a Bishop wheeling a Barrow.

A story is told of Canon Creighton
during his residence in Worcester. One
day, passing down street in one of the
poorer quarters of the town, he saw an
old woman endeavoring to wheel heavy
barrow filed with coal up an alley. The
wheel of the barrow would not, in spite
of all her feeble efforts, be forced over
the edge of the parapet between the
opening and the street. Canon Creigh-
ton saw the situation, deposited his UNI
brella in a doorway and took the old
creature out of the shafts of the barrow
Then he addressed himself to the task,
and in a moment more the load Of fuel
was trundling briskly down the alley in
front of the future bishop.-Exchange.

TILES for DscoratIom

There is nothing more satisfactory
than tiles, either from an aesthetic or
utilitarian view. Every one is familiar
nowadays with tiles as facing to fire
places and as hearths. The greatest OBJ
lection to tiling is its cost. 1t is not at
all difficult matter to set tiles One of
the first essentials is that they be per-
fectly matched in size. There is often
considerable difference in the dimen-
sions and thickness of those of the same
size and make. A facing of tiles the
depth of an ordinary wainscot is very
pretty and easily kept clean. When
purchased by the quantity the average
price of plain white tile six inches
square is only ten cents each.
A decorated or shaded tile may be pur-
chased from twenty-five cents upward.
A decorated tile alternating with plain
tile gives very pretty effect. A medley
of colors is not effective Blue and white
tiling is always pretty for room facing.
A piece of this work above the kitchen
sink seems to brighten up very dark
and unattractive room. Nowhere is til
ing prettier or more useful than in the
bathroom, where it may form the facing
of the walls and even the flooring.
American manufacturers are making
very attractive tiles in relief and in
plain shaded effects.-New York Trib-

A SUGGESTION.
A Flower Festival on Wheels for the
President.


EDITORS HERALD Il should like to
offer suggestion to make the visit OF
the president memorable to him, and
leave with him a lasting impression of
our city of flowers.
The idea 1 advance is to introd duce
flower festival on wheels; to invite all
citizens who own carriages to decorate
them with flowers and foliage, leaving
designs to their ingenuity. The carri-
ages could be occupied by children in
holiday attire, and as they pass in re-
view before the president they could
throw bouquets or cut flowers to him. If
this idea is carried out with enthusiasm,
one of the grandest, most unique sights
could be presented to the president
which he ever witnessed. The designs
could be introduced with little cost and
only little trouble, but would repay
thousandfold the trouble of decorating
the carriages. Photographs of this part
of the procession could be presented to
the president at some future time, in
neat form, and would be lasting and
an agreeable remembrance of Los An
geles.
In order to carry out this idea, if ac-
ceptable, it would be necessary to ap-
point committee to get at least the
assurance of twenty carriages to make
it success. MAX MEYBERG.

GROUP.
Some Reading That Will Prove Inter-
esting to Young Mothers-How to
Guard Against the Disease.

Group is the terror of young mothers,
especially during the winter months, as
it is then most prevalent. To post
them concerning the cause, first symp-
toms, treatment and how to prevent it,
is the object of this article.
The origin OF Group is a common cold.
Children are subject to taking cold very
easily, and Group is almost sure to fol-
low. The first symptom of Group is
hoarseness; it is peculiar hoarseness,
easily recognized and once heard al
ways remembered. Usually day or
two before the attack the child becomes
hoarse, and gradually shows symptoms
of having taken cold, and this is where
the mistake is usually made. The
mother thinking her child has just
taken cold gives it no especial attention
until awakened in the night by the vio-
lent coughing of the child, finds it has
the Group, and remembers it has had
cold or been hoarse for day or two.
Such circumstances often occur, and in
many cases the mother has nothing in
the house that will relieve it, and may
be several miles from physician or
drug store. You can we'll imagine the
situation and her distress. The time to
act is when the child first becomes
hoarse or shows symptoms of having
taken cold; if Chamberlain Cough
Remedy is freely given from that time
on, all tendency to Group will disappear
and all danger be avoided. The remedy
prevents fully ten thousand cases OF
Group every year. 1t is the main reli-
ance with many mothers throughout
the Western States and Territories they
have learned its value and how to use it,
and in those families Group is seldom
known because it is always prevented.

rival in the old State of Virginia, as Miss
Gallatin, one of her daughters, has made So
distinguished a success OF the beau
tlful but fated Juliet. Within the
memory of many an old resident
of Richmond, there was no greater favor
tie in the Old stock companies than John
Sleeper Clarke. 1t is son Of his. CrestOn
Clarke, that will now support Miss Gallatin.
His debut in Hamlet was hstriOnic
event, and was made, by his own choice
and that OF his friends, in the Richmond
Theatre, and was a notable success. The
character Of Romeo is exactly suited o.
