"There are tricks in all trades, but
none in ours, !" remarked lawyer to a
friend yesterday. eve do not stoop to
tricks But we do see that our clients
interests do not suffer, and new phase
in the manner in which we look after
tie interests of our clients has been de-
veloped by the vigilance of the tax COM
missioners.
"Unless a lawyer is without expe-
rience in practicing in the surrogate s
court mention is never made of the
value of an estate, if legal acumen can
prevent it, About the last time this
was done was when Jay Gould's will
was filed. If I remember correctly the
value of the estate was given at $751;
100000. Mr.. Gould never paid taxes
on any such an amount as that, but his
heirs had to do it. They did for awhile
and then gave up their residence in the
city. Taxes were lower elsewhere. This
taught lawyers q lesson they have not
forgotten. The tax commissioners can
scan all wills and other similar papers
without getting the best Of any estate
1t used to be that will was no sooner
filed with true estimate of the estate
than the tax officials were after it. -

Modern Awnings.

Scarcely any object is more conspio-
uous in the summer season than the
awning" said Mr.. Bifleton. Sin none
is our progress in civilization more ap-
parent. Awning stripes are made now
adays in great variety Of styles and in
various colors and shades Of color. 1t is
quite possible to get an awning to match
building, or one that shall contrast
with it agreeably. I have seen lately
a large brownstone building equipped
with awnings having alternate stripes
in two shades Of brown, shading admit
rably with the stone, the whole pzoduc-
ing massive, harmonious and pleasing
effect. have seen buildings of light
colored bricks with light stone or terra
Gotta trimmings equipped with awnings
in stripes of darker colors and of some-
what fanciful design as to the width
and grouping of the stripes, giving an
effect somewhat striking perhaps, but
decidedly picturesque.
The fact is that in the hands of q
competent person the awning may now
easily be made great establishment Of

indeed most of them are nowadays, it

yards away, and, forgetting the So
lemnity of the occasion, yelled out,

And, pushing his way through the
mourners, he jumped across the
grave, nearly knocked the preacher
down and rushed after the rabbit.

half the men had forgotten the dead
and joined in the chase. The rabbit
ran in circle, and as it returned
toward the grave most of the wom-

Ship Cushions Are Made OF
When new vessel IS ready to be fitted
out with her cushions, she is measured
for them, not as a church would be, for
certain number of cushions Of spec
ified size to supply certain number Of
pews, but every space in which cush-
ion is to be placed separately. On a
large vessel there might be number Of
cushions of tho same dimensions, but
marine architecture is such that cush-
ions may be required on the same vessel
in great variety of forms, aud of vary
Ing dimensions even within given lines,
narrower at one end, for instance, than
at the other. And cushions are made to
6t around masts, and around the round
ed ends of cabins, and in other spaces
where they must be made in the form
of an arc of circle. and ship cushions
are made V shaped and in other shapes
to fit into various hooks and joys.
All cushions are made with vertical
front edge, and most of them are made
with vertical rear edge, but ship
cushions are often made with rounded
or beveled rear edge to fit handsomely
against the side Of the vessel, which
serves as back to the seat, but may
slope away at a sharper angle than seat
backs commonly do.
Practically every boat that is set
aloat, whatever she may be, big or lit
tie, is individually measured through
out for her cushions. The same materi.
ais for stuffing cushions that are used
| on land are used on the water-hair,
moss, cotton and so on-and ship cush-

The materials most commonly used in
