"Ned" did not think he was naheroic act in swinging his er're petticoat to stop a train.1 .e four score passengers re9iized - hen, with blauched feces, .they edisaster they had escaped. The train which "Ned" Anth< ved was made up of cars of the 3 ,o.. and nqebnnna Rairoad. was on a branch line, running from Blairstown,N. y., to Delaware. The line is built along the mountain sidej and there is a sheer fall of nearly a hundred fcet to the Delaware River at the point where the boy flagged the train. Among thepassengerswere the Cen tenary Collegiate Institute football team, from Hackettstown, which had been to Blairstown to playa game with the Blair Hall team. The lads were singing and dancing in the baggage car, when the train stopped so sud denly that they were piled up in a heap in one end of the car. The pas sengers jumped through doors and wintlows, and by the side of the trazk they found a ten-year-old boy with a red petticoat. He had flagged the t rain: There was no need of questioning the boy. Not twenty-five yards in front of the engine lay a great rock on the rails, weighing probably two tons, which had tumbled down from the mountain. Owing to the curve, the engine driver could not have seen the obstruction in time to stop the train, which would have gone crashing down into the river, a hundred feet below. Every one ran forward to view the obstruction and help remove it. The football team thought it would be an easy thing to tackle, but it required tne strength of four men bestdes the team to roll the rock off the rail. Some one suggested a subscription for the boy, and a shower of silver and I bank notes fell into the hat, but the boy could not be seen. Finally he was found hiding on the tender of the en gine. He was too modest to listen to the praises that were heaped upon him. It was only after considerable persuasion that he couldbeiuduced to take the money. 3 With breathiless.inte:rest the passen gers listened to the boy's story. He t said he lived in the valley, and was strolling along the railroadtrack, when > suddenly he heard a great crash. Run ning around the curve, he saw that a I big rock had fallen t track. There were only t3. trains a day on I the road, and he knew that one would e soon be due.

No more black umbrellas. The I umbrella must match the costume, for the winter. If you wear a dark red cloth suit, you must carry a dark red silk umbrella to match; and dark blue, dark green, and even-shaded umbrellas to match costumes are be- I ing made for the winter season. Al ready some of the best tailors in town are receiving orders for umbrellas to match costumes. Ordered in this way, they are naturally very expen sive. Thrifty women who want to follow the new fad will purchase silk to match their tailor suits, take it, with the frame of an old umbrella, to a local umbrella or parasol maker, and, for a comparatively small sum of ;money, kesp in the rapidly moving jvani of fashion. It should be borne in mind that the fad is for, a storm I umbrella, not a parasol, to match the sit. Thxis Senson's Style in Corsets. eThere is a change in the style of this season's corset. From the ribbon e ,irdle and short French corsets which -have beecn in vogue for the past few months we are to change to the high-1 bust and long-waist aKairs-the Eg h lish style being the order of the day, i while the size of the waist is to un 1 dergo no change. e IFor several seasons the demand for I. a corset which would allow women to enoy, as well as participate in, the outdoor sports, by giving them more i room for breathing purposes just above L- and about the waist, has been inces sat, and as a result, though the co: 7 set remains as popular as ever, certain i changes have been instituted ini its imae-up which are entirely beneticial and have made the old-fashioned, t heavily boned corset a thing of the r past. SFirst, French cambric, satin, silk "and doeskin have entirely saperseded cautille, which was generally consid d ered the ideal maa erial for co:-sets,. and~ is as far as wear is concerned. but is *e now thouret to i-e far too sti~i and heavy. Another change is the de * crease in the number of bones em 3poyed. As they are now adea the 0 corsets are boned only i:a the back an -front, the under--arm line2 being omit n ted. That the size of th' wzist is not ilessened by this style r co:set sems a to make no appnarent difference, an ,. the oninion is that after they have a once been worn they will not ba r linquished without a strag;le. 0To the stout woman a corset is an iiabsolute necessity, and to the siende, when it serves as a support for the bust and helps to carry the weight o -the c!othes, it is in ma~ny cases inuis a pensable.-American Quteen. A niivsician of courvtly old-school emanners use:d to give prescriptions as marked respecctively for eari.v bedtime d and for late bedtime. A- discussion arose the other. dacly between several refriends as to what constituted early dd and what late bedti;ne. Some of the ladies mai:ained that ten o'clock was the limit between the two, others nu -thought thant cariy bedtime lasted un ee til elevcu, and a fewv who believed in - b-aut.y sleep pleadted that early bed e ie cbegan al ei-;ht andi ended at half 3,past nine o'c.ock.
