that the braking power Of the foreign
cars is only from 40 to so per cent, and
that of the home cars is from 20 to 90
per cent. the difference being due to
the fact that foreign cars, as a rule,
have conpara lively level roadbeds to
travel over, while the home cars are
adapted to the steep and curving tracks
of the mountain sides. When the for
eign cars are placed on the mountain
roads and loaded heavily and the air
brakes being about 40 per cent of the
weight of the cars. they cannot be ap-
piled with nearly the force of those of
the mountain cars, whose braking pow
er is about 80 per cent of the weight.
This train was composed mostly of
foreign cars. We have descended the
same mountain, over the same road
bed, with just as many cars as we had
Monday morning. but never with so
many foreign cars. The road had
been very careful not to have too many
cars of low braking poyer on the same
train, but they will be much more
careful now that the accident has oc-
curred.-Colorado Springs Telegraph.

Robert HrownIns's limerick

That very distinguished artist, Mrs. Err

lie, perhaps, as Henrietta Rae tells,
and tells inimitably, delightful story of
Robert Browning, which, l am confident,
has never been published before. The
poet was the center of an admiring group
on Mr.. Val Prinsep's' lawn one summers
with a whimsical touch of exaggerated
homage, presented Browning with mag
nifcent magnolia blossom, apologizing for
the fact that he had no laurel leaves.
"Ahi' cried Browning, entering into the
spirit of the joke, ''Bouz create me your
poet laureate. l suppose you expect a
poem from me to celebrate the event.
Well. you shall have one"
The admiring crowd gathered in yet
closer, conversation ceased, and even the
tennis players, whom Yrowning's rasping
catch such deathleSs StRazaS as might fall
from the poets lips. Then, amid a silence
that could be felt, Browning, without even
the shadow OF Smile,o delivered himself
of the following impEomptu:
There was a young imam with lumbago:

The tendency to small toques nevertheless leaves the large picturesque hats untouched, as is shown by the, two Easter specimens here sketched.
 One is huge triangular shaped hat yelled with polar blue silk muslin and slightly creased under punches of small shaded flowers, red and violet, with a graduated lace dounce hanging all round The other is q young lady's hat in fancy lime green straw, trimmed with muslin kerchief, embroidered at the edges and arranged in soft folds to fall at the back in a waterfall and a twist of green ribbon with loops on either side. st
 Many of the gowns of the day have tasseIs or falling ends somewhere and rows of fringes adorn some of the skirts.
 The new aspect of the blouse is of importance, The exaggerated pouch in front has nearly disappeared in fla vor of just becoming fullness that fits well into that new feature, the high shaped directoire belt. This belt in- stead of cutting the figure abruptly in two after the old fashion emphasizes its graceful curves, and, with deep buckle in front, gives trim look to the lower part of the body and waist. With the new waist arrangement the low cut, straight fronted corset is a necessity, and correct lines'' are as much as ever the key to good style.
 The clever adaptation of eoliennes, silk veiIfngs and crepe de chine to ev- cry sort of dress from reception to tai Tor strikes the observer. With these fabrics braiding and strappings of taf- 1eta are used to achieve a tailor made effect
 Bclero shapes rule in corsages, though with so much variation that the original motif is not always very clear. Short, plaited basques are likely to be used in crape and other soft fab- rics.
