SOME RAILROAD FIGURES.

Since 1893 the railroad mileage of the
world has increased only one mile in
II, and since 1896 only one mile in 50.
For something like Is years the rail-
ways of the world have been increasing
at the rate of $4,000 miles per year.
The grand aggregate is now put at
443, 100 miles.
The total length of railroad in the
world amounted in 1897 to 454.730 miles,
and in the five years from 1898 to 1897
the total increase was 34,485, or S.9 per
cent. The same year the total length
of railroad in the United States was
1s4,27s miles, an increase in five years
of 3.6 per cent. North and South
America and the West Indian islands
are credited with over one-haf of the
total mileage. or 236,21s miles.
OF lines now in operation there are
only 81 miles in all China, to which the
Chinese railway to Newchwang, when
completed, will add 10 miles, and the
Russian lines now building in Man
churia will add 400 miles. The only
line which is actually under construc.
ton is the Lu-Han road, which runs
from Picking to Hankow, passing
through the provinces of Chilli, Honan
and Hupeh. This will have a length Of
about 700 miles.

FEMININE FASHIONS.

Parasols of the material like the gown
are the correct thing to have.
A novelty in wraps is half coat of
face, rounded up the back and trimmed
with ruff1es of chiffon.
Skirts of many of the thin gowns are
tucked down several inches at the back,
thereby giving the desired fiat effect
and some fullness at the same time.
Hats of black brussels net run with
enthusiastically narrowstuck very close
together are one variation of millinery,
and again you see hat brims lined with
tucked chiffon. "
Foreign fashion notes tell us that
mitts are worn instead of gloves with
ball and dinner gowns. They are pre-
sumably made of lace and fastened to
the sleeve.
Long, slender white wings are one
of the special features of millinery and
are especially pretty on the white straw
hats trimmed with white tulle or chit
fon and black velvet bow with stun
ming buckle.
