For quite long time fashions have uD-
dergone a slow change, practically re-
naming in a stationary state with slight
notifications This season, however,
decided change Is shown in skirts, in the
way of draperies. The old-tlme draped
effects are more or less revived with the
addition Of many pretty and artistic touch
es, in accordance with modern taste, or
with adaptiuns from historical sources.
The underskirt, however, will retain its
present ilaring effect. The best way,
however TO find the needed information
and all the leading models of the coming
season, is to subscribe to one or two
Fashion Journals. The Mcdowell Mag
aZines, which always maintain high de-

this subject. The patterns and paper
models issued by the house of Mcdowell

The annual dinner of the Doliber-Good-
ale Company, the proprietors of Mellin's
| Food, to their heads of departments and
travelling men, was given on the 9th of
December, 1898, at the Parker House,
Boston.
In response to the special invitation
from Mr.. Doliber, the president of the
company, all of the travelling men had
turned from their different fields of labor,
and had come together in Boston, the
headquarters of the business, each to
make systematic and detailed report of
his past years work and to discuss with
the home management the methods, plans
and efforts tor his coming years work.
1t was most natural and happy home
coming, and seemed almost like a family
gathering, as the freedom of discussion,
the quick response to Mr.. Doliber's re-
quest for suggestions, and the enthusiasm
shown by all present, told of the cordial
relations and perfect confidence existing
between the travellers and the manager of
the company.
After the merriment which always ac-
companies good dinner, speeches were
in order, and as the Mellin's Food men
are all good takers and the dinner had
been a success, there was no backward
ness in coming forward to carry out this
part of the programme.
Perhaps one secret of the steady growth
and increasing prosperity of the Mellin's
Food business is to be discovered in this
incident. Mr.. Doliber's breadth of view,
honesty of purpose and perfect sincerity,
which makes him willing to listen to any
and all suggestions that even the young
est and least experienced of his employees
might offer, have no doubt kept the entire
force of workers in intelligent harmony
with those whose responsibility it is to
direct them, and in this way better and
larger and more permanent results have
been secured. ed.-Pharmaceutical Era.

1t is little confusing to students
of our system of government, who
start out with the understanding that
a majority rules, to read about ten
democratic Senators debating to
thirty-four democratic Senators.
However, this is only another of the
constantly occurring illustrations which
prove the difference between theory
and actual practice.

Even the Democratic Ways and Means
Committees classification of hydraulic
hose as wearing apparel is outdoneN by
some of the absurdities perpetrated in the
Wilson bill in the process of its revision
by the Democratic Senators. To do this
patchwork of legislation, full justice
would require the humorous genius of
Bill Nye OF Whitcomb Riley.
Take the duty on iron ore for instance.
At 40 cents a ton it would amount, on an
| ad valorem basis, to about 25 per cent
The. duty on pig iron is % 1-2 per cent,
while the duty on boiler tubes is only 20
per cent, That is, the Wilson bill ac-
tually fixes It's lowest rate on finished
product, and its highest on the very
crudest of the raw materially out of which
this product is manufactured Such
Legislation as this would disgrace the
infant class in school for the feeblel
minded.
There is another conspicuous bit of i'd
IVY III VIC SloNc SCueuult Ou LHe CIdSS-
esS of women's and children's gloves most
1geperally worn. the Mckinley tariff i'm
posed the sufficiently stiff duty of so per
cent. In the Wilson bill, for some un-
considerable reason, this is changed to a
specific rate, the effect of which is almost
to double the duty, or to make it 81 per
cent. Another grade of gloves has its
duty increased from sl.O5 per dozen pairs
to $2.75 uuder this precious irefol m" leg
islation. And at the same time the du-
ties ON the higher grades ofsgloves, pur-
chased and worn by well-to-do people,
are substantially reduced. The explana.
I tion of this amazing inconsistency is that
the glove schedule of the Wilson bill was
prepared by 4 firm of New York foreign
importers Which is interested exclusively
in high-priced gloves, and is anxious to
have them bought and used to the exclu-
sion of the cheaper article. SO this par
ticular feature of the Wilson bill at least
has an Ineligible motive for its existence,
