THE LACEMAKERS.

The ]acemakers of Honiton, who num-
Der some twelve hundred in the manu-
featuring district, are all middle aged
and old women. There are very few
young lace-makers in Honitop, and the
manufacture threatens to become extin ct
at the death of the present workers. The
history of the lace is checkered and curl
GUS. 1t is reported to have been FIRST in trc-
duced into England by the Flemings flying
from the persecution of,the Duke of Alva
The Flemish names still to be found in
the neighborhood of Honiton seem to
beer out this account of its origin. In
1860 the manufacture was greatly -four
ishing. The two great fires that in 1756
and 1857 broke out in the town almost
ruined the manufacture. Queen Ade-
laIde tried to revive the sinking industry
by ordering a skirt to be made from de-
signs OF natural flowers beginning with
the initials of her name, for already the
designs had lost all beauty. The attempt
had no great result, for when Queen Vic
toria ordered lace for her wedding from
Honitop, it was with difficulty workers
were found. Ultimately q lace dress
worth one thousand pounds was manu-
featured in the small fishing village of
Beer.

MAKING SHOES.

In his little hut by the rocky shore,
Where the waters ever with changing hues
Creep in and out with a drowsy roar,
Sits an old man fashioning babies shoes;
His face is wrinkled, his hair is white,
His form is bent with his years of care.
But always the old mans heart is light,
And he sings to himself as he labors there:
'Pegging away
All the long day,
Stitching ever til set of sun;
Tides ebb and flow,
Hours come and go,
Rest comes after the work is done!'
Through the window, glstening far away,
He watches the white sails out at sea
AS they slowly fade from the shining bay
Chased out by the west wind light and free;
And far-off look in his faded eyes
Reveals that his thoughts are drifting far
With the cleaning sails where the sea gull
flies;
And he sings with his heart DER the harbor
bar:
"Pegging away.
All the long day.
White sails drifting across the sea;
Tides ebb and flow,
Tides come and go.
Voyage soon over for you and meP'
He turns to his work, and his rough old bands,
AS honest as human hands can be,
Draw out the threads with there twisted
strands,
And stitch the crooked seams faithfully,
For babies feet must be shod with care,
And old age carries the work along;
And shoes are better by far to wear
When pegged and stitched with little song:
"Pegging away
All the long day,
Infancy, childhood. youth and age;
Tides ebb and flow,
Years come and go;
Life is only written pagel"
And thus he tolls, while the days go by,
Spring turns to summer along the shore,
The summers fade and the roses die,
And ow-drifts whiten the headlands DER;
And day by day as the seasons run,
He sings and tolls in a thoughtful muse,
His thread near wasted, work almost done,
An old man fashioning' babies shoes;
''Pegging away
All the long day,
Shine and shadow, spring and fall;
Tides ebb and flow,
Men come and go;
God the Father is over air.

nRFAMING

There is an old saying, You tell me
your dreams by night, and I'll tell you
your thoughts by day. But, as a rule,
the old proverb would not hold for of sll
the rnimagined imsginings imagina-
BILE, the fantastic fsncies and unreal sur
roundings Of a dream by night are the
most weird and original. But it is not
concerning the dreaming that comes
with sleep that we have to do with now,
but it is the waking dream, the day
dream, the fancies that float thre ugh the
mind while the hands are busy with a
thousand dutiee, that we want to talk of
for moment.

Gov. Hill Vetoes.

Governor H;ll has vetoed the High
License bill in New York, and conse-
quently the saloon men rejoice, and are
ready to boom him for anything from
President of the United States down to
Mayor of New York City. Two high
license bills had previously been passed
by the Republican Legislature, both Of
which were vetoed by the Governor.
The friends Of temperance, anxious
that some restraint should be put upon
the almost unrestricted sale of liquor
in the City of New York, had bill
drafted by skilled lawyers, with the
special view Of being free from the OBJ
jectiOns urged against the previous
bills, but it has met the same fate as
those that preceded it. The Democrats
voted sOlidly against all these bills, but
this fact as well as the Governors veto
is explained by the statement of the
vice president of the Liquor Dealers
Central Association of New York. who
says that the eight thousand liquor
dealers of that city control an average
of five votes each, or an average of
forty thousand votes, which he claims
is enough to decide any election.

These are "Bow Arrow Point and the

ton, that it is an agreeable change to
find Lake Champlain receiving the rec
OgnitiOn its beauties merit. "The Con-

notable for its curious illustrations. In
addition to his sermon and editorial
comments, DR.. Talmage contributes a
capital article on Woman her own De-

Women Will Talk !!

And, if you will take the
trouble to follow them
closely in what they say,
you will reach the conclu-
sion that they know how to
tell the truth even better
than men do; and have
equally as good Judgment.
Why shouldn't they?
They talk a great deal
about their OWN clothing,
but now and then they get
off on to that Of their HUs-
BANDS, brothers, sons, and
say nice things of the gar
ments and suits that are
bought at Sixth and Market
streets, Wilmington, Del.
1t is no wonder that they
say nice things of j. L.
Mullin & Sons goods. The
solid truth is, there never
were such suits offered be-
fore in this city. We were
surprised when we found
how cheap we could sell
them and then it was we
felt that there would be a
rush for them-and the
rush came like a cyclone
and it fingers at this writ
ing. What we want now is
to make sure of selling our
READY-MADE Wear-such
suits for men and boys as
you never saw before in
all your life. We offer IN
JUDGEMENTS in the BEST
GOODS the times afford, and
there we rest our case in
the sensible buyer. He
always buys because he
sees a paying investment
in the transaction. If that
isn't good common sense
we'd like to see it. Bring
the boys along. We can

The Reason Why

Ayers Pills are so popular is, that
while always reliable as a cathartic
medicine, they never leave any ill
effects. This is because they are purely
vegetable, and entirely free from Gallo
mel or any other dangerous drug. In
all cases, therefore, whether the patient
be old or young, they may be conf
IDENTIFY administered.
In the Southern and Western States,
where arrangements of the liver are so
general, Ayers Pills have proved an in
estimable blessing. d. w. Baine, New
Berne, n. c., writes:
" suffered a long time with stomach
and liver troubles. l tried various rem
edies, but received no benefit until ]
commenced taking Ayers Pills. These
pills benefited me at once. l took them
regularly for a few months, and my
health was completely restored"
Throughout New England, next to
lung diseases, Stomach and Bowel
Complaints are the most prevalent.
