warning, "Danger-do not walk on these
stairs" which some benevolent carpenter
had posted at their foot the day I was
there, struck me as timely.
The accompanying glimpse of the stair.
case shows some of its quaint features; The
balcony with its broad seat overlooking the
first flight, aud the carved newell posts with
the rails of the balustrade wound about
them. At the first landing-there is a sort
fhalf landing below 1.-THE stairs take a
turn at right angles for a brief distance and
then start on their final flight to the second
floor at a like angle.
Illuminating the stairs and sending soft,
rich hight into every corner of the hall be-
low, great window OF stained glass over
looks the FIRST landing 1t is no longer
necessary to go to Europe for fine stained
glass, or to bemoan as lost the art by which
the Old World artists gave cathedrals the
glory of heaven in their windows. This
window, executed by Tiffany, of New York,
is simply exquisite.
a Wonderful Picture in Glass.
Some idea of the beauty of form in its CEN
tral and predominant figure may be had
from the line sketch published in this coll
umn. but OF its surprising beauty as to color
neither words nor black and white illustra-
tion can adequately tell. Looking up the
stairs from the marble-foored hall you see
this tall goddess, may be of youth aud
beauty, robed in a flowing gown of classic
cut but not scantiness, effused with pur-
pie light, such as comes at the last hour be-
fore sunset on a summer day, standing be-
meath bough of apple blossoms upon a
meadow green, and extending her arms
with eyes uplitted in gesture half of well
come half of seraphic joy. The tones of this
picture in glass form a soft and harmonious
chord with the woodwork and mural decora-
tion. The coloring of tine panes actually
appears to increase the windows lumi-
Mostly.
Stained glass too often produces gloom,
and while ga dim religious light" is all
very well under certain circumstances, it is
not the thing for the hail OF dwelling
house The window is bisec.ed in the upper
part by a panel of carved wood, above
which more stained glass in an arched de-
sign within rectangular frame appears.
Finished in White Mahogany.
The finest room to the left of the hall as
you emerge from the vestibule is the draw
ing room, which is entered through an
arched doorway. The doors slide easily
apart-all the interior doors slide into the
walls, by the way-and you enter a spacious
apartment semicircular at the front end,
which is pierced for four lofty windows.
The walls are upholstered in gold-fgured
satin. The woodwork is all white mahog-
any, which resembles maple in color and

FIRE This drill was also accomplished In
only q minute, aud at the commands,
KNOCK off, and "Make upr' the hose
pipes were promptly disconnected, the pipe
that is always kept attached to the hydrant
was ''faked down" and an extra 100 feet
''coiled up" on the blight with astonishing
rapidity.
The drills are genuine realities, and the
students thoroughly enjoy them. The
small sets of fire equipments are used here
to great advantage, for, If there should be q
little outbreak of fire in one of the rooms or
minor passages, the girl who occupies the
room, or who happens to be nearest it, has
but to raise the. alarm, take the nearest
hand pump and begin playing on the fire.
Each of the pumps is kept filled with
water; in use, the handle is worked quickly
up and down with one hand, while the
other holds the jet. With each hand fire
engine there are kept four leather buckets
full of water, and as the water is exhausted
in the engine cistern it is replenished from
the buckets by chain of girls formed to
the nearest water supply; the full and
empty buckets pass from hand to hand and
thus the jet is kept going continuously,
until the fire is extinguished.
Sliding Down n Canvas Chute.
But Mr.. Merryweather's work did not
end here; there must be safe way of escape
for women in case of danger, as well as
way of prevention. Possible Mr.. Merry
weather's way may look trif1e terrifying,
but wait and read. The ''Merryweather
Chute" consists of tube of specially woven

on, a Ia conservative method; each squad is
responsible, too, for its own hydrant, or If
there are many hydrants in close proximity,
for two hydrants Each girl is taught the
escape drill, and after few trials no more
terror is engendered by the thought of de-
scending thus feet foremost from a window
80 feet above the ground than by the thought
of walking downstairs.
The fire apparatus for private residences
is generally the same as the small apparatus
in Holloway College, or else like the bou-
doir set of which have told you.
give here the details of another drill,
Of j. Blundell Maple, Childwickbury, st.
Albans, laundry fire brigade has been
formed. and its drill is perfectly adaptable
to any similar building. The women there
have hand fire engine that, ON alarm. is
run out of the laundry to pond; suction
hose is attached, and delivery hose is laid
down; the levers are "manned" by women,
and a jet is thrown upon and over the build
ing. The brigade practices every month,
the head laundrymaid experimenting.
Nurses Fighting tho Flames.
Among the declared patronesses of this
movement, ladies who have studied it most
carefully and then adopted it at their own
homes and on their premises are: Her
Majesty Queen Victoris, Her Royal High
ness the Princess of Wales, Her Imperial
Majesty the Empress Eugenie, the Duch-
esses of Cleveland, Marlborough, Rox-
burgh and Argyle; the Warehouses; of
Breadalbane, Hertford, Downshire and
Lond onderry; the Countess of Londes-
borough, Lady Sheffield, Baroness Roths-
child, Baroness Burdette and many others.
For dress, the drillers have thus far OBJ
served these simple rules: plain skirt
not TOO tull-of dark blue serge, heavy,
warm, woollen underclothing, no corsets or
very loose ones, blouse waists and sailor
hats. 1t is a very pretty uniform, but the
adoption of the divided skirt or gymnastic
costume is under advisement.
THEo TRACY.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-04-03

kitchen-the room is all marble-there i.
nothing that the eye of a man remarks a.
extraordinary. Doubtless the range aud 9
| singular location of the boiler would drive
| housewife into ecstasies, but to a man al
| these things look alike.
Before leaving the ground floor it should
be remarked that all the floors are of wood
cunningly inlaid, the chandeliers and
brackets are from special de-
signs in gilt and silver and steel.
while the globes are all of cut glass and
made especially for Mrs Guskv. The house
maids will notice with delight, dare say,
that these costly globes, pear-shsped OF
circular with their rare cravings, are mostly
enclosed in network of metal.
The upper regions of this remarkable
dwelling are on par with the reception
rooms so far as luxurious and artistic
appointments 20. When you reach the
second floor you find yourself in hall
almost as spacious as the one below, and
wainscotted Ii Ike the other with maple. The
carving and polish of the wood astonish one
again, and new view of the grand staircase
and the stained glass window attests afresh
the artistic excellence Of both.
A Bower for q Fairy Queen.
The doorways here also are arched One
of them leads into room that fairy queen
would feel quite at home in. The walls are
covered with blue silk brocade and panels
of maple The mantel is of maple also,
fioridly carved, with sky blue tiles set in
the fireplace. A silver chandelier, with
gracefully shaped cut glass globes, depends
from the frescoed ceiling of heavenly blue
The room has swell front, that is to say,
the windows are arranged in semi-circle.
A door to the left leads to a dress
ing room of similar decoration, only
the woodwork this time is of bird 's-eye
maple, another beautiful variety of the
wood which has been used to such good
effect all through the house. These two
rooms are designed for Mrs. Gusky's use
Across the hall at the head of the stairs
is-the guest chamber, lovely room, very
large and looking all the larger by reason
of its pale green tints and white and gold
woodwork. The mantel is in the colonial
style, white and gold, with cream-colored
tile hearths.
But one might describe every room on
the second and third floors without repeat
ing oneself Every bedroom is picture in
itself, and the variety of hard woods used is
at once astonishing and effective.
Some Other Interior Decorations
Enough has been described to convey
