Royal Bridal Dresses.

Honiton lace owes its great reputation
to its sprigs, which were at first woven
into the ground, but latterly ''applique, "
or sown on the ground. In the course
of the last century the making of the
plain net ground on the pillow was a
seperate branch of the trade. The net
was beautiful and regular but expensive,
as may be judged from the fact that the
thread by which some of the finer quail
tiles were made cost as much as f70 to
.fl05 per pound weight The worker
was paid in rather curious fashion.
The lace ground was spread out and
covered with shillings, and as many coins
as the piece would accommodate were
the reward of the maker. 1t was no I'M
common thing to pay el00 for Honi-
ton lace veil when the business was in
its palmy days. The invention of ma
chimes for making lace dealt severe
blow to the peculiar industry of Devon
shire, and it threatened to become alto
gether extinct. Mrs. Bury Pallisers
records that when wedding lace was re-
quired for Her Majesty Queen Victoria
it was with difficulty the necessary num-
Der of workers could be obtained to make
it. 1t was undertaken by Miss Jane
Bidney, who caused the work to be exc
cutei in the small fishing hamlet of Beer
and its environs The dress cost e. 900;
it was composed entirely of Honiton
sprigs, connected with pillow by variety
of openwork stitches; but the patterns
were Immediately destroyed, SO it cannot
be reproduced. The bridal dresses of
the Princess Royal, the Princess Alice,
and the Princess of Wales were all of
Honiton point, the patterns consisting of
natural flowers, ferns, etc. Many of
the more experienced hands find employ
ment in restoring and re-making old lace,
and the ingenuity they display in that
direction is said to be marvellous.

A Prescription the Lawyer Didn't

Up in New Hampshire is we'll

tuted curer of all ills; a soft of univer-
sal panacea, "body and soul, head, heart
and conscience DOCTOR" who, with all
his eccentricities, has fund of actual
wit that is bard to beat. Not long
ago the "doctor' was called upon the
witness stand. The opposing counsel,
who is said sometimes to "wet his
whistle with 'hquor pizen," knowing
the doctors peculiarities, ventured, in
cross examining him, to show him up q

A Dissatisfied Tramp.

A gentleman attired in clothes which
had seen better days called at the
Tribune Office on Saturday with a slip
cut from the paper, and asked to see
the editor. When his request had been
complied with, in measure, he SAID with
a whitening sheer:
..Wot are givin' US, young Teller, heyl
Don't you seewhat you're printing in the
paperl Look here p and he rendered
the reporter printed scrap, which the
reporter took between the points of a
pair of scissors, and scrutinized at re.
respectful distance.

to the representative Of the Hendrick

impecunious gentleman in Winona,

his dinner and sawed a cord of wood for
his supper, and whose demeanor so i'm

she at once wrote an account of the at

abroad that us fellows are in the habit
of wedding the cowcumbers upon

Crimes Against Women.

Six months ago the whole community
was shocked by the discovery of brutal
murder which had been perpetrated
with the most horrible and revolving
circumstances. A young girl who had
been wronged as only woman can be
wronged, and then murdered, mutilate d,
crowded into trunk while her flesh
was still warm, was thrown into Sangus
river, and found floating there last Feb
ruary.
Only now have the perpetrators OF
this crime been discovered. Those who
were her immediate murderers may re-
ceive their punishment. But is there
any law that can reach the case of
Allen N. Adams, of Boston Highlands,
who, while the girl was earning living
as an inmate in his family, was the first
cause of all that followed He was a
man of mature years. 1t was on her
Goth birthday that she was found lead
in the river. So young and yet so
wronged She was old enough indeed
to know better. But the mature man
lured her to her ruin His crime is one
of the gravest as well as one Of the
grossest. But this sin against women
never gets its deserts.
Last year in New York woman's
voice was heard in shrieks, and when a
policeman appeared he found a young
girl, yet in her teens, in chamber with
q man who said he had got her in a
dance-house and had kept her where she
was month or SO, but he had just told
her he was tired of her and should leave
her and then she shrieked and ran to
the closet, took her clothes and thrust
them into the fire, and said she would
kill herself. She was taken to the po-
lice court for trial. There she told that
she went to Coney Island for holiday.
AS she walked on the sands the man
who had Just been found with her spoke
to her politely, and walked along, talk
ing pleasantly, till they came to an eat
ing house. Then he asked her to lunch
with him. Knowing nothing, and hence
fearing nothing, she went into lunch.
The next she knew she woke to find
herself in one of the vilest and most no
torious Of the bad houses in that city.
Evidently she had been drugged.
The fellow told her the state of the
case; that she would now be
ashamed to go home, and that the
only thing she could do was to stay
with him and he would take care of her,
etc. The poor young thing, Ignorant,
bewildered, distressed, wild with grief,
shame and dismay, accepted his premise

her he was tired of her, and should leave
her to shirk for herself, at first she had
rent the air with shrieks, thrust her
clothes into the fire and said she would
kill herself All this was told with con-
vulsive sobs which so moved the heart of
the judge that he said sternly to the
young man, "What have you to say for
yourself !" He admitted the truth of
her statements, but said "Send her up,
Judge; send her up. Give her month
or two. 1t will do her good" The Judge
ordered him to leave the court room.
saying he was ''sorry he could not give
him his deserts" And ne went out, no
doubt glad to escape from the reproach-
full eyes Of his victim, free to create such
another tragedy, and no law to punish
him.-Boston Journal.
