The Romance OF Lace,

From Paris Cores ondence Baltimore Bulletin
The most recent improvement in the
production of lace is the introduction of
shaded tints in the flowers and patterns
giving the.. the relief Of picture. The
effect is produced ~ varying the appli-
cation Of the two stitches used in making
the flowers-the ''tolle," which forms the
close tissue and the grille" employed in
the more open part Of the pattern. The
system is SO successfully applied to the
laces of France that it has been adopted
with the gratest success.
There is legend regarding the intro
duction OF this manufacture into Flanders.
A poverty stricken, but pious Young girl
was dying of love for a young man whose
wealth precluded all hopes of marriage.
One night as she sat weeping at her sad
fate, beautiful lady entered the &C ttage,
and without saying word, placed on
her knees a green cloth cushion with its
bobbins filed with fine thread, which on
autumn evenings floats in the air, and
which the people call "fils de la VERGE
The lady, though of romantic bearing,
was practical manufacturer. She sat
down in silence, and with her nimple fin
gers taught the unhappy maiden how to
make all sorts of patterns and complicat-
ed stitches. As daylight appeared the
maiden had learned her art, and the mys-
terions visitor disappeared.
The price of lace soon made the poor
girl rich. She married the man of Der
choice, and surrounded by large family,
lived happy and rich, for she had kept
the secret for herself. One evening, when
the little folks we're playing around he1
knees by the Preside and he1 husband
sat fondly watching the happy group, the
lady suddenly made her appearance
among them Her bearing was distant
she seemed stern and sad, and this time
addressed her portege in a trembling
voice: Here" she said, "you enjoy peace
and abundance, while without are famine
and trouble. / helped you, you have no,
helped your neighbors. The angels weep
for you and tuln awav their faces" So
the next day the woman arose, and going
forth with a.green cushion and its bobbini

An amateur pedestrian, walking across
the northern edge of Westchester county,
N. Y, on wager, stopped at the forks
of road, at loss as to which way his
course lay, and awaited the arrival of a
stranger who was coming alta tremendous
stride. II say, sir" he cried out, "can
you tell me which is the shortest road to
Sing Sing9" Eyes, SIR said the stranger,
unbottoning a convlct's stripped shirt,
and lifting cap from a closely cropped
head; '.you must stand here and see
which way I go, and then you turn right
around and go just the other way
straight" The amateur pedestrian fol-
lowed these simple directions, and arrived
at the end OF his course in time to win
his wager.

Confessions.
I.-FRIENDsHlP.
TO Ell.

My dearest thoughts unite to name you friend,
You who have given me OF your heart and
mind
In rich profusion, till feared to find
Your generous love grown wear, in the end;
But well it is that our two lives should blend,
Like leaves by tranquil breeze entwined-
For we are of sad, communing kind
Who love strange gods and wander as the
wend.
Through all the growth of time you have not
lost
That faith in what my life has vaguely told
In words that falter with the weight Of
song;
The world may marvel little at the cost
Wherewith the human heart is bought OF
sold
Yet we have learned it wisely and are
strong.

II.-sYMPATHY.

The moonlight glimmers over throbbing
seas
The stars aglow in myriad paths of night
The solemn grandure of some mountain
height
The gentle sweep of murmuring forest trees
The faint ethereal music of the breeze
And all familiar sound that mark the fight
Of dawn beyond the circle of our sight
And dreams exhale like dew from grassy leas:
We see, and hear, and feel, like souls made
one,
For one brief hour, in purity of grace,
And in desire that yearns for wings to fly ;
We have forgotten time, whose moments run
To the low wailing of a weeping race
That sees not any hope beneath the sky.

"Ah," said the fly, as it crawled around

Iv.-CONsOLATlON.
Men cannot daunt me with their petty rage,
Nor sorrow kill me, for laugh ut both,
AS one who feels within himself the growth
Ofpower which is the glory of the sage;
l am q standard bearer of my age
And march in serried columns, nothing
loath
To fight like any hero for his oath,
Or like an emperor tor his heritage.
In the cold night-times of my life see
Faint forms of splendor borne through star
lit space
On white diaphanous wings thatneve tire;
Then / forget the earth and seem to be
One of the pure and dream egotten race
Whose love is sweet as air and strong as
fi;e.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

uI.-D1SCOURAGEMEN
Ali there are times when my sweet years of
youth
Seem chilled at heart. like flowers of early
spring
Nipped by the icy frost in poisoning;
When grace and beauty seemed deformed, un-
couth,
And love unlovely as dream of ruth;
When all the songs that have lived to sing,
Sound hollow as the cold and cherries ring
Of mockery on the resonant air of truth.
Yet hope returns in some sad hour of thought
And with asoul grown strong in death rise,
And walk the earth with calm, heroic tread
Then, like a bird, my heart goes out unsought,
To the free splendor of the dropping skies,
And to the august glory of the dead.

Logs in the Chippew a.

A telegram from Eau Claire, Wis,
Monday evening, says;
The end of the Eau Claire river drive,
with 25,OO0,O00 to 30,0O0,O0Q feet of logs,
arrived safely during last night, leaving
about $4,000 900 feet behind, mostly on
the North Fork, where the dam was swept
away. But about $4,000 900 feet on the
Chippewa have passed here, assorted for
the Mississippi market, and large night
aud day crews are at work at the asserting
works near the Dells, making unusual
clean work. Careful estimates place the
number of logs that have already passed
Chippewa Falls up to this evening at
60,000,000 to 70,000,000, and there is at
least 50,000000 to 100000 in the reser.
voir at the DeIls, which is covered as far
as the eye can reach. Logs continue
running steadily all day, although the
| Chippewa is falling very rapidly, showing
81 feet, partially to be attributed to the
shutting down of dams above. The mill.
in the Chippewa valley generally have re.
sumed operations with sufficient material
to keep them running until the June
freshet. The D. Shaw Lumber Company
and Northwest Lumber Company are
running only two thirds of their capacity
in consequence of scarcity of men. Re
ports from Chippewa Falls at O'Clock
this evening say that the drives on Fisher
Deer Tail, and Thornapple creeks hav,
proved nearly clean.

WHY SUBMIT TO THE DISCOMFORT, and

will rid you of it with certainty and de-
spatch 1t is remedy which never fails
TO relieve cutaneous disease, and, as a
means of banishing defects of the COM
plexion, it is equally reliable. The bene-
fits arising from the use of Sulphur Baths,
IN cases OF skin disease, and of rheuma-
tlsm and govt, are well known, but the
cost is too heavy to be incurred by many
persons who would otherwise take advan-

answers the same purpose. and is both
inexpensive and convenient. No one
