FOUND IN THE SHOPS.

New handkerchiefs are of chiffon,
and are embroidered in fine and deli
cate designs.
STAINED-GLAss screens mounted in
brass or wrought iron make the most
beautiful of fire screens, their rich col
ors being glowingly brought out by the
dancing flames.
A NEW imported linen is being shown
in the art shops which closely resem-
bles dimity, with the exception that the
cord is heavier. 1t is only sold in pieces
stamped for working.
SQUARES and circles of white silk
edged with frill of oriental lace make
pretty mats for small polished tables.
The silk centers should be lined, and an
interlining of white crinoline gives a
desirable stiffening.
UMBRELLAS and parasols are now
fitted with clasps TO hold the ribs close,
instead of the silk or elastic bands for
merly used. On handsome ones the
clasps are of silver or gold and add q
distinctive touch of elegance.

A HISTORY LESSON.

THE first cast iron plow was made in
1897.
The circular saw was invented by
Bentham, an Englishman, in the year
1890.
THE game OF backgammon was in
vented by Palamedes, Greek, about
1924.
THE alphabet was brought into
Greece from Phenicia l,493 years be-
fore Christ.
MUFFs were first used by doctors to
keep their fingers soft and were
adopted by ladies about 1850.
THE pope in 1856 prohibited the cross
bow as barbarous, and threatened cross
bowmen with communication.
The peach is Of Persian origin and
the apricot is Syrian. The former
fruit is mentioned by classical writers
as early as 200 b. c., but the latter not
until 80 A. ID.
In Spain, about 1880, the hoopskirts
became so monstrous that an edict was
issued commanding their reduction
and ordering the confscation of hoop
skirts above the regulation size. The
attempts to carry out the edict caused
innumerable riots and were finally
abandoned.

PICKED FROM THE VINES.

THE area planted to vines in Switzer-
land has decreased by $4,000 acres with
in FIVE years, now covering 52s,OOO acres
occupied by 81, 900 owners.
THE area of vineyards in Tunis was
only 1900 acres four years ago. 1t is
now nearly double, while the quantity
of wine made has increased during the
same period from 337, 800 gallons to D.
1862, 800 gallons.
THE vintage of Zante, in 1891, was
abundant. Most of the wine is sold on
the island at from three to ten cents
per pint. The olive oil crop was an
average one, 10000 barrels or $500 tons,
selling at about $3.50 per ton.
A MEETING of viticulturists has been
held at Valparaiso, to urge the govern
ment to conclude reciprocity treaties
with all South American republics, SC
as TO bring Gillian wines in compete
ton with the cheap wines of Europe.

Fear Before the Fight.

Testimony differs as to the feeling of
the soldier on going into fight, and the
many experiences related by Grand
Army men to their always willing lis
teners show that in their war histories
there was no uniformity of either fear
or daring. The major of New Hamp-
shire regiment said: Il always felt
timid when the shot began to reach us,
but as soon as we got into action | was
carried away by excitement. | am not
usually a profane man, and | have no
recollection of talking roughly to my
troops, yet good many Of them have
assured ms that all through fight
would swear like-well, like a trooper"
Another man, colonel, said: "it's
all nonsense 20 say that man doesn't feel
afraid in the beginning of fight and all
through it. OF course he does. He has
reason. Sherman said of General Sun
ner that he was the only man who grew
holder az he grew older, but the only
man ever saw who really seemed TO
want to fight, and to enjoy it after he
was in it, WAS Custer. New York Sun.

THE FREE speech and free press for
which John Milton pleaded seem to
have decidedly hard shedding in London
even in 80 modern and enlightened a
period as January, 1898. A London
newspaper made an unfavorable criti-
cism OF play which made the audience
boot and groan, and brought from an
American critic the statement that the
play was sire, murder, arson, sudden
death, plague, pestilence that walketh
by MONDAY. the cholera bacillus, all
rolled into one. 1t was worth going
going miles to see as q mere matter of
badness" But for remarking that the
play was hooted off the stage, the
English newspaper was sued for libel
and fined $3.50 and costs. Another
newspaper was prosecuted for an I'M
favorable book review, and still an
other for adding three exclamation
points to a contribution. Inasmuch as
an appeal OF the cases to the higher
court would consume a fortune and q
lifetime of delay, the verdicts of the
lower court are practically final, and
free speech is silenced.

Tetherball is new game of Eng
fish origin which possesses the pro-
nounced advantage of being played in
a few feet Of lawn or courtyard. A
post eight fact high is set up, and to
this is attached cord having at its end
a ball. The space Of the grounds may
influence somewhat the length of the

less than eight nor more than ten feet
long. The btll is set in rotary motion.

STATEHOOD FOR ARIZONA.
THE HAWAIIAN SITUATION.


Despite the reported statements OF
Senators Sherman and Morgan and
Judge shipman, favorable to the an
nexation OF the rebellious Pacific isle,
it is not probable that Hawaii will be
one Of the American states right away.
We are now up to our ears in solving
the immigration problem. When we
apparently have so mach trouble in as
Stimulating into our political existence
the civilized peoples OF Europe, there
seems to be no urgent call for bolting
at one gulp the entire Hawaiian ma
ton. The Sandwich Islands are all
right as a sugar supply and coaling sta
ton in fact, very much better as such
than as a sister state OF the Union. A
people that will rebel against the fair
queen of the Sandwich Islands might
refuse to worship even at the shrine OF
the fair and graceful Grover Cleveland.
We cannot ioretell. Hawaii is all right
as dearly beloved cousin-a few thou
sand miles away-who needs our
guardian protecting arm and is willing
to give us monopoly in the matter Of
shipping accommodations. The thought
OF closer relationship associates itself
with that other thought, that distance
sometimes lends enchantment.

And her graceful finger tips,
But haw or berry,
Glimmers of her there and here,
Just, forsooth, enough to cheer
And to make me merry.
Often on the ferry rocks
Dazzling dinples Of loose locks
At me she hath shaken.
And I've followed-all in vainl
They had trickled into rain.
Sunlit, on the brGken.
Once her full limbs flashed on me,
Naked, where some royal tree
Powdered all the spaces
With wan sunlight and quaint shade
Such haunt romance hath made
For Launched satyr races.
There, know, hid amorous Pan;
For a sudden pleading ran
Through the maze Of myrtle,
And rapid violence tossed
All its beverage twas the lost
Cooings Of n turtle.
