COLD WAVE
Damaged Fruit and Vegeta-
bleS in Louisiana.

New Orleans, La, Feb. 21.-Early
fruits and vegetables, mostly intend
ed for shipment to the North, have
been damaged by the cold wave of
the last two days, which arrived on
the gulf coast simultaneously with
the blizzard in the North. Reports
today from Southern Mississippi and
Louisiana are that strawberries, which
are in bloom, have been injured, and
that lettuce, radishes and peas have
suffered. Peach, pear and orange
trees, which were in blossom, have
been hurt, but great numbers of
such trees escaped, but their buds
have not yet opened. Long Beach,
Miss, which is on the gulf shore, re-
ported ice half an inch thick.

Vogue of Old Novels.

1t is not uncommon to hear elder
ly people lament that no one now
reads the books which were popular
in their young days; and they will
probably add that no living writer
can for a moment compare with the
generation of authors that has pass
ed away; by which they generally
man Dickens. Thackeray, George
Eliot, Bulwer, Troilope, Bronte,
Hawthorne, etc, We have; howev-
er, every now and then a report
from librarians of large libraries
which goes far to disprove the cor
.rectness of the complaints of these
"old souls" since they show that
many of the authors named are still
in great demand by the public and
hold their own very we'll alongside
of the books which are in favor for
the moment, and 1t was not a little
surprising to find that in a table
based on those reports David Cop

centage of 92 and that "Ivanhoe"

UPS AND DOWNS
OF a Man Who Was Repair
ing Paddle Wheel.

Morgantown, KY, Feb. 2l.-Mr.
Chas Thomas of this place, carpenter
on the steamer Bowling Green, a
stern-wheeI boat, came near losing
his life while doing some repair
work on the boat.
He had gone out on the wheel to
work and had failed to tell the en-
gineer of his intentions. The engin-
eer was signaled to go ahead and
started his engines. Some one on
the boat happened to notice Thomas
on the wheel and ran to the engin-
eer and had him stop his engines.
Thomas managed to keep from
drowning by climbing from plank to
plank of the wheel, as the wheel had
not started we'll before it was stop
ped. Thomas says he will never go
out on the wheel again without let
ting the engineer know of his where
abouts.

"The Jewel that Sheds
Lustre by NV Side. "

Empress Augusta Victoria's mag
nifcent diamonds, which she wears
on great occasions at court, are val
ued at a million and a quarter of
dollars. In them she justifies in a
double sense the compliment the
Emperor once paid her when he gal
lantly referred to her as "the jewel
that sheds luster by my side," says
Berlin telegram.
Most of them are heirlooms of the
Prussian crown and can only be
worn by a reigning Queen, but she
has more than half million dollars
worth of diamonds that are her pri-
vate property.

IMPROVING
Conditions Give Work to
Unemployed.

New York, Feb. % lit is estima-
ted by one of the managers of the
association for improving the condi-
tion of the poor that there are ap-
proximately 10000 homeless men in
New York to-day. OF these proba-
bly, 60 per cent are non.residents.
Whilst it is the societY's estimate
that about / per cent would work if
they were gives employment.
Though the poverty of the deserving
unemployed is real and their need of
help constant, the society has reas-
ons to believe that conditions are
improving, the number of men out
of work growing smaller, and final
ly that the total of the deserving
class of the unemployed has been ov-
er-estimated.
The great majority, a society man.
ager said yesterday, belong to the
vagrant class and work" the or
ganization when they get a chance
to do so. "The men go to the mis-
sions," he said, "and get all they
can, then to ministers and get all
they can there; next they fall into
the bread line, and in a few days.
when they think we have forgotten
them, come back to US. We have
tried to distinguish the deserving,
but when the past of the run of ap-
plicants is sifted, not more than l
per cent are honest or sober or will
ing to work when they can."

One of the most practical plans for
inculcating among the masses taste
for plants and flowers has been hit
upon by the city fathers of the little

care for. Inspectors at the end OF the

state of affairs. Capt. Hagood's re-
port is based upon large number OF
reports secured by him from the diff.
ferent army posts.
The report also undertakes 20 show
why soldiers will not stay in the army.
some of the answers being based on
demands for restoration of the can.
teen, less frequent change of station.
fewer court-martials, building gymna
Sums and increased pay.
1t is shown that the only other great
nation maintaining an army of any
size by voluntary enlistment-Great
Britain-pays her soldiers more than
the United States, although the cost
of living is much less in the case OF
the British soldier.
The report shows the changes that
have occurred in recent years in the
expense of living at the army posts;
how the value of the allowances has
shrunken, how travelling expenses OF
officers with families have increased
through abolition of passes and re-.
duced rates of fare; how more fire..
quent changes of post involve heavy
household expenses, and Capt. Hagood
points out that unprecedentedly it Is
now very difficult to obtain suitable
material to fill the numerous vacan.
cies at West Point.

Tunlc Effects.

Some of the new skirts for dressy
gowns have tunic effects, but rather
carried out by an upper skirt of trim
ming than by an upper skirt of ma
terial.
1t is more than probable that what
will succeed the present type of toilet
will in some form or other be the
tunic.
Such. at any rate, is the opinion Of
many dressmakers. and were the tunic
boldly launched for dressy sort of a
winter toilette nobody in Paris would
be taken much by surprise, so 1t is
said.
Still this is more likely to be
brought out for very late rather than
the early winter, and for evening
rather than street wear.

equilibrium without change of posi-
ton by the aeronaut.
One of the features of the specifica-
tions that will appeal particularly to
inventors of limited financial means is
that relative to the silk to be used In
the construction of the balloon. This
is one of the most expensive items In
the machine, and 1t is stated that the
material for the gas bag will be fur
nished by the government. The sig
nal Office has procured some samples
of silk of great strength, pliability and
closeness of texture. 1t weighs 5,S42
ounces per square yard and has a
minimum breaking strength of 62h
pounds per inch width. This mate
rial requires no varnish, but is to be
covered with an aluminium preparat
ton, which will not only make 1t gas
tight, but will, by rejecting the rays
of the sun, prevent considerable loss
of hydrogen, such as occurs when an
ordinary balloon Is suddenly exposed
to the increased temperature of the
sunlight upon emerging from cloud.

"The Some Of the shIrt.r

The select committee of the Brit
ish house OF commons, in taking
testimony recently in regard to the
control and regulation of the con-
ditions under which home work Is
carried on, heard the evidence of the
president Of the Women's Trade
Union league.
She said that the difficulty in or
ganizing home workers was due to
the fact that they were too poor to
help themselves. This witness men,
toned the case of woman known
to her who could earn only 75 cents
week by shirt making. She men
toned the case of another shirtmaker
who received only 81 cents dozen
for making shirts.
The witness produced blue cotton
shirts which were made for 1871 cents
dozen. She said that without char
liable subsidies or poor law relief
the persons who accepted these low
wages could not exist.
