parochial schools, and Protestants and Catho- committees. In some communities the Catholics would be in majority and the public schools would then come under their control The better way, says President Eliot, is to provide for closing rather than widening the breach between Protestants and Catholics on the school question, and he be- 1ieves 1t possible by legislation to make the common school system satisfactory to the Catholics.
 People are committing suicide in Chicago, and the Herald of that city sees 8 reason for it. It says: We, here, ale founded on the puritanic idea of all work and no play. To escape from it the rash seek death that will come anyway at an carly age. It would be distinctly we'll if all people had some oasis toward which to look at all times. A week at Easter, week in midsummer and week at Thanksgiving added to the Christi mas week would make a vast change in our waste of labor. We are 8 rich people in earnings, but we are a miserably poor people in the savings of the humble. The fever of expense is on us all the year. From the 1st of January to the 30th of May there is no general holiday, and play-spells come so far apart that the stoical inhabitant of the North American continent looks with lean contempt evei on suchHs-esms Tkat life is worth living in the way 50O,000 Chicagoans carry it on is daily denied by the deed of the despairing suicide. It ought to be different. Let it be hoped the rage of pioneer thrift will soon cease. John Stuart Mill said this seemed to be a country where one-half of the inhabitants spent their lives in getting dollars and the other half in breeding dollar getters. A great portion of mankind must forever live out of harmony with this reason for being.

to be the subject of much admiring cona- ment In the center of the table stood 8 large silver wheelbarrow, from the handles of which down toward the wheel dropped clustering orchid blooms. in every gradation of tint from the softest cream color to the deepest gold. Smaller wheelbarrows were scattered about the table, each within it's silver compass holding it's light burden of orchids, but each varied in color from all the others. In one all the blooms were cream colored. In another was cluster of vivid scarlet flowers with black foliage. A third held the exquisite green saddle orchids. while a fourth was lightly heaped with pink ones and black leaves. A spray of perfect blooms was here and there thrown with careless art upon the cloth. At another dinner party at the same house the table was decorated with roses of every color and every form in which the queen of flowers appears, and in such quantities as might lead the beholder to fancy himself suddenly transplanted from snowy February into an unusually warm and sunny June.
 Only millionaires, it is t1ue can do this kind of thing; but even the wealthiest never dreamed of such exquisite decorations forty or fifty years ago. We seem to have culti- vated love of nature during the last few years; and the numerous florists shops that are now doing a thriving business, ill con trast with the very few that existed in Lon don twenty years ago, may be addueed as proof. Flowers have been largely an article of commerce, and our dinner tables, if seen by some dead and gone ancestor, would convey to him the mistaken idea that his descendants eat nothing but fruit and flowers, with little bread, though the num- Der of glasses placed st each cover would re- assure him as to the number and variety of our beverages.

SOME TIMELY SUGGESTIONS.

Mir. Edward Atkinson probably knows as much about the protection of buildings from fire as anybody. The recent tragedy at Springfield, which he called Gan unjusti6a- ble homicide" has led him to write to the gestions concerning making buildings safe.
 The elevator shaft which carried the fire in the Springfield Union building to the top of the building there met close roof and the flame and smoke were directed into the upper story, whereas, had there been sky light glazed with thin glass over the shaft, the heat would probably have broken the glass before the woodwork ignited, the heat and smoke would have been drawn outward, and ample time given the inmates of the rooms to have escaped. This one precaution might have suficed, but in addition had the elevator shaft been sheathed with sheet iron, and the doorways from it protected by auto matic wooden doors cased in tin, there would have been no doubt about it.
 MT. Atkinson thinks, and rightly too. that greed and the ineapacity of architects and builders are at the bottom of the defects in 1 buildings. Especially greed. For this state
 
 | except the legal liability of the lessees and owners of every building for every loss of life and injury to person which happens in the property owned or occupied by them. ''Those who are thus held liable," he points l out, s'can then combine to insure themselves from avoidable losses by means of proven. ] ton through landlords liability insurance company. The inquest of the fire marsha in case of fire should go back of the mere &C., cident by which it may have been started tc the original cause, almost always to be found in the negligence of those who should pre- pare against such accidents" MT. Atkinson closes his letter with the suggestion that i I might be we'll to call hearing before tn judiciary committee, and if they were pro tected from harm in consequence of thei testimony 'ten men could be summoned il the city of Boston whose testimony woul cause the community to shudder in horro and amazement at the dangers which are to1 erated because no sufficient attention ha
 been called to them"
 It is much the same in any city. A goo
 fire department is very good thing, bu
 safe buildings are better.

EVOLUTION OF THE TABLE.

 Board Has Been LiEhsened-The
 Joints and Vegetables Banished-
 Flowers Alone Left Nm SiRht-Deserip-
 ton of a Grand Banquet Given By
 Am American woman Hn London.
 From the London Daily Nens.]
 The modern dinner table is a wonderful contrast, in the matter of lightness and beauty, to that at which our grandfathers and grandmothers sat some years ago, when it was the fashion for the board to groan un- der the weight of huge joints, game pies of enormous sizs, and poultry 10 match the rest Even in our fathers time there was some remnant left on the table of the porten tous signs of open-handed hospitality, when it was considered the correct thing for the hostess to carve for everyone and to exhaust herself in pressing her guests to eat, while it was no less the duty of the host to pass the bottle much more frequently than was good for himself or his friends. With such dis play of food there was little room for floral decorations, a large epergne in the center usually fulfilling every requirement in this. direction.
 By degrees, however, the fashions of other countries tempered our own. First the veg etables were 'banished from the table and
 
 made dishes were dubbed entrees and they too were cleared off the sides of the table and, sensibly enough, were brought up and sent round while piping het. Soon after the dinner a Ia Russe was adopted by the wealthy in it's entirety and all the carrying was done at side tables behind g screen. With this mode that of permitting the guests to eat or not to eat, just as they liked, was adopted, and it became "bad form" to discuss the vi. ands, which our grandfathers' diners were them, besides complimenting the hostess on her abilities in carving. Nowadays no one dreams of insisting that anyone shall eat more than he feels inclined to do.
 And net only in the manner of the table, but in it's appearance, there is 8 radical change. The floral decorations are frequent ly of the costliest and most elaborate descrip tion. Even when money is not lavishly spent, taste, thought and time are devoted to the arrangement of the flowers. Autumn leaves and berries, till lately unconsidsred trihes as primroses were, have recently been bracken fern, by autumn's Fiery finger turned to gold, are dyed and pressed, and during winter months come out fresh and glowing with color, to be used as background to brightly tinted hethouse blooms. It has be- come quite remunerative occupation to ar range the floral decorations of dinner table, and only last year several of the clubs had friendly competition in this respect. At re- cent dinner given by an American lady of enormous wealth, now resident in London, the flowers were so exqui- site, so costly and so tastefully arranged as

A good Coat helps us out and sets us be- fore the world in good trim. Man owes it to himself to ward off early-year chiIls, and he owes it to his neighbor to dress well. Every thing neat and tidy, every man well dressed, adds to the pleasure of all. We come at once to the point and introduce what may prove to be valuable acquaintance and companion, namely, our
 Putnam Spring OVercOats, in two colors, or styles, to suit complexions "a dark and light. Considering the price of these coats they are head and shoulders above anything offered. Stylish makeup and shapely fit. Durability is strong fea- ture. They have been sold elsewhere for $10 and $12. You may choose the dark mixture or the silver gray for $7.50.
 EngIfsl, COyerls.

 The Great Medium. l This is our Pomeroy overcoat, light weight for spring wear. It has satin sleeve lining and is silk faced. The goods have Scotch l finish. As coat for all purposes it is at the price simply incomparable. It will stand much rough wear and still look well. A twelve dollar bill will buy it. If you have not $12 bill we will take other money.
