When Buying Furs.

In buying furs especially for trim
ming, so to first-class place, mas
much as the furs that are apparently
sold for cheap prices are usually
found lacking, writes Isabel A. Nal
Ion in an exquisitely illustrated arti-
Gle on 1.-THE Correct Use of Furs," in
the December Ladies' Home Journal.
Frequently they have not been taken
care of during the summer, and the
moth has made his home among the
hairs, and in short time you will
find your gown Oh skirt continually
covered with them, and wherever you
sit, or whoever may be near, will also
suffer from the rain of loose fur. If a
good effect is produced by an imitation
fur, buy it, but examine it we'll. MINI
is particularly well initiated, and as
the real fur is quite expensive 1t may
be taken for granted that on nine out
OF ten gowns the fur has never been
acquainted with that sharp-looking lit
tie animal whose head just now is of
so much value. The limitations Of err
mine are never good, and therefore
not to be thought of. Astrakhan is
sufficiently low in price to permit my
one getting gown trimming to have
the real article itself. By-the-by, in
speaking of laces and furs, forgot to
mention that over the deep fur capes,
those reaching far below the waist, it
is considered in perfectly good taste
to wear a shoulder cape of lace. Usu-
ally one of the sharply pointed designs
is chosen for this purpose.

Rotating the Garden.

There is decided advantage In oc-
Casionally changing the location of the
garden. The crops in the garden re-
quire heavy manUring. AS they occu-
py the land every year there Is no
chance to seed with clover, and the
soil, though rich enough, becomes too
heavy for profitable working. Where
clover sod is plowed under the soil
Is friable, and holds moisture without
becoming sodden. Many farmers do
not think of changing their garden
spot until spring. Then it is too late
TO make the soil rich enough for gar
denlng purposes; but if clover ley is
top dressed heavily with manure in
the fall, and then plowed early in the
spring, it will be rich enough to grow
most kinds of garden vegetables.
Such a plat of ground that had been
frequently in clover will be less weedy
than one that has been always used as
a garden.

the street door, preparatory to mount
ing his box, person brushed past him
and entered the house, and after look
ing around, turned to ask Of the coach
man, who had followed him back into
the parlor, concerning Mrs. Lindsay.
But the moment the new conner
caught sight of the coachman's face,
he exclaimed, with considerable sur
prise:
why, uncle, what can possibly have
brought you to this house?"
II was waiting for fare-but why
are you here?"
ITO visit patient"
"The sick lady here Is one OF your
patients?"
"Yes, 1 have attended her for some
time, and always visit her before re-
tiriEg for the night
"Ah, she seems very ill.," said the
c,achman, pityingly.
"She has not much longer to live"
And after pausing an instant, the doc
tor added:
"And 1t is here. too, that the young
lady dwells of whom / have so often

"Yes, uncle, and with whom hope

what do you mean, uncfe?'
II mean," his uncle replied, "that her
mother is just now in despair at her
absence, and that the poor woman has

"Emmeline is lostv' the young doc
tor exclaimed, in great alarm.
"No, not quite, since / we'll know

ago." the coachman said, expressiyely.
The doctor entreated that his uncle
would speak intelligibly.
And but too plainly did he speak, for.
said he: II took her to the house Of
Mr.. Noel Darlington, a commercial
traveller, and she must have found her
self very comfortable there, for she
sent word to me that had no need to
wait for her."
The doctor would not believe it,
that could not be!
But his uncle insisted that it could be,
since it had been, and was; and assert
ed that while the poor mother was tor
menting herself at her daughters alb
sence, the girl was happy enough in
Barrington's company.
To Barrington's house would the doc
tor at once proceed. he said, and his
uncle should drive him thither
But his uncle objected, that he was
engaged by the girls mother.
Mrs Lindsay must not leave the
house, it would kill her." said her
physician; ''and It's me alone whom you
must conduct"
''You must do as you please with me,
boy" .grumbled the coachman, "for you
are doctor, and I am bound to follow
your prescriptions"
And presently Mrs. Lindsay, hear
ing the sound of receding wheels, look
ed from her bedroom window, and saw
the coach she had engaged driven
rapidly from the door
And then she sank down on her bed,
and sobbed, and moaned, and feared
she was about to die, and that she

would be at least glimmer of light
from without, and she would be able
to distinguish the bureau, and that
discovered the rest would be easy.
Closing the outer door behind her,
she was in complete darkness; but
made bold by the dask before her,
she groped her way to the stairs, as
cended them, and soon knew that she
had reached the drawing room. for
going to one of it's windows, she was
looking on to the street.
There was, as she had expected. a
feeble glimmer of light in the room,
and presently she was able to distin-
guish the bureau in which was her
coveted treasure.
She made her way to it; the key was
within the lock, and her fingers were
on that key, about to turn 1t, when
suddenly her heart stood still, her
limbs trembled beneath her.
She heard the grating of d key in the
outer door, which continued for some
time, as though some one were vainly
striving to gain an entrance
But at length the attempt had sue
ceeded, for she heard the movement
of the opening door, and next a heavy
step upon the stairs, and then, feeling
her way, she staggered from the draw
ing room into an adjoining chamber.
Pressing against the door, while she
held it little ajar, Emmeline strove
to look and listen through the crevice.
Presently there was ample light in
the drawing-room.
Emmeline saw, standing in the cen
ter of that apartment, tall man, and
whose face, pale then as was her own,
was entirely strange to her.
He had opened a dark lantern which
was in his hand, and whose light he had
directed around the apartment, until it
had rested on the bureau
Then, hastily advancing to ii, he
placed his lantern on the top, and. in
moment, had unlocked and opened
that bureau.
Emmelines first thought was. that
this man was some robber. who had
come there in search of plunder; but

slightest notice from him, she would

that he quickly opened the left-hand
drawer, and took from 1t the red mo-
rocco book which she herself had come

With an exclamation of joy he took

Unfortunately Placed.

Bishop Wilberforce was much be-

house where his boyhood was spent

the good bishop.
BY some unlucky chance the statue

They Muster 100 Strong and Loot q
Whole Town.
The story of the recent attack of
brigands upon the little town of Tor
toll in Sardinia reads like page out
of the history of the middle ages
The robbers, more than 100 in number,
descended upon the town from the
mountains. They we're armed to the
teeth, and carefully masked, as if they
were afraid Of being identified Their
first proceeding was to station .)ick-
cts at the head Of every street leading
Into the open country, then the main
body entered the town, shouting and
yelling and firing their rifles in or
der to lntimidate the Inhabitants.
The garrison consisted only of two
gendarmes in charge of brigadier
These three brave fellows turned out
on hearing the firing, and, being join
by several courageous and well-armed
citizens, opposed the brigands' ad-
vance. The fight which ensued lasted
several hours, and dusk had set in be-
fore the defenders of the town wers
finally routed, leaving the brigadier
dead on the ground, and the two gen.
darmes and several citizens grievous-
" wounded. The brigands now spread
all over the town helped themselves
to everything of value exposed in the
shops, and breaking into and looting
private houses. The inhabitants were
terrorized, and nobody ventured into
the streets. The strongest detachment
of robbers made for the house of Sig.
Depon formerly syndic Of Tortoi, and
well known to be possessed of ample
means. The servants had been warn
ed of the projected attack, and had
bolted and barred the house. The bri-
gands, however, soon forced an en-
trance, and after short fight, in
which the syndic's coachman was
killed, the defenders fed. The rob-
bers then went through the house,
aud secured, among other spells, 27,-

Using Locomotives to Lay Pipes

Using Locomotives to Lay Pipes
A great engineering scheme made a
start toward success here to-day. The
plan is to lay an S-inch iron pipe under
the Detroit river to bring natural gas
from Canada to this city. On the
American side at a trench runnig
down to the river.
This was lined with wooden trough
fabricated with soft soap. In the
trough lay the main. At the river end
of the main was conical plug design
ed to keep the water out and serve
as a sort of plOwshare for turning
aside the soft mud of the river bottom
for the main as it is hauled across.
Attached to the end of the cone was
the great steel cable which had been
strung across the bottom Of the river.
On the opposite side of the river was a
huge snatch block, through which ran
the other end of the cable, and was
then attached to three locomotives.
By means Of tug whistles the sig
nal for the locomotives to start was
made. 1t took but moment to hide
400 feet of it in the river. This after
noon a second section of 500 feet was
attached and the engines again stSYt-
ed, but they had not gone far before
they stuck.
Another one was then brought into
play, and the four moved along nicely.
The weight of the pipe will be $50 tons
or about twice the weight of the aver
