Lookiolul for Cider. If there is one local product having more natural fame than another, it is Jersey cider._ Away back in revolution- ary days Jersey cider had a reputation, and although many rivals have tried to demonstrate their superiority, the at- tempts have resulted in ignominious failure. As a far-reaching and un- rivaled production of American inge- nuity, the cider manufactured 'in J er- sey stands alone and unapproachable. . Clifton, N. J., has a fire department. The majority. of its citizens are business men. who- spend their days in New York, and seeing the daily displays of the N<._=w York fire lad dies, - they were in; Ed ired with the idea of having a fire department in Clifton. They organized one, and all Clifton rejo1ced therein. A truck that had seen service in Pas- saic, near by, was purchased, and a re- ception for the same was gotten up. As the members of the CliftOn fire de- partment spent their days in .New York, their wives practiced with the machine, and they got up the recep- tion.

The more precise ofcthe guests, and also members of the fire company who had not partaken of the elder, had been unable toaccount for the excessive hil- arity attending the feast. It was in- comprehensible thatcider should induce such a degree‘of constantly increasing enthusiasm as was manifested during the progress of the banquet, and the conservative element participating in the function were naturally alarmed at the conviviality displayed by the guests and- a few of the elect.

In Paris fur is being slightly gather- ed into deep frills and fiounces and placed on the hems of heavy winter gowns, cloth capes and wraps. The ef- fect is novel and pleasing. Otter, beaver and gray astrakan are among the fashionable furs, and grebe is also being much used, though it has been out of favor for several years. V The Fire Lassies 01' Swmler. At the jubilee festivities of King 0s- rar of Sweden and Norway one of the features that appeared most to interest "aim was the exhibition of the female fire brigade of Koenissen. There are one hundred and fifty of these young women, from twenty to thirty years 31d, directed by a male commander— who is married. In vigilance, quick— ness and bravery‘the firewomen are ;aid to be the equal of any of their masculine competitors. They came in full uniform to go through the evolu- :ions beneath King Oscar’s windows, where they aroused great enthusiasm. A Thirst for Knowledge.
