A bright girl has devised an ex
ceedingly pretty decoration for he
mantel. As it is easy to accom-
plish and not costly, others who ad
mire it may adept the idea. 1t ha'
for foundation several yard OF mar.
row satin ribbon in red to match the
color tone OF the room. About ten
inches from the mantel a strip oi
ribbon is nailed across with brass
headed tacks, the ribbon then fol-
lowing the lines Of the chimney
piece, until an oblong space is en-
closed. This space is then filled
with criss- crossings Of the ribbon.
Into these regularly crossed ribbon
squares photographs are inserted.
Some OF them are Of friends, and a
number are OF favorite actors, sing.
ers, lecturers and authors, of the girl
who devised the pretty decorative
scheme.

A number Of changes in the Of
fetal classification rules governing
minimum carload weights have
been adopted by the official classi.
fication committee and became ef-
fective July 1. The additions to
the rules relative to car loads ma
terially increases the minimum

the minimum car load weight pro-
vided in the classification for the
article shipped is, say, 10000
pounds, and a car thirty-six feet
long is furnished. the railroads will
charge for not less than 4,OOO
pounds; if the car is fifty eight feet
long the charge will be for not less
than $1,000 pounds, and so on.
Many articles not formerly subject
to these rules have been brought un-
der the new provisions. The
changes and additions are an
nounced in supplements one and
two to classification number 81
Rule %, as revised, reads as fol.
lows: When articles subj ct to
the provisions Of this rule are LOAF
ed in or on cars thirty four feet and
over in length, the minimum weigh,
therefor shall be 10000 pounds
(actual weight to be charged fol

when loaded in or on cars urde.
thirty-four feet in length, the min.
imum weight shall be "a, 900
pounds (actual weight to be haiged
