New rashions For the Home.

Heavy draperies for windows or shelves
are under a grand taboo. Now every
thing is light and silken or lacy and airy.
Wooden poles are out of date for cur
tains, and now the curtains are run on
to small brass rqds--adjustable rods--to
be bought for 50 or 40 cents each. The
curtains are not looped back and are
decorated by band Of wide chenille
fringe, fastened along the brass pole and
allowed to hang perfectly plain over the
lace.-Boston Herald.

spot. His final resting place, the pro
fessor declared, was already prepared for
him near his favorite Alpine retreat-e
shelf cut in the hard rock, high up in the
pure, dry mountain air, where the nat
ural process of disintegration might be
accomplished with as few of the painful
adjuncts of decay as might be. He
laughingly volunteered to provide con-

through all the intervening years have
retained most vivid impression of the
enthusiasm with which Professor Tyn-
dali dwelt on the wilder beauties of ma
ture. He assured me that he lived on
Hindhead not for the sake of the exqui-
site summer days, but for the wild even
ings of spring and autumn, when storms
and mists and rajnclouds sweep across
the open hillside. His artistic enjoy
ment of such scene seemed to me quite
as keen as his scientific appreciation. -

Major William Downie Dies Under Pa
thetio circumstances.
Major William Downie is dead, and
no old pioneer of forty-nine ever passed
away under more pathetic circumstances.
He ewas on his way to rejoin his old asso-
ciates of pioneer days at the forty-nine
mining camp in the Midwinter exposi-
ton when he suddenly expired.
He had come all the way from Vic
toria. B. c.. to occupy the same old cab
in in the mining camp that had been his
abode when he dug for gold in the days
of the gold rush, and just as the steamer
arrived in port and representative Of
the mining camp was telling him of the
grand old times that awaited him when
the fair opened his heart swelled with
Joy and burst, and he fell over dead.
All this happened on the deck of the
steamer City Of Puebla, and as soon as
it could be done his body was removed
to the home Of his son, W. ]. Downie,
1922 Telegraph avenue, Oakland.
Major Downie was one of the best
known pioneers or the 7VoV0. n0r ws-.
the founder of Downievi1le, the one time
thriving mining camp, and of which he
was the patriarch.
His cabin at Downieville has long been
a relic that was cherished by the inhab-
itants of that section Of the state because
Of its old associations. and the promoters
of the mining camp enterprise at the
Midwinter exposition had it removed to
the fair grounds as al attraction for fair
visitors. As an additional attraction ar
rangements were made through Major
Downie's son for him to come to San
Francisco and occupy the cabin while
the fair lasted.-San Francisco Exam

referred to the Democratic platform Of
1883, and said that he helped to write that
