Papercd Ceilings Out of style.

Householders and others who are ar
ranging for spring renovating will soon
notice that all the better class of wall
papers are now being made without

paper and papers his house, If he

at least tint the ceilings. In such tint.
ing there is only one durable material
that lie can secure, and that is Alabas

are known as kalsomines are especially
bad for ceilings, as the stuff scales and
falls off In fact, the word 'kalso
mine has become so unpopular on ac
count of the goods being only tempor-

kalsomines are giving their material
some arbitrary name and not calling it

A Valuable Means of Rescue.

In reading the accounts of the
means employed by the New York fire
department in rescuing the inmates
of the Windsor hotel, says CORE
spondent of the Washington Star,
have seen no mention of continuance
which, to my knowledge, has been in
use in Germany for the past forty
years. 1t is the sack or tunnel, open
at both ends, easily rolled up while
carried on the truck or hose carriages,
one end carried up the ladder by the
tiremen. The person at the window OF
the burning building enters it, or, if
too demoralized, is inserted, and grad
ually slides to earth. OF late years
this sack has been made tireproof by
the application of incombustiblc chem
icals, so that 1T is proof against fire
as we'll as smoke. The inbred modes
" of women is such that they will re-
main in the burning building to the
last moment rather than run the risk
of exposing their person to the assem-
bled crowd below. They will not even
descend a fire escape. and no amount
of danger will counteract that feeling.
The same objection prevails against
their use of II rope; consequently, as
last resort, they throw themselves
out of the window from any height l
have at trials seen as many as Il dozen
persons at time inserted into these
tunnels by tiremen, and as they travel
at the same rate of speed they do not
come in contact with each other, and
are Landed safe and sound on terra
tirma. Every fire apparatus should
carry these contrivances, and firemen
should be periodically drilled in their
use. Public exhibitions of this kind
on such high buildings as the Wash
ingt9n Loan and Trust would tend to
get the community familiar with their
use and usefulness. They are easily
shifted from window to window, but
there should be enough of them to
supply all ordinary needs, and as
there are usually at least half Il dozen
pieces of apparatus at each fire, each
carrying one or more fire escapes (the
truck could readily carry three), there
would be no lack of this means of es-
| cape.

for his check the waiter performed

three times three made seventeen. The
