Woven Underwear.


1t is an absolute necessity in this
changeable climate Of ours TO wear warm
underclothing. Very many silly peo-
pie who wish to present wasp-like ap-
pearance, will go through the long, cold
winter without proper wColen UNDER
garments. Many an illness, and some
times death, can be justly attributed to
this cause. The medium and finer
grades OF merino and gos5amer goods
are much more practical and useful for
general wear than the cheap qualities of
silk, and there are many medical men
who will not permit their delicate pa
tients to wear silk at all. unless a very
thin all-wool flannel is worn under
meath. On the other hand, there ara
some wealthy and fastidious persons
who wear the finest of silk underway
next to the body and all-wool UNDER
wear over it, and claim that it is a
sovereign remedy for all rheumatic diff
iculGes. The main thing is TO keep the
body properly protected on all occa-
sions with some absorbent material,
and it is probably matter of minor
Importance whether that protection ba
wool or silk, or a combination of the
two.
Silk union suits are growing in favor
with stout ladies who can afford them.
They are made under some late patents.
and have double backs and much mora
perfect fashioning than any similar
goods heretofore put upon the market
They cost from Sl2 to SIS. according to
the size. Union suits in wool or the
regular grades of gossamer are in mod
crate demand, and are made in the
same way as the silk ones mentioned,
consequently they are much better
shaped, and fit the figure with fair de-
gree OF accuracy. which has not been
the case with these garments in the
past The prices for these suits range
from 4.50 to $50. There is a grow
ing sentiment III favor of Balbriggan
underwear for ladies. as it is more like
silk in feeling when it comes in contact
with the skin than any other material.
They are much more durable than the
ordinary qualities OF even higher-priced
mixed goods. and. white not rs tic-ir--
able for delicate persons, they are emil
nently suited TO those in robust health,
especially persons who are constantly
indoors and who suffer mach from the
heat They cost from Sl.50 to "a. but
are y good investment even at the higher
figure.
Regular grades of wool goods are
brought out in very fine qualities, and
have no new features except more per-
feet shapes that allow of better fitting
dresses. This is an item of no little inn
portanee in the general effect of a lady's
toilet. The lit of many dress has been
spoiled by unsuitable underwear.
The use of woven underwear for chill
dren has become so general that it is
quite a matter of course that they are
all provided with suitable garments of
this sort. Even in summer one of the
best plans is to wear a full suit of Cos
samer, and leave off the cotton chemise
III extremely warm weather. The
drawers may be of very light weight.
and with cambric drawers worn over
them will not be found very uncomfort-

BarrOom Furniture.

A KGiL and Express reporter drop
ped into a big warehouse on Canal
street the other day, where bar fixtures
are the principal articles of merchan-
disc for sale. Costly mirrors and ele-
gantly carved woodwork ornamented
the side walls, while bars made of solid
mahogany were ranged along the floor
Business is good" said the pro-
prietor. Every liquor-dealer who can
afford it is getting rid of the old and
shabby styles of bar fixtures and adopt
ing the new and snowy furniture
which we make in a dozen different de-
signs. There has been radical
change in tho last five years. Why?
Well, people who drink have become
fastidious. The barroom with plate
glass mirrors and frescoed ceiling coins
money, while the oldfashioned store
with the sawdust floor and plain bar
fails to attract trade. Years ago a
pine board, a cracked glass, and a
black bottle were good enough. Now
drinkers demand and insist on the
best of treatment. Everything about
a modern saloon is supposed to be
scrupulously clean. The glass service
must be delicate as air and shining

linen must be immaculate, and he
must be thoroughly posted in his busi-
ness. The old-time business of slam
ming a greasy glass on the bar and
placing tumbler of muddy water be-
side it as an accompaniment is a thing
of the past. The public won't have
it,"
What does the new style of bar
cost?"
"From 500 up to $4,000. This in
cludes simply the bar and fixtures.
Then costly pictures and bric-a-brac
may cost So, 900 more. The average
cost is 81, 500. Each dealer tries to
eclipse his neighbor, and the one who
has the finest place attracts the great
est custom.

Singular Accident.

From q gentleman who just came
down from Quincy, says the Marrys-
vile (CaL) Democrat, we learn the fol-
lowing particulars of singular, though
fortunately not fatal accident: \ man
named Miller, living on the mountain
road, between Taylor7ille and Susan
vile, Lassen county, has an s-year-old
son named Peter. Some four or five
inches of new soft snow had accumu-
lated on the ground, and, boylike, little
Peter proceeded to make a snow man
out of the first snow of the season.
Little attention was paid to his antics
by the older members of the family.
As evening approached the little fellow
was missed, and as he did not answer
to repeated calls, the parents became
much alarmed. Search was instituted,
and the parents naturally sought the
scene of the snow man for a possible
clew to his whereabouts, and they
found it. Leading from the spot down
a steep slope of the mountain was the
track of huge SNOWFALL, gradually in
creasing in width as it receded from the
starting point. The awful suspicion
crossed their minds that perhaps their
only child had been carried to the canon
below wrapped in the ball. Their fears
were well founded, for on following the
trail over the brow of the slope, and at
a point where it pitched directly into
the deep canon, they found the huge
ball resting ON the soft boughs of re-
Gently fallen tree. A faint voice was
heard calling mamma" The parents
found the little fellow almost completely
enveloped in the SNOWFALL, with only a
breathing hole left to mark the spot
where he was entombed. With only
their hands and sticks as implements to
work with. the parents had hard time
in freeing the little one, but the task
was finally accomplished, and they
breathed much easier on finding he was
but little the worse for his perilous
journey. He said in attempting to stop
the ball from rolling it knocked him
down, ran over and picked him up, and
it was all he could do to fight the snow
from his face as the ball rolled on.
Had the tree not stopped the ball the
boy must have been dashed to pieces in
the canon below.

The einquisitiveness of the Norwegians
increased, if possible, as we advanced.
But they never tell you anything in re-
turn for what they elicit. They are re-
served as they are curious. Only one
woman, designated in the guidc-books
as the friendly landlady," offered any
information about herself. She was
Dane by birth, so she hardly counts.
They are very honorable race, almost
never try to take any advantage of you,
are always kindly and well-meaning.
When you give fee its recipient gives
n funny little bob" and then offers
you his or her hand, shooting it out at
you from the shoulder like n pump
handle. After we discovered this GUS
tom we took care to put on gloves be-
fore paying. for the farther we went
the dirtier the people became. As for
smells, Italy and Spain together can
not present such combination of in
sutferable odors as a Norwegian guard
can furnish in live minutes. How they
eau exist in the stencil and dirt of their
own rooms which they do not care for
as they do for those of strangers who
visit them, and how they can live and
thrive on such food as they have is al
most inconceivable. Yet ] suppose
what we saw was luxury compared to
what might be found in stiillmoro soli-
tary spots where families live on fish
alone the whole year round. and find
shelter in q miserable little dwelling
perched upon some ledge on a moun-
tain or on scrap of beach with no APP
parent means of communication with
any other point of the known world.
1t is thousand times worse than it
ever can be.in the southern countries,
for they have warmth and light, and
the physical necessities are few. Here,
in addition to all other priv atoms, cold
and darkness reign at least three-quar-
ters OF the year. The Norwegians are
q wonderfully honest people: As we
were driving along one day. We saw
two umbrellas hanging on the branch
of a tree. Some people not caring to
be incumbered with them had left
them there till they should pass that
way again. Although it was raining
no one thought Of touching them. An
English. lady told US that going for a
walk one day, she found her fur-lined
silk cloak too heavy and remarked that
she wished that she had left it at home.
Take 1t off," said Norwegian friend
who was with her. land hang it on
this tree" She did SO. and when she
returned two hours later. there it still
remained. Yet these admirable quail
ties are hardly more advantageous to

ness and slowness are trying

Collecting Poll Taxes in Maine.

High up in an apple tree the other
day was delinquent Auburn poll tax
payer when Collector league called on
him. The collector had been after him
once or twice, and on the day in ques-
ton he had driven mile or two and at
last stood under the tree while the man
picked apples. ''Will you pay that
taxi" he asked. Never" was the re-
ply. You won't, eh?" went on the
conversation. Never" was again the
reply. Then l arrest you" said the
tax collector In less than jify the
man was out of the tree. He quietly,
with good deal of grumbling, was in
duced to enter the wagon. His mother,
like the Roman matron of old, adjured
him rather to rot in the Jail than pay
his poll tax. Coming down the man
was stout in resistance. When the col
lector sat down to make out the papers
to commit him to Jail he wilted He
paid tax and interest, 70 cents to the
collector for the trouble OF the arrest,
and then walked home, losing his days
work. The collector reckons that he
has driven twenty-five or thirty miles
after that poll tax.-Le1Ciston (Me.

The Czarina and the Empress.

A friend who has Just returned from
Vienna tells me, writes Paris cores
pondent, that the czarina and the en-
press of Austria did not get on well to-
gether. One of the august ladies is
passionately fond of dancing. She can
tire out no end of the aids-de-camp at
the chops" which she gets up so often
both at Gatchina and st. Petersburg.

phere of a ballroom, and is happiest

erei9ns hit upon a topic of mutual in

they were both young girls, leading a
country life, under, so far as money
went, very cramped circumstances.
The empress gravitated toward the
stables, out she was obliged to take
her turn in dairy-work and housekeep-
ing with her other sisters. The czarina
boosted of her. skill as 4 pastry-cook,

country-house in Schleswig, but her
summers were spent with the rest Of
her family in Germany. The whole
