Novel Fire Engine.

A quadricycle, composed Of two tan
dem bicycles arranged side by side, has
just been invented in Paris, to serve as
fire engine in cases Of emergency. 1t
is worked by four men and is fitted up
with the necessary hose pipes and fit
tings, which occupy the space between
the riders. On reaching the scene of &C
ton it will be the work of a minute to
bring the hose pipes into play on the
fire and jet of water Of 80 meters in
length and % meters in height can be
discharged on building It estimated
that $4,000 liters of water can be
brought into play per hour This novel
machine has the advantage in speed
over the present fire engine. New York

teemed, and violets have not lost their
prestige, while one of the latest novelties
consists of sprigs of foliage alone, to be
employed as a trimming. Exaggerated silk
and velvet pansies are also seen.
Ostrich feathers, both large and small,
are much used. They are always fragile
and always beautiful and require renewing
even more frequently than do flowers in
order to look well.
Immense quantities of tulle and other
diaphanous material are to be employed for
summer millinery on both hats and bon
nots. There is no limit to the number of
times these delicate, easily wilted fabrics
must be changed, but while they are fresh
they are very pretty.
The width of headgear seems to be by
no means diminished by the reduction in
the size Of sleeves. Broad trimmings con-
tinue to be the rule, although they are
generally unbecoming
Some of the large imported hats have a
long scarf at the back, composed of chiffon
or tulle with applications and a frilled end
OF lace. These are very effective and charm
Ing, but are only suited to long purses, as
women who cannot afford a variety of hats
will find such fanciful millinery not at all
useful
The illustration given today shows q
novel capote. 1t has small crown of black
spangies, which is surrounded by white
lilies. A high spray of white lilies stands
up on the right side, while below it Is a
butterfly of plated black lace, held at the
middle by paste ornament. The buds
and foliage of the lily are introduced in
the trimming. JUDO CuoLLET.

CROWNED AT OLYMPIA.
Honors Paid to the victors In the Grecian
Athletic Contests.

AOnors Paid to the Victors In the Grecian
Athletic Contests.
Immediately after each contest the
successful athlete appeared before the
judges and received palm branch, and
his name was heralded before the as
sembled throng But at the close Of all
the contests, on the final day OF the fes-
tival, the much coveted prizes were dis
tributed Into the altis at early morn
ing streamed the long, joyous procession,
headed by the judges, the religious and
civil authorities, and the public guests,
escorting the now brilliantly clad ath-
letes and victorious horses bedecked with
flowers The song they sang was song
Ct victory by Archilochus, which began:
"Hail to thee, powerful Hercules, con-
queror in the games, and to thee also,
Iolaus, both famed for the spearl Te-
nella, tene1la! All hail to the victor!'
A little boy from the priestly class
had already cut with golden knife
some branches from the olive tree plant
ed by Hercules, and crowns made from
these branches had been exposed in the
temple Of Hera upon beautiful chrys-
elephantine table made by Colotes. The
crowns were then brought to the temple
Of Zeus where, before the representa-
tives Of all Greece, the judges, clad in
purple, crowned the heads Of the victori-
GUS athletes. This Olympic crown, as
the supreme reward Of Greek ambition,
is well expressed in the story of dag
oras. Himself victor in the games, he
returned in his old age to Olympia with
his two sons Both bore off prize, and
then ran and caught their father on
their shoulders as the crowd of pilgrims
pelted them with flowers. ''Die, dag
oras, !" they cried, ''for thou hast moth
ing more to live for!' With sigh Of
joy the old man expired.
The crowning of Olympia did not end
the victors' glory. Their statues were
made by the most famous sculptors, their
portraits painted by the most sl1illful
artists, their deeds glorified in verse.
They were Toasted and maintained at
public expense, received seats Of honor
at the theater and were cherished as
gods in the hearts Of their countrymen.
AS Pindar has we'll expressed it, ''He
that sovercometh hath, because Of the
games, sweet tranquility throughout
his life forevermore. 1.-THE Old Olym-
pic Games,' by Professor Allan Mar
quand, in Century.

complished thing that they are smaller-it
will make perceptible difference in the
amount of dress goods it is necessary to
buy for a gown.
The jacket remains the correct outside
wear with tailor gowns and for young girls.
It may be single or double breasted, with
short or long revers, these diminishing
very gradually if the jacket has an open
front. The fronts may be square or round
at the lower corners, and the edge may be
finished with one or several rows of stitch
ing, this being repeated on the sleeves,
revers and all suitable places. Embroidery
on the same material GALLON, novel ar
rangement of plating or gathering the
sleeve; little pockets real or simulated,
disposed to the best advantage, and a lin
ing of plain or changeable silk of light
tone are some of the means used to give
individuality and effect to the new Jackets.
The illustration shows striking spring
costume. The godet skirt is of brown
serge and is entirely plain. The bodice is
of velours chinois The full fronts open
over plastron of the same material and
are connected by two straps of black satin
fastened by buttons. Two similar straps
adorn each shoulder. The plastron has
yoke of white satin, trimmed with lace
and an application of black satin. Epau-
let's of white satin and lace fall over the
tops of the brown serge sleeves, which are
finished at the wrist by plated cuffs Of
yelours The belt is of black satin

NEW MILLINERY.

Flowers Are tho Principal Trimming,
Though Feathers Still Hold Their Own.
Absurdly full skirts and sleeves and
monster specimens of millinery have had
their day. The only exaggeration that
strikes one at the present time is the
height of feathers and aigrets that are
not only absurd, but supremacy inconven-
lent, as they brush against cab and car
riage ceilings and become damaged in SO
doing. 1t is hoped, however, that this lofty
trimming will disappear and that low ar
engagements will prevail next season. The
high adornments have been worn so long
that it is about time to expect change,
regardless of whether it is beautiful or not.
Floral trimming will be characteristic
of this season, and there are an immense
number of artificial botanical products to
choose from. Roses are exceedingly es-

At the sale of Lady Blessington's

jewelry, which were disposed of before
she left London for the last time, one

REMINISCENT.

I'm only rock, big black rock. !
Standing alone by the sea,
With no one near my story to hear.
I'm as lonesome as lonesome can be.
I'm only a rock, q grim old rock,
Watching the waves on the shore,
The sharer for years i'll the joys and fears
OF maidens and youths by the score.
I'm only rock, a barren old rock,
Sick of such tales of love,
And almost groan, though I'm only stone,
When they swear by the stars above.
I'm only rock, bleak old rock,
But know thing or two
Whethermade at night or in broad daylight
Such pledges are seldom true.
I'm only a rock, a strange old rock,
Dreading the summer once more,
When in their glory they IL tell the old story
have heard SO often before.
I'm only a rock, a deserted old rock,
Half buried in snow and sand,
Sport of the sea when the wind blows free,
My weary vigil I stand.

Lesson In Natural History.

A gilded steer above the cupola on
the Exchange building at the stockyards
tells the cattlemen which way the wind
blows The steer is work Of art and
much admired, and yet it remains
contradiction to the belief that cattle
men are observers of the habits OF cattle.
"What does a steer do when the wind
blows hard?'' an old plains cattleman
was asked.
'sHe turns his tail to the wind, humps
his back and waits for fair weather,
answered the plainsman.
fsThere's a steer that doesn t, " said
his questioner, pointing to the gllded
steer on the cupola, which faced ten
mile an hour wind, disregarding the
well known habit Of his kind.
sWell, if that amt SO, I'll be beat, "
said the old cattleman. "But it's just
like tbs market, goes by contrarles.
Perhaps that's why it faces the WIND
But I guess more likely they let the
contract fer that vane to tenderfoot
who never saw steer and never was
out OF the city"
Down in the yards the wind blew
from the north, and every steer and COW
had its back to the wind and stood
bumped up, placidly chewing its cud.
The pictures Of plains cattle in a
storm by Frederic Remington all show
the cattle with heads away from the
wind, and plainsmen swear to the COR
rectness of Remington s pictures. 70 be
consistent, the gilded steer over the Gu
pola should be reset to do as do his
brethren on the plains and in the pens
of the stockyards. AS it is he is an an
noyance to many of the cattlemen at
the yards, who are consistent in all
things Kansas City Star.

A DRAM oE HERRlCK.

A DREAM OF HERRlCK.
[Scene: The vicarage garden at Dean Prior.l
Lo, in my dream saw shady lawn,
Whereon / lay at sweet tongued Herrick's
feet,
A group of maidens, glorious as the dawn.
Plenished q snow white board with dainties
sweet.
Over the ivied wall spied Taps head,
Who sold his mothers spectacles for beer;
Irreverent Gryll, who ne'er grace hath said,
And Bunce, who owes the poet still, stood
near.
These all agape surveyed the table spread
With country dishes-cresses from the stream
And silver junket crowned with golden
cream.
The rustic banquet DER, fair Julia ran
Within the house the poets lutte to bring;
The maidens sitting round us sewed and span,
And in their queenly manner babe us sing.
took the lutte from Julia's shapely hand,
And sang of her whose plighting ring wore,
My Phyllis-fairest maid in all the landl
Inspired, sang as e'er sang before.
Then Herrick followed, and with easy grace
He sang of Julia's breath, Anthea's charms
OF Dianemes form, Electra's face,
And all the gracious curves Of Silvia's arms.
Willing was to own the master voice,
Unwilling that my love should share my fall,
When Herrick's whisper made my heart re-
joice-
"Thy Phyllis doth, I own, excel them air.

Of stories that we are going to establish
the free coinage Of silver, and the result
has been that foreign capital was fright
ened; 1t did not come to us. Why have we
have held up the nation and said you shall
not have any legislation unless you give
Us the free coinage of silver. Why should
we not have had bad times under these
circumstances? And let me say that, in
my humble judgment, we will have bad
times until the people Of this country settle
once for all that the credit of this govern
ment shall remain untarnished and be as
good as gold.
This is an attempt to let the nation live
with its honor destroyed. And what Is a
nation without honor, to live with the
finger of scorn pointed at us, as the great
pie that deliberately debased it's coinage
and repudiated its debts? Are railroad men
ready to uphold party that leads to that?
There are higher calls than parties, and in
my judgment they will be answered on the
I'd of November, and in the days of the
past, the American freemeE will be true
to their country.
But want each employee Of the c. and
Q. to understand that 1t is his duty to study
this question for himself. Let him get

both sides and discuss 1t with every one
