the occurrence hadn't disturbed his equilibrium
one bit II hor love for him is sincere, and he
is manly. why, then there Is no doubt as to the
result. Drowning himself would be ridiculous
and cowsrdly. Besides. that would be little salts

Brass bedsteads are no longer the most
fashionable variety. They have grown
too common for the ultra exclusive taste.
and silver and white metal and plain
silver now to great extent supersede
them. The new bedsteads are shown
canopied with pale blue or pink, and tho
same scheme of color is carried out in
the other furnishings. Silver curtain
poles and andirons and draperies to
match the bed canopied are the correct
thing.

What Is the matter with compelling electric
railway Companies as a sort OF equity for priri-

tho streets through which their lines run or are
supposed to rum Don't you suppose that such
means would help to tighten the taxes OF the
people and also help prevent, in one instance
the accumulation Of unnatural fortunes in such
short spaces OF time. Tho plan for lighting
could be distributed as follows Where there
are more than one line OF cars running on the
same street the line that is continuous-for exam
pie, the Fulton street line-to Light Fulton
street from the river to Its road terminus The
other lines to light the side streets parallel
with Fulton street. up to the point where their
own line branches on then to continue with the
lighting on their own road to its terminal.
