BULLION EMBROIDERY.

little Shops Where Uniforms Are Made
Gorgeous with Gold.
One sees from the sidewalk of Il quiet
street cast of Third avenue Il Zig bnso-
mcnt shop where two or three girls nrp
bending over wcll-worn embroidery
frames. The samples of their work
displayed in the windows show thnt
they are making bullion embroidery
to decorate the coats or caps of milt
tary officers, policemen, and others
whose trades Or professions require
uniforms. There is less to be done in
the bullion embroidery trade in this
city than in most old world cities, but
there is II constant and growing de-
mand for the handiwork of the bullion
embroiderers, and the trade is one that
keeps its own in spite of l~abor-saving
devices.
Bullion embroidery worked directly
upon the stuff OF the cap or coat is still
the proper thing for the uniformed
man who would have all his accoutIe-
ments right. The embroidery shops
are usually little places, and he pro-
prictor is sometimes a mi The

enlarged or reduced in accordance
with the needs of the particular piece
Of work in hand. The embroiderers
are usually girls, often very young,
though the designers are sometimes
men. Embroidery designing is not n
| very difficult business, because little
| originality is demanded, since the trade
| has well-established traditions, and
there r plenty of books to guide the
designer. There are no new designs
to be made in masonic, military or
naval emblems, and even the myrad
shooting clubs Of the German quarter
are not likely to require anything that
will demand great ingenuity Of the en-
broidcry designer.
The girls that do the actual work OF
bullion embroidery are often native
Americans, though the trade Is mainly
controlled by foreigners, French and
German for the most part. The par
ticular shop here indicated Is managed
by a Hebrew, and the pretty girls Wis.
ible from the street as they lean over
their work seem to have Jewish feo,

FLOORS FOR STABLES.
D the Long Run Cement 10 More 20,
nomicsl Than Wood.

III anon VoOus
In the western prairie states wood
80 perhaps the most extensively used
material for flooring stables for stock.
Il Ia largely used on account Of its con-
venience and general adaptability.
though there is n growing feeling that
IL Is on the whole quite satisfactory.
Tho plank floor is short lived; IL is
made water-tight with difficulty, and
above all it is Objectionable for horses
that are confined much to the stall.
For cattle and hogs the same objec-
tons prevail to a considerable degree.
Cement floors are gaining in favor and
are quite acceptable though rather ex-
pensive. They should also be covered
With plank for horses. The cement
floors in the new station barn have
been in use over q year now and have
given good satisfaction. When well
bedded they are very satisfactory for
cattle, hogs and sheep. The station
floors were made by laying three
inches Of concrete composed Of five
parts of clean, sharp sand to one of
Portland cement, well mixed and
packed well on a foundation of sand
and gravel, and the surface was then
finished with a three-quarter inch COW
ering OF cement and sand in proportion
OF four OF cement to seven of sand and
troweled smooth and level except as
otherwise provided. These floors have
worn well even where horses wearing
shoes have walked on it Such a floor
IL cold in winter, however, unless used
inside OF a warm Luilding and bedding
used freely. This kind Of a floor may
bc made Mt n cost of ten cents u square

Els long hair M unfailing mark Of
genius?" The answer is: No. notnec-
essarily. but IL is certainly n mark Of
policy. II does not require any pro-
found wisdom on the part OF n public
performer to know that IL IL better 70
lie talked about for his uglincss or his
eccentricity than not TO have his per
sonality discussed mt all. and IL n man
I've 80 unfortunate Us 10 possess q nor
nal face and figure, with the average
number of features and limbs. in what
quarter must he look for individuality
save in his hair?
NJ. Anne Iachaume. the young
French pianist who is this year touring
with Nvarde. and who did the name
last year with Ysaye, tells how he hap
pencd this season to bloom out ns one OF
the long.hnircd brethren. When no
first came to this country NJ. Lachaume
wore his hair in everyday fashion, and
also cultivated q rather tentative beard.
People heard him play. exclaimed:
slow unassuming!" went away. and
forgot him. Since his conversion, how
ever, the same persons cry: How hid
cous! but the man is evidently n gen.
rus. Bravo" and they depart. and this
tune do not forget.
10 was Ysaye who brought this
change about. Last year, in the course
of their travels, the two artitts found
themselves in u town somewhere in the
west. They were sitting in n room to-
gethcr, when Isaye eXclaincd: ITS
no use, Lachaume, l can't stand that
beard Of yours any longer; it is too
ugly. and il must come Off"
"But, my dear man." answered the
alarmed pianist, 81 have taken such
pains to grow that beard; 1t has cost me
years Of labor and anxiety; besides, you
know one must have something dis
tinctive about one"
"Ies, OF course, 1 know that, but all
you've got TO do is to let your back hair
grow like mine. And there y no time
like the present, either, so you just sit
down in that chair there and We'll make
short work Of the business"
No sooner said than done. In n few
seconds Lachaume was sitting trcm-
bling in the chair, while the great
Ysaye welded the razor about his d.
voted chin.

THE QUEEN AND THE "ORB.''
How the Brave Girl Suffered Silently at
the Coronation.

How the Brave Girl Suffered Silently Ut
the Coronation.
At the coronation the ceremonies
lasted more than four hours, and
throughout the queen played her part
with wonderful composure. Care, says
q writer, had been taken to provide q
crown suitable for her small head, but
no one had thought about reducing the
size of the orb which she was required
to carry in her tiny hand.
"What am | to do with it?" she asked,
in concern.
Garry it. your majesty" replied
Lord John Thyme.
"Am ]? II is very heavy,"the queen
answered in a tone of amazement.
However, it was too late for protest,
and she obeyed the ~cxigencies Of tho
situation.
A worse mistake had been made
with regard to the ruby coronation
ring. The jewcler had made il to At
her maiesty's little finger, whereas the
archbishop declared that according TO
the rubric it must be put upon the
larger finger, and accordingly forced
it into that position, The queen bore
her painfully sv, ing finger with the

FEAR A GREAT FLOOD
DANGER AT CHIPPEWA FALLS,
WISCONSIN,.
Water Held Back by the Enormous
Ice Gorge Threatens to Inundate the
Whole NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Loses
the Fight on a FOUL.
Chippewa Falls Disaster.

A calamity distressing in its results
and in some respects unique is that which
has befallen the people of Chippewa Falls,
Wis, where an ice gorge forming in the
river has damned up the water. causing
it to overflow and Hood the surrounding
territory. The extent of the disaster and
the formidable nature of the elemental
forces causing it may be conceived from
the fact that within a very short time the
river has risen to Il height of t~wenty-four
feet. There is danger of it's changing it's
course and flow ing into the town. AS it
is, the little place is flooded. buildings on
certain streets being submerged to the
second story. The inhabitants are get
ting away and carrying as much of their
property with them as possible. Not only
Chippewa Falls. but several adjacent
towns, must suffer unless the gorge is
broken within a very short time. I'M
mense quantities of dynamite have been
exploded with a view to breaking the
gorge. 1t is reported that nearly 5000
people are homeless, and the intense cold
makes their situation worse.
At the time this is written the water is
still rising, with little hope of breaking
the gorge. The Chippewa River is TWEEN
ty-eight feet above low-water mark. All
places of business on Spring, River and
Lower Bridge streets are vacated. One
rumor to the effect that the river would
cut out Il passageway for itself through
the high banks north of the Wisconsin
Central Railroad bridge gave rise to great
apprehension. The rivers course is Sc
riously obstructed by the gorge. that has
reached within Il short distance of the,
dam and the turning of the course of the
stream upon the city seems so plausible
that every one is panic-stricken.
