atu— M-jg;"*"*!! 1 j ■■■ Oour Paslrion Letter. Id view *f the swiftly descending sack <cloth, incident to tbs Lcnton Season, society trips the "light fantastic’’ in toilettes which would grace a court. Even befitting a crown, are many costumes cut from the tra ditional cloth of gold which characterizes present modes. Entertainments on the tapis—present nnd prospective—would do credit to the creeds and conditions of Royalty. Croakers com plain that Carlyle’s prediction concerning the American people is likely to be verified, and for “confirmation strong as holy wit” point to the status of present extravagance in circles where flows the corn nnd wine of the world’s wealth! Yot there is a sunny side to this subject! I)oes not glint of scat tered gold moan bread for the multitudes? Do not the very captices which characterize our styles attest the wisdom of giving work j to those to whom labor means life? and this carnival of goods and graces means occupa- j tion for innumerable people who represent tbe creative and executive genius of a coun try. The people who do most toward the merry making are those to whom the Lenten sacrifice falls lightly as a benefaction. Importers presngo for spring a continu ance of some of the brands which now ob tain. Home spun in golden brown or ecru tints makes pretty and serviceable suitH for the i interviewing season. i Tlio latest caprice in Spring cloths of all i kinds are those shot or decked with color. j Costumes of plain cloth are supplemented by bands, side panels and vest trimmings ol | giaut braid, or any fabric which will impart . tbe tufted effect new so prevalent. Even the canvass—like goods for summer show surfaces of boucle and other caprices of the loom. Twilled fabrics nro softer for spring ser vice, yet retain the broad diagonals in cur rent vogue. English scrges--of light weight of double diagonal—are shown in cream, white and almond shades. An excellent nnd ndaptlve camel’s hair fabric is called Khayyam serge. It comes in nil the rich shades. Wine, prune, smoke, garnet, terracotta, bronze, blue, green and a whole gumfit of browns. This goods is soft, drapeß exquisitely, and is suitable ei ther for house or street service. Beautiful costumes for early spring are made Ironi camel’s hair, just as it comes from the back of the animal. It is soft finished and undyed, nnd is a luxury in late weaves for which the devotees of style arc duly grateful. A dress made tor ship board was of ecru Khayyam, with vest and side panels of gold en tinted Cord tie la reinc Velveteen, which is the ribbed variety ol Nonpareil, so long a favored brand of fashion. Most ladies have black or colored skirts of Corde de. la reine to wear with n polonaise of silk or Khayyam en suite. Other eliminations of loom—craft reveal ed by the sample hooks at Lord and Taylor’s nnd other prominent houses attest the prow ess and progress of present modes, nnd ol each in due season my readers of tho News etittil be apprised.

Among them is Mr. Shields, of Oak woods, Tex., who had Piles for forty years. He had utterly despaired of being helped by Medical aid, abandoned all labor, and the past year was subject to fearful spasms, by which his body was drawn into contortions. On one occasion of his sufferings, Col. Man ning, a friend and distinguished citizen, hap pened to be present, sent for the C. 0. C. medicine, and it was applied, giving instant relief. Mr. Shields was before not able to walk or ride, but after using tho C. C- C. medicine far one week he was out attend ing to business as usual. He is now free from the effects oF the Piles, and considers tbe C. G. C. the grandest medioino of the age. For sale by B. 11. Robinson. True. Amin who drinks will pay his whisky bill when he won’t his grocer’s bill. Will buy a bottle of whisky when it takes every cent he has, and his family is without a mouthful to eat. In buying whisky a man not only spends his money tor that which does him no good, but wrecks his health, unfits him for business and makes a brute of him; and not only is liis money thus use lessly destroyed, but he is put in a condi tion that he can neither thrive, support his family or pay his creditors. Do away with the sale, keep the money spent for whisky and apply it properly and make the drank ard a sober man, so he can work and look after business, nnd the result must be finan cial prosperity. Tho amount paid by each regular visitor to the bar would doubtless lurtiish bread for his family, for he drinks nnd treats, nnd, at ten cents a drink, it is two pounds of meat or nearly a pcekol uieal for each drink.— llatnldnsville News. -♦ ♦ ♦ Dr. M.

What church was he elder on, I sh’d like to know, and writ novels?”— The Gasoltao and Kerosene. /Something should be said respecting the J treatment off -spilled oil or gasoline on fire, i It is better to leave it uloneito burn than to j i lose one’s head; better for do nothing than -| do the wrong tiling. It is only oil on tire; , 3 , it is not dynamite and will not explode, j I 'J he manner of its burning is tha same as 1 that of paper or shavings. Oil is a conoen < trated form of fuel, and a small amount off - it will develop moro heat than a ennaidern ; hie quantity of paper. Prompt action is, , therefore, often necessary in dealing with burning oil. being a fluid, it is readily dis persed about the room, tuad may spread fire to all parts of q room if improperly han dled. The first care is to prevent the spread ing of the oil. This is what is not done in a great many cases. An instance recently reported is where a man, grown to mature ; years, a man reckoned intelligent, prudent and careful, took an ax and attempted to ■ chop down ti e reservoir on n gasoline Move, because some oil had been spilt and caught fire. QUENCHING A GASOLINE EIRE, In the ease of gasoline on fire, unless the t 1 quantity is very large, or the fire is close to 1 something else of a highly itiflamnble na- i ture, it is otten the best way to leave it j * alone. It will quickly burn out and do lit- 1 tic or no harm. It would be well to lock the doors, however, lest some one comes rushing in and does vastly more harm than the burning oil. If the case is one requir- j ing prompt extinguishment of the fire, it , should he accomplished by smothering. It is of little use to throw water upon any con siderable quantity of burning oil. It will he likely to aid in spreading without assist ing to quench it. Water poured outside the line ot flaju-e may serve to prevent the ex tension ot the tire, ns when oii lias been spilled upon a carpet. But smothering is the quickest nnd safest method of quench ing burning oil, and in a residence, some thing which may be used for this purpose can usually be applied quicker than water can be obtained. In smothering the fire care should, of course, he taken not to go at it in a manner to splash the burning oil nil over the room. Articles tlius saturated with oil should, of ! course, he taken at once out of doors, and gasoline remaining on tho floor he allowed to entirely evaporate, with doors and win-- (lows thrown open, before a fire is lighted in the room. If the quantity o( fluid remain ing on the floor is small, it may be disposed of by touching a lighted match to it. Burn ing kerosene should he smothered as quickly as possible, for it will burn longer, blacken the walls more with smoke, and be more likely to set other things afire. THINK Ol THE PROPER THINGS. If people could manage to retain their senses on such occasions, and not become in fatuated with the idea that the lamp<tr stove is about to “explode,” accidents with burn ing oil might usually be got along with without serious results. But the idea of “explosion” “breaks them all up," and an effort is instinctively made to pitch the lump or stove out of the house. A lamp with the flames shooting out of the top may often he safely carried out of doors. Rut if it is ta ken in the lnnd only to bo dashed to the floor, the danger from fire is increased a hundred fold. If a burning lamp bo eur ricJ at one side, instead of directly in front of n person, there will be greatly less liabil ity of the clothing catehirg fire. It may he said that when an accident ot the character here considered occurs, people do not think of the proper things to be done. That is true, but they might think if they would. It' first ot all they would rid them selves utterly ol the idea that ei.hor kero sene or gasoline is “explosive,” and would tl.ink beforehand what should be done in such emergencies, they would ordinarily be able to act with intelligence nr.d prudence, and thus prevent damage, suffering, and perhaps loss of life.—American Artisan. It is worth remembering that nobody en joys the nicest surroundings if in had health. There are miserable people about to-day with one foot in the grave, to whom a bottle of Parker's Tunic would do more good than all the doctors and medicines they have ever used.

An old and innocentdooking mau was waiting at tho Third street depot the other day for a train, and as ho was walking in and out n good deal the police officer on that beat cautioned him to look out for confidence men. “Oh, I know all about confidence men,” was the reply, and that ended the conversa tion for the timo. In about an hour the old man came rush ing up in un excited state of mind, and cried out: “Some infernal skunk has picked my pock et of $22!” “Well, I cautioned you.” “You’re a liar! You told me to look out for confidence men, and never said a word about pickpockets!
