 lSiNGtASS MODELS.
\ New Device to Enable Them to Show
 How Their Goods Look.

A recent device of the tajors to lure customers into contracting bills is the figure of man done in isinglass, says the New York Sun. This figure is about foot high, and is set in a square of cardboard. Sometimes it is in the shape of man wearing a sack suit. while in others he wears cutaway outfit, and in others again frock suit. The man himself is transparent as to body, but his face is painted on, and he wears collar and necktie of the latest style, in paint. He serves is an illus ! tration, and he is designed to do away with one of the banes of a tailor's life, the man who comes in to look at goods and says:
 "Ah, yes; it looks very nice in the piece but I'm not sure it would suit me so well made up. I'll wait until you cut coat for some one else, and then I'll come around and see how ] like t. ' Now when a customer springs this ancient remark the tailor produces one of his isinglass manikins, lays him over the piece of cloth in question, and To! he stands forth fully clothed in a wrinhleless suit of that pattern. With cloth cf uniform color CT small pat tern this device works very well, but in large cheek or stripe the pattern is so greatly out Of proportion to the size of the suit as shown on the model that the customer is likely to be afrighted by its apparent loudness, and the wise tailor uses his isinglass figure only with the more modest designs of cloth.

THE FORMIDABLE UMBRELLA.
\ French Tragedian Finds It Mightier
 Than the Sword.

The affection of the collector for the objects of his zeal has been amusingly illustrated by story told of Melingue, a French tragedian who had a mania for gathering together great quantities of old vestmentS, arms and similar an- tique apparatus. Among his treasures was a beautiful and keen-edged sword which had belonged to Philip H., son of Emperor Charles V.
 Having worn this sword in piece in which he was performing, Melingue was making his way homeward in Paris one night. The weather was rainy, and he carried an umbrella. Under his cloak he bore the precious sword of Philip II.
 rComing around a corner, Melingue was suddenly menaced by two sneak thieves. He was an expert fencer, and knew that with the sword he could quickly beat the rascals off. But he said to himself:
 What! Betray to these rascals that have such precious possession? No! They might be too much for me, after all, and then they would get it. l will keep it out of sight"
 So saying, he placed his left hand on the hiit of the sword inside his cloak, and with the other hand let down his umbrella. With this as a weapon, he assaulted the footpads with such force and spirit that he put them to fight.
 In this case the umbrella turned out to be mightier than the sword.

AN OLD PLOT.
But in This Case a New Heroine Was
 Worked In.

Worked In.
 Young story-writers are apt to begin a literary career by telling, in some form or other, the story which follows. But itmust have taken a real genius to make a COW the heroine. This particular story is attributed by the Philadelphia Times, in which we find it, to Texas locomo- tive engineer.
 The engineer was running his train at full speed, when, he says, his atten- tion was attracted by COW which seemed to be coming straight-down the track to meet the train. He put his hand on the valve and puffed out three sharp whistles.
 Still the COW came on, believing at every step, and acting altogether in an unusual manner. As much from curi- osity as anything else, the engineer slowed up and sent the fireman ahead to see what was the matter with the COW. No sooner did the COW see that the speed of the train was slackening, and that the fireman was going to invessi- gate, than she turned and ran straight back down the track, stopping now and then, looking over her shoulder and switching her tail as much as to say: Come on!'' s.
 The man followed, and by and by saw the COW stop short at a high trestle. Going up, he discovered another COW which had got herself fastened in the trestlework squarely across the rail.
 As soon as the animal was released, the two cows lost no time in scampering away.

CARPETS WERE UNKNOWN.
How the Fourteenth Century Mansions
 Were Furnished.

How the Fourteenth Century Mansions
 Were Furnished.
 Carpets in the fourteenth century were unknown luXuries, says Good Words, but the fashion of strewing the apart ments with rushes was being gradually abandoned. Bushes were still used in the retainers' hall, but for the better rooms sweet-scented herbs and fragrant twigs were usually employed.
 In the fourteenth century windows were apertures filled with glass so as to admit light, but to exclude wind. The walls also were frequently hung with cloth or tapestry to protect the inmates of the room from the many currents of air that penetrated the strong but bad ly built walls. We learn from various ancient documents that it was the duty of the serving men and pages to sweep out the principal apartments, but as the use of water is rarely mentioned, damp and fragrant leaves and twigs must have aided not only in collecting the dust, but also toward refreshing the at mosphere in such costantly closed rooms, fresh air being only admitted through the doors opening on to the battlements or balconies.
 From old inventories at Thurleigh and elsewhere we ascertain how scant- fly furnished were these ancient man. sions, although they seem to have been abundantly supplied with fagons and drinking cups in gold, silver and finely engraved pewter, besides an infinite number of black jacks or cups made o4 leather.
