QUITE A SURPRISE.
Mr.. McKenna Signifies HIS Intention OF
Voting for the Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON, May Il. Notwith-
standing the report of Representative
McKenna, of California, the representa-
tive of the Pacific coast on the ways
and means committee, dissenting from
the sugar schedule of the tariff bill, it
is understood that Mr.. McKenna will
vote for the bill as whole, contenting
himself with offering amendments when
the sugar schedule is reached in the de-
bate on the bill proper during the week.
Mr. McKenna, when he saw that the
ways and means committee was firm in
its decision regarding sugar, agreed to
act in harmony with his Republican
associates in securing the passage of the
bill. and acting on this agreement he
decided not to make speech during the
four days general debate which closed
Saturday. although he was entitled to
unlimited time as member of the ways
and means committee.

OLD LACE.

Many of our girls, an exchange,do
not know why oldlace is often so much
more valuable, and generally so much
more beautiful, than new. The fact is
that the valuable old lace is all woven
in lost patterns. 1t is frequently as fine
as a spiders film, and cannot be repro
duced. The loss of patterns was a Sc
we're check to lace making in France and
Belgium, and was occasioned by the
French revolution. Before that, whole
villages supported themselves by lace
making, and patterns were handed down
from one generation to another. They
were valuable heir-lOomS, for the most
celebrated weavers always had as many
orders as they could execute in a life
time, and they were bound by solemn
oath to work only for certain dealers.
When the Reign of Terror began, all
work of this kind was interrupted for a
time. After the storm had subsidized,
the dealers and workers were far apart
some dead, some lost, and some es-
capped to foreign lands, and such of the
women as remained were bound by
their oath to work for but one; and this
oath, in spite of Robespierre's doctrines,
was held by the poorest of them to be
binding, and there were instances where
they suffered actual want rather than
break their word. Some, however, taught
their children and their grandchildren,
and many patterns were in this way pre-
served. Some of the daintiest and finest
patterns were never recovered, and to-
day specimens of these laces are known
to be worth their weight in gold.

UNFORTUNATE INTERRUPTION

UNtOHlO NA1E IN H1lON.
Our Little Ones.
Willie was asleep and Dan'was lonely.
Willie is the ministers's son, Dan was
his dog. 1t was Sunday morning and
every one was at church but these two
friends. 1t was warm and sunny, and
they could hear the preaching, for their
house was next door to the church.
"Dan," said Willie, "it is better here
than in church, for you can hear every
word, and don't get prickles down your
back, as you do when you have to sit
up straight.
In some way, while Willie was listen
ing he fell asleep.
Dan kissed him on the nose, but when
Willie went to sleep he went to sleep to
stay, and did not mind trifles. So Dan
sat down with the funniest look of care
on his wise, black face, and with one
ear ready for outside noises.
Now the minister had for his subject,
"Daniel." This was the name he always
gave Dan when he was teaching him
to sit up and beg, and other tricks
While the dog sat thinking, the name
Daniel fell in his ready ear. Dan at
once ran to the church through the ves-
try door. He stood on his hind legs,
with forepaws dropping close beside the
minister, who did not see him, but the
congregation did When the minister
shouted Daniel again, the sharp barks
said, "Yes, sir,'' as plainly as Dan could
answer.
The minister started back, looked
around, and saw the funny little picture;
then he wondered what he should do
next, but just then through the ves-
try came Willie. His face was rosy
from sleep, and he looked little fright
ened. He walked straight toward his
father, and took Dan in his arms, and
said:
"Please 'scuse Dan, papa. 1 went
asleep and Dan he ruined away"
The he walked out with Dan looking
back on the smiling congregation. The
preacher ended his sermon on Daniel as
best he could; but then he made a re-
solve, if he ever preached again on the
prophet Daniel, he would remember to
tie up his little dog.

THERE are three kinds of unsellish-
ness-that which springs from sense
of duty, that which springs from ma
turaI benevolence toward ones species,
and that which springs from love. The
first of these is a conscious unselishness;
the second is so in less degree; but the
third may be and very often is uncon-
scious of itself altogether. None the
less it needs to be dragged into the light
now and then and carefully examined,
lest it too, beautiful though it is, should
degenerate then and there into some
thing not very far removed from the op-
posite.
