Easter Toilets.

Straw bonnets and new wool gowns are
prepared for Easter Sunday, which comes
late enough this year to make lighter toilets
appropriate. In examining large invoices OF
French dresses the preponderance of various
shades Of blue and brown is noticeable, with
the next choice for green fabrics. Black cos
tunes are not largely imported, yet in any
large gathering Of fashionable New York
women at afternoon receptions, matineeS or
flower shows there are many more handsome
black toilets than colored ones
Dark blue, green, or brown cashmere, or
my Of the wool fabrics called canvas or
etamine, are employed for the basque and
drapery Of new Easter gowns with striped
skirt and vest The striped fabric may be
all of one color, or it may be OF ecru
canvas, with plush or velvet stripes OF the
color of the plain cashmere or canvas with
which it is combined. There are also many
novel fabrics that are striped on one selvage
only, and these stripes appear ON the lower
skirt and the front drapery. Velvet revers
that are placed beside the striped vest, also a
velvet collar and cuffs, complete such a
dress. The blouse vest with Il box plat i'll
the middle is in great favor, especially when
! The front of the basque is cut away to repre-
! sent a Figaro Jacket: with this softly folded
wide sash may be used, either OF velvet like
the revers, or else of gros grain or watered
ribbons In the skirts of these dresses tho
! fronts may be of the plain goods LAID in four
wide plaits. while next these the striped
| fabric is added in plaits, caught up high on
each side and falling in two points or IN only
one behind over other wide plaits of the
plain goods Other costumes have the entire
/ left side and lower front and right of the
stripes laid in plaits, while an apron drapery
of the plain goods is quite short ON the left
side, and curves low to the front on the right
where it i, Joined to large paits, and is lost
in the full back skirt Still other draperies
represent a deep second skirt, which is held
in funnel shaped plat on the left side, and
crossing the back, is brought forward on tho
right side and carried up to the belt. lade
who are tired of the straight, full bach
hread,hs have returned to houttant drapcre,
that are curved below and are fully paltec
nto the belt, with also some plaits high OF
the sides. The pulled effect straight across the
tournure is abandoned, and there is prefer
ence for two winglike pointed draperles ex
tending down each side of the tounure leaV
ing straight plaits i'll very marrow space u
the middle of the back.
Tailor gowns of serges or light cloth have
short jackets of the material to complete
them. Fine yet rough-surtaced boucle cloth'
are made up in short NANTES to wear witt
various dresses; thus dark blue mantle
completes blue, black, or brown toilets, and
the bonnet matches the mantle or the dress
as the wearer prefers Black or tan-colorel
beaded mantles are also worn with various
dresses.-Harper's Bazaar.

slides down here three stories into carts
that wait ready to convey it to the happy
dumping scows.
The steam goes from the boilers by three
huge pipes that convey it into the main street
pipes 1t passes along these, and they ara
tapped here aud there, as steam is required
for buildings. A steam meter, located ia
each house, measures with the exactness or
clockwork the amount Of steam consumed.
A large brass and iron shop is connected
with the establishment, in which skilled
workmen prepare all the machinery required
for the plant even to the nicely adjusted
steam meters. A pressure OF eighty pounds
to the square inch is the amount OF steam
the company claim to send.
Whether steam from central station can
be conveyed like gas and water and furnish
heat for warmth and for cooking, Is, how
ever, the question most interesting to the
community Can all the ashes, dirt, coal, labor
and time involved in the present individual
fire-making in houses be done away With II
can, in time and it will he a step toward the
millennium. For answer to that, the largest
restaurant in this country does all its cook
ing by heat furnished by the Steam COM
pany. 1t feeds l0, 900 persons daily. But the
cost of the steam is $4,000 year. So that
at present the system is very expensive.

GALLERY OF BOILERS.

Ones idea of a boiler is always Of some
thing down in a cellar, or upon ground
floor. But the furnaces and boilers of the
steam companys works are all above ground.
They are upon three floors i'll fact, rising one
above another There are fO"ty-iive great
boilers in operation at present, each with It's
furnaces below. Into these n long line OF
workmen constantly shovel coal, night and
day. Tremendous strength of wall and floor
is required to support such weight. The
scene shows really a long gallery, like lofty
aisle. or something of that sort, lined with
boilers on both sides.
Everything is done on great scale, with
steam and machinery. Coal is hoisted by the
truck load upon an elevator to the top floor.
The truck. large hand car, is wheeled upon
an iron track to the place where it Is wanted.
Then the car is tipped up, and the coal pre-
cinitated down a chute to the boiler floors,
one after another When the company :
plans are complete they will consume 5000
tons of ccal a day. That, however, l,
