The dancing slipper has a moderate
French heel.
Tan and brown shoes are no longer
correct, though an exception may be
made where a brown dress is worn.
Low shoes are worn by some women
all winter, but the more correct walk
ing shoe is high. A new and not very
becoming height is a little above the
ankle like a boys shoe. These are
swagger, but make the ankle seem
clumsy. No one wears tight shoe
now. The foot must look comfortable,

and a squeezed tight shoe is as bad
form as squeezed glove.
The stylish trick with carriage folk
is to brave all degrees Of chill without
any sort of lap robe, but carriage
wraps are rich and elaborate, never
thelese. The reason Of this may be to
provide a better showing for the car
riage gown; certainly these exquisites
would feel 1t loss to hide such finery
as enters into the wraps. Here is one
in royal blue velvet. Along its fronts
was beautiful knife pleated ruffle of
black chiffon edged with black satin
quilting, and next this appeared finish
of black silk passementerie. No pro-
lection is given to the knees by wrap
of this cut and 1t seems as If fashion
should make some such provision. Still
similar wraps are much worn In
black, for middle-aged wearers, they
arc frequently wondrously elaborate.

mer for the succeeding year by the i'm

The gross earnings of the railroads
of the United States in November were
ST.. 64S, 97S, a gain of SO per cent on
the same month last year, and 1874 per
cent. better than in November, 1892
Taking the leading systems of railroads
In the various sections of the country
together for comparison, Duns Review
finds the Southern, Central Western
and Granger roads making the best
showing of gains. The Southern roads
in the first half of November averaged
a gain of 1856, 165, or go per cent over
the first half of November 1898, being
excelled only by the Changers, with
gain of 1921 per cent, the Central West
ern. with a gain of 11.3 per cent, and
the Eastern roads, exclusive of the
trunk lines, with gain of 14.7 per
cent. The Southwestern roads gained
but 2.S per cent. and the Pacific but 81
per cent. The greatest gain was that
of the Canadian roads, namely, 49,
ner cent. The increased iron business
of the South is said to have increased
largely the earnings of the Southern
railway and the Louisville and Nash
Nille.

From investigation made in Vermont
1T is believed that the soil of that State
contains in workable quantities de-
posts of magnetic iron equal in grade
TO the famous Franconian ore in New
Hampshire and in Chateaugay, New
York. The deposits have been found
in Bethel, and the report as to the
quality is made by Professor c. HI.
Richardson Of Dartmouth. He reports
MISC evidence of good deposit of ore.
Ut is found in soft mica schist, which
can be worked easily, appears frequent
1y upon the surface, and widens below
the surface. Already Boston capitalists
have bought large part of the land
on which the deposit is found, asd 1t is
said that operations for the reduction
of the ore will begin soon.

Experiments are being made at
Vienna on the possibility of commune
cation between balloons by wireless
telegraphy, and they have met with
some success A captive balloon takes
the place of the tall mast as used in
the Marconi system. A copper wire Is
stretched between it and the earth,
where the transmitting apparatus is
placed. The second balloon, which as
cends freely, carries the receiving in
strument and is furnished with wire
sixty feet long hanging downward from
the basket. The ballons received and
transmitted messages up to distance
of six miles and at an elevation of
about mile. OF course, the great diff
ficulty will be to establish a transmit
ting station in free balloon.

A German traveller has discovered
some quaint epitaphs in a Tyrolean
cemetery. On tombstone in the val
ley of Tux was this inscription: TN
pious remembrance of the honest widow
Ann Kriedl, 40 years long" A miller
is thus remembered: 'In Christian
memory of , who departed this
life without human assistance" A
farmer, whose initials only are given
and appears to have been the author
of his own epitaph, has this memorial:
Here rests in God r. X. He lived 26
years as man and 81 years as husband"
On the tomb of man who fell from
a roof and was killed are these words:
sHere fell Jacob Hosenknopf, from the
roof into eternity" This wall of
desolate husband caps the climax:
'Tears cannot bring thee back to life,
therefore l weep"
