with darning needles. All the pockets
have narrow border across the top and

tween these stripes the ground was cover
ed with lines of cross stitch done
with rather Ane black silk, giving

Our neighbor Rhode Island has suffered
a humiliation which it never expected.
There has been shortage in the supply
of CLANS there this season. and it is sadly
related that famous Rhode Island clam
bake provider has been obliged to buy
some of his clans in Massachusetts. Such
a state of things makes the Inhabitants of
Rhode Island thoughtful. They have
never hitherto considered that the worthy
clam might have his limitations. Summer
after summer has he cheerfully responded
when called upon to die for the good of
mankind in the generous clambake. Not
q protest has been heard from him, and he
has never failed in patience and sweetness.
But at last he is making himself scarce.
Nearly all the clans in Rhode Island have
been found between Sabin Point and War
rem on the east shore and Gaspee and
Couimicut points on the west shore. Only
two months ago clans were thickly en-
bedded at Conimicut point, but at present
found. But there is ground for confidence
that the clam is not en- tirely going back on
the little State for whose fame he has
done 30 much. While 1t cannot be doubted
that the clam "sets'' are falling off in
number in the old gro unds, the news
comes that the entire shore on the west
side of the Providence river, from Con-
imicut point to Turtle cove gives promise
of an abundant crop next year. A similar
story comes from the shores of Greenwich
bay.
Several reasons for the present condi-
tiops of things are given. One is that the
CLANS are dug up in many instances before
they are half grown. It is necessary to
the development of the clam that during
the first part of its existence it remain
embedded in the sand, and the promiscu-
GUS turning up of young CLANS by diggers
results in the floating of thousands Of the
shellfsh ashore, where they soon die. The
extreme heat of the present summer is
said to be another cause Of the scarcity of
CLAIMS, the shoal water of the beds having
reached temperature in which they can
not thrive. It behooves the Rhode Is
landers to pay careful attention to the
matter

THE CHOLERA.

IHE CHOLEHAs
Doubtless the reports concerning the
ravages of cholera are somewhat ex-
aggerated, and, a. usual in epidemics,
there is too much fear. But the situation
Is undoubtedly serious and calls for the
careful consideration of all concerned.
The disease has been travelling westward
from Persia, and is now active in parts of
Russia, Germany, France and Belgium.
It is not probable that 1t will be confined
to those countries. Its appearance in
England may be expected soon, and it is
more than probable that there will be
more or less of the disease in this country,
though it is so late in the year that it may
not get much of start here. Il Is
encouraging that the sanitary authorities
in New York and other ports are fully
alive to the situation, and are prepared to
vigorously dispute the entrance of the
scourge. They will do all that can be
done.
While II is well to be enough afraid Of
the cholera to take precautions against 1t,
It is not well to be panic-stricken on &C.
count of it. The thing to do is to keep
cool, keep busy, be careful about eating,
and especially careful about drinking, and
live temperately generally. If sanitary
science is what it claims to be, there will
probably not be an extensive cholera cpl
demic in this country, and if there should
happen to be one, right and careful living
will be the best protection against it.
Owing to the record made by cholera be-
fore there was protection against it it has a
dreadful reputation. But it will have to
work briskly to slay as many as the simply
named grip did. Don't fear the cholera on
account of it's name.

LONDON, Aug. Is.
To the Editor Of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
There are between $4,000 and 10000
costermongers in the city of London.
Their vocation is the same as that of the
street hawkers of American cities; but
thoss who have made the most careful
study of the latter, can form no proper
idea of the chsracteristices of the former
without personal acquaintance.
There is good reason for this. Our
street vender of fish, fruits and vegeta-
bles comprise an ever changing host of
widely varying and uncopgenial national
tiles. A hawker In our country, from
whatever race he has sprung, never re-
mains a hawker longer than necessity
compels. If he is not successful in his
ventures between markets and customers,
he shortly drops out of the braying
throng and engages vigorously in another
calling. If his voice, his swsyback steed
and his ramshackle wagon bring him pro-
fit, he will make the best bargain possible
to another aspirant for his belongings,
route and ''good WILL" is shortly found in
possession of a market stall or grocery, and
ever after soorns the vocation and asso.
oiations which gave him prosperity.

this fact as well as his strange personali

CROSS STITCH EMBRoIDERIEs.

CROSS STITCH EMBROIDERIES.
The old-fashioned cross stitch of the
samplers, now known as Russian Gross
stitch, is much in vogue for ornamenting
house linen of all kinds. Towels, tea and
lunch cloths, center squares for tables,
with doylies to match, laundry bags, chill
dren's dresses, and even sheets and pillow
cases are bordeIed with simple geometric
patterns, usually. worked in Russian
fashion, with two or even three different
colors. Red and dark blue embroidery cot
ton upon a white or cream-tinted ground
forms pleasing combination; upon q
darker foundation q few stitches of yellow
add q warm and rich touch of color. If
the material is not in squares or checks, or
ID too closely woven to furnish guide for
the stitches, strip of embroidery canvas
is basted upon 1t and the stitches worked
over it, the canvas threads being drawn
out when the pattern is completed:
Such embroidery, worked with silks
upon ribbon or bands of fine wool, has
been used for trimming summer costumes
of white, blue or gray serge, the collar,
| euffs. belt and edges of the Russian blouse
being effectively decorated with cross
stitch designs In bright and harmonious
colors. In fact, the entire blouse is often
made by sewing these strips together, GOV.

Owing 10 the fact that med cal treat

Tor tlrsi-ciass medical treatment al an
inexpensive rate.
Many people today are sex and re-

not afford 10 have them. IL they lake
any medicine at al, IL Is some cheap
remedy or a patent medicine that has
been protusely advertised, and which
fails utterly III reaching the seat Of the
sufferers trouble.
To meet the popular demand for
tlrst-class medical services al low
rate for treatment, the Copeland Mocl-
cal Institute has been established IA
Grand Rapids. This institute is IN a
handsome, palatial residence building
at 1872 +. Fulton street, on the corner
of Sheldon. ltis beautifully furnished
and fully equipped for the treatment
OF all diseases. Drs. Copeland and
Graham make speciality OF treating
catarrh aud diseases of the nose, throat
and lungs. hut they treat all other dis
eases as well.
ing from any disease can obtain treat
ment at tins popular institute and re-
ceive all the medicines that are re-
Qoired TO cure, without any extra cost.
This offer is good only until the first OF
November. after which time s. month
will be charged for catarrh and kindred
diseases only.
There are other physicians IN Grand
Rapids who advertise. but there are no
physicians In this city who guarantee
TO treat all diseases at the rate of s. per
month and furnish the medicines free.
Drs. Copeland and Graham want every
man, woman and child in this COM
munity who is suffering from any
physical disorder TO cali upon them.
These physicians have large experi-
ence, are of recognized ability, and
have demonstrated what they can do.
There is no reason why anyone should
suffer when these physicians can re-
lieve and cure. No falrer proposition
can be submitted than that which they
make. 1t should recommend itself TO
everybody in Grand Rapids who re-
quires the services of physician
There is no use IN paying high prices
