that he wasn't within 100 miles Of the oil

BONNETS AND HATS.

Latest New York Styles.

Materials and Trimmings Used With the
Latest New York Styles.
Velvet, plush. embroidered cloth and
felt are the material for the new bon
nets. Both plain and embroidered vel
vets are used, and some striped yelyets
are shown. Beaded velvet and heavily
beaded laces are used down the center
of black bonnets, with the sides of plain
black velvet, each side being in one
smooth piece extending from the front
backward, meeting in a point at the
end of the crown. Plush is used
to trim velvet of lighter shade,
being arranged in thick close folds
along the edges, or in box pleating on
the top. There are also bonnets en-
tirely of plush put smoothly on severe
shaped foundations, and ornamented
with rows of wooden beads around the
edges and bunch offancy feathers di-
rectly on top. The embroidered cloths
rival velvets in beauty, and will be
worn with all kinds of costumes. though
designed originally for the embroidered
cloth costumes that will be among the
most elegant visiting dresses of the
winter. Felt bonnets have the. new
horseshoe crown and the brim in sreae
piece with the sides, thus being divided
on top from back to front instead Of
across from ear to ear. Long stitches
Of fine chenille corn in points or seal
lops form pretty finish to the edges Of
felt bonnets.-
Many Of the velvet and felt bonnets
are trimmed with ribbons alone-a re-
turn to the fashions of long ago-dis-
pensing with flowers, feathers OF beads.
This style is severe, but milliners say it
Is youthful. and predict its popularity
for the demure-looking little bopnets
that are shown for very young ladies.
The plain repped or satin ribbons with
purled edges are chosen darker than
the bonnet, and are arranged in high
narrow bow Of long loops on top Of
the front. aspiring to great height at
the back of the crown. The strings
are then folded narrowly along the
end of the crown, attached by an or
nament on each side, and are to be
tied under the chin.

Criminal CareIessness.

The news columns of the New York
Herald recently directed public atten-
ton to the dangers attending the pres
ent methods of selling rat and bug
poisons. While the law in many States
has made careful provision for the pro-
lection of the people through the regis
tration and proper labelling of such
poisonous drugs as pharmacists keep
in bulk, yet patent-right poisons are
daily sold to patrons without register
or label. A little child can get box
OF Rough on Something or Other, con-
tanning arsenic; the druggist will sell
it without question or without even
knowing who sent the child; and some
poisoner like Maxwell is then at liberty
to kill houseful of people. No one
will ever know where he got the
arsenic with which he did his work.
This matter needs the attention simply
of the executive authorities. The law
is ample to cover the whole question.

How Plug Hats Are Made.

To make the silk stove-pipe hats, a
large square of muslin is dipped into
shellac, wrung out and then stretched
over 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 oblong
squares. The material for dozen Of
these hats is then given to a 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
nshed and dried, making it stiff. and
then the silk plush is put on, 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 a
high polish. From the luering ma
chine it goes to the hands of girl,
who trims it and puts in the lining

FLATS, N. T.. lady who had no canary

church among the flowers and other
decorations. When a small boy with

''speak his piece" the parrot began to
mock him, and finally screeched out:
Hey, you little devil!" This demoral-

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 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 petition is now in
circulation to secure a pardon for the
young merchant 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. steel-grinders,
iron-miners, etc. Taking pulmonary
consumption as test disease of the
hurtful effects of inhaling metallic
dust, there is a mortality of 50 in every
100 sick needle makers, diminishing to
10 in every 100 SEX brass-workers.
Mineral dust causes maximum death
rate from consumption of 90 per cent.
of the total mortality among grind
stone-makers, animal dust causes 40
per cent, and dust from poisonous
metals Sc per cent. of such mortality,
respectively, in the workers exposed.
OF those exposed to vegetable dust, go
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-
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 to 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. x Chica-

FEEDING INFANTS.
The Fatal Results of Forcing Infants to
Eat Against Their Will.

The Fatal Results of Forcing Infants to
Eat Against Their Will.
In no detail of nursery routine is a
'sknack" more serviceable than in feed
ing infants. This is especially true
during the first days of weaving time,
when the mothers anxiety over 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 a momentary whim, easily
overcome by little judicious persua-
sion, perhaps under cover Of some lit
tie ruse or temporary diversion of
the attention, 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 nourshment, may
do more than fail of its purpose; it
! may provoke rebellious spirit, and
create an aversion, not only to the par
: ticular food administered, but to anv
I other that may be offered which would
under other circumstances be entirely
I acceptablesto the fastidious little one.
: This repeated refusal adds anxiety to
anxiety, the fact being overlooked that it
is abnormal and might easily have been
averted. Moreover, we can not tell to
what extent our own feelings at such
time react in spite of ourselves, on
the baby; but react they often do, and
only add complication to our troubles.

TRICKS ON THE TRACKSi
Dangers from Which Engineers Save the
Public and Themselves.
1The Railway Reyiew.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 Off because he had "cut out''
all the bearings of his engine. He was re-
instated, however, after he proved that
some rival had filled his otltng can tcsth
enery Another new engineer was sus-
pended for burning out the fues OF his
boiler. Through grief at the loss of his
position he died, and then a 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-C Chief Engineer A. S.
Hampton, indianapolis, Ind, (Div. 143)
was one of those apparently hearty men,
but he says: "The anxiety, strain and
jolting came near finishing me-" His suf-
ferings localized in catarrh of the bladder,
but he used Warmers safe cure faithfully
for twenty weeks and now exclaims: II
am a well man." L. S. Ingraham, of
Cleveland, O., Assistant Chief Engineer,
and other prominent members are also
emphatic in its praise.
The Locomotive Engineers Brotherhood
has 1000 members and 240 divisions. Its
headquarters are in Cleveland, o., where
Chief Engineer Arthur for twenty years
has exercised almost dictatorial sway. 1t
was organized in August, 1868, by the en-
ployes of the Michigan Central. 1t has
given nearly two million dollars to the
widows and orphans of deceased members.
