PLUGGE is HOME.
He Arrived Yesterday Morning-What
He Says.

He says.
c. +. Plugge, of whom so much has
been said III the papers in reference to
his late extradition on warrant of the
Holland government, charging him
with forgery in that country, returned
to Grand Rapids yesterday morning.
II is little over four months since
he was taken from this city, and his re-
turn was the occasion of the greatest
pleasure to his friends and family. 1t
was expected that he would reach here
Saturday night, and quite delegation
of Hollanders were at the depot to meet
HIM, bat ms arrival yesterday was un-
marked 10y any demonstration beyond
the greeting of his family and q few
friends, but all day long his nome, No.
Al Walbrldgc-st., was throngcd with his
countrymen, who called TO congratulate
HIM on his good fortune.
Mr.. Plugge sad to the TELEGRAM
HERALD last night, through his chll-
dren, who acted rs interpreters, that he
landed at New York from the steamer
Amsterdam, after being out fourteen
days. He said that on reaching Hol-
land he was taken first to Amsterdam
and then to Middlcport, where he was
confined in jail for seven days, when
he was tired and acquitted on the
Sth of June. After remaining several
days among friends and making ar
rangcments to bring a suit for damages
against the parties lnstigating the pro-
ceedings against hIm and the Holland
government, he left for home. The
impression that a collection was taken
up there for, him, he says, is erroneous,
and that nothing of the sort was done.
Nor did the government pay his ex-
penses back.
Mr.. Plugge viii Immediately go to
work ut his trade of watch making.

the Order of Chivalry, the first woman
to be invested with the decoration in
the Eastern states.
Hitherto the decoration of chivalry
had been conferred only upon Ia few of
the meritorious chevaliers of the order,
but two years ago Gen. John G. Under
wood, grand sire of the order and the
Sovereign Grand lodge, authorized the
decoration to be conferred upon
Daughters of Rebeckah, wives of
chevalierS. who may be recon-
mended by their lodges to receive the
decoration. AT the meeting Of the
grand lodge in San Francisco last year
two women received the degree, and
Mrs. Maggie Kirkpatrick, who is an en-
thusiastic member of the Daughters of
Rebekah, who are composed of the
wives and daughters of Odd Fellows,
on Tuesday night, is the, only other
wears the glittering emblem.
Mrs. Kirkpa trick is the wife of Chew
alier William Kirkpatrick, of Canton
Colfax. She joined Palestine Lodge of
the Daughters of Rebekah six years ago,
and has since passed through all
the offices of the lodge, serv-
ing with honor in every grade.
For two succeeding terms she presided
over the lodge as noble grand, and en-
deared herself to all her sisters. In
gratitude for her faithful services the
lodge unanimously decided to recon-
mend Mrs. Kirkpatrick for the new dec
Grafton. Their application was favora-
bly, received by the grand sire of the l.
0. O. F.. to whom the candidates repu-
tation was well known, and last month
he granted the necessary patents. Mrs.
Kirkpatrick is bright-faced, motherly
looking woman of middle age.
At the ceremony last Tuesday night,
an account of which appeared in the
Sun the next day, there were present
members OF the order from New York
state, New Jersey and Connecticut.
Gen. James o. Woodward, who heads
the New York department, and his staff
attended from Albany for the occasion,
while many of Mrs. Kirkpatriek's sisters
waite he'd with pride the elevation Of
one of their number. The emblem of
the order which little Ethel May Whit
ten pinned upon Mrs. Kirkpatrick S
breast is a modification of the Maltese
cross. It is of white metal bound with
gold. In the center is blood-red
heart, upon which rests a crown of
gold.
A very pretty part of the ceremony
was the part taken by the four young
ladies who delivered the charges to
their kneeling sister. They were robed
in white and wore black velvet capes
trimmed with gold with the insignia of
their order upon their breasts.

This is also used with applique figures.
.Bird's-eye" outlines the pedals OF

from the center outwardS and consists

"Cat-stitch," ''herring BONE" 'coral,'
"brier" and feather have all become
familiar through the too-popular crazy
work. But all of them have their recog-
nized place in art embroidery. They
are perfectly legitimate when used as
borderings.

Point Russo stitches.
The old tapestry stitches, as ''crOss,"
''tent," ''leviathan" and ''gobelin"
stitches, as well as italian" or ''Hol-
bein." have been revived. These are
useful in certain limited field, that
is, in conventional or gr0stesque
designs which do. not pretend
to initiate nature. Cross you
may see in any old piece of Berlin
wool work: tent OF side is half a cross
stitch; leviathan is a double cross. one
cross straight, the one over it diagonal;
Gobein is straight or perpendicular
line; Italian or Holbein resembles side
stitch, but is sometimes worked hOri-
zontally OF perpendicularly as we'll as
diagonally.
Embroidery originally initiated paint
ing, so far as one art can initiate
another. But embroidery does not
closely initiate nature: a sort of conven-
tional effect with very little shading is
all that can be expected. To be better
than mere copying, however, eni-
broidery must express the individuality
of the worker. So, having learned the
foregoing stitches, play with your
needle, dabble with it, experiment with
it Just as you would with Your brush.

she ordered Harriet to have a fry put in

AN INFALLIBLE REMEDY.

She suffered with the phthisic, and had taken
tons of physic,
And whole barrelsful of bitters. and whole
loads of nauseous pills;
She'd been troubled with miasma, and all
choked up with asthma,
And been shaken for a month Or two with
ague and the chills;
She had had the yellow fever, of which moth
ing could relieve her.
And the rheumatism famed her so she could
not get about:
And she groaned with tonsilitis, and the most
acute bronchitis.
And she suffered enoless tortures from the
twinges of the govt;
She had tried old-school physicians, Chris
tian scientists, magicians,
Indian doctors, electricians and magnetic
healers, all;
And drank tons of nauseous liquor, but grew
even sicker and sicker;
And they got the undertaken to prepare her
shroud and pail.
Then great auction sales OF laces, advertised
in various places.
Caught her feverish eye one morning, and
she leaped up sound and we'll;
She shook off deaths stiffening rigor, and
with most emphatic vigor
She grabbed her husbands pocket-book
and rushed down town pell-mell.

tight, this being apparently the cause of
the remarkably slim waists which are
so characteristic feature of the Sculp-
lures and paintings of the ancient
Egyptians. The breadt of their cir
dies varied considerably. but they
were usually broad and made of linen.
The women appear to have frequently
worn two distinct girdles-one high up,
Immediately below the bosom, while the
hip bones. There is no reason to sup
pose that the one round the waist
proper was used to support any part of
the clothing. The Semitic races, who
derived their civilization mainly from
the Egyptians, also wore girdles as part
of their ordinary costume. With regard
to the Jews and Ph9nicians, we may
remark that girdles, which were worn by
both sexes, were recognized as being of
benefit is assisting active eXertion. AS
an Instance of this, the case of Elijah
may be Quoted-SecOnd Kings, xviii,
46-where it is stated that the prophet
s'girded up his loins" to run before
Ahab. AS is mentioned elsewhere in
Scripture Elijah wore leathern girdle,
and the words in the original. which
have been translated "glrded up

can De rendered more exactly DIV the
Latin fortiter constrinxit than the
usual English translation. which might
lead to the erroneous impression that
pulieg up of the skirts was meant. The
girding up of the lions referred to else
where in the Old Instrumentation exam
pie, with regard to the ceremonies OBJ
served at the feast of the Passover-has
the same Specification, and expresses
also the connection between such grid
ing and active eXertion. The Arab
tribes of our own day wear girdles
from their earliest infancy. and
we are informed by Prof. Rob
ertson Smith that in the case of the
Bedouins they are worn tight as a mat
ter of responsibility. He further tells
us that when he himself travelled in an
Arab dress he was instructed always to
draw his girdle tight. loose girdle
being regarded in the East, at the pres
ent day. as characteristic of dissolute,
luxurious person. In the privacy of
home life the girdle is either Ioosened
or removed. Many similar examples
could be given with regard to other
Semitic races.
