~Gect saving would be. Rates on some
freight would be reduced greatly. on
some freight slightly, on some. per
haps, not at all But we can get some
idea Of the amount of freight which
might be Influenced. In the fiscal
year ending June 80. 1907. the total
amount of freight handled by the
railroads of the United States was
1,796, 336,659 tons. Some of this was
hauled a short distance, some long
distance, and some was handled by
more than one road, but II was equal
to 236,601 ,390,103 tons hauled one
mile. II the comprehensive improve
ment of our waterways should make
an average reduction of one mill per
ton-mile-the difference in the rates
on salt given above is 20 times as
much, or seven cents per ton mile-it
would make a saving OF over 1896, $780,
900 on the value of business handled
in the fiscal year.

MEAN LOWER RATES
EFFECT OF WATERWAY coMPETl-
TON ON THE RAILWAYS OF
THE COUNTRY.
DIRECT AND INDIRECT SAVING
Conservative Estimate Is That in a
Single Year It Would Be More Than
Enough to Discharge the Entire Ma.
tional Debt.

1t was stated in a previous article
that waterways produce both direct
and indirect savings in the cost of
transportation and also exert what
may be called creative effect. As
an instance of the direct saving it
was shown that the 100, 100000 tons OF
freight handled on the great lakes
In 1907 were carried for $3.50 900. 900
less than it would have cost by rail.
II the opinion OF the United States
army engineers Is correct-and this
opinion Is based upon results actually
achieved on the rivers of Europe
we have a number of rivers on which
when properly improved, freight can
be carried for less than on the lakes
and many rivers on which 1t can be
carried for much less than by rail
If. therefore, the plan advocated by
the National Rivers and Harbors
congress should be carried out-which
includes the Improvement of all ouI
Givers to such extent as shall be found
advisable after expert examination
the direct saving in cost of transporta
ton would be vastly increased II
would probably be increased tenfold
but If II were only doubled the direc
saving in a single year would be more
than enough to pay of the nationa
debt
But this is not the end of the bene
ms which the general improvement O
our waterways would bring, 1t is onl!
the beginning. Beside the direct saw
ing there is an indirect saving which
results from the effect of waterway
ON railway freight rates, for rate
are always lower on railroads which
meet water competition than on thos
which do net. The amount of this say

@ study of some sample instances.
Freight Rates Affected.
Freight rates from New York TO
Salt Lake or Spokane are much high
o. than to San Francisco or Seattle,
although the distance is much less, be-
cause goods can be carried to the Pa
cific coast by water, around Cape
Horn, while there is no waterway Of
any kind to the inland cities named.
It Is not the ocean alone that affects
railroad rates. Compare the rates on
nrst class merchandise to river towns
and inland towns situated about 250
miles from ST. Louis. Towns on the
upper Mississippi get a rate of S3
cents a hundred, inland towns pay So
cents; towns on the Ohio pay Al cents
inland towns in the same region
pay ST.
A still more striking instance, and
one showing the direct result of wa
terway improvement, is to be found
on the Columbia river Before the
locks at the cascades were built
freight rates on nails, and that class
Of goods, from Portland to The Dalles
were $40 per ton. AS soon as the
locks were finished and the steam
boats could get through, the railroad
rate dropped to two dollars per ton
less than one-third what it was before
That the difference was due to the
river improvement is shown by the
fact that rates were not reduced be
yond the point to which the steam
boats could run. For instance, the
rate on salt in car load lots was $1.5(
per ton to The Dalles, and 5000 pei
ton to Umatilla-$1.5 per ton for the
50 miles with water competition ant
Ss.70 per ton for the next 100 miles
without. These rates have since beer
reduced as the improvement has pro
ceeded, and when the work is finished
and boats can run far up the Colum
bia river and to Lewiston and othe
point in Idaho on its principal tribu
tary, the Snake river. the people II
all that region will benefit not onl,
by the direct saving on goods carrie,

States.

BY MRS. KINGSLEY.

cheting ties. will do, though a regu-
lar macrame thread can sometimes be
obtained. A frame may be made of a
slab OF wood, into the edge of which
nails are driven to hold the cords
This can be tilted at any angle at
which 1t is desired to work. 49,
First, as a foundation, carry across
a length OF twine as wide as the ar
ticle you are intending to make. On
this foundation the upright pieces OF
twine are knotted, each piece In a
strand three times as long as required,
since each strand is doubled and Sc
cured in the center. The loop thus
formed is pushed from under the
foundation cord, and the two long
ends are passed through 1t until 1t
is drawn into a knot. This knot is
pulled tight, and is followed by all
the other working threads, which
are put on in the same way until
the entire width is covered.
The knots are the distinctive fea-
ture OF the work, and the whole art OF
macrame consists in doing them reg
ularly. It's variations are really only
different kinds OF buttonholing. Aft
err the foundation thread is covered
thus second lot OF threads is drawn
across the width to make the edge
firm. On this the strands already
on the first foundation are to be knot
ted again. Each strand now lying
under the second foundation is taken
up separately with the right hand
and lifted up and over, then down be-
hind It, and through the loop formed
by Itself. Doing this twice with ev-
cry strand completes the true ma
crane knot.
AS an illustration OF the working
OF pattern, give a simple diamond
design.
Counting six knots from the sec
ond foundation, take the sixth strand

sired slope, as guide. and work over

OF knots. holding out for each row the
strand then in the sixth place and

rows as close together as possible.

To close the diamond after making

tion and work one row with each
half OF the threads. Knot together

a single chain stitch after the first
and every succeeding row.

THE NEGBIGEE
BY EDNA EGAN.

Some models show several different
colors arranged under alternate rows
of lace insertions and pufflngs. The
simplor styles have wide founces of
allover lace, or lace trimmed or ac-
cordion-pleated founces, with mar
row hands of contrasting silk applied
as trimming.
Lingerie negligee are seen in hand
kerchiefs, linen, batiste, dotted swiss,
fancy dimities, cotton voile. EN-
broidery, laces and ribbons are freely
used to give the finishing touches.
The yoke and sleeves show the peas
ant styles, and the skirts are ar
ranged in banded or tunic effects. The
very simplest negligees are cut upon
kimono lines, with lace or embroid-
cry applied fiat as trimmings Mod
els in empire effect have wide box
pleats falling from the shortened
waist line and ending in slight train.
Most of the lingerie models are
white, but colored designs are some
times seen in the fabrics, and hand
embroidery In colored floss also gives
a color touch. Ribbons to match are
run through wide insertions lace or
embroidery, and are finished in ro-
settes and bows.
The loose wrapper is absolutely out
and house dresses are worn instead,
cut in one piece or in short waist and
skirt style. These are seen In ging-
ham, percale, galatea, etc.

Many OF the new negligees show
practically the, came characteristics
as the dresses themselves, the more
elaborate being in empire and
straight-line effects, with peasant
sleeves and draperies and tunics of
diaphanous materials. Soft cling
Ing fabrics are used. and there are
trimmings OF lace and embroidery.
Transparent tunics are hung from
the shortened waist line. especially In
the beautiful new tea gowns. and are
edged with bindings of rich embroid-
cry and silk ball fringe. Again, the
drapery may be composed entirely Of
black or white chantilly lace, or
worked in hand embroidery.
The chiffon and marquisette tunics
hang from the shoulders and are not
attached, but are made in loose three

more dressy touch over a plain tea
gown. These semi-ftted coats, ex-
tending TO knee depth, with deep
