Little trouble is caused from slipping
belts, now that skirts fit so accurately
and that belts are allowed to follow a
natural outline. Pulley belts are being
perfected and are really useful. Made
of silk, shaped wide in the back and

coming and hold their place finely. The
gold ribbon belt that was fashionable
some years ago is of a sudden in favor

ing belted waist of some kind under

of all metal belt fastenings.

Fields, was brought into the closest
touch with the office staff, and so was
intimately cognizant of the personal pc
ouliarities and with the disposition of its
various constituents.
One old clerk, who had started as Of
flee boy to the firm named was called
S. Nevil but his baptismal patronymic
was generally shortened by his con-
freres into Swivel, a name which de-
scribed his temperament to a fine point
He was mean-spirited, little minded
hound and more suited to the stool in
pettyfogging solicitors office, where he
could have toadied to the rich clients
and bully ragged poor debtors, than in
the highly respectable and respected
one In which had an interest. How he

fell Ill with influenza, and during his

those of woman of gentle birth and
breeding, but her face which was Meth

those lines of patient suffering which

need to ask her, for 1t was plainly

BUSINESS Is BUSINESS,

Some who were almost scared to death
at first by the trusts have begun to see
that even the trusts may not be superior
to the laws of business. When it was
formed the Wall Paper Trust was near
ly complete monopoly. 1t embraced
nearly every wall paper factory in the
country, and its control of prices was
absolute. But it is inevitable that COM
petition will spring up in any business
that is known to give exceptional
profits. and this the organizers of the
Wall Paper Trust now know to their
sorrow. Since 1t established it's grip on
the industry several large wall paper
plants have been built in Chicago, and
they are selling vast quantities of paper
at prices under the trusts figures. And
this. too, before the trust has paid a
dividend on it's $1,000 900 Of common
stock. According to member of the
trust, quoted by the Philadelphia
Ledger, "The competition in the past
few years from outside concerns has
been of such character that it has be-
come virtually impossible to resist It,
Had we known as much about the bust
ness in 1892 as we do now the company
would never have been formed There
is an intention, it is said, to dissolve the
trust and let the works revert to their
former owners.
There will be more such incidents, and
by and by the trusts, like everything
else, will find their level.

DIR. Don Sang, a Chinese resident of

Empire, which is endeavoring to bring
in European and modern civilization
among it's people. Their idol, Kwang
Shu, has been in prison for ten years
through the influence of the Dowager
Empress. The latter is upheld in part
by the lower caste Of Chinese, the very
ones whom the different sects of mis-
sionaries have been endeavoring to con-
vert. First they were met by possibly
a Catholic missionary, who told them
that all they had learned heretofore
was absolutely false and wrong, and
that the Catholic Church was the only
right one. Shortly afterward they were
met by missionaries from the Baptist

A German electrical paper describes
a new form of arc lamp which has re-
Gently been patented, and is said to
have great advantages 1t does not con-
sumo carbon rods, like the ordinary
lamp, but maintains its arc between
platinum surfaces in a vacuum. The
lamp consists of glass bulb in the
interior of which, in place of the Gus
tornary carbon rods. regulated by more
or less complicated mechanism, are two
l. shaped pieces of aluminium pointed
with platinum. The arc plays between
these in a vacuum, the bulb being ex-
1lausted highly. 1t is asserted that reg
ulation, or starting the arc rather, for
1t requires no regulation, is accomplish
ed by a simple pendulum motion of the
bulb. The lamp is said to be shadow
less, and the arc incandescent portions
do not wear out.

rolling mills is also expected about July

shut down may possibly continue much
longer. The plan is at yet only mat

Birmingham advices are as follows:
Leading interests are not making the
bottom prices. Their orders for for

tons at prices above current values.
