EDITOR INDEX: feel 1t a duty to
apologize for the false fire alarm of Sat
urday evening. My wife wishing to rid
the chicken house of lice and bugs,

ing the roosts and other infected places.
The light was seen through the window

gave the alarm, thinking 1t was in the
barn. l was near the railroad at the
sound of the alarm and a small fire
started near the wagon bridge over the
railroad cut, which called out num-
Der of persons. This fire was started
by the locomotive L think. l knew
nothing of the true alarm until Mr.

We shall have seven cottages in which

elsewhere will be seen at work. weaving,
spinning, dyeing, sprigging, carving, etc.
The eiils will look very pretty 10 Come
mara red pttlicoate. fshwife skirts and
blouses, and scarlet closks. 10 the first
cottage will be a precise model OF cot'
tsge in Donegal, with undressed walls OF

seen dyeing and spinning our famous

be an imitation pest fire, and on this the
dyer will from time to time place her iron
pot, and proceed to dye the wool. This
operation is certain to prove immensely
attractive to sightseers. and, as well rs the
csriing, spinning, and bobbin filling,
which will be shown here, is On extremely
interesting process.
In the second cottage tbers will be linen
weaving and embroidering OF the famous
Kels AIT Embroidery ;whilst linen damask
weaving on jacquard hand loom and
fringe knottipg will go on in the third cot,
ta9e. Between this and the next cottage
there will be model dairy, in which dali
rymaids will be at work churning and but
termaking. ] can assure our American
cousins they will have chance Of some
good butter, as we shall send over some OF
the world famed Kerry cows, which will
be ftsbed at The rear There will also be
a pleasant, cool spot here where visitors
can rect aud drink iced milk.
Ia the fourth cottage. which is under
the especial care OF the Irish Industries
Association. every description OF Irish lace
will be shown. There will be Limerick
lace worker at her frame. the Torcbon lace
worker at the pillow. the numerous vsrie,
ties OF point lace. and SO forth.
Sprigging and veiniGg, which arc EN-
ployed 10 the production OF the beautiful
hemstitched handkerchiefs OF Belfast, will
be shown 10 the next cottage. The girls
Of Down are especially noted for their ex
