There is renewed talk of a Hill trans
continental system. with Erie as its east
ern outlet, and either Chicago Great West
ern or Wisconsin Central as the connecting
link between Chicago and St. Paul. Mr..
Hill has, for two years or more, been a
very influential factor in Erie, and is under
stood to have lately very greatly enlarged
his holdings there. Mr.. Hill, by the way. is
still a large stakeholder in Pennsylvania
and Baltimore & Ohio though he Is said to
have fixed on Erie as his favorite. Mr.. Hill
stated TO the writer, not long ago, that he
regarded trunk line between the Atlantic
and the Pacific impracticable, although
he did not say that two or more connecting
systems, extending from ocean to ocean,
could not be managed to advantage under
one ownership.
1t is the expectation of those who believe
themselves to be insiders in anthracite coal
stocks that the anthracite coal properties
will, by the first of May, recover the en-
tire losses resulting from the strike and
that the record of the fiscal year ending
with next June will show higher aggregate
net earnings than in any previous year in
their history. The public has been assessed
without mercy to pay the expenses of the
strike, and it is not at all unlikely that the
estimates of the so-called insiders as to the
years outcome will be fulfilled.

Habits of the Car.

An account of the simple life led by
the imperial family at Livadia has been
given by high official lately returned
from the Crimea. The imperial couple
live as much as possible en- bourgeois.
The Emperor works till luncheon, after
which he and the Empress usually play
at lawn tennis. A few high officers and
officials are generally invited to dinner.
Three OF the little grand duchesses are
present at both meals, with their gov
ernesses, the Empress dining in a simple
white dress. high in the neck. After
dinner all adjourn to the drawing room
for coffee. Sometimes a card party will
be made up, during which the Empress
embroiders. AS a rule, the imperial
party retires after half an hour to the
private apartments. The Emperor and
Empress have greatly benefited by their
stay at Livadia. where, according to
present arrangements. they will remain
until after the Emperor's nameday,
which falls on December (old style).-

She dozes at one end of the range or
walks slowly about, pecking among
the blades of grass. The small sextet
keep close together. and if we watch
them for several minutes we will see
some of the things which must have

and little bills CAMERON the egg.
Unlike the hen, they are suspicious of
your every movement. but in Il short
time they forget that you are not a

object near their cage. They select a
