The Best Of Dividends Ultimately.

"What Vermonters are liable to get
from the defunct Northwestern com
pany,' is the heading of an article in
the United States Investor 1t may
not he mentioned in the article in
question but it is fair to conclude that
Vermont investors in the Northwestern

get lesson which will result in keep
ing money at home more generally
than ever before. The evidence of
this statement is already seen in the
increased investments in home indus

know that the exhibits arc Berlin
made, and whatever advantage is to be
reaped commercially from the eXposi-
ton will all go into the pocket of Ber-
lin. That city wants to show the world
that it has become the greatest indus
trial center of Europe-her people
fondly hope, in fact, to demonstrate
that they can go even Paris one better.
Well, preparations on a large scale
have been making for Is months. First,
of course, came the inevitable tussle be-
tween two suburbs as to securing the
location. After it had, been decided to
put the exposition in Treptow, charm
ingly rural suburb about four English
miles from the densely populated city
itself, things have been duly hurried,
and by this time the exposition grounds
are in far more advanced state than
the Chicago fair was six months before
the opening. The location, of course,
is much more advantageous-bein di-
rect by the shores of the Spree river, in
direct connection with the whole rail-
way system of Berlin and with the ur
ban road, or ''Stadtbahn," and the
grounds consist of a beautiful natural
park somewhat larger than Lincoln
park in Chicago, with thousands of enor-
nous shade trees and fine drives and
walks. Nothing needed adding to, all
that was necessary being the taking off
or hewing down in spots. The total
area thus made available for the pur-
poses of this exposition is more than
sufficient, being about 100000 square
metres. Some 1000 exhibitors have al
ready taken space, and the industries
and arts thus represented comprise
nearly everything the human mind and
hand fashion nowadays-from the SIM
plest, cheapest toy up to the most re-
cent triumph of science and inventive
ness, and from the carpenters bench
to the daintiest bit of ivory carving.
+ During an afternoon 1 spent there
this week my mind was forcibly carried
back to Chicago and the fall of '92-the
same heroic struggle against time and
space. Here, too, 5000 workmen toll
night and day, and after dark the
scene is fairy-like, with its many thou
sands of electric lights that replace the
solar disc. Some 300 buildings are GO
ing up simultaneously, and as the win
tors here are mild, compared to Amer
lean winters in the northern states, me-
chanics may labor in the open air near
ly every day until next spring. Some
of the structures are almost finished
now, some for restaurants and similar
places, but the iron pillars of the main
exposition hall-purchased for song
from the Antwerp exposition-form
nothing but skeleton as yet.

no hint of the gorgeous splendor of
those now in vogue. Some are printed
on white grounds in such gay, not to
say striking, colors as t" be only fit for
opera wear and the most elegant oc-
casions. In sharp contrast to these
gaily-colored ones is a pretty leaf
pattern in subdued green on
grounds of dull red, old blue and
silver grey. These latter will be
mostly used for waists and the new
Louis XIV. coat which will be much
worn as the season advances. The love-
ly flower designs on colored and black
grounds are intended for sleeves and
bodice trimmings, and will also be used
for the new panel trimming outlined
with jet. Happily these printed vel
vets are held at such figure that they
can never become common, and the
same may be written of the dainty
chintz-flowered silks which are their
companions in beauty and price.
Many of the handsomest reception
and evening gowns are made of plain
colored or black velvet; and when one
is cut "a la princess" by master hand,
and given Luxurious trimmings of sable,
it makes regal garment and one any
woman would be happy to count among
her most cherished possessions.
A gown fashioned in this way was in
a lovely pale shade of green, trimmed
with narrow bands of sable round the
hem and square-cut neck, while the
short pulled sleeves were of transpar-
ent jeweled muslin finished by band
of the fur fastened by small emerald
clasps. 1 might remark in passing
that the princess dress has been re-
stored to it's old-time popularity, which
will be pleasing news to many women.
1t is a gown easy to get into and is gen
orally becoming, provided one is not too
scraggy nor on the other hand too
plump. ..... ... .
Chinchilla fur is the idol of the hour
and promises to become almost price
less, should the Juror for using it con-
