HARD LINEs.-Running paper in an
isolated community like this is hard
lines on an editor. We are practically
bottled up for the winter, the mount
aims are blockaded, and everybody an d
erything are snugged up for the sea-
son; nobody seems to think it worth
while to be born or to get married, and
the climate is too dreadfully healthy to
afford obituary items; hence there is
nothing and nobody of local interest to
write about or fight with. To aggra-
vate the situation the election is just
over, annexation is dead beyond resur-
rection, and there are no questions
before the legislature out of which q
controversy can be manufactured. The
resources of the county are a standard
topic, of course, but dearly beloved, i,

Criminal Carelessness.

PITTsBURG, Nav I4-Colonel II. w. Hob
lTtzell, agent of the Atlantic Dynamite Com
pany. was employed this morning to break
up lot of old iron stored on a vacant piece
OF ground near the Republic Iron Works, on
Sidney street, South Side. He commenced
work about o clock on ten ton anvil, and
used an immense charge of dynamite for the
purpose. terrific explosion followed, and
huge pieces OF the anvil were scattered
around In every direbtion. One piece weigh
ing 800 pounds wrecked house occupied by
Mrs. Mcnamara, one block distant An
other piece of over 200 pounds crashed
through the dwelling of Emil Erstman, also
a block away. 1t struck bed in which three
children were sleeping. They were covered
with debris. bus escaped serious injury. An
other house, occupied by Mrs. Luny, fully
800 feet away, was also wrecked. The only
person injured was James Acton, who was
walking on the sidewalk one block away.
He was struck on the leg with a fragment,
and the limb was so badly injured that am
putation may be necessary. Hoblitzell was
arrested for violating a city ordinance. The
explosion caused intense excitement, as a
runner was current that bomb similar to
those used in Chicago had been thrown on
the street.

night, and o Miss Lesley, they tore up my
finest rose-busbes, and mashed down my
lilies"
"How wicked" cried Lesley, Indignantly;
you'll have the prize in spite OF them,
though, for none of us have such roses.
Have you any idea, Sophy, who did it?'
Don't ask me, Miss Lesley she said,
looking down; II certainly have my suspic-
ions"
"And l, too, have mine. know of but
one person who would have done such
mean act"
But Sophy had more than suspicious to
guide heE-in establishing the identity of the
destroyer. Just where her finest lilies had
been broken and trampled in the dust, she
found the cameo brooch which Gertrade
habitually wore. She had carried it to her
that morning, and though Gertrude turned
crimson when she saw it, she tried to appear
Indifferent.
"Where on earth did you find this breast
pin, Sophyr she asked. 81 missed it weeks
ago, and was sure it was stolen"
81 found it in my flower bed Sophy
answered. looking straight into the shifting
guilty eyes which would not meet her
glance. She had seen that very cameo in
Gertrude's collar the day before.
"Whoever dropped it there" she con-
tinued, chad done all the harm she could to
my poor little garden, but wouldn't change
places with her fer anything in the world.
1t was a mean, degrading act"
i have no space to enter into the details of
the Floral Exhibition. As Lesley prognos-
ticated, the medal was awarded to Sophy
Strald. The flowers she brought were not
very much better than the others, but the
story OF her bespoIled garden had awakened
the sympathy of the judges, and in fact,
everyone present was anxious for her to have
the prize.
You ought to be very fond and proud of
that daughter of yours, Strahl," said Judge
Moore, who had been watching with interest
the beaming face of Sophia's father, as she
passed with the medal.
81 am, Judge. She's done me good, and if
you knew all, you'd say so too"
Probably Sophia never did know all the
good her flowers had accomplished. The
beautiful fower-bed extended its influence
not only to the conscience OF the father, but
to the habits of the mother. The house be-
came decent and tidy. The influence that
bloomed in the rose of the alley bloomed in
three lives; it changed the spirit of dis
heartened household to faith, hope and
trust, and these blossoms of character be-
came at last, to the gentle almoner of the
flower, more beautiful than the roses. In
fact. the loyellest flower of her young lifes
influence was the rose in the alley.

A novelty used by Worth for evening full
dress tollettes is embroidered lisse in stripes
over colored satin for the corsage, the drap-

entire dress, which he prefers to make with
a short skirt just touching the floor, high
lined basque, and transparent elbow sleeves
The embroidery is done IN stripes OF gradu-
ated width that are widest ext one selvage
and this is used for deep drapery, which is
pleated to the waist to fall in straight pleats
nearly to the foot on the right side. curvlng
across the front, to be caught up to the hips
ON the left side, and show three or four wide
pleated fiounces. The material pleated on
the right continues in gathered fulness be-
hind, hanging straight until 1t reaches the
left side, where its scalloped edge Is curved
up from the foot to the belt meeting the
apron at the belt above the founces. The
lisse on which this very decorative embroid-
cry is done is of extremely pale tint. and the
satin under it must he of darker shade.

which is seen in London toilettes. For these
severe coats watered silk is used with skirts
of wool goods of the same color, and white
pipings or white cords are the trimmings
described.

LITTLE FOLKS SAYINGS.

A Scotch dominic, after relating to his

There was a wedding last week from GER
tain rather famous home on the Back bay,

small sister of the bride immensely. A day
or two after the husband and wife had gone

Braek Goolsby tells of little boy who was
sent by his parents to enter school in his

TO recite. AS he entered the door one of the

began to call the Greek alphabet:

When he pronounced the last letter the little
fellow turned on his heels and ran as if for
life, not stopping until ne arrived at home.
His mother met him and wanted TO know
what was the matter. The little fellow said:

''0beah, the witchcraft practiced by the
negroes OF the West Indies, is supposed to
have been introduced from Africa. Every
white West Indian knows that it is practiced
by certain "obeah men," and that in past
times it has cost many a white man his life
but few can tell how it operates. Negroes
are afraid to talk about it. The real danger
lies. undoubtedly, in subtle system of
poisoning, and in the extravagant fears of SUI
perstItious people. There are about 500
