A Legend AbOut Lacemaking.

Lacemaking is by no means so old an
industry as most persons suppose. There
is no proof that it existed previously to
the fifteenth century, and the Oldest
known painting in which it appears is a
portrait of lady in the academy at
Venice, painted by Caspaccio, who died
about 1923. The legend concerning the
origin of the art is as follows: A young
fisherman of the Adriatic was betrothed
to young and beautiful girl of one Of
the isles of the lagoon. Industrious as
she was beautiful, the girl made a new
net for her lover, who took it with him
on board his boat. The first time he cast
it into the sea he dragged therefrom an
exquisite petrified wrack grass which he
FASTENED to present to his iancee. But
war breaking out the fisherman was
pressed into the service Of the Venetian
navy. The poor girl wept at the depar-
ture of her lover and contemplated his
last gift to her. But while absorbed in
following the intricate tracery of the
wrack grass she began to twist and plat
the threads weighted with small beads
which hung around her net. Little by
little she wrought an imitation of the
petrifcation, and thus was created the
bobbin lace.-Washington Star.

We Owe the Hat to Asia.

We owe the hat to Asia, for it was in
that country that the art Of telling wool
was first known, and from the most re-
mote periods the art was carried on by
the orientals. In India, China, Burmah
and Siam hats are made of straw, of rat
tan, Of bamboo, of pith, of the leaf of
the Tallport palm and of large variety
of grasses. The Japanese made their
hats of paper The modern hat can be
traced back to the petasurs worn by the
ancient Eomans when on journey, and
hats with brims were also used by the
earlier Greeks.
It was not until after the Roman con-
quest that the use of hats began in Eng
land. A ''hatte Of biever," about the
middle of the twelfth century, was worn
by one of the mobiles of the land. Frais-
sort describes hats and plumes which
were worn at Edwards court in 134O
when the Garter order was instituted.
The merchant in Chaucer's Canterbury
Tales" had ION his head a Flaunderish
beaver hat" and from that period on
ward there is frequent mention of ''felt
hates. Washington Star

The Pumps of the Egyptian.

A representative piece of mechanism
occurs frequently on the sculptures Of
early Egypt. 1t has the appearance Of
and is generally believed to be that of a
portable pump. The hydraulic screw is
also attributed to this people, but their
main reliance seems always to have been
the ShadOOf, seen everywhere along the
banks of the Nile, an invention so SIM
pie and SO well adapted to their needs
that it remains today substantially the
same as it has through all the centu les
since history began.
The same may be said regarding the
chain pump in China, an invention the
origin of which antedates the Christian
era. This simple machine, which seems
never to have been improved upon, is in
such common use that every agricultural
laborer is in possession of one. Where
irrigation is conducted on larger scale
the chain pump is made proportionately
larger and moved by very simple tread
wheel, and still larger ones are operated
by yoking buffalo or other animal to
suitable driving machine.
The application of steam to raising
water is of uncertain origin. Long be-
fore the Christian era certain applica-
tons of fire to vessels containing water.

lated to astonish ignorant worshipers.
were practiced by the priests of Egypt.
Greece and Rome, but their knowledge
seems never to have been turned into
any channel of secular usefulness.-En-

The G. A. z. Reunion at Indianapolis.

Inc u. "A. l.. Reunion at Indianapolis.
In providing for the entertainment of the
Grand Army in September the executive
committee has kept in view the fact that
Indianapolis needs to spread herself in order
to Guido other cities, in certain lines at
least. The Indiana parade and reunion
will be a spectacle for all old soldiers to 20
wild over. Filled with the enthusiasm of
old times, they can 60 from the bivouacs of
the Hoosier boys to those of the corps in
which they themselves served. Indiana
veterans will of course hold brigade and
regimental reunions. Ohio and other near
by states will do the same. Soldiers from
any state who served in regiments brigaded
with Indianians will drop in around the
campfire to shake the fraternal hand. Aside
from those chances to meet old friends
there will be the reunions of various armies
and special veteran societies. The armies
of the Cumberland, the Tennessee, the Po-
tomac, the James, the frontier, the Missis-
sippi ram fleet. the United States sharp
shooters, the ex-prisoners of war, the
Manned Soldiers league and the Marine
legion have places and days appointed to
meet and sound the rallying cheers so ia
miliar when the gray bearded men of today
were beardless boys.

live not very far from an imposing brown
| structure set somewhat back from the
street and overlooking by story or two on
its side it's more worldly neighbors whose
| front doors open on an avenue. In touch,
! then, with prosperity this building stands,
but so silent and inscrutable is it that but
for some unobtrusive lettering over the en-
trance, announcing it to the seeker as a
place of refuge, no passer by could pierce
it's mystery. How the outcast or sufferer
finds the way within is one of it's secrets,
unless one is right in supposing that be-
hind portal sits some parsonage, with
book of entry, who, after credentials and
all the rest are offered, will allow way
farer in.
But who these wayfarers are could not
for some time discover. grew to believe
they were those who from heart break and
sorrow had vowed themselves to eternal
speechlessness. For even with it's windows
wide open in the summer, nothing could

up to me out of the streat. | hear then the
creak of little hoots, the tramp of many
tiny feet, rs a silent throng goes by. Never
voice, nor a cry of delight, nor half re-
pressed laugh, nothing but the uneven, fall
tering tramp of little feet. Clean starched
are they. these children, and presided over
by man of gentle mien, who leads them
into that grim old building beyond. They
are neither deaf nor dumb. Nor are they
MANNED. Yet one never looks at them
without Tightening at the heart.
1t is their silence indoors and out of doors
that hurts one. No boisterous cry could
pierce the ear with greater sharpness. Why
should those who shield repress them so?
For the voices of children no man can live
willingly without hearing, for they are
part of the worlds best music, and travel

The Hired Girl Famine.

The one want which civilization is I'M
able to supply to order is the hired girl.
Minneapolis has almost inexhaustible re-
sources in all the necessities, comforts
and luxuries for which man and woman
yearn, except in that dire necessity, that
exceeding comfort and rare luxury-the
efficient, nea,. faithful and responsible
hired girl With an output of clerks
and typewriters equal only to that of
flour and lumber, a profusion of pretty
girls as remarkable as our possession of
lakes and parks, and an overflow of
brainy and useful femininity like unto
that of our proverbial enterprise and
water power, Minneapolis must yet con-
fess that in the line of first class article
of hired girl we have scarcity approach
ing famine.
But the scarcity does not seem to be
confined to this city. Even in the fertile
country districts of the state, where SEN
sible and industrious girls are supposed
to grow up in prolific plenty, there is
the same sharp demand and pitiable
paucity.
Our country readers even advertise in
the want columns in the faint hope that
housekeeper may be bribed from her
city position to accept a station as queen
of rural kitchen. In short, the hired
girl famine is general. It is getting to
be the principal occupation Of the mis-
tress of house nowadays to hunt hired
girls, and a necessary qualification of a
wife that she be able to successfully
steal, bride or persuade away her neigh
bors' girls.
Doubtless a prominent cause of the
hired girl famine is the fact that the girl
who successfully masters the sciences
and arts of cookery and housekeeping is
Immediately besieged with matrimonial
offers. Girls of such accomplishments
are never in danger Of becoming old
maids. Women of blood and Drawn
health and domestic capacity, will be in
demand as long as the home is the cradle
of civilization. -Minneapolis Tribune

No Law Against Removing a Dead Body.

NO Law Against Removing Dead BOdy.V
Where in the world" asked the law

have seen a body lie in everybody's
way because the people thereabout
thought that it was unlawful to touch it.
This foolish tradition amounts almost
to superstition, and you may be sure
no coroner takes the trouble to enlighten
stupid ignorance upon the subject. The
coroner is only too willing to aggrandize
his influence and power, and therefore
rather encourages than discourages this
silly superstition. New York Tribune.

THREE ON A BENCH.

THREE ON A BENCH.
The Boy Had Future. the Crook Past;
the Vagrant Had Nothing.
1t was 3 o'clock in the morning. The
electric lights were still blazing in the
silence of Madison square. A number
of shabby figures slumbered or moved
about on the seats beneath the trees of
the park. On bench beside the little
fountain sat group that arrested my
attention. Three figures were reclining
here with their heads and shoulders al
most touching one another One was
but little more than boy. A bundle
done up in calico handkerchief was in
his hand. His sunburned face and his
sturdy shoulders gave evidence that he
was from the country probably farm
hand who had trudged in to try his luck
in the city. His boots were covered with
red clay. He was leaning against thin
figure clad in somewhat shabby gar
ments.
This man possessed dark and sinister
countenance. He was restless, and his
hands. which were thin and white,
twitched nervously in his sleep.
His lips moved spasmodically. His
was an evil conscience. There was
plainly a shady side to his past life.
Here were deceit and honesty side by
side. Next to the dark man slumbered
very old and decrepit one. He was
clad in linen buster. A battered gray
hat sat on his head, and his toes were
peeping out from the tips of his worn
shoes. The face of this old fellow was
scanned with deep and careworn wrin-
kles. His hair and beard were snowy
white. He was possessed of a palsy
that made him tremble constantly as he
lay doing. It was youth. manhood and
old age-typical of life.
These three reclined here in stolen
sleep. A park policeman came gliding
along from the distance through the twi-
light of the trees. He crept along like a
gray ghost on the lookout for those
weary souls who were transgressing the
law by surreptitious slumber. His eye
lighted with satisfaction as he beheld
the three figures on the bench. You see
that seedy fellow in the middle!'' he
whispered. That's Tony McElroy, who
cracked three safes over in Jersey City
last summer. spotted him at once by
his mug. He just come out of the pen
last Tuesday"
The officer seized the crook by the COL
lar and shook him till his teeth ratified.
The noise awakened the boy, who grasped
the situation at once. Selling his bun
die he skurried like a rabbit across the
grass toward Twenty-third street. Once
feeling himself safe he stretched his
limbs and began to whistle cheerfully.
The crook arose and stood in sullen
silence few moments until the police
man pushed him on. He thrust his hands
into his pockets, bumped up his shout
ders and shambled up the avenue. The
old vagrant tottered to his feet. He was
dazed, and it took him quite awhile to
collect his senses. He shuf1ed across
the square with bowed head. He scanned
the buildings and the streets about him
with a hopeless, helpless glance that was
pathetic to see. Then he, too. vanished
in the gray of breaking dawn.
The boy had life of hope before him,
the crook had past behind him, but the
old vagrant had neither past nor future

Exterminatine the Food Fish.

The cupldity of the fisherman on the
Atlantic coast Is rapidly destroying near
ly every kind Of sea food upon which the
people have been accustomed to rely.
The complaints Of the men who control
the fish markets are long and loud that
the supply Of fish is much less for this
season than it was the last. The lobster
factories on the Maine coast are all
closed. and one has to 20 down as far
east as Prince Edward island to find a
lobster with shell on his back at fair
price, The herring factories have be-
gun to exhaust the immense schools of
herring that gather around Grand Ma
nan and work their way into the Bay of
Fundy
The mackerel have been so scarce dur
ing the season, from the wholesale de-
struction of schools, that single mack
erel is today more expensive than a
pound of beef The bluefish are still
plenty. but there are signs that even this
species OF fish Is beginning to be preyed
upon by the methods employed by the
fishermen in catching them. The fisher
men say that they are obliged to use
these destructive methods in order to
protect themselves from the encroach-
ments of those who refuse to keep to the
old methods. and so the wholesale de-
struction goes on without restraint.
The time has come when if the sea is
to yield to us much longer the delicious
food which makes life on the Atlantic
coast delight to the people of the west.
as we'll as to the natives different
methods of catching the fish, and pro-
lection for them in the close season,
must be established by law. for which
the proper enforcement must be ar
ranged The necessity is urgent. There
is not sll,sle species of fish used for the
table wh,rA Is not now in great danger
Of extinction. The salmon and the shad
have been protected. but protection is
equally demanded for the cod. the her
ring, the lobster and the mackerel.-

princelets, male and female, were but
everyday folk in her eyes, quite without

fused to make obeisance. The lady's
distinction is self respecting and truly
American, and as rule of conduct it
is commended as an antidote for the in
discriminate courtesy craze.-Vogue.
