 'To my surprise a tall, lantern jawed individual on the bench adjoining mine promptly rose to his feet.

What can be done by good manage | the Lake Shore railroad in the matter of trainloads In 1897, according to the | Railway Age, the Lake Shore averaged l trainloads of 321 tons but at present the average is 800 tons to a load. Some of the companys officials predict that 750 | tons will be reached. The Lake Shore has reduced car loading to science. As a matter of fact says the Age, tab is kept on every officer or employe who has to do with the loading or the trans portation of freight, from the humblest agent at a way station up to the divi-
 may see little better lading of cars and of locomotives than the one next before it. Records are prepared and
 carefully studied from day to day on which are shown the number of cars
 and the number of tons of dead weight,
 cars and lading hauled by each loeomo- tive, as we'll as the time consumed Tn
 getting over each division. The agents are watched likewise to insure the best
 packing of the cars at the outset The
 locomotives have tonnage ratings, and the vardmasters are held strictly to
 their duty to give to every engine that
 goes out its maximum load. Incidental Ky, the train dispatchers are checked as
 safeguard against overtime. Not the least of the advantages of the system that has thus been created has been the development of noteworthy spirit of emulation among dispatchers, yard masters and engineers.
 Such work as this will give stockhold- CTS in all wellmanaged roads cncour agement.

That business is business, and is like ly to continue to be so, is indicated by the fate that has already overtaken some of the 'industrials," and will over take more of them. The Chicago Pack ing and Provision company is the latest illustration of the truth that all is not gold that glitters. Stockholders or this company have been requested to delegate to a certain committee power to wind up and liquidate the concern. The company was launched with a oap- italization, in round numbers, of S2,500,- 900, of which s550O00 was bonds, S974,- 900 preferred and $974,00O common stock. The business was enormously profitable. The prospectus showed that in little over three months the concern made s40o,o For the first three years 15 per cent. in dividends Was paid on the common stock. Chicago Packlng common was said to be better than gov ernment bonds and 1t sold at large
 
 premium over par. To-day it is nom- inally $5 a share and actually next to nothing. For in the liquidation, it ap- pears, there will be just about enough money to pay off the bonds and the pre- ferred stock. The common stock never represented tangible assets but only "good-wilr' or earning power. Con- ditions in the packing trade have changed. Competition has been fierce Powerful rivals have forged to the front. 'Good-will'' and learning power"have sunk about to zero.
 When the real pinch comes the trust problem will not lodt as formidable as 1t has looked.

A woman is no longer likely to lose her grace of line when she sits down. Many experienced dis comfort from the way the old corset used to push up when its wearer sat.
 This straightness and fatness in front do not bring monotony in bodice arrangements.

FASHION NOTES.
Where Curves should Appear.


 Analysts of the results produced by the fashionable straight front find much to praise. Because it permits the figure to remain natural it develops a tendency toward flatness of front. A spread of figure in front view from waist to under the arms is recognized as an essential of grace but in profile the slant out of from rise of throat to bust line is SO gradual, it's blend with the straight line to the belt so soft that the front appears almost flat. At the bacts the curve in from shoulder line to waist is parked as much as possible, and the tendency to raise the waist line at the back little and to widen the belt there accentuates this curve, just
