The popular color for morning suits
this season is brown. There are dozens
of shades of that color. The russet
browns and the dull browns, in which
there is a slight mingling of gray, are the
shades that go off best. Trousers have
undergone some slight alterations as re
gards shape since last year. They follow
the shape of a peg top somewhat, and
are worn loose at the knees and tight
over the boots. Stripe patterns are con
sidered better taste than checks
The frock coat is more fashionable
than ever, and only in a few details does
it differ from last season's shape. It is
considered to look very elegant on tall
men with good figures, but neither a
very tall, thin man or a little, stout man
outrht to wear a frock coat. It mak -s
the one look like a lamppost and the
other literally all coat.

Captain Glazier started on his ex

Those who stand by Nicollet s

pretended to discover, and that
instead of being ten miles from
Lake Itasca the alleged Lake Glazier
lias no existence separate from
Lake Itasca, but is included therein.
This scarcely corresponds with
Schoolcraft's theory, which admits
the other day. He said: "Judicious pad

Borne New Brunswick Superstitious.
A Portland lady says that her hired
girl invariably puts a pin in her mouth
when peeling onions, ana wnen asueu
the reason, said it was to prevent uer
eyes from watering. It is a practice be
lieved in among the people m new
Brunswick, where is her home, and ner
mother, now advanced in age, thoroughly
believes in all sorts of signs ana super
stitions. On New Year's morning sue
will on no account allow any of her
large family of children to take any
article out of the house until they have
first brought something in, a stick of
wood or any object, no matter how
valueless. The idea is that if the new
year is thus begun it will be prosperous
and more will come into the house than
will go out.
This woman would not, of course,
think of bejrinning any task on Friday.
It would be a long and arduous one if
she did. Neither would she take a broori
with her while moving the household
good3 from one place to another. Old
brooms would be left behind and new
ones bought. A cat also would be left
behind while the goods were bein
moved. It would, however, be safe to
return and bring the cat alone. To
dream of passing through dirty water or
that a train of cars passed the house is a
warning of approaching death in the
family.
An even number would never be al
lowed to sit down to a wedding dinner,
and at a marriage the carpet would be
taken up and the direction of the boards
ascertaiued, so that the happy couple
could be so placed that a crack should
not run between them during the cere
mony, for otherwise subsequent dissen
sion and separation may be expected.

Figures of Two Uig Railroads.
An interesting comparison was re
cently jnade of two of the greatest rail
road corporations in the world, one Eng
lish, the other American. The Pennsyl
vania system, regarded as one aggrega
tion, though it includes more than 100
minor corporations, represents 7,913
miles of railroad and a canal, a share
and bonded capital of $700,000,000, gross
earnings in 1890 of $133,000,000 and the
movement in the same year of 137,000,000
tons of freight and 84,000,000 passengers.
The English corporation referred to
the London and Northwestern has an
authorized capital of $533,877,979 and
1,916 miles of road, on which the gross
receipts for one year were $29,651,339.
The disparity in gross receipts per mile
is not extremely large, but the capitali
zation of the English line is vastly
greater, in proportion to mileage and
traffic, than that of the American sys

The greatest engineering feat in the

bottom of Ebervade mammotii vein, a
distance of three miles, through solid
rock, and will be eight feet square in the

The scheme of tunneling through the
mountains first occurred to John Markle,
who is to be president of the company,
