Some society women entry little lozenges containing strychnine in their bonbonnlores. While It is understood that two of them will send a girl to kingdom come , one is u sura tonic with the bracing effect of o gin cock tail.

At last there Is something new for idle hands to do poker work. The revival of the ancient art of burnt-wood engraving , better known as poker work , the decorative and nr- tlstie effects which may bo produced by this simple treatment of wood , has led to the in vention of a portable machine , not unlike the photographer's outfit , requisite for the prac tice of thtii fascinating art In the citso is a spirit lamp , bcnzoline bottle and minor Im plements , together with printed Instructions so lucidly set forth that the merest tyro In the nrt can begin utonco to make preliminary studies in burnt-wood engraving. Flower toques are bcginnlngto pall. After five or six wearings and half as many rain drops these multlpctalous affairs take on the appearance of n raised pie of violets' daisies. For all-round weather there Is noth ing in the line of summer millinery to beat straw. All the smart women of Paris have taken to wearing black hats by order of the Parisienno who is sovereign in la mode. This will do well enough for tall ladles , but the ebony shade is heavy und has a compressing effect that tends to weigh down u short woman. Black is prime us a shoo or glove. It has a diminishing cffct as n stocking or dress , but it is disastrous against the faco. The tailor-mado girl becomes moro mascu line in nttiro every season. Just now the fancy runs to a suit of rough homespun or gray tweed , innocent of trimming , and de pending for its characteristic smartness on the cut nnd fit. The bodice is made habit fashion , -with a little tall picco nnd a step-col lar showing n dandy lookinu xvhito Marseilles tie , pierced by a diamond pin , while tlio shirt is lilted to tlio llguro witlr no fullness or folds either in front or nt the side , but with .a few plaits spreading out in graceful fan-like form at the back , giving spring to the short little tails of the basque. The popularity of this tailor-mado dress Is' due in a measure to its cxi'luslvenoss. for there is not a woman out side of the tailoring profession who can cut , fit and press a suit of this kind.

RUN ON STRICT BUSINESS PRINCIPLES , A Municipality -Kvcry Department of which If * Cdnduutcd In the Interest ofil o Cltl/.cus An Ideal Mayor. Attention has boon called to the youth of BlnnlnjjliHm In its rotation us the bo3t-govonie < city. There nro many wurin ndmlrors of Mr. Joseph Clmmborluin who nssociato his name and enterprise with the city's now birth. It 19 only measurably fair to do this , but certainly ho deserves great credit for many important reforms and accomp lishments , writes Julian Ralph In Harper's Mtiga'/.lno for Juno. Ills tip- pcaranco in public-life in Birmingham , bomo time before ho was mayor , was the occasion for the awakening of the best men of the town to an interest in the local government. The tavern coterie , that had taken it too'.forward part before that , now lost Its influence. This was in 1871 ; Mr. Chamberlain , then in business as a manufacturer of wood screws , en tered public life unostentatiously , but was soon elected mayor , and Borvod three terms in-that ofllco. Under his bold and nfolo administration the water works and gas works were made public property , the health department was more than modernized , and the improvement scheme , which will bo ex plained further'on , -was Insti tuted. But first us to the gas experi ment. Birmingham is the homo of the invention of gas-lighting , but the town did not adopt the system until 1817 , after London had done so. In time two.com panies came to supply the city. It was in 1874 that Mayor Chamberlain moved the purchase of these corporations. The taxpayers voted for the scheme in the same year , and the necessary parlia mentary statute was enacted In July , 1875. In the same year the check of the then borough of Birmingham , drawn for -150,000 ( $ U,2oO,000) ) , was paid to the Birmingham company for its property and rights ; and in January , 1870 , the sum of , C1 < ) ; ! ,8-15 ( $519,22" ) ) was paid to the Staffordshire company for its interests. The systemization of the now undertak ing was more or less complicated and costly , but all that.Us necessary to bo stated hero is thataH a result , the price of gas has been materially reduced to corporation of tho-city and its citizens , and the investment returns an annual profit of more than $150,000. The price of the commodity In-.1875 was 3 shillings to ! U shillings per 1,000 feet , but in 1884 it had been reduced-to 2 shillings and 1 penny and 2 shillings and 5 ponce per 1,000 foot. Vivo per cent discount is al lowed for prompt payjnent. The oflioials claim to have shown by an exceptional illumination near th'o main public build ings that gas , uscdat , its full strength , is capable of connoting with the electric light. , .U heir demonstra tion would not j. , . , satisfy a resi dent of an olectpic-lighted Amer ican city , however. ' It must bo re membered that Birmingham has tho. nat ural pride of thoVbirthplaco of gas- llghtine : , and that the corporation is the owner of its gas-plant , so that it is not an unbiased judge of the compara tive qualities of the two systems of lighting. For more than thirty years the public ownership of the water supply of the city had been proposed and hold in abeyance. In 187-1 Mayor Chamberlain moyed the transfer by agreement , of the compulsory purchase of the waterworks , then in private hands. Both town and council were convinced by his argu ments , and voted accordingly. During the discussion Mr. Chamberlain urged that whereas there should bo a profit on the undertaking , there should bo none on that of the water supply , as all profit should go toward a reduction of the price. The water company fought hard against having to sell out , for their property was of great and increasing vnluo. Before the house of commons , in the argument over the necessary bill , the light was bitter , but it was won by the high-minded policy of Mr. Chamberlain borlain in urging that the city's only profit should bo in the health of its pee ple. The bill received the royal assent on August 2,1875. The dicker over the sale was a cl'oso one , but It' was finally agreed to give the wa ter company jEo-1,491 annually. The town council at once assumed control of the worksnnd has continually enlarged and improved the plant. The profits , which are handsome , arc applied to the improvement of the supply and tlin nuliirttimi nf the cost to cnnsnmoi's. Up to 1881 the annual reduction in water rents had amounted to JEL'o.SH 1. The improvement scheme undertaken by the city under Mr. Chamberlain and the town council in 1875 will long bo pointed to as one of the most stupendous , courageousand wise acts over performed by a municipality. Taking advantage of an imperial statute called "The Arti sans' Dwelling Act , " giving largo towns and cities thorighttoimprovo unhealthy areas , the council improved several highways , and finally bought up a great tract of slums and narrow passages in the heart of the city , and there laid out that now beautiful avenue called Cor poration street , which Is one of the hand somest streets to bo seen In any city in any part of the gtolw , The squalor and crowding had been feuVful.and the death rate outrageous ; vice , , crime poverty and drunkenness lloui'Mil'd ' there , and the saloonkeepers wore Ino only persons who led endurable lives , A loan of JCI.GUO- 000 was obtained at.jjrporeont for thirty years , the proportyj yis purchased , the great street , twonty-tvyo , yards wide , was laid out , and the nrw was rebuilt on leasesrunnlngsovontvillvoyears. Suiter- vision was maintained over the character , cost and design , of.iho now buildings , with the result thnUin the principal street at least all arft1 Htatoly , ' substan tial and oven dlbpnnt. Of course at the end of the Ib/wos / they will become - como the property < fsJ10 ( city. "This , " said Mr. Chambering "will make this the richest borough ( , thekingdom sixty or seventy years liuntso. It is the only occasion for which I wjsh to live buyond the ordinary term of human life , in order to see the result of this improvement , and hear the blessings which will then bo showered upon the council of 1875 , which hud the courage to inaugurate this hohomo. " But the stranger sees the result now , and , if ho will , ho may read it in the. sanitary reports , which show that the doath-rato is today less than one-half what it was before the renova tion was mado. Again , under Mayor Chamberlain , in 1870 , the. drainage and sewage systems were overhauled. A union was formed with the towns'oloso around Birming ham , under n board in which the city elects twelve out of twenty-two mom- ben ) . The united district comprlbos 17,275 acres , and tin aggregate popula tion of GO.P,5'J1 ' souls. Iloro had boon a more or less compact population served by uuturo with only u little dvor , the Tame , and mainly putting up with old fashioned methods and conditions. Today what has been done is pointed teas as the best solution of the sowngo prol > - 1cm in England. The drainage bean ! npw innnnges a so-called farm of 1,20 ( acres in the Tame valley. The sewage is convoyed thither through an eight- foot conduit' , and is passed through the land by an extensive filtration by grav ity , after which the diluent roaches the Tame river near by In the condition of perfectly pure water. The sludge ro- mainihg after the disposal of the nuid Is dug into the land. The cost of the farm and appurtenances was about jC-100,000 , and , roughly speaking , It costs JCo 1,218 a year to operate it. But the meat , milk , and vegetables grown on the farm and sold from It realize nearly 2-5,000. It Is insisted that in time the system will yield enough to pay its cost. In dealing with this problem the authorities separate the nigt-soil and nshoS from the sowago. The night-soil id controHod by what is called the pan fiystom mOlal pans , capacious enough for. n iivbok'fl usage , being periodically carted away in'closed wagons , which also remove the ushea collected in a tub in each yard. The 'wagons are not offen sive , and the depositing station presents a view of flowers and of shrubbery out side Its enclosure. Hero the night-soil is dried and sold as poudretto or patent manure. There Is u profit of a'fowpenco on the ton In this branch of the work. The ashes nro sorted by a contractor , who takes out whatever is of value. The rest is molted in furnaces and made into a coarse material , partly vitreous and partly metal , which is used to fill hollows , or , when mixed with Portland cement , makes a good paving slab. The drainage board in charge has borrowing powers and rating ( or taxing ) powers for tlio payment of Interest and the re payment of loans. For taxing , it serves precepts upon the authorities of the different localities in the union , ac cording to the number of rate-payers or tenements. Creditable Display o ( Work of the Stu dents ol'tho City SolioolH. Tomorrow the exhibit of the work of the pupils of the Omaha public schools will bo opened In rooms lOti , 107,103,109 and 110 of Tire BKB building. AH day yesterday scores of busy flngcrs were preparing for the dis play , and when the work was finished the tired teachers mid others who had been en- K ! > KCil hi it could not but foci as they looked over the result of the labors that they had done well and that the exhibit had been ar- rmifred to the best possible advantage. The walls of tlio live largo rooms are com pletely covered witli the work of the young students , und ono cannot refrain , when ho enters the upurtmcnts , from uti cxeliimutlon of surprise at the immense amount of well executed work these young people have suc ceeded in accomplishing. Upon tlio tables devoted to tlio handiwork of the pupils of the muuunl school are ex amples of work that would bp highly crcdit- alilo to an experienced worker in wood. The exhibits on this table are very varied In their character. There are diminutive inlaid tables , neatly joined chests , spheres , triangles , squares , cups and bits of fancy work of all kinds. There wore a number of pieces in this col lection which attracted particular attention. Probably tlio best picco ot work from the manual department is an inlaid square in cedar , holly and walnut , very carefully joined and highly polished. Kither through modesty or carelessness no name has been at tached to the piece. James Page has a num ber of well made walnut boxes on exhibition , and an inlaid table made by Frank Selby de serves especial mention. The drawings exhibited by the pupils of the high school are exceptionally good , as are , in fact , these displayed by all the schools. But the high school work In this direction certainly deserves the higlica com mendation' , as it has all been carefully done , and oven lu instances where real talent evidently docs not exist , the patient porsorveranco of the pupil has brought forth highly creditable work. In this collection of drawings those pieces will attract immediate attention : A glue pot , can and Jug , by Ulara Edholin. of the ninth grade ; shoes and hat , Nettie Smiley , tenth grade ; cocoanut shells , Anna Hungatc , eleventh grade. These were all drawn from objects and certainly in each case the artist has ex hibited exceptional talent for young people not yet out of school. A drawing of a bracket and wreath by Emma Edholm und of u well by Uobert Lewis , both of the Long school , goblets and water pitcher by Archie Pratt , a skate and hat by ( Jeorgio Nickell , a table and lounge by Jenny Derrv will readily attract attention. Then there is a free-hand drawing , a valise , umbrella anil pair of slippers by IJertio Wood , of a ball , by George Ferrell and of a lunch basket by Louise Salman that nro very good. The piece do resistance , however , among the drawings is a tea sot in charcoal by Flora Kosters of the sixth grade of the Park school. In this picco the young lady has given evi dence of artistic talent of a really high order. In the way of novelty work a representa tion of a southern negro shanty , mudo out of toothpicks , by Carl Larson , is meritorious , and a lot of scroll work in the Mason school exhibit , to which no name was attached yes terday , Is ono of the best things in the dis play. The kindergarten work is very good , especially that from the Farnam school , con sisting of copies of nuts and fruits in clay. The live rooms are fully occupied by the exhibit. In addition to the work named there nro hundreds of pieces of work , none of whichjrollect anything but credit upon their authors or makers. The exhibit will open at 10 o'clock Monday inoniinvr and will remain open every dav anil evening throughout the week. Tlio Colored Jlen'H Association.
