While watching the operations OF the la
borers engaged in the tearing up OF W-ybos
sot bridge preparatory to rebuilding noticed
a strong odor OF Illuminating gas, which sug-
gested the horrible explosion of several
weeks ago at Boston.
Can you Inform me whether OF not the con-
ditions chat prevail here are similar To those
that resulted in the Boston horror.
Yours truly,

THE BLACK FROCK 1OAT.

London tailors are said to view with
! alarm repeated attacks on the integrity
Of the black frock coat. An apparently
uncomfortable impulse of fashion is
said to demand a modification in the
style and color Of this garment, and if
the rebellion against it continues It is
said that the garment as it is worn
today must inevitably give place to
something that the tailOrs regard as
a poor substitute. The rebels clamOr
particularly for a greater variety in
color, and refuse to be confronted by
the shortening OF the tails one season
and the frightening of them the next.
The demand for a larger scope in the
fashion Of the frOck coat has not vet
reached New York, where the garment
is not so respected tradition, and when
it comes New York will doubtless be
able to regard the proposed innovation
with greater equanimity than London.
The frock coat in New York is a COM
paratively recent fashion, although it
arrived in surprising numbers after
these coats were Hrst introduced. Eight
years ago they were a luxury. and two
years later they had become a necessity
to men who make dressing the subject
of thought. There is no reaosn for
New Workers who are the lucky pos
SCISSORS of new frock coats to be fright
ened over the prospects of any sudden
change in the style. Several years ago
there was excitement among the tailors
here over a proposed change in the
fashion of dress suits when it was an
nounced that they were to be made up
of gray or colored cloths. Some OF
these in dark blue, dark green, and
plum color were seen, but they prompt
ly disappeared from view. Then an
agitation was commenced in favor of
short black satin breeches to be worn
with dress coat, and one daring
youth appeared at a Delmonico ball
dressed in that costume. People
laughed at him there, and he never
wore the breaches anywhere else. The
frock coat is no more likely to be
changed than the dress suit, and in
color both garments will probably re-
tain the same somber hue they have
now. Besides, New Workers. are much
more interested in another feature OF
to them THAI what the English tailors
decide to do in regard to its form and
color. Where do the frock coats come
from that abound in Essex, Forsyth,
and all the downtown streets of the
East Side? All kinds of materials in
all sorts Of shapes are to be seen there
If somebody from London or else
where could answer this question he
would satisfy a local yearning. -New
York Sun.

A FAIR FIELD.

they show themselves fitted; and no
social prejudice should be allowed to

About her early home there is a
legand which tells OF her first nursing.
On the estate there was an old Scotch
shepherd named Roger, whose collie
was one day stoned by some small
boys. The dogs leg was seemingly
broken and the old man was tearfully
preparing to strangle his pet to put
him out Of misery, when Miss Nightin-
gale learned of the accident and prom
Used to nurse the injured dog back to
good health again. She pound up the
leg in linen cloths and applied hot
fermentation. Later it developed that
the leg was not broken, but badly cut
and swollen. Soon the collie was as
well as ever, and after that every sick
animal in the place was brought to her
for medical attendance, and later the
peasants themselves relied upon her
skill to cure their GUS and bruises.
Her father was Z scholarly man, and
his extensive library contained many
works on medicine This kind of liter
allure absorbed all of the attention of

AN APPEAL FOR THE BIRDS.

0 say. say. can you hear them,
In forest and field and lane,
The starving neStlings crying
While the parent birds are slain?
Can you see the nests deserted,
And the pretty eggs chilled Ger.
And hear all Nature mourning
For the birds that sing no more?
0 say, 0 say. can you see them,
The songblrds we love to hear,
Dying by hundreds and thousands,
Perishing year by year?
To the gaudy haunts Of fashion
We may trace their plumage gay,
But their hearts that throbbed with music
Have ceas'd to beat for aye.
0 songsters, beautiful songsters,
Ye come and sing no more.
Spring waits in vain for the carol
That welcomed her coming of yore;
But beware! There is One who made them
Our birds with their voices sweet,
And the cries of his dying songsters
Ascend to his mercy-seat!

London, April 25.-In trifie more
than month the seVe2ty-seventh
birthday of Florence Nightingale will
be celebrated, and the old lady, nov
sast approaching the close of her long
life, will be inundated with loving
messages from thousands OF high and
low degree, for the queen to the
crippled veteran, once humble pri-
Yate in the Crimean war.
Not many birthdays remain for Miss
Nightingale For forty years she has
been practically an invalid, almost
since the day she set foot on English
soil after her return from the fetid
hospital of the leyant. Only the other
day she wrote to a friend: Il am my
self always a prisoner from illness and
oyerwork." Her constitution was per-
manently wrecked by her two years
labor on the battlefield and in the hos
pital, but in those two years she earned
a place in the history of all time. After
the close of the Crimean war a dinner
was given to the military and naval
officers who had served in the cam
paign, and it was suggested that each
guest write on slip Of paper the name
of the person whose services during
the Crimoa would be longest remem-
bered by poster1ty. There were hun
