A sToRE OF REFINEMENT.
F. W. Tiernan & Co.'S Splendid Offer ings for Christmas. .-

1ngS TOT ChrlSImaS. g.
 The modern tendency in Christmas presents is toward refinement. The
 days of the "Philistines' are over, be- cause in these days 1t is possible to buy Christmas presents of originality and
 elegant beauty for exceedingly low prices. .5 s g,,g,.s5sa zss .., t... .-.s l The store of F.. ". Herman & Co, at
 S27 Chapel street is, sometimes called | '"The Shop of Refinement" It is here that one goes to get presents for the sort of people who are called cultured. for the pictures, for pretty statuettes. Flor the most beautiful of mirrors. If
 one is to give a picture which he has painted to friend, say that water color | of the lane, or the picture of the old
 homestead, he wouldehaye 1t framed in a fashion really artistic at Tiernan's. It has been said: Most anyone can paint a good picture, but 1t takes Tier nan to frame it."
 I There is practically no limit to the
 number of novelties for creating the home beautiful. From the cheery fire place, which needs 3 pair of clever andirons. to the fall bookcase, where there ought to be q head of Mozart, there are everywhere places waiting to be supplied by you, the supply wherefor ! is to be found at Tiernaf's. :..s.sz. ss l If Dr. James writes another Psycholo- gy he will speak of the Tiernan habit the custom of going constantly to his store to see the latest novelty in art goods. For a person of aesthetic tastes it Is a delight to spend an hour in the art world now and then, at Tiernan's.
 These people learn a fact of which a
 surprisingly large number of people re- main ignorant, the fact that these beau- tiful things, among which it is a pleas
 ure and cultivation to dwell, cost no more than ugly and misshapen things.
 This is a store which at one time better merits its high and well sustained repu- tation than at the holidays. There are art stores and art stores; but there Is
 a vast and vital difference between them. In store like Tiernan's the proprietor uses a trained artistic taste
 to select and keep in stock the latest and the best designs at lowest consist lent prices. Then there are stores which
 keep a fine stock of goods-in the show
 window! sa-mss
 Whoever calls at S27 Chapel street
 will be most courteously treated and it
 will he demonstrated to him wherein lies the value of the Herman store.

In tire singular failure of the old windows of
York Cathedral, the glass has lost most of its
transparency, and in places has become so per-
forated that it crumbles at the slightest touch.
To stop the disease some glass of the thir-

moved. 1t is known that the hardest cement is
sometim disintegrated by chemical action set
up by minute organisms, and it is supposed that
the destruction of the glass has been due to

rain is somewhat frequent-from May to De-

while propelers-as they have been used in
