Old Fashioned Tattinc.

Everything works in circles we arr
told. and the wheel of time has turned
around to bring back the old style OF
fancy work known as tatting. OF
course there are new ideas with il.
That is always the case, else it would
scarcely take among the novelty-seek-
ers Just at the outset, however, the
only novel feature is in the shuttles,
which are elaborate in the extreme,
many of them being of gold or silver
deliberately chased or engraved The
practical individual, however, who
wants to make tatting will infinitely
prefer the old-fashioned, hard-rubber
shuttle, which is as smooth as glass,
and has no catchy points or obstruc-
tons on which the threads are likely to
be caught. Some pretty edgings have
been made by the use of torchon or
other heavy lace as foundation, the
tatting edge being applied to them
Any expert in tatting can readily see
how this can be done. Many edgings
have little points, and through these
the thread from the shuttle Is drawn
as the work proceeds For an occupa-
ton to kill time tatting has Its uses,
but as practical sort of work it will
scarcely be likely TO attract the stten-
ton If Industrious people-N. Y.

Texas Women

The women of Texas are slow In tax

sisters of Kansas in any of the new
tangled fashions You can travel in
Texas. the best portion of it, for a week
and never see dress or a bonnet or q
hat that reminds you of anything you
ever saw in a fashion plate. Some o:
the women are we'll dressed, it must be
admitted. so far a. the material is con-
cerned, but there is no such thing about
them as our women in the north call
style. Their gowns are severely plain.
In the north a woman in crossing a wet
street-crossing deity raises the hem of
her garment from the rear, and thus
avoids the slush The Texas woman
grabs her skirts by the sides and lifts
them in the way her great-grandmother
did There Is another thing about a
Texas woman that is noticeable. She
never wears glasses 1t Is not meant,
of course. that no woman in Texas
wears glasses, but the exceptions are
rare. In the north, even in Kansas,
which is made up of northern people,
one cannot travel a mile without see
ing more women with glasses than
those who do not wear them. The
Texas women have no literary look in
this respect. Perhaps it is Just as we'll

A FULL EXPLANATION.
Gen. Palmer. of the G. A. R, on the Con-
federate Flag Matter.

Gen. Palmer. of the q. A. R, on the Con-
federate Flag Matter.
ATLANTA, Ga, Feb 1O.-At the time
of the unwilling of the Grady monu-
ment here it was reported to Com
mauder-in-chief Palmer that the Grand
Army post OF this city had marched in
the procession in which confederate
flags were carried. This brought out
al order from Gen Palmer in which he
commanded that hereafter G. A. r
organizations should not take part in
such parades
In reply to this the boys of that post
met and sent communication in which
they declared that, while they had no
apology to make for their action, they
would have preferred that the flag had
not been carried as it was inappropri-
ate to the occasion and gave opportun-
ity for the creation OF expressions of
ll-feeiing over dead issues
Gen. Palmer's reply to this was read
before the post on Saturday night He
reiterated his former position, and said:
"A rebel uniform in anv loyal citvi
Il is simply adding insult to injury. He
has as much right to bear the traitors
flag through the streets of a loyal city
as to wear the traitors garb. 1t is
against the terms OF surrender and an
act of hostility against the government
of the United States Idonotquestion
your right as citizens TO mingle and
fraternize with the men against whom
you fought ! believe that the gallautry
of the two armies should ever be the
pride o; the American people. The
Grand Army OF the Republic has in
vIted differentiation, but it has never
agreed, never consented, and never VIII,
that its members wearing the badge
and uniform OF the order should
march under anything that has the
semblance Of a confederate flag. As
the survivors Of that grand army which
saved the union and the stars and
stripes from cishonor we recognize our
late foes in arms as brave and gallant
soldiers. We desire their success and
rejoice in their prosperity. We are a
united country and a united people,
and no flag should be carried that will
tend to srouse q feeling of animosity
or revenge in the minds of the young
generation of the south"

GATHERING IT IN.

Seldom is complaint made Of too
generous return from the land. Judging,
however. by the reports from across the
line the Canadians in the prairie prov
inces had this ye1r such an abundant
crop that they could with difficulty han
die it, and in some instances contented
themselves for the present with market
ing only the choicest OF their fields.
They may be envisd by some, but no
man grudges them their good fortune.
for the same advantages which they
possess are open to all who choose to
avail themselves of the opportunity to
possess q share of the land that is 50
fruitful. And whether on one side of
the line or the other it is all adding to
the wealth of the American Continent.
And they exhibit no churlishness in the
matter, come one come all is the princi-
pie that actuates them in the distribu-
ton of their lands. They ask no ques-
lions about mans nationality or opin-
ions. If he wants land he Is free to
take it, without money and without
price. 1t is enough for them that he
wishes, as they do, to enjoy his home,
make enough money and join with them
in educating the children and providing
for the family. And they have such a
wealth of the most fertile land in the
world they are only anxious that the
newcomer should make good selection
and become prosperous. And their gov
eminent and railway companies have
taken care that he shall make no mis-
take if they can prevent it. Careful
surveys have been made even of the
new districts so that an incomer may in
Winnipeg learn as much concerning
any specified section as if he were on
the ground himself. The park lands of
Assiniboia, the fertile valleys of the
Saskatchewan and the dairy and ranch
ing country of Alberta are pierced by
railways all centering in Winnipeg.
The tide that is beginning to set into
these western farming districts is not
much to be wondered at.
