AFFAIRS OF TI1E RAILWAYS.

Indications of mu lmproMtneat U Bailurn. The train record of Indianapolis lines show thst Sa the week endin2 April 7 there were received and forwarded at thta point 15,0S2 loaded care. AUhoazh this is twenty-eiefat fewer ears than were handled in the -week preceding, there was a largely increased movement in the latter part of the week. Ilad the movement heen as heavy in the early part of the week a handsome increase would have been shown, but it would hardly have reached that of the corresponding veek 1SS7. An increased east-bound movement is noticeable, mostly io train and Soar for expert and for interior New England. Lumber is foing forward in larger quantities than for some time past. There is a healthy east-bound ia-veraent of live s toe sr., and after this week it is highly probable that the comparisons will be more favorable, as the point will have been passed where tbe rush was made to get business tailed before the takitg effect of tbe interstate law. Westward, the tnnnaee is large, exceeding that of any former years in April. Each year is showing a heavier tonnage west-bound over Indianapolis lines tban tbe preceeding one, and as the West and Southwest develop the increase will doubtless become more noticeable. As dull as freight traffic seems to be, over two thousand ear-loans of west-bound freight from the seaboard for this city and points in the West and Southwest passed over Indianapolis lines last weefc. In this statement strictly line freieht is referred to. Norta-aod south roads are doing a good business for a spring month, lumber forming an important part of the business they are handling. Fortunately all roads are disposed to maintain rates and range their business Idj the activity of their agents or the popularity of their line, not by the one which can' name tbe lowest rate. Southern produce from this on for some weeks will be one of the features of north-bound traffic The roads put on today faster trains to handle the business. This class of traSie is increasing with each year. Local business has increased the last few days at least 30 per cent., the better country roads fhelpicg both in and out-bound shipments. Shippers were never so well satisfied with local rates as at the present time. For twelve months .freieht agents have been busy adjusting rates on the lowest basis that freights can be carried (and leave any revenue to the roads, and shippers who have investieated the matter admit that there is noroom left for complaint, at least o far as Indianapolis roaia are concerned. Be'low is given the number of cars received and forwarded at Indianapolis in the week ending April 7, as compared with the corresponding weeks, 1837 and 1836:

The Indiana dirison of the National Traindispatchers' Association held their sixth annual meeting yesterday in the hall of the Locomotive Brotherhood, and elected for thtf ensuing year the following officers: "-esident, C W. Buchanan, of the Bee-line; vice-president, R. B. Starbuck, of the L, D. & S. ; secretary and treasurer, J. J. P. Stickell, ot the Bee-line. The past year has been a very prosperous one with the association. In the Indiana division there are sixtyfive active members, and in the national organization over 1,100. This association, as well as that of the yardmasters, was first formed in Indianapolis. Five year ago train-dispatchers from different States met here and organized, adopting byrlaws and a constitution much similar to that of ( the Indiana Association. From year to year, as I the organization has grown, new features bave been introduced which have made the organization a eood thine for the train-dispatchers and for the roads. Several of the suggestions of members of the association bave been taken up, 'and after examination by the superior officers, 'adopted. In most cases the improvements have been in the movement of trains. The position of train-dispatcher has become one of the most important in tne railroad service, and the meetines of tbe chief train-dispatchers and their assistants are , doing much toward bringine about a safe movement of trains at high speed, and without delay at meeting points. The meeting of yesterday was made more pleasant by tbe diapatchers making a trip over the Belt road, on the invitation of V. T. Malott, general manager. Superintendent Whitcomb furnished an engine and two coachis, and the trip was made leisurely. The party spent some little time in looking through the stockyards and examining improvements on the line of the Belt road. An evening session was held, bnt nothing of Interest to the outside publio was transacted. A New Cleveland-Indianapolis Line. It is believed that the Pennsylvania people are playing a double role in an effort making to establish a new passenger line between Cleveland and Indianapolis, and have the cheek to demand a differential. The Cleveland Leader, in commenting on the move, says: "Tbe differential demanded by the Mount Vernon and Panhandle route between Cleveland and Columbus, Cleveland and Cincinnati, and Cleveland and Indianapolis, both ways, and from Cleveland to St. Louis will be considered at the coming meeting of the Central Traffic Associatiouf This question was referred at the last meeting to the lines interested, but they could not agree, and it will be referred back to the association. The differential demand is made by General Passenger Agent Wood, of the C, A. & C. The Bee-line, it is said, demands that the Pennsylvania lines be made a party to tbe request, inasmuch as they would be 4 he principal beneficiaries of tho differential. Tbe Pennsylvania lines have always been radically opposed to differentials, and therefore do not care to appear in the role of a petitioner for them." Personal, Local and State Motes. J. Copley, passenger conductor on the L, D. & E. road, has resigned, and bis train has been given to R. L. Lawson. promoted. Geo. L Schenck, who has been nominated for clerk of the courts of Warren county, Ohio, was for some years a train-des pate her on the Beeline. In the week ending April 7 there were transferred over the Belt road 10,545 cars. Belt road engines last week handled 649 car-loads of live stock. Robert Alexander has been promoted to the position of passenger conductor on the Lake Erie & Western road, taking tbe train run by W. B. Kay wood, recently deceased. A dozen passenger conductors on the St Louis & Iron Mountain road have been dropped from the pay-rolls since the first of the month. No reason is assigned by the management. Indications now are that there is to be a rate war to Texas and other Southwestern States. Tbe Texas Traffic Association is in a demoralized state, and threats of. rate-cutting are beard. Tbe Bee-line will receive from tbe Dayton ear-works, this month, six of the fifteen elegant passenger coaches buiMinp for them. The first new coaches are to be run over the Indianapolis division. Tbe Louisville, New Albany & Chicago road. In the month of ?Iareb, earned $153,064, a decrease from 1837 of $33,237. The Wabash did much worse, earning but $730,700, which was a decrease of ?212,36i General freight agents are much encouraged over tbe improvement in business the last three dar. and the largely increased inquiry for ears indicates that traffic the present week is to be much heavier than for some weeks past. The Chicago & Eastern Illinois will begin work on the link cf road between Swarlngton on the (1, I., St. L & C. . and Jlomeuce on the C. & E. I-. this week. Between Momence and Chicago the track is to be doubled this season. Isidor Obergfell to-day begins bis twentysixth year as a chock clerk for tbe Panhandle lines, fie was given employment on the road when John S. Newman, deceased, was its preileut, and it watt ki.own as the Indiana Central road. The Vandalia will to-day put on six work trains four n the main line and two on the T. II. & L. division. Before the seam closes it is propr-sd to make the track of the Vandalia the smoothest and mcit solid of any track west of the Alleghenies. - The fast time that tbe Pennsylvania people are making on west-bound freights shipped from the seaboard has aroused the New York Central, tbe Lake Shore and tne Bee-line. Special trains are to be put on. tr ade up of the best elasa of JJercfcaota . Diep&ich ; cars, and if ntcejiarj to

successfully compete with the Pennsylvania, a twenty-five mile per hour schedule will be adted. It is feared that this faat time movement will lead to a rate war, as tbe other roads which have not the facilities for making such time will meet it by giving lower rate. The interstate law went into effect on April 6, 1837, but rates in many cases wero not advanced for ten days, and it may be assumed that for another week the roads whieh carry eastbound business will make unfavorable earning comparisons with last year. ; Six miles of steel rail were laid on ihe Cincinnati. Hamilton & Indianapolis road last week between Julietta and Palestine. The road between Indianapolis and Hamilton, with the exception of five miles, is now laid with steel weighing sixty pounds to the yard. " Tbe officials of the C, B. & Q. road, Saturday, notified General Manager Henderson, of the Ohio, Indiana & Western, the "QV principal connection in this territory, that all passenger trains would be put on to-day, and tnn on the same schedule as prior to tbe strike. The Pennsylvania Company and the Vandalia expect, this week, to renew their contract with the United States postal department for five years for the fast mail service between New York and. St. Louis. The last few ?eeks the service has been quite satisfactory to the government. . Harry Crawford, as soon as he eets a little leisure will turn bis attention to extending the Indiana Midland to Fort Wayne. He expresses the opinion that with their road through to that point they could find a market in tbas territory for all tbe coal they produce from the mines which are opened or likely to be for some years. The Bee-line people are so well plsased withthe operations of the automatic air-break on tbeir stock trains that they have decided to put it in use on all stock trains, and, i s early as practicable, on all freight trains. Wben tbe stock trains are so equipped tbe tine between St. Louis and Buffalo will be shortened four to six hours. M. E. Ingalls, president of the C, 1.. St L & C road and the Chesapeake & Ohio rystem, is expected home from New York to-day. It is understood that but few official changes , will be made until the bridge over the Ohio river at Cincinnati is completed, and train commence running into Cincinnati, which will be in the early talL Wells W. Davis, who was buried yesterday from his residence, 37 Bates street, has been running engines into Indianapolis for twentynine years, and was one of tbe most competent and faithful men that erer stepped on a footboard. He ran on the G, I , St. L. & C. road when H. C. Lord was president ot the road. At the time of his death he was an engineer on the I., D. & S. road. General freight agents of Northers roads are feeling somewhat sore that the earnings of Southern roads have for weeks pact shown a handsome increase. Northern lines have been forced to pay some respect to the interstate law, while Southern roads have done as t'ley pleased about the matter, paving no more f-t tent ion to the long-and-short-haul clause than if there was no such provision in the law. LETTERS FR01T THE PEOFLE. The Coy-Democratic Disgrace. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal; Tbe good people and the honest voters of Clay county are very anxious to know why Sim Coy is not removed to the State's prison. Can it be explained? Is it not high time for the people to cry aloud at this disgrace? We want it explained if an explanation ean be givon. Brazil, April 7. A Voter. , Information Wanted. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal Has the superintendent the right to have coffee, tea, milk and lemonade on his table, while we pay board and don't have on oar table as good as he does? Dkat and Dumb Institute. A Mute. The superintendent has nothing o i his table not to be found on the teachers' and officers' tables. Teachers, officers and pupils alike have tea or coffee regularly twice each dy. If the complaining "mute" will make known his identity, he will, as soon as our cows are fresh, be served a glass of milk for his pains. Mamie Cotjghun, Housekeeper. Deaf and Dumb Institute.

Natural Gss In tne Street Li,mpi, To the Editor of the Indianapolis Jourjalt It is news to me and doubtless will be to a majority of our citizens, that Indianapolis owns the 2.709 gas lamp-posts on its streets. The city, it seems, baa paid $18 to $20 fo? each post, or an aggregate of about $50,000. Now would it not ''boom the tovn" if our thoroughfares were lighted exclusively with natural gas? Burners three times the present size could be placed in these lamp posts and furnished to tbe city at a cost not, in any event, to exceed one-half that of any other illuminant. . Other cities are putting up posts for liehting with natural gas. We, on the contrary, propose without investigation, to pull down these 2,700 posts, which belong tone, and rush headlong into some other scheme of lighting. Is there not danger that our City Council and Board of Aldermen will be starapedod and act foolishly? Citizen. Indianapolis, April 7. Dudley Foulke for Governor. To tbe Ed'tor of the Indianapolis Journal: What the people of Indiana need more than any other one thing is reform in all branches of the public service, and m order to cecure that, 1 suggest the nomination of the Hon. W. D. Foulke, of Richmond, as the Repablican candidate for Governor. He is more intimately connected with the efforts to reform the abuses in our State benevolent institutions that have disgraced this State tban any other man. He ia the peer of any man in the State in ability, and as a public speaker or aebater. With Dudley Foulke as the Republican candidate and ex-Secretary of State Meyers, or Court Ma;son tas his opponent, tbe Republicans would have a regular picnic, from the opening to the olose of the campaign. I am sure that Mr. Foulke is not a candidate for any office and will not be, but i theRepublicana desire a candidate that would make a red hot campaign by putting the Democrats on the defensive and keeping them there, Dudley Foulke is the man that could and would do it. A Bubnt District Republican. Garfield Park. To the Editor ot the Indianapolis Journal: The meeting held on the South Side for the purpose of expressing the feeling and wishes of the people living in the south of the city, is only the beginniae of the effort the people in that section of the city intend to put forth for the accomplishment of tbe end named. The people there have heen paying taxes, and paying cheerfully, too, for raising revenue to be expended on the North Side. This his been done so long that some feeling is he ing expressed that tbe South Side has not been treated with due liberality. The improvement of this beautiful ground is now demanded as a right. If no advantage would be realized by the North Side from this improvement there might be soma reason for opposing this request. Two streams run through this park. There is a beautiful trotting traok on it. All of tbe inside of this track might be made a lake from the water there. . Thus would be large enough for boating, for fish and water fowls. Qnite a number of beautiful forest trees are on tbe ground. It is close to the city and such improvements migrht be made there as to make it a popular plac of resort, daring the summer. In time beautiful drives, fountains, arbors and statuary would be placed there and people from a distance visiting our city would be attracted to the park and many person wonld come to the city to ssend a day or more in tbe shade and among th attractions there. This ground is the most valuable property the city base for affording attractions for strangers and pleasure for its own citizens. Let the work begin this spring. J. w. H. April 5. m A Practical Way of Saving Money. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: I see that Rev. O. C McCalloeb it engaged In a laudable work, Inducing laboring people, women and children, to save a part of their earnings by joining the "Dime Savings and Loan Association." Their very eflestive way of working is to send an agent among the working class, to explain its object, and to induce them to become shareholders by contributing ten cents or more a week. Now as tobaceo ia one of tbe moat expensive habits, and productive of one of the greatest wastes, as well as of much of the poverty that now prevails, I- would suggest that a special effort be made to induce the to-barco-uera to quit its use. and deposit the amount they have been in the habit of e pending for it, 'into, the treasury of the association. It that effort should be successful the treasury would show the ineorntto be many times more than 10 cents a week, say 25 cents. 50 cents, $1.00, and even in many cases, double that amount. One gentlemnn connected with tbe News came into my business-room and said that after be had read an article over my signature, in it about that expeasive habit, be sat down and made a calculation of his expenses from it, and found them to te $73 a vear. He at once determined to quit and now informs me that he has no disposition to return t it. Now, should. Dr. licCoUocb mii&lo&asieg

from that association be equally as successful as I was though unwittiaglr so its receipts would, possibly, run np to $500,000 a year. The amount of money paid for tobacco in this city is not less than $1,000,000 year, and much the largess portion of this ia paid by the laboring classes. The productive claasns. in anything that is neceasary for man's subsistence, are made that much poorer, . while the producer, manufacturer and dealer in tobacco, and who produce nothing1 for the benefit of m&nkind, are made that much richer. Tbe laboring man, who is now prating so loudly about capital oppressing him, is making capitalist! of them all voluntarily throwing bis hard earnings into their hands. A. S. Kingsley. The Thlrd-Pavrty Prohibitionists. Te the Editor of the Indiananolis Journal' It is not in a spirit of bitter denunciation against the third-party man, however much of a political Esau he may he, but in a p:rit of fairness, to he enlightened, and to be able to instruct others, that I ask any third-party Prohibitionist how he is going to prohibit the manufacture, sale and tbe drinking of alcoholic liquors in the State of Indiana this fall. Come now, I have been going to your meetings, both political and religious, for nearly two years, and to-night in trying to recall a solitary feasible plan suggested by any one of its learned votaries, memory fails me. and my mind only reverts to the long line of taiks on the eyil of intemperance, the curse of the traffic, and the bitter, loud, angry and unchristian abnse of any and all men outside of the talkers of reform and revolution reforming nothing, but revolting at all reforms. The Republican party in Ohio have said how they were going to reform the state of affairs in their commonwealth, and there has been a great revolution there. In the revolution there has been a vast improvement over the old state of things, and great good inures to tbe people. As a proof of this, the man ' who traveled over the State in the days ot "free whisky" and witnessed drunkenness in every town and hamlet in the State, now goes from town to town and from village to village where they are free-from the '. 'curse because there is no whisky there to curse them. Little by little it is going, because the people say it shall go. Not on the principle of ''because we can't make it go all at once, we will let it flow," buton tbe catch-as-catcb-ean' method,so to speak. Now if there is a better way I want to know it. Bnt to be constantly bowling about what ought to be done and vilifying everything and .everybody that opposes your methods, neither accomplishes anything, edifies nor instructs. I am in for do wnine then-urn traffic in Indiana; but I don't want to fool away anytime in discussing tbe meanness of a party who are trying to accomplish what has been done in Ohio, and in directly giving my vote to tho free-whisky men. Tell me how you propose to accomplish better results. Henry Walker. Kokomo, April 6. Watterson's Plea for Fraud, To the Editor of the Indianaoolls Journal: Mr. Watterson, in the April number of the Forum gives the Southern view of the Southern question. The article is deserving of a careful reading upon the principle that should govern all candid men, of hearing the facts of the other side carefully, and weighing our adversaries' arguments impartially. Halstead last December published an article entitled, "The Nullification of the Constitution by the Democratic Party, r which was almost wholly made np of statistics. So bald was it of comment that an addendum was required, which be afterwards published in tbe Forum, entitled, "The Torrid Zone of our Politics." . Watterson's first point is the old chestnut about "waving the bloody shirt." But this is too thin. The nullification complained of occurred m 1886, and will again occur in '88, and has nothing whatever to do with the war of 1861-5. The question is not one of black supremacy but of white equality. No Republican seeks to re-establish carpet-bag governments, but to prevent a further repetition of that fraud upon the Northern vote.so successfully practiced by the Democratic party in the last ten years, of retaining tbe advantage of counting the black votes for representative purposes while suppressing it at the polls. Mr. Watterson does not deny the fact. He frankly admits it. His argument is "You can't help yourselves except by establishing negro supremacy, which means destruction. Which should go to the wall civilization or an impracticable portion of the Constitution?" His cure is, "Quit aeitation. When sectionalism at the North disappears the Sooth will unsolidify." Now all this is nonsense and simply a repetUion of the old Democratic tactics with regard to slavery. From '40 to 'GO tbe Democratic party wore out its throat saying, as Watterson now says, "Leave the slave to his natural friend the master. Quit agitation when you do. slavery will disappear." No thoughtful man will concede for a moment that negro supremacy will follow herein the South if the Democratic party in good faith will cease its organized nullification of the fourteenth and fifteenth constitutional . amendments. The carpetbag governments will never again be attempted. The only consequence that will result from obedience to tbe Constitution of the United States will he the equality of the white vote of the North with the white vote of the South. That is exactly what tbe Democrats are afraid of and don't want. The Republicans have no need of tbe freud man's vote to elect tbeir President. But the Democratic party as now managed can't succeed without suppressing it, and at the same time counting it for the purpose of swelling the value of their white Southern votes. In this we have the immense advantage over our opponents. It is a simple case of honesty against dishonesty of constitutional obedience aeainst nullification. The fourteenth amendment makes ample provision for the political emergency that confronts ui Its language ia unmistakable. There is lothing visionary or impracticable about it. Tb remedy for the suppression of tbe black voi as it ought to be, is the reduction of t he reprise r tatiou that is based upon it. This is all the Hep lblieana ask. We simply say, "Be boneat; .f you suppress the vote, reduce the represent vion. " This the American people in the lone run will enforce. They will never permanently consent to the present fraud, which is simply wmkine at dishonesty and nullification in order to keep a party in power. Such tactics come too near Tweedism to succeed permanently. Here, then, is where Watterson is weak, and where his article, although plausible, lamentably fails. He assumes that the result of political houestv in this matter can be nothing bnt negro supremacy, whereas its only result will he that the political power of the Democracy, unless better management is substituted, will come to an end. Mr. Watterson saya: "Let us keep up the fraud lest a worse result come to pass." Such political morality will not bear a moment's analysis, and is unworthy of any thoughtful man much less of a great and noble political party. 1 write thia from the most promising of our Southern cities (built up almost exclusively of Northern capital), surrounded by chapters of history, in sight of great battle-fields and of the ruins of a false social system and the beginning of "new South" that inspires with its splendid promises. This "new South" that is so auspiciously beginninsr will surely come to grief if the Democratic party persists in its present suicidal courae of nullification. The rebellion against it will come from the North, not from the South. The Northern voter will never consent to count only one-half as much politically as his Southern brother. It is strange that such a delusion should be nursed by the managers of a great party! It is never safe to do evil that good may come. In 1861 the Southern Democracy rebelled to prevent a Republican being its President. In 1884. 1886 and 1888 they nullify the fourteenth amendment upon the same pretext. Tbe consequences will prove equally disastrous. The North is slow to move, but it will never submit to the present fraud upon its constitutional rights. Mr. Watterson's plea that the sole party defrauded is the negro, and he is not fit for American suffrage, is just as thin as his bug-bear about a race-war. If, as he claims, reconstruction was a blunder, nullification ia a worse one, and one wrong never remeiied another wrong. Thia is, in fact, the whole of Watterson's plea for and justification of what no one ean deny, the nullification of the fourteenth amendment by the Democratic party in suppressing and crushing out the vote of 1,000,000 f reedmen.

An Open tetter to Dr. IX. T. Brown. My Venerable Friend Your letter to me through the Phalanx of March 29 does me so much honor that I wonld be wanting in courtesy not to reply. Either you must have forgotten ome things or I have. Forty years ago you and I were pronounced anti-slavery men, and I claimed then and I claim now to hav been as sincere in my hostility to slavery as you were, but we differed as to the beat method of destroying it. You. with a few others, went off and formed a party for, that speeifio purpose. I did not think thtt the be?t way to do, but remained in the Whig party and voted for old Rough and Ready. There did nat seem to be much anti-alarery in that, but I voted for the best anti-slavery man for Congress that I could find. ! - Now you will remember that soon after that election tne slave power became more dariue and exacting than ever. They supposed that

yon 300,000 abolitionists were all there were, hence they proceeded to pass the fugitive slavelaw and other abominabie things. You will remember that four years later your party ncmbered only 150,00-, one-half of tnose who voted your ticket in 1843. finding that a distinct abolition party was not only an impracticable thing, but had no terrors to tbe siae-hoiders. You that year votad for Hale and Julian, and I voted for Gen. Scott, under protest as to the pla-fortn. In tbe language of Mr Gree'.ey I spat unon the platform but voted the ticket You will remember that soon afterward the slave power, estimating the abolition etreng h by the 150,000, proceeded to take possession of Kansas by force.. Then what? You will remember that early in 1856 a call went forth to the anti-slavery men of the nation, "without regard to former party affiliations" to meet in Pniladelphia, June 17, not to see how to abolish slavery, but how to "regulate" it. The leaders in that call were, four years before, leaders in the Abolition party that demanded the abolition of slavery or nothing. This struck me just where 1 lived I began to sea daylight on tfca slavery question, and I heartily joined in this non-partisan movement. You will remember that the platform said not a word about abolishing , slavery, but went so far toward recognizing slavery as a thing that had a rignt to -live, as to aay: "The rights of the States shall be preserved," meaning slavery shall not be molested in the States, bnt it shall be so "regulated" that it shall not go into the Territories. A kind of local option, you see. In this case you and your associates of the Abolition party came down to the level of ns common people, abandoning your party forever, and at the same time abandoning your platform and joining the great body of antislavery men in "regulating" the great curse out of the country, and we succeeded in about seven years in doing that which you, in your party method, bad always failed to accomplish. And now ray venerable friend, I recoenize you as a hero in 1844-48 and '52, but allow me to suggest that you never were more heroic, no never so heroic, as when in lS56you "suppressed your convictions" and came down to the level of the common people and said, let us regulate what we cannot' kill outright. That; is where I am to-day. I am as intense a prohibitionist as I ever was or as you dare he, but I am willing to follow your noble example and "suppress my convictions", wbiie I help my neighbors to "regulate" what we cannot at once prohibit, and it would afford me inexpressible pleasure to have your company and I co-operation once more. Iam aware that the darts of the party would at once be thrust at you, but the consciousness of doing a brave thing would sustain you. And we will be together if we live long enough. You can no more afford to occupy that isolated position now. "on a principle," than you could a third of a century ago. when you ceased to be a leader of the few and joined bands with the many to do a good thing. Stephen Gullefer. Crocheted Table-Mats. Philadelphia Kecord. Table-mats are a necessity, and none are so pretty as those crocheted of pure white German crochet cotton. This should be coarse enough to make the ridges stand up firmly and give sufficient body to the mat to make it of some use. With a fine steel hook crochet a chain of eighteen stitches. Work back with one single crochet in each stitch on each side of the chain, with an extra stitch at each end. Second row Work a single crochetin each lower loop until the eighteenth stitch shall have been reached; make three in this, three in tbe nineteenth and three in the twentieth, which will give fullness enough to make tbe mat lie flat Increase at the other end in the -same manner. Third row Turn the work and crochet back, taking the stitches in the lower loops and make one single crochet in last stitch, three in the next, which will be the center stitch of the last group of three in the preceding row, and so on, increasing always by three stitches in tne center stitch of each group of three in former row, and nowhere else. The sides of the mat are worked precicely straight. When a sufficient number of rows shall havo been worked to make tbe mat ot the desired size finish the edge with a row of double crochet and a row of shells. The smaller mats are begun with a chain of six stitches, join in a round, and work a single crochet in every stitch. In the next row work three single crochet in every other stitch, and continue by widening in every row in the centre stitch of the three stitches as described for the large mat. Finish the edge in the same manner. Thia set of mats readily sells for $2. Six constitute a set.
