PhOtOsriphinS beauty Asleep.
1t is an undisputed fact that a pretty
woman never looks so pretty as when
she is asleep. Beautiful woman, recog-
nizing this truth about her appearance
y hen she is asleep is now taking advan-
tage of it in a marvellous way, and the
latest fad is the photograph of her.
self in the arms Of Morpheus. Usually
she rests on a divan, and the clever
photogra pher arra1 ees the pillows un-
der her head so that not single beau
ty is forgotten by the sun, while the
human artist will cleverly enough blot
out the imperfections in the rctouch-
ing. If my lady is inclined to be a
little festive she wears in her latest
photograph q suit Of pajamas, and
has nothing thrown over her. Then
she looks like a pretty boy who, weary
Of frolic, has lain down to rest This
is fetching picture. but it is not the
enticing one. That shows mademoiselle
arrayed In the fullest of lawn night
dresses with cascade of lace close up
to her neck, frills of it falling about
her wrists, one hand resting just beside
her and the other up under her head.
In all this glimmer of white which
covers her completely she is the most
absolutely feminine thing imaginable.
The photographer who has made HIM
self famous taking these pictures told
a writer for the New York Press that
the most marvellous thing about it
all was how few of the women had
pretty feet, and how very difficult it
was to make some of them understand

and beautiful yarn she is making into stockings for market, for the we'll kept Pyrenean flock has furnished the wool. It is of this soft, light wool, the goo1s known as ''barege" is made, the watering place town of Bareges, in the Pyrenees, giving it the name. The usual companion of the shepherd girl or boy, the faithful sheep dog, is with the girl, and she sends him to bring back straying members of the flock, rather than leave her knitting to go herself and fetch them.
 Sometimes the dog goes alone with the flock, driving them before him. and nipping the legs of the unruly sheep to remind them that he is master. There seems to be code of unwristen laws which these sheep dogs inherit with their pcdigrees. They know every sheep in their own floclls, and will drive out intruders. They will not 'chum" with other dogs when on duty. They will look after weakly or struggling lambs, going back after them and driv- ing them with care and patience until they bring them home. Often they are the sole watchers of flock, and pair of dogs will take out large flock of sheep in the morning, watch them all day, and bring them in at night with out single one missing. This is all together in the line of faithful duty, as dogs seek company and dislike solitude. Nor are they fond of the flocks that they guard as general thing. The

Rockford Star.
Mr.. d. Manning, who was formerly
agent for the Chicago s. Northwestern
railroad company in this city, and who
is still in the employ Of the company
as travelling freight agent, has been a
railroad man all his life. It now de-
yelops that he has entered into pro-
ject which will make him more mag
nate than ever before, and if it is push
ed to a successful conclusion will net
him and his associates a neat sum.
For some time past Mr.. Manning
and Mr.. Max Sands, station agent for
the c. & n. W. at Dodteville, have
been laying wires and prtjecting plans
for the building of a railroad from
Highland to Mineral Point, Wis. A
stock company has been formed and
Monday Engineer Gates and a corps
of surveyors left this city for Highland
to make preliminary survey of the
road.
a number of moneyed men have in
terested themselves in the project and
there is little doubt but that it will be
developed and a railroad connect the
above named Wisconsin towns. The
Rockford engineer commenced the
work of surveying for the road this
morning. 1t will take about a weeks
time to run the first line, after which
an estimate of the cost of construction
will be made and the organized COM
company completed. Here is success
to Mr.. Manning and his road.

An Explosion


The Shullsburg Local.
A terrible explosion occurred Sat-
urday morning in the shanty near the
mouth of the McFealy level, by
which Thomas Coughlin and John
McGraw were seriously injured. The
men had gone into the shanty to
warm themselves, and some powder
that was being thawed out near the
stove caught fire. When the powder
began to burn they started to run for
the level, and when about ten yards
from the shanty the explosion occurred
which felled them to the ground and
inflicted wounds from which they may
never recover. They were picked up
by the miners who quickly got to the
scene of the disaster, and carried them
to the home of James Metghan, and
Drs. Green and Barber were summon
ed. We have not time to give any de-
tails of the disaster except that it oc
cured about half past seven, Is
pounds of powder exploded. The
shanty was blown into kindling, the
windows in the houses in the viciuity
broken and the shock of the explosion
felt in the city twomiles dist ant.

A Great Evangelist.

The Rev. P. C. Webber, the Arch
Deacon Of the Diocese of Milwaukee,
preached to a very large congrega-
ton last Sunday evening, at Trinity
(EpiscopaD Church in this city. He
took as the subject Of his discourse
the question and the answer, What
think ye of Christ ?" Five thoughts,
he said, suggested themselves by this
question and the answer,-which he
should give: 1st. He said, in Christ
the character of God. I'd. The
realization of what life should be at
at it's best. Sd. The completeness of
humanity. 4th. The unity of mankind.
5th. These thoughts lead us to ac-
knowledge that Christ had accom-
plished for the world what no man in
all history had, or could accomplish;
and this work must prove His unity
with man in his humanity, and with
the Father in His Godhead.
This is only a poor outline of a
sermon, full of thought, noble diction,
imagery, and epigramatic sentences,
and strong appeals to reason as well
as to the emotions.
Those who did not hear him missed
a good thing. Tt is but inst to say
that Mr.. Webber is more than fluent,
clear, and forcible speaker; for man
might have all these gifts and yet be
unable to hold the attention of the
congregation for an hour and more, as
Mr.. Weber did last Sunday evening.
There is something besides eloquence,
and this Mr.. Webber has as preacher.

save himself from being pitched head
long into the snow he jumped out, the
