HOUSES THAT COST MILLIONS.

America can boast of no castles-for
castles and republics don seem to go
well together-but she can boast of some
Of the most magnificent residences on
earth. The country homes of some Amer
lean millionaires are, without doubt YER
liable palaces, even though they are de-
scribed as country homes.
Notable among these is famous Bilt-
more, the mountain home Of the Wander
bits in North Carolina. This marvellous
structure has been described the world
over. It is said to be one of the most
complete houses ever constructed, and it's
furnishings are rich beyond compare.
The Vanderbilt mansion in New York
city, and w. c. Whitney's famed marble
houses at Newport, r. l., are others that
come to the mind when palaces are be-
ing discussed. Another American home
worthy of being included in this class is
the George Pullman house among the

the prevailing style. They are snug upon
the hips and very f1aring around the
foot.
One notices a tendency to return to the
fur-trimmed skirt, and there is seen the
narrow fur border upon many of the
plain cloth skirts.
The c~ollette is universally worn and
gives the touch of fur so necessary to a
winter suit.
Skating hats are small, with soft
crowns of fur: They are toques or irreg-
ular shape, with a feather stuck into the
side and an ornament of some metallic
sort holding the feather in place. The
little toque is pulled down upon the head
in an indescribable way and is spiked in
place with a short, fancy hat pin-usu-
ally an animal pin.
Few skating girls wear the s%ealskin,
preferring the dainty fur toque, the be-
coming collette, the fur trimmings and
the bewitching muff. These sets cost a
very large-sized penny, but they are very
pretty.
The suitings used are either a mixed
goods or a very pale shade of gray
aluminium it is called. An entire skat-
ing suit of aluminium gray cloth was
worn by a pretty skater. The skirt, which
was rather long, was trimmed with a
and Of sable. Her coat was a cut-away,
close-fitting and without a particle of
trimming to relieve its plainness except
a tHy DOTuef OIL SABLE. Sne wore d COL
lette of sable and carried a mall sable
muff. Her hat was a black velvet toque,
with stiff, curling quilts upon one side,
caught under a dull gold buckle. Such
a costume is ideal if worn by a woman Of
good figure.
A dress of Irish suiting was worn by
another skater. 1t. too, was trimmed
around the foot with a band of sable,
and around the wrists with the same.
The jacket was a French blouse, which
bags very slightly in front. 1t vas belted
with a metallic belt with a big buckle in
front, set with bright stones.
The Irish suitings are very popular.
They are very warm, with a rough sur
face that suggests cold weather wear.
The smooth goods can never look warm,
no matter how comfortable they may
feel. The Irish suitings are Of mixed
colors, with a touch of red and green.
Scarlet Is always a cheerful color on
the ice, and shows to best advantage in
the lining. Many skating coats and
bodices are ined with scarlet, and petit
coats of scarlet silk flash merrily as the
skater skins past.
They are making artificial ice for
skating Kinks indoors, which makes the
sport a still more enjoyable one.

A short line is in operation between
Yauco and Ponce, a distance of %
miles, with two stations on the line at
Guayanilla and Tallaboa. This railroad
has an average annual income Of 81, $50
per mile. but it should be noted that
because Of the high freight rates, 81. 20
per ton for % mile haul, or 10 cents
per ton mile, a great part of the freight
carrying between Yauco and Ponce is
performed by OK carts, in successful
competition with the railroad. The
freight rates of the OK carts are not
much lower than those Of the railway,
and the speed is about the same. Besides
this excessive charge, the railway does
not offer the facilities which should OBJ
tain in this district, as it does not reach
to the harbor of Ponce, where the great
bulk of business is done. Bulk must be

Living by Not Eating.

In recent letter to a correspondent
General Sir Arthur Cotton attributed
his extreme age to his habit Of eating
very little food indeed The idea was
suggested to him by noting the small
quantity Of food eaten by the people Of
the east where he lived so long Suisse
quent experience confirmed his belief
that people should eat on an average
about three-quarters Of what they do
with absolute fasts occasionally if they
seem to be at all out OF order. and there
would not be a tenth Of the sickness
there is.
