At the recent serni-annual meeting of the shareholders of the Peninsular x Oriental Steamship company in London, the president of the corporation made a statement, apropos of the delay in put ting into commission certain new steam- ships the building of which had been ordered some time previous, which is interesting as characteristic of English methods of work. He said that, while he had complained to the shipbuilders of the delay, they had assured him that 1t was through no fault of theirs, and one of them showed him his account books, by which it appeared that cer- tain gangs of riveters, each gang num- pering three men, who might easily earn from $75 to $100 a week by their work were only willing to do work for about haif that time. When these groups of three had earned from $40 to $50 a week. they came to the conclusion that they had made enough money for that week ana took the rest of the time up to the next week for holidays.

The performance is a perfectly natural one, and it is surprising, when you come to think of 1t, that it didn't happen long ago. There is good reason to believe, that the public will profit by the new deal and it looks as if the stock holders in the combined roads wouldn't lose anything. Two good properties put together ought to make one good prop erty, and in this case they probably will.

STATE EMPLOYMENT ENCIES.

Under a law enacted by the last legis- lature the State of Illinois must go into the employment agency business the first of this month The law provides for the establishment of three employ ment agencies in Chicago, where any person who is out of work or dissatisfied with his situation can list himself, to- gether with the kind of work he is quail fled to do. It is expected that the en- ployers of labor will avail themselves of the agency provided by the State for supplying them with laborers, and it will be the duty of the State to notify applicants when there are calls fer them. The superintendent of the agency Is re- qured to make frequent reports to the bureau of labor statistics regarding the demand for labor in the various lines of industry in his locality, together with rates of wages paid.
 It will be interesting to see how this paternal scheme works. and it will be surprising to see it work well.

 Gle, as they called 1t, No one had touched or approached the stone, and it was still lying where it fell when the officials sent to investigate the matter arrived. The story of it's fall was given as follows:
 "A woman was pounding corn under tree within about ten yards of her hut when the stone fell. The whole will lage heard the detonation immediately afterWard, and gathered to where the woman yves standing, to view the stone. They were afraid of 1t, thinking 1t en- ohanted, and they sat at distance round it, each giving a version of it's probable origin and meaning" It fell on hard ground, but, as there were no rocks about, no difficulty was eXperi- enced in digging ii up complet e. At Bantyre, little before o'clock on the same morning, a star of exceptional brilliancy was seen to pass across the sky in the direction of Lake Shirwa Qoughly west to easD, leaving trail or tail behind it, immediately followed by an explosion like a crash of thun- der. MT. McClounie states that the re- port was heard with the precision of a cannon boom, while MT. Sharpe, Who at the time of the explosion was on the top of Iomba mountain, heard one very loud report; then for some two minutes long rumbling or buzzing noise, grad ually getting fainter and fainter.
 Explosions of meteorites are gener- ally followed by sounds which have been variously likened to the Tapping of the wings of wild geess, the believing of oXen Turkish music, the roaring Of fire in chimney, the noise of q car riage on the pavement, and the tearing of calico.
 MT Fletcher, the keeper of the de- lartment of minerals. in his ''Introduc- tion to the Study of Meteorltes," states that these sounds are probably due to the Whirling of the fragments through the air in the neighborhood of the ob- servers. As far as at present known,

ton of ragged and faded trimming, which follows quickly if the fringe em- ployed is poor quality.
 As yet there is little variety in the employment of this trimming. most of which is applied to the edge of over- skirts in the general manner Illustrated herewith In this model the fringe at the bottom was so graduated in length that it reached the hem all around. Quite as frequently the trimming is of one length throughout Black silk fringe and bright red cashmere were the materials here, a narrow front of white chiffon and lace insertion on the bodice being framed by black chiffon jabots, If by the time fall brings cloth gowns into more general use, designers will set themselves to planning schemes for trimming entire dresses with fringe they will open up a new field for artistic ef- fort As they're not slow to enter new fields. 1t is a safe guess that they will take this course.
 Brown and white chiffon and figured veils are again being worn curtain-wls Baby ribbon is run through a hem in the upper edge. and by this the veil is tied about the hat, the ends hanging straight down, the lower edge entirely unconfind. If the hair needs protection the veil may be fastened in the back against the hair, being left free under the chin. Thus worn the veil does not add to the discomfort of heat. For trav- cling and for all summer jaunting the fashion is to be recommended.

OIL ON RO4 DS.

oil has been used with good results on the roadbeds of railroads, ana II IS believed by some who have looked into the matter that it can also be used with good results on ordinary roads Des Moines, Iowa, is making preparations to experiment with crude oil as means of road improvement. The oil is to be furnished by the United States depart ment of agriculture, and the board of public works of Des Moines is to sprinkle it over some of the country roads which lead to the Tawkeye capi- tal It is claimed by the advocates of oil as a good roads agent that crude petroleum, sprinkled over roadway, prevents the destruction of roads by wa ter. It also is claimed that an oil-eoak- ed road is dustless, because the oil keeps the road in a moist" condition Major Meigs of Keokuk, a civil engin- eer in the employ of the government, has made a study of the good roads subject and has tested the effect of crude oil on country roads. He seems to be of the opinion that a fabricated road is good thing, for he is an ad- Vocate of the greased highway. Major Meigs estimates that twelve-foot road way can be improved with oil at A price of $1.10 barrel at a cost not to exceed $141.50 mile, putting down the labor at standard rates. One barrel of oil is said to be enough to improve fifty feet of road twelve feet wide.

CENTRAL AFRICAN METEoR1TEs

CENTRAL AFRICAN AUTHORITIES.
 The fine representative collection of meteorites in the Department of Miner als in the British Museum has just been enriched by four stones which were seen to fall on the morning of January 25 last in native villages on the eastern slopes of Mount Zomba, British Central Africa. Two of them, completely en- crusted and weighing fourteen ounces and seventeen ounces respectively, are presented to the trustees by Alfred Sharpe c. B. Her Maiestv's Commits
 sioner and Consul-General; part, weigh ing twenty mine ounces, of a third stone by I. F. Cunningham Acting Collector of Revenues. It was about 8 o'clock on the morning of January 25 that there was heard at Zomga a crash like thuu- der, the reverberations lasting for a few minutes afterward The denotation was heard at Chiromo, situated about ninety miles south of Zomba, and at Fort Johnston and beyond, a distance of about seventy miles in the opposite direction. Zomba was thus roughly the center of the district over which the actual explosion of the meteorite took place. About 9 a, m. news reached the Residency that several stones had fai- len in native villages on the eastern slopes of Zomba Mountain, which is sit uated immediately behind the Zomba

An Opportunity Offered in Fringe.

Fringe trimmings are attracting Wo- mems liking in good degree considering
 that they are, to say the least, not in- expensive. Cheap sorts are to be had now, and according to all precedents there should be still cheaper kinds on the market before long, but none of Fringe makers may put forward a sort that will not cost much and that will give good wear, but at present it can be safely stated that the most economical grade is, if not the best, at least some
 genuinely good one. That means out lay, but it saves one from the mortified

NOT 4 NATIONAL HOTTDAy

An official of the department of iue- tlce Tn Washington has been much sur prlsed by the result of a legal fnvesti
 gatlon which he has just concluded and his discovery will be surprise to many others. He had always supposed that the United States had a national bo,i- day or holidays, and that the Fourth of July was one of them if not the king bee in the holiday line. It has always been called OUT natal day, the birthday of independence with a big B, and all that sort of thing, and he took it for granted that it was consecrated to lib- erty and independence by some express sion in the statutes of the land, but an investigation reveals the fact that there is not line in the statutes on the sub feet, excepting here and there it is spoken of as a legal holiday But it is no more of national holiday than is the 22d of February, and by no means as clearly defined as Decoration day. This fact was bad enough, he adds, and it may be thought that it was overlook ed, but there is not line in the statutes of any of the States of the United States giving the Fourth of July any mention or preference in the matter of honor. The glorious Fourth is a legal holiday all right enough, and is pretty generally recognized, and it promises to be more generally recognized this year than ever, particularly in the South, but it is not a national holiday, and has never been

The large development of the milling industry in Brazil is injuring the trade In 1o11r we have long had with that co,,ntry. and the Baltimore Sun says that delegation of Baltimore business men will go to Washington to discuss with Commissioner Kasson the possibl- itv of putting some sort of pressure up- nm Brazn for the preservation of 9 val uable traffic. We formerly exported soo.0OO barrels of flour per annum to Brazil, but the exports now amount to onlv Oo,oO0 barrels. Wheat is admitted info Brazil free of duty, whereas there ;s duty of fifty cents barrel on flour. The Argentine capitalists avoid the dutv on flour by establishing mills in Brazil. with the result that their flour aisnlaces ours. As our exports there are ;, +be form of flour we cannot be on an

The movement to make a national park out of the civil war battleflelds in Spottsylvania county Virginia, is a good one. The State of Virginia is willing to transfer the land to the na- tional government and army engineers have already gone oyer the region on a tour of inspection and survey. The dis trict to be included in the park will em- brace the battlefields of Burnside, Hooker and Grant in their successive campaigns against Richmond, or, spe- officially, those of Fredericksburg, Cham cellorsville, the Wilderness and Spott- sylvania Court-House. The army en-
 gineers report that there has been scarcely any change in the scenery or tonography of the region since the great armies of the North and South made war over 1t. For miles through woods and fields can be followed the earth works of the two sides running in al- most parallel lines.
