Everything is Lovely, and the Goose

St. Nicholas.
This expression is corruption of
an old-fashioned saying that originat-
ed in the early days of this country.
At most of you know, wild geese,
when they migrate in autumn, form
themselves into lines shaped like the
letter V, the leader flying at the
point, the two lines following; and
as they, sail away, far above the trees,
and beyond all danger from guns
on those cold mornings when the air
is clear, and the sky beautifully blue,
they seem full Of glee, and join in a
chorus, "HOnk, honk, honk"
Any one who has heard those
curiously sounding notes, never could
mistake them. And the folks on the
earth below who heard the birds
wild call, in old times, realized the
happiness Of the winged creatures in
being so high and safe. And 50 it
became quite natural, when two per-
sons met each other under peculiarly
favorable circumstances for this or
that enterprise, for them to say
Everything is lovely, and the goose

Color.d Beads Upon Black.

A Partisan novelty worthy of notice is
beaded embroidery Of cut beads on black
tulle. These beads are like precious stones,
as they are beautifully cut and very trans
parent They initiate sapphires, emeralds,
garnets and topazes. Bunches of flowers and
dropping ornaments are worked on plain
tulle. The tulle should be sparingly used, as
close draperies of plaits are altogether insult
able on this tissue. An effective arrangement
for toilet trimmed with the tulle is to have
the plain apron or the front of the waist of
the same material The beads are often seen
on the neck and sleeves of waists They are
sewed to piece of goods which comes from
the inside of the waist

The use of natural gas fuel has led
to the manufacture of mirrorsi in Pitts
burg. Uptothis time all mirrors man
ufactured in the United States have
been from imported glass. Unequal
ity of the glass, to retain thesilvering
and give a perfect production of the
object, must be of the best. This quail
ity Pittsburg has never been able to
produce until natural gas came into
use. Now by its aid the fineneSs of
the glass produced rivals that of the
imported article. The entire absence
of impurity, the perfect fusing of the
ingredients, the rapidity Of the melt
ing and the pure, intense flame for
relocating Or working are the princi-
pie advantages.

LONDON, March ia collision
occurred yesterday between two trains
on the railway between Monte Carlo
and Mentone. The train from Men,
tone was filed with English visitors.
A number of carriages were smashed
and fell into the sea. The number OF
deaths ia unknown, but it is believed
that at least twenty persons lost their
lives.
Later. = Three passengers, an en-
gineer and a guard were instantly
killed in the collision which occurred
on the railroad between Monte Carlo
and Mentone yesterday. Twenty six
OF the passengers were injured, thir-
teen Of them very dangerously. The
collision happened on a sharp curve
which the two trains, both filed with
passengers, tried to round at the fame
time on single track. The trains
were badly telescoped aud were
thrown from the track. The point
where the collision occurred is stu
ated on cliff overlooking the sea, and
about l35 feet above the beach. Two
OF the carriages which were thrown
from the track ard fell down this cliff
rolled considerable distance in the
shsllow water at the base and i'm
bedded themselves in the sand. Both
these coaches were full Of people, and
the wonder Is that all we're not killed.
The wounded have been conveyed to
hotels at Monte Carlo. Many of the
travellers were Americans and En-
glishmtn, and the calamity has cast
gloom over the American and English
colonies here.
Later.-It is stated this afternoon
that no Americans or Engllshmen
were killed in the collision.
