VIL‘LAGE'WITHEAHISTORY.
the Part Fountain City Played in; Abol-
ishing Slavery. _
Nine miles north of Richmond, Ind.,
there stands the unpretentious village
of Fountain City, with its population
)of 400 or 500 ptopie. nust of whom
are Quaker-cor direct u-c..J€lZli:LIl.5 of
Quakers. In these days Fountain City
I is scarcely ever heard of outside the
borders of Wayne County; but a. half
century or more ago, when the artifi-
slavery .move‘menrt was sweeping
)through the North, the little settle,-
' ment was known the country over. The
I town has a historyvunlike any other
1‘ city or town in Indiana. It was the
I central station of what was known as
{the “Underground Railway,” and the
l
. house still stands that sheltered hun-
dreds" of fugitive slaves who were en-
route to Canada.
Fountain City was origin-ally called
Newport, and it was laid out by Quak—
ers about 1829.
gan the anti—slavery work in Indiana,
and the Newport settlement was the
first to bring about means to assist in
carrying on the Underground Railway.
Levi Coffin, the president of the Un-
derground Railway, and one of the
great abolitio-nists of his time, was one
of \the residents of the town. In 1826
fugitive slaves began to arrive at his
home, which then and now stands upon
the main street oflvt'hc village. Benja-
min Straatan, Dr. Henry Way, Benja—
min Thomas, Samuel C-lxaxrles and other
prominent Friends became identified
with the work, and not a day passed
in which slaves were not brought into
the town, given food and shelter and
assisted on, their journey toward the
North. The burden of expense was
borne chiefly by Levi Coffin, who for-
tunately was wealthy. Three lines of
the “railroad” converged in the town—
onefrom Cincinnati. one from Madison
and the other from Jeffersonville.
Newport, or Fountain City, is still
’much as it used to be in appearance.
Many of the historic 4 landmarks stand:
as they did sixty years ago, and the
home of Levi Coffin will never be torn
aways—Cincinnati Enquirer.
PROFIT OF THE SUEZ CANAL.
An Extortionnte Charge for Vessels Pass-
ing Through.
The Suez Canal is just under ~one
hundred miles long. The enterprise, as
,every one knows, has been highly suc-
cessful from a financial point of view,
the receipts annually being consider-
ably over $15,000,000. This is due to
the fact that the saving to large ves‘
sels consuming great quantities of coal,
as against going round the Cape of
Good Hope, is so great that the Suez
ask huge rates, not to say extortionate
ones. t is true that, happily,-Great
Britain owns about half the shares
and reaps a very handsome profit; but
as, out of 3,500 vessels or .thereabouts,
2,200 are British ships, it is to some
extent like taking it from one section
of the community to give it to another.
uRecent'ly the owner of a large steam
yacht wanted to go as far as Ismailia,
a. distance of about forty miles, just to
see the canal, ”and come back again.
The trip would have only taken a few
hours, and the sum asked, according
to the scale of their rates, was nearly
$2,500. The owner very properly said
he would rather throw the money into
the sea, or, better still, give it to the
poor, than submit to such a. ridiculous
demand. It is easy to see the canal
from the railway, which runs alongside
it. It is a5 very curious experience
from the windows .1913 the train—the
trackiess desert on the one side and on
the other enormous vessels, the largest
afloat, perhaps 5,000 tons or more,
steaming apparently through the land;
because you only get occasional
glimpses of the canal itself. At night
these monsters of the deep have their
hundreds of electric lights shining
brightly, with a huge searchlight on
deck, to show, them the way, and the
sighrt is most picturesque, viewed from
the railway carriage windows of this
little line.—Tid Bits.
Source of Wealth.
Along the Mongolian borders of
China, there are thousands of farms on
which nothing is raised but dogs, of
a breed peculiar to this region. Each
proprietor keeps several hundreds of
them. They are of a large size, and
when eight months old are killed, us-
ually in mideinter, for the sake of
their skins. As a result of the severe
climate, they are ‘covered almost from
birth with a magnificent growth of
fur. Hence they are much in demand
among the northern Chinese as mater-
ial for winter clothing. They consti-
tute the only wealth of this desolate
country. In each family a certain
number of dogskins are laid aside as
the daughter’s marriage portion. Yet
they command no very high price
eight skins being required for a gown,
about 'two yards long, and worth some
three or four dollars. This would
make the average value of each but lit-
tle over forty cents, from which must
be deducted .the cost of sorting and
dressing; also of manufacturing the
garment. I
Why He Didn't Want to Go to “’37.
' Colonel Hunt says that a private in
the lst Regiment, Ohio, refuses to go to
war because he stutters.
“You don’t go to talk, but to fight,"
said the Colonel.
“But they’llp-p-put me on gag-guard,
and a man may go ha-ha-half a mile
before I can say, ‘Wh-who—who goes
there?’ ”
“Oh, that's no objection, for there
will be another sentry placed along
with you, and he can challenge if you
can fire."
“Well,” stammered the private. "b-b-
out I may be t-taken and run tlll'i. lgh
the g-g-gizzard before I var- ,»r- cry

RIBBON AND LACE m PROFUSION.
Sleeves Are Made of Different Material
fromthe Bodlce.
(By special arrangement with the N. Y. Sun.)
Trimmed skirts are here in great pro-
fusion among the lately imported mod-
els. Rows upon rows of lace iiiSertion
encircle the skirts of foulard and taf—
feta gowns as well as those of tram.-
parent materials. In some models the
deep circular flounce is almost entirely
composed of alternate bands of sill:
and lace insertion, either black or
white. 'Vhen the lace has a. straight
edge it is finished VVlilZih a tiny frill of
narrow edging or gathered baby rib—
bon. This sort of trimming is applied
to organdy as well as silk gowns. One
elegant imported costume of black taf-
feta has several rows of black chantilly
insertion around Ithe-olrcu'liar flounce;
beginning at the upper edge and leav-
ing a wide hem of the silk at the bot-
tom. Th-e bodice and sleeves are also
encircled with rows of insertion, of
which all the edges are finished with
a frill of narrow lace.
A detailed description of the use and
varied kinds of tiny ruchings which
flourish in dress decoration would fill
a volume, and literally miles of this
popular trimming adorn our new
frocks. It is made of chiffon, tulle,
gauze ribbon, and pinked silk, in all
colors, varying a. little in width, ac-
cording to the mode of using lit, and
also of narrow lace edging in both
black and white.
True lovers knots of lace insertion.
with the material cut out underneath,
spread their graceful shaipe over the
front and sides of some of the thin
gowns, and twins in and out among
yards of ribbon on others. Surely this
is a rib-hon season, a lace season, and
every other kind of season which can
be specified by variety in dress trim-
‘mings.
Another feature of dress which can
be very useful in renovating old gowns
is the sleeve of different material from
the bodice—not just anything that
comes along, *hovvever, for the sleeves
must be of handsome lace, fine em-
broidery, chiffon, or jeweled net, or
something which is a part of the trim-
ming 'on the gown. Still another thing
you notice in the new gowns is the
collar band. which is often without any
frills at all;' and, again, you see "little
pointed bars of silk. Velvet, or lace like
the band itsel-f directly alt rthe back.
The very latest whim is to cut the
band‘s. lit-tle wider, in slightly pointed
shape, at» either side of the fastening
in the back, to give‘ the effect of an
extra finish which is so becoming, and
add a narrow trill of lace lit-side. I
