BIG DEMAND FOR ALARMS.
To Foil Grave Robbers, Stop Trains ant
to Detect Esca ping Gas.

Patents for alarms are in great variety
in the patent Office in Washington. One
Of them is let off by escaping gas. An
other is designed as a safeguard for
Mr. Hayseed. His effort to blow out
the gas tits a delicately balanced cleo
trode, closing the circuit and giving no
tice in the Office of the hotel. An alarm
in the Office Of cemetery gives notifca-
ton Of any attempt to rob a grave.
There are. several devices for connect
ing railway tracks with wires SO that no
train can enter block while another
train is on it. One of these stops the
entering locomotive. shuts off it's steam
automatically and spills sand on the
track. A new application of electricity
is for jail cell, the walls of which are
composed wholly of bars, giving as much
light and ventilation rs possible. The
bars are of hollow pipes, carrying heat
in winter. and are connected with a
battery. If the prisoner saws through
one Of them the circuit is broken and
an alarm sounds.-New York World.

THE BRIDAL CARRIERS.
Good Luck in Matrimony Follows the Girl
Who Makes Them.

GOO0 LUCK IN 1MaCr11nOny FOLLOWS the O1rl
Who Makes Them.
At all times carriers have been consid-
cred very important details of woman's
dress, and always associated in some
manner with matrilnony. Down through
half dozen centuries comes to us the
custom practised today of having the
garters as finishing touch to a brides
toilet The particular girl friend who
is permitted to slip them into place is
conceded to stand the best possible
chance of wedding happily before twelve
months are out.
A prospect Of near and blissful mat
rimony is also shared by the friend who
secures the privilege of making brides
garters, the proper pattern for which is
now a circle of white silk elastic COW
cred with embroidered white satin and
clasped by small gold buckle enameled
in white bowknots. The carriers Of
Marie Antoinette were pretty pink silk
bands deliberately embroidered on the
upper half in tiny jewels and gold thread
In an American family are preserved the
bridal garters of titled English ances-
tress. These are of white silk, nearly
two inches broad, and decorated with
round buttons made of seed pearls, from
which suspend pearl cords and tassels
two inches long.-Philadelphi Times.

TWO EXQUISITE feathers.
rhe One from the Unwie1dy Elephant, the
Other from the Water Snake.


Other from the Water Snake.
Two. new, exquisite sorts of leather have
recently appeared. Both are studies in
color and both are costly in the extreme,
yet they are wholly unlike. One, elephant
hide. is undyed--only tanned-and it takes
a most beautiful brown tone. 1t is pecu-
liar, being decidedly and irregularly rough,
yet as soft as the finest calf. The other
skin, which is that of the watersnake, is,
on the contrary, as thin and smooth as
satin. 1t shows markings in gray and
white that are tender, and, if one can for
get his snakeship, most bewitching.
AS yet neither of the skins has been
seen at any but the most select shops, and
it is probable that the cost will keep them
both select for a long time to come. The
lowest price quoted for an elephant card
case, is $50, and that means one of the
plainest make. A simple snakeskin
purse is marked $25. and $3S does not
purchase any great elaboration, only gold
finish and clasp. Whether this high rate
is due to difficulty in the process or to the
scarcity of the skins is not to be ascer>
tanned. In either case the result is the
same.
The new feathers are valuable additions
to the leather supply beyond doubt.
Whether or not they will ever become
popular-that is, whether or not the sup
ply will ever sufficiently increases a
question impossible to answer at the pres
ent time-MOntreal Star

An English Beauty.

It is now ten years since the beautiful
Lady Helen Vincent Duncombe made
her bow to London society under the
chaperonage of her sister, the duchess of
Leinster. Her grace's death leaves Lady
Helen Vincent. as she has now become,
the most beautiful woman of London so,
ciety. She is of slender figure, with a
perfect bust full arms and face exquis.
itely chiseled and denoting intelligence of
a high order. Her skin is white4with
the whiteness of snow. her eyes are a
light blue. Her husband, Sir Edgar Vim,
cent, not SO many years ago, was voted
the handsomest man in the household
troops, to which he belonged in the ca,
pacity of captain, in the Coldstream
guards. AT present he occupies the lucra>
tive position Of financial adviser to the
khedive and director-general Of the Otto
man bank. Lady Helen comes from a
stock that has given England many beau,
tics. Her great-grandmother oh her
mothers side was known as the beau
tiful Miss Lindley," and became the wife
of Richard Brinsley Sheridan, author of
.'The Rivals" himself very good-look-
ing man. Other descendants of Sheri-
dan noted for their beauty We're Lady
set, at one time Englands crowned
Queen Of Beauty" and the mother Of
the present Marquis of Dufferin. And
all these women not only inherited the
good looks for which their brilliant an
cestor was noted but also some at least
of the wit that made his fame. Lady
Helen Vincent was the brightest of the
Duncombe sisters. and did not make the
mistake of marrying for love and position
alone, like her late sister, the Duchess OF
Leinster. Her grace, while in the flesh,
was always hard pressed for money and
was very glad Of the several hundred
pounds per year which the enormous sales
of her photographs yielded her. Sir
Edgar is a millionaire and is growing
richer every day.-Munsey's Magazine.

Costly in Mexico.

The bridegroom in Mexico finds mar
riage a very costly business. He is ex-
pected to buy the trousseau, and he is for
tunate if he can satisfy the extravaganza
sanctioned by custom and prompted by
ardent passion. Young men from the
country are said to be often seen in the
City of Mexico purchasing all sorts of
finery for the ladies of their choice, and
the spectacle they present as they consult
the measurements, which they carry with
them for all sorts of garments, is very
amusing Chicago Tribune.

Old Heads and Young Hearts

You sometimes see conjoined in elderly in
diyiduals, but, seldom behold an old man or
woman as exempt from infrmties as in
youth. But these intirmities may be miti-
gated in great measure by the daily and reg
nvigorant, anti-rheumatic and sustaining
medicine of the highest order, which also
removes dyspepsia, constipation, biliousness
and kidney trouble. 1t is adapted to the use
Of the most delicate and feeble.

NO Fancy PRAYERS.

One Of the best stories told by Dean
Hole in his Memories" is of an old
fashioned cathedral verger, 'lord of the
aisles,'' who one noon found pious Wis
itor on his knees in the sacred edifce.
The verger FASTENED up to him and said,
in tone of indignant excitement: The

ter this N-shaped chimney at the bottom
of the left stem of the huge masonry let
ter, and is first met with a jet of steam:
At the top of the same stem spray OF
water drives the SCOT and foul gases
down, allowing only almost pure vapor to
escape up the last or righthand steRa OF
the n. Half of the smoke acids, and up,
wards of 95 per cent of the SCOT are thus
removed Such a chimney, it is said,
can be built for about $3.50. - st. Louis

To tho CITY cns consurners.

The undersigned beg to inform the
public Of the real reason why the city
gas is so much tainted with sulphur.
The sulphur has been in the gas for
more than two weeks-fully a week be-
fore any of the new force had anything
to do with its manufacture. The
trouble is that the sponge now being
used for purifying is about worn out
and needs renewing this must
be done or 90 back to the use of lime.
The latter had been used as a purifier

remedies would necessitate an outlay OF
more than $500, and the trustees do not
wish to incur this expense now, In view
of the near completion Of the new pro-
cess. which Mr.. Harvey expects to put
in operation within ten days or two
weeks. If this new process is a success
there will be no use for purifying boxes
at all. In the meantime the trustees,
