Wages of Lace Makers

The finest lace that is made today is the
point de gaze. This is made in Belgium.
The net itself is needlework, upon which
the pattern is wrought, while the net is
stretched over a background of paper. The
work is exceedingly fine and exacting, and
because of its tediousness those who are
engaged in the manufacture of it are sell
dom able to earn more than a few cents a
day. Not much better than this are the
wages of the torchon workers, who make
the real torchon in a little town in the
south of France called LIE Puy. During a
year of ordinary labor they average from
four to six cents a day, although in special
years, when there is a greater demand for
their varieties Of lace, they sometimes earn
from twenty to sixty cents a day.-New
York Evening Sun.

Big Partridge Story,

A western journal relates the following:
A few mornings ago Thomas Trees went
down the creek from his fathers house to
examine some traps he had set. While in
specting the traps he heard his dog max
ing an unusual noise some distance below
him. On going to the dog he found him
lying on the ground and cartridges stick
ing out all around his body. The dog had
found a flock, and alighting in the midst
had pinioned ten, but when he rose up
eight of them escaped, he still holding two
with his paws. Thomas secured the two
partridges-the others all escaping. This
Is an extraordinary feat for a dog, and only
needed WORD from the young man TO have
secured the whole Of the birds originally
captured by the dog.

SEAL FINiSHERS.
Hand Must BE Exceedingly Skillful to
Sew the Costly Sacques of Fur.

Hands Must BE Exceedingly Skillful to
Sew the Costly Sacques of Fur.
In the summer and autumn there is
plenty Of work for seal finishers or girls
who know how to sew sealskins and other
furs. The employment of girls in this sort
of work is comparatively recent. A few
years ago the cutting and sewing of fur
skins were mainly done by men. Some
times a man would teach his wife or his
daughter, but the men ~monopolized the
best work and earned good wages. There
Is a skin cutter now working as a Journey
man In this city who Is said to be worth
100000, and yet works his regular hours.
He has introduced several generations of
his family into one or another branch of
the business.
OF late years the sharp competition
which has got into the fur business as
we'll as other lines of trade has led to in
creased employment of females as sewers.
The work is nice, and requires a good deal
Of skill. The smooth, even color of a lady's
new sealskin sacque is not produced with
out a good deal of patient skill and dex-
terity. Of course skins do not come per-
feet. There are slight blemishes that need
to be corrected. The skillful cutter takes
a skin n blows the hair aside until he
can see the roots all over the skin. If he
finds a spot that is bare of hair he must
select a piece of skin to fit it, and the hair
must be exactly of the right length to fit.
On a seal the hair near the tail is shorter
than the hair near the head. OF course q
piece of fur from near the tail will not fit
In a bare spot neal the head of a skin. The
cutter has a peculiar method of shaping
the pieces to be set in, and this must be
understood by the girls who do the sew
ing, SO that a girl who has worked at the
business becomes an expert, and a girl who
has not served an apprenticeship at sewing
furs Is of little use in the shop.
1t is not an unusual thing for one large
establishment to have fifty or sixty girls
sewing furs in the busy season in summer
The most expert girls readily get employ
ment the year round, while those who are
less expert are the first to be discarded, and
go from shop to shop. The wages earned
is somewhat higher than the prices paid
for ordinary sewing, rs the business is
somewhat unhealthy and requires consid-
cradle skill. The girls earn from 50 a week
upward. Frequently when fur houses ad-
~vertise for help girls apply who are totally
ignorant of the business, and pretend that
they know how, but they are soon found
out and discharged.-New York Sun.

Why They Are Called Alligator Pears.
Did you ever see 81 alligator pear? If
not, take a look at the first uncouth OBJ
ject on a fruit stand, and you will strike it

They weigh about a pound apiece, and
when unripe are as green as the man who
thinks he can be elected to congress, and
when ripe are about the color of a second
hand mahogany. bedstead with plenty of
varnish sprinkled over it.
They derive their name from the fact

get a plentiful supply by standing on their
heads and knocking the fruit off the limbs
Of the tree with their tails.-Florida Times

The Gypsy Moth.

Worcester (Mass.) Gazette: The
rise and progress OF the gypsy moth
and responsibilities of exterminating
that insect are soon to occupy the
attention of the Massachusetts
legislature. The moth gained it's
foothold in the state very peculiarly.
About twenty years ago an entomol-
ogist of Medford secured some of the
insects from Europe to experiment
with them in the line of possible silk
production. They escaped from him
by accident, their progeny have be-
come acclimated, and their increase
has been such as to cause alarm.
During last season an area in the
town about six miles long and three
miles wide was literally stripped OF
every green thing by the insects in
their caterpillar stage of existence.
Now the limbs Of all the trees in this
district are covered with eggs, hun
dreds in q bunch, protected by the
coverings common to this stage of
insectproduction. The details of last
seaon's ravages have been made
matters of record at the meeting of
the Massachusetts board of agricul-
ture, and in the presentation of the
affairs for legislative consideration.
The extent Of the danger threatened
next season was disclosed during q
visit of several members of the legis-
lative committee on agriculture to
Medford and the edge Of Middlesex
Falls. These visitors were escorted
about the devasted area and through
the egg-laden woodland by a large
number of the citizens of Medford,
and are reported "astounded at the
sights"

A Religious Difference.

Mr.. and Mrs. Willis, OF Mclean

so the madam, who was a wife of
only a few hours, sat up all night
and went home next morning. John
Willis, a widower, highly respected in
Mclean County, married Mrs. Fife
Pinkston n couple of days ago. A
wedding supper was served at Mr..
Willis home, to which large number
Of guests were invited. All went
merrily until late in the evening,
when discussion arose about re-
ligion, and Mr.. Willis found that he
and his bride differed on some cardin-
al points of doctrine. The discus
sion got decidedly warm, and the
company, one by one, withdrew as
things began to grow unpleasant, so
that the pair were left with only q
sister of Mr. Willis in the house. This
sister, after a silence of half an hour
had followed the war OF words, named
the hour and suggested that it was
time to retire. Mrs. Willis warmed
to her subject again, and declared
that she was not going to retire in
that house that night or any other
night. Her husband offered to
withdraw the supplementary Ian
guage he had used in debate, but the
proposition was not accepted. Every
entreaty failed, and the irate woman.
whose religious convictions had not
been respected in the house of her
husband, sat stock still in her chair
until daylight, when she set out on
foot for her former home, refusing to
