A Woman Inyents a Fireman's Cap.

Mrs John H. Miller, of this city, has
invented a wonderful tireman's cap.
MIR. Miller put on the cap and entered
a smokehouse so densely filled with
smoke that it was impossible to go
near the door without protection, and
there remained IS minutes, with no
possible chance of getting air from the
outside. A fireman connected with
No. Is company entered the smoke
house without the continuance and re-
manned seconds before coming into
the fresh air, half suffocated and gasp
ing for breath. 1t was then that Mr..
Miller tried the invention, and it
worked like charm.
The cap is made of fine strips of as
bestos concerned to the shape of the
head. It is held fast in place by a
rubber band, making it alright. Its
weight is only sixteen ounces, and it
is SO constructed as to enable a person
to carry it on the arm without incon-
venience. There is a strip of mica be-
suffered in this respect. A silk sponge,
through which no smoke can enter,
but which permits the ingress Of air in
plentiful quantities, fills an aperture
for the mouth, and when properly ad-
justed the cap is SO simple that its
efficacy is apparent at a glance.
When it is understood that tiremen
are unable to remain in O smoking
building longer than three or four
minutes at time, an invention of this
character, which enables man to
grope about in a sitting atmosphere
for an hour, certainly reduces chances
of losing life through suffocation to a

The Paper Match,

The latest novelty in tho Broadway
shops is the paper match, for it seems
the time honored scheme of rolling up
piece of paper and using it for a
lighter has been utilized by an in.
ventor in the manufacture of matches.
The invention promises to revolution.
ize match manufacturing, and is par
ticularly timely because the wood for
this paper is constantly growing
scarcer and more costly. The new
matches are considerably cheaper than
wooden matches and weigh much less.
The sticks of these matches consist of
paper rolled together on the bias. The
paper Is rather strong and porous, and
when 1mmerged in a solution of wax,
stearine and similar substance will
easily stick together and burn with a
bright, smokeIess and odorous flame.

SOME OF THE NEW HATS.

There are plenty of picture hats
among the new styles, and the tulle
ties and loops come in nicely as artistic
additions to the costume. You can
have tulle ties OH any kind of hat. 1t
is not necessary to have bonnet to put
them on. Green and violet tulle are
the prettieSt colors. An exquisite little
hat is made of yellow straw-straws, l
was going to say. for the hat Is pecu-
liar arrangement of little straws, set
side by side with Il violet at the end,
forming an edge of violets, all around
the brim. Tulle loops almost conceal the
crown. Another dream dream seems
an especially appropriate term for a
tulle hat has a combination of two
shades of green tulle. There Is absO-
lutely nothing on the hat-a round
black straW-but some stand-up frills
Of light and dark green tulle around the
crown. Almost anybody can have
hat like this. All that is necessary to
do is to buy an untrimmed hat and
cover it over with tulle. A flower or
two to stand up at the back or at the
left side of the front is a great addition.
The tull- ties are knotted in q large bow
under the chin. Flowers underneath
the brim are set at the back where most
Of the hats turn up. In the case OF
nose hats" hat tip down over the face.
the brim is not always bent up at the
back, but instead the whole hat is prop
ped up. as it were, with a bank OF flow
ers and ribbon. Small button roses are
very pretty for the bandeaux under the
brim. A hat that made it's first Np-
pearance on Easter Sunday had Ores
den silk Tam O'Shauter crown with
aigrettes standing up i'll front, and a
spray of pink button roses at the back
both above and underneath the brim.
Small pink roses form pretty crown
for a young girls hat. l saw one in
church last Sunday. 1t had a fine
brown starw brim and no trimming eX-
cept some lily of the valley leaves 10
give height to the wearer. While the
service was going on, the sun kept rls-
ing higher until just at noon ray OF
light struck through the window some
where in the dome of the church and
shown down upon that pink rose crown
fairly clarifying it with light.
Flower hats are faShionab BILE for WO-
men of all ages. A violet bonnet is
q suitable for an elderly lady with white
hair, but made in another shape it be-
fits golden-haired lasse quite as well.

THE OSTRICH FEATHER FAN.

The empire fan is still the favorite,
though it is rivaled by those very large
ones composed of fifteen or twenty
beautiful ostrich feathers. The fan
that is carried by the SWEETEST people is
a double one; that is there are sticks
set in the body of the fan, making sort
of open work strip through the middle.
