Fashions Of Other Days.
From the London Queen.

On taking the other day bird's-eye view
of a collection Of old English garments of
the eighteenth century we noticed a par

homely trimming in smart feminine attires
Round the elbow sleeves Of a dress limply
hung two frills, consisting Of straight bands
Of cane stitch knotted with lis or mohair
wool. In another instance the friIls were
formed with borders Of crochet work in the

modest British style Of knitting strangely
contrasts with the snowy work OF Italian
women of about the same period, who used
to put their pride In reproducing with the
smooth knotted work the glorious designs

The Worthy Poor.

4. There Is at least one other channel into
which man anxious to spend money well
might be tempted TO pour the stream of
wealth, and that Is private charity. Every
man of wealth and position receives beg
ging letters, and knows, too, that OCCASION
ally they are the outcome of genuine want
and distress. Every one, again, is familiar
with those cases of poverty in which Just
a little more money-the very rich man
would perhaps hardly believe how little 1t
is-would make all the difference between
happiness and misery. The writer heard
Of one such case short time ago, in which
1t was only the unexpected arrival of a
chance sovereign which prevented a lady
from taking her three children to the work.
house. Yet she had somehow managed to
conceal her poverty from her neighbors, and
1t was only by chance that 1t was discov-
cred that, unable to obtain needlework she
had lived for days practically on nothing
In order that the children might have food.
Such cases are nearly always those of
gentlefolk. and are. Of course, familiar to
every clergyman's wife.

BAREHEADED MEN,
Going Without Hats to Promote
Growth Of Hair.

From the Providence Journal.
An altruistic halter not long since ap-
proved the habit Of going hatless on the
ground that 1t was good for the hair. He
argued with some force that the large
number of bald-hsaded men was a direct
result of wearing hats, since air and light
are necessary for the growth OF hair as
well as of plants. However this may be. a
hatless man is no longer an unusual sight.
To let the hair grow to a reasonable length
and to go bareheaded has been fad with
young men. borrowing a hint perhaps from
the foot ball player. But It has been con-
fined to summer and the country. A hat
less man in a city street would still attract
attention. All this may be changed, how
ever, If the fashion now prevalent in Lon
don is transplanted to the United States. as
fashions originating there are pretty sure
to be. We have noticed all through this

hatless men about London. We wonder
what 1t means? But we fervently hop

headgear may lead to the cultivation of the

Here is the first note in crusade for
beauty, and 1t ought to awaken a respon-

habit OF wearing the hair close croppei is
not exactly modern; it was practiced by
the Romans at the time of their greatest
power. But mediaeval chivalry and short
hair were plainly Incompatible and the
most wonderful age that modern history
has known-the thirteenth century, OF
course, not the nineteenth-was an age

ANACOSTIA NEWS.
Labor Day Was Celebrated in Different
Ways.

Varied forms Of entertainment in the
Anacostia district attracted large Labor
day gatherings. There was general sus-
pension of business in the section, and
many persons went from the suburb to
swell the crowds. The annual picnic on
the grounds of the German Orphan Asylum,
on Good Hope road. above Anacostia. for
tho benefit of the children. under the
auspices Of the Ladies' Aid Society, was
held during the afternoon. The occasion,
always causes the assembling of hundreds
of substantial citizens interested in the
Institution, and yesterday was a particular
success, as the bright weather permitted
the attendance of about 700 people. Coaches
from Monroe and Harrison streets, in Ana
costa, conveyed the visitors to the GROUNDS:
The institution was effectively decorated
with flags and bunting, and when evening
came brilliant lights shone from the walls
and the interior. During the afternoon the
children of the asylum played games on
the lawns, and to the victors were awarded
suitable gifts. Inside there was concert
and dancing music and lively scene was
presented in the halls devoted to these
amusements On the lawn near the insti-
tuition booths and tables were erected, from
which, under the trees, refreshments were
dispensed to the large audience. Supper
was served in the dining hall.

Hospital Annex to Great Metal-Work-
ing Plants.
From the Pittsburs Leader.
Nearly all Of the metal-morking plants In
Pittsburg and vicinity are admirably
equipped with a hospital annex for cases
that require speedy and prompt attention.
The distance of hospitals from some Of the
works renders 1t possible that an injured
man Is liable to expire from exhaustion be-
fore he is admitted to the institution. To
obviate this the owners have fitted up a
room or building where injured and sick
employees can be treated at once.
The Mesta Machine Company has a room
IL by % feet, well lighted. with concrete
floor, located on the ground floor OF the
Office building. It is practically an emer-
gency hospital. full and complete line
of roller bandages. Esmarch triangular
bandages, splints, tourniQuets. anaesthettcs.
hypodermic syringe, needles. silk, etc., with
Linton and iodoform gauze dressings are
kept on hand to enable the surgeon to give
the best possible care and attention to the
injured person.
When an employe Is injured In any man
ner that he is unable to walk the stretchers
kept in various places in the works are
utilized and he is at once taken to this
emergency hospital. where he Is taken In
charge by an employe who Is proficient in
rendering first aid. Pending the arrival Of
a surgeon the patient is placed IN the best
position necessary to attend to his injuries
and temporary antisepuo dressings are
used. In cleansing wounds Of any kind
only distilled water is used. and then thor
oughly carbolized. and a liberal supply OF
both hot and cold distilled water Is on hand.
In cases OF burns or scalds q dressing OF
carron oil Is sometimes used or ptcrfo acid
dressing may be applied.
After treatment in severe injuries the

 In St. Louis the buildings along the river front have practically been aban- doned and the first floors are more than a foot under water, which stands tonight two feet deep on the top of the steamboat levee In South St. Louis fully one hundred families living near the mouth of the river des Peres were forced to leave their houses to- cay and many families living in house. bOuIS 4AEh IO 1uIAtt Abl ShGiLSi.
 A telephone message tonight from Waterloo, H., forty miles below St Louis, situated in the lowlands several miles from the river, said that the flood has spread to that point and a levee erected for such an emergency is in danger of being washed away.
 Government aid is asked to strength en the levee and avert the threatened inundation of the town. Investigation is being made and if it is found that lives are in danger government boat will be rushed there at once.
 At midnight the stage of the river registered S4.6 feet. a rise of almost five inches since sunset.

 Russian government is the first to dis approve of such horrid acts of violence,

 the Russian population to new excesses
