The Perfection of Hose Nozzles.

The trial Of the Crane
spray nozzle by our fire department
Wednesday, WAS witnessed by large
number of our people, who were unani-
nous in their expression of approval
of its performance, when compared
with the service rendered by the spray
nozzle now in use, and which up to
that time was considered almost per-
feet in its operation. The new nozzle
emits solid stream, apparently with
little friction, and a yelling of spray
which may bo increased almost to a
sheet of water, and detected to an
angle which affords absolute protec-
ton from sparks and cinders as we'll as
heat. 1t seems to be all that can be
required from spray-nozzle, and its
cost, $50, places it within the reach of
all fire departments, be their require
ments many or few. This device is a
home production, the company which

of which Mr.. Agnew, of
this city, is President.

Eugene Named IT Magenta

Nine. MacMahon had a fortune of
her own, and when her husband be-
came president of the French republic
they entertained most splendidly. She
gave not only the official dinners and
balls, but one or two private entertain
ments each week. She became as de-
voted Catholic as her husband.
When MacMahon saved the French
army at Buffalona, he won the mar
shaPS baton and the title of Due de Ma
genta. The duchess was obliged to
seek the Empress Eugene and lex
press her sentiments" She wore for
the audience a dress of reddish violet
velvet, the color of a rich amethyst.
The empress admired the color, which
was new, and suggested it should be
called magenta in compliment to the
new duchess. At the imperial dinner
given to the officers of the Italian cam
paign she wore a velvet train of the
new color.

One sparkling day We passed
Across the snow.
Gay In the fair white world.
We felt the keen winds blow
And saw the frost fakes whirled,
But silent love at last
In two hushed hearts laughed low.
Alone, sad, old, go
Across life's weary wastes Of snow.
In June we wandered through
A 1eafy glade
Glad with the summers song;
The merry breezes strayed
Light hearted all day long;
From hawthorn boughs they blew
The bIossom-not to fade,
But garland me; arrayed
Herewith pass deaths somber shade.
