Pullman Cars.

AS a railroad train was swinging
around sharp curve a passenger in the
sleeping car was thrown against the in
side window of the stateroom SO vio-
lently that his elbow went through the
glass. The Pullman conductor came
promptly to the rescue, asking if he
was hurt.
No. I'm not, i" answered the passen-
ger good naturally, but the Pullman
company dividends will be cut down
this year by the price of one pane. l
suppose the stockholders can stand it,
though.
"The Pullman stockholders won t
have to, said the conductor. 1T comes
out of the X, Y. and o. Railroad COM
pany, to whose train we are attached
shall make out a damage slip, the
train conductor will certify it, the re-
pairs will be made at the end of the
route, and the railroad company will
foot the bill There's mighty little, I
tell you, except ordinary wear and tear,
that the railroad company doesn't pay
for. If there is a scratch on the side of
this car at the end of run, the x, Y.
and 2. pays for it, not the Pullman
company. New York Tribune.

CaImness In Emergency.

DIR. Weir Mitchell, lecturing to a
school of nurses lately upon the neces-
sity of self control in emergencies, told
the following incident: Zone of his pa
tients, while i'll a low, nervous condi-
ton, swallowed by mistake dose from
the wrong bottle She shrieked out that
she was poisoned. One of the nurses
screamed sAconite!' and began to cry
Historically. The other nurse, seeing
that the patient was going into convul-
sions from terror, when relief would be
impossible, said coolly: Don't be fright
ened. Look here, taking mouthful of
the dose herself. She then went outside
to rid her mouth Of it, procured an
emetic and sent for a doctor and stom-
ach pump. Her calmness saved the life
of the patient. !"

WITH THREADS OF METAL
Tinsel Fabrics and the More Costly Bro
cades of Gold and Silver.

Tinsel Fabrics and the More Costly Bro
cades of Gold and Silver.
Tinsel fabrics are the lower priced Of
the cloths into which gold or silver
threads have been woven. In tinsel fab
RIGS the gold threads are of brass or cop
per, gilded, and the silver threads are
Of white metal. These threads of metal,
originally fine wire, are rolled fat and
Furnished, and they glisten in the fabric
wherever the pattern brings them to the
surface. Tinsel fabrics are made about
three-fourths of a yard in width, and
they sell at rs cents to So. 90 yard.
They come in various colors, and many
of them are beautiful and artistic in de-
sign. Some are copies of old Venetian
tapestries. Tinsel fabrics are used for
church and for theatrical purposes and
sometimes for gowns and for decorative
purposes.
The costlier fabrics. with interviewer
metal threads, are called gold and sill
yer brocades In these the gold threads
are of silver, gold plated, and the silver
threads are of pure silver; the body Of
the fabric is of silk. The brocades are all
beautiful, and many Of them are ex-
ceedingly so. These fabrics are made
about five-eighths of yard in width,
and they sell at various prices up to $25
and sometimes as high as $50 yard.
The costliest of these fabrics are very
rarely imported into this country, bro
cades at $40 and $12 yard being about
the highest priced used here If more
elaborate fabrics are required, they are
usually imported to order The finer
fabrics, with metal threads, are made
in France, the commoner kinds in Ger
many.
Gold and silver brocades are here
used almost exclusively for church pur-
poses and chiefly for vestments. They
are imported in red, violet and green
and also i'll black with silver threads,
the black and silver being for mourning.
Gold and silver brocades are also used
to limited extent for decorative pur-
poses.
Such fabrics and gold embroidery,
often of the costliest description, are far
more commonly used in Europe than
here, both for church and for military
purposes. New York Sun.

DINING AND FEEDING.

American Table Manners Not So Open to
Criticism as Formerly.
1t has been conceded that the degree
of civilization people has reached may
be accurately measured by its dietary.
Now, some one has said that the
American feeds, the Englishman de-
YOURS, the Frenchman dimes. In view
of this statement one wonders what the
English have been doing through the
centuries to have advanced SO little. We
do not pretend to answer for them, but
would say for ourselves we have been
hewing our way through forests, pio-
neering in every direction, in every
sense-ample apology for feeding in
stead of dining.
But of course, it was Frenchman
who made the declaration, and, of
course, he made it long ago, when, NOR
tifying though it be, honesty compels
us to acknowledge that we may have
been guilty. Times, however, and con-
ditions have changed, and not even the
most bigoted Frenchman will refuse to
admit that when the American has
reached the dining point he will have
more to dine upon than any other man
in the world The culture of man in
America will demand all the art in his
cuisine that France by study has evolv-
ed, with the added merit of honesty in
his food, the DISCUSSES incident to pow
erty of material not being necessity.
There is no department. of supply in
which we have not the advantage, and
we are learning to use our materials as
rapidly as we have been obliged to
learn all other things Ella Morris

ThE NEW APHRoDITE.

Out of the deep sea stream,
Into the light and the air,
Rose like a gracious dream
Venus, the fair
How much of sorrow and rue,
How much of JOY and peace,
Sprang that day from the blue
Waters OF Greecel
oh, from a Cyclad's verge
Or swift galley's PROV to have seen
Her, the worlds wonder, emerge,
Yelled in the sheen
OF her glorious sea dripping locks,
Buoyant of limb and as bright
As the sole star that leads out the iocks
OF the shepherdess Night
But what avails it to sigh
For glimpse of that day withdrawn
Not for long in the sky
Stays the fair dawn.
Ours the nobler lot
Under the broad noontide,
Gazing, to falter not,
Till from the wide
Ocean of life we behold,
Rising in splendor and might,
Fairer than Venus of old,
Calmer than Night,
Purer than Dawn or the blue
Depths of ether untrod,
Nature, the only, the true
Daughter of God.

DRAMATICS.

A genuine performance, with real live actors, was seen atl O'Briens last night. Sutton Vane's delightful play, "Hu- manity" full of interesting situations, stratling climaxes. love scenes, with tall ent to depict them, was the treat so far of the season.
 The story is complete and the plot easi- ly followed. Ross O'Neal and Alic+ Irv- ing were the stars, Ni.l J. Palmer Col lins and Myrtle May by no means wdth- out rays of light about them. The com- pany, as whole, was good. c. Jay Williams, as the Hebrew, was 1he life of the play for the gallery gods, al- though those in ';he lower tiers enjoyed him very much.
 Humanity" was very satisfactory.
 This afternoon at ma tinee and toright Charles H. Yale's Forever Devils Auc- tion," a spectacular production, will be the attraction. The play has been thor oughly revised, and, with the exception of the plot will hardly be recognizable. Among the new scenic features offered for this season are "The Cavern of G- gantic Heads" "The Magic Vaults of Benedc,ine," ," '"The Gardens of the Blue Dragon" 'The Palace of Roses,'' and a magnificent transformation scene of eight distinct changes which for nov city of conception and beauty in design is undoubtedly the handsomcst and grandest pictorial illustrations of the Realms of Fairyland ever presented.
 "The Nancy Hanks" Odd title for play, especially a comedy. Might sug- gest the story of horse, or woman, but it doesn't. That's just where the rub comes in and what drives the author, Frank Tannehill, Jr., wild. Women or horses have nothing to do with it. It is simply the name of mine-a gold mine and a salted gold mine at that. Tame

hill ought ito know, he bought some of the stock, and the mine was so we'll salted that 1t has kept it fresh in his mind ever since. It is located in Boulder county, Colorado. and if you doubt it's existence you may go there and see for yourself Tannehill lost so much in the stock that ale conceived the idea ef writing a comedy tbout the mine as the only means of getting any money out of it. With the irony of sarcasm, or perhaps faint prophetic hope, he makes the stock in his play become fabu1ously valuable.
 An cratic Frenchman, an impecunious actor. with a strong minded aunt from whom there are expectations, lovely stage-struck girl-in fact. two of them a great hearted vaudeville actress, kl innocent, sweet country maiden, blase man of the world and deserted baby form the rest of the material for the story of 'The Nancy Hanks" one of the funniest, brightest and most original comedies that has been produced in the last five years. A laugh from beginning to end with little worldly wisdom run ming a1 through it. To obtain any bet ter idea of "The Nancy Hanks" the read CT must attend the performance at the opera house next Monday night, when Frank Tannehill, Jr and Marie Janssn, supported by a clever company, will en- deavor to explain it all and amuse the public for couple of hours at the same time.
