Tim Explains.

Is and another at mile Post 16, and
at signal they started to walk to-
ward each other until they met, and
to point opposite their meeting
place the shanty was moved. This
method of getting the correct distance
did not quite suit Moynahan, espe.
cially when he remembered that one
of the walkers was taller than the
other, and the other tripped several
times on the way down.
He carried this in his mind fol
nearly a year, when he met the engi
neers measuring through for signals
and asked them to tell him, as they
measured, If his house was Just hall
way or not.
When the measurement was taken
the house was found to be 60 feet
nearer mile post 16 than Is, and Moy.
nahan, on being told, remarked that
he thought he could fix things just
right.
Later in the year the engineers met
Moynahan in Salem, and asked him
If his tool house was now half way
between the mile posts?
1T u.s." he replied, cts just half
way"
Did you have much trouble moving
it,"
"No trouble at all; Just let it stay
as it was and moved the mile post"

Dimities Ever Popular.

my sprigged dimity," said the belle
of &c to her tirewoman, when she
wanted to wear her daintiest frock.
For hundred years and more the
dimities have been summer aristo-
crats-cool, fine. silky in texture, and
with patterns unmatched for distinc-
ton and daintiness. The weave never
has changed, it always has been the
perfection of best Irish work; but now
the makers have copied, delicate
French floral patterns, striped effects,
and smart dots. This years patterns
cover variety of styles never before
seen in dimities. The cool dark blues
and soft Dutch blues are specially ap-
preciated, and the lighter effects seem
more bewitching than ever. No mat
ter what the color or printed pattern,
the little cord should run up and down
and across the fabric in a score OF
pretty ways-the dimity hallmark Of
distinction. ,4

scALY ERUPTION ON BODY.
fered 10 Years Completely
Cured by cuticura.

Small sores appeared on each of
my lower limbs and shortly afterwards
they became SO sore that l could
scarcely walk. The sores began to
heal, but small scaly eruptions ap-
peared. The itching was SO severe
that would scratch the sores until the
blood began to flow. After / suffered
thus about ten years l made renewed
effort to effect cure. The eruptions
by this time had appeared on every
part Of my body except my face and
hands. The best doctor in my native
county and many remedies gave no
relief. All this was fruitless. Finally
my hair began to fall out and l was
rapidly becoming bald. A few months
after, having used almost everything
else, I thought I would try Cuticura
Ointment and Cuticura Soap. After
using three boxes l was completely
cured, and my hair was restored, after
fourteen years of suffering and an ex.
penditure of at least $50 or $50 in vain.

LONG COATS IN FAVOR.
oireetoire and Redinsote Styles Arr
Seen Everywhere.

Perhaps suggested by the col
spring, long coats in directoire an.
redingote styles are MOTEL in many OF
the smartest models, and it is fore.
gone conclusion that they will be one
of the chief features of the fall and
winter modes.
In the heavy grass linens, these de,
signs are wonderfully distingue. Ere
quent1y they show clever combina.
tions of materials and have many odd
notes introduced. For example, old
blue linen of coarse, uneven weave
has a long plain skirt, which just
touches the ground all around-an.
other French incongruity since coarse
linen is not dressy fabric-and over
this a three-quarter-length coat cut
on directoire lines. The fronts do
not meet, but are faced back their en-.
tire length with rajah of the same
shade and narrow vest Of Delft
embroidery inserted. The vest is but.
toned down the front with tiny fancy
buttons; opens with little V at the
neck, and ends at the top of the
rather wide girdle which is worn with
the skirt At either side of the vest
there are three large buttons similar
in design to those on the vest, The
sides of the coat skirt and the upper
sides of the sleeves are slashed, the
former to the hips, and the latter
nearly to the top, and embroidery like
that of the vest inserted. The two
edges are then strapped across with
loops of narrow blue soutache, with
tiny buttons fixing them. The French
back is extremely graceful, with a
very slight suggestion of the empire
in its cut, the suggestion accumulated
by three of the larger buttons at
either side.

LEM FOR TIM MoYNAHAN.
His Orders Were to Have Tool House
Half Way Between Mile Posts,
and Consequently Half
!, Way It Was.

About ten years before the Eastern
railroad was leased to the Boston G
Maine, that portion Of the old road
between Swampscott and Salem was
in charge of Section Foreman Tim
othy Moynahan, according to Bos'
ton correspondent.
His strongest point was in doing
just as he was told, and doing that
with energy and accuracy. So when
he was notified from Beverly by Road
master Stevens that the section
lengths were to be changed, and that
he was to move his tool house from
the western end of the Salem yard to
half way between mile posts Is and
16, he started out with the determin-
alton to move the house half way,
no more, no less.
To get this halfway point he sta
toned one of his men at mile post

James Irving, an employee at a New
York coal yard, fell into one of the biz
bins the other afternoon. The bin
contained more than 100 tons of buck.

Brown drove up to get q load Of coal.
A trap about IA by II inches in the

METALLizINo Of FLowERs.
Valuable New Method Of Making
= Bronxe.Plated Objects.

Valuable New Method Of Making
6ronxe-Plated Objects.
After nearly six years Of laborious
research and experiments H. Monge
and g. Arzano OF Brussels, says Tech
meal World Magazine. have perfected
the art Of metalliziHg flowers and 9TH
er objects for decorative purposes.
The first attempt at metallizing OBJ
jects was known to the industrial
world as long ago as 1861, but all ef-
forts to Metallic fruits, flowers, etc,
have been futile up to the time Of the
recent discovery.
BY the new method of making
bronze-plated objects, the secret Of
which is jealously guarded by Messrs.
Aonge and Arzano, it is possible to
metallize even SO delicate q thing as
lace or rose in full bloom.
The inventors have established a
factory for the purpose of producing
their goods, their object being to
place handsomely finished metallized
objects on the market, in every par
ticular equal to but at one-eighth the
cost of cast bronze, and to immutably
fix the forms nature gives to her
products, such as flowers, leaves.
fruits, insects and the like.
While the secret of metallizing is
not disclosed, no hesitancy is observ-
ed in regard to the length of time the
objects to be metallized are retained
in what is known as the bath. The
length of time varies according to the
character of the object and the com
plication of its detail from twenty-four
to seventy-two hours.
The subjects selected for metalliz-
ing are general well known works
of famous artists, objects for decora-
tive purposes and artistic objects.

mer materials of the unfigured vari-
ETY., each of these designs showing a
touch of hand work which gives it de-
cided distinction. It must be admit
ted that even the simplest cotton
frock ornamented with some effective
hand embroidery or braiding has more
style and refinement than has usually
more elaborate material, fussily
trimmed with machine-made laces,
medallions, etc., and SO charming are
the new hand-embroidered summer
materials that it is we'll worth the
extra time required to do the work.
OF course, If one has the time and
inclination to decorate ones own
gowns this use of hand embroidery
is really great saving, as with such
ornamentation very little other trim
ming in the form of lace and so forth
is necessary.
AS to description of the waists pic
tured the first sketch was taken from
frock of soft blue pongee, the
stitchedrbands used as trimming on
the bodice being embroidered with
lozenges or large dots in a darker
shade of blue silk. The little vest was
embroidered in two shades. the whole
blouse being a sort of jumper worn
over guimpe of openwork batiste.
The second blouse was in white
handkerchief linen, hand-embroidered
in dots and scallops in pale blue wash
cotton.
The third design shows a little cape

Varied Uses Of Peat

Among the varied uses of peat, that
for the production of gas is perhaps
the least known, says the London
Globe. 1t has been used for this pur-
pose, however, for the last thirty years
in the steel works of Notala, in Swe-
den. From $4,000 to 10000 cubic yards
of peat are thus used yearly 1t costs
rather more than coal gas, but has
the advantage of containing scarcely
any sulphur or phosphorus. And in
several places in Europe peat gas is
used for heating and in glass melting
furnaces.

SMALL NANTES ARE CHIC.

There is no end to the charming
little mantles worn with gowns and

ever they are put aside. A very at.
tractive louisine silk costume on this
order, worn at recent wedding, was
French gray figured in white. The
skirt had three inset pipings of white
satin in line group crossing like q

The smart mantle matched the skirt
and was draped into the figure over a
fitted foundation of white silk marco

A Noon Blaze.

Last Friday at noon the north
end of the residence of j. r.
Cupp, on Lafayette street was
discovered to be on fire and for q
time it appeared as if the building
was doomed. Several citizens
climbed to the roof and fought
the fire with buckets of water
and extinguished the flames on
top. Two or three went above
the ceiling through the kitchen
trap door and battled with the
flames under the roof. Mr.. Sam
Altman did heroic work with an
axe ana sent the burning shingles
spinning over the caves of the
house. Emerging through an
aperture he was welding his axe
on the burning shingles, when
the whole brick fiue toppled
down and broke across his back,
but fortunately doing him no
injury, on account of its flimsy
construction. The damage to tie
building was small, a destroyed
chimney, n hole in the roof
and some loss from water. Mr..
Atman's energetic aud heroic
work cannot be too highly praised.
To his GOODNESS and promptness
the building was largely saved
from destruction. The fire was
occasioned by q defective kitchen
fiue.
