ENGLISH women who devote them
selves to the Somerset hunts have I'M
qualificdly adopted the mems saddle
and don divided skirts, ma nnish hats
and blouses. Some appear in long rid

said to favor this innovation on long
eSta blished customs.
A PROPOSITION has been made to con
meet Scotland and Ireland by a tunnel
under the north channel OF the Irish
sea at its narrowest part between
County Antrim in Ireland and Wigtor
in Scotland. The length of the tunnel
would be twenty-sevcn miles, and

hibit icemaking and cold storage, and
the Hercules Iron Works company,
which is building it, complains that too
little space has been allotted to make
proper exhibit or show the importance
of the industry.
The structure is to be 100 by 255 feet
five stories in height. with four towers.
each 100 feet high, for observatories, and
q central one 191 feet high, which is to
be utilized as the smokestack and to do
duty as an architectural ornament. The
builders claim it will be the most artistic
smokestack ever erected. At least eighty
tons of ice will be manufactured daily
by the most approved processes, different
methods being employed and all the ma
chinery so disposed that most of the
process can be witnessed by visitors.
Icemaking has been practiced for many
years and yet very few people know any
thing about it. The machinery will EN-
ploy five engines. no two alike, with

A writer in The Popular Science
Monthly says that there is an art in dust
ing which does not receive the attention
it demands. According to the various
analyses of different observers, the COM
ponents of ordinary dust exhibit special
characters in almost endless variety.
Mineral matters, animal and vegetable
debris. morbid germs and whatever is
small and light enough to remain for
any time suspended in the air fall into
the category, and among these things
are many substances that in the air do
mischief. The spread of cholera has,
doubtless with truth, been attributed to
its influence. Methods of busting, there
fore, which merely remove the dust to
another place or fill the air with it are
not sufficient and are not harmless. 1t
should be wiped rather than brushed
away and carried away off or destroyed.
Then let the sunlight in to kill what in
lection may remain.

Another obstruction to the progress Of
the Great Northern railway has been
overcome. Yesterday the condemna-
ton case in the city Of Seattle was con-
cluded, the jury returning a verdict
against the company in the sum of
$l4,666 damages to other railroads on
account of the four tracks of the COM
pany crossing them. For a long time
work has been suspended on account Of
this litigation, but now the Great
Northern can build on through the
city, and the way Is open for it to go on
to Tacoma and Portland, as soon as 1t
shall choose to make that extension. 1t
has been understood for long time
that the company would complete the
Portland & Puget Sound road within a
short time after completing its main
line. Assuming that to be the policy
of the company, 1t now has nothing in
the way of pushing its work whenever
q satisfactory arrangement shall be
reached between the Great Northern
and the Union Pacific, under whose
management a considerable part of the
work has already been done.

That was beautiful thought Of a
California woman-to plant heliotrope
hedge all around her yard. This hedge
is at Ventura, Cal, is 200 feet long and
q thing of beauty and fragrance in that
soft southern climate the year round.
The plants are attached to wire sup
port six feet high and present to the
sidewalk a wall of purple flowers. The
sweet odor is diffused through all that
part of the town. The originator Of
this pleasing idea is Mrs. Shepard, who
says that hedge belongs to the town.
All are at liberty to pluck flowers at
will, and the more they are gathered the
more this wonderful hedge produces. II
Is real attraction to the city. Hello
trope hedges will not grow in every part
of the Union, but some kind Of flower
ing hedge will.

practically unlimited anchorage

Almost every citizen of Fairhaven
has been reminded-and some of the
reminders have been very forcible-
within the past day or two, of the in
convenience and absolute danger of the
toboggan slides at our street crossings.
During times of frost or ice pedestrians
are driven to the necessity of avoiding
these break-neck slides by passing from
the sidewalk to the street at other
poins. 1t is time some action was
taken to procure their removal, and
some easier and safer method devised
for the construction of street crossings.
