Ornaments Of PeafowI Feathers.

: Ornaments of PeafowI Feathers.
The pre.tiest story that has come across
the water for this long time, says 'HEool
6atherer'' in the New York Commercial
Adrer,isey, is that about Princess Maud
of Wales, who, it is said, gathers pesfowl
feathers from the royal barnyards. besides
begging them of her friends as well. and
works them up into dainty hand screens
that are afterward sold at fancy fairs for
the benefit Of poor children. and fetch a
pretty penny. Apropos of which. the
Wool Gatherer would tell all who in
cline 10 follow the royal lead, either for
the sake Of sweet charity or the adora-
ment Of their own abidinr places that
the soft, - . s,Eas. dozyn of VIM and
covefis 3 ttie- pest possible edging
for such screens. and that by peeling the
inner edge Of the long tail feathers they
may get something for covering the
handles that can be woven In and out,
after divers fashions, and closely approach
the effect Of bssket-carved ivory. In the
south, before the war, peafowl feather
Ely brush was the essential mark of
gentility, and the long handle was al
ways covered with weaving of the
shredded stems. The small slave
who ''kept of fiiesn had a talent
for going TO sleep in IN upright
position, and generally managed to hit
the master or the guest of the occasion
at least once, and more often twice or
thrice, IN the course of q meal, while the
butter and the old fashioned high silver
casters were almost equally favorite
points of attack. During the war pea
fowl feather fans, made BY Sc wing the
small eyes or neck and breast feathers
upon pasteboard or palm leaves were all
therage, and some that linger in our
memory were OF workmanship so ex-
luisite that they would not suffer by
contrast with the feather fans 1ow i'm
ported. But altogether the most artistic
use Of such plumage was made by an old
lady so drawn and twisted with rheu-
matism that she could barely use the
fingers Of one hand. She was much
alone and reading after q while palled
on her. In youth she had been a flower
maker. and when one day her small
grandson filed her lap with bright feath-
ers she amused herself aud him by
clustering them up after the manner Of
rose petals. From that she began to
form them into blossoms of all sorts
roses, camellias, pinks, asters, dablias
and 50 on, using the plumage of wild
birds in natural tints, those Of geese,
ducks and pigeons for the white flowers,
aud making leaves for ali of the small
green and blue green feathers from the
peafOwls' neck and breast. Though not
exactly natural looking. many OF the
sn-avs and hounuafs xvara raaliv artistic

with interest much time that would
otherwise have been intolerably lonely.

The Fellowship Meetings.

The Fellowship Meetings at Eden
Corners and North Hyde Park last
week were fairly attended, the pro-
gram well rendered, and the results
will be found to have been profitable.
The general topic at the Eden meet
ing was "Christ's Law the Basis of
Good Society" Rev. Mr.. Anderson
opened with an excellent sermon on
the text "The fear of the Lord is the
beginning of knowledge, and Rev.
Mr.. Fisk closed with one on ''The end
of the commandment is charity"
All the speakers were present except
one; the little church has earned the
respect of the community; and it's
guests expect to hear of its growth.
At North Hyde Park the general
topic was "The Bible and the Sane
tuary Mans Best Blessings
Rev. Messrs, Smith and Tenney
were moderators of the two meetings
respectively and save for the bad
weather the houses would probably
have been as full as the boxes were at
the "box dinners" The closing SER
mon was on the text eve will not
forsake the house of our God" If
the Congregational churches of La
noble county only knew it, this pro-
gram is well worthy of number of
this winter.

A Reproach to Our Civilization.


The Washington Star says that
dent of the @Bnited States who has
suggested legislation for the protec-
ton of railroad employees, thus broad
ening the field ofnatiOnal law-making
and encouraging deserving body of
workmen. In his first annual mes
sage he recites thefact that the atten-
ton of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission has been called to the urgent
need of Congressional action for the
better protection of the lives and
limbs of those engaged in operating
the great interstate freight lines of
the country, and especially of the
yardmen and brakemen. The Star
agrees with the president that it is a
reproach to our civilization that any
class of American workmen should,
in the pursuit of a necessary and use
full vocation, be subjected to peril
of life and limb as great as that of a
soldier in time of war Nearly 1000
railway brakemen petitioned the Com
mission asking that steps might be
taken looking to the use of automatic
brakes and couplers on freight cars,
and the State railroad commission
ers, in their meeting here last March,
adopted unanimously, upon the invi-
tation of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, q resolution urging the
Commission to consider what can be
done to prevent the loss of life and
limb in freight car coupling and I'M
coupling and in handling the brakes
of such cars. 1t is an astounding
fact that in a single year, or between
June 80, 1887, and June 80, 1888,
over 1000 railway employees were
killed in service and more than 20, 900
injured. Surely this slaughter and
wholesale manning can bestopped by
a little judicious and constitutional
legislation Public Opinion.

Our Annual Collecting Trip.

As has been our custom for many
years, a representative of the NEWS
AND CITIZEN will visit the several
towns in this vicinity within the next
few weeks, for the purpose of receiving
subscriptions for this paper. The
collector expects to meet many OF the
old subscribers and hopes also to
see a large number of new ones. On
the second page of this paper, in the
first column, will be found a complete
clubbing list. Look it over carefully,
make your selections and have them
ready when we visit your town. We
want to see those who are in arrears,
as well as those who pay in advance.
1t takes considerable money to run a
newspaper, and although the amount
each subscriber may owe us is small,
yet in the aggregate it amounts to a
large sum. So it is easy to see how
important it is that everybody pays.
