Fast Time to Colorado.

A new through Sleeping Car line between
St. Louis and Colorado Springs will be estab-
lished over the Wabash Rock Island Short
Line, May 18th, 1885. The time will be the
fastest made with through service between
these two points by many hours. A through
Sleeper will leave st. Louis on Wabash train
No. 8, at go a. m, arriving at Colorado
Springs the next morning at II 90, with di-
rect connection for Denver, arriving at 30
a. m This is the fastest regular through
service ever established between St. Louis
and Colorado. Returning, the Sleeper will
leave Colorado Springs at 2.45 p. m, and ar
rive at st. Louis the next evening at els.
Patrons of this line will avoid the only I'M
pleasant feature heretofore attendant on Col
orado travel, inasmuch as the trip through
Missouri's fertile fields will now be by day
light, and the unattractiye portion of Kansas
will be traversed during the night, with the
mountain scenery to greet the tourists in the
morning.
The fast time of this line will naturally
commend the Wabash Route to intending
Colorado tourists.

he was not content with that gift He de-
sired to deliver speeches which would read
well in print. AS result, his periods were
polished till they lost force. They would
have made more of an impression If he had
left Anew jagged edges on them. His speeches
were as famed for their soporific qualities as
they were for their immaculate syntax, but
his wife was a confident admirer Of his pow
ers as a speaker. Without taking the
trouble to inform herself very thoroughly
on the topics he discussed, she accepted his
observations with implicit faith and un-
bounded applause. She had gone to hear

The Use Of Ammonia.

Nothing is more injurious to paint
and varnish than ammonia, and il it Is
used to remove some especially stub
born spot the surface should be quickly
wiped over with clean cloth wet with
clear water. For linoleum ammonia is
equally bad unless it is quickly rinsed.
1t is this little knowledge of her cleans
ing drugs which makes them SO dan
gerous in the hands of the average
housemaid. One who used cloth
dipped in crude oil to wipe over the sur
face Of stained floor saw no reason
why the same should not be applied to
the highly polished surface OF an old
mahogany table. The result, naturally
wasdisastrous to it's finish, aad recourse
to the services of a cabinetmaker was
necessary.-St. Louis obe-Democrat.

more in the dressing of hair. 1t is a
small affair now, but promises to have a
larger and greater future.
With the new spring jacket which
flares and shows the vest lace-edged
hatiste ruffles should be worn.
London fashion says that women will
wear small hats turned up at the left
side with high trimming this summer.
Cycling skirts will be worn longer
than they have been hitherto, eight or
ten-inches from the ground being about
the general rule in the costumes now
being made.
Summer fabrics will be trimmed large
ly with lace, and some skirt waists
will have many jabots and full. flounces.
4 beautiful spring gown noted in one
of the stores is biscuit-colored silk,
the skirt being trimmed to the waist
band with narrow rufiles and bound
with apple-green silk. The waist has
tight-fitting lace front over apple green,
and is fastened at the side with small
green bows.
A tailor-made cape should have no
flouncing. but looks exceedingly well
when trimmed with raw-edged strips.
These should show four rows of stitch
ing and follow the shape Of the garment.
A white japanese weave of pongee
silk. which is washable. is in favor for
light spring costumes. Trimmed with
rows of narrow ribbon velvet, small
white pearl buttons and cream lace, the
effect is lovely.
