_THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON. OLD WASHINGTON. The Straggling Streets and Avenues Before the War. ee eee MR.SHEPHERD’S NOBLE WORK He Needs No Other Monument Than the Beautiful City He Created—Pioneer ‘Werk Done by Col. James G. Berret When Mayor. —— Written for Ta EVENING Stam. ASHINGTON, so abused and ridiculed by Dickens and De Bacourt, was suf- fered to remain for a number of years \\ F without any manifest improvement. The vast avenues embraced in the plan of its immortal founder detied the limited means ef the municipal government by their extent, and, as they were wholly or for the most part ‘tuinhabited, they lay like vast fields fallow so far as any improvement was concerned. The plans over which Washington had spent many hours lay in the office of the commissioner of public buildings covered with the dust of nearly ahbalfcentury. The city government had but small means and those were absorbed by the Usual municipal expenses. The city hall was built by money raised in part by ® lottery and Dr. Blake won the capi- ital prize, and was unable. as I have always Understood, to collect the amount. The govern- ment paid no taxes and no part of the city’s expenses, though owning and occupying nearly one-balf of the inhabited portion of the city at that time. The condition of the city remained almost unchanged, except the natural course of improvement, for years. The owners of Property seemed corient to ict the slowly Moving tide of improvement, as sluggish as that which washed the wharves of Lethe, do the work, but offered no encouragement for investment. The first move to raise Washing- ton out of the slough into which it had fallen for lack of enterprise was made seventeen years after the visit of Dickens, whose picture, true then, can find no resemblance now in the Most remote part of the city. THE FIRST MOVE OF IMPROVEMENT. In 1859 Col. James G. Berret, thea mayor of Washington, procured through the friendly disposition of the Hon. Albert G. Brown of Mississippi, chairman of the Senate committce on the District of Columbia, a resolution di- recting an assessment of the government prop- erty in the city. The assessment the mayor and was the first move taining a recognition by the government of its duty to either pay taxes, as other property holders, or to assist in defraying the expenses of the municipal government, formed for its Protection, and the first acknowledgment of the justice of the claim was when. during the official term of Col. Kerret, the police force was organized and half its expense was as- sumed by the general government. That was the entering wedge. At an entertainment given by the “Art Union Association” on th ist of March. 1s Sponse to the toast “Ihe city of Washington,” Col. Berret, as mayor, responded and spoke of “Washington as an artist.” The design over which he labored was so complete in all its parts, so harmonious with the ideas he had of perpetuating in a lovely city the contest, the Struggles and the success of the old thirteen states which formed the confederation. that, as Col. Berret said, only a mind endowed with superhuman foresight could have perfected his magnificent intentions. The soul of the artist shone through the knowledge of the designer, and today the world admits its beauty and its greatness. Col. Berret says: ‘The first leading idea is that its broad avenues are just fifteen in number. corresponding ° to the old thirteen states, with V mont and Kentucky admitted atter the adoption of the Constitution and before the completion of Washington's plan. The second leading feature is that while the streets proper are at right angles, due north and south and east and west, the fifteen avenues run diagon- aily across the city inevery direction and at their junction with each other formed twenty circles or squares of various sizes and fifty tri- angles.” The avenues began with the most northerly, New Hampshire, and in regular order of succession ended with Georgia, then the most southerly. The three avenues, nearly double the length of the others and spanning the city from the northwest to the southeast borders, some four miles in length, are named in the order of the states, Magsachusetts, Penn- sylvania and Virginia, WASHINGTON’S GRAND IDEA. “If I may be allowed to penctrate the thoughts of the great President artist,” said Col. B., ‘‘as he sat brooding over this beautiful conception of his genius and hesitating as to the baptism of the most northern aud .ongest of the avenues his great heart thought of the theater of the first blood shed in deadiy strife— of Lexington, of Concord. of bunker Hill and of Charlestown, where he first assumed the of- fice of commander-in-chief under instructions from Congress to ‘make it his special care that the liverties of Americareceived no detriment,’ and witha hand trembling with emotion he christened it -Massachusetts." Pennsylvania, just midway between the three states, touches the Atlantic and the lakes, thus making it the keystone of the ‘Old Thirteen.” * . . . . . “The third of the long avenues he named most appropriately after his own Virginia. Only one of the twenty spaces at that time, Lafayette Square, was even inclosed. The rest remained in as destitute a condition almost as when Washington's eye first fell upon the Bite.” Col. Berret, in voicing the sentiments of the citizens of Washingto: hom he represented, said “he would make an allusion to one decora- tion already commenced and suspended. I allude to the filling of the pediments of the center and the new wings of the Capitol I learn that figures, some twelve or fifteen in number, to fill the center pediments were pre- pared by the lamented Crawford, symbolizing the material interests and progress of the coun- try, the central and tallest figure being Liberty, with hercap. The pediments of the south and north wings. I am informed, have not been or- dered to be filled. Iventure to make the sug- gestion that an appropriate design for the south one would be the landing of the first emigrants at Jamestown, in Virginia, and for the north one the landing, fourteen years later, of the first emigrants at Plymouth. in Massa- chusetts. What could be more in keeping with the leading idea in the conception of the plan of the city than such a symbolization of the landing of the first emigrants at the south and north, the two joined together, as it were, in the center pediment, and Crawford’s noble types of material progress—the complement of Strength and union—with the crowning token of liberty ‘now and forever.’ ” He added: “If our rulers could for a moment divest themselves of the idea that in gradually decorating these vacant places they are doing anything more than simply carrying to its con- summation the beautiful conception of Wash- ington and in perfect harmony with his leading Patriotic and generous thought. it is hardly Possible to couceive that they would in any aarew Rotion of economy stint the means to a” THE PERIOD OF THE WAR. This speech was printed and circulated through Congress, and did not fall on ears un- willing to hear the suggestions, but already the premonitions of the coming trouble was in the atmosphere, andere the next meeting of Congress the pubiic mind, as represented in Congress, was in no mood to listen to the gentle voice of art pleading for the peaceful embellish- ment of the city designed and founded by him whom Bryon ssid was “—_ The first, the © ‘The suggestions made by Col. Berret of sym- Dolizing the Union were most aptly timed, for only a year or two later this city became the theater of events which led to the devastating war and its terrible loss of life and treasure, and during the sad succeeding years the city wasmore than once threatened with all the dread realities which must have followed its sapture. For the next four years after 1S61 all thought of improvement of streets and avenues was d from the public mind, every every energy was devoted to the Preservation of the Union, and until that was secured the existence of Washington as a capi- tal was held in abeyance. Everything gave place to the contest which faged around us. The large body of soldiers who for a year or two lay within a few miles of ibe city made Washington the depository of a vast amount of all the stores ahd requirements of an army engaged im war. The thousands and thousands of army wagons made sad havoc with our unpaved streets and avenues. The winter's rains and snows transformed ail semblance of streets into quagmures, the reser- rations, which formea so important a feature @ the plans of Washington, were obliterated, many of them being occupied by the troops, tad, as in the case of the public malls and tquares, vast hospitals were erected thereon. THE RUSH OF STRANGERS ‘The presence of some two or three hundred (housand men, whose base of supplies for all their requirements was Washington, brought here hundreds and hundreds of those who <r supply the demand for almost every of human life. Stores grew up like mush- rooms in a night, buildings of all sorts were improvised to serve the occasion. The popu- lation was almost double, and so sudden was this invasion that all the public buildings were utilized to serve the troops, none of whom came provided, aa they were sent to defend the capital in hot haste. This, of course, is an old story, but I aliude to it to show some reason for the delays in making the needed _improve- ments, for which the citizens of Washington were blamed and held — ‘ible. When the war ended and the inst grand dis- play was made here of the review of the armies of the west and the Potomac, a sight never to be forgotten, and the vast armies had melted into the various avocations of life almost as rapidly and as noiselessly a8 snow beneath the sun, Washington presented a very remarkable appearance. The streets, with some few ex- ceptions. were wiped out. The artillery, cav- alry and supply trains had but little respect for embryo sidewalks, squares, circles and tri- angles. They became indistinguishable in the general and universal mud and mire,and the ruts and hollows, many of them vast ravines,which had been left défied repair. The city did all it | could to restore the more important streets to something like what they were intended to be, but in view, however, of the magnitude of the improvement and repairs demanded, the mu- nicipality was almost helpless. Congress did sometbiny, I believe. but it was not until Alex- ander R. Shepherd had been made governor, with almost absolute power, that any attempt was made to lift the city out of the condition in which it had been left at the close of the war. GOV. SHEPHERD'S GREAT WORK. Exbuming the plans of Washington, com- prehending the magnitude of the undertaking, at inspired by the beauty and grandeur of the conception which had its birth in the brain and foresight of the immortal founder, he de- He obtained the means to do so by gaining a recognition by Congress of the | justice’ of the claim that the govern- ment should share with the city the ex- pense of this vast undertaking, and he brought to its accomplishment an mdomitable will and @ courage which overcame every obstacle. The men whom he made rich by the im- provements he carried out were his terest opponents, Abuse, slander, charges of all kinds were heaped upon him, but, undisturbed by the opposition waged unrelent- ingly against him, he continued until he had successfully realized the veauty and stately designs of Washington. His success did not silence his enemies, for they pursued him until Le was almost driven into exile from the city he had beautified, and by the men who were indebted to him for the wea!th his action secured. Charges made against him were in- vestigated by Congress, and as Judge Thurman, who was chairman of the Senate committee of investigation, told me, uvt an iota of evidence implicating Gov. Shepherd in one sing! personal dishonesty had been prod he left here comparatively without a dollar. The millions he had disbursed were accounted for to the last cent, and with clean hands and empty pocket he sought in a foreign land to rebuild the fortauc he had left here. THE GOVERNOK’S VINDICATION, The ycars of absence of Gov. Shepherd from the scene of his labors were vindicating his honor and his wonderful energy and determi- | bation to make the city what Washington had designed it. Every year added to the debt due to the exile, and every tree and flower and grass plot as they grew in beauty aud in fra- grance were vindications of the man who had planted them. Nearly ten years had passed when he returned to meet an ovatjon—an ov ion that came from grateful hearts to a public benefactor. If he had needed a vindication he had itnow. ‘The tidein his favor had grown in these long years into a flood; which over- whelmed the few, the very few. who held back from this testimonial of esteem, the recogni- tiou of a debt due to the founder of a second Washington. At the meeting called to tender this recep- tion Col, James G. Berret, presided, aud in a touchmg address ‘welcomed " Gov. Shepherd to the city he had so beaut so transformed. The Commissioners of the District, in accordance with a well-defined pub- lic sentiment, voted him the freedom of the city, the first time in its aunals it had con- ferred that honor on any individual. If there is a man in Wasaington who does not recognize in this lovely city the debt of gratitude due to Alexander K. Shepherd, I do not know him, thank God. There is talk of exhibiting that gratitude in bronze. He needs no monument other than the daily growing beauty of the squares, the reservations, the streets, the stately vistas which refresh the at every corner. These are mouuments, every one of them, and all growing and expanding with each succeeding rwill keep alive his memory as long as ashington has an existence. . . * * . A RACE FOR A DINNER. In the fall of 1843 another distinguished vis- itor landed on our shores, Gen. Bertrand, one of Napoleon's generals and his companion in exile, and Mr. Willis says, in noticing his ar- rival: “It is curious to note how the memory of our burot fingers with Dickens makes us hold back from the fire of enthusiastic recep- tion. If the general had b anti instead of post Dickens, he would have been overwhelmed with popular acclamation; as it is, two bri- e . gades of artillery as an escort anda din- ner at the Astor have been given him.” And later on he says: “The en- thusiasm over Gen, Bertrand increases” A year or two after the return of the general his son, Count bertrand.spent some time here, taying atthe French legation, and I am re- miuded of a race made up for a dinner, where Count Bertrand rode for Prance. One of the British legation, whose name I cannot remem- ber. rode tor En: ‘ took place a Holm course aud only those interesied and the members of the jockey club remained to see it. Dick Young won the race. How the mention of a name awakes a memory long buried, aud the name of Bertrand recails that event, which was the talk of the day forty-five yearsago. When Gen. Bertrand visited Wash- ington he waa most warmly received. imetan old friend who remembers those days when the Spirit of the Times office in Bar- clay street was the daily resort of those choice spirits mentioned in my article of last week, and he reminds me of another friend, long gone. and whose name is enrolled on the tablet of fame as one of the great portrait painters of the world. Henry Inman, one of the most genial and “loveable men,” as Albert Pike said of him the other day. My old friend remem- bered, too, that character I named, Lord George Gordon, # gentleman. an Oxford graduate, who probably t his country for his country’s good,” and enjoyed an annuity from his family which, whether great or small, only lasted Lord George a few days, and in the intervening time his contributions to the Spirit of the Times sup- plied him with means, My friend relates a characteris him. He met a friend one day, and, with beaming face, said: “I have found what I have sought heretofore in vain on both sides of the Atlantic.” “What is it?” asked bis friend. “A washerwoman with capital. My clothes were brought home this morning and left without payment being demanded. A washerwoman with capital, what a blessing!” At that time Ole Bull was creating a furore in New York. Vieux-Temps and Artot had ap- eared with great success and they, Willis says, jooked down upon Mr. Bull. Artot had been a king's page and Vieux-Temps was a‘chevalier decore’ and Ole Bull was simply Mr. Bull. His style, too, was so different, so unlike anything they heard, but his houses were crowded. Wm. Vincent Wallace was also giving concerts, playing on the pase and violin, and subse- quently joined Ole Bull. What a genius Wal- lace was. His songs will live while music charms,and his operas, particularly ‘‘Maritana,” so full of melody and beauty, will be remem- bered by a!l lovers of music. TOM MOORE IN WASHINGTON. We know where Dickens and Tyrone Power and Samuel Lover and James Sheridan Knowles lived when here, nearly fifty years ago, but only a day or two since the house where ‘Tom Moore stayed while here in 1815-16 was pointed out to me. It is No. 2411 Pennsylvania avenue, It is one of Washington's old houses, and at that time Mr. Merry, the British minister. resided there, and Tom Moore was his guest. The grading of the avenue necessitated its being raised another story, but beyond that it ie but ttle changed. The interior, except the needed repairs during that long period, has been but slightly altered. The huge brass locks, im- ported, of course, and the keys, not much smaller than the key of the bastile at Mount Vernon, testify its age. If Dickens’ picture of Washington 1s recognized by our older citi- zens what must it have been when Tom Moore saw it thirty years before? ‘Squares in mo- rasses. obelisks in trees” were roalities, Moore had been sent in some official capacity to Ber- muda, id we have letters written by my father, who sought health there in 1825, de- scribing in prose what Moore had so beauti- fally bi in verse, Letters also from my father were published in the National I; at that time, when Bermuda was much further from us that it is today. We have long since for- gives Moore his di at us, and he was de- lighted to hear from Mr. Vaux, his songs are sung and his poem recited in almost every home in America. The same may be said of Dickens’ works. In reading of Little Nell and Smike and Squeers we forget his ingratitude and enjoy his creations, ic anecdote of s a his labor | ‘WHAT LITERARY WORK PAID IN THE FORTIES, In 1843 Mr. Willis welcomed the liberality of Louis A. Godey and George R. Graham of Phil- adelphia, whose prices paid for contributions to the Lady's Book and Graham's Magazine Tppe,Up fo that time unheard of. He says: “They pay twelve dollars a re, ant o1 receipt of the manuscript.” - The North Ameri- view had fixed the price at one dollar a pase. and Edward Everett contributed some of is best efforts for that meager sum. Perci- val, Mr. Willis says, was kept from starving by the sale of his great poem. “The Plague,” for five dollars. He (Mr. Willis) received while writing ‘‘Pencilings by the Way” five hundred dollars a year and he subsequently sold the ght for five thousand dollars. itera- ture from that tinre was paid more liberal and it was due to these two gentlemen of Phil- adelphia, who set the example. Jonx F. Corie. a ee oare r DISEASES MADE TO ORDER, A Choice Collection of Horrible Com- plaints Bottled in Tubes. IF YOU LIK YOU CAN HAVE ANYTHING FROM CONSUMPTION TO ERYSIPELAS—THE ARMY MED- ICAL MUSEUM KEEPS A COMPLETE SET OF DISEASES IN STOCK—PROPAGATING GERMS. N the Army Medical Museum there is at present a bottied stock most admirably com- plete of nearly all the dis- eases which are apt to be fatal to human life. If one cares to indulge in any of these luxuries there are on hand in quantities to suit consumption, pneumonia, ty- phoid fever, diphtheria, Asiatic cholera, blood poison- ing, erysipelas, carbuncle and numerous other similarly cheerful complaints, The Army Medical Museum keeps these morbid affections in tubes so constantly ready for immediate communication to healthy individuals that the curator in charge of the lab- oratory was kind enough to say yesterday that it desired he could give them all to Tus Stan writer within a few moments. Of course it was a temptation, It is a luxury to be sympathized with when one is a sufferer, but only think of the amount of delightful commiveration one would receive if one were a galloping consumptive, in the last stages of pneumonia, «fll d with typhoid, taken down with diphtheria,complicated with blood poison- ing, inoculated with earbuncle and attacked by Asiatic cholera, with blood poisoning set in to discourage the physician, BREATHING GERMS, The curator added that he really would bo able to do this at no serious loss or expense, in- asmuch as there was enough cousumption in the consumption bottie to communicate the complaint to many thousands of peopie. and it was the same way with all the other diseases he had on hand. In administering pneumonia to nt, so he said, he would select by prefer- the method of putting a solution of the ma in Water in a spraying vessel and having the vietim breathe the spray. ‘The subject operated upon would contract the affection with absolate certainty every time. Pnenmonia, by the way, is contracted not from a cold or in- flammation of the lungs, as people ordinarily suppose, but from the breathing in of pneu- monia germs, which are given encouragement in growing and multiplying by an unhealthy condition such as # cold may give rise to. The mouths of altogether healthy people very com- monly have iots of pneumoni acteria in them. The disease signifies simply that the air cells inthe lungs are ruptured and blood Hows into them, thus rendering them useless for breathing, CATCHING A CARBUNCLE, As for that interesting and commonly fatal complaint, carbuncle, the curator said that he could produce it any time in the most healthy individual by a simple inoculation with a solu- tion of the germs. Once so inoculated you have about an even chance with death, This is very commonly called “wool-sorters’ dive becatise men who sort wool are very apt to tract it, Sheep are frequently aiflicted with carbuncle and the slightest abrasion on the hand of one who touches the fleece of an ani- mal 80 diseased is likely to communicate it, Spraying the throat with a solution of the proper germs is the proper metiod also for conveying diphtheria, which can be given in this way with absolute certainty, Then it is a question of i nt by artificial means from y false membrane that rapidiy grows and tries to fill up the breathing passage. ASIATIC CHOLERA, There is no great difficulty in contracting Asiatic cholera if you want it. Take a few of the germs from the appropriate bottle at the museum and drink them in water or beef tea. If your stomach is in a particularly healthy condition you may not take the disease, but otherwise you are pretty sure to have it,’ An assistant in the laboratory of the famous Prof, Koch once swallowed by accident a lot of germs of Asiatic cholera, with which experi- ments were being made,and developed what the professor dclightedly called a typical, ease. le recovered by a narrow scrape. Tuberzu- losis and blood poisoning. by the way, can be given every time artificially by hypodermic in- jections of the germs in beef tea. Erysipelas is easy cnough to communicate by rubbing the germs upon the skin, and all sorta of other complaints, such ag relapsing fever, like- wise in various simple ways, ’ Even consumption of the lungs, which kills one out of seven of ali the people in the world who die, can be propagated readily enough by arti- fice, supposing favorable conditions to be pres- enutin the patient, We ail breathe consump- tion germs frequently—perhaps every day— but healthy tissue resists them, When these microscopic rod-shaped bacteria find a congen- jal spot to plant theinselves in they grow and multiply, forming about themselves accumula- tions of dead flesh, which are called ‘“tuber- cles.” When the air cells of the lungs have become sufficiently filled up with these accu- mulations the victim dies. The germs of lep- rosy and yellow fever have not yet been suc- cessfully isolated, HOW GERMS ARE OBTAINED, The diseases which the government keeps thus bottled in convenient form are all ob- tained—the germs, that is to say—from actual diseased tissues of, patients§afilicted with the complaints, To propagate the germe in any quantity from these tissues is easy enough. Vegetable gelatine, from a Japanese plant called “agar-agar," is boiled and mixed with beef tea, so as to form a soft, transparent solid. A small quantity of this is put into a tube th: is tightly corked with cotton at the open end. ‘The tube is then placed in an oven and heated until all the germs in it, of whatever sort, are killed, Next the tube is briefly uncorked and « long steel wire, that has been heated also to sterilize it, is dipped in the germs of the dis- ease which it is desired to cultivate and seraped across the surface of the gelatine. The tube is now recorked and permitted to stand for afew hours, at the end of which the bacteria of the disease, having found the —— to their taste for feeding upon, will ave multiplied enormously, go as to fairly cover the surface of the gelatine. Each kind of bacteria or germs has its own form of grow- ing in colonies, so that one disase can bo readily distinguished from another in the tubes without a microscope. All diseases, you see, are caused by poisonous bacteria, but most bacteria are of the most important use- fulness in the world, performing an essentiul part in the operations whereby human tissues ure renewed and kept healthy. The mouth and throat are always full of bacteria and the skin covered with them; they are in the air and everywhere. When you see a stale fish appear luminons in ‘the dark it is because multitudes of bacteria are feeding upon it as scavengers. In old times the couse- crated wafers placed over night by the priests in churches were occasionally found in the morning covered with bright red drops or clots of what looked like blood. Very naturally this was taken for @ miracle and a portent. The number of lives sacrificed and homes destroyed in consequence of this supposed prodigy of the bleeding host history can tell. Today the chemists cultivate in tubes at will the tiny bac- teria which, growing in masses on bread or other food substances, made the drops of blood. ‘This bacterium has been suitably named the “bacillus prodigiosus.” . The knowledge gained by the experiments of the bacteriologists has already been of incal- culable usefulness in the saving of life. To them is due the adoption of antiseptic methods in surgical practice. When an operation is made with the knife the wound is kept clean of bacteria by washing or spraying with solutions that kill them, so that they cannot keep it from healing. It is these germs that form what is called “pus.” Until within a very few years mine out of ten of every operation that ren- dered necessary acytting through the wall of the abdomen were of fatal result; now, thanks to tho antiseptic treatment, the thing is reversed and nine out of ten cases recover. eee The poet and the editor were playing tennis and the latter was beaten.‘ ¥ - ca D.

Fancy Articles for the Holiday Season May Now be Obtained Cheap—Sofa Pillows and Their New Styles—Varte- es of Chair C: Written for Tie Evextno Stan. O ANY ONE who has lived in Washington for the past ten or fifteen years the ‘bange for the better in shopping facili- ties 18 one of the most noticeable and one of the most appreciated. Whenever anything tall out of the most ordinary line of pur- chases was wanted some years ago it must be ordered from Baltimore, Philadelphia or New York, and all the consequent inconvenience in- curred, Spring und autumn what a trouble- some thing the sending for samples was when new gowns were in order and selecting and buying in that way; still it was what most peo- ple hero did, unless they paid a visit to other cities in order to make their own selections. This kind of shopping would answer in dry goods, but when the case was’ house furnishing it was not so easy to get it by sample and the housekeeper suffered accordingly by having a very limited choice as to purchases made here in the city, A SHOPPING TOUR THIS AUTUMN, Unless our list is too long to leave any time for reflection or to note contrasts, impresses one with the improvement and growth of Washington and the skill with which public taste is catered to. In every line of goods there are variety and quantity, and anybody who cannot be suited with what is offered on all sides must be over dious and hard to please if she cannot supply her wants in her own city. Setting aside the ‘substantials of living I will Rotice some of the pretty things of the lesser sort which may be found in our Washington shops and cailto mind as well the swift ap- proaching hohdays, so that by paraphrasing the proverb “A stitch in time” to a purchase in time one may be accumulating a store of “goodies” early in the di Never were sofa pillows prettier or more in demand, judging by the supply offered in so many of our stores, While there are many in hand-emproidered covers, the majority. are covered with silk, both pluin and figured. A silk square of the right size for a pillow comes this year with border and center design, all in soft cashmere coloring that is very good, For the front of the pillow to have one of these squares with the back of plain silk makes a variety and is quite new. Fawn and ecru are the tones of most of the grounds, so they will suit and harmonize with almost’ any style of furnishing. Never were the China silks so attractive in design and coloring as this year, and t uses aro almost endless, In ‘dark and light ades the choice is equally varied. Browns in different shading and patterns are more seen than ever before, and some of the prettiest silks are in these tones. ’ JAPANESE COTTON CREPE. Another material which is newer than silk is used on many pillows with the loveliest re- sults, This is the Japanese cotton crepe with gold stamped designs. White and gold make the most delicate-looking pillows, but it does not soil as easily as might be expected. Pale pink and soft gray-blue are most attractive, while darker and more serviceable coloring is in tho same material. This gold-stamped crepe is $1.25 a yard, while much the same shades in the plain crepe can be bought for 30 centsa yard. It isa charming material for many purposes, and in Christmas work will doubtless be suitable for many things. The excellent cotton crepe with white ground and dark blue design well covering it is very good tor pillows where the shade of blue suits a room, The pillows are large for the most part, with plain soams on the edges, unorna, mented by cord or trimming of any kind, with the corners generally turned in, and either the puckers showing or a rosette of the same material as the cover added asa finish, Some beautiful embroidered pillows are shown in oriental work, both in elaborate nd slight designs, but always artistic and pleasing in coloring. A hand-embroidered pil- low—not of eastern workmanship, howcver— was a tone of old pink crepe for the front, with goid thread put up and down in three stripes, one in the middie and one each side, each stripe made of three threads put on a single thread at atime and crossing and recrossing each other in a zigzag fashion. ‘The stripes are very narrow, and this is all the ornamentation except the corner rosettes, Tho back is cov- ered with plain silk and the pillow is quite pleasing asa whole though so quict in tone. Some one suggested it ought to be used in a “colonial” room, as the fine gilt lines would suit with the delicate decoration of that style. Some pillows have puffs of silk set in in fancy designs with much-worked panels adjoining, but a plainer covering is more effective than this elaboration and preferred by most people. STYLES OF CHAIR CUSHIONS, Chair cushions areas numerous as the sofa pillows, and some little change of slape and style is noticeable, Three-cornered double pillows are covered with China silk in very dainty colors and fastened together by ribbons in pretty effect. These double pillows are so convenient to throw over the back of any chair that they have justly earned their popularity. Round pillows ior chairs are bound about with a braid of sweet grass, which can be bought by the yard if one wishes for using in similar Fifty cents is the price per yard, which ough to ornament several articles, PRETTY SHAPED BASKETS, Baskets are on all sides, of the prettiest imag- inable shapes and decorated in all sorts of fascinating ways. Gold thread is made to do service in tricking out the array of fancy baskets, and it adds much to their pretty looks. One or two threads are taken at once and laced in and out or twined around in a way to be held securely, wheu it glitters aud makes its pres- | ence known, as even a little bitcan do, China silk of a plain color is sometimes covered with gold thread in lines an inch apart and is then made up into the shirred bag ep te the baskots for bonbons or work or a dozen other uses, The exquisite ribbons put on the larger baskets are in large bows or run in, or arranged in several fanciful ways, all pretty and taking and likely to make favorite Christ mas gifts. ODDMENT#' IN SILVER. The array of what the English call “‘odd- ments” in silver is fairly bewildering. Pho- tograph frames are in every shape and size, square, oval and heart-shaped, and are very pretty in the many designs. All kinds of toilet articles are in silver, ofseourse, and most at- tractive, while the unbreakableness is an ad- vantage over fragile china, All kinds of brushes are silver handled, and nothing looks more luxurious than to see in addition to hair brushes that the clothes, tooth and nail brushes are also with silver handles, so that the toilet outfit is complete in that line. A look at the jewelers ia sufficient to make every one long Tor some of the beauties displayed to the best advantage to enhance their charms. Each year it seems easier to carry out one’s own ideas in house furnishing, for it is not so difti- cult to find now what one needs in the well- stocked establishments in town, lankets are now to be found in such lovely coloring and delightful qualities that they may be looked upon as a pleasure to both the sense of seeing and of feeling.

There are several le: 80, that wide and narrow windows can be accom: modated, and rod and fixtures included are twenty-five cents, about the same price as the ones we have used for @ years, but they are much ter convenience and simp! sash curtain ging.

From the San Francisco Examiner, After a slow and wearisome climb, and as it began to grow dusk, our team, tired and dusty. drove into Camp Sequoia. The flume extends from the high snow line in the Sierras to the plains, fifty-two miles distant. It is built of inch and quarter planks, and at the start, where the grade is steepest, is forty-three inches across the top. This width is increased, however, when the decrease inthe grade ne- cessitates a larger volume of water to float the lumber, and at the lower end reaches an ex- treme width of sixty-fourinches. At each {n- crease in the size of the flume more water must be added to the stream. The first head of water comes from Lake Sequoia and the er ae is augmented by small streams at four different placcs between the mill and King’s river. To preserve a fairly regular grade in constructing this flume enormously high trestles were found necessary to carry the flumes across canons, chasms and around sharp spuré of mountains, ‘The first twenty-seven miles built took over 5,000,000 feet of lumber to construct, and most of this lumber bad to be packed on the shoul- ders of men. It has taken about 9,000,000 feet of lumber, all told, to complete the flume. But to return to the head of the flume, around which our little party of four was clustered, our spirits droppiug as rapidly as the mercury during a cold snap, and our hearts secking the seclusion of our boots, Coming down a flume when you are at the bottom and look up is a very different proposition to going down a flume when you are at the top and look down. Stories of former trips that resulted most disastrously flashed throngh our minds. If it had not been for the crowd of onlookers that stood around ready to cheer if we started, or jeer if we didn’t, we would have backed out, one and all, There was uo help for it, and with @ last despairing look at the beautiful bright world around us that we were leaving— erhaps forever—we solemnly climbed into the fume boat and shook hands sadly with those that were not goii The boat that was to carry us down the flume resembles nothing so much as a hog trough with one end missing. ‘The flume being built V-shape and ata right angle, the boat is con- structed likewise, but at what would be the bow end of an ordinary boat there is no end at all, it being purposely left open in order to provide means for the water that backs up into the boat to escape. On examination we found our boat to be I feet long with a 14nch plank running the iength of the boat, thus making a false bottom, to raise us from reach of the water, On this plank rested four smail wooden stools, oné tor each of the party. After taking seats, with many misgivings and balancing ourselves, the order to cast off was given, the spikes holding our frail craft to the flume side were pulled out and our craft shot on witb the current on its journey to the plains, The sensation was exactly as if the bottom had dropped out of the universe and we had dropped with it, “Watch out!” yelled the man in front, throw- ing himself back on the man behind him. it was just in time. The sudden shock threw us all flat on our backs and the boat “zipped” undera projecting beam that would have de- capitated the whole outfit. Cautiously regain- ing an upright position we took a look at the scenery uround us, As far ahead as one could see stretched the flume, looking a thin, spidery thread stretching down the mountain side. Qn either side gloomy rocks and forest trees flashed past in an indistinguishable blur when the flume lay near the ground, but when it rose on trestles to cross some canon or ravine we seemed spended, like Mohammed's coffin “twixt heaven and earth,” In the meantime four speed had been in- creasing. Not a member of the party spoke. a word, butin dumb amazement held a firm grip to the seat, Our boat had proceeded but half a mile when immediately before us could be seen what we subsequently learned to be one of the steepest inclines of the whole course of the flume—a drop of 250 yards, with a grade of 1,200 feet to the mile. It was but a few mo- ments when our boat was at the head of this incline. Pieces of timber could be seen on the mountain side below us, these pieces having been hurled out of the flume during their course, The sight was not very assuring to us, but there was no such thing as stopping or turning back at this stage of the journey. Holding our respective breaths and offering mental prayers for our own safety, we con- signed ourselves to our fate. The boat stopped for an instant at the head of the chute, pitched over the curve and shot out into what seemed to be mere space, A dim perception of fleeing forests, dashing wildly past a wall of rocks for a few’ seconds, the noisy wash of the waters behind us, after all of which we found ourselves at the bottom of the incline trying to regain our breath, It was short, and luckily, too. Human nerve: could hardly have stood the strain much longer. Going on at a slightly reduced rate of speed, we were treated to a constant change of mountain scenery, now closely bugging the erpendicular wall of the rocky gorge, again Boing swept around the sharp point of a moun- tain on our way across wide canons, up as high as 130 fect, with only the knowledge of the frail trestlework between us and—what? No grander view of the lower Sierras could be experienced than that which we had as we swept on through space. The aiternating views of deep gorges, high cliffs, timber clad moun- tain heights, combined with the novel means of transportation, robbed the journey of all weariness. Finally we reached King’s river, and our course now lay parallel with the stream and at about the same grade. Our boat proceeded steadily, but with none of the occasional ra- pidity wo had experienced in the higher mountains left behind, After having “flamed” about tenty-seven miles we came to the sus- pension bridge across King’s river. But even fifty-two miles of flume come to an end at last, and the speed becoming tame and slow in comparison with the early part of the trip, with the aid of several men at work “herding” on the flume our frail craft was safely brought to @ standstill, and we climbed out on the trestle and stretched our cramped legs A few moe ments later, with the aid of a thirty-foot ladder, bey ean terra firma, our strange cruise ende ee ee At the Chrysanthemum Show.
