Yegetable Clothing.

lC J. Russell in St. Nicholas for May.l
 About two hundred years ago the Cover nor of the island of Jamaica, Sir Thomas Lynch, sent to King Charles II. of England a vegetable necktie, and very good necktie it was, although it had grown on tree and had not been altered since it was taken from the tree.
 A gentleman who witnessed two natives manufacturing this lace thus describes it. A tree about twenty feet high and six inches in diameter, with bark looking much like that of birch tree, was cut down. Three strips of bark, each about six inches wide and eight feet long, were taken from the trunk and thrown into stream of water. Then each man took strip while it was still in the water, and with the point of his knife separated thin layer of the inner bark from one end of the strip. This layer was then taken in the fingers and gently pulled, whereupon it came away in an even sheet of the entire width and length of the strip of bark Twelve sheets were thus taken from each strip of bark and thrown into the wa ter.
 The men were not through yet, however, for when each strip of bark had yielded it's twelve sheets each sheet was taken from the water and gradually stretched sidewise. The spectator could hardly believe his eyes. The sheet broadened and broadened until from a close piece of material six inches wide it be- came filmy cloud of delicate lace over three feet in width. The astonished gentleman was forced to confess that no human made loom ever turned out lace which could sur pass in snowy whiteness and gossamer-like delicacy that product of nature.
 The natural lace is not so regular in for nation as the material called illusion, so much worn by ladies in summer; but it is as soft ard white and will bear washing, which is not true of illusion. In Jamaica and Cen tral America, among the poorer people, it supplies the place of manufactured cloth, which they cannot afford to buy; and the wealthier classes do not by any means scorn it for ornamental use. The tree is common ly called the laee-bark tree. It's botanical name is Lagetto lintearia

STILL MISSING.
The Mysterious Disappearance of a
 Young Butcher.

Young Butcher.
 NoRwALK. Conn.,, April 24.-The little village of Cannons, on the line of the Dan bury and Norwalk road, is greatly excited over the sudden and very mysterious disap- pearance of Frank H. Cole. He was 27 years of age and butcher. On Thursday morn ing he purchased a steer, drove it to his slaughter house, where he made preparations for butchering it at about sundown. At noon he refused his dinner, saying he was not hungry, thing very unusual with him, as he generally enjoys hearty appetite. He loitered about the house for some time, and appeared to be thinking deeply. At 2:30 o'clock he left the house where he boarded and went over to his fathers, where he re- mained for some time. He finally started for the slaughter house and that was the last seen of him.
 Cole is a man of good habits, and no cause can be assigned for his sudden disappear ance. The woods in the vicinity have been searched, and the ponds and rivers have been dredged, but no clue to his whereabouts has as yet been ascertained. MT. Cole was to have been married to Miss Emily RandelI, of Norwalk, next Wednesday. Last evening she was informed of her lovsrs disappear ance and is prostrated with grief The young man has been subject to fits of melancholy of late, and it is feared that, while tempora- rily insane, he has committed suicide. This afternoon nearly hundred men, with ropes and grapnels, are exploring the depths of an old silver mine, sixty feet deep thinking that while out of his mind Cole might have jumped down one of the shafts
