crossing from one wall to another; hence. as

comparative distance, just escape the disgusting

STOUT WOMEN.
Combination Garments Adapted for the Use

Combination Garments Adapted for the Use
of Fat Women.
Paris Letter in Cassell's Magazine.
The fashions of to-day would ali seem to be ar
ranged for slim people, and those who are
broader built and fatter are much troubled how
best to keep with the times But there are GER
tain principles and hints worth considering
their part. A symmetrical figure is a good one,
whether stout or thin, and that is the object to
be attained. Combination garments greatly di-
ininish the bulk. and should be adopted by those
who are troubled by embonpoint and the full
ness of petticoats should be brought down we'll
twelve inches deep, and shaped to the figure.
This band should have buttons all round.
and all skirts be buttoned to the
one band. Cheap stays must be aban-
doned and a good corsetiere consulted
who knows her business we'll. AS breadth is
what you are warning against, everything should
be done to add to the apparent height Allure
checks; have no straight draperies, but rather
diagonal ones; dark colors are better than light.
Bright colors introduced as waistcoats and fronts
of dresses diminish the apparent bulk, but take
care that the addition is made considerably mar
rover at the waist. Never have an all -round
basque to jacket if the hips are unduly large,
but cut up at both sides and back. Trim the
front horizontally, with dropping bow, where
possible. The skirt drapery should begin where
the bodice ends Many seams in bodice dimin-
ish its apparent size; and the higher you place
the sleeves, and the lower the breast-p laits the
better. Avoid, also, short skirts, and wear trains
wherever feasible. Folds and plaits are suitable
on skirts, and the less trimming above the face
in bonnets for broad physiognomies the better.
Bat do not fall into the fatal error Of wearing
too little understanding. Such folly is the cause
of many diseases, and much suffering.

Trying co Patch Up the Trunk-Line Pool.

Trying co Patch UP the Trunk-Line Pool.
Desperate efforts are being made to remodel
the trunk-line pool, and operate it in such
manner as to satisfy all parties A proposition
is now under discussion among the east bound
pool roads for new agreement, which will be
made binding by the joint deposit OF forfeit
money, the forfeit to go to the pool in case of
any deviation from the schedule rate agreed
upon. And it is said the Pennsylvania will re-
fuse to enter into new pool contract unless
money forfeit is placed in the hands of the pool
commissioner who shall have power to impose
penalty for all attractions of the pool contract.
New York financial paper, in commenting on
this proposition, says the principal recon-
mendation of this most excellent plan Is it's ex-
treme age. 1t has been tried often and often in
times past. Will some one kindly say when il
has ever been enforced, and when the payment
of forfeit money to maintain conspiracy against
the public veal has ever been enforced2 1t will
not do, gentlemen. With declining business and
increased competition no pool rate can be main
tanned When traffic is plenty there is need
of pool. The roads will continue In the future,
as in the past, to take all the freight they can
get, and rates will be subject to the commercial
law of supply and demand. An instance in point
is the maintenance Of an unagreed rate at the
present time. All the roads stand ready to cut
when business falls off, but with freight pressing
they are content to wait until it is necessary to
protect business" Then rates will 60 below
the present scarcely remunerative figure.

May Change the Character of Shipments?

While the suit of the National Humane So
ciety against the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany is brought to prevent cruelty TO live stock
when in transit and is conducted merely for
the purpose of enforcing the humane provisions
Of the act of Congress, it may turn out eventual
ly to have wider influence than that very
praiseworty end. For some time the railway
pool has established and maintained very de-
cided discrimination in rates against the
transportation of live stock and dressed
meats The only adequate theory for explain
ing this course was in the interest
of railway managers in the Chicago i've
stock yards. 1t is possible that the liability of
the railways to be subject to suits for such trans
gressions as these may turn the scale in favor of
dressed beef. If that trade is given rates on the
came basis as live stock it will eventually change
the present method of transporting meat sup
plies.

THE NEW CONVERT TO THE CHURCH.
Lord Charles Hamilton, Now a Catholic, and
Some of His Naples Doings.

London Life.
The Roman Catholic Church must be congrat
ulated upon the latest vert Lord Carlo Hamil
ton. In former days, at Naples, Lord Carlo was
wont to rather scandalize the high dignitaries of
the church, and, indeed, ''all sorts and cond-
tons of men," Followed by an enormous bull
dog of most ferocious aspect, the usually lazy
Neapolitan crowd cleared the way for him and
his four-footed follower with marvellous celebrity.
One day, having decided upon going to Rome,
Lord Charles proceeded TO the station, and took
his place in a frst-class carriage, the
''dawg" taking up position on the seat
opposite his master The platform in
spector, with many gestculations declared
thasrshs poor bulldog should not travel in a
passenger carriage. Very well, then, take him
cut, was Lord Charles quiet rejoinder In vain
the official expostuated; he merely reiterated
his former renly-a piece Of advice it is needless
to say, which not followed and Lord
Charles, apparently master of the situation,
threw himself back in his seat and calmly lighted
a cigar But the Italians not to be out
done, and, quietly detaching the carriage in
which the 'English milor' was seated, they
started off to the Eternal City Lord Charles
sat quietly smoking for some quarter of an
hour, and then, surprised at the delay, thrust
his head out of the window aud demanded when
the train was going to start. His feelings may
be 'better imagined than described" Baron
Gunzburg will possibly be pleased to hear that
Lord Charles has forsaken his old ways.

Freight Business somewhat Lighter.

Freight Business Somewhat Lighter.
The train records show that nearly 1000 less
loaded cars were received and forwarded over
Indianapolis roads last week than in the
week ending March IA. and the loss is largely
in outbound business eastward and in
coming freghts from the West, the falling off
being wholly in grain shipments For instance
the L., n. A. & c. Airline brought in 232 and
forwarded but 100 loaded cars. Tbs Wabash
brought in Ala; forwarded but 1873 loaded cars.
The l., B. & W., middle division, brought in
A5 forwarded 929 loaded cars or, in other
words, while there has been considerable fall
ing off in the movement Of loaded cars East, there
has been marked increase in the west-bound
shipments, and indications are to a still heav-
Ter tonnage. 1t is proper to state, however, that
the east bound tonnage would have been heav-
Ter with two or three of the roads could cars
have been obtained. In fact, the l. d ST. L.,
the L., b. 81 W.. the Vapdalia and the c., l.,
ST. L. & G. were troubled to fill their orders for
cars. That so large per cent. of the cars
coming west are loaded Is favorable feature of
traffic. With north and south roads the vol
ume of business averages well with that for the
month past. There is still room for an improve
ment. The north and south lines are earn
ing more money on the tonnage carried than are
the east and west lines, on either their through
