Heating Freight Cars.

Z tits reported by German paper
that successful arrangements for the
prevention of damage to merchandise
through excessive cold, have been ex-
ptriInented with on The railroads from
CSblentz and Wiesbaden to Berlin.
The winter of 1S94-'95, which was par
tit,ularly severe through central Eu-
rope, was responsible for great losses
oi perishable freights in transit. Veg
etables, fruits, beer, wine, liquors
anu mineral water suffered most.
II was, therefore, proposed to heat
freight cars carrying such perishable
traffic, and up to the present time not a
single case or q barrel containing
liquids has suffered in transit while on
these cars. A stove in the central part
oil the car, which is heated from with
ont, supplies the necessary warmth,
and thermometer, which is visible
from the outside. reveals to the in
spector, whose duty it is to ascertain
the temperature of each car at every
station, whether he has to open the
ysntilators on top to reduce the heat,
o., whether new fuel ought to be in
troduced to keep up the fire and in
crease the temperature. A slight ad-
ditional rate is charged, and as ship
pers prefer this increase to the uncer-
teinty of the weather, the entire sys-
tenn is pronounced success on all
SIDES.

This Prince Was True Prophet.

Prince Napoleon, in 1870, was some
thing of prophet. When he heard
of the Emperor's declaration OF war,
he hurried to st. Cloud and had a
stormy interview with the Emperor.
He didn't hesitate to say "It is the
Empress who has brought this upon
us, and tho Emperor, while offended
at his frankness, admitted that your
presentiments perhaps correspond with
mine" Then the Prince fired his last
shot and showed that though he
might go astray in many things, he
knew of the weakness OF France and.
the strength OF Germany. He turned
on his heel and, with that bitterness
Which he didn't hesitate to exhibit
when occasion required, said. $50 be

FASHION NOTES.

Fancy taffeta silks will be in high
vogue the coming season.
The large shops arc already display
ing on their counters new cotton waists
for the summer of 1896.
The newest plaids are lovely-white,
green and black together, or violet,
rose and green, with many other at.
tractive combinations.
Grass linen and it's kindred fabrics,
ecru batiste md holland, have by no
means had their day of favor. They
are imported in great quantities, in
stripes of color, with all over designs
OF embroidery.
Fur edgings around the hens oil
skirts are going out OF favor. They
are untidy and unsanitary. They
gather up everything Objectionable on
the street that can possibly attach to
such material. A little dampness
makes them exceedingly unsightly and
they wear off very quickly, giving
them spotted and NANCY appearance.
Gloves are IN important item in my
lady's outfit. They must be long, ex-
tending some distance above the
elbows, in some cases to the shoulders
They are not very tight fitting. In
deed, an exceedingly close fitting glove
is not thought to be in the best style.
They are almost without ornament,
some of the best qualities having
merely the fine stitching a5 the back
of the hand.
