. Thus it is undoubt-
eddy true that the earlier the maturity
OF the beef animal the more profit to
the beef maker. Toronto Globe.

FEEDING INFANTS.
The Fatal Results OF Forcing Infants to
Eat Against Their VIII.

The Fatal Results OF Forcing Infants to
Eat Against Their VIII.
In no detail of nursery routine is a
"knack" more serviceable than in feed
ing infants. This is especially true
during the first days of weaving time,
when the mothers anxiety over a re-
fusal even to taste the novel food in the
novel way is apt to be at the most dis
tressing point. What often passes for
distaste, or even lack of appetite, may
be only momentary within, easily
overcome by little iudicious persua-
sion, perhaps under cover of some lit
tie ruse or temporary diversion of
the attentions during which the feed
ing may be accomplished in mechan-
ical way, An attempt to force child
to eat against his will, even when OBJ
viously in need of nouriShment, may
do more than fail of its purpose; it
may provoke a rebellious spirit, and
create an aversion, not only to the par
ticular food administered, but to any
other that may be offered which would
under other circumstances be entirely
acceptable to the fastdious little one.
This repeated refusal adds anxiety to
anxiety, the fact being overlooked that it
is abnormal and might easily have been
ayerted. Moreover, we can not tell to
what extent our own feelings at such a
time react, in spite of ourselves, on
the baby; but react they often do, and
only add complication to our troubles,

TRICKS ON THE rRAcKsI
Dangers from Which Engineers Save til
Public and Themselves

THE Railway Review.1
One who is accustomed to railway
travelling can scarcely realize how much
he is dependent for safety upon the en-
gineer. Added to the responsibility Of
their station, engineers are also in con-
slant danger of accidents caused by the
tricks of Jealous rivals.
This rivalry, it is said, sometimes
prompts to the doing Of utterly mean tricks.
A Nickle Plate engineer after his very first
trip was laid of because he had ''ctt cut"
all the bearings of his engine. He was res
instated, however, after he proved that
some rival hdd filled his 0iling can Nth
emery Another new engineer was sus-
pended for burning out the hues Of his
boiler. Through grief at the loss Of his
position he died, and then q conscience
stricken rival confessed that he had put
oil in the tank SO that it foamed and showed
water at the top gauge, when in reality
there was scarcely quart in the boiler!
These intense jealousies, together with
the terrible anxiety incident to their
the nerve, and statistics tell us that,
though Locomotive Engineers may look
strong and vigorous, they are not all a
healthy class. Ex- Chief Engineer A. s.
Hampton, Indianapolis, Ind, (Div. 143)
was one of those apparently hearty men,
but he says; 1.-THE anxiety, strain and
jolting came near finishing mo-" His suf-
ferings localized in catarrh of the bladder,

am a well man." T. s. Ingraham, of
Cleveland, o., Assistant Chief Engineer,
and other prominent members are also
emphatic In its praise.
The Locomotive Engineers Brotherhood
has 1900 members and 240 divisions. Its
headquarters are in Cleveland, O., where
Chief Engineer Arthur for twenty years
has exercised almost dictatorial sway. It
was organized in August, 1868, by the en-
ployes of the Michigan Central. It has
given nearly two million dollars to the
widows and orphans Of deceased members.
