 It has been for some time impressed upon us that well-dressed man has an objective point from which to start his whole costume--namely, his neck tie; and it would be well if women could realize that the way in which they dress ther neck makes all the difference in the world as to whether shey look well or ill Simply because Dame Fashion says that buckles are to be worn at the throat, and because one woman with long neck appears in big curved steel affair which gives a smart effect. it by no means follows that all the women In the world are going to look we'll with the same thing.

CANALS OF THE FUTURE.
They Will Be Large Enough For the Han
ding of a Heavy Business.


The history of the struggle between
canals of small dimensions and of rail-
roads has been the same in all countries.
The fight ragged bitterly for number of
years, the canals acting on the defen-
sive, although they had as allies the
states under whose patronage they were
built and operated. The result has been
the same in all cases-the unconditional
surrender of the canals to the railroads.
This, however, is not so much the fault
The railroads have great advantages
over canals. They are better able to
abridge distances both by reason of supe-
rior speed and of facilities for overcom-
ing elevations, spanning streams, free
from danger of destructive floods, and
piercing through the highest mountains,
but their great success is mainly due to
the fact that they have kept pace with
the progress of the world.
Waterways built from the beginning
of the eighteenth century to the first
quarter of the nineteenth century were
regarded ample to meet the requirements
of trade at the time they were construct
ed, and there was in many instances a
progressive improvement in their dimen-
siOns and appurtenanCes. But while the
industrial, agricultural and commercial
developments of the world have ad-
vanced to proportions not dreamed of a
century ago canals have remained sta
tiOnary. They are now obsolete and can
no longer fulfill the requirements OF
cheap transportation in competition
with railroads. The canals of the future
must have the dimensions and the facili-
ties for rapid transport to adapt them to
the new conditions of commerce. They
must not be barge or boat canals but
ample waterways for the free passage of
such ships as are now engaged in carry
ing the worlds trade. OF such canals
we have now some important types in
successful operation, and others in proc
ess of construction or in completion. -

EcceNrRIclrIEs OF DICKENS.
His Dread of Railway TravelinE-stranGe
Mirror Antics.

"It1or Nhtics'
In some interesting "Recollections of
Charles Dickens, " in The Young Man,
his eldest daughter tells how, after the
railway accident which befell the novel
list in 1865, he often suffered from a
feeling of intense dread whenever he
found himself i'll any kind of convey
anCo:
lone occasion, she says, Especial
" recall While we were on our way
from London to our little country sta
ton Higham, where the carriage was TO
meet us, my father suddenly clutChed
the arms of the railway carriage seat,
while his face grew ashy pale, and great
drops of perspiration stood upon his fore
head, and though he tried to master the
dread it was so strong that he had to
leave the train at the next station. The
accident had left its impression upon the
memory, and itwas destined never to be
effaced. "
Miss Dickens, when an invalid, was
frequently carried into her fathers
study and lay quietly on the sofa watch
ing the novelist at work. On these oc-
casions she was sometimes witness of a
curious proceeding in which the novel
ist INDUCED:
Suddenly my father would jump
from his chair and rush to a mirror
which hung near, and in which / could
see the reflection of some extraordinary
facial contortions which he was making
He returned rapidly to his desk, wrote
furiously for few minutes, and then
went again to the mirror. The facial
pantomime was resumed, and then, turn
ing toward but evidently not seeing me,
he began talking rapidly in low tone
Ceasing this soon, however, he returned
once more to his desk, where he remain
ed silently writing until luncheon
time. "
1t was not till long afterward that
Miss Dickens discovered that, with his
natural intensity, her father had thrown
himself into the character that he was
creating, land that for the time being
he had not only lost sight of his sur
roundings, but had actually become in
action, as in imagination, the personal
ity of his pen"
