Lace Manufacture.


Until about three centuries ago lace was
made by the needle on piece of fine
woven material, the threads of which
were drawn aside to form holes or
meshes, held in position by a few stitch
es. In 1861 Barbara Uttmann, of Anna
berg, devised a method of twisting
threads round pins so as to form knot
ted or netted fabric; this was the real
origin of pillow lace, the making of
which gradually extended to various
European countries. The implements
used by handlace makers are few in
number, and inartifcial in character.
They consist of pillow or cushion, a
series Of bobbins or small cylindrical
pieces of wood, round which the thread
or silk employed is wound, and pins
which are stuck into the cushion, and
around which the threads are twisted.
The pattern of the lace is determined
by the disposition of the pins, and this
is regulated by holes pierced in piece
of parchment which is laid upon the
cushion. The rrocess of ace-making
is accomplished by the twisting together
of the threads upon the bobbins, and
their being woven among and around
the pins. The finest pillow-lace is made
on the Continent. The names of Brus-
sells, Mechlin, Valenciennes and Aien-
con at once call to mind the chief seats
of the manufacture. In France alone,
before the outbreak of the war, more
than 100000 women were engaged in
pillow-lace making, and their average
earnings were about penny an hour.
A good deal of lace is also made in the
Erzeberg, a mountainous district of Sax
ony, bordering on Austria. These peo-
pie form a sort Of race apart; the men
do the cooking and washing ar d attend
to the gardens, while the women and
children make the lace. By working
from morning till night they can earn
about sixpence day; they live chiefly
on potatoes and salt, but they are de
scribed as cleanly, cheerful, and con-
tented people. In England lace-makers
abound chiefly in Buckinghamshire,
Bedfordshire, the part of Devonshire
around Honiton, and near Coggeshall in
Essex. A fourishing manufacture has
also sprung up curing the last forty
years in Limerick. Concerning machine
made-lace we will not speak here. The

Gus, and the headquarters of the trade
still center at Noting Cham.
Some years ago an officer Of engineers
at Munich contrived an ingenious plan
for making lace without either human
labor or machinery. Having made a
paste of the plant on which a certain
species of caterpillar is accustomed to
feed, he spread it thinly over a stone of
the required size. He then, with a cam
el's-hair pencil dipped in Oil, drew the
pattern which he wished left open. The
stone was then fixed in sloping posi-
tion and number Of caterpillars placed
at the bottom. They ate and spun
their way up to the top, carefully
avoiding every place touched by the oil.
The lace thus made is extremely light,
a piece measuring 26 IL inches by II
inches weighing only Isl grains.-EUery

CANNIBALIsM IN PAST TIMEs-Mr. Full
ton, in one o. his San Domingo letters
to the Baltimore american, says:
There is no doubt that cannibalism at
one time had considerable sway among
the mountaineers, and that some YES
tiges of it still remain. During the reign
of Gefford, four men and four women
were brought to the stake and shot for
the offense, who died with all the en-
thusiasm that Christian martyrs have
displayed in their last moments. The
sacrifice of their children to their God
is the essence of their religion, and they
partake of the flesh and blood with all
the Christian sacrament of. which the
Lords Supper is partakep. .,a, t...
There is a priestess OF the order in
Puerto Prince, and it is believed that
the sacrifice is now performed in secret.
Since the execution of the eight martyrs
the sect is said to have increased to such
an extent, especially in the mountains,
that it is not now regarded as safe or
polite for the Government to prosecute
them any more. m lo Ht. U

Fashion Notes.

MOORISH styles of jewelry are coming
| THE favorite colors of the season are
green, lilac, blue, brown and gray.
NARROW black guipure will be very
popular for trimming hounces of grena-
dine and silk dresses.
WE are promised new style in the
arrangement of ladies' hair this spring
something in the Grecian order.
BoNNETs made of tulle or silk will
not be worn this spring. Black lace
will, however, still be used much for
trimming.
SUITS in two contrasting colors are
newer and will be more fashionable this
season that the costumes canaaieur.
PRETTY striped silks in light colors
fer summer, can be bought as low as
IS cents yard in New York.
SEAMLESS kid gloves are coming into
favor again, simply because the London
ladies wear them.
NETS for the hair, made of bullion
thread, are just introduced, and are
very becoming to golden-haired
blondes.
JAPANESE silks, made of silk and
linen, will be much worn this spring,
also black grenadines with figured
stripes in very bright colors.
APRoN-PoLoNAIsE walking suits are
now very fashionable and exceedingly
stylish. They are said to be copied
from models just imported from Paris.
WATERPROOF cloth is made up now in
to entire suits for ladies, which are very
neat, pretty and useful.
FoULARDs, pongees, poult de sole, and
very light gros grains will be the favor
ite dress materials this spring.
THE favorite bonnets are modifca-
tions of the gypsy form; they either
match the toilet exactly or are in straw.
STRIPES are much worn in gentlemen's
materials, as we'll as ladies'. Shepherd
checks also promise to come once more
into favor.
COSTUMES EN- CAMAIEUx are the great
favorites this spring; but it needs very
good taste to keep the modiSte from put
ting colors in contrasts simply abomin-
able.
FROM the beauty of the spring fash
ions we are driven to the opinion that
it was fortunate chance which freed
American dressmakers from the SUI
premity of Partisan modistes and left
them free to exercise their own in
genuity. . ID"
A NOVEL for young ladies is the walk
ing costume in two contrasting colors,
as havane with pale blue, light green
with lilac, gray with ruby, blue, or coral
color, violet with slate, brown with dark
blue, or violet with bronze.
FASHION looks with newborn pleasure
at the exquisite taste manifested in the
costumes of the season. The colors are
excessively dainty and fresh. A toning
down of all the glaring tints is discerni-
BILE. The different shades of one color
will be the predominant fashion. Two
and three tints of brown and gray and
cool summery green. In violet we find
wonderful intermingling of shades,
ranging from the deep, Syrian, royal
purple to the palest mauve that frames
the pansy. All loud contrasts are es-
pecially avoided. Therefore, if all wo-
men are not dressed with refinement.
it is not, by any means, the fault Of the
mOdiStes.

Experiment with a Mitrailleuse and a
JackaSS.

An English paper says it is in con-
temptation to mount mitrailleuses on
the backs of camels, and work them in
that novel position. 1t is almost need
less to say that the experiment has
been tried in England, for what expert
ments have we not tried? But camels
in England are not readily obtainable,
and the ordnance committee therefore
selected one of those jaded old asses
which form so common faature in the
landscape of Erith and Woolwich. The
animal quietly permitted itself to be
used in the service Of science till the
critical moment. The weapon had
been loaded and pointed at the butts,
when it suddenly occurred to one of the
committee that the pulling of the Ian
yard might disturb the aim. 1t was
therefore suggested that the discharge
should be effected with the fuse. But
the unpleasant fzz of the lat
ter appliance was too much even
for the patience of donkey. The
creature DO sooner heard the unusual
sound than he sent out his heels, and,
turning completely round, pointed the
mitrailleuse among the members of the
committee. The panic which followed
can be better imagined than described,
but fortunately everybody got out OF
harms way, and when the discharge
took place the wretched ass turned a
complete somersault. After such con-
tretemps, we shall hear no more about
a battalion of camel mitrailleurs.

THE SIDDoNs' ToILET.-The Hartford
papers wax enthusiastic over Mrs. Scott
Siddons' toilet, at one of her recent
readings in that city. They say she wore
dress of an elegant shade of moire an
tique, the corsage cut square and finish
ed with wide Honiton lace, held by q
cluster of red and white camelias The
sleeves were of white lace, pufed and
held by bands of the same material as
the dress; and the front of the skirt
was trimmed with an apron of point ap
plique lace. From the shoulders were
fastened a, robe of point lace, which fell
in full folds over the long train of the
dress. Her hair was dressed with red
fuschias hanging over puffs, and her
only ornaments were plain Etruscan
gold. Upon table on the stage were
a dozen or more magnificent floral offer
ings from her admirers in that city.

ON D1SsIPATIoN-There are three
kinds of dissipation in the world
white, red, and black dissipation. White
dissipation is the waste of nerve and
excessive use of the brain there are
pious dissipation, scholarly dissipation,
business dissipation, the dissipation of
the men who, with salutary shudders,
" thank God that they are not as other
men are" Red dissipation is the dissi-
patton of the increase of blood by luxu-
rious food, or the waste Of blood by all
those passions and indulgences which
come of luxurious living. Black dissi-
patton is that of the grosser indulgences
which criminal men seek. The first
named is increasing rapidly, and taking
the place of lower grades. The pecu-
liar folly of our age is the waste of nerve
force In all directions we see the sign
of brain dissipation. The diseases of
virtuous men are no longer what they
used to be-blood diseases. Paralysis
is beating up in every community and
finding recruits. Good men are living
too fast. Each man is swept on against
his will into the tumult of life. The
great army Of insomnists is increasing,
and such men have a call to lunacy.-
