woRkBAsKET TRIPLES.
Three Visitors from the Country Ara
Shocked.

Shocked.
The workbasket or the up-to-date
woman of leisure is provided with
many costly trifes. the use of which is
not directly obvious to the uninitiated,
says the New York Tribune. This fact
was recently impressed upon the writer
at the counter of a jewelry establish
ment., A group of women, whose man
ner and appointments indicated that
they were Strangers in the city, were
looking at gold thimbles,. and. Incl
dentaHy, at various other articles dis
played by the clerk.
Look here, Mary Ellen" said the
oldest of the three, holding up to view
fiat little square of gold with richly
chased edges. What do you reckon
this is?"
1T don't look like anything in par
ticular to me-" answered Mary Ellen
after close scrutiny.
We'll. It's thread-winder, and it's
worth SCI
Nine dollars for a thread-winder"
exclaimed Mary Ellen, aghast at the
IDEA. well! l never!-I always wrap
my old scraps of thread or silk round
an empty spool or a piece OF cardboard,
like the scooped-out piece of wood the
boys at home wind their fishing lines
on. That's right convenient, though,
she added, examining the pretty bauble
interestedly.
Here's something else" said the
third woman, balancing between her
fingers a peneil-like arrangement ex-
quisitely chased and having a smooth,
oval GlIlh either xuopdar
what this is for?" And she glanced
appealingIy at the clerk
That's giove-darner." he ex-
planned, much amused at her perplex-
ity.
And how much does it cost?"
Eleven dollars"
The trio exclaimed in horror at this
revelation Of extravaganza and Mrs
Mary Ellen remarked sternly that S11
would supply her with gloves for two
years.
All three examined the gIove-darner
critically, and then. pursuing their in
vestisatien, specialized in turn as to the
merits OF the solid-gold thiTnble-hold-
ers, emery holders, needie-cases and
other articles that seemed curious TO
them. Finally, when a finger protector
was shown, Mrs. Mary Ellen's patience
became exhausted
These idle women ought to be proud
to show a few needle pricks on their
foreHnger," she exclaimed. I'D like to
know how a little needle prick can
hurt"
She did not conceal her amazement
that so Insignificant, everyday affair as
a little round tape-measure could be
contrived to cost 81, and q small ivory
case, equipped with tiny gold handled
scissors, needle-case, thimble and bod
kin, the value of which was 800, nearly
took away her breath
TT seems outrageous to squander 50
many dollars on nonsense" she de-
| clared, energetically, as the party left
the shop.

A Splendid Climbing Rose.

Philadelphia Ledger: No climbing
rose ever introduced has attained such
widespread popularity in so short a
time as the Crimson Rambler. Al
though it was introduced this year, over
lee, 900 plants have already been sold
To my mind the strongest point in it's
favor is its hardness. 4 prominent
rose grower in the spring Of 1894 set
out two strong plants in his trial
grounds. By fall they had attained a
growth of six feet. They were left
unprotected during the winter, and in
the spring he pegged down one CT the
stems to the ground. 1t broke from
every eye, and in June he counted on
that one stem 500 buds ard blossoms.
I regret to say that it is not an ever
bloomer.

MOUNTAINS ON FIRE.
Picturesque Scene at the Village OF Gran
sac, In France.

A communication from Aveyron.'
France, says: 1.-THE village of Gram
sac is surrounded by burning noun
tains. The Montet, which, according
to local chroniclers, has been on fire
for more than century has now the
aspect of a veritable volcano From
its crater-like summit an intense vol
ume Of smoke rises during the day,
while at night multitude OF vari-coi-
ored flames furnish the glorious spec
tacle of mountain on fire. Actuated
doubtless by the strong winds OF the
last few weeks, the fiery element.
which had been consuming the entire
Montet mountain proper, has spread to
the range, and has assumed proper
tions which are very grave During
very dark nights the blaze illuminates
the horizon as that of great conha-
grafton. At times blue white fiames
shoot up to a considerable height, Civ
ing the effect of lightning during a
storm. 4 curions fact about the burn
ing Montet is that whenever period
of very cold temperature ensues, the
mountain fire seems to grow IN intensi-
ty. All efforts to extinguish the blaze,
or even to retard its progress, have
been In vain. All that has been done
to smother or quench the fire appeared
to but increase the fury of the devour-
ing element. Its progress is increas-
ing, and the blaze never was as fierce
as 1t is now We add that this fire Is
the sequel to confagratiOn that broke
out in the coal mines of Fontaines and
Montet many decades ago. Joanne
mentions the burning mountain in his
Geographical Dictionary of France,
1s41," as having been on fire a long
time.

ANOTHER INNOVATION.
Banking System introduced in One of the
Department Stores.

Banking System Introduced in One of the
Department Stores.
A banking department is the latest
novelty in a large uptown dry goods
store, says New York exchange.
Its object is to be a convenience to
the patrons of the establishment and
residents of the neighborhood rather
than to make money for the firm.
1t is to all purposes a bank, though
not being chartered it cannot be digni-
fed with this name.
Deposits are made and checks drawn
in just the same way as they are at any
bank, SO that the customer visiting the
store can transact all her business
under one roof
She can furnish her home. provision
it, purchase her clothes and those Of
the rest of her family, have her photo
graph taken and enjoy a delicious
meal, buy flowers for her lawn, take a
nap and pay for all by check drawn
on the p-oprietors of the store.
The convenience of this banking de-
partmeDt does not end here, for when
the bars and shutters have beea put up
ON regular banks money is still passing
in and out the teller's window.
Three o'clock goes by without notice
and the fatigued shopper suddenly real
ICES she has forgotten to have check
cashed. This she can have done aslate
as five o'clock on other days snd nine p.
m. on Saturdays.
Neighboring tradespeopie also avail
themselves of this convenience
Letters OF credit to any part of the
world are issued by this shoppers
bank, and foreign money is bought
and sold there at the current rates Of
exchange.
Passage on any Of the transatlantic
steamers may also be purchased there
and cabins selected in the same place
where steamer chairs and rugs are
bought

Long Trip with a wheeIbarrow.

Seventeen years ago, in 1873. Lyman
Potter, of New York state, performed
the prodigious task of pushing a COM
mon paddy" wheelbarrow across the
continent lie started from his home
on Dane street, Albany, n. Y, on the
morning of April 10, 1873, and arrived
in San Francisco on the afternoon of
October of the same year, being al
most exactly one hundred and seventy
eight days five hours and three min
utes over, in performing the wearisome
feat. Potter was a shoemaker, and the
trip was the result of wager made by
some friends who believed that such
trip would occupy at least two hum
dred days. The wager was one thou
sand dollars, but Potter made between
three and five times that sum advertis-
ing for different parties along the
route. The wheelbarrow was made
specially for the use to which 1t was.
put and weighed but seventy-fve
pounds The distance travelled by Pot-
ter was exactly four thousand eighty

CIGARS IN BOTTLES.
A QueeF Fad which Is Growing in PePa-
larity Among Smokers.

larity Among szioke-S.
''Come and crack q cigar with ne"
promises TO be Rs popular a form Of
salutation between friends rs that in
which the invitation is extended 70 en-
JOY a mOiety Of bottle Of champagne,
And the cigar has the obvious adva1-
tage of the liquor in the matter of
price. Cigar dealers say the new style
of putting mp cigsrs in bottles IS taking
hold among smokers immensely. One
reason there is not z larger sale or this
class OF goods is that many OF the man
ufacturers of the best-known brands
have not adopted it yet, going on the
theory, probably, that the reputation
of their product is sufficiently estab-
lished to keep it at the front without
mourning the added trouble and ex-
pense Of putting it up in glass bottles.
The idea of bottling cigars is not
new, says the Chicago Tribune. al
though the present application Of it is.
1t really originated with a prominent
Cuban cigarmaker twenty odd years
ago. The Cubans are like the Amer
leans, or, to be historically accurate.
the Americans are like the Cubans-
since we get our best cigars and our
ideas of how they should be smoked
from the islanders-in that they prefer
to smoke their cigars while they are
fresh. Age, according to this view,
produces in cigars a result directly op-
posite TO its effect on wine, and it was
in order to preserve the aroma of the
subtle weed that this Cuban used to
seal up some of his choicest cigars in
glass cases. There were three cigars
in the case, or rather bottle. The end
of the bottle was softened by holding
it in a fame and then bent over and
Theoretically sealed while in this con-
dition. This device was too expensive
for popular adoption, and the average
American smoker took his cigars un.
bottled until recently, when the old
idea was taken up and modified so as
to be practical and of general applica-
ton.
Each specimen of the higher priced
cigars has a tube all to itself. This
tube is plugged up with cork, and
the cork is made impervious to air by a
coating of parafine wax, so that when
the smoker uneorlls his purchase he
finds it in precisely the same condition
in which it left the hands of the cigar.
maker. Some small cigars, of about
the size of a lead pencil, are put up in
punches and bottled. Careful cigar
dealers have always kept moistened
sponges in their show cases, but, IN
less considerable skill is exercised. this
is liable to make the cigars too damp,
and even to produce mold. The prob
able effect of this new departure on
the glass industry when bottling be-
comes general may be judged from the
fact that the number of cigars con-
sumed annually in this country reaches
the astonishing total of five billion.
