at work in the shed, the greater portion
of the roof fell through, completely bury
ing them out of sight. The shed was
aboht $50 by rs feet and was loosely
constructed. Both were working by the
side of large piece of granite when the
timbers and roofing came crashing
through. They fell to the ground long
side the stones they were at work on and
neither was injured. There are nearly
dozen men employed in that portion OF
Of the stone shed, but fortunately they
were outside at that time. They at once
got to work clearing away the debris.
aud the two men, who narrowly escaped
death, were gotten out safely. The plant
was fitted up with pneumatic tools,
which are quite expensive, and most OF
them were badly damaged.

5t established art design. Conventional
design is more difficult to color artis-
tieally than floral, but when the true
aye for color undertakes it the effect is
most pleasing and lasting. The rocco
design i'll connection with the floral is
still very popular. Occasionally one
hears that such and such design is out
of fashion, and there follows a descrip-
ton of some perhaps truly inartistio
thing which will supersede it. One
needs to beware of such announcements,
for true art in all its qualifications is not
ephemeral. 1t has stood the test of ages
and will ever stand. Designs founded
upon principles of the highest art lines
ought never to go out of fashion. The
roeoco has long been popular. So has
the dainty bowknot and its requisite at

these ever be in or out of fashion? They
