A Progressive Word Game.

So many people object to cards but
still wish to entertain with a progress
sive game. / think this will suit al
most every one, and it is a real ex-
citing play, too. Get a box of ana
grams, costing 25 cents; several sets
may be needed if the party is large
one. Choose partners and tables as
for any progressive game, then the
hostess places a small heap of letters
in the center of each table, telling the
players that their words are to. be
names of books; when the bell rings
the first lady at each table turns a let
ter and places it face up so that all
four players see it at once. The first
person who names a book beginning
with the letter claims that word and
takes it to her side; the next player
turns letter, etc. When the bell
calls halt" the partners at each
table add up their combined words
and the winners Cor losers as the
hostess decides) progress to the next
table. At the next table they have
another word, say Cities" Each
table makes different class of words.
The names of flowers. birds, famous
people. mountains, rivers, colleges,
Bible characters, etc. Prizes are
awarded as for any progressive game,
and refreshments are served at small
tables.

TRADE EGETSSETBACK
Gradually Improving Temper Of 6usl'
ness Checked by Contest Over
Railroad Rates.

New York.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s week.
ly review of trade says:
The gradually improving temper OF
large business during the last two
weeks has been checked by the irri-
tating contest over railroad rates. The
effect of this upon the trade situation
can not yet be measured.
Sharp competition in the pig iron
markets has resulted in further price
concessions. This weakness is gen.
eral in practically all directions, and
some producers who had been unwill-
ing to lower quotations are now meet
ing the views of consumers.
Cotton goods were affected adverse
ly by the break in raw cotton, buyers
hesitating until more stable condi-
tions appear. Staple prints were re-
duced half a cent a yard during the
week, and more business is coming
forward now. Drills and sheetings
are in moderate request, and bleached
goods are selling somewhat more
freely. New lines of underwear for
spring are being opened, and new
price list on cotton duck has gone
into effect. In mems wear stock
goods are being offered and purchased
at favorable prices for buyers. A bet.
ter inquiry has developed for certsiE
lines Of cheap dress goods for imme-
diate and future delivery. The yarH
market rules quiet, but cotton yarns
snow more firmness. The trend O.:
dry goods trading in primary circles
is conservative, but, generally speak.
ing, values are showing a firmer ten
.dency.
Footwear conditions continue decid-
edly unsatisfactory. New orders re-
ceived through salesmen on the road
and by mail are of small volume, and
reserve orders in the hands of many
New England manufacturers are run
ming very low. Trade in leather is
unsatisfactory, and some tanners are
making concessions to clean out some
accumulations Of undesirable lines. A
dull and weak market continues in all
kinds of hides.
Bank exchanges this week made
quite satisfactory increase as COM
pared with the corresponding week a
year ago, total exchanges at all lead
ing cities in the United States aggre-
eating $2,559,81O,755, an increase of
81 per cent compared with last year.
New York city reports an increase,
and outside that center there are
gains at almost every city, some OF
them being large, notably Philadel-
phia, Pittsburg, Cleveland, Mime.
apolis, St. Louis, Kansas City, New
Orleans and San Francisco, Boston,
Chicago and Cincinnati again report
losses. Compared with 1905 losses
are general, due to the fact that the
week that year contained one more
business day.

A Farewell Shower.

This month brings numerous fare
wells, along with its gaieties; for com
mencements and weddings usually
mean partings. A favorite teacher 60
ing abroad for her vacation was the
recipient of such a novel shower
that | could scarcely wait to tell the
department readers all about it.
OF course, on short vacation jour
neys baggage is to be considered, and
her friends did not wish to cause in
convenience by their kindly atten-
tions, so one of the girls said: Lets
give her Europe shower and they
did. There were envelopes, great
and small; some contained safety
pins, some hair pins; wee one held
court plaster, another layer of alb
sorbent cotton; one clippings of jokes,
several were steamed letters. One
bulky affair had chewing gum and
fruit tablets, the latter wrapped in
waxed paper like caramels. Oh, yes,
one neatly tied envelope had needles
and various threads wound on card
board, with a card containing various
sized buttons. The envelopes were all
placed in a denim bag to hang on her
steamer chair.

Rosebuds on Sinners.

New evening slippers, especially for
young girls, show embroidery on the
toe of pink rosebuds. The idea is
quite pretty, and the slippers go very
well with girlish gowns of white tulle
and chiffon, which have pink roses
at the belt and on the sleeves.
Those who like the effect and are
not able to get it in embroidery can
make a pink rosebud of satin and ap-
ply it to the slipper instead of a
buckle, mounting it in a rosette or
bow of white or pink tulle.

ABLIXIH 0FK KZOJ ~Se

~ HE Union Pacific railroad has
discovered a new use for billy
goats and every day at half
hundred stock feeding stations
on the line of the big railroad
system, solemn goats with long
white boards act the part of Judas,
Turing unsuspecting sheep to their
doom. Little did the grave members
of the Interstate Commerce commits
sion think when they made a ruling
that live stock en- route from the great
western ranges to the packing houses
along the Missouri river, should not
be kept aboard railroad trains for
more than 28 consecutive hours, but
that, at the expiration of that period,
the animals should be taken from the
cars and given water and provender
that the ruling would be responsible
for the creation of a band of goats
trained to ingratiate themselves into
the confidence of innocent little lambs,
matronly ewes and stately rams and
bring these down to their death.
But such is the case. And the Union
Pacific railroad has flock of goats,
ach individual member of which
can do better work along the
lines for which it is trained than half
a dozen men could do in twice the
time.
When the 2S-hour law went into
effect the Union Pacific railroad found
it necessary to build big feeding yards
at numerous points along its line-in
fact, these yards were installed about
every 25 miles from end to end of the
big system. During the shipping sea-
son that railroad brings hundreds of
thousands of sheep from the great
ranges of Wyoming, Colorado, Utah.
Idaho, Oregon, Montana, California
and the southwestern states to the
packing houses at Omaha. Under the
new law it was necessary that these
sheep be unloaded, fed and watered,
and then reloaded every % hours.
Those men who have ever attempt
ed to drive sheep will remember how
difficult the task is, especially to get
the animals headed in the right direc-
zion. "As timid as a sheep" is
proverb, and its truth is proven every
day and every hour wherever sheep
are handled.
If the sheep are in the stock cars
it is a big job to get them out. Efforts
of the attendants to get them to leave
the cars usually result in the whole
bunch, crowding up in one end and re-
fusing to go out the door. Sometimes
it was even necessary that each indi-
vidual sheep be actually lifted up and
taken from the car.
And sometimes this 28-hour limit
expired in the dead of night, when the
sheep were all lying asleep on the
floor of the car. At such times it was
almost impossible to unload except by
the hand" method. At times half an
hour was consumed in unloading a sin
gle car.
After the sheep were fed and wa
tered came the reloading, and again
there was trouble, almost as much as
when unloading.
The railroad found it necessary to
maintain large force of men at
each feeding station, it being found
more economic to do this than to
spend hours and hours loading and
unloading a train. This cost money,
and lots of it, but there seemed no
means of avoiding the expense. There
stood the United States courts ready
to infiict a $1OO fine every time a car
of sheep was not fed and watered
every 28 hours. Employing the men
was cheaper than fines.
