Under the present system OF street

decks, the upper projecting rufilcient'

be distributed by the trimmers who
keep the vessel ON an even keel. The
trimmers nIso select every thing OF
value with the greatest care; rags, fat,
bone, metal, paper stock, etc, being
stored on the lower deck Of the dock.
This silver and jewelry form no small
item OF the cOntrautOf's pTofit, anu tue
total value ola soowload is estimated
at nn average OF 500.
The space between the dock plat
forms IL often closed In with ODDS and

miserable habitation by the trimmers,
men and women, who thus herd to-

BEDROOM FURNISHINGS.

They Should Ec Simple but Neat, and
Scrupulcusly Clean.
In furnishing a bedroom we must
remember that we have to do with the
lungs of the house and. therefore, must
place no distractions to the entrance
of pure fresh air. For this reason cur
tains may be more properly dispensed
with in this room than in any other.
The bedstead should be of metal. Very
pretty ones are now made of iron
enameled in different colors with gilt
or brass knobs. The most restful color
for the eyes and brain is green. The
curtains. if they can be afforded. should
be of the Japanese crepe, which is
daintiness itself in this coloring. Be-
sides the bedstead n small chiffonier
and a deep chest of drawers. with two
chairs, are all that will be required, but
a washstand and screen to stand before
it are desirable additions. Above the
chest of drawers long. narrow mirror
can be hung crossways, and You have
a serviceable combination of bureau
and drcssing-table. 1t is better judg-
ment to invest in comfortable springs,
ma ttress. pillows and blankets than to
fritter money away on painted cologne
bottles and ella borate tOilet-sets. Tho
coverings of chiffonier, bureau, wash
stand ard bed should be easily laun-
dered. for absolute cleanliness is one of
the conditions of restfui sleep.-Ladies'

duction of few gay colored cushions
of different shapes and sizes. A sofa
cushion is the one thing which can be
made at home and be as effective and
pretty as if bought at fashionable
shop. There is no art or science about
it; just given the knowledge to sew up
a seam and the taste to combine pretty
colors, and your cushion is made and
will be thing of beauty and a joy"
for as long as it lasts.
The heart shape cushion is always
popular. An exceedingly pretty one
which occupies prominent position in
the drawing-room of the beautiful
Mrs. Duncan Elliot, of New York, is
of pale blue satin, embroidered richly
but daintily with gold and silver
thread. The edges are of pulled
pink silk, and where this joins the satin
a fine twisted cord of silver and gold is
sewed, with little knots and loops at
intervals of two or three inches. For
general use on a sofa or divan where
lounging is the order of the hour pill
lows filed with cotton, soft scraps of
cheese cloth or odds and ends of silk

Some of the long cloth cloaks arc

heavy satins and velvets. These are

thrust for safe-keeping till wanted.
This trait is not confined to either sex
Or to any age. Many fond mother
will cry out in alarm at the sight OF
her child running about with play
thing in its mouth, yet the chances
are that if this same mother should
an hour later have occasion to pay
her fare on a public conveyance, she
would fish out. from some ridiculous
receptacle called purse, small coin.
which she would hold between her
lips till ready to make some other dis
position of it-and this regardless OF
the fact that on an average the coin
had been travelling about the country
for from fifteen to twenty years, dur
ing which time il had beer in all sorts
of places and amid all kinds of sur
roundings. This observation is true
of many other things than small coins,
and of fathers as well as of mothers.
Some of the most painful instances
possible have recently illustrated the
danger of this habit. The horrible
death of a well-beloved clergyman,
the result of swallowing a small cork
which he was holding between his
lips, is fresh in mind: and at this writ
ing a man in Albany has his lungs
filed with tacl1s which he swallowed
in similar manner. lie was holding
them between his lips, while putting
down n carpet. ard inhaled them in
laughing at the remark of some one
present. He now lies at the point of
death. and no earthly power can aid
him. Surely these illustrations and
the suggestions which they invariably
call up. ought to be sufficient reason
why no thinking person should ever
make a temporary receptacle OF the
mouth for foreign substances.-Good

ished the edge of the skirt, which was
walking length. A jacket, lined with
red gold silk. and edged with light
brown fur. accompanied the costume,
which was intended for luncheons, call
ing or home dinners.
To be worn with this was a felt
toque of the same shade of brown,
with a bunch of ostrich tips in the
light yellow color, with ties of iri-
descent ribbon, and buckle of pre-
cious stones. reproducing all the colors
in the costume.
1t is discordant fact that women
will not wear millinery Intended for
their individual needs. The society
leader selects a hat that is only fit for
the opera to wear with carriage cos
tune. The woman who walks is sure
to purchase hat fit only to wear in a
carriage. Everybody remarked on the
craze for sailor hats this summer, but
when women of forty-five adopted
them they killed the style with ridi.
Guile.
am sure there are all styles in the
milliner's shop to suit all conditions
and purses, but it is useless for madame
herself to try and influence n customer
to buy what is becoming to her. Stand
ing between two plate-glass mirrors
the customer is guided by the caprice
of the moment.
The pretty girls-the rosebrds-are
all in love with the duchess of Devon

the picture hat. 1t is large round
shape with many dropping feathers,
not all like the original which the
beautiful duchess really wore. but very
distinguished looking and becoming.
Then the black felts with yellow
Innings and a couple of wings
stretched across the front are jaunty
and fetching on the swagger girl.
Toques of blue velvet edged with As
trakhan. and decorated with multi
colored wings and aigrettes of ospray
are decidedly elegant. Satin or velvet
rosettes not much larger than a big
button are tucked in everywhere
about the edges. There is change
in the expression and attitude of the
hat since the hair has been worn low
as everybody wears it now. 1t is
made to center in the middle of the
head, and even the very large hats do
not ovcrshadow the features or cover
the neck as they once did.
And everything in millinery goes. IL
you have bunch of feathers and some
scraps of velvet or silk your millincr
will make you capote lit to wear any
where in the social swim. In some of
the heightened millinery shops here
they will not touch material that is
furnished. In others they charge S3
for trimming if they furnish the ma
terial, but if the customer brings it
then 81 is the fee charged. Even so.
4 hat that is made out of material on
hand will only cost S.. when complete,
but will really be worth SO. counting
in the original cost. That is why it is
economy to bug good velvet and ostrich
feathers to begin with. The ostrich
does not change its habits feathers
are always in fashion.

History of the Piano.

No one can tell exactly who made the
first piano for the reason that it has
gradually evolved" from an instru-
ment as much itself as one could well
imagine. In the twelfth century it
appears to have been a gigantic dull
elmer, which was merely an oblonG
box holdirsy series of strings ar
ranged in triangular form across its
center. In the thirteenth and four
teenth centuries the "clavichord,"
another musical moustrosity. had de-
veloped from it, and was used well up
in the eighteenth century. About I'LL
Christofali of Padua invented a real
piano. but it is said to remind one of q
coal box when compared with the ele-
giant and perfect toned instrument OF
to-day.
