Henry Kingley, a driver of one Of the
Diamond State Brewing Company's
wagons, had narrow escape from be-
ing ground beneath the wheels of big
coal car loaded with thlrty-five tons of
coal which was cut loose from a high
trestle in the yard Of the Diamond
state steel Company.
The wagon was crossing the track
when Kingley, hearing the noise, look
ed up i'm time to give the horses a cut
and clear the track. as the car with
terrific speed, swept past barely graz
ing the hind wheels of the wagon.
A shifting engine had been plying
around at the foot of the incline a few
moments before Had it been there
when the car came down, serious ac-
cident would surely have followed.
The accident was caused by an Ital-
ian pulling the coupling pin from the
car, which was partly on the incline.

In corset covers there are no end of
novelties. They are no longer made with
a frill or skirt below the waist, but are
Of the French style, gathered on to fine
beading and ribbons at the waist. They
must be well fitted, and good French
woman will charge from five to eight
dollars apiece for the making alone.
Those made Of squares of fine linen are
among the newest. The squares are
joined by fine valenciennes insertion,
and in one of them the monogram ap-
pears. Three lace medallions, front and
back, finish the top of this model Lace
has the run for corset covers, and if
machine-made embroidery is used at all
it must be Of the very finest variety.
Some of the Swisses and mulls come
in such handsome patterns that they
look almost like handwork. They may
be used with good effect especially if
supplemented with handwork.
Ribbons hold their place in the femi-
nine heart, and no piece of late under
wear is without trimming of this sort.
Some Of the chemises and corset covers
show such wide ribbons that their effect
is almost clumsy-a thing intolerable in
lingerie, where daintiness is the essen
tial element. The nainsook and wash
petticoats have largely usurped the place
occupied so long by the fancy silk skirt
Those Of silk are still worn, but the
more particular fashionables have
adopted the softer and quieter white
ones with elaborate trimmings-Lady

FASHION

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-Now that the
season is SO far advanced, modes in win
ter gowns are scarcely altering, nor will
there be many changes until the spring
toilettes appear. They are already well
i'm hand and promise to be charming and
novel, While the fashionable modistes
and importers are busy with these,
the home dressmaker IL making up for
the Modish Spring outfit the loveliest of
dainty lingerie and tea gowns. Many of
the tea gowns are as elaborate and as
intricately made as gowns proper, and
dressmakers say they are fully as diff
cult to design and execute, for up-to-
date women are as difficult to please in
house and boudoir gowns. lingerie, etc,
as they are in street and calling cos
tunes.
One of the popular models In wrappers
is of the lace-yoked, accordion-plaited
style. The lace Is always good. Cluny

The deep plaitings fall loose from the

tials and monograms for hosiery have
not had much Of a vogue among the
elect, although there was a strenuous
effort made to introduce them q short
time ago. Kimonos and japanese robes
have undergone wonderful changes of
late seasons. and the new models are
even more effective than the old. Many
Of as do not care for the styles oriental,
but once let woman or girl get it into
her head that they are becoming to her
and she never knows where to stop.
Lace insets or medallions are per-
haps the most un-eastern innovation in
japanese robes. They look odd, side by
side with heavy gold thread embroider-
les. but there Ii no mistaking their ef-
fectiveness. A white crepe house-gown

recently for a young matron is one solid

ciennes lace Of exquisite texture and de-
sign. The cut is princess, with lace
bolero. somewhat long and laid in loose
falling plaits from the yoke. The sleeves
are short and simple. finished with a
soft founce of lace at the elbow. The
collar is a mass of exquisite hand work,
EYonrh knots nd odd stitches tho

Among lingerie novelties is the new
embroidered Swiss square containing a
monogram or big initial, which is a fea-
ture of all the newly imported wash pet
ticoats The square is about three
inches and Is inserted in the main skirt
of the petticoat, just to the left of the
front, above the top of the fiounce. The
initials are well padded to make them
stand out in relief, and small but in
tricate design Of some sort of flower or
wreath generally surrounds them. In
appliqueing the whole square is button
holed onto the skirt, and a fleur-de-lis
embroidered on each corner.
A liberty satin body has a Swiss en-
broidered monogram inset, and an elab-
crate lace fiounce buttons on to the
body. This detachable wash founce has
been quite a success since its advent
year or so ago. The perpendicularly
tucked ruff1es and laces used in forming
these fiounces have given way to those
on horizontal lines. Most of the new
models in handsome dressy petticoats
show the lace insertions and ribbons or
silk Joined together round and round
the skirt instead of up and down. A
better fulness is thus acquired.
In nightgowns the chemise effect with
long scant lines is highly favored by

Fame's Brief Life.

One thing is certain in regard to
fame-for most of us 1t will be very
brief in itself, for all Of us 1t will be
transient in our enjoyment of It When
death has dropped the curtain, we shall
hear no more applause. and, though we
fondly dream that 1t will continue after
we have left the stage. we do not real
ize how quickly 1t will die away in ST.
lence while the audience turns to look
at the new actor and the next scene.
Our position in society will be filed as
soon as II is vacated and our name re-
membered only for a moment, except,
please God. by few who have learned
to love us not because of fame, but be-
cause we have helped them and done
them some good.-Henry Van Dyke.

Vegetable Acids.

The antiscorbutic properties Of GER
tain vegetables and fruits are in some
cases of fully equal value to their nu-
tritive qualities, and the amount of
potash salts and mild vegetable salts
thus contributed to the blood is well
understood by physicians. The rhu,
barb stalk is noted in this respect for
the malic acid and binoxalate of pot
ash which II contains. The acidity of
the lemon, orange and other species of
the genus citrus is caused by the abun-
dance of citric acid in their juices;
that of the cherry. plum, peach, pear
and apple from the malic acid in their
pulp; that of gooseberries and currants
red, black and white-from a mixture
Of malic and citric acids; that of grapes
from n mixture of malic and tartaric
acids; that of the mango from cltric
acid and n very fugitive essential Oil;
that of the tamarind from a mixture
Of citric. malic and tartaric acids.

An Anecdote of Dumas.

Speaking of Alexandra Dumas, a
writer says that his chief characteris-
tic was his utter disregard of money.
He made millions, but never had
franc at his command. For example,"
said he, upon one occasion Dumas had
invited company to dinner, and, find
ing that he did not stand possessed of
q single cent, drove TO n friends and
asked him to lend him louis. This his
friend readily did, and as Dumas was
taking his leave suggested. as he had
just been getting some very fine pic
kles, he would be glad to give him jar
to add to his dinner. The servant was
sent for the pickles, and when he put
the jar in the carriage, Dumas, having
no other change about him, dropped
the 2 louis in the mans hand"

OLD ENGLISH HOMES.
The Hall was the Principal Apart
ment In the Middle Ares.

The Hall was the Principal Apart
ment In the Middle Ages.
Amid all the luxury Of a modern
home II is hard to realize how our
Anglo-Saxon ancestors lived in what
now would Seem condition Of utter
discomfort. Comfort was, however,
gradually evolved, and the present ar
ticle deals with the time when n re-
fined condition of domestic life was
first beginning TO assert itself.
In this connection 1t must be remem-
bered that during the middle ages in
England there was general revolu-
ton In society. A new class had late
ly sprung into existence. Feudalism
had been destroyed and the middle and
lower elements of the population were
rising.
With their social betterment came an
Improvement both in house construc-
ton and interior arrangement Narrow
streets were still the order of the day,
sadly out of keeping with our modern
ideas of sanitary requirements, while
the houses were chiefly Of the "half
timber kind, some of which had the
lower story of stone and those above,
each projecting over the one below,
consisted of timber framework filled
In with bricks. 1t was a picturesque
fashion, but It did not provide sun
shine and air.
The rooms were usually small and
dark. The hall was the principal pub
lie apartment and remained the only
part of the house unaffected by the
growing taste for domestic privacy.
The general arrangement of this very
important part of the house is made
apparent to us in such pictures as that
of the Hundred Mems Halp' at st.
Cross near Winchester.
AS the hall was the usual scene of
domestic festivities II was consid-
cred necessary to have gallery for
musicians. Sometimes this gallery oc-
cupled two sides. though usually II
was placed at one end, opposite the
dais. In large halls the fireplace was
still In the middle, where there was
constructed low platform of stone of
kind that may be seen In an old cut
representing the fireplace in the great
hall at Penshurst, Kent. Large iron
dogs, or andirons, supported the logs.
In some parts of England they were
called "cob irons" A group of orna-
mental fire irons of the sixteenth cen
tury Is most interesting. Often an i'm
plement placed beneath the flredog was
used for moving logs.
The walls of the hall were usually
furnished with tapestry, and in the
middle was n table with bench on
each side. There were also cupboard.
or "hutch," with side tables, one or two
chairs and perhaps SETTLE" Chairs
were still comparatively rare. Buffet
stools were generally provided, and
these commonly had a hole through the
middle for lifting them.-Home Beauti.
