OLD DRESSES AND BoNNETS.

IL 1916 Francis I. gave his queen the
equivalent of sixteen thousand dollars
in our money to buy her hat.
PHILIPPE lie BEL, of France, ordered
that no tradesmau's wife should wear
a gown made of stuff costing more
than twenty cents yard.
THE longest train on record was that
of Catherine de Medici on the occasion
of her marriage. 1t was forty-eight
yards and borne by ten pairs Of pages.
IL the sixteenth century no lady was
considered in full dress unless she had
a mirror at her breast. 1t was oval in
shape, about four by six inches in size.
In 1864 the pointed hoods worn by
the ladies often reached four feet
above the head, making the lady's
face appear about the center OF her

to the calm after storm. The arrival of

to the rash schemes and mad desires of

were discovered These cannon are OBJ

three inch wrought iron pipe, placed in
the butt end of n green oak tree, the whole
being firmly bound together with iron.

to be loaded with spikes and ready for

was talked OF. 1t is currently reported
that the company do not intend to keep
the foreigners. This report is considered
authentic, and is looked upon with favor
by many, but some of the English speak
ing men say that the foreigners have
stood by them in this strike, and if they
should be discarded and left out entirely
nothing but death will keep them from
wreaking direful vengeance upon both
the English and the company.
The miners held meeting in the after
hoon and unanimously resolved to stay
out and starve rather than to accept the
shirty-ilve cent rate and adopted another
resolution TO stand out for forty-iive cents,
being five cents more than they agreed to
on compromise. The miners generally
are very much incensed at the action of
Sheriff Gourley in having the troops
ordered out.
