many shades and tones is much in evil
dence. Its quite universal acceptance
may be due to the fact that it is a color
becoming to almost every woman, but
it's more likely that the real reason lies
behind the fact that Paris has gone
daft apparently over this color and is
sending it to us in gowns. coats and
hats-together with accessories in every
conceivable shade. Browns are also to
be much worn. with beguiling shades
of green, apricot, mode and champagne

About Napkins.

At the best houses, napkins are still
laid at the left of the forks or upon the
service plate If preferred.
Sometimes they are half folded over
with small piece of bread or dinner
roll inclOsed, though ordinarily these
are now laid upon the bread and butter
plate.
The napkins Is folded square, with
the initial or monogram Of the hostess
on top.
Napkins folded in fancied shapes are
not tolerated outside of country hotels
and restaurants.
The luncheon napkin may be smaller
than the dinner one.
Napkins should be ironed while quite
damp, so rs to give them the gloss and
finish so desirable in all table linen we'll

A Wrongful Grief.

There are tragedies. too, on the We
might prevent or lessen.
I have one in mind now. All day
long on boarding house veranda not
many miles from this city sits young
woman. large-eyed, sad-eyed, never
smiling, seldom speaking. though at her
side is maid companion hired for the
express purpose Of cheering her up"
Every night the wOman's husband
comes from town, smilingly greeting
her. and only nod, never smile in
return. They sit at table in a cor
ner with meals altogether different
from those served at the long table in
the center. Great jugs of cream. lus-
cious berries, bread made to order, a
special brand of butter, artistic-looking
salads, try to tempt the woman to
heartness and cheer. A year ago she
must have been pretty. Now she Is
plain, though her every feature is per-
feet. Her hair Is glossy and would
wave except for her insistence upon the
application of wet hairbrush by the
maid companion. She dresses once Il
day. always in plain black, with never
bewitching rufile nor cOquettish end
of lace. Every morning the husbands
CHEEKY "Good-by, DEAR" rings across
the veranda, half hopefully, half dis
couraged, for now 1t is five months
since this woman's baby died, and she
has not smiled since!
Pinned to her plain black collar is
brooch of the baby's photograph and
containing his hair, clipped from him
when in the coffin. lie was three months
old when he died, and after five months
the mother does not smile.
Somehow one wants to shake the wo-
man in black, pinch her, tell her that
her rnirthless life is life of sin more
terrible than almost any other sin Of
which one may conceive. For there is
the dead child's father to think of and
the future children which she should
take to her heart and mother. One
would tear from her the horrid black
robe and robe her in the pink which
would brighten her skin and tighten her
eyes. One would unroll her hair and
scatter its tresses to the sun till the
god of light brought back the waves
and careless curls. One would make
her laugh till the veranda rang with
echoes. One would take even the brooch
from her throat and place it tenderly.
lovingly away. And then one would
have her fall upon her knees confessing
her sin both to her husband and her
God.
For greater sin hath no woman than
this-the spelling of the life of the
man who loves her, the refusal to look
up and be glad and hide her heartfche.

How to Dry the Hair.

order to dry it quickly and prevent
this, use for the final rinsing quite hot
water in which few drops Of alcohol
have been added. Then rub the hair

dry as possible.
Next take two or three towels, divide
the hair and wipe each strand separ-

strand separately, and it will soon be
perfectly dry.

AUTOS IN GERMAN ARMY.
Corps to Be Recruited from Members
 of German Automobile Club.

The German army, which already has three battalions of telegraph oper- ators and one of aeronauts, is to be provided in the near future with a volunteer corps of chauffeurs. At first, says the Scientific American, 1t was proposed to establish an automobile post or station, but the project was abandoned on account of the great cost 1t would involve. The volunteer automobile corps is to be recruited from among the members of the Ger man Automobile club, and it is lim- ited to the Prussian provinces and the states whose military contingent is un- der the direction of the Berlin au- thorities. The persons who wish to enter as volunteers are asked to apply to the Automobile club, with declar- ation in which they engage first to serve an unlimited time in case of war; second, to undertake three pe- riods of maneuvers of ten days each, in the space of four years, and, third, to carry out all the orders which are given them by the officer in command. On November of each year the club communicates to the minister of war the list of volunteers available during the following years, with their ad- dresses and the necessary data as to machines, etc. The volunteers are re- quired to wear a gray uniform while in service. Prince Henry of Prussia has been placed at the head of the corps.

WONDERFUL CANARY BIRD.
Singular Performances of Tiny Song ster in Massachusetts
 Town.

A wonderful canary bird belongs to family in Everett. The little fellow has the freedom of the house, flying whithersoever he lis.eth at all times. says the Boston Herald. While good friends with every member of the family, he is particularly attached to the child of the house, a little girl four or five years old. When the child comes where the canary is he rushes excitedly to meet her and be- gins the most frantic caresses, perch. ing on her head and shoulders and finally nestling under her ear. where he reaches round to the rosy chin and lips and kisses them in true bird fash ion. But, not content with this ardent demonstration, he insists on making the little girl open her mouth, and then he daintily taps each tooth with his tiny beak. If she refuses to part her lips "to see what the bird will do." as she says, he scolds and fut- ters and even pecks at her cheek un- til he finally obtains his own way again. What the idea can be. unless Mir. Canary thinks the white teeth are bits of sugar or cuttlefsh, it is difn- cult to conjecture. That he has some method in his caprice is quite evident. To no one else does he show any such marked attention

REMINDER OF BLIZZARD.
Snow Souall Set People Thinking of
 Eighteen Years Ago.

To-day is the anniversary of the great.blizzard of 1888 and for time last night it looked as if we were go- ing to have repetition of 1t and thus give the rising generation an opportunity to see what a real snow storm means. It showed some last night and there were few squalls to-day, but they didn't amount to anything. The picture this morning before the sun unloosened the hand- some scenery that greeted the eye no matter which way one turned, WIS the handsomest seen in Waterbuly this season and people who slept too long will never know what they missed. But what matter about that? The presence of the snow set people to talking about the blizzard and according to some nobody ever saw the like of it in this part of the country. According to the files of the Democrat, the storm set in at 6 o'clock on the evening of the elev- enth of March and ragged until 1 o'clock on the afternoon of the four teentn. Business was at standstill and many suffered for the necessar- ies of life. The railroads were block ed until the fifteenth, when the Naugatuck road was opened as far as Derby, where passengers bound for New York took the boat. The next day the Watertown road was opened and on the seventeenth the first mail from New York, since the storm commenced, rolled into the station at 10 o'clock in the forenoon. On the nineteenth the New England road was opened as far as Hartford. Fortv-two inches of snow fell during the storm.

DEATHS AND FUNERALS.
We'll Known People Who Have Been
 Called Away.

Martin CampiOn, a we'll known and highly respected resident of Merry street, died last night after a few days illness, following an operation performed last Tuesday. In the carly part of the day it was thought that he was improving but in the evening he took bad spell and sank gradually until the end came. Mir Campion was a native of Barnadarrig, Queens county, Ireland, but had resided in Waterbury for the past twenty years. most of which was spent at the Waterbury Buckle company, where he was regarded as faithful employe and a very agreeable shopmate. Be sides his widow he leaves six child ren. Daniel, Martin, John, Patrick. Bridget and Mary; also two brothers and four sisters, John and Daniel and the Misses Mary, Ellen, Bridget and Elizabeth. all of whom reside in Ire land. He was a member of Court Phelan, F. of A. Mir Campi0n was man of good habits and was we'll liked by all who knew him. He was home man in the fullest sense of the word Nhu bhVii hOt ONSuPiCu dt HE NVih III the factory spent all his time in the companionship of his wife and chill- ren. He was pleasant, cheerful man, always pleased to hear of the success of his neighbors and possessed a happy faculty of learning something good about everybody and shutting his eyes and his ears to what might not rebound to one's credit so that while he knew much regarding the better points of the character of those who came in touch with him he WAS silent when the other side of the pie ture was thrown on the canvas. Un- til recently he enjoyed the best of health and in appearance was man who was likely to live ripe old age. The funeral will take place from the family residence to St Francis Kay ier's church tomorrow morning at S:30 o'clock.

MITCHELL GIVES REASONS.
Why Miners Demand Increase of Pay
 and Eight Hour Day.

ana El8nt hOuE OAys
 WASHINGTON, March F. This week should see decision one way or the other of the question of strike of coal miners in both the anthracite and the bituminous fields The operators. having sent to the miners their reply to the demands of the United Mine Workers of America, in which they re- feet the propositions of the anthracite workers, the miners will probably go into conference immediately, and their decision ought soon to be reached and the question of strike settled. AS a direct result of President Roosevelt's letter to President Mitchell, special national convention of the United Mine Workers of America will assemble in Indianapolis on Thursday next.
 President Mitchell, acting for the miners committee, in a letter to the committee of operators has outlined the reasons upon which the demands of the miners were based as follows:
 I've favor a uniform scale of wages for men paid by the day, hour or week because of the fact that men per forming precisely the same character and, indeed, the same amount of la bor cannot work with any degree of contentment while the compensation received by them is not uniform. At the present time this condition exists in the anthracite field.
 "We propose an increase of 10 per cent in the rates paid to contract min CTS for several reas0ns-first, the gen eral industrial. commercial and trade conditions of the country justify an increase of wages to all classes of la- bor. The prosperity of the coal carry ing roads is unprecedented. as is dem- onstrated by their reported earnings and the enhanced value of their stocks.
 "we favor an eight hour workday because eight hours is the standard working day of coal mine workers in nearly all the bituminous districts of our country as well as in many of the mining districts of Great Britain and the continent, and eight hours is as long as a man can work in a coal mine without doing injury to his own health and consequent injury to society"
 A dispatch from shamokin. Pa.. says that the report from the anthracite coal companies that they will not grant single demand of the United Mine Workers was received with sur prise and disappointment. Many of the miners declare they will quit work April 1 unless they receive conces- sions.
