The Four Track News.

There is much of education and enlight-
eminent in the dainty little monthly maya
zine, The Four-Track News" which comes
to us from the editorial workshops of the
passenger department of the New York
Central & Hudson River Railroad Company.
Its pages are filled with interesting matter
regarding travel, our expanding commerce,
and the development of our transportation
facilities. The January number is devoted
largely to California, the idea of the editor
being to give special attention each month
to that portion of the world to which people
are at the time travelling The leading ar
ticle on this subject is 1.-The Land of the
Sunset Sea- written by Luther l.. Holden.
Other interesting features are Egypt Then
and Now, "0Oy George FADE; "The Ro-
nance of Reality" by Jane w Guthrie; a
sketch of Hudson, New York, by H R.
Bryan, and much that is entertaining in
verse and well-edited departments. There
are also valuable contributions on the cul-
tivation of prunes, olives, grain and sugar
beets. 90 cents per year, 5 cents per copy.
Business communications should be ad-
dressed to George H. Daniels, General Pas
senger Agent, Grand Central station, New
York city.

OUR DUTY TO CUBA.

The peace of Cuba is necessary to
the peace of the United States; the
health of Cuba is necessary to she
health of the United States; the indie
pendence of Cuba is necessary to the
safety of the United States. The same
considerations which led to the war
with Spain now require that a COM
mercial arrangement be made under
which Cuba can live.-Secretary Roots
Report.
L most earnestly ask your attention
to the wisdom, indeed, to the vital
need, of providing for a substantial
reduction in the tariff duties on Cuban
imports into the United States. Cuba
has in her Constitution affirmed what
we desired, that she should stand, in
international matters, in closer and
more friendly relations with us than
with any other power; and we are
bound by every consideration of honor
and expediency to pass commercial
measures in the interest of her mate
rial well-being. - President Roose-
Velt's Message.

DICTATES OF FASHION.


The camelia is the favorite flower
for hats in Paris, not only in white
but in colors as well. Pink and white
camelias with knot of black velvet
decorate one hat, and again you see
a bunch of bright red ones with glossy
green leaves on a sable hat.
A handsome gown in black and sill
yer showed bands of maltese lace on
fine net, with deep lace hounces in
black chantilly lace, sprinkIed with
the tiniest silver sequins. A touch Of
Indian gold thread embroidery at neck
and sleeves gave finishing touch.
Gun-metal panne attracts consider
able attention in the gay world. 1t
seems destined for ceremonial uses.
An opera cloak, visiting dress or
simple piece of millinery are built"
of the beautiful glossy fabric. The
darkest shade of gun metal is even
handsOmer than the paler tint.
Handsome buttons are the rage this
season, and at their best they are real
ly articles of virtu, hand-painted and
enameled. Semi-precious stones are
very much worn in this form, as well
as in every other, and there are tur-
quoise and topaz buttons, buttons Of
coral, amethyst and amber used on
tailOr-made gowns.
Very effective for a headdress for
evening are two peacock's feathers
made entirely of sequins in colOrs, re-
producing the effect of the feathers
with remarkable accuracy. The two
feathers are carried straight up from
two small knots of black velvet, which
finish a band of the same material,
which is to be carried around the coil
of hair
Tight-fitting skirts have provoked
rivalry in petticoat makers, who are

the elastic fabric fitting like a glove
to the figure. Silk ruffles finish these
skirts to adepth of u or Il inches.
Black silk is now much worn, and
though rather old-IoOking and not be-
coming to everyone, is undeniably
serviceable and useful A typical
black silk gown is made with perpen-
dicular tucks on the whole of the bod
ice and skirt, ending about the knee
line on the latter, the fullness spread
ing into a deep fiounce. The sleeves
are also tucked throughout their en-
tire length, and, like the skirt, end in
a frill.
