The Philadelphia Press tells a story
that there is a woman clairvoyant who
stands all day long at the Broadway
end of the Consolidated Exchange in
New York. She has broker on the
floor who keeps watch of her. At u
glance from her he jumps into the
wheat pit, which is just under the edge
of the gallery, and makes a transaction.
She stands there from 1880 to 3 o'clock
with one hand resting over the rail.
By slight movements of this hand, she
gives orders to the broker to buy or
sell wheat. The number Of fingers eX-
tended, indicates the numbers of thous-
ands of bushels to be bought or sold,
and twice up and down of the whole
hand tells the broker whether to buy
or sell. A gentleman says of her: at
is said, she is real clairvoyant. She
reads the future turns in the market,
and buys or sells accordingly, or at
least she thinks she reads the future,
and maybe she does, for she has re-
manned longer than the ordinary wo
man speculator. She has been at ii
for months.

sticklers for presidency. He had at Il

bottom of the table, on perceiving
which considerable emotion arose
among the company, who dreaded the
consequence of the supposed indignity;

tensions by exclaiming emphatically:

swift skating makes a big hat most

Military braiding is plentiful enough
in other than skating rigs, and braid
applied in one form or another is now
a characteristic trimming. 1t takes all
manner of elaborate and fanciful de-
signs and is frequently used quite as
freely as 1t was on the gown sketched
for to-days picture. In this instance 1t
was black mohair braid, put OH a wide
black diagonal cloth. The single rever
was white cloth, and the whole gown
had tailor finish.

corsets are now offered as a solution of
the corset question They are made
with bones easily removable and the
corset goes into the wash, steels and
bones all out, of course, as often as
does any other article of underwear. A
corset so treated lasts well, because it
is always possible to put the bones
back turned the other way, so that the
steels bent one week one way and the
next week the opposite way, retain
their spring and straightness.

ENGLISH YRADE.

England is just now somewhat agi-
going to hold her own or make progress
in business. A very elaborate memo
randum on the subject of British trade
and foreign competition has just been
submitted to the house of commons by
Sir Courtenay Boyle, the permanent
secretary of the board of trade. What
he says is we'll worth attention in this
country. He points out that the in
crease of population in Germany and
the United States has recently been
greater than the increase in the United
Kingdom, and those countries have de-
veloped manufacturing and industrial
power rapidly. Great Britain, howev-
er, is still greatly ahead of either coun-
try in power of manufacture for ex-
port, so much so that up to the present
their gains in this respect have had no
serious effect upon English trade; but
beginning from a lower level, each
country is for the moment travelling
upwards more rapidly than England
If peace is maintained both Germany
and the United States, and (to some ex-
tent France also are certain to in
crease their rate of upward movement
Their competition with England in
neutral markets, and even in British
home markets, will probably become
increasingly serious. 1t is necessary,
therefore, he says, that attention should
be given in the United Kingdom to
the business of manufacturing for ex-
port. The richer neighboring nations
are the better for England and the
rest of the world. But the change of
conditions must be recognized, and
England cannot expect to maintain her
past prominence without strenuous ef-
fort and energetic improvement in
method. The question how to bring
this about is one which interests con-
sumers as well as producers, labor as
well as capital The state can only
give limited assistance. The CONNER
cial position of the United Kingdom
has been attained and must be kept up
in the future by the untiring zeal and
energy of the industrial community.

THEN md NOU.

When what is known as ''the paral-
lei law" was made the need of making
it was generally understood throughout
the State and the wisdom of making it
was generally approved. People in this
State and all over the country who had
investments in western and other rail-
roads that were needlessly paralleled
sadly realized that parallel roads were
ruinous to investors. People who didn't
happen to be investors in roads that
We're needlessly paralleled realized that
two roads poorly run at loss We're
not as good and safe for public use and
convenience as one road well run at a
fair profit And all who looked into the
matter with any care saw that when a
road was needlessly paralleled the dear
public for whose benefit the paralleling
was said to be done had, in the end,
to pay the bills. 1t was plainly seen
that needless paralleling didn't differ
much in effect from reckless or swind-
ling stock-Watering.
Has the situation changed since the
parallel law was passed so that the
arguments then generally recognized
as conclusive in it's favor are no longer
sound? We think not. The needlessly
paralleled western and other roads
h ~ Lo, +a1,
ing. Many of them have been or are
now in the hands of receivers. Many
the public good" have also been or are
in the same condition. Investors in
both the paralleled and the parallel
roads are wailing and gnashing their
teeth over their wasted fortunes, And
the public, so beloved by the promoters
of parallel schemes, is grooming under
the burden laid on it by those pro-
moters, and in some of the States is
blindly and savagely striking at both
the legitimate and the illegitimate rail-
road enterprises.
If then, there has been no change
that would weaken the arguments
which were seen to be so sound and
strong a few years ago, and if what
has happened since has only added to
the soundness and strength of those
arguments, why should the law rightly
and wisely made then be now repealed ?
Why should the State of Connecticut
take action that would threaten the
efficiency and the solvency of one of
the few great railroads of the country
that are now either thoroughly efficient
or solvent? And why should the State
take action that would inevitably add
to it's burdens and under the specious
plea of public convenience and neces-
sity lead to public inconvenience and
loss?

Skaters that have costume eXclu-

dress to that use first and then use 1T

although champions of this sport in

warm by the vigor of her graceful ex-

a point of wearing a bodice that does
not in the least bundle up the figure, a
touch of fur at the throat, a little muff,
a trimming of fur, making picturesque
concession to the requirements. The
