Nothing. She was just worn out and
dropped down, when she could not 90

strong; her strength needed boarding.
They called it decline, and so it was.
Nature declined longer to support the
powers of a body which exacted SO

was wiry, brisk, stirring, young man.
who liked to see thirgs trimmed nice
about his farm, and Jennie was Just
as particular about everything as he
was; so when they two joined hands
and took charges of the old Lester
place, you may depend things went on
swimmingly.
George was of an inventive turn of
mind. and devised and completed sew
eral very useful articles to help in the
performance of farm work, and his
machines and gardening tools are al
WAYS the best and in perfect
order. NOmatter what a thing costs,
if he cannot make it, he goes and buys
it. "A man is fool, he says, ITO

Flirting with the Empress.

The Empress Elizabeth, says Baden
Baden letter, has been in the habit of
taking long walks every day, some
fifteen or twenty miles, generally ac-
companied only by her maid of honor
A short time ago they were going to
Rastadt, a little town about twelve
miles from here, containing a roya
school and barracks, when they lost
their way. They were in despair, but
were relieved by meeting two private
soldiers, whom they took as guides,
not telling whom they were. The
Empress walked with one OF the sol
diers, the maid of honor with the
other for the whole afternoon, cOnvers
ing very pleasantly. The Empress told
her companion that she was an
Austrian, and would like to see him
again. inviting him to call upon her
the next day and giving him her adj
dress. The day arriyed-so did the
soldier-he was ushered into a room,
where he met the Colonel of his reg
iment. who questioned him about his
behavior the day before. The poor
soldier was struck dumb with horror
when he found with whom he had
chatted in such a friendly manner, as
her Majesty dresses very simply when
she goes on these tramps, ana had
simply told him that her name was
Elizabeth, he, of course. had no idea
of her exalted rank. She presented
him with twenty marks, and probably
he admired that far more than the
average German ever doe sweet

Where Lacen are NIadc.

The most of the handmade lace is
manufactured in Belgium. France and
England. Large quantities Of lace are
also made by machinery in the two lat
ter countries and in the United States.
The application Of machinery 10 this
delicate and intricate WORK has made
many kinds Of lace very cheap. which,
when made by hand, never cou.d have
been otherwise than expensive because
of the labor required to complete
them. In Belgium. where avery large
part of the real lace is made (the
handmade laces are all calle real. f"
and machine laces ''imitation"), over
100000 women are said to be employed
in lace-making and the majority of
these work at home. There are 900
lace schools in the country. Probably
the most important center of the work
in that country is the city of Brussels.
A very expensive kind of lace is made
here. known as Brussels lace. which Is
of very fine thread and intricate de-
sign. Mechlin Lace, which is very
fine and transparent, is made at Mech
lin, Antwerp, Lierre, and Turnhout.
The manufacture of Valenciennes,
another favorite lace is extinct in its
native city-whence il derived its
name-but has obtained much pros
perity in Flanders. 1t is now chiefly
made at the towns of Ypres, Bruges.
Courtrai, Menin, Client, and Alost.
The productions of Ypres are of the
finest quality. In France q few years
ago, the number of lace-makers was
estimated at 25O. 600, but this total had
been considerably reduced by the use
of machinery in T, C mt years. The point
d 'Aleneon lace. which is a very beauti-
full lace. made entirely by hand with
fine needle. in small pieces. which are
afterward united by invisible seams, is
made principally at Bayeux. The
towns of BayeUx and Caen are espeei-
ally noted for the manufacture of fine
black laces. Chantilly lace, which was
formerly made almost altogether at
Chantilly, is now made quite extern
siyely at the two towns mentioned
above. The productions of the towns
of Lille and Arras are also well known.
Lille lace is very simple in design. but
very fine and beautiful. The lace of
Bailleul is strong and cheap. and extern
sively used for trimming.

Justice CIinord.s Idlosyncrasles.

Congressman Reed of Maine in a
recent chat told some Of the peculiar
tiles OF the late Justice Nathan Cliff
ord. He was one of the vainest men
who ever sat on the bench. In his
younger days he was somewhat of a
participant in politics and had received
a nomination for a local Office when
several young men of the town called
on him 10 tender their congratulations.
he said TO them with evident vainness:
1T is the proudesI part OF M expert
ence oftoday that you young men, my
friends and associates, know me and
appreciate me as all world will some
day know and appreciate Nathan Cliff
ord. " 1t was Justice Clifford who, in
the Electoral Commission, after stating
his opinion to his fellOw-members,
said, as he folded his hands complacent-
ly over his round and well-filled stom-
ach: Gentlemen, 1 do not know if
the sentiments l have expressed will
meet with your approval or if they
will ultimately be adopted as the views
of this tribunal. But / am fully con-
WINGED that they viii be the views
indorsed by the great, and the good.
and the wise of all future ages.
In telling me of that story Congress
man Reed remarked that vanity and
cheek were great accomplishment if
they were held by men of great ability.
and that in Judge CliffOrd's case they
had served him well.

The Cup That Cheers.

it is hard to say, but without doubt
the fashionable drink of the day here,

a more heathful drink than coffee,
which with Americans, has heretofore
had the preference, as it is more re-
freshing, less heating, and very re-
storative, and. too, has the advantage
OF being so much more easily made.
1t is unquestionably the drink for
brainworkerS, and women who are
exhausted with the labOriOus duties OF
social life find It delightful stimulus,
wherehas coffee has the effect of max

The Albany Argus says a story of
a pedal exploit has been current
month in high society. The account
said that there was a merry supper
party at a fashionable restaurant, three
of the company being maidens of beau
ty,and some renown as bellies. All were
married. Several of the liveliest,
most sentimental. highly absorbent
of alteration, are husbanded al
ready. The conversation turned
accidentally upon pretty feet.
Somebody suggested a competitive
examination of the feet of the three
beauties. A great deal of wine had
been drank. They consented. A con-
venient portiere screened the women
except their bare feet, and the jury
awarded a pair of carriers to the owner
of the one deemed lovelieSt. This
was an actual incident. The names
could be given and they belong to
respected and respectable families.
OF course there was nothing positively
wicked or even inmodest in the thing

The laying of the corner stone of
he Minneapolis Industrial Exposition
building, May Goth, brings prominently
into view an enterprise of the greatest
value to the state of Minnesota. The
building is one of the largest in
the world for the purpose of a
permanent exposition. Its dimensions
are as follows; Main street, (river)
front, $50 feet; First avenue side, $40
feet; Ortman street, $50 feet;
Bank street $50 feet; height
from ground line to main cornice 80
feet; from ground line to top of
pavilion 100 feet; to top of dome 145
feet, 10 top of main tower 240 feet.
There will be 367, 800 square feet of
space for exhibits and Accommodations
for $1,000 visitors. Goods can be de-
livered by rail at doors, and passengers
land within half block of the main
entrance.
The ceremonies of laying the cor
ner stone were perhaps the most i'm
posing of any that nave ever transpired
within the limits of the state, being at
tended by Gov. Hubbard and his staff,
state officials, Mayor Rice of St. Paul
and officials of that municipality and
prominent citizens from all sections of
the state and abroad. The procession,
composed of the state military ard va
rious Minneapolis societies, was a roy
al one, a pride and honor to
the occasion. The Grafton pro-
nounced by President Cyrus North
rup of the State University was
mastery. and listened to by the as
sembled thousands with supreme in
terest.
The Exposition Association, of which
Hon w. ID. Washburn is President,
and Gen. L. B. Hubbard, General
Manager, with Vice-Presdents in Wis
consin, Iowa, Dakota, Montana and
Minnesota, has a cash capital of $780,
900, with land of the value of 500, 900,
the stock being owned by some $500
citizens of Minneapolis.
The Exposition will be open for six
weeks from August % to October 2.
No charge is made for space or power
and the price of admission is 25 cents,
children Is cents. The exhibits are
divided into eight departments and 10S
classes, and already extensive engage
ments for space have been made upon
applications from almost every quarter
of the country. The management is in
the hands of a most competent, pro-
gressive and comprehensive board of
directors, and the success of the enter
prise is already fully assured, and its
importance and value to Minnesots
cannot be overstated.
