STRUG A sNAG.

A remarkable instance of what na- ture can do can be seen in front of the residence of Dr. White, 276 State street. Several large elm trees have been cut down along the street in order that the roadway may be as- phalted without going around a tree, part of which grows in the street.
 In front of Dr. Whites residence was a very large tree. about two feet of the base of which extended into the street. The upper branches were cut down, and this afternoon men were set at work on the roots, cutting them away that they might throw the trunk over along side of the curb. But they struck a snag and a bad one. They found that the roots of the elm had grown about the gas pipe connecting the house with the street main so firmly that they could not be removed without breaking the pipe, thus depriving Dr. White of gas ser vice. This the gas company's people would not allow. and late this after noon the trunk was still standing.

RIBBONS THE DAY ROUND.

A woman is never unribboned in the entire "A hours. It is true that she simply lives in ribbon, indoors and out and even when she Is sound asleep ribbon is always with her,
 For sleeping there is the cap, in some cases made out of ribbon. The new style has shaped collar effect across the front, graduated from four inches on the right side to one and a half inches on the left. It is edged with frills of narrow ribbon.
 Then after wearing her breakfast cap. made in much the same way. and the negligees made and trimmed with ribbon. the woman decides to go out to do her shopping. and she dons a ribbon girdle, made with side pockets of blue moire ribbon, finish ed on the edges with side plaited blue and green ribbon. Her hat Is made of ribbon and often times her waist is of the same material.
 When she is ready to go calling fin the afternoon she uses cap made of very wide navy blue taffeta ribbon, trimmed with narrow picot edged lowered ribbon and finished off with self fringe.
 When going out in the morning she wears' a white Tagel hat trimmed with a French blue and white faille ribbon made into wheel rosette and edged with side plaited frill and band of ribbon. f
 Of course her costume is not com plete without a handbag made of wide cerise satin ribbin.
 Then when she is ready to attend the theatre she carries her opera bag of coral crepe de chine; ribbon dec- orated with many puf1ngs and frills of narrow ribbon.
 Auw this is not considering the yards of ribbon of all widths used no lingerie and gowns. Even fringe is being made of ribbon for dress and millinery purposes. Thus ribbon has become to the woman an absolute and continuous necessity, practically the only material that is with her all the time. f

 The Baltimore Patriot intimates that very singular diplomatic cor on between the French minister and our government. It seems that at an entertainment last summer, near Baltimore, at which the French gen. eral, Le Fevbre Desnouttes, was a guest, MT. Skinner, the postmaster at Baltimore, gave a toast: ''The gen. erals of France in exile; the glory of their native land; not to be d1shonor- ed by the denunciations of an imbicle tyrant."
 M. Hyde de Neuvil1e, his Christian Majesty's minister. has had the con- descension and friendship to inform MT. Madison, that if he will turn out of office his obnoxious postmaster. his master will not impute him (the Pres ident) the high indignity offered to the Lords annointed), in the foresaid toast of MT. Skinner. In other words he has demanded the removal of the postmaster.-The answer is not known, though it may be easily guess ed.-Albany Argus.

COOPERATIVE Assoc.

The constables of Indiana Co.
have formed an organization
through which they hope that
the capture of criminals will be
simplified. The organization
was planned by the court and
the district attorney, and is
along the line of a county police
force.
The name, address and tele-
phone number of every con-
stable in the county has been
listed. A copy will be placed in
the hands of every constable.
Where a crime is committed the
organization will find it very
easy to get the officials of the en-
tire district out, working for the
apprehension of the criminal.
