FACTS ABOUT LACE.
Some Things Not Generally Known About
Pretty and Odd Patterns.

Pretty and Odd Patterns.
Heirlooms in old laces are being
brought out from old chests and touched
up for dress. and also for curtains.
Point de toile coupe is the parent of our
degenerate cut-worls embroidery. 1t
travelled from Italy to Spain in the old
days, and SO to our English ancestors.
Among coarser laces designed for
house decoration are those made by
Calabrian women on strong nets, which
they weave and draw in soft red and
cream cotton, with a festooned edge.
Point de Margherita, the favorite for
curtains for the queen of Italy, dec
Grated with needle, is crewel and
chain stitches, and Russian lace, which
has been brought SO prominently for
ward in Paris this season.
This lace is happy fusion between
torchon and guipure, and is made by
the peasant women in the long winter
nights for bridals and burials, christen-
ing and church offers Nothing but the
purest linen thread is used for it, and
the patterns, which have preserved
their simple traditions by being handed
down from mother to daughter, are
picked out in blue, pale or royal, strong
red orange and golden brown.
The designs are barbaric and fre-
quently include birds and ducks, but
these Russian novelties, hitherto un-
known outside the empire of the czar,
lend themselves very gracefully to the
embroidered and colored cloths for
breakfast and luncheon now so much
used.
A precious lace cloth, owned by New
York lady, Mrs. Thompson, is known
as 1.-The last supper table CLOTH" be.

Italian paintings of the last supper.
American ladies are said to be par
ticularly fond of so-called bedroom

intelligence of his kind concerning
American customs, says lit is because

of sticking out his toes interferred

THE SOLDIERS NOBILITY.

Oehiltree Faced Twenty Thousand Strong
Alone, But His Horse Died.
The world-famous raconteur, Thomas
p. Ochiltree, is never at loss to adorn
an otherwise commonplace conversation
with story of thrilling adventure, mar
row escape or humorous incident. Re-
Gently at the Hoffman house number
of men were telling of narrow escapes,
when the colonel told of close place
he got into as follows:
Gentlemen, l was with Gen Dick
Taylor when he operated against Gen.
Banks in the transmississippi depart
ment. 1t was shortly after the battle
of Pleasant Hill, and Banks was re-
treating to Grand Ecore. One day we
got near Gen. Banks army and Gen.
Taylor asked me to head squadron of
cavalry and charge. l was mounted on
a coal black horse, and when 1 rode out
to take command of the squadron
never thought to come back from the
charge alive. We had to charge across
an open field, distance of one and one
half miles. l drew my sword, put
spurs to my horses sides and dashed
forward, ordering the cavalry to fol-
low. Some twenty thousand of Banks
infantry were drawn up in line just on
the edge of the field awaiting an attack.
OF course when started did not know
that twenty thousand men We're waiting
TO give a warm welcome to handful of
cavalry. When within three hundred
yards of the federals, l raised in my
stirrups and yelled to the squadron to
follow me l expected to hear each
cavalrymap yell, but to my dismay all
was silent. I turned my head to look,
when, horror upon horror the squadron
was over mile from me in swift re-
treat! l had been riding across the
Geld alone, thinking they were right
behind me. They had evidently seen
the thousands waiting to pour storm
of shot into US and had retreated, but
did not see them, as am near sighted.
OF course saw them when yelled. A

THE ENERGY OF CHILDREN.

An Essential to Success In Grown-up Life
There is sometimes an element of
6erceness in the energy of children.
They are not only lively and active and
noisy, but they are aggressively SO.
They are not satisfied without constant
attention and sympathy. Their elders
the other; and their placidity being con-
tinually stirred, the elders get weary of
schooling their souls to patience.
This aggressive energy is terrible
strain on rasped nerves and tired body.
1t is in such moments of stress of spirit
that the mother makes the hasty inn
patient speech, and then, with self
reproach, does for the child tenfold
more than she ought, to punish herself
for the brief sin.
1t is true, however, some may exclaim
against it, that all mothers do not merge
their whole being in motherhood. Some
times the spirit is willing but the flesh
is weak, and sometimes the spirit itself
rebels.
A woman who was the mother of
twelve children brought up her sons
and daughters to honor and love her.
She was model wife, friend and neigh
Dor. Years after her boys and girls
had grown up and were scattered she
confessed, II did used to get dreadfully
tired of my childrenr' She was q
faithful mother in spite Of the feeling,
perhaps better because of her percep-
ton of it, but she was woman first,
and it was hard to forget that
Jobs comforters" come around, say
ing: ''Think how badly you would feel
if you lost them. Think how you will
regret the trouble when they are grown
up solemn men and women" All that
is true enough, though, like some other
truths, no present relief But wheu
the infection is worst, it might afford a
little help to consider what wonderful
mercy it is that children do have such
an abundant stock of aggressive energy
to start with. What help it is in the
chances and changes of this troublesome
life. 1t is the energetic, enthusiastic
man who keeps bold front and stead
fast soul in the worlds battle Fields. II
is the energetic brave-spirited woman
who preserves happy youthful heart
and meets trials and tribulations with &
smiling defiance. Yes, the children will
need through life all the energy they
can command. Let us try to be thank
full they have such good supply to be
gin on.-Harpers Bazaar.

AN OLD FRIEND.
Tho Fortunate Recovery of a Soldiers
Wartime Musket.

Tho Fortunate Recovery of q Soldiers
Wartime Musket.
One of the happiest men who returned
from the Gettysburg memorial encamp-
ment is G. w. Bishing, of Harvey's
Lake, Pa. He was private in Capt.
Rice's company, Fifty-third Pennsyl-
vania volunteers. Bishing was shot
twice at Gettysburg, one bullet shatter-
ing an arm and another entering near
his right thigh. This occurred near the
bloody angle, and not far from the spot
on which the regimental monument
stands.
AS soon as he received the wounds he
set to work to bury his musket He fell
near a big rock, and, though suffering
great pain and bleeding profusely, he
managed to scoop out enough dirt at
the base of the bowlder to slip his mus
ket into the excavation. Afterward
he carefully covered it, and wondered
whether he should ever see it again.
Bishing accompanied the surviving
members of his old regiment to Gettys-
burg on the occasion of the dedication
of their monument While there, ac-
companied by several old comrades, he
had buried over twenty six years ago.
The bloody angle was easily found,
and he soon distinguished the huge
boulder at whose base he had fallen
and where he had hidden the gun. 1t
took but few moments to dig the earth
up, when, to his joy, he struck the
old muslset, and quickly resurrected
it. 1t had the appearance of Rip Van
Wrinkles fowling-piece. The stock had
fallen apart but was still in good state
of preservation. The barrel was bound
about with thick coat of rust, and the
lock and other portions were in the
same condition
Bishing lifted the old musket tender
ly, and as the recollection of the past
filed his mind, he kissed it with the
enthusiasm of father who has found
a long-lost child. He says he is poor,
but no money will buy the musket--

G. Gloger, Druggist, Watertown,

how remedies sell, and what true
merit they have. He hears of all
the failures and successes, and can
therefore judge: II know of no
