A Novel SUlky.

A horse lover in Hartford, Conn,
according to the Courant of that city,
has devised sulky that may accom-
plish wonders in the development OF
speed in trotting horses. 1t is rather
odd-looking arrangement, as may be
seen from the picture printed here
with, but its conception is based upon
several very important considerations.
In running against time the horse
should have as nearly absolute free
dom of wind and limb rs possible, be-
sides being relieved of draught. In
other words, he should be rs nature
designed him, and the inventor Of
this sulky claims that it more nearly
accomplishes that end than any device
yet made known.
AS shown in the cut, the drivers
seat is over the horses hips, with the
wheels trile in advance ofthe middle
of the animals body. The central
upright, extending from the wheel to
the seat, is on a slight incline and
must necessarily help propcl the
wheels, thus reducing the draught to
the minimum. A surcingle supports
and steadies the shafts, and straps
running from it to the pockets that
inclose the ends OF the shaft keep the
sulky from running faster than the
horse.

FOR STREET WEAR.

For street wear brocaded silk mo-
hairs, bcrege poplin, Venetian cloth
and Illuminated serges will be much
worn, with crepons in exquisite weaves
of mohair and silk and all silk for call
ing and reception gowns. In the first
mentioned style beautiful model was
aeen in mohair of gray shade, with
old rose figure and glints of green
through the weave; the skirt was ex-
ceptionally full, the godet plaits stand
ing out beautifully and large rosettes
ornamenting the side; the bodice was
trimmed with n full collar of heavy
Russian embroidery and the full effect
was obtained by loose straps of old
rose satin caught at the neck with
rhinestone buttons; the plain high
collar of satin has loops we'll toward
the end. The sleeves were of mohair
with full puff to elbow.
These mohairs come in all varieties
of colorings md tints and in plain ef
fccta. In the poplins brown and white
is found beautifully combined and q
taking style shows the soft front Of

ard people pretend to see in its pointed
arches and the ribs of the vault an
imitation of the overarching branches
of trees. So, too, they say, the pillars
of the Gothic aisle were suggested by
the trunks of m avenue Of stately
trees.
Appropriately enough, the first
Gothic building erected in the United
States was church-famous Trinity
Church, New York, built in 1910.
Since then it has been the prevalent
style for church architecture.

is q modified Gothic, and detailed

to have deep.rooted objection to
changing from one couch to another.

tentious one, and almost any woman

North Cardinals Big Gold Nugget.

For small colored boy to pick up
a chunk Of gold weighing eight
pounds, or about that, worth just
about $4,000, is rather unusual good
fortune. That is exactly what Jupiter
Debarry, OF North Carolina, did q
week or SO ago, and the nugget is
now in Wall street, says the New
York Journal. Moreover, the boys
regular occupation is picking up mug
gets. A little syndicate of Wall
street speculators got hold of q piece
of property in North Carolina last
winter, where nuggets of fpure gold lie
around loose on the ground, and they
have people employed regularly, on
daily wages, picking up the valuable
metal.
This particular one, shown in tho
picture, is the largest found up to
date, but Jupiter Debarry and the
other colored youth in Stanley County
are vastly excited over the prospect
of finding more and bigger ones.
There are plenty of smaller ones found
from time to time, but they only servo
to keep up the excitement.
The picture is IN exact outline

nugget. 1t is as rough on top and on

is done in white, and there is not {
touch of color about the whole affair.
The color scheme of the room is dull
pink; the walls, carpets and hangings
are of this exquisite tint. Tie dressing
table, with its quaint chair, the fran,
ing of the tall cheval glass and the
carved woodwork Of the colonial man
telpiecc are of glistening white enam-
elled wood. A few choice water,
colors and some bits OF rose-fecked
china give homelike look to the room.
Lillian Russell rejoices in q sleeping
apartment Which suggests nothing SC
much as great pearly pink seashell.
Her little single bed is OF brass, but
scarcely trace of the glitterins metal
can be seen, so much of mother-of-
pearl has been used. Not only in in
Jay, but to cover the pillars and bars
has the cleaning substance been used.
The draperies are of white silk bolt
ing cloth, painted in pink morning
glories and delicate arbutus, lined
with palest pink satin. Soft white lace
over pink satin forms the covering for
the bed and for the hard, round boil
ster, and falls on both sides almost to
the white velvet carpet.
The dressing table is of pink enamel
inlaid with wreaths and cupids of
mother.of-pcarl. with faint tracries
of gold. The oval-shaped mirror is
framed in wreath Of porcelain morn
g-glories, the hand mirrors arc Of
mother f-pearl, set with jewelled
monograms. All of the brushes and
toilet belongings are Of gold and the
exquisite sheeny pearl-like substance.
The dressing chair matches the toilet
table in coloring and ornamentation.
1t is o quaint little affair, with cush-
ions soft Us down. There is no back,
of course, so that the maid can brush
Miss Russell's golden curls with all
case and dispatch, but the arms are
broad and curving, and upon these
tho singer rests her dimpled elbows
and avoids much Of the fatigue of
toilet-making.
Mrs. Frank Leslie's sleeping-room
is almost Puritanical in its exquisite
ncatness and plainness. Over the lit
tie single brass bedstead hangs q
crucifx of ivory, which is q work of
art in its matchless carving. A rug of
soft silky Persian weave covers the
floor of the tiny apartment, and sin
gle chair completes the furnishings.
The toilet table and MI of its belong
ings are in the little dressing room
which opens off from the bedroom
proper.
On certain anniversaries Mrs. Les
lies dainty brass bed presents SOM

black; the sheets, down coverlids aud
pillows are MI covered with silk of
inky blackness.

The Height OF Clouds.

TTHE tendency in the milliner's
efforts this season is all toward
broad effects and the trim
ming of nearly every style of
hat or bonnet leans that way. The
tiny Dutch bonnets set so far back on
the head that they seem lost in front
are worn at teas and receptions and in
the evening for young maids and ma
irons, too, the netty Napoleon,
trimmed toward the back or front, as
fancy dictates, is O favorite. The
large hats are stylish to degree and
model in black satin braid, had
short thick plumes falling on either
side, one resting on the edge OF the
brim toward the front. A band OF
velvet with rhinestone buckle and
bunch of violots at the back and un-
derneath the brim q cluster of roses
completed the trimming. The demand
for made hats admits of considerable
originality in the manipulation OF the
straw braid and with the kind known
as patent leather exquisite jet effects
may be obtained without the weight
of the real article. Black and white
and black and brown are frequently
found combined, tho tint OF the latter
used being Havana. Butter color
fancy straw is also fashionable, espe-
cially for young girls hats. Ribbons
and flowers for the most part form the
adornment OF the spring hat, the
Dresden and striped effects in tho
latter being especially handsome,
while the flowers are the most perfect
limitations of natures productions,
some of the makers going go far as to
initiate dying nature, and withered
leaves, and dying roses ore among the
seasons novelties. A'beautiful model
for hat is of white lace and net, the
brim slightly projecting AID trimmed
with soft net and sprays of orchids,
and another is quite flower toque,
velvet pansies being combined with
the lace. The bonnet pictured here.

ARCHlTCCTS.N.T.

Gus we'll known styles, we mean that
the spirit OF particular class has

most interesting of all of the styles ls
the Gothic.
Highly Us this is revered now, and
greatly as the early cathedrals are ad-
mired, it was at one time held to be
an unworthy departure from the strict
ly classic standard. The word Gothic
itself was first used by the archi tects
of the Renaissance as term of re-
proach for NIL medieval styles. 1t was
n synonym for barbarism. The style

Some Of the combinations are silk

". T. Harris, United States Com.
missioner Of Education, says in Har-
per's Magazine that in all the schools
of the United States, public and pri-
vate, elementary, secondary, and
higher, there were enrolled in the year
1894 about fifteen and one-half mill
ions OF pupils. This number includes
all who attended at any time in the
year for any period, however short.
But the actual average atten lance for
each pupil did not exceed ninety days,
although the average length of the
school session was 137. Sixty-nine
pupils were enrolled out Of each 100
of the population between the ages of
five and eighteen years. At this rate
of attendance the entire population is
receiving on an average little less
than four and cne-half years school,
ing of 200 days each. IN some States
this average falls as low as two years,
and in others it rises to nearly seven
years (ns in Massachusetts,. Out of
this entire number deduct the private
and parochial schools OF all kinds, ele-
mentary, secondary, higher, and
schools for art, industry, and busi
ness, for defective classes and Indians,
and there remain over thirteen and
one-half millions for the public school
enrolment, or nearly eighty-eight per
cent. of the whole. In the twenty
four years since 1870 the attendance
on the public schools has increased
from less than seven millions to thir-
teen and one-half millions. The ex-
penditures have increased somewhat
more, namely, from sixty-threc mill
ions to one hundred and sixty-threc
millions of dollars per annum, ali in
crease from Sl.G4 per capita to S2.47.

much as the youngest Of her friends.
The other evening she related an ex-
perience that befell her while lectur-
ing in Western city. She had re-
tired shortly before midnight, and was
just falling asleep when she felt cold
touch on her hand, and Mt tho same
time heard voice that sounded dis
tinct though faint saying: "Save me,
mother! !"
More curious than alarmed, Mrs.
Stanton rubbed her eyes, got mp and
lighted the gas, and searched every
where through the room, finding alb
solutely nothing. Then, concluding
that it must have been an halluciua'
ton, she went back to bed again. But
again the phenomenon vas repeated,
with the same icy touch and the same
voice, that sounded nearer now, and
repeated the singular words:
"Save me, mother!"
All through the night at intervals
this strange manifestion was repeated,
