Facts About Prominent Women.
In New York the fashionable widow not
only attres herself in the habiliments Of woe,
but loves to adorn every triile-he lingerie,
scent glass, umbrella handle and penholder--
with bow of black purple OF mauve Slip
pers, purse, blotting pad, prayer, letter and
bank book are all bound in ebony leather;
her ieweled watch is incased in Steel and any
iewelry worn on her fingers, wrists or neck is
of blackened silver or platinum No flower
but the pure white lily is allowed to perfume
her room, and she will endure nothing but
the odor of violets to scent her sachets.
But this is not all. The leader of fashion
summons the upholsterer as soon as the I'M
dertaker has been dismissed, and at once the
ori0le suite is considered. The idea crigi-
nat ed in England, and the American mimics
have improved upon it. Black and yellow
are the colors for chamber and boudoir. The

In the English laundrics educated women,
ladies', are now being employed, not ms actual
laundresses they are not called upon to scrub
the clothes with their own hands, especially
since machinery has now relieved washing of
much of its drudgery, They are, however,
expected to have thorough mastery of
every portion of laundry work, to see that
all the employees execute their tasks with
care, 80 that delicate cambrcs, musins and
fine embroideries are not destroyed by igno-
rant carelessness in the wash. They are ex-
pected to introduce the best methods into the
work and to keep the books 1t is customary

Not every woman is so mindful of the eter-
nal fitness of things as one who is daily seen
on Fifth avenue. She has one street gown in
grays, from the top of her little gray toque
to her gray CATERS. And when she wears
the gray costume she is always accompanied
by u small Italian greyhound, whose coat is
of exactly the shade of her costume. About
his neck is an oxidzed silver collar, to which
is attached a long silver chain fastened to her
own silver girdle.
Her other promenade costume is wonder
full combination of red brown and gold, and
so is the dog that goes with it. He is an lrist
setter whose silky brown coat exactly matches
the tint of hers. About his neck is gold
collar with gold chain attached, by which
she leads him.-New York Evening Sun.

Mechanical refrigeration has been success
fully applied in the laying of piers for
bridges, where treacherous silt and quicksand
make excavation by the ordinary methods
difficult; the semi-fuid material at the bot

cation of pure brine and removed while still
solid. 1t seems probable that the same meth
cd may be of service in tpnneling through
such materials in the beds of rivers Indeed,
the fields of usefulness of processes for the
production of artificial cold are being extend

take an even more important place in the in

EngIish Girls Defeat American Men.

DR.. Peter McSwinny, surgeon of the In
man steamship City of Chicago, tells me that
there were among the passengers of shat ship,
bound for New York several years ago, a
large contingent of the Wilson Barrett dra-
matte troupe One day, for the purpose OF
wearing away the time, it was suggested that
a certain number of the Englishmen aboard
pull tug of war against an equal number of
the Americans aboard The proposition met
with general approval and the contest took
place, the Americans making very poor
showing against their sturdier cousins. There
upon the young women of the Barrett com
pany-there were about dozen OF them
challenged an equal number of the American
gentlemen to a tug of war, and, the challenge
being accepted, the way those girls yanked
those men o7er that deck was outrageous tc

LOW Cost of Gas Stoves.

In ordinary cooking stoves, from six to
eight feet of gas an hour for each burner is
sufficient for the burners used for boiling,
frying, etc from twelve to twenty feet per
hour for roasting and broilmg; from six to
twelve feet per hour for heating. If it is de
sired to reduce the consumption to less than
the above figures, all that is necessary is to
turn the gas partly Off. To arrive at the
cost of the gas used in any burner, per hour,
all that is needed is the price and quantity
used Example: If u two burner stove Is
used Just an hour and the burners using six
feet of gas each, it would consume twelve
feet in that time-a fair average. Gas at
Sleeper thousand feet, which is also fair,
would he sixteen cents per hundred feet
or | G-10 mills per foot, or | 92-iOO cents
the total cost of running o stove OF this size
one hour This estimate is for a two burner
or double stove For single burner stove,
it would be one-half the cost, or 96-lOO Of a
cent per hour If larger burners are used
than six feet, as is usually the case in heating
stoves, the cost increases in the same proper
ton, but it should be borne in mind that the
more gas used the more heat is obtained. -

OLD "TIGER."
A Picture of the Famous Wall Street Dog
That Adorns DelmOnicO's.

A Picture of the Famous Wall Street Dog
That Adorns DeImOnicO's.
In the new downtown Delmonico's place
of honor is accorded to an oil painting CT
rather common looking dog-a cross between
mastiff and cur, which had, however, very
remarkable history. Old Tiger" was well
known in Wall street. For many years he
had the run of the famous hosiery and cafe,
and it used to be said of him that he knew
every phase of the market just as well as
though he could read the tickers
Tiger had his favorites among the frequent
ers of the place, and he would show his pref
erence by sitting beside the men he respected
and sharing their lunch; but never under
any circumstances would he accept tidbit
from the hands of a man who had once been
discourteous to him. He was the guardian of
the restaurant and no other animal was per-
mitted to enter it while he was around.
When Charles Delmonico, who was very
fond of the old dog, persisted among the
Orange mountains several years ago, Tiger
was inconsolable He went moping about,
and his famous appetite and his spirit were
broken together. A furtive bite was all he
cared for after that sad event, and he turned
up his knowing nose in melancholy fashion
at the danties with which they sought to
tempt him back to the enjoyment of material
things. Brokers who knew the brute have
actually declared that Tiger was several
times surprised weeping canine tearsl But
then Wall street men are sentimental and
imaginative as a rule.
One day Tiger, who had been on a hunger
strike of unusual duration, reached out his
gaunt yellow Jaws and took from the pile at
the end of the lunch counter of the old
Beaver street establishment a sandwich con-
tanning thin slice of beef tongue. An un
sympathetic waiter yelled at him and kicked
him. OF itself 1t was but a trifle. In other
days Tiger would have responded to this
familiarity by cheerfully biting off portion
of the garcons anatomy nearest to him; but
now-alas! the bowed spirit was indeed
broken. With the iron in his SOUL Tiger
gave parting glance at his old home, ano
setting his tail resolutely between his legs,
made a bee line for the dock at the foot OF
Rector street.
There, in the cold and turbid North river
he sought surcease from the struggle of life
| If ever there was deliberate suicide outside
of the human race, the death of this dog was
one-so, at least say the brokers' and John
| Longhi and Addison Cammack affirm 1t
The old dog had gone to follow his master.
1t was long afterward that the lineament'
of Tigers face and neck were commemorate
on canvas. The painting cost in the neigh
borhood of So coo, and it hangs where all the
/ bulls and bears can see it as they eat theil
| luncheon. 1t is a valued possession of thu
| Delmonicos, and they would not part with
for kings ransom.-New York Letter il

nnrp Playing in New York.

There are nearly hundred ladies in New
York who are skilful performers upon the
harp Five years ago there were less than
dozen. But it is only among the wealthiest
that the new craze can be INDUCED, for 1T is
most expensive one. The Little Grecian,
the cheapest of harps, costs $500; the semi
grand, $3.50, and the grand" $1,000. Be
sides they are hard TO keep in condition, their
trim being affected by every change in the
weather and having to be renewed at least
every second year. The 'semi-grand" is the
popular fayorite. Some ladies who practice
daily wear out a harp altogether in couple
of years, the whole mechanism going to pieces
under the high tension of French concert
pitch. Philadelphia Times

She was a young married woman who oc-
cuped a very unique position, inasmuch as
after five years of married life her husband
was more in love with her than he was when
he first married her. She kept quiet during
the long discussion as to marriage, but at
last, calmly stirring her tea, she said in a
low, sweet voice: ~ have never said much
on that wonderful question, is marriage a
