Wool Embro;deries,

One Of the best points about the
decorative wool embroideries used on
frOcks. coats and hats is that any kind
of wool or silk with braid either mar
row or wide and beads of any size
can be used, and any stitches that are
liked. In some cases the strands of
bright cOlOred wool are stitched down
aS one would stitch narrow braid on
a scroll design. In others sort of
loose crewel stitch is adopted; every
thing depends on the material of the
dress. When the latter is very thin
and fragile il is best TO adopt the
braiding style. as otherwise great care
has to be taken not To pull the fragile
stuff out Of shape and to injure it.

FIRE ENGINES OF ALL SORTS
First Were Primitive Indeed Conn.,
pared With the Splendid Ones
In Use Today.

The first fire engine seen in America
was received ut Boston in 1879 IT
was made in England. and was Of the
type called hand squirts." The in
strument required the labor Of three
men. one on each side to hold the ma
chine steady and to direct the nozzle.
while the third man worked the plung-
er.
This contrivance was not much Of
an improvement over the "siphOns
used in confiagrations," described by
Hero of Alexandria in his work on
pneumatics. written about $50 b. c.
At the close Of the seventeenth CEN
fury a slight advance was made in
Newham's improved engine. patented
in England. which consisted of
strong cistern Of oak. mounted on
wheels. and a suction pipe Of leather.
Steam fire engines had their begin
ming in England in 1880. when Braith-
waite built an engine Of six horsepOw-
er, weighing 5000 pounds. Though its
performances were highly spoken or.
this attempt to apply steam to fire en-
gines cannot be said to have been
successful, owing to its great weight.
A. r. Latta of Cincinnati built an en-
CINE that was a vast improvement over
its predecessors. and 1t was in the
Ohio city. in 1863. that the steam fire
engine first definitely supplanted the
old style Of fireaghting apparatus.
