TIE FAsHloNs.--our readers just now, may be
anxious to know what is the mode for evening
and ball dresses. We therefore lay before them
the latest styles. e4gg M a1 4a't
White tarletans, with double zigzage of inter-
lacing of colored rushing, are in favor above
all, those spotted with gold pearl with stars
of gold glass; also those with small colored
designs. Another pattern meeting with much
favor is that offies or birds in black gold, blue
and gold, red and silver, &c.
Many rich foulards are made in stripes of color
on white ground, or dotted over with small
designs. Ball dresses of thin material are fire.
quently made with tunics, caught up by ribbons,
cords, or tails of flowers. At the bottom of skirts,
bouilionnes or founces are placed, and corset is
with points, or with small separated basques, are
worn. There are some chains made of gold as
trimmings for white satin dresses, covered with
tulle illusion !; these chains-holding as it were
the bouillonnes--are extremely distsngue. There
are also very rich gallons sultanes made in oolors
and fringed with gold; gold guipure embroidered
with pearls and ribbons OF gold and silver, upon
which are large daisies of white colored velvet
with gold or silver hearts. Crystal is used on
velvet the skirts cut on the bias and every seam
trimmed with crystal fringe.

terest to our readers, we clip the following from
the Boston Evening Commercial 49,
''The new mammoth steana hammer 10 o~reeted

or $25,0OO The workmen in the yard received
their regular monthly pay the first part of the
present week. The total expenses for December
were $180,000 The number of men was 2, 1913 !;
the amount paid them was $13O,O00. In the
quarter which has just closed there were 620 Off
GERS and over 8, 100 men the Paymaster's rolls.
The number of men has been reduced to about

The PRICE OF Coal AND WooD.--The price of
fuel this winter is enormous. Only think of it,
here we are surrounded on all sides with dense
forests of good pine and oak wood and if we want
to buy little for fuel, we are charged the enor-
nous sum of from So to $40 per cord-which, we
suppose, is about twenty-five cents for stick
about A feet long.
Here is wealth for you. Only look at the sur
rounding forests and estimate their value by what
the wood is bringing in the market. The gold
mines of California are not circumstance. Here
is chance for enterprise.
And coal at so cents a bushell About one cent
for lump as large as hen egg. Only think of
that, too, ye men who have idle capital and want
to ego in and win" Formerly, coal used to GO
begging here at from l5 to 16 cents bushel-
now so cents. .i go
And at these prices for wood and coal, what
can the poor do to keep warm.

that they shall afford equal facilities to all in
receiving and delivering freight at any depot,
warehouse, elevator or dock, and that no r; .
bate or draw back shall be allowed, directly or
indirectly, from the established rates OF freight,
except to transportation companies running
another continuous line of read It further
provides that all transportation companies shall
publish and conspiciously post up their tariff
rates in detail Section two fxes the maxi.
