The sewer on Court street is causing
sensation today. Becoming stopped in
some manner, it began to back up into
the cellars and basements along its line,
and quite q little damage was done to
goods in ]. P. McInerny's basement,
while at last accounts Prinz & Nitschke
feared they would be compelled to move
out the goods stored in the lower story
of their building. Workmen are en-
gagged in digging up the sewer in the at
tempt to discover wherein lies the diff
fculty.
The American girl depicted on Hoods
Sarsaparilla calendar, is certainly good
advertisement for that famous medicine.
She looks as if she'd taken something
for that "tired feeling which had been,
very effective and makes her appearance
as fresh and sweet as daisy with the
June dew upon it. The American girl
looks well wherever you put her, and is
always up-to-date. The calendar is
very pretty one and artistic in every de-
tail. Ask you druggist for one, or send

sense of smoke prevailing their

that the ladies of the family became

SERIOUS HINTS ON DRESS.
with some fiippant Comments BY 9
Boston Man.

with Some fiippant Comments By .
Boston Man.
We have received a little pamphlet
which We hope has been distributed
widely among our readers, observes
the Boston Journal. The careful study
of It may put an end to doubts that
have embittered households and poi
soned the wells OF domestic happiness.
This little book-we dislike the term
"booklct"-tells in simple language
how to dress your coachman, groom,
butler, doorman and page.
Thus, for instance. the coachman
should wear six buttons on his coat
two on the back at waist and two at
the bottom OF the skirt He should
also have flaps on his pockets. Other
wise he might be mistaken for the
groom. who has no flaps on the pock-
cts and has five buttons In front and
six behind. These buttons should al
WAYS match the metal trimmings on
the harness. Ardent Bryanites will, OF
course, use silver.
The hat must be silk. There is no
alternative. Slouch hats are no longer
worn by the coachman Of our more ex-
elusive citizens. and the more fastidi-
Gus insist that the hat should be a
new one, not a cast-of dicer OF tho
master. The coachman, when on duty.
should smoke only cigars. They should
cost at least at the rate OF three for
a quarter. Green baize cloth aprons
should match your billiard table. Crest
buttons. worn by your servants. should
be ducal. There are several dukes in
England, so there may be n variety IN
the device.
By paying attention to these details
and the advice as to other matters CIV
en- by this pamphlet. you will be
Obliged to be more scrupulous as to
your own dress. for 1t Is sad sight
when the groom is mistaken for tae
master.

ANCIENT AMERICAN SLEEPING
CARS,

L. Xavire Eyma, a Frenchman, who
came to this country in 1S47, wrote
an article in ILLUSTRATION of Paris,
published July I'D, 1S4S, giving his
experience on the railroads of the
United States. He says that at that
time the Baltimore & OHIO railroad
had length of seventy leagues anG
that the cost of the road was 4,116,. IA
francs, the receipts 3,9S8,456 francs
and expenses 1,964,741 francs. He
also gives considerable space to the
interior arrangements of the sleeping
cars used at that time and says that,
they are actually houses where moth
ing is lacking for the necessity OF life
and are divided into compartments
and sleeping rooms, some for men and
some for women" Eaci room held
six beds or rather little touches in
three tiers along the sides. He winds
up his account by saying that valu-
ables were not particularly well taken
