HoW French Criminals Face Dea.h.

The Abbe Faure, ex-chaplain of Ro- quette, is convinced that the majority do not tremble when they see the fatal knife before them; they are electrified" and appear unconscious. One woman, however, distinguished herself by skip ping up to the shimmering blade and kissing it. She had to be dragged away by brute force and strapped on to the bas- cule, being livid with rage at the in tsrruption of her osculatory devotion.- Paris Letter.

SoMERviLLE, N. J., July 14-A cloud burst just over Finderne. one mile east of here, and great amount of water fell in a few minutes. The roads were washed out and fields of grain leveled to the earth. A passing train was caught in the deluge, and the water forced itself into the cars while all the windows and doors were closed.

New Notions.

Young women with English ideas in dress have lately appeared in black silk Shirt waists with soft empire scarfs about the waist of the same silk. Studs fasten the waists down the front, and with these are worn chamois yellow English walking coats with immense revers bordered with black silk gimps or paSsementeries. The full silk sleeves are hnished at the wrists with the same earniture. Brilliant red coats, black trimmed, are similarly made.

dressed cloth as perfectly as by the more costly sheeting. The generous width that allows of seamless hangings can be found in the ho2nely sheeting muslin quite as well as in the bolton sheeting, and the pleasant surface. cool to the touch, is common to both-only the price and fashion make the advantage of the cloths of later make.
 For the bedroom nothing makes more | attractive and cooler hangings than un- blesched cotton cloth.
 It is thick enough to hang in excellent folds, yet light enough to exclude all thought of stiffness, and it is so good in tone as to lend itself to decoration far better than many a costlier thing
 One bright girl at least has profited by the fact that so good thing can be had at little cost. Her room is charming in the extreme, and curtains, bedspread and couch cushions are all made from the homely cloth.
 The curtains, which are hung upon slight poles beneath a scarf drapery that falls from each end, can be swung aside at will to allow the breezes to have full play, but either when drawn or partly drawn are deliciously restful to the eye and make the end of the room they fill certain attractive point.

COSTLY BUTTONS.
An Apparently Useless Expenditure Of
Several Thousand Douars-Ppeu-
matte Postal Tubes,

ST. LOUIS, March Alt is languor-
GUS weather, these eafy days of spring
but the campaign for the mayoralty is
too hot to allow any of the politicians
to yield to the enervating influence.
Some idea of the interest being taken
in the campaign may be had from the
statement of Il manufacturer of candi-
dates buttons, who says that he has al
ready made nearly q million of them on
orders, and that he expects much larger
orders as soon as the nominations are
made. a million campaign buttons
means cost to the candidates of some
thing more than $50, 900, as the buttons
by the Wholesale cannot be bought for
less than five cents apiece. The profit
to the manufacturers il about a cent Il
button. All of the buttons are made
in St. Louis by local cngravcrs and
enaInelers.
Neither of the political conventions
next month will be held in the EXPOSE
ton Building. The party managers
have made efforts to get it, hut can
not. President Cleveland was nomin-
ated in the larger OF the two halls in
1855, and the politicians consider the
place sort of mascot, but the gentle
men in control of the building have
decided that hereafter they will devote
the halls and naves entirely to their
legitimate use. 1t would be entirely
too much trouble, too, for the ezhibi-
tors getting ready for the fall to re-
move the elaborate displays and de
vices which they are already prepar-
ing, and which they would fear to
trust to the curiosity OF the crowd in
attendance on n political gathering.
Some of the devices, depending on
electricity for their effects have cost
the men who have prepared them to
attract people to view their exhibits,
thousands of dollars and careless
touch might be extremely costly.
Postmaster Harlow is now making
the plans to connect the main postoitice
with the new Union depot which is to
be opened to traffic this year, by pneu-
matte tubes. lie Will establish branch
station at the depot, and by the pneu-
matte service make IL possible for be-
lated business man to drop hismail into
| the box ut The central station five min
utes before the train for which it is i. =
tended starts, with the certainty that
it will go without miscarriage. In all
| large cities the time is consumed in the
postal business by the delays attending
| the transmission of mail. Allowances
must be made for accidents to postal
wagons and stoppages by street bloc k
alcs. The pneumatic tubes do away
with all that. and the calculations may
be made entirely on the time used in
handling the mail, as the bundles of
matter are shot a mile through the
tubes in minute. The money saved
by dispensing with the wagons and the
clerks and the drivers about them Will
be spent in equipping three new sub
stations for the rapidly growing sub
urhs.
