ABOUT TRIMMINGS.
The Tendency IL Toward Lacey Effects 70
Spring and Summer Wear.

The Tendency Is Toward Lacey Effects for
Spring and Summer Wear.
The amount of manufactured trim
ming which is put on the market now
is something astonishing. Gimp braid
has become q matter of course, like
Innings and hooks and eyes. 1t is,
therefore, no longer feature of ones
gown, and If there is no other trim
ming the dress is plain. The jetted
trimmings must also have some dis
tinctiye quality about them in order to
meet the approval of the critical eye.
That variety called leaf jet bids fair to
supersede the old, heavier kind, and as
consequence there is perfect furore
for jetted laces and nets. The old jet
comes in festoons and open .patterns.
Windows are full of these various trim
mings, not merely jets, but gold and
jeweled patterns of the most intricate
designs. And when it comes to laces,
there is such an abundance and variety
that one cannot tell where TO begin.
There is u tendency to lacey patterns in
everything. The jet trimming shows
this characteristic, but even in solid
goods lace stripe will be woven in,

occurring at intervals of three or four

There is kind of trimming made OF

The spook of tile nIaipe wooa,.

When the loggers of Squaretown,
near the forks of the Kennebec, hear
the clip of an ak and the thump OF fros
at midnight, they bury themselves
deeper in their ''ostrich feathers" as
they call their beds of boughs, and
cover their ears with their blankets,
for they imagine the shingle-splitting
spook is Mt work. A correspondent
declares that he saw the ghostly old
shingle-splitter hard at it one moon
light morning about two o'clock, but
he melted away like dream when
hailed. This Nick of the Woods had
its origin in legend of u quarrel and
supposed murder ia a lumber camp
thirty years ago, the disappearance of

another to Canada, all mingled with
stains of blood and a heap of bones

The Rug Craze.

A craze for an unlimited number Of
rugs seems to have taken the place of
the furore that once prevailed for
draping everything. Because rugs are
SO much more costly than ribbon bows
and yard or two of lace on chair
backs and over pictures, there seems
70 bc notion that an artistic interior
cannot display too many OF them.
They cover the floors, drape couches,
are hung upon the wall and over the
stairway rails. In all of these places,
used with restraint they arc beautiful
and suitable, but to look their best
they are like fns pictures and should
not be crowded IN . poor light. nor
suggest by their sbsndencc'a rug sale.

vestibule Law Declared Unconstitutional.

SPRINGFIELD, O., April 1.-THE first
decision in this state on the constitu-
tionality of compelling electric street
cars to be vestibuled was rendered in
the common pleas court by Judge John
G. Miller. Eight indictments against
General Manager Nelson, of the street
railway company; for violating the law
requiring the cars to be vestibuled,
were brought in by the last grand jury.
Nelson's lawyer filed a demurrer, and
the case was argued at length. Judge
Miller held that as the law provides
only for the vestibuling of electric
cars, it is special legislation, and un-
constitutional. The eight indictments
against Manager Nelson will probably

ALASKA Fox-eREEDlNG.
The Commander Islands and st. Geor
the Seat of the Industry.

the Seat of the Industry.
For the purpose OF perpetuating the
fast vanishing fur supply of Alaska
certain enterprising persons have gone
into the business of breeding blue and
black foxes on. uninhabited islands
along the coast. When the seals have
been finally eXterminated the world
may still look to that region for some
of the most valuable and beautiful
pelts known.
The Smeda Propagating Company
has recently stocked a number of
islands with foxes, and the investment
is beginning to yield handsome re-
turns. The lands thus employed are
valueless for anything else, being
wholly barren. The breeding Of blue
foxes has already been made very sue
cessful on one of the Pribylof islands
that of st. George-in the Bering Sea.
OF their increase ten Thousand have
been killed and skinned for the mar
ket One advantage of this industry
is that it involves no expense for the
care or feeding of the animals. All
that is required is to let loose a few
pairs. However, it is very important
that they shall not be interfered with
during the period of reproduction.
Those of them which are taken must at
all times be trapped and not shot,
Thus they become exceedingly tame
in the course of a few generations. In
the same region there are red, white
and Gross foxes. Skins of the last
named variety, which is supposed to ba
q cross between the red and the black,
are quoted at from five to eight dollars
wholesale. The white and red pelts
are worth only about one dollar apiece,
because, although they are very beau
tiful, they are much more common and
more easily obtainable. Black foxes
are SO rare as to be hard to procure for
breeding purposes
The breeding Of blue foxes is busi-
ness regularly prosecuted on the Com
mander Islands. in the western part of
Bering Sea, Which belongs to Russia
and have the only fur seal ro0keries
besides those Of the Pribylof group
When the explorer Bering first landed
on Bering Island, which is the larger
| of the two isles referred to, he found it
fairly swarming with these four-footed
beasts. They were so tame and fearless
that they could not be driven away.
They ate up his provisions and even
attempted to devour the men, who
were helpless with scurvy. TO get rid
Of them bits of brush were tied to their
tails and set afire.
Great numbers were killed with clubs
and all sorts of expedients were tried,
but it was impossible to frighten them
OFF. When DR.. SteinegeY, of the Smith
sonian Institution, visited Bering ISL
and not long ago for the purpose OF
obtaining q skeleton of the extinct
Arctic seacow, he was anxious also tc
secure specimens of certain rare auks
which are washed ashore by storms
but the foxes were SO quick to grail
them that he could get very few. The
natives there kill an average of q thou
sand foxes annually. They are al
trapped, the use of firearms not being
permitted. White ones are eagerly
hunted and destroyed. to prevent then
from concentrating the blue stock

the town, of which the paper is
supposed, by readers at distance,
to be an index. The paper ought
to show what the town has-to be

"The best story l ever heard, ;"
said John Thomas to the st. Louis
Globe Democrats corridor man, is
vouched for by Capt. Rivers, of the
Fort Worth and Denver railroad.
A Russian Hebrew came to this
country and established dry goods
and notion business. He was so
successful that he sent for his
younger brother and started to ed
ucate him in the business. The
boy was slower to learn the ways
of the world than his brother had
been, and the latter sometimes grew
impatient. One day he said:
"Now, schust vait und see how |
do. Dere vos a lady"
The lady asked to see some silk,
and was shown a piece at 81 yard.
"But | saw some like it a few
days ago for $780," she said.

The lady was satisfied, and pur-
chased the silk.
"Now, yon see how dot vos done.
Dere vos lady now: you wait on
her." he said to his brother.
The lady entered and asked for
tape. The young man was all at
tention, and the desired article was
speedily produced.
"How much?" asked the lady.
''Ten cends a yard"
"Why, l saw some for 8 cents"

A Chastity Human Table.

There is a table in the Segato de-
partment of the Nuova Santa Maria
Hospital Museum, at Florence,
Italy, which, for originality in the
matter of conception and construc-
ton, is probably without rival.
The designer and constructor Of
this wonder was Prof. Giuseppe
Segato Zone authority spells the
name Sagatti), the discoverer of a
lost process of petrifying human
flesh, and who worked in the vari-
Gus hospitals and museums OF Italy
about 40 years ago. To casual
observer this table is nothing more
or less than curious mosaic made
up of marbles and agates of differ
ent sizes and colors. In reality,
however, it is composed wholly of
human flesh, muscles, viscera, in
testines, etc. A writer who de-
scribes it, says:
at comprises every portion of
the human body transformed into
stone, destined to endure as long as
the world shall last. Different por-
tions of the human body, showing
the whole internal anatomy, are so
beautifully petrifed as to be Won
der to the traveller as we'll as an OBJ
ject of study for the medical stu
dent"
The table is bordered with up
ward of 100 human eyes, preserved
by some process which makes them
look as natural as life. 1t is, with
out doubt, the most CHASTITY piece
of furniture ever designed by man.
