Trying to Get Out of the Way of d.
and o. Train When 1t Hurt Him.
Mr.. r. H. Noyes, in letter to The Even
ing Star, states that incorrect accounts
have been circulated about the accident
which occurred to Arthur Noyes at the
crossing of E street northeast and the Bal
timcre and Ohio railroad. August IA. He
states that Arthur is only a child of six.
IL stead Of boy of sixteen, and that eye
" itr esses of the occurrence declare that
Arthur, in company with another child.
was crossing the tracks when some one
who was standing near noticed train ap-
preaching, and yelled at the children to
turn back. Arthurs companion succeeded
in doing this, but Arthur himself stumbled
and fell. and the wheels of the locomotive
drawing the train passed over the side of
his foot. Mr.. Noyes says 1t seems pre-
posterous that a child of his age should
attempt to board a swiftly-moving train, as
Arthur was said to have been doing, and
desires to also correct any impression that
may exist that he was playing about the
railroad.

VILLAGE DOGS AND FENCES.

Of late years it has become quite a
general practice in the East to remove
all street and roadside fences in coun-
try villages and their immediate
suburbs. If the lawns are kept in
good order down to the sidewalks,
paths and main street, it gives to the
town akind of democratic, social air
and freedom from neighborhood ex-
clusiveness, as represented in the
ordinary fence, but it is still ques-
ton whether or no some barrier to
the encroachments upon private
rights and property is not as o whole
absolutely necessary even in the most
placid of country villages. If flowers
or small ornamental plants of any
kind are to be cultivated in village
gardens, they must be protected from
the village dogs of various breeds and
races, else broken stems and wilted,
scorched foliage will soon indicate the
source of injury. Muzzling does not
in the least prevent the village dogs
from scorching the foliage of rare and
beautiful plants, especially the fine
leayed conifers. 1t is surprising that
such trees and shrubs should be
planted only to be mutilated and
scorched by the village dog. New

How We Go to Sleep.

7 -
"Order is heavens first law" and
the truth is manifested even in the
process of going to sleep. When 8
man drops of to sleep, says the O1n-
ainnati Medical journal, his body does
not do SO ell at once, so to speak.
Some senses become dormant before
others, and always in the same order.
AS he becomes drowsy the eyes close
and the sense of seeing is at rest. It is
Quickly followed by the disappearance
of the sense of taste. He next loses
the sense Of smell and then, after q
short interval, the tympanum becomes
insensible to sound, or rather the
nerves which run to the brain from ii
fail to arouse any sense OF hearing.
The last sense to leave is that of touch,
and in some hypersensitive people 1t
is hardly ever dormant. Even in their
case, however, there is no discriminat-
ing power or sense Of what touched
them. This sense is also the first to
1eturn upon awakening. Then hearing
follows suit, after that taste, and then
the eyes become able to fash impress
sions back to the brain. The sense OF
smell, oddly enough, though 1t is by
no means the first to go, is the last to
come back. The same gradual loss OF
power is observed in the muscles and
sinews as we'll as in the senses. Slum-
:; Der begins at the feet and slowly
spreads up the limbs and trunk until
it reaches the brain, when unconscious
ness is complete and the whole body is
at rest. This is why sleep is impossi-

Artificial Marble.

Nine-tenths of the marble-topped
tables and so on-what I might call
furniture marble-seen in this coun-
try, are made of artificial marble, said
man in the trade.
Thousands of tons of this mock mar
BILE are made annually, and even men
in the trade can scarcely tell the diff
ference between the real and the false
article, for the markings, or mar
blings, go wholly through the block,
and are not merely superficial. The
basis of the whole is combination OF
limestone and chalk, which, chemical
ly treated, can be made of any shade
desired. The artificial marble in the
rough is placed in water bath, and
upon this is sprinkled sort of warm
isb, consisting of sesquio2ide of iron,
gum, and turpentine, and all manner
of marbled designs are produced when
the turpentine is broken up by the ad-
dition OF water.
Any pattern Of marbling can be pro-
duced to order. Once such pattern
appears, the air is expelled from the
block, and the colors are fixed by the
immersion of the stone in sulphate
and warm water baths, and then an
other bath of sulphate and zinc SO
closes MP the pores and hardens the
stone that it acquires the density of
the natural article, and can be cut and
polished in the same manner.-Ex.

THE SUMMER co1FFURE.

It's blessing to the summer girl
that the pompadour is in fashion.
Nothing will more quickly mar her
beauty and make her detected, hope
less looking young person, than to
attempt curly bang if her hair does
not wave by nature. Brushing the
hair back in q pompadour does not as
a rule tend to make the summer girl
more beautiful, but if her hair is thus
arranged she is sure to look neat and
cool, two compensations worth striy-
ing for during the heat of July aud
August. The pompadour at present
is strictly in fashion. 1t must be
quite high and is softer and more be-
coming if the hair is first waved before
being drawn back.
Pulled Coiffures are the vogue foi
the summer. The English bun with
its crosswise pufs is much affected
Frequently the entire back hair is ar
ranged IN series of pufs. Puffs of
the side instead of waves are worn by
ultra fashionable summer girls-New

All About Lead Pencils.

The ordinary sized lead pencil, such
as one gets when he goes into store
and asks for so lead pencil, is seven
inches in length and trife more than
quarter of an inch thick. Pencils
are made in many different styles and
shapes, and for many special uses.
Special pencials of very small diam
eter are made for mathematical instru-
ments. Another small diameter PEN
Gil is the programme pencil made for
dancing orders, of which the sale in
this country is estimated ut 5000
gross annually. Programme pencils
are made round and hexagon in shape,
and finished in variety of colors and
styles and some are wound with silk.
Programme pencils are sold sharpened
and with ring and cord and tassel
attached, ready for use. Other small
pencils made are those used for tab
lets and memorandum books. Check
ing pencils, with red, blue and green
crayons are now used extensively in
commercial establishments and by ex-
press and railroad companies, and in
almost every Office. Thousands of
gross of checking pencils are sold an
uually, and the sale of them is con-
stantly increasing. Crayon pencils
for various uses are made of all colors
and in many tints New York Sun.
