HAIL TO THE MUFF.
Almost Indispensable Part of Fat hiOn
able Costume.

Almost Indispensable Part of q Fat hiOn-
able Costume.
There has been a united effort be-
tween furriers and modistes to rein
state muffs in favor. Last season bon
nets and muffs to match were extreme
novelties and were worn by a few of
the ultra-fashionable women. The
style was so pleasing and picturesque
that it has grown in favor and muffs are
prominently to the fore.
With all fur capes and coats muffs
are sold to correspond and no fashion
able toilet is complete without the COM
Portable adjunct. The slight awkward
ness pertaining to carrying mutf in
the hand has been obviated and chains
or ribbons with jeweled buckles are
used, by which they are suspended
about the neck.
The very latest means of carrying the
muff is by a string of pearl beads.
Broad ribbons matching the hue of the
gown are also tied through the muff
and worn around the neck. A round,
full muff or fur to match the wrap, of
the same material is quite common.
Hat, cape and muff are frequently of
the same material. Almost all the cloth
muffs are trimmed with fur and lace,
and are made in all sorts of unique
shapes and pretty styles. The fiat muff,
with triple flowing frills of lace, satin
and cloth, is exceedingly artistic.
Artificial flowers no longer adorn the
outside of the mutf; instead single
chrysanthemum of favorite color or a
cluster of natural roses may be fastened
high up on the left corner, allowing the
stems to fall at will. This little caprice
is somewhat aesthetic, but the effect is
very gratifying.
When they are made of material
other than fur, pocket on the flat side,
which may contain kerchief and purse,
makes them useful as well as orna-
mental.
So great is the variety of style in this
latest fashion able article that bits of
ribbon, lace and velvet made into a re-
ceptacle for holding the hands, in any
form or shape, is acceptable.
Muffs need not necessarily be round,
like an abbreviated bolster, but may be
fat. In this case a few thicknesses of
cotton batting, sprinkled with little
sachet powder, lined with satin and COW
cred with the desired fabric, may form
an elaborate creation. 1t may be sewn
together in a fiat seam. which is con-
cealed by series of animal tails and
heads or by band or ribbon tied in a
fascinating bow.-N. Y. World.

A similar device for giving water in a
way to keep the fowls out of the water
vessel is to have a moderately high
box, with Stats up and down one side.
Then set the water dish within, and the
fowls can drink through the Stats. The
top of the box or cover, should be slop-
ing to keep the fowls off from it.

ASPHALT PAvEMENTs.
A New York Lady Describes How They
Are Put Down.

A New York Lady Describes How They
Are Put Down.
Did you ever watch men laying an
asphalt pavement? This morning a
crowd of men are finishing such pave
ment in front of my window. First
there appeared, about two weeks ago,
some men with picks; and in a little
while all the paving stones were loose,
and soon they were picked up and carted
away.
| Next carts appeared having coarse
gravel and dirt which were spread over
the street. This was left for a few days.
This morning crowd of men appeared
with shovels, brooms and curious-look-
ing tools. A big pan on wheels was put
iat the corner. Uuder this pan was fat
piece of iron in which were holes; a fire
was made on this, and the pan was filed
with a soft, tar-like substance of about
the consistency of coal dust. A little
further away a pot filed with liquid
tar was placed over another
fire and was soon boiling. This
tar the men poured from a
pail at the point where the surface met
others who had tools like fat hammer
head in an iron handle, and they pound
ed the tar until it was hard, looking like
a black seam. Now the coal-dust SUBJ
stance was taken from the pan and put
in carts, from which it was dumped
smoking hot on to the coarse, cinder-
like bed of the street. How hard and
fast the men worked in this smoking
stuff, spreading it with shovels and
smoothing it with rakesi Other men
with red-hot iron smoothers, which
they pressed on with all their might,
followed the rakes. The space treated
at one time was the width of the street
and about Is feet irI length.
When the surface was smooth, two
men appeared, pushing a heavy iron
roller. When it reached the edge of the
asphalt, man washed it off with wet
cloth and it was pulled back. This
smoothed the surface, but the men
with the fiat hammer heads and the
,smoothers also worked all the time at
1T. Now came the most interesting
part. An engine on big rollers APP
Speared, on which sat man. At his side
was wheel just like the wheel of a
yacht, and it was used for the same pur-
Ipose-to guide the engine. The man
moved the engine in any direction by
moving this wheel. AS you can imagine,
the road was soon smooth and hard.
When the engine had passed over the
soft asphalt few times, a man APP
ipeared with a wheelbarrow in which
was a dust exceedinly fine and light

Free roads are desirable, but it is much
more important that country should

the combination of poor roads and toll

It Was Only Barrel OF Ale But It
Killed Him.
The largest and smallest skeletons of
humans ever preserved are kept in the
museum of the Royal College of Sur
geons, in Lincoln's Inn Fields, London.
One is eight feet four inches in height.
The other is less than two feet. Charles
Byrne, the famous Irish giant, who was
more generally known as O'Brien, died
il 1888. when he was % years old. His
capacity for liquor was in keeping with
his huge physical proportions. So keen
was his anguish over losing all his prop
eFty-to wit, a 6 3O0-note-that he
drank casls of ale in one day. The day
following he was dead. Byrne had a
great dread of becoming disseeting-
room subject. He made a bargain with
fisherman before he died to take his
body out into the channel and throw it
overheard.
Hunter, the English surgeon, learned
of this arrangement. and by paying the
fishermen $500 he prevailed upon them
to carry out their bargain to the letter,
but to attach a rope to the body and
drag it up again after it had been ini-
mersed. The fishermen served two mas
ters and Hunter got the body.
The tiny skeleton is that of Caroline
Crachami. the Sicilian dwarf, who was
exhibited in Europe in the early part of
the century. The child did not grow
after birth. and before she reached her
teens she died Her body, it is said, was
sold to a British surgeon by her parents.
Beside the giants frame stands one of
the boots Byrne wore when he died. The
skeleton of the dwarf can be slipped
into it as easily as a pipe stem.--N. Y.
