BLACK LACES.

Points of Information for the Home
Dressmaker.
The finest black lace known to manu-
facturers is black Chantilly. 1t is usu-
ally not quite as expensive as the white
Duchess lace. In three-inch width,
it costs from two and half to three or
four dollars a yard. Within recent
years black Chantilly has been so sue
cessfully initiated by machinery that it
takes an expert to tell the difference
between the cushion made lace and
that which is the product of the loom.
Even the irregular mesh and slight ir-
Irregularities always found in handmade
lace are copied by machinery. The
expert in lace often told the difference
by touch, but the new machine-made
Chantilly is as soft and pleasant to the
the touch as that made by hand. When
machinery has reached such a point as
1t now has in the manufacture of Chan
lilly, all Scruples must be laid aside
and machinery must be acknowledged
as triumphant. Black Chantilly is a
thread lace. Black guipure is silk
lace, and is characterized by the free
use of purling effects in the strands
that hold the lace and parts of the pat
tern together, and take the place of the
fine mesh seen in other laces 1t is
worth about one-haH the price of Chan
lilly, because it is more easy to manu-
facture. Genuine black Spanish lace
is hardly feature of the market, it is
SO rarely imported. When it is found
on sale, it should be worth about the
same as black Chantilly.-Good House

The Problems of Life.

From the days of Homer, love and
hope, Joy and sorrow have inspired the
sweet singers of each successive gener-
alton of men, and they will continue to
be the main theme of the poets of the
future. AS for the outer world in which
we live, the more we learn Of 1t the
more marvellous does it appear, and the
more powerfully does it make it's mute
appeal to all that is highest and best
within us. And, after all, how little
have we yet learned! How small is the
sum of all our knowledge! 1t is still,
and ever must be, true that in the pres
ence of the infinite 1.-The greater our
circle of light the wider the circumfer-
ence of darkness that surrounds it.
When the man of letters complains that
we have dethroned the old gods, dis

has he never perceived how a true poet
can pierce, as our late laureate could,
through the mere superficial techni-
calities into the deeper meaning of
things, and can realize and express, in
language that appeals to the soul as
well as to the ear, the divine harmony
and progressive evolution which it is
the aim of science to reveal?-English

To Keep SILK.

Articles made of silk should not be
kept folded in white paper, as the
chloride of lime which is frequently
used in bleaching the paper will some
times destroy the color of the silk.
Blue, brown or glossy kind of vel
lowish paper is the best to select for
this purpose. A white satin dress or
cloak should always be wrapped up in
blue paper, with an outer covering of
brown paper sewn together at the
edges. It is never advisa BILE to keep
lengths of silk long before having them
made into dresses, etc, as the silk is
apt to cut and split at the folds, espe-
cially if it is thickened and stiffened
case with the inexpensive kinds.-St-
Louis Globe-Democrat
--On August "a, 1882, an act of the
British parliament was passed which
required uniformity in public worship

their families Soon afterwards they
were banished five miles distant from
every corporation in England. At the
Same time the Church at England was

ginia by vote of the assembly. Churches

An Adopted Mink.

On farm near Lewiston, Me-, is a
curious pet and q strange adoption.
One day one of the dogs around the
farm brought in baby mink, its eyes
hardly open; helpless creature, so
inoffensive that the dog would not
harmit. AZ that time the family cat
was nursing q litter of kittens, and the
little girl of the house put the mink in
with the kittens. The cat made a few
objections, but finally accepted the
addition to her family and cared for
the stranger. When the mink and kit
tens all had their eyes open, they
formed an exceedingly happy family.
The mink played as gleefully as the
rest, and the mother cat was just as
anxious for its safety as for any Of her

The oueen.. Lamprer Pic.

In accordance with an ancient GUS
tom, Queen Victoria has been pre-
scented with lamprey pie. 1t was an
elaborate affair, and was presented by
the mayor, Mr.. Matthews. He signi-
fed his intention of giving it, and the
queen, through the lord high steward
of Gloucester, intimated that she
would be happy to receive it. Conse-
quently the pie came, accompanied by
two silver skewers bearing the arms OF
the city and the name of the mayor.
Quite recently the Boston newspa
pers devoted space and elaborated illus
tration to wonderful flying machine
invented by Joseph S. Foster, of Salem.
1t was to solve the problem that has
racked the brains of inventors for
years 1t was taken out on a recent
Saturday for trial. when, much to Mr..
Fosters surprise, the continuance
would not fly. The problem of aerial
navigation is still unsolyed.
The issue before the American PEG.
pie is not the relative merits of mono
metalliSm and birnetallism, but the
fight is between those who advocate
the claims of the commodity" system
of finance and the advocates of the ''nu-
merary" monetary system Gold and
silver men are alike ''coIamodity''
money men, in that they maintain that
there must be a standard Of value, .
consisting of a certain set quantity of
some certain metal, or metals. The
s'numerary" theory maintains that the
exchange value of each unit of a volume
OF money, depends upon and is regulat-
ed by the number OF units in circu.
lation- The gold men unders tand this
and know it to be true, hence their
fight upon silver. If the silver men
gain their point, they will unite with
the gold men in fighting the issue OF
legal tender paper money.

SUMNER OUTING DRESSES.
Cool Costumes for Women Who Can

Cool Costumes for Women Who Can
Afford q Variety.
The experience of last summers great
heat has made something cooler than
wooden desirable for outing dresses
when the mercury is in the nineties,
and for this reason suits of linen duck,
pique and of gray linen are provided in
great numbers. When only one outing
dress can be bought, serge and hop
sacking is preferred, as they serve for
more various occasions; but for those
who can afford variety the cottons and
linens are commended as second dresses
for extremely warm weather The
duck suits come in white and tan color,
either quite plain or with small specl<s,
lines or bars of color. The prettiest
choice is the pure white linen duck in
basket-weaving, called sometimes linen
sacking, and sold in linen stores at
sixty cents a yard, its width being
nearly a yard. The suit consists of
three pieces, a blazer with faring
sewers, vest cut double breasted, and
a gored skirt. The front of the blazer
and the revers are doubled; otherwise
the suit is without lining. While the
white duck suits are most cool-looking,
those of ecru or tan-color are chosen by
women of fashion who wear very smart
gowns. Rivaling these suits are
others with an Elton jacket and shirt
waist Of linen lawn or China silk, either
white or of some very pale tint. The
skirt is in the popular shape cut off at
the knee and finished out with deep
.Aounce cut circular, or else gored to
prevent fullness at the top. Piques
come in new designs of dots, bars and
latticed lines, and are made up after
the fashions used for duck. White
REFERS to wear with various dresses are
made of duck and of pique, and have
very large pearl buttons in 'front.'

STEALING BONES AND RELICS.
Grave Robbers at Work at an Indian
BuryinE Ground In Connecticut.

Grave Robbers at Work at an Indian
BuryinS Ground In Connecticut.
The Pequot Indians in Connecticut,
last of that famous tribe of Indians, are
aroused over recent attempt on the
part of white men to rob their burying
ground of bones and relics. The In
dians discovered some men at work on
a grave in which, it is said, a descend
ant of Robina Cassinament was buried.
Several half-breeds at once gave chase
to the men, who fed. The burying
ground is near the middle of the Pequot
reservation, which is rough. heavy
wooded tract of land about one mile
wide by two long in the southwest cor
ncr of North Stonington, seven miles
north of Mystic Ridge. 1t is known as
an Indian town. The state long ago set
1t off to the exclusive use and practical
ownership of the descendants of the
Pequots, SO long as any remain. About
a dozen families OF mixed blood have
remained there during the last twenty
five years. The last pure-blood Pequot
to die was Amanda Nedson, about
three years ago. The Pequot descend
ants are for tho most part poor, but,
according to the Philadelphia Telo-
graph, they have the highest regard
for the burial place of their race and
for years have been tormented by relic
hunters. For some time there appears
to have been an unusual demand for
Pequot Indian relics. Many rich finds
have rewarded explorers In the In
dian cemeteries about here. In
southeastern Connecticut and south
western Rhode Island have been found
large quantities of Indian pipes, beads,
arrow heads, laces, drills, knives and
trinkets worn by the Indians. If any
one is found trespassing in the Pequot
cemetery it may be at the risk of his
life, for the Indians are said to be
very angry.

VICTORIA'S GROWN.
It Is Worth Million and 8 Half O
 nolIora

Dollars.
 The crown worn by Victoria weighs nearly two pounds, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch. It comprises more than 5000 precious stones set in various de- signs. The most prominent gem is the ruby given to Edward, the black prince, by Pedro, king of Castile. It is in the front of the crown, set in a Maltese cross composed of seventy-five large diamonds. The lower part of the crown band contains a row of 129 pearls, the upper part 112. Between them and in front is a large sapphire. Back of that again is a smaller sap phire surrounded by six others and eight emeralds. Between the two larger sapphires are designs contain ing 2S6 diamonds. Above the band are eight more sapphires surmounted by eight diamonds, and the same number of festoons contain 160 diamonds. Be sides the Maltese cross there are three others around the upper part of the crown containing 366 diamonds, and between the four are four ornaments, each with a ruby in the center and containing respectively S4, o6, S5 and ST diamonds. From the crosses rise four arches composed of oak leaves and acorns, the leaves containing FPS dia- monds. The th1rty-two acorns are each of a single pearl, and are set in cups made of ffty-four diamonds Above the arches stands the mound containing 55s diamonds, and above the mound is the cross, containing a very large sapphire, four very large and 10S smaller diamonds. All the stones are genuine, and not, as in some other European crowns, colored glass which has replaced the genuine stones The crown entire is valued at $1, ,50O, OOO

The Cause of Biliousness.

The cause of biliousness is a dilated stomach. Food decomposes in the stomach, and that gives rise to the con- dition known as biliousness. It is a state of poisoning in the stomach, pro- duced by the action of germs upon the food remaining there. When those germs grow up through the esophagus they produce the bad coating on the tongue. Biliousness always means bad diet. If man is bilious he ought to be ashamed of himself, for it means that he has abused his stomach. A dilated stomach is very common among chronic dyspeptics. It is stretching of the stomach in consequence of over loading it; it is sometimes due to a breaking down of the stomach.

HOW MICE MAKE WAR.
They Face Each Other, Standing on Their
 Hind Legs.


 Before we had much observed mice, the use of their long tails was ques- tion that had puzzled us. We do not know of what service they are to the females, but to the bucks they are, we see, of use in their combats, for, when they fight, they very often face one an- other standing on their hind legs, the tails then making, as with kangaroos, the third feature of tripod.
 Their appearance, when they thus stand facing one another with their heads thrown back and their paws in front of their faces, is, on account per haps of the resemblance it bears to the posture of prize-fghters, extremely comic, says writer in the Northwest. Small mice, also, when attacked by their bigger congeners, raise their
Arizona republican., 1893-12-03

paws before their faces, the attitude in that case strangely suggesting one of deprecation.
 What occurs when belligerent bucks actually engage only instantaneous photography could record, so rapid are their movements. Presumably, they try to bite, but must consider defense the better part of valor, for they never appear to get hurt much, and between the rounds will nibble away at the crust which brought them into the vicinage, only showing their excite ment by rattling their tails against the ground. Occasionally tail seized by the teeth leads to one mouse having to drag his enemy over the floor till the latter lets go.
