wanted to sell me a work on etiquette

trying to teach it to you for sixteen years

MEN AND THINGS ABROAD.

that something should be said of the
smaller places, which certainly were
not less attractive Bowness on Lake
Windermere comes first, and has charms
wholly its own. The village is COM
pactly built on the hillsides rising more
or less abruptly from the lake shore.
The shops and dwelling alike are built
of gray stone. and most of them are
covered with ivy and climbing roses:
and late as was the season, here and
there a white rose stood out against
the dark green OF the ivy. The dwell
ingS had little garden plots in front
tilIed with flowers, foliage plants and
shrubbery; aud window boxes, brilliant
with their wealth of blossoms relieved
the grey, ivy-clad walls. Mrs. Elwell
SAID it reminded her of a stage town,

Nothing surprised me more than the
dress Of the people seen on the streets
in England and Scotland; and there
surely must have been great changes
since the days when considered myself

glengarry, was the correct thing. In

tai For the street, ladies dressed very
plainly, but blossomed in the evening
into full dress. OF course all large
cities are more or less cosmopolitan,
and you see only small proportion of
Inc residents on the streets. but the
people we did see upset all preconceived
notions as to English dress. We even
saw the combination of plug hat and
sack coat, which is froWned upon in this
country; and in Edinburg and London
women appeared upon the streets in
the morning arrayed in frlls and fur
bellows as for an afternoon reception or
a garden party. Some of these cos
tunes were in glaringly bad taste; and
the general impression of all the people
seen, i'll all the cities and towns visited.
was unfavorable. On landing in Port
land, on our return, we noticed with
pleasure that the dresses seen on the
street were in much better taste, and
more in accord with what we had be-
lieved to be the English style.

Canten People Are Eating All
the Eggs Offered and
Dealers Refuse to
Cut Prices.

Some Canton dealers who are pretty
we'll stocked up with potatoes, fear
that they may have lot left on their
hands, and have cut the retail price
to 80 cents a bushel. The stock Is
first quality. At this tino Of the
year, potatoes begin to sprout and get
soft and dealers are a little chary
about having too many on hand. This
will cause reduction in price. The
supply in the country is said to be
much larger than was at first supposed
and holders are rushing tubers into
the market as fast as the trains can
haul them, so that there Is little dan
ger of any shortage in supply this
spring.
In spite of the fact that eggs are
coming forward freely, the price still
holds up to 25 cents a dozen Monday
morning. Cantonians are eating all
that are offered at that price, appar-
emily trying to make Up for lost time.
As a consequence, dealers are slow to
cut the rates. They pay 20 cents q

GREAT DAMAGE

tStaH SDeCiVI.J
East Liverpool. March 3.-The Ohio
river is receding at the rate of inches
an hour today, the stage at noon being
35 feet. Sunday the city water supply
was shut off, the water reaching the
fire boxes in the engine room of the
pump house and drowning out the fire.
Pumping was resumed again this
morning.
All of the potteries along the river
are flooded and idle. The damage will
run into the hundreds of thousands
though they were flooded but brief
period of time. Only in the lower sec-
tion of the west side were houses food
ed Suffering will be comparatively
small in this respect.
In Wellsville 1t is estimated that
two hundred families have been driven
from their homes while New Cumber-
land and Empire are both sufferers in
this respect. The Chelsea potteries
New Cumberland are flooded and idle.
Toronto, Ohio, escaped completely.
Congo and Chester, w. Va, both es-
capped, but Beaver, Beaver Falls
Bridgewater and New Brighton Pa,
are all more or less affected. All
these towns have been in darkness
through the flooding of the electric
light plants.
The present cold weather will hurry
the fall Of the stream, which will pror-
ably recede as rapidly as 1t came up.
