A story is told which illustrates the
danger from nitric acid. The incident oc-

still talked of in the trade, even though it

Through the careleSSnesS of a workman

of sawdust. and soon it was observed that
the saWdust was smoldering. 1t was then
seen that unless something was done the
entire works would be burned, not only
causing immense money loss, but throw

-Four men employed in the acid Depart

grebe breast of commerce, 1t is said, and
SO also the wild goose. At its best it is

nicely trimmed. Take q low turban for a

The finest breasts of grebe come from

their peculiar glossy smoothness. They

and trimmed with a great profusion Of
velvet and flowers, fairly revering in
bloom.
A very novel effect was attained by a
high priced milliner of the Boulevard
Haussman. He took last seasons hats
with their snug trimming and covered
them with up-to-date effects. One which
had two smooth black breasts lying
across the crown he made larger by add
ing two bird breasts which he laid over
the black breasts. A big srebe head with
tufts was fastened in the front. The
back, which was trimmed with folds of
velvet, was made fashionable by the ad-
dition of a very large chou rosette of silk.

PATTERN FOR A FANCY LETTER.

If you do not care to cut out the letter
and basic upon you goods as previously
advised, you can place q piece of white
tissue paper over it and trace the outline,
with its flourishes. Place the tissue paper
over the place where you desire to have
the letter and go over it with a tracer as
you would do if tracing the pattern upon
a gown. Mark the lines made by the
tracer with a ! pencil and embroider
or paint.
