They say the few new switch men engaged tre incompetent and igno rant and that they take their lives in hands when they run a train. Two thirds of the switches have no attend ants whatever. They further assort that trains of fifteen and seventeen cars sent out havs but one trainman, and in case of danger could cot he stopped, l'lie men claim they are thus forced to the wall. It is thought that the men will make this their excuse. Twenty firemen struck this morning, and engin eers ate refusing to run their t-ngiiies with green firemen.

The deck of th ' steamer was too weak to stand the strain ot the great crowd, and a portion of it giving away about 100 of the excursionists came crabbing down on the deck below, and so grea' was the confusion that the men at the wheel seemed to have hwt their heads for the next icsUn. after the crash all control of the boat was lost, and swing ing out of the regular channel, it Etrutk a rock and remained hard and fast on it A panic immediately ensued on. board, A rush was made for the life preservers Women fainted, clothes were torn and all on board were more or lees cut and jruised.

The popular idea of nbsoluto color needs reforming. From tlie fashion iolumn of a leading newspaper I clip two paragraphs one descanting on some very handsome tints of helio trope" which have just appeared, and the other saying that in consequence of the Princess of .Wales having worn a pown"ofa beautiful shafle of golden hilve" this "favorite color" is likely to Income "yet more popular." ovv the tact that a clever writer on fashion topics can gravely talk about "hand- jome ana 'oeautuur arm "favnnio and "popular" colors is in itself a startl ing commentary on the need of an edu cated public taste. How can any color have an aesthetic character of its own ? As regards its value, all color is rela tive. The green that might adorn a man's necktie would not do for his nose. The red that becomes black-eyed Jean makes fair haired Nellie look like a fright The yellow which adds a new charm to Cornelia's rich beauty robs Lillian of all her loveliness. Or take Iwo reds, both of them colors which my friend the fashion writer would call andsome, and put them together in a !'-own; a dentist himself couldn't keep is toeth from grating.
