Rumors of Competition.

Competition from various sources in the interior carrying trade has been threatened-or at least rumored-but up to the present time general knowledge of the matter seems to be indefinite.
 From Portland comes the announce ment that the Merchants and Miners Transportation Company, a new concern composed of eastern capitalists, has pur chased two Columbia river vessels and one from san Francisco for use this season on the Yukon. If this report proves true, it is likely the boats named will run only between St. Michael and the Panama.
 From Augusta, Me, comes news of the organization of the Iukon-Alaska Transportation Company, with Lewis Burleigh as president, to operate be- tween Seattle and Nome and to provide transportation by land and water for interior points. This company could scarcely cut any figure the present season.
 Rumors of certain other merged in- tcrests entering the Yukon traffic are not followed by positive statements, and it seems very probable that there will be nothing unusual in the carrying stu- ation this year.

RATES HIGHER

Incomplete freight tariff lists for the present season show q smart raise in rates all along the line. The flat rate to Rampant remains at $5S, the same as last year; but the list of exceptions seems to have been greatly increased and the percentages made higher all through the list.
 So far as we are aware no complete list of exceptions has been received here. The following, however, will give q pretty fair idea of the general run of rates. The figures represent percent ages above the flat rate of $5S:

SOCIETY FADS

n OW that it is the fad for the So
" ciety women to make as many
of their clothes as they have
time for, they should know how to fit
them. If one understands how to take
hold and overcome the little difficulties
in cutting skirt, all is plain sailing.
AS this is the time for tub frocks, 1t
will be best to consider the gored skirt,
since 1t is the style generally used for
heavy fabrics.
In buying a pattern take the waist
measure tightly around the small part
of the waist, being sure to use a tape
measure that is correctly marked and
will not stretch. The hips should be
measured five inches below the waist
line. and this measurement is taken
loosely. II possible, select a pattern
the hip and waist measurements of
which correspond with those taken. 1t
is often impossible to do this, as the
hips are frequently larger or smaller
accordingly than the waist measure
When larger, order by the hip measure,
and when smaller by the waist meas
ure, but never use a pattern on which
either is too small, as 1t is impossible
for the inexperienced to make correct
enlargements.
To shorten or lengthen, hold top of
pattern to waistline, and have some
one mark the length desired at bottom
always remembering that 1t is better
to have 1t too long rather than short
as it can easily be made shorter, but

once the material is cut off, it can

If the pattern is little short, allow
ance can be made when cutting the
material, or a. piece of paper may be
pinned on the pattern and shaped to
correspond with the edge. In fiounce
skirt, a portion, or all of the change
may be made on the fiounce; or part

The pattern must be firmly pinned

not fully understood by many women.
They not only show which cores go
together. but the notches must be
placed opposite each other on the goods,

All plaits, tucks, etc., marked in the

and were generally conscious of their

TEA BUGS AND TEA MITES.
They Are the Plaques of the Assam
Tea Gardens.

They Are the Plaques of the Assam
Tea Gardens.
Every animal and plant has its para.
site, and from this general law, it
seems, the tea plant is not exempt.
Two insects are described as spending
their lives in tea drinking. They are
the plague of the Assam tea gardens
and are known as the tea bug and tea
mite.
The mites spend their entire lives on
the tea plant and are never known to
attack any other leaf. They live in
families and societies ON the upper
side Of the full grown leaf and spin a
delicate web for shelter. They then
puncture the leaves and pump out the
liquid tn the plant veins.
They seem to become very dainty in
their tastes, for sprinkling Of mud
dy water over their floor and tea table
Is the only remedy known to check
their ravages. Even this is not al
ways efRectual
The tea bug is still more destructive
and Is evidently possessed of an ap-
probation of the best kinds of tea,
since It always attacks those of a
mild and delicate favor. Such as af-
ford harsh and rasping liquors are al
most entirely free from its attacks
