THE MODEST md HONEST TR UTn.
The Register does us too proud in
congratulating us on what it says is
our success in laying the dust of New
Haven. we cannot honestly accept it's
congratulation. If we were as deep in
journalism as some newspapers are
we might modestly claim that our eff
forts had brought down the beneficent
rain and snow that have covered the
streets and put to shame the partial
kindness of the Board of Public Works,
which has only been shown toward
horses. But, to tell the solemn truth,
we have not even prayed for the beau
tiful rain and the beautiful snow that
have so OPPORTUNITY come. We cam
not. therefore claim that their coming
has in any way been helped by what
the Register is pleased to call our in
fluence." 1t Is either case of most
timely accident, or a case of tempering
the wind and the dust to the shorn
lambs that gambol on and around New
Havens famous green. We shall not
inquire too closely which it is, being
content that it is either, and glad that
New Haven has been treated better by
Nature than she has been by her Board
of Public Works.
81
Having assumed that we have
brought down the rain and the snow,
the Register goes on to assume that we
shall now clear the streets and the
walks of snow. OF course we shall not
undertake that job. 1t will, however.
be done, partly by the hand of man
and partly by the same powerful Ma
ture that has cleared the streets and
| the walks of the awful dust. When it
has been done there will be another
| dust plague, and though we shall pro-
| test against it we do not expect that
there will be such timely rains and
SHOWS as will justify the Register in
again congratulating us on our pull
with Nature. We expect that il the
dust plague is radically dealt with 1t
will be by the Board of Public Works,
and we hope that Board has not been
so encouraged by the rain and the snow
of the past week, and by the Register 5
explanation of them, that it will con-
tihue to leave human beings to the I'M
certain kindness Of Nature while it
spends it's time considering what is
good for horses in the winter months.
And we also hope that instead of vast
| ing time in admiringly gazing upon our
| imagined influence with Nature the
Register will join us in the forIorn hope
of trying to influence the Board of Pub
lie Works to do it's plain duty.

FASHION NOTES.
Tricks with Cording.

A pretty notion lately followed is the
cording of black coats with narrow
white all along the edges. The effect is
dressy at little effort. A capped coat
treated upon the edges In this way Is
worn with little black hat with soft
crown of white velvet, and the effect is
really very good. Cording that is used
in novel way appears on the princess
dress of the accompanying picture. 1t
is here covered with spangles, but in
that form is so far from durable that
plain cord is preferable. Two pieces of
it here outline the yoke, and others
edge the three black velvet tabs that
start from the yoke and end in points
below the waist The yoke itself and
the stock collar are of black velvet, the
dress goods is old rose silk crepon and
pink silk is used for lining.

velvet, all color and glitter, are still

tent and grandeur the great Mammoth
Cave has been discovered in Edmonson
county, Kentucky, in which Mammoth
Cave is situated. The newspapers of

pIored. 1t is said that a company has
been formed to exploit the cave, that
it will be lighted with electricity and
that an electric railway will be built to
its mouth from Cave City.
