TIE RAILROADS.

Chicago reports that all the leading
railway men there are greatly pleased at
the stand taken by merchants OF Chi
cage and New York against the ticket
brokers, associations in both cities hav-
Ing within the last few days declared
that It was better to do business with
the roads direct than with the scalpers
The railroad men say that this action Of
the associations IN both cities by the
leading merchants show that the trend
Of sentiment Is coming their way at last
and II will ultimately result In the abol-
lshment Of the broker II the low rates
that the roads In the east and west have
made for merchants who desire to visit
the commercial centres for the purpose
Of purchasing their goods shall have the
effect Of doing away with the brokers
even IN n small degree, the roads will feel
that they have made great deal OF
money by making the low rates to the
business men.

that work on the improvements TO be

A LONG INSIDE PASSAGE.
Navigating the Ocean Among Thousands
 of Islands.

of Islands.
 Whatever may be said-and much can be-of the beauties of the Alaskan coast, it is not inviting to the seafaring man. and especially the master who is taking ship by the inside route from Puget sound to Sitka or Juneau for the first time, feat, so it is claimed, impossi- ble of accomplishment by continuous voyage save through the assistance of J good pIiot- This passageway-fo by the mainlaf.t coasts of British fs lumbia and Alaska as1 chain or IS lands ranging in length from to 25o miles-is from 100 yards to several miles in width The channels proper are of unusual depth. In places frou 300 to 400 fathoms of water are ire. quently found. From the smooth, glassy surface ledges and reefs. assassins oi the sea, turk, ready to send some ship, humanity laden, to the bottom. In these waters the lead is supplanted by whistle echoes from tho land. this being the only method during fog by which the captain or pilot guides his vessel along a safe way.
 Old sea captains say there is no wa. ter course in the world where in unfa. vorable weather such skill is requixes as to guide ship via the channels on a voyage from the sound and return, the roand trip to Sitka being more than half the distance of the voyage across the Atlantic. The Pacific Coast Steam ship company $ vessels running to Alas ka are always manned with two pilots each in the winter and spring and are never without one pilot. With at least two of this company's 8 vessels now run ming to Alaska the captains themselves served an apprenticeship of many years at piloting.
 The outside passage, the one by the open ocean, is seldom used, on account of the unfavorable winds which prevail for distance of over 30 miles out to sea, rendering vessels progress much slower, to sa5 nothing of the danger of ships being taught ill gale and driven ashore. With the danger from wreck almost eliminated by the employment of professional pilots, the inside passage is rendered most delightful voyage, as it abounds in beautiful scenery and is free from winds.

New Gowns From Old ons..

It is always good news to the GEeAa army of women who like to dress well on small incomes that they may re. model. freshen up and rearrange thaix last year costumes at very small cost.
 To begin with. the skirt of last yses does over beautifully to accord with the new fashions. Remove the braid and facing and rip the seams nearly to ths belt, then cut off the bias sides Of the front breadth until tho ripple effect Ia removed, and the skirt will hang qstts plain and smooth across the front. Treat the side gores in the same way, baste the outside and lining together with the utmost care and sew up the seams again. It is very good plan te Daste outside and lining very carefully and with fine stitches before the seams are ripped This saves great deal of work and bother later on in the course of remoteling it. Put on the facing without much Esiffening and bind with yelyeteen after the usual manner.
 The waist proper needs yery little change. If 1t is as plain as most of fss' seasons waists were. add a little hand some garniture or great deal that is less costly. A large amount of extreme. ly expensive trimming is inappropriate, except for really elegant dresses. Sleeves, if they have neither padding. stiffening nor any extreme feature, may be left as they are. with the addi. tion of q deep cap or cape shaped frill falling over the tops A velvet collar, belt, revers and cuffs from wrists so el- bows will go far toward making an old fashioned dress attractive
 The use of fur is running to an ex- treme. While it is eminently sppropri. ate in com bination with velvet, cloth or indeed any heavy material. it is in congruous and out of place when mixed up with chiffon, lace aud tulle.
 Of course, fashion tolerates it. but in all matters of this sort good sense should rule, and it certainly is not good seass to unite such extreme fabrics in 6 single garment. New York Ledger

He had trou- ble with Lieutenant Cox Of the Ohio regiment and was sentenced to be shot Aug. 28, 1865. Ten days before the day of execution he escaped by assist anee of the guard, and, going to New York, assumed the name Thomas A. Jones. under which alias he has since lived, travelling the world over in search of the family left i'll Memphis. After years in San Francisco and down the Pacific coast, through all the Central American republics, he returned to New Orleans in 1880 and began the search for relatives, knowing that he left a mother and three sisters He travelled 75,000 miles and spent $11, ,000 in the search, winding up ill Memphis in 1887 with Sll in his pocket.
 The other day Jones, by which name he was known through these 32 years, was in Morroe, La, and, seeing paper with an ad. from Mrs. J. B. Fenn a thrill shot through him. Recognizing the name as that of his sister, Jones ar rived at New Orleans, and publicly an- nounced that he would resume his right name, A. c. Denson.

Woman and the Naturaliss.

To study woman from @ zoological standpoint may seem distasteful, as lacking ill sentiment, but 1t is probably She only rational method. Dr. ". K. Brooks of the Johns Hopkins university discusses the conditions of the woman in the past:
 Primitive man was no doubt an ugly, feroaious brute, but there Is evidence that primitive woman admirsd his fs- rooity and was quite ready to abandon him and follow more ferocious brute with resignation and even with exulta- ton. If the woman of the heroic age was in constant danger of lifelong slav- cry under covetous and ablebodied neighbors, her menfoik were. according to the Odyssey, in no less danger of furnishing bloody meal for doga Any delicate and refined woman of today would find the common life of woman of the dark ages uncomfortable. The women of the dark ages were not over refined, nor, for that matter. were those in the time of good Queen Bess, and the misery and wretchedness to the men of the nineteenth century as well as to the women.
 Those who talk of the subjeotion of woman to mans dominion, and her emancipation from his tyranny, forget that during historical times the whole human race has improved in the virtues of self restraint and humanity. and that, even if there has as yet been no material progress in disintersstedness selfishness has unquestionably become more enlightened and broad minded. In- stead of being something wrested from hard hearted man, the improvement of the condition of woman is only one as- pect of that progress which benefits all -the young. the mature, tho aged women and men alike. Man has not dc liberately worked out his destiny. He has been shaped and controlled by infiu ences of which he has been for the most part totally ignorant-infiuences which are purely natural, shining like the sna OH the evil and the good. and descend. ing like ra;n on the just and the rn;net- and woman like man. has had her part in the whole history of our race.

Evolution of Women.

MT. Gleeson White discusses in Gas. sells Falaily Magazine the subject of the yolution of women. Mr.. White approaches the matter from an artistic sta adpoint. There are, he re- marks, sever4! distinct aspects of beau ty-beauty of form, beauty of colo i, beauty of wit and beauty of pathos. But the ideals embodying them have not been evolved in the above, nor in any order, nor has any one preserved its en- tire supremacy for long. The matchless lead of Aphrodite still appears absolute ly satisfying to cultured taste today, but when you see it translated to color, as Albert Moore often re-embodied it, tn il is something lost. At the best Mir. Whi Q considers the Greek and Roman typos are unconditional and do not awaken more than aesthetic rapture, for in those days even portraiture aimed to elevate the individual to type.
