Progression.

He changed to a progressive man
At the late age Of sixty-three
He iunnped the track where fogies ran
To run where thought is wild and Tree.
When first he saw a wheelman go
So lightly DER the graveled ways
He thought he surely could ride So
And straightway took the cycle craze
But. when he brought his new wheel out
And stifiy got himself astride'
Support he found he was without
lust as his iron charger SHE'D.
A motorcycle tried he next
Which all to atoms soon ne proke.
I'll not here quote his funeral text
For in three weeks again he spoke.
He turned his thoughts to higher things
And tried upon the air to rise
With the small help of canvas wings
He's now, we hope. beyond the skies

On nothing but the withered herbs

And yonder chest below the caves
Her gown OF satin holds.

Canvas Golf Vests.

According to the Philadelphia In
quirer, piazza girls at Bryn Mawr and
Wissahickon, and later at Cape May
and Bar Harbor, are making their sum-
mer canvas work golf vests for pet
brothers or favored SWANS. 1t is an
English fancy and by no means mex
pensive. The worsteds cost several dol
lars and the amount of work on one is
considerable. There are several stitches
employed, Russian cross stitch being
the most popular. The imported ones
show backing of yellow, but that, here
and now, is entirely tabooed, because
for golf it goes without saying
main color is red The effect is consid-
cred undeniably stunning. If you want
to spare yourself trouble, you can get
them through the Woman S Exchange,
but they cost $14, and there is no doubt
that the favored recipient appreciates
the gift far more when he has seen it
growing through long, lazy mornings,
under his'lady's fair fingers. They have
to be sent to the tailor to be made up,
with satin Innings and back, which
costs another $40; but they are effective
enough to fully warrant the expense,
and there is no danger Of their becom-
ing common.

Quotations have been high during the
past week on fresh fish, weather condi-
tons continuing unfavorable for the
fishermen, and light receipts being the
rule. There were 81 arrivals, but they
only landed 10000 pounds of fresh, mixed
fish. At Gloucester there were four
arrivals with mixed stock, landing H.
600 pounds, and four vessels from the
banks, with $4,000 pounds of fresh hall
but.
Cured fish have been in good demand
and steady at unchanged values. Re-
ceipts Of salt mackerel have footed up
263 barrels for the week. The market
Is strong, and good Irish command about

Secretary Frederick F. Dimick of the
Boston fish bureau has just issued the
Path annual report of that organization
filed with statistics, regarding the fish
trade of this port for the period under
review. He pronounces the past year
an unusually good one prices and de-
mand having been more satisfactory
than they were previously for a number
OF years. The report says:
The receipts Of salt and fresh mackerel
at Boston have been 5,445 pounds.
against 62,S36 pounds in 1897. While the
production Of salt mackerel IL the world
was 16 percent less than in the preceding
year, it Is gratifying to observe that the
receipts at Boston have shown an in
crease. The receipts of salt mackerel
were 31,329 pounds against 30. 1856 pounds
in 1897.
The worlds production of salt mack
erel, as near as can be ascertained at
present, has been 1885 pounds, against
80 pounds in the year 1897.

is taken TO its required place, where
an elevator takes the entire load up to
its platform, there to be transferred to
the cars.
The train shed, $40 feet wide by 500
feet long, is supported on four rows
of posts. The main span is 22s. 6 feet
long.
The headhouse covers 13 acres. This
great building is lighted at night by
800 arc lights and 5000 incandescent
while in the daytime acres of glass food

The power and other engineering
equipments provided for the operation
and convenience of the new terminal
are more complete and comprehensive
than FOR any other railroad station in
the world.
There is an elaborate system of inter
locking switching and signaling appa-
ratus for the yards and train shed, an
extensive power house equipment for
furnishing steam, electricity. compress
ed air and heat for the terminal needs ;
an equipment of elevators and lifts for
passenger, freight and baggage service
the heating and ventilating for the va
rious buildings, plant for making ice
for use in cars and restaurants and a
refrigerating plant for mechanically
cooling provision boxes and storage
rooms in the headhouse
An enormous amount of material was
used in the construction of this station
For the foundation upward of 40, 900
piles were driven and for the sheathing
of the train shed $50 tons of copper
were used. The electrical piping and
other piping required 90 miles of pipe
and the train shed 100, 900 tons of steel
And this big structure has been built
within two years. On Jan. 1, 1897, the
first shovel of dirt was dug, and ON the
first day of the present year the station
was dedicated to the public use with
much ceremony. About $15, 900, 900 is
the entire cost of the new station, 3d.
900, 900 of which is borne by the city
and the rest by the railroads using it.
