The Home of Lacemaking.

Belgium is by all odds the greatest
lacemaking country in the world. Laces
seem to be the favorite work of women
in all parts of Europe, but no nation can
compare to Belgium in the variety or
fincness of the work. There are no laces
made in the United States; that is for
the market. Now and then some lace
makers may emigrate. to this country, but
if they continue in their work their pro-
ducts do not come into the market and
really cut no figure at all. The reason
for this is obvious When one of these
miserably paid toilers reaches America it
does not take her long to find out that
she can make many times more money
than she can by her lace work, and SO
she will soon find other and more remu-
nerative employment. Besides, the pro-
gress of lacemaker is very slow. Of
some kinds of laces a maker can finish,
perhaps, two yards ina day; butin other
kinds those of the finest textures she
cannot make as much as an inch in day.
Those laces that are finished on pillows
are the kinds that are made in the least
time. Fine laces are very durable, and
with proper caution will last for genera
tions. But they require great care, be-
cause, being so very fragile, they are
easily torn. II Chicago Post.

The New Mahdi.

Much Indignation is expressed in
France over the fact that Samudoo, the
so-called West of Africa Mahdi, who re-
Gently made treaty Of friendship with
the English, followed up by purchasing
from the Britisha large quantity of guns
and cartridges, and thereupon proceeded
to attack the French.
Notwithstanding his guns he got the
worst of the fight, his favorite command
er, Savas Pasha, being killed in hand
to-hand fight with French lieutenant of
Senegalese troops. Samudos is now en-
gagged in rousing the people of the West
ern Soudan for an attack on the French.
He is said to be as peculiar an indi-
vidual as the original Mahdi, who caused
so much trouble to the British in Egypt.
Born in the kingdom of Bornu, his
mother was a Nubian slave of an Arab
trader.
His father took good care of him, and
as he grew up he became imbued with
the idea that it was his mission to restore
the sumpremacy of the prophet in West
ern Africa. The King of Bornu, MOTTO
ing that the young man was ambitious,
ordered him to be decapitated as lesson
to other ambitious youths. Ssmudoo
wds warned by friend, said to have
been one of the Sultan's, and fen to SEN
egal There he curbed his fanaticism
under Christian protection until the dis
turbances in Bornu tempted him to re-
turn.
The dissatisfied element accepted him
as leader and he made himself master
of the country, displaying too little mill
tary ability. The king of Bornu was one
of his prisoners and Samudoo sat down
to his first dinner in the royal palace with
the monarch's head on a plate before
him. He is now master of considerable
share of West Africa, and the British
have been glad to purchase his friend
ship. i San Francisco Chronicle.
