The ',darned net craze" is said 10 be
the latest intiiction of large part of the
feminine world. OF this Brooklyn paper
says:
ut is a coarse lace work wrought on
lace netting with darning or knitting cot
ton; though much of it is done in linen
floss. especially in the west. and it can be
made as fine as the finest lace in the market.
Still for the most part, the numbers 8 and
10 are the cotton used, the lace netting
being bought by the yard and of size OF
mesh to suit the cotton. The materials
are not dear, but the working of them up
into the figures and patterns that please
the fancy is difficult and tedious, and the
finished work on this account, and the
time occupied in completing it. comes
rather high. A great many patterns are
produced, but those known as the star and
fern leaf and the five, three, Two stitch
seems to be the most favored. One lady
of this city has fifty different patterns
worked by herself, and the one most liked
in general-avine pattern--is the most
easily learned and worked.'

Poison IN POTATOES No one should
buy their potatoes of grocerymen who let
them stand in front of their stores in the
sun. Potatoes belong TO the "solanum"
family, of which the deadly nightshade is
one of its full brothers. All branches of
the family contain more or less of that
poisonous narcotic called "solanine" The
bulb, or potato, contains the least of this,
unless they are exposed TO the sun, which
rapidly develops this element. Long
exposure to the light, without the direct
sun, will develop the solanine in the potato
and make an article unfit for food, But
exposure to the sun is so injurious to the
potato, making it not only unpalatable but
actually injurious to health, that any grocer
fer the offence of selling potatoes which
have been exposed two or three days to
the suu ought to be indicted for selling
unhealthy and dangerous human food.

ECCE SIGNUM.
BY MAUDE MEREDITH

We're 1t only Death that had conquered thee
And taken the hence to dwell,
should call thee back to my arms again
From the uttermost parts Of He'll
Bnt stand where tho spray on the riyer's brink
Is dashing against my face,
And the white foam surges about my feet
In this d7soate wind swept space
And call across where the mansions be,
Where pastures are still and green,
Til know my cry will be heard of thee
Though the river flows deep between
And thy voice comes back in its olden tone.
Like the chime of distant bell,
20, my loved one, in truth | am not gone,
But still living, and all is we'll
For until thy day with its deeds is done,
Thy barque has its anchor weighed,
] will guard thy ways, will comfort thee,
Beloved, be not dismayed."
And the white spray quiyers with golden light,
The river sobs and is still,
For an angel walks on the waves this night,
And they. silent, obey his will
And the air grows sweet, like breath of June,
And bright as golden morn,
And the heavenly anthems fail as sweet
As the day that our Christ was born
Sol know that Heaven is here and now
And neal is the jasper sea.
And may not beckon thee back, for thou,
Beloved, art still with me.
The state of death.

An exchange tells farmor who tried
last year to make his moving machine
last another season, and who claims to
have lost not less than $500 by SO doing
in breakagos, hindranaes TO labor, damage
to hay, etc. While this was an extreme
case, being upon largo farm, yet the
loss from similar causes is often much
greater than farmers imagine. A part Of
it may be avoided by carefully examining
the machine before the time comes when
it will be needed, and replacing all parts
worn and particularly liable to breakage.
If many such pieces are found it may
prove that the cheapest way to repair tho
machine will be TO buy u new one.

And the trail of his icy garments

Nay, say the Jolly Pansies,

Till out OF the sunny South land
Comes the warm breath of Spring.

Consumption OF Wheat in Eng

of wheat are consumed yearly by each
person in the United Kingdom. On an
average, six bushels weigh about $50
pounds, and, when ground, produces
2SO pounds of -four and about 100 OF

Times, not long since, estimated the
home crop of wheat tor 1882 at fully 1O,-
OOO, 600 quarters, so that nearly 16,OOO,-
COO quarters, or their equivalent in flour,
must be imported within the year to

Australia, xll contribute to our wants;
and as the harvcst-time varies more or

New Workers Who Have More Dol

New York Correspondence of Brooklyn
Eag1e.
About this time every yeaf. when the
summer season comes upon us, and 9TH
er topics afe slack, we have the annual
sensation about old Seabuly Brewster;
the mau who has wasted five million
dollars by his stubbornness aud eccen.
tricity. The old mamie is now 70 odd
wears old-lives at the New York hotel
where he has resided twenty years, eats
at the corner of the same table, and eats
exactly the same kind of food on each
gu :ceeding day. Five cents is to him
of more consequence than SIS is to most
men, though he rolls in wealth.
Still he has steadily refused for twenty.
years to rent two of the most valuable
buildings In the whole city ofNew York.
These, buildings are numbers 627 and 629
Broadway, and they could be readily
rented at any time for $50, 900 year.
Careful business men have made an es-
innate Of the loss of five million dollars
on their rental for twenty years. All
sorts of prices have been offered for the
structures, but Brewster has declined to
rent them at any figure. So they lie
idle. Merchants in the city have revolt
ted, as they cay it does them positive
harm to have vacant buildings in such a
business part of the great thoroughiare,
but their efforts are unavailing.
The old man still refuses to rent
them. This seems to be fated locality
on Broadway, for on the next block
above is row of fine buildings which
have suffered from the same fate as that
which afflicts the Brewster buildings.
They are of brick, painted yellow, and
are very valuable, but they are almost
vacant. The owner is lean and crab
bed old man, who personally inter-
views everybody who wants to move in.
A man will 60 to him and say:
the corner"
''Do your" the old man will say .
''Tbe price is $4,000 year,
II will take it" the applicant says.
"What business?" is invariably the
next question of the owner.
The man will then state his business.
but let it be dry goods, millinery, manu-
featuring, carriage binding, clothing, or
any other business that is known to
trade and the answer of the old man in
variably is: "Ah, of course you can
take the building, but you will be q
dead failure. This particular kind oil
business has been tried there many
times. and it has always failed. On sec
ond thought, l don't think will let you
have the building at any price, for a
business failure always deprecates the
property"
"But," the man will say, II will give
you more rent; I will take lease for
ten years."
"No, no." the old millionaire always
replies, ''you would only make failure
and I don't care to be bothered by 8
failing firm" So the house remaint
empty all the time, except occasi onally,
when business firm takes it. The old
man invariably drives them out at the
end of the year, however.
