The Lord Mayors Costumes.

three suits of clothes on taking Office,
He wears a wide sleeved. velvet faced,
fur trimmed robe Of purple silk rep on
presenting himself to the lord chancel-

show he wears a robe of superfine scar

lined with pearl satin; this he must

each lord mayor must give bonds for its

happens, it is bought only when the &C.

LITERARY NOTES.


In 1884 Eugene Field wrote story
which he called "The Werewolf. "
When it was finished he laid it aside
and year afterward entirely rewrote
it. In 1885 he again took it up and re-
vised it, and during the nine years be-
tween that time and his death in No
vember last, he rewrote it eight times.
His last revision pleased him and he
decided to print it. But death came
too suddenly, and the story was found,
unpublished, among his effects. Mrs.
Field, concluding to have the story ap-
pear, gave it to the editor of The La
dies home Journal, in which magazine
all Mr.. Fields works, outside of his
newspaper articles, was presented to
the public. The story will be printed
in the next issue of The Journal, strik-
ingly illustrated by Howard Pyle.

4 CrOSSeYed Headlight.

A new thing in track lighting has
been put into service on the New York,
New Haven & Hartford Railroad on
the new "air line flyer" between New
York and Boston. 1t is the cross eyed
headlight, an invention of Col. N. Fl.
Heft, of the electrical department., and
it is said to be such success that it
will be supplied as speedily as possible
to all through fast trains on the road
that run in the night. Superintendent
Ostrander explains the use of the two
headlights, which are set "cross eyed, :"
or precisely as the eyes are set in some
cross eyed persons. They are set thus
so that each will throw light across
the others rays. The light on the
right hand side is thrown ever the left,
and that on the left over the right. 1t
has been found that this arrangement
is of great advantage in throwing a
light around curve. The single head
light hitherto in use shines straight
ahead when the locomotive is turning
s curve. The fields, or whatever is
alongside of the tracks upon which the
train is dashing, are illuminated, but
the rails ahead for the moment are in
total darkness. With the two lights
set, it makes no difference which way
the curve turns, for one or the other of
the headlights eliminates the path
