Roller Skating Again,

Some troubled husbands appear to fancy
they will lose their wives unless the roller
Kinks are shut up. They therefore endeavor
to secure legislation that will stop this amuso-
ment If such dissatisfied husbands would
make themselves more agreeable, SO that the
attractions of home would be u little stronger,
they might perhaps rival the destinations of
the roller skate. Or better still, if they them
selves would accompany their wives to the
rink, and skate with them, and play the de
voted cavalier as handsomely as the men to
whom they object SO strongly, the mischief
would be stopped But don't let us stop
roller skating.
The craze is said to be slightly dying out in
New York. High society turns up its nose,
and says that nobody but ''salesladies" go t.
the rink Perhaps the saleswomen would be
ge\lerous and let high society in, too, if it be
haved itself.
One unique feature of the amusement in
New York has been the general demand for
champion women skaters 1t has really
opened a new field OF employment for some
of them for the time. Every rink must have
two or more champions to show the rest how
A graceful woman who is a good shaker and
can get such place easily earns Sl5 night.
But little girls, II to IA years old, have been in
highest request. A few Of these are marvels
of grace and skill. They are paid s25 to $50
night by managers for appearing an hour
or two of an evening. They are very TAX
ing advertisement.

Mr.. Leslie, a Canadian postmaster, has in
vented something worth while, apparently.
The snow plow at present in use on railways
is mostly a monstrous butting machine.
When set to removing drift upon the track
it dashes into it, head on. with all the force
that steam can give. If it does not succeed
in driving through at once, it only rams the
ice more compactly together and increases its
own difficulty.
Mr.. Lesle's invention is not a snow rammer,
but a snow cutter. In shape it is a huge,
olare-cornered funnel 1t is ten feet square
Inside the funnel is Il system of revolving
blades or knives, that are attached to screw
propeller. The machine is fastened to
a platform car, and pushed by powerful
locomotive engine. The engine drives the
funnel, big end forward, into snow bank.
The knives, revolving by machinery, cut the
snow like sausage meat, and it is turned
backward to the little end of the funnel.
Here it is caught upon large revolving fan
and thrown out $50 feet on each side, or over
a 6O-foot embankment. The fan rcvolves in
a direction opposite to that of the screw,
though it is only l-Gith of an inch away
from it, This part of the invention is a
wonderful mechanical triumph. One machine
costs $4,000 The first one, just now com
pleted, will be shipped to Chicago to be tried
on some great drifts of snow near there. The
machine was built by the Railway Steam
Snow Shovel company, Paterson, n. j.

A system of pneumatic tube transmission,
such as was illustrated in this column last
week, has been proposed between Paris and
London, by way of the Straits Of Dover,
under the ocean. The distance between the
two cities is 2S3 miles,
Conversation by telephone has been carried
on successfully between New York and Bos-
ton. When direct personal communication
can be had there is no reason why the tele-
graph should not be superseded largely by
the telephone.
The depressed iron market has had at least
one good result. 1t is bringing about that
steel is taking the place Of wrought iron to a
great extent. Bridges are no longer made Of
iron, but of steel. We now have steel ships,
boilers and pillars in fireproof buildings.
Only one thing has not yet been successfully
made Of steel, and that is the propeller shaft
for steamship.
Cork bricks, which have been found to be
very durable and capable of resisting moist
ure, of acting as excellent non-conductors Of
heat, and of serving to deaden sound, are made
after this manner The cork is freed from
woody particles and other impurities by a
winnowing process, and the wind from the
ventilator throws the cork into a second ma
chine, where it is cut into pieces. The pieces
of cork are then drawn up in buckets and
elected into mill, where they are ground to
an impalpable powder, which is kneetled up
with suitable cement and pressed into brick
FORM After having been dried in the air the
cork bricks are then subj ected to artificial
heat.

J'HE Fashions
Easter Bonnets.

There are sweeping changes in the style OF
the new hats and bonnets for this summer.
We shall mention some in general way
Hats are narrow-brimmed, with very high
crowns, seven or eight inches high, tapering
but not pointed. The crown at the top is nat
and square. The prevailing shape for the hat
of plain everyday wear will be that seen in
the central untrimmed one in the illustration
below Another popular shape is shown in
the trimmed hat known as the Concord
shape, on the right Of the illustration. The
hats are trimmed as shown in the Concord. !"
Gilt braid and lace and tinsel are greatly
used. In many of the hats the trimming is
more directly upon the front than upon that
in the illustration. The hat is of pale brown
straw. The brim is covered with gilt braid
edged with velvet.

The Geneva RepuJ'ican asks: Did you
ever stop to think what treless letter
writer good local paper is? Week after
week reaching into year after year, 1t goes
on telling of the births, marriages, deaths,
and the comings and goings of the people
of your town, the business success or fail
ure, accidents, crops, Improvements, meet,
ings, revivals, in fact events of all kinds.
All is grist that comes to the hopper of a
good local paper. Why, if you were TO
undertake to write letter each week TO
your absent friend and tell half the news
that your local paper gives you would give
in despair, The supposed pleasure be
ONES tiresome, the letters grow shorter fur
ther apart, aud finally quit Why the differ
ence? Because with the newspaper 1t is
bcslness. People in a town recognize this
and give the editor news items you would
never learn.

FASHIONlETS.

A trimming Of fine batiste embroidered
with cardinal red floss is manufactured es-
pecially for thin summer dresses. 1t is very
pretty.
One # the most interesting items to many
will be the announcement that satins, satin
brocades and fabrics with satin grounds, in
black and colors, will continue TO be worn AZ
much as ever before. Plain satin means the
duchesse and mervellieux rather than the cid
fabric.
Poplin may be said with certainty to have
become fashionable; not only has the Princess
Beatrice ordered dresses from that fabric for
her trousseau, but her highness OF Cll'nna
had two poplin dresses in her outfit Una of
ivory wnie, for evening wear, was einbroi-
dcred all over in a design o: silver thread (;
another, or street wear, of soft silver gray,
was biifh.ened by touches of red.

A curiosity, partly natural and partly arti.
fetal, near Bellaire, O., is attracting much
attention. Several years ago the land was
drilled for oil. The oil was not found, but q
light flow of salt water was obtained. The
field was abandoned and forgotten. The
operators were not aware that with the salt
water they struck vein Of natural gas
Some time last fall hunter accidentally
lighted the gas in one Of the wells, and 1t has
continued to burn ever since with flame six
or eight feet high. The salt water bubbles
over the top of the well, which is foot or so
below the surface Of the ground, forming q
little pool with two or three square feet OF
surface. On this surface the flames burn,
seeming to come from the water. A few feet
away is ledge Of rock, on the surface OF which
the water is frozen into many fantastic shapes.

An oyster has stomach and heart In
America it has sex, but none in Europe.
We have male and female oysters ON the
American coast. Those of Europe combine
the two sexes in one animal. Two parent oy-
sters produce many million oysters in a sea-
son. These bivalves were cultivated for food
in the days of Pompeii and Herculaneum.
They used to be far more plentiful than they
are now in our country There was once {
great bank of them on the Maine coast. If
let alone the creatures might grow to be
a foot and half long. the garden of them
is in Chesapeake bay, but even there they are
disappearing before the murdcrous system of
fisheries pursued. Fortunately the abund-
ance can be brought back by cultivation

On the left of the picture is seen one of the
two most popular shapes of bonnet, the
Capote The front is filled in full with lace,
having tiny bow of ribbon in front. On
the left, near the top, Is small spray of
flowers, on the right bow of ribbon The
strings pass around the back and are tied
under the chin. They are yard long.
With both the hats and bonnets the hair is
to be worn very high upon the head. 1t has
gone up so high as to be quite out Of sight, in
fact. In regard to trimming this is to be no
tieed: Feathers are not used much upon
bonnets. Upon these flowers and lace appear
in profusion Feathers, and especially whole
birds, on the other hand will be used for hats.
Etarnine scarfs are draped around the hats.
They wi Ne very fashionable. They come
stamped in Chinese colors and patterns.
Etamine is a thin, canvas-like or grenadine
fabric. 1t is popular in ribbons also.
The other most fashionable shape in bon
nets is the poke, or pointed one. Sometimes
it is a split poke, like that seen below.

that nitro-benzol is poisonous, yet among the
twenty-four men employed at Hochst, In the
nitro benzol house, during the Last four years,
symptoms Of ''nitro-benSonimus" appeared

cases Of specific aniline poisoning, none OF
which proved fatal. The workmen In the

THE COURTS.


The sensation of the week was the pro
ceedings in the Joseph Chesterfield Mackin
business, menti n of which is made else
where. The arguments on the motion for a
stay of proceedings attracted large audi
ence from this city as well as Chicago, and
many prominent members of the bar OF that
CITY were on hand The supersedeas was
not granted, and it is now in order, probab-
ly, for the elegant Joseph to take walk for
Joliet; and when he gets there he will stay
long enough to harden his muscles.

Nv eve grows dim to think how slim
am today, and how my vim
Seems gone away, and hair turned gray
Somehow feel Il sorrow real.
Though seem gay this festive day,
| know that am growing gray;
That seasons change and pass away,
And meadows green turn into nay.
The maiden fair, of sweet sixteen,
So free from care, with look serene,
With raven hair and lofty mien,
Old time will mar aud change the scene
The youth so spry and lover gay
That hard doth try his love To say
The wears roll by and change his lay
The man sedatc, and maiden grown,
Whose wild oats" late have all been sown,
Are passing by their month OF May,
And fast are on their winding way,
And soon will reach Defenders day.
And yet the true, long time-tried men,
And women too, four-score and ten,
Look tnro' their tears and view the years,
And count their loves and hopes and fears.
The aged, whom we see to-day,
Were once elastic, young anu gay;
As YOU now be, SO once were they;
As they now be, all bent and gray,
So YOU will be some future day.
The wears pass away, the hair turneth gray,
our cheeks they do fade like flowers in the
shade;
Months swiftly do 90 like waters that How;
In the morning OF light there soon comes inc
Spriug passes away, and roses decay; lnignt'
Sweet fiowrets of May do wilt in day; hight
Ewes beaming and bright soon lose their soil
sunny rays, happy days they don't last always
Then while we do live tits goodly TO give
Each eet-passing day some little light ray.
Light imparteth light and dispelleth night;
Love begetteth love, making earth like above
Each dew drop OF rain may help TO ease pain
June-leafy green bowers lend beauty 10 no"
ers.
Here, then, while we stay let's try to be gay,
And not pine away till December's day;
Yea. here / would say, just be charity,
We'd while 1t is May, and live merrily.
