Mrs Webster
city of Beaver Dam.

city of Beaver Dam. Mrs. Webster
was Injured on May -, 1897. Her
notice to the city was not filed for
more than two months afterWard. Mrs.
! Webster alleges in her complaint that
one Of her toes was broken and her
knee spraineG, in addition to other in
/ juries, and she demands $4,000 dam
ages. During the fifteen days fol-
lowing the accident Mrs. Webster,
whose home is in Michigan, asserts
| that she was unable to realize or as
sert her rights. She did not know OF
the provisions OF chapter 236 OF the
laws of 1897 until she consulted her
attorney, and as soon as she became
aware of the provision, filed notice
Of suit and claim for damages, on
July 6, 1897.
The city Of Beaver Dam made the
| failure to file notice within the statu-
| tory limit of fifteen days, the main
contention. It presents, the court
says, "a question which has never
been passed upon by the supreme
court OF Wisconsin. Numerous de-
cisicns are cited, having reference to
the previous general statute, which
prescribes notice to be given within
ninety days of the injury, and in some
! instances to charter provisions having
| less than that time limit, but | have
/ found no Wisconsin case in which the
direct inquiry arose OF the applica-
ton of the reasonableness Or I'M
reasonableness Of the limitation where
the injured party was disabled or
otherwise SO that notice could not be
given within the time limited, as
alleged in this complaint
After discussing portions of the
complaint, the court continues: "The
application of the literal terms of the
statute must bar any recovery for the
| Injury suffered and solely because the
severity Of nature OF the injury de-
layed the giving of notice beyond the
fifteen days, although right of ac-
ton is distinctly recognized and pre-
served by the same statute in favor
Of one who, by reason Of the modera-
ton of his injury, is not so disabled
and is not prevented by other inter
vening cause from serving the notice
So construed, there is manifest in
| justice in the strict application oil
the provision to the case at bar and
| if it is open to the test of reasonable
ness in that view there is no room
for doubt that it must be held to be
imperative"

FOR THE WRITING TABLE.
Dainty Furnishings of Burnt Leather
The New Fashion.

The newest furnishings for writing
tables for women are Of leather. And,
by the way, writing tables will be
more fashionable next season than
desks. They are spindle-legged, of
course, and are en2meled or made
of wood that matches or harmonizes
with the other furniture.
The pads to be used on these tables
are small, hardly larger than the
square sheets of letter paper used on
them. The backs and corners are OF
carved Or burnt leather, instead OF
the long-popular silver or decorated
china mountirgs. The burnt leather
crate design, burnt in dark brown.
The effect is dainty and somewhat
more feminine than the carved leather
The latter is said to be all imported,
and, therefore, too expensive for a
moderate purse, The inkstands, muci-
lage bottles, sea ing wax holders.
candlesticl1s, pen and psncil trays,
paper weights, and the other articles
are leather-covered and carved or
burnt with the same design. The blot
ting paper to be used with such sets
should be mole colored or brown to
match the leather, and sometimes it
has a similar design traced around
the edges.
For men the fashionable furnishings
for desks are Of cut glass, stag horn,
and silver. The ink stands and other
large pieces are of cut glass or mas
sve silver mounting, with stag horn
top pieces or pen racks. The paper
knives have carved silver blades,
With handles of az horn, in some
instances also cary ed, but the most
popular are plain and highly polished.
Penstaffs of porcupine quilts are a
novelty. They aEe silver mounted
and beautifully co,ored, but uncom-
fortably long.

THE BEAUTIFUL.
Wrinkled and old were those hands of
hers;

Wrinkled and old were those hands of
hers;
Hard and full of the seams
Of labor and the years;
Knotted and knuckled;
And creased and crinkled
The skin Oh the backs of them;
Dark veined and large,
With splotches of brown
Between the drawn tendons
AS if scared by tears;
Thick the nails and blunted,
Rough and with little ridges
Running the length of them;
Callous the palms,
And lacking all pinkness and pretti-
ness,
Old are those hands of hers;
Wrinkled and hard;
But, oh, what a story Of
Infinite tenderness
And love
Could they tell,
Those hands of a woman
Whose threescore years and ten
Have been passed in doing the good
That women do.

WOMEN AND THE WHEEL.

The healthfulness of bicycle riding for
women is a disputed question.
Used in moderation it surely creates for
women a means of outdoor exercise, the
benefit Of which all physicians concede.
Used to excess, like any other pastime.
Its effect is likely to be dangerous.
The experience of Miss Bertha Reed,
the seventeen-year-old daughter of Mr..
J. r. Reed, 335 Lake street, Delaware,
Ohio, may point a moral for parents
who, like Mr.. and Mrs. Reed, have eS-

The Ancient Poppy.

Very ancient is the history OF the
poppy; it was wreathed with the lotus
10 Egypt, and twined with thyme and
parsley In Greece. 1t was also one of
the flowers dedicated to Venus; and
the witches who wrought their spells
and muttered their incantations on the
mountain tops cast into their brew the
horned leaves.
1t was early recognized that the pop
py IN its simplest form is one OF the
most decorative of flowers. It's sim
plest form is, of course, the wild flower
Of four petals. 1t is treated decorative
iy in u number of ways; either as q hat
design OF the lifted cup, or as con-
ventional representation of the four
petals enclrciing the receptacle, or as
the stem upholding the dome-Lke and
sometimes strongly ridged seed pod
But, after ell. the most marvellous ar
tlstic suggestions are found in the
sharply outlined leaves which rise to
slender gothic points. These serve as
models of leaf design, and were carved
boldly and delicately in the stone OF
ancient cathedrals.-Godey's. ..,....,-
