PICNIC PLEASURES.
Pittsburg Chronicle Teiegranh.

'lttsburg Chronicle Telegraph.
The picnic seasons opened.
And beaux and maidens gay
The rural haunts are seeking,
To spend a happy day.
The fathers and the mothers
Decide to go along,
And also take the children
TO swell the merry throng.
The grub is in the basket,
The baskets on the arm
OF daddy as he totters
Across some hill or farm.
And when the journeys ended.
And resting place is found.
His wearied limbs he's stretching
At length upon the ground.
Anon some bulky damsel
Desires to take swing
And TO her aid Is calling.
Some chap as slim as string.
He pushes and he pushes,
Till arms and back are sore,
And gladly he Is hearing
The damse1 say mo more"
TITS found that something's needed,
There's a blank bewildermenr,
Then for 1t TO a farmhouse
Some dapper youth is sent.
The cows and sheep he lodges,
But by some sad ntschance
The watchdog springs upon him
And tears his picnic pants
At last the feast is ready,
And spread upon the green,
And soon they're all appeastng
Their appetites SO keen.
But while they're busy eating
The thunder loudly roars,
The lightning round them flashes,
And rain upon them pours.
The women are lamenting
The ruin of their gowns;
The men are mad as hornets,
And every face wears frowns.
But when they reach the city,
They're always sure TO say:
I'VE had a splendid picnic
Twas such a pleasant day!'

A Chester (Ct) correspondent of the
Hartford Courant says that owing to
the high price of ebony, manufacture
ers of piano keyboards have been
searching for a substitute, but could
not find one with grain close enough
for the necessary polish until our ma
tive dogwood was tried and found TO
equal ebony in appearance and utility.
Dogwood is scattered through nearly
every forest, and occasionally a num-
Der of trees are found in a group. 1t
grows as large bush or small tree,
requiring 25 or 80 years to gain di-
ameter OF or inches. Owing to the
small amount of wood in a tree, it is
rarely cut, unless to clear up piece
When a contract was lately made with
mills at Deep River and Ivoryton to
saw up 500 cords of dogwood in strips
an inch square and s to 20 inches long,
it was necessary to ask farmers to get
it out, offering $3.50 to IS per cord. In
short time it came in so fast that
nine mills were kept busy until May

dollhouse style, outdoors, to remain I'M
til thoroughly seasoned. They then
will be sawed to right size, oiled, col
ored and polished. This section is
about cleared of dogwood now, and
several thousand dollars have been
distributed among farmers and mill
men for what was considered worth
less property. Witch-hazel brush has
also brought in money to those need

A parrot has Just testified before a
New York jury. 1t illustrates what
we are coming to. A citizen of the
metropolis owned very fine bird, but
it was stolen six months ago. The bird
was found and a man was arrested,
but he denied all knowledge of either
bird or thief. The parrot took hand
in the proceedings, however, figurative-
ly speaking, recognized its latest mas

TuE sHIRT WAIST NAN

We have had the shirt waist girl with

charming and adorable. creature, al

upon even the hottest day. OF course,
woman can look cool under any cir
cumstances, even when she is receiv-
ing 1'sudden" proposal. 1t is an in
herent property of her nature, and thus
she can appear in public when the
mercury is close to the 100 mark, with
immaculate cuffs, and tight and stiff
collar two and one-ha1f inches high,
fitting her neck like a-er-well, gar
ter, and never turn a hair as the pop
ular saying is. With a man it's diff
ferent. A man perspires, and that
means discomfort. He's loaded down
with coat, vest, collar, cuffs, tie, and
various other articles of dress which
he would like to throw away, but here
tofore the conventionalities have stood
in the way, while the more patient and
unmoist maiden has sailed along under
a light equipment, of which often
abundantly perforated shirt waist was
the most conspicuous part, oblivious to
the rising mercury and happy.
The summer girl, however, is to have
a rival. 1t is the summer man. The
shirt waist man has made his appear
ance in the East He wears neither
coat or vest, and discards both cuffs
and collar. He dresses for hot weather,
looks well, and feels comfortable The
idea is bound to spread, and why not?
1t is sensible, convenient, and saves
hard words on humid and hot day
May he who set this latest fashion
be thrice blessed.

1t is Announced That Chancellor Nichol-
son VIII Decide Railway Case.
The decision in the case of the Will
mington City Railway Co. vs.. the
Peoples Railway Co., is to be handed
down today. Such was the an
nounoement given out at the offi ce Of
the Court. of Chancery Tuesday.
Word had been received from Chan
cellor John r. Nicholson of Dover that
he would be here on the date men
toned with the decision,
The question involved is whether or
not the Peoples Railway Go. has the
right to lay tracks in the city of Will
mington. Its settlement depends upon
the effect of the general corporation
law in the direction of repeating that
section of the charter of the city rail-
way under which exclusive right to use
the streets is claimed.
The argument in the case was made
before the Chancellor by Willard Sauls-
bury for the city railway, and William
S, Hilles and Col. Benjamin Nields for
the Peoples Go.

5ut the Coroner and Police Must be Motif
fed of Violent Deaths.
When the fatal accident occurred Mon
day at the works OF the Whining ton
Nils Manufacturing Co., Sixteenth
street and Railroad avenue, the pei son
who notified the police station inquired
whether the body of Nicholas Weston,
the man who Lad been killed by being
thrown around a shaft, could be moved.
Capt. Black who was in charge, directed
that the body be taken from the ma
chinery and cared for until the coroner
could he communicated with.
Many people have an impression that
the body Of person who has been
killed cannot be touched until seen by
the coroner or his deputy. This is o
mistake. Except in cases of murder,
or where there are peculiar circum-
stances, the bcdy Of person who has
been killed can be moved to place Of
safety and the body of drowned rer-
son can be taken from the water to
await the arrival of the coroner. The
duty of the public is to notify the
police and coroner at once.
