than the getting rid of it when no

company with it at the nearest branch
TEA room will prove the successful kew
note of the revived scheme. When
umbrellas were first introduced into
France, toward the close of the seven
teenth century, they were exclusively
reserved for the use of ladies' "A gen

effeminacy. 1t was the parasol which
gave birth to the umbrella, and a
parasol two centuries ago was as much
family heirloom as lace and jewelry.
1t was embroidered BY the owner be-
came a thing Of beauty, and so JOY
forever. French ladies in the sixteenth
century, who as spectators followed
deer hunts, carried parasols fringed
with gold and ornamented With
costly pearls. Walters at cafes and
restaurants once supplied clients with
umbrellas, counting upon gratuity in
exchange, but negligence in returning
umbrellas ruined the convenience.
For a short time in France, when phi
vate undertakers existed, it was-as it
is at present considered evidence of
greater respect for the deceased to
follow on foot instead of riding in
carriage. The undertaken kept
supply of black umbrellas, Familiarity
called "mortuaries," that he presented
to foot mourners did rain set in. A
mute collected as many of the UNI
brellas as he could as the recipients
passed through the cemetery gate.
But the item for compensation for I'M
returned umbrellas in the undertaker's
bill became so extravagant that funeral
umbrellas had to be abandoned because
that funerals on wet days were always
the best attended. Perhaps if the
fashion had existed when Mozart died
the composers friends would not have
failed TO attend his funeral, despite the
rain, and posterity would thus have
known the whereabouts of the resting
place of the celebrity. AS Anthony

of the day, it may be apropos to state
that excepting Anthony's equation

queen was cherished as the most pre-

the Cluny museum an umbrella pre-
scented by the Portuguese to Louis
XIV. which weighs six pounds 1t
had to be carried by valet, similarly
as seigneurs had foot boys to carry
their turnip watches. Louis Nv. had
quite a collection of parasols, so that
he might have been called, like his

Enjoy Relng Chea ed.

When a sensible young man, who
had given q dinner TO three of his
friends in a private room of a fashion
able restaurant, received bill for the
repast amounting to a hundred dol
lars, he paid it, says the New York
san, with the remark that he did not
belong to that order of young snobs
that enjoyed being cheated, and
should take good care to go elsewhere
for his banquets in the future. Speak
ing of the matter to some of his
friends later, the young man said:
Although that restaurant is first
class in its equipment, and serves its
patrons in the most perfect style, vet
it is not for that reason it Is favorite
with the very swell young men of the
town. Galley and his friends haunt
the place because they are charged
enormous prices there for what they
are served. There is actually large
element of rich and vulgar men in New
York of the Galley stamp, and if they
are not allowed to pay absurdly high
prices for things, they imagine they are
getting second class goods. Iou will
hear young dude boast of how he
pays 81 apiece for his cigars, and 81
for bit of duck. But it is in those
private dinners that the swell snob
revels He goes and gives an order
for dinner for four, SIX or eight peo-
Pile. as the case may be, observes care
lessly TO the manager that of course he
is to have carte blanche in getting up
the repass in handsome styie. and
thinks no more about it, The dinner
is delicious, you may be sure, and all
the guests are delighted Now. if the
restaurant-keeper were to hand in an
anywhere near reasonable bill the
snob would rather doubt the quality
Of that dinner: so it is necessary to
charge him three or four times what it
is really worth. He is Extensively
rich, and he pays the excessive bill
with great deal of pride. He has
disposed of 5000 or $500 in one meal,
and that is his idea of splendid living.
These are the men that fix the prices
at the ultra-fashionable restaurants,
and if chap comes along who isn't
made of money. but might afford to be
just little bit cheated, he is barred
from doing the elegant in a modest
way because there are any number of
snobs ready to engage the rooms at a
much higher rate of robbery"

THE sRAKEMAN'S YELL
To he S.sard No More ON Grand Trunk
Trains.


The Grand Trunk Railway Company
has Just introduced an innovation on
its system that cannot but commend
itself to the travelling public as an inn
provement long In lequest-one that
will be a great convenience to passen-
gers and make travelling decidedly
more comfortable for those who do not
know the various places through which
their trains run, and who are unable
to interpret the often unintelligible an
nouncements of the brakeman. 1T Is a
railroad station indicator, al apparatus
that records the names of the different
stations. and which has just been
introduced at the headquarters in
Montreal.
Seemingly, the machine is a very
simple continuance. A nicely finished
frame of polished wood, placed in
prominent view at both ends Of the
car, contains number of thin iron or
tin plates. each plate painted with the
name of the station in characters legi-
BILE in any part OF the car. The names
of the stations are placed in the order
in which the train passes through them.
AS each station is passed the conduc-
tor pushes n lever on the indicator, a
gong sounds and the previous plate
drops, expressing the words. The next
station is" whatever the coming
place may be. This is repeated after
every station, so that a passenger has
only to look at the indicator to discover
at any time the name of town or city
which the train is approaching. The
convenience and advantages Of such an
invention are too obvious 10 need emu
meIation.
The continual cry from tie travelling
public for some method of MAXIM,
known the names of the stations, other
than by the admittedly unsuccessful
way of having the brakeman call them
out, has led 10 many attempts to in
vent such an apparatus, but none has
given satisfaction up to the present
time. The railway station indicator OF
the Allison Company, however, appar-
emily meets all requirements, and it
had no sooner been brought before the
notice of the Grand frank officials than
they considered it necessary to their
road, with the result that Mr.. Allison
has received contract TO fit up every
passenger car on the Grand Trunk
system, both in Canada and the United
States, with these instruments. Be
sides being used TO denote the name of
the stations, the company Is also in
geniously using it as an advertising
medium, for on the back Of each plate
is painted the name and business Of Il
prominent firm. Then as the plate
falls this advertisement is displayed,
remaining until another card falls,
when different name comes in view,
and so on This indicator is the most
prominent furnishing in the car, catch
ing the eye immediately on ones en-
trance, and the sounding of the gong
as each card is changed ha the inva,i-
able effect of attracting the attention
of those in the car.-hamiitOH Spec
