SNOW IN GOTHAM.
New York Got the Worst of the
Storm.

New York Got the Worst of the
Storm.
NEW YORK. Jan. 6.-Signal Service
Officer Dunn says that the snow storm
melted New York eleven inches OH the
level. Off the level there were varying
numbers of feet. and it was mostly off
the level. The snow fall was heaviest
right here in New York city, but there
was enough to cool pans !Oi
taffy all along the line from the
tower lake region as far south as Phila-
delphia. This morning the storm cen
ter was off the coast of Long Island,
and after blowing away all tue remain
ing cholera germs from the neighbour
hood of Fire island it wenr to sea. 1t is
now a considerable distance out in the
ocean, right in the track of the North
ern passenger steamers, blowing sixty
miles an hour. The wind was of coast
from North Carolina to Nova Scotia.
The storm and wind did much dam
age in and around Jamaica bay. SeV-
eral yachts belonging to members of the
Canarsie, Etna and Jamaica Bay Yacht
clubs were torn from their anchorage
and blown heavily on the meadows.
The oyster sloop Addie, which was all
chored off WOodhaven creek, was
among those damaged by the high wind.
The fierce snow and wind storm along
the entire NewJersey coast has wrought
terrible damage to property and the
bluff The Shrewsbury hotel at Sea
Bright is being undermined. The street
is being washed away by the raging sea
and has caused the stopping of trains
running to Kingslands. The bNlkheads
and bluff at that place is almost totally de
stroyed. AT Long Branch the famous
iron pier is total wreck. The high
sea carried off the greater portion of the
structure. The entire bluff on Chelsea
avenue is gone, not a single foot or
bluff at that point remains to tell the
story. The bulkheads and other por-
tons of the bluff are greatly damaged.
DETROIT, Jan. O. Dispatches from
Benton Harbor, ST. Joseph and other
towns on the eastern coast of Lake
Michigan indicate that one of the heav-
lest snow storms in years has been Tag
ing since early this morning.

snnd for Pavements.

II. E. Laid. just returned from an
Eastern trip, is exploiting the merits of
new kind of pavement. 1t is nothing
but sand. Mr.. Ladd SAID it would not
do for heavy traffic, but on streets where
the travel is light it is all right. The
street is leveled and covered with a
layer of sand an inch or less in thick
ness. The sand is wet and rolled under
several tons pressure. Another layer of
sand is put down and similarly treated,
and SO on until the bed is six or eight
inches thick. Mr.. Laid says wheels do
not cut through and the bed is as solid
as aSnhalt.

Bathing Suits for Girls.

The bathing suits which the BOYS
generally wear are admirably adapted
to swimming, for there is no I'M
necessary weight to drag them down
and no unnecessary fulness to ham,
per their freedom Of motion. Those
which girls usually wear are atrocious
and increase the difficulty OF learning
about 80 per cent. DOaway with all
unnecessary material in the girls
suits as we'll as the boys Make them
of light weight jersey, with trousers
just loose enough to allow free move
ment to the legs, and sew them to a
petticoat waist, with short sleeves;
no tunic, il you want the girl as
graceful swimmer as her brothers.

Gold-Hunting Still Goes On.

The search for gold is going on
very actively all over the globe, and
with very remarkable results. Much
more will probably be mined in Cali
fornia yet than has been taken out
since pioneer days, and all up to
Alaska and eastward to the Rocky
mountains there is plenty Of average
ore and even hope of rich strikes.
Unquestionably there is much uncer-

In western Australia an extraordinary
discovery OF gold deposits has been
made, raising expectations of rich

declared from special examination
that the colony contained nothing

How Scissors Are Made.

Though no complexities are. in
,volved in the making OF scissors, or
much skill required, yet the process
is very interesting. They are forged
from good bar steel heated to redness,
each blade being cut of with sutfi-
Gent metal to form the shank, or,
that destined to become the cutting
part, and bow. or that which later,
on Is fashioned into the holding por-
tion. For the bow small hole is,
punched, and that is afterward ex-,
panded to the proper size by ham,
mering 1T on conical anvil, after
which both shank and bow are filed
into a more perfect shape and the
hole bored in the middle for the rivet. ,
lie blades are next ground and the
handles filed smooth and Furnished
with oil and emery, after which the
pairs are fitted together and tested
as to their easy working. They are
not yet finished, however. They have
to undergo hardening and tempering,
and be again adjusted, after which
they are finally put together again
and polished for the third time. In.
comparing the edges of knives and
scissors 1t will be noticed, of course,
that the latter are not in any way so
sharply ground as the former, and
that, in cutting, scissors crush and
bruise more than knives. Worlds

strongly against starch, which he
calls one OF the curses of the nine
teenth century. Says he: "Not only
does 1t make our clothing unpleasant
TO wear. but it makes them hideous to
look at" Pointing to a charming
piece ofstatuary he continued: "Now
look at the beauty and simple dignity
OF that toga and contrast it with the
dress OF modern man. That was
soft and yielding; the modern shirt
collar, cuffs, hat. shoes, corsets, even
the women's gowns are hard and un-
bending. The effect of antique dress
was grace; the effect of our dress is
that OF stiffness and discomfort. 1t
