Railroad Pronunciation.

~ regret to say" remarks a writer
in the Boston Transcript, ''that on the
Providence railroad Wrentham has late
ly become 'Wren-tham' "a as in Sam,
in the mouths of several brakemen.
First we had Wal-tham, similarly
twanged in the second syllable, and
fear that ultimately we have to submit
to Ded-ham in the place Of Deddum'
Thus do English names suffer in the
mouths of those who are quite ignorant
Of their history. Not merely because il
is English, but because it is logical ant
historical, and because the word ''Aam'
has its meaning. Waltham should b.
Waltum and Wrentham Wrentum. A
return to the colonial pronunciation
to this extent would, CT course, be to-
much to ask, but still for a little space

The Latest In Lamps.

The new fall lamps are things Of
much artistic beauty. The shades far
surpass In elegance anything hereto
fore produced. The tall, tapering
Greek shape has this year largely
taken the place Of the once popular
squat Egyptian. The shades show a
strong tendency to spread tops, some
what suggesting b%lossoming flowers.
The flowers of the shades are soft and
mellow. The general shape of the
lamp is high and rather full bodied as
against the slenderness seen in high
lamps heretofore produced. Many new
patterns in the Japanese bronze lamps
are shown in the new samples. The
deep brown hue and fantastic decora-
tons of these goods make them par
ticularly attractive. Most of the porce-
lain lamp vases are rather plain so far
this year, the elaborate raised work
being sacrificed for skillful and taste
full fiat decorations. The art nouveau
lamps show little change from those Of
last season.-Chicago Journal.

King Edward and the reporters.
1t is really too bad that his majesty
of England should be offended at the
attention paid him by the press and
by the fact that all his movements are
watched. A maj of his experience
and resource should be able to abate
the nuisance and at the same time do
a lot of amusing %chuckiing. If he
would only observe the methods Of
some of the sovereign American voters
who visit his dominions, he would
learn a trick worth more than all the
laws against leZe majesty enforced by
his irritable cousin, the kaiser. Let
him learn from them how to use a
press agent. and it will not be long
until the bare mention of his name
will be enough to throw a whole press
association into an ague Of terror. Let
him not only furnish the papers with
full advance notices Of all his move
ments, but also insist that they be pub
lished. and at the same time keep

The reign Of the ruffle has not quite
followed the programme laid down by
the manufacturers, as at all smart
functions, bazaars, church parade and
the afternoon park the huge ruffle OF
simple black or white tulle is largely
In evidence, and the elaborate confec.
lions, bristling with bows, lace and rib
bon, are decidedly in the minority.
Tulle Is, however, so ethereal that the
simple rufile will inevitably be costly In
the long run. and once soiled or Its
crispness gone it Is n mere rag, while
the expensive rufiie may acquire new
life at the hands of the chemical clean
er. The long tails are most awkward
for carriage wear, and this probably &C.
counts for 80 many ruf1es having mere
ly bows or ribbon ends.

The terms '~dowager" and "chaperon'

One of the Late Novelties,

One Of the latest novelties in trim
ming dress skirts is to set a double fes-
toon Of lace galloon all around the
skirt. The galloons should be made to
meet at some point, then separate in
wavy arcs, then meet again, and SO on
around the dress. A most attractive
finishing touch Is given when lace me-
dallions are appliqued on top Of the gal
loon at the points Of meeting. Chan

A Sleep Walkers Wonderful Feat.

IAN interesting case OF somnambulism
is reported by M. Badaire, director of the
Normal School at Blois, France. 1t is
accredited by Doctor Dufay and printed
in The Proceedings of the Society of Psy-
chical Research. writes DR.. R. Osgood
Mason. in the May Ladies Home Jour
nal. "Theophile Janicaud was pupil
at Normal School, and in the month of
July of his second year he commenced to
walk in his sleep. On one occasion he
got up in the night determined to go
fishing. His brother.in-law, M. Simopet,
decided to accompany him, but before
starting he succeeded in inducing him to
alter his plans and go and visit rela-
tive instead. Accordingly this was done,
Janicaud remaining fast asleep and undis-
turbed by the barking dogs or the ia
tigue of long walk. Finally he was
ready to return, and on the way, coming
to narrow and dangerous path close to
the river, his brother-in-law cautioned
him to go carefully in the darkness. Jani-
caud, with some scorn, declared that he
could see the better of the two, and to
prove it asked Simonet if he could see
the match under his foot. Simonet felt
under his foot, and sure enough there
was the match. 1t was a dark night,
and besides Janicaud was some thirty
feet ahead of him and had his nightcap
drawn closely over his face"
