Articles Of Attire Made Of Lace.

There is scarcely an article of human
attire that has not been made in lace for
the old nobility Of France and England.
Stockings and carriers, underwear, petit
coats, waistcoats and cravats, shirts,
collars, cuffs and ruiiles, hoods, masks
and boot-tops, aprons, lappels, wells,
handkerchiefs, caps and bouquet-holders.
Even the church had its banners of rare
lace, and its dignitaries monopolized a
large share Of the finest products OF the
needle and bobbin, while the aristocratic
Dutch smothered their warming pans
and door-knockers in Flemish point

First Lighthouse ON This Continent.

The first lighthouse ever established on
this continent, it is stated, was erected
on Little Brewster island, in Boston har-
Dor, in l7l5-16, at an expense of 2,3SJ
pounds, II shillings, 8 IL pence. under
the authority of the general court
of the province of Massachusetts, bay. II
was maintained by the contribution Of ]
penny per ton on all incoming and out
going vessels, excepting coasters, and
these light dues" We're levied by the col
lectors of imports at Boston.
An old framed mezzotint engraving Of
this pionner lighthouse, executed in 1920
by William Burgis, has been presented TO
the lighthouse board, who, in their an
nual report for 1884, have inserted fac
simile, in order to preserve a picture OF
this first attempt Ia render navigation
less dangerous. 1t represents a tall,
white lighthouse, with a low, two-st0ry
house attached, and an armed British
pinnace at anchor near by.-Chicaso

Handlers of the Hierogiyphics.

of ignorance. The Missouri state board
Of pharmacists, and not in Missouri

examination of applicants for certificates

ambitious to handle the hieroglyphics of

between drugs bearing similar color

A museum has been erected in Pom.

of some Of the people who persisted il
the eruption. These people were covered
up by the fine asnes just where they fell
and in the position in which they died
These ashes hardened, ard although the
bodies, with the exception of few
bones, entirely disappeared in the course
of ages, the hollow places left in the
ashes were exactly the shape of the
forms and features of the is who
Lad been there.
An ingenious Italian conceived the idea
Of boring into these hollow mol,ls and
filling them up with liquid plaster of
,Jaris. When this became dry and hard,
the ashes were removed. and there were
the plaster images of the persons who
had been overtaken and destroyed be-
fore they could escape from that terrible
storm of hot ashes, which came down in
quantities sufficient to cover whole
city from sight. In some Of these
figures the features are very distinct,
and we can even distinguish the texture
Of their clothes and the rings upon then

SPARKS AGAIN.

We have again and again urged
Commissioner Sparks to come and
visit the northwest and see If he
cannot get it into his head what sort
of a country IT is he is fooling with so
blithely. He had better perhaps come
disguised and register as John Smith,
n. Y.n 1t might not be good for his
health IL he were recognized by the
settlers whom he has so grossly and
wantonly wronged. But he ought to
come, for he is evidently as utterly
ignorant of the natural conditions of
the country as he is of equatorial
Africa. His recent letter of instruc-
tiors TO the surveyor-general of Mon
tara proclaims In every line of it that
thu author thereof was totally incom-
pctent to deal with the subject which
he takes upon himself to handle.
Twenty thousand dollars having been
appropriated for the cost of surveys in
Montona-surveys too which are badly
needed in many of the mineral dis
observation-disclosures Sparks now lays
it down that no surveys shall be made
except of strictly agricultural lands"
Presumably Commissioner Sparks de-
sires to have more accurate survey
Of the town site of Bozeman, or he
might like to see the whole Gallatin
valley carefully allotted into lawn
tennis courts? Perhaps he thinks
Silver Bow county would be more Or
namental If marked Off into checker
boards? Unless some such device is
adopted, Commissioner Sparks cannot
find "strictly agricultural land" which,
has not been surveyed for years past,
in the whole of Montana to absorb
one tithe of the twenty thousand dol
lars set aside. On the other hand, in
the mineral districts Of the territory
there is work enough awaiting the
transit and level, and work which
honestly needs doing, to use up double
the amount appropriated. 1t is true
that had Commissioner Sparks early
rulings regarding timber cutting been
literally enforced and faithfully obey
ed the greater part Of the mining it,
dustries Of Montana would have been
destroyed. A hundred camps and
cities, prosperous to-day, would have
been silent and deserted. Under these
circumstances the commissioners
latest letter would have been appro-
pirate enough. If there were no
mines aud no mining there would be
no need Of surveys in the mineral
lands. 1t chances, however, that Mr..
Sparks timber cutting idiocy never
was obeyed, and never could be en-
forced; and the mining and miners
still remain there, uncomfortable OBJ
stacles in the way of the commission
ers' enjoyment. Being there, Mr..
Sparks had much better bring himself
to recognize their existence, however
disagreeable it may be to him; and we
can think Of no way In which he could
more gracefully show that he recog-
nizes their existence than by taking a
trip, in some impenetrable disguise,
over the Northern Pacific road from
Minneapolis to acknowledgements

Making Tours Under humble Auspices.
1t is common for reputable actors, out
of satisfactory jobs, to go on tours under
counterfeit names and under humble
auspices. This is frequently the case
with actresses who aspire to, and uSually
reach, the elevation of leading heroines,
but who in intervals of misfortune en-
gage to enact small. old, or eccentric
characters. 1t is said that Modjeska, on
her first impecunious arrival in this
country, performed the minor role of a
french governess in an uncelebrated
drama for whole season, and while
thus employed she made close and val
liable study of the American public'i
likes and peculiarities.-New York Cor

A Chance for q LOrn Widow.

Some months ago an official in
Gloucester, Mass, received a letter
from Sing Sing, N. Y. A slip taken
from a newspaper was pasted at the
top OF the letter, which stated that
during that year there was a large
number OF widows in Gloucester oc-
casioned by the lose OF lives among
the fishing fleet. The letter says:
"The thought occurred to me that
there might be some one among these
widows who would like a good hus-
band. am a widower, no children,
sound and substantial, the owner of
two good farms, also a hotel, and
have considerable personal property,

A Rosalind in Modern Trousers
London Standard.

London Standard.
A singular story comes from the
province of Limburg, on the Dutch
frontier. The owner OF q large man.
ufactory, whohad married young and
wasleft widower, had an only daugh-
ter, to whom all the most desirable
young men in the neighborhood were
paying attention. Her father noticed
that she treated them all with indlf-
ference and showed a marked prefer.
nee for a young clerk OF his, an or
phan, with no means but his salary.
As he had always given the greatest
satisfaction in the performance OF his
duties and was exceedingly well con
Quoted, the father, persuaded that he
would neve venture to raise his eyes
to his daughter, who evidently was
sincerely attached to him made up his
mind to breach the matter to him.
What was his surprise when the young
clerk, after much hesitation, told him
he would be only toe happy to regard
the young lady as a sister, but he
could not marry her, because he was
not a man but a young oma in
disguise-a disguise she had adopted
when left an orphan in order to get a
more lucrative situation. The con,
clusion to this story is that, instead
OF marrying the daughter, she is now
the wife Of the father.

Woman sutrra@e in Wyoming.

From an Eastern Paper.
A female suffragist, writing q letter
sxtolling the purifying influence Of
women voting in Wyoming, relates
this incident as happening at the late
election in Cheyenne:
1t is q popular belief that a woman
will Vote just as her husband, father,
or brothers do, but this is emphati-
cally a mistake. Ii the ticket of thus
band suits the wife she will vote it; if
not, she will vote against him. This
does not, as might be inferred, cause
quarrelingin the family. Ifahusband
cannot convince his wife that she is
wrong, or a wife cannot bring her hus-
band to her way OF thinking, they
march or ride to the polls together
and vote directly opposite tickets.
In this connection | will give an anus
ing incident which occurred at the
Carbon county election. A foreman
OF the building department OF the
Union Pacific road had been laboring
for a week to convert his wife to his
political faith, but she remained proof
TO all ms argunlentatlNeda FINAL
ly, election day, he told her that II
OF their votes would simply kill the
other, and said he would refrain from
voting if she would. To this she as
sented, and kissingh her good-by hesaid
he would 90 to the shops. He had
been gone but q few moments when
she donned her hat and cloak, and
placing a ticket which she had procur-
ed the previous day in her pocket
went to the polls in a roundabout
way, avoiding the shops where her
husband worked. She reached the
voting place, and when the crowd sep
arated to allow her to pass through
she hurried up and met her husband
face to face at the window, each with
a ticket in hand. They laughed heart
lily at each others treachery and bad
faith, %upbraided each other, and, lock-
ing arms, went home"
