Poor LacemakerS of Europe.

Valenciennes lace is manufactured in
Belgium. It is made on a lace pillow.
The pattern is pricked on a revolving
cylinder and then pins are stuck in these
holes. The thread is wound on bobhins
and the lacemaker has to play them in
and out among the pins. Valencieunes
lace brings from $25 to 5000 a yard.
There is not much ostentation about it,
but it is an aristocrat1c appearing lace,
modest and elegant. These lacemakers
can earn about twenty cents day for
their labor.
In the South of France is made the
torchon lace, which, perhaps is more gen.
orally used than other lace material. It
is made like the Valenciennes on lace
pillow at little town called LIE Puy.
The women Of this place make laces that
sell all the way from two cents to SIS a
yard. During the ordinary years of their
work they earn from four to six cents
day, but once in a while good fortune
strikes them. This is when there is
popular demand for a certain kind of
material, such as the yak or the guipure
lace, which are made on the same kind
of cushion as the torchon. When this
demand for these special hues comes they
may be able to earn by diligent work as
much as forty or sixty cents day. But
such good luck is at the best spasmodic
and temporary.
The torchon lacemakers are poorer
than any of the rest. In the villages
throughout the mountains they are so de-
void Of even the necessaries of life that
public ovens are built for their use.
Fires are lighted in these ovens about
once week as measure of economy,
and to them these lacemakers brings
their bread TO be baked. Yet they are
clearly in their habits and seem to enjoy
life quite as well as the more fortunate in
this world.
The English thread laces are made near
Devonshire in the south of England.
The old thread lacemakers are dying out
and their places are not being filed by
younger blood. AS a result the trade can
never get enough of these thread laces to
satisfy the demand.
The duchesse lace is another Belgium
product. In this kind of laces the fig
ures are made on pillows and then are
joined into patterns by the lacemakers
afterward. Duchess lace is sold from 81
to $50 yard. Chicago Post.

Japanese Railways.

In the matter of railways Japan ap-
pears to be going ahead tolerably fast.
Considerably over 1000 miles are already
in operation, while an equal amount is
under construction or surveyed, and will
be open within year or two from now.
The projected railways exceed 700 miles
in length, with a capital exceeding $780,

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
POOR HARNESS.

There is great difference in the quality
of harness, and this largely depends upon
the leather. Only that which is
thoroughly tanned should be used. The
sweat from horses working or hotlY
driven eats into the best leather fast
enough, but for that poorly tanned it is
almost Immediately destructive. In
buying harness it is true economy to pay
higher price and get the best.--Boston

LINCOLN'S MELANCHOLY.
His sympathetic Nature and His Early
Misfortunes.

MisfOrtunes.
Those WHO saw much of Abraham Lincoln
during the later years OF his life, were greatly
impressed with the expression OF profound
melancholy his face always wore in repose.
Mr. Lincoln was of peculiarly sympathe-
TIC and kindly nature. These strong charac-
teristics influenced, very happily, as it proved,
his entire political career. They would not
seem, at first lance, to be efficient aids 10
political success: but in the peculiar emer-
gency which Lincoln, in the providence of
God was called to meet, vessel of COM
mon clay could possibly have become the
chosen OF the Lord"
Those acquainted with him from boyhood
knew that early griefs tinged his whole life
with sadness His partner in the grocery
business at Salem, was Uncle Billy Green,
of Tallula, ILL.,. who used at night, when the
customers were few, to hold the grammar
while Lincoln recited his lessons.
1t was to 8 sympathetic ear Lincoln told
the story of his love for sweet Ann Rutlidge;
and he, in return, offered what comfort he
could when poor Ann died, ami Llncoln's
great heart nearly broke.
After Ann died, ;" says Uncle Billy ''on
stormy nights when the wind blew the rain
against the roof, Abe would set thar in the
grocery, his elbows on his knees, his face in
his hands, and the tears 'runnin' through his
fingers. I hated to see MIN feel bad, an I'd
say, Abe don't cry, and he'd look up an
say, 4 can't help it, Bill, the rains a fallin'
on her,"
There are many who can sympathiZe with
this overpowering grief, as they think of a
lost loved one, when the rains fallin' on
her." What adds poignancy to the grief
sometimes is the thought that the lost one
might have been saved
Fortunate, indeed, is William Johnson, of
Corona, L. l., a bui der who writes June %,
1890: Last February, on returning from
church one night, my daughter complained
of having a pain in her ankle. The pain
gradually extended until her entire limb was
swollen and very painful to the touch. We
called physician, who after careful exam
nation, pronounced it disease of the kidneys
of long standing. All we could do did not
seem to benefit her until we tried Warmers
Safe Cure; from the first she commenced to
improve When she commenced taking it
she could not turn over in bed, and could
just move her hands a little, but to-day she
is well as she ever was. l believe l owe
the recovery of my daughter to its use"
The number of Iunatics under restraint
in the district criminal and private luna
tic asylums of Ireland on the first day of
this year amounted to Is, 159, being an
increase of 474 over the total recorded
in the previous return.

In 1850 il was under the following in

general restraint thereof us much as in

In Princes Annals of New Eng

sentiment was embodied in the laws OF
this colony. In 1852 il was ordered
that no person shall take any tobacco
publicly. md that every one shall pay
penny sterling for any time Of taking
tobacco IN any place"
Two years later; The general court
forbid any person 10 Use tobacco pub
licly on fine Of 2s Cd. or privately in
his own dwelling. or dwelling of an
other, before strangers. and they also
forbid two or more TO use it in any
