The cabs wheel in and out of the sta
ton, as they return from their trips, or
are called out, swiftly and noiselessly.
What strikes the observer most, per-
haps, is the astonishing ease and ac-
curacy with which they are guided by
the driver They move and stop APP
parently to an inch, and twist around
sharp corners with a recklessness, but
withal a certainty, which is foreign to
all ones previous experience of passen-
ger vehicles. The motorman has every
thing within hand or foot reach at his
side With his hands he operates the
controlling gear for operating the
switch beneath his seat, which admits
the current; he also steers with his
hand. The braking is done with his
feet. with which, also, he rings the bel.
There is an emergency switch placed
near his heel, by which he can throw
ont the switch and break the current
when necessary In order that no tam

multitude of transparent fabrics for

A silk petticoat, much decorated on
the lower half, with full corded frills

since the clinging dress skirts, made
without stiffness, require this extra
fullness beneath to give them the
proper outward flare from the knees
down.

They are found in both simple and ela5-

The changing of the batteries has
been brought down to a fine point
Often a cab will run in to replenish
its power, and be out of the station
again in a minute and a quarter. Mean
while the fares" will remain inside,
and watch the process with interest.
During opera or theater hours they are
likely to be in full regalia, and the va
riety and brilliance of the evening dress
of the visitors give an odd charm to
the scene. The equipment for changing
the batteries is most ingenious. AS the
cab enters it runs onto a table, which
is split in two parts, and balanced
below, so that the parts are free to
move in either direction, sideways. The
cab is instantly raised to the proper
level and a hydraulic ram comes out,
takes hold of the batteries, and pulls
them out of the way. They are at
once picked up by machinery, carried
down the length of the battery-rooTn,
and deposited upon table, ready for
recharging. In the meantime one OF a
number of sets of batteries, which have
been brought forward by an electric
crane and deposited in readiness or
table, is placed opposite the opening in
the cab The ram makes a forward
movement and forces the batteries into
the carriage, which backs off the table
platform and rolls out on its errand.
To all appearances the batteries are
handled as easily as if they weighed
a few ounces, instead of a quarter of
ton. The number of electric vehicles
engaged by the month or quarter by
private individuals is increasing with
astonishing rapidity, and the swell
coachman is no longer looked upon as
master of his craft unless he can man
age an electric carriage as skillfully
as he can drive a team of horses.-Los

Saturday Nights Goldfish.

New Englanders have spread them
selves all over the West, and you can
not fail to spot them, from the one
never-failing sign that when Saturday
night comes, rich or poor, unlettered or
college Professor, they will have their
Goldfish for Sunday morning, even if
they carry it home themselves.
The week had closed, bringing with
it a blizzard breath that made all anx-
ious for the coming home hour, and
work was finished up with a rush. Like
many of the jewellers of Eastern cities
among the middle classes, we had
made our home in the suburbs of the
great city on the lake, and the gath
ering together of commuters night and
morning seemed more like a social club
or a jolly college reunion.
This Saturday night the weather was
so wretchedly cold that each new
conner to the warmly-lighted car care
fully closed the door behind him, for
he well knew any lapse in this respect
would change the tone of those who
greeted him.
Struggled down securely in the last
seat near the stove was Billy Nc
Erery and his alder in mischief, Pop
Barnett. Billy was one of those ire
pressible noisy little chaps, with a stat
ure Of not over four feet eight, and a
voice big enough for a giant, which
even on Change could be heard at any
time over all the hubbub in the wheat
pit. No one escaped his raillery that
night, not even the conductor, who had
been on the run for over twenty years,
nor the ruling lady of his church.
Just as we We're drawing out of the
depot, Colonel Jeems, large, portly,
stuffy and pretentious ambled through
the doorway, big Goldfish wrapped in
coarse brown paper under one arm, and
a copy of Revised Tactics" under the
other. AS the cod was whisked by and
directly under Billy's nose, he gave a
wild snort, and Thank you, Colonel,
thank YOU
A full moon smile filled the Colonels
face, and with his sweet ladylike voice
he replied, "Ah, yes, William, good
evening. Why am I indebted to you
for this kindly expression of thanks?''
"Oh, for the smell of that cod, Col
onel, and not bringing the whole in
fernal fish shop in with you"
The Colonel had passed on, not wait
ing for Billy's reply.
rs he waddled up the aisle, beaming
concescendingly on either side, he
threw open his huge ulster, allowing its
four inch width belt to swing and dan
gle like a pendulum from the center
loop behind.
He had just reacshed the farther end
of the car and was about to open the
door, when Billy's insistent voice rang
ont ever all the noise: II say, Colonel.
oh. Colonel!'
He dropped his hand from the door,
and turning with grave seriousness, in
quired with his affected, fiute-like
voice: yes, Willie, hear; what is

Didn't you find that Goldfish pretty
heavy and strain you carrying
"No-it didn't appear SO to me; why
do you ask?"
''Why?" shouted Billy, why, Colonel?
Because your surcingle's busted
Then, for the first time on record,

by roars of laughter from car load
of amused assengers.-Robert Mitchell

Cyrano red has lost favor, and its
place is taken by new shades called
ponceau d'Espagne Spanish poppy,
the brilliant dye called Roman red, and
a handsome English currant red. These
colors will be used both as dress ac-
cessories and in millinery, and will be
found among textiles to be accordion
plated, and trimmed deliberately with
black guipure, designs en- applique, or
very handsome cut jet ornaments in
quaint devices.
New domestic surahs are in standard
twills that wear admirably, appearing
on all the latest spring shades. India
and China silks are shown in great
variety, but the twilled surfaces are
likely to be the most popular. a host
of fancy silks and satins are brought
out which tailors and d1essmakers both
here and abroad are using in prepar-
ing dressy Easter models, made up in
combination with drap dete, Henrietta
cloth, Carmelite and other silk-warp
woods.
Youthful and dainty French gowns
for wear at Lenten teas, dinners and
like occasions are made of checked
taffeta silk. combined with vicuna, drap
de Chine, or camel's hair A charming
model is of pale old-rose vicuna, made
up with a silk check combining reseda
green, cream white, old rose and pale
amber-brown.
! Diagonal fabrics for spring are set
forth in all possible variations. In
some cases the diagonal stripes are
/ formed by thick but narrow tufted
lines; in others, there are two or three
colors on a soft, bourette-like ground,
on which silky chenille threads add to
the effect in the form of short tendrils
/ branching out from the diagonal lines.
In checked goods the pretty shaded eff
fects differ from those worn last spring
in so far as the lines are finer and run
diagonally in both directions, forming
small check patterns.
| The new specimens of beaded and
spangled decorations include bands for
the skirt, some very wide, others grad
uated in width, from several inches,
narrowing to a slender point. There
are single pieces in Venetian and Van
|
sertions, etc, and smaller matching
devices for bodice, guimpe, vest and
! sleeves. In fine cut jet the decorations
are very choice and the Oriental bead
ed and spangled trimmings display good
effects in shading, arrangement and
color.
The low-priced gimps and passemen-
teries which look like tempting bargains
when displayed upon the counters of
some of the retail dry goods houses are
delusive. for the silky surface gloss they
show wears off in very few weeks,

eye at once on account of their deli
cate patterns, which closely copy real
silk garnitures. A single yard OF
handsome genuine passementerie for

satisfactory possession than quantities
of inferior decorations set all over the
