The manufacture of Russian lace, IN
which wotnen and girls are exclusively
engaged. occupies upward Of ten
thousand peasant households. The
work is done in the isbas or small log
cottages The appliances are very
simple. and girls begin to work lace at
the age of eight to ten years The
women not only make lace from differ
ent materials. such as linen and wooden
threads and cotton silk, but they also
make larger pieces, as shawls and
dresses. The necessary material is OBJ
tanned from the middle women. to
whom the finished lace is sold, and
who peddle it all over Russia. The
earnings of the Russian laeemakers
are insignificant Working eighteen
hours per day. a woman earns not
more than thirty-ive rubles, or abou.

M.rlEr AND THE HARvEsTERs.
Tho Artist Gould Swing a Scythe with
the Best Of Them.

The Artist Could Swing Scyths with
th0 Best Of Them.
Pierre Millet, younger brother Of
the painter of the "Angelus," describes
the artists life at Barbizon, in Century.
When it was harvest-time, he would
often lead the way to the places where
he hoped to see the harvesters at work.
When we were at little distance
from them. he would stop. "See," he
would say; ''aQ heirmovements count.
There is nothing done uselessly No
tice, too, how well the light strikes
them and abs0rbs all the little details,
tin there remain only the stronger ac-
cents of shade which define here and
there the luminous masses. The light
of the plain is entirely different from
that of the studio, where it enters only
by a window. 1t is something of which
q good many painters who never go
out of Paris have no idea"
It Sometimes happened that these
harvesters would notice that we were
observing them, and some of the band
would say to the others: ''See these
Parisians who are looking at us.
should like to see them do our work
1t is another thing to hold pencils, hey?"
Francois once said to them: ''Ah,
what you do is very difficult, us it
not?"
eff you wish to try it, you will find
out" replied one. Here, take my
scythe."
This did not disturb Francois. He
took the scythe and began to cut the
wheat with an ease and skill superior
to theirs. They did not watch him
long before they exclaimed: ''Ah,
monsieur, it is not the first time YOU
have done this work! You do it better
than we.''
Continuing our walk, we came upon
other objects of artistic interest.
These were people binding the wheat
into sheaves. and others loading the
carts. and transporting the sheaves to
the place where they were piling them
in huge stacks. Francois watched this
with great eagerness, saying to me:
'See the grand movements of the men
who lift the sheaves on their pitch
forks, to give them to those who are
on the stacks. 1t is astonishing, to-
ward the approach of night, how
grand everything on the plain appears,
especially when we see figures thrown
out against the sky. Then they look
like giants"
