"Ths Crinolette.n

Women who are endsavoring to ac-
quire the art of sitting sidewise on the
edge Of a chair without conspicuous
awkwardness, not to say with grace,
will be glad to hear of decided novel
ty in the spiral spring skirt crinolette.
The steels are fixed lengthwise, and
curl round and round till they taper
off close to the waist. This arrange
ment is described as productive OF
pleasing results. for in sitting the coils
are at once flattened down and as
speedily regain their shape. One can
settle ones self on chair or stool, OF
loll back in low shaped fauteuil,
and the skirt is not pushed out Of gear.
1t is to be hoped that importers will
at once order a supply, for hustle
which will neither slip to one side, mol

ing results, is an article which in the
present inflated state of fashion, ought
to make the fortune of its inventor. -

The fasbiouable colors of the sea.

The fashionable colors of the sea-
son are steel blue, grape red, chestnut.
mushroom, autumn meadow green. and
twilight pink.
Among new woods used for furni-
ture and artistic interior finishing is
cocoba wood, darker than mohogany,
and very effective. ..
Evening gloves are as long as ever
and always of unglazed kid or Suede,
and the preferred colors are beige and
tan in various shades.
Feather marabouts. nlgrettes Of
gold and silver, aud diamonds, real or
mock. are the garnitures for coiffures
at balls and dancing parties.
Black lace evening dresses are very
distingue, whether trimmed with jet
steel. or bright silver, or frightened
with gold and diamond jewelry.
The stockings for evening wear
must match the color of the dress or
its trimmings, and be plain, of silk or
fine Isle thread, with embroidered
clocks.
Coiffures to be fashionable must be
in the form of figure 8 on the top
of the head. with frizzled bangs on the
forehead and in the nape Of the neck.
The wide scarf sashes so fashion
ably worn with reception toilets are
of wide ribbon, edged with laces, or
of velvet, plush, broche, or entirely of
lace.
Scarf.like sashes are much worn on
dressy reception gowns, being arrang-
ed ingeniously to form part Of the
draperies, and to make the tablier ex-
ceedingly ornate.
The entire front breadths of dressy
toilets for evening wear are frequent
ly made of beads matching in color and
tone the silk, satin, velvet, or broche
that forms the dress.
Wide sashes of white Surah, loosely
tied around the waist and ARRANGED
in a big bow in the back, make an
effective finish to plain white tulle

this: On the one side whether the appropria-

Surely this question is not a vital one. Tho

loose, irregular and dangerous, taking from

W0N AND STEEL.
MIR. James M. swank's Annual Review
of tho Trade.

MIR. James M. Swank's Annual Review
of tho Trade.
A review Of the iron trade in this country
and abroad has just been completed by Mr.
James NJ. Swank, Secretary of the American
Iron and Steel Association. He says; In the
United Suites the demand for all leading arti-
cles OF iron and steel was less in 1884 than in
1883, We made less pig iron and bar iron,
fewer steel rails, less steel for miscellaneous
purposes and fewer kegs of nails. Steel rails
commenced the year at $34 and fell to $1,000
in September; since which time they have
rallied to S2S in December. No. anthracite
foundry pig iron at Philadelphia brought 5000
at tho beginning of the year and only SIS at
the close. Best bar iron at Philadelphia only
sold at two cents per pound in January, but it
has for many months sold at one and one
eight tenths OF a cent per pound, or S4O'32
per gross ton, This is lower price than we
quoted during the panic years except for
short time in 1879. The store price for cut
nails at Philadelphia was $3.50 per Reg IN
January, from which there WINS steady de-
cline to 80. in October which is the presen-
price, Tho price during the panic
years did not fall so low until March,
1879, but from this low price there
was speedy recovery. Taking it all in
all, the year 1884 was bad year for the Amer
lean iron trade, rendering necessary g neral
reduction OF wages and the closing OF many
manufacturing Establishments. The new year
opens with no promise oil immediate improve
ment. II the farmers of the West could
dispose of their wheat and corn and other
staples at higher prices than now prevail, we
might soon SEQ an increased demand and better
prices Tor iron and steel, but until the farmers
prospects improve we cannot see better days
ior our iron and steel manufacturers, nor for
some other manufacturers. The country at
large cannot be prosperous if the farmers are
not. In Europe the year which has just closed
was one OF stesdily declining prosperity for the
iron trade. The iron trade of Great Britain
has especially suffered, and it is at the present
time in a very depressed and panicky condition.
Production and prices have both greatly de-
clined, and real stagnation prevails in many
districts, with many thousands of workmen in
/ ocfual want

Director General Burke, of New Orleans,
recently said: "Ihe expenses of the EXPOSE
ton to Jan. have been S250,O0O more than
the management estimated. Instead OF open
ing with full receipts from admissions on Dec.
i, the exhibits were delayed and construction
retarded, and the enormous demands for space
made additional buildings necessary. We
have had thirty five days of almost continuous
rain. During this time we have moved from
the terminal station over 5000 car loads of
domestic exhibits, discharged this freight from
the cars, immense quantities being heavy
machinery, and convey cd it 10 the space allol-
ted to the exhibitors. Two thousand men
were at work day and night, in ruin and mud,
during the last month, working overtime, and
for extra pay, with every nerve strained in an
effort to surnount obstacles which at times
seemed simply appalling.
beginning on Jan. l, all receipts are first
applied to the operating expenses, which have
been reduced to low figures. The surplus is
applied to the payment Of the back indebted
ness. The receipts were ample for the cur
rent expenses, even during the bad weather.
and with fair weather the revenues will be ten
times the amount of tho expenses. The board
will apply to our own people TO increase their
subscriptions and pay the amounts duo, and the
Ex?osition will be perfectly nble to carry itself

STEALING INDIAN FUNDS.

Rich by Peculation.
The administration of Indian affairs, OF
which Canada has always boosted, is falling
nto disrepute, and many agents who were sup
posed to have been beyond reproach are now
accused of grave irregularities. Large sums OF
money have been voted for Indian schools,
which, it appears, in the majority of cases, are
conducted by incompetent and immoral teach
c1s. Although tie attendance has fallen of
largely, the expense of maintaining these
schools has increased. Agents who have con-
troll of supplies Of the western superintendency,
on account OF which nearly $5OO,0O0
was supposed to have been expended
last year, have become independent,
not from savings out of their salaries,
but by swindling Indians out Of that which Par
lament voted to keep them from starvation.
Great dissatisfaction is shown by the Indians at
the treatment they are receiving, and it is
openly alleged that Lieut.-Gov. Dewdney, who
is the only Indian commissioner, has shared

funds The matter will be brought up in Par

will be made of the manner in which the Indian
