4 NarroM EseaDe.

Somebody has been trying to prove
that war is not so dangerous, on the
whole, as some other agents of destruc-
ton; however that may be, its perils
are not confined to those in action, as
the following anecdote demonstrates !:
There were some narrow escapes among
those who were off duty in camp. One
day solid shot, with unmannerly
rudeness, came bounding into camp,
passing through a group of soldiers
who had just collected for their warm
ratiOns. At the same instant it pros
trated the cook, demolished the mess
kettle, ana irreverentIy baptized the
best flag with bean pOrridge. The
cook proved to be only temporarily
killed" by the gravel which the shot
had thrown against him, and was soon
able to resume his work. About the
same time a sick soldier was lying in
his tent, with his knapsack for a pillow.
He was supposed to be quite out of
harms way, but q solid shot, styled by
the boys a pickle from its resem-
blance IN size and shape to a cucum-
Der, struck the knapsaek and carried it
clean away. The only Inconvenience
to the Invalid was the loss of the KNAPP
sack and the sudden letting down Of
his head. AS the pillow was scarcely
thicker than the missile, this might be
called literally a hair-breadth escape.

THE result of the inquiries recently
made as to the sanitary arrangements
connected with the trade of baking in
England is anything but reassuring.
Bakeries are said to exist in Manches-
ter, where the cleanliness which should
obtain in the preparation Of food is i'm
possible. Some of the bakers complain
that the machinery now used takes "the
flavor out Of the bread. They prefer
the old method of dancing on the
dough" One of the commissioners of
inquiry naturally expressed a hope that
"the men washed their feet, and was
cheerfully assured that they did after
the bread was made, as otherwise they
could not put their boots on aga in.

been commissioned to the task, "and 1
despaired of ever finding enough Of
the same to cover the train. Every
morning when / wakened I thought of
that train, three metres long, to be
covered with two lengths of Alencon,
which is as rare as black pearls. The
lace Is fine, fine, fine !" she added, with
French enthusiasm, "and If 1t goes to
the bottom of the sea I can never re-
place it at any price, for there IS no
more to be found.
The famous robe Is now approaching
its destination, insured for nearly
20,OO0f., which is about half its value,
and a duty Of z, 500f. has been paid at
the New York Custom House. The
handkerchief of the Alencon lace alone
cost 1,500f The cream white satin
was especially ordered from Lyons at
an immense price. The satin hangs
straight from the waist in the back,
forming a long train covered with the
costly lace. The front Of the skirt is
simply draped and around the bottom
is a festoOned foUnce of lace in Louis
XVI drapery, held by punches Of
orange blossoms. The high corsage IS
held to a point below the waist and has
no trimming, but a high stiffened
Medicis collar of lace, slightly opened
in front to show the throat.
The sleeves are of white satin, large
and full at the top, covered from
shoulder to wrist with lace. Over all
this wealth of satin and lace falls the
cloud of white tulIe fastened to the
crown Of the head by a bunch of orange
blossoms, arranged and sent with the
robe. The tulle veil "poetizes" the
whole costume, and the robe is, per-
haps, the handsOmest and most costly

is on foot in st. Petersburg which, if
carried out, will certainly leave Amer

have railway entirely worked by

with ArehangeI and spanning a wide
stretch of country between the Baltic
and the White Sea. The project is said
to be backed by ArchangeI interests,
and the name of Siemens & Go. is con-

is to furnish the current from a series
of generating stations distributed
along the IEne. The distance is some
thing over 500 miles, and the estimated
cost over $4,000 per mile. including

is Just back from England, and while
there he met Miss Tenant at reception
of artistic people. She talked with him
about the technical difficulties Of youth

ton she drew three sketches.
Il made notes in my mind. while IN the
streets to-day, of two figures that shall
some time introduce into q painting, she
said. They we're a ragged flower ped
dler and a stylish purchaser. The ped
der was like this, and she sketched the
girl who appears in the initial OF this
article.
When that was done she rapidly and
deity penciled a representation of the
girl whom she had observed buying the
flowers. In preparing these original
studies for publication the lines have
merely been traced over with black ink,
to render them fit for the process of en-
craving. The second one will serve ex-
cellently as a fashion plate, too, since
Miss Tenant said Of it:
The buyer. as you see, was clad in the
very latest approved costume for the
street, and an artistic toilet it is, cOmbin-
ing simplicity and prettiness. It is a sad
fact to see, among fashiOnables here in
London, that the children Of the day
who pervRde at homes, dinner parties,
and even balls, have ceased to be as the
child-like children of ones youth. No
longer are they rOmping, merry, natural

pleasures and each others society, but,

little ones are requisite in the manufac-

material they are apt to be about as plain
and simple as though made by the hands
Of poor mothers for their offspring. But
the dominant touch of style is impaired
by means of a uniquely artistic hat or
cap, and these articles are not only pro-
