"A novelty at the recent marriage
of Miss Nellie Bass, the daughter OF
Lord Burton, the brewer, was the abb
sence of gloves from the fair hands OF
the bride. She has very pretty hands,
plumb and white, and their beauty
was accented by a number of beauti-
full and valuable rings. Otherwise.
this greatest of English heiresses was
very simply dressed in plain white
satin gown, with a little embroidered
border of pearl wheat-ears round the
hem. Her veil was of the plain, be-
coming tulle, not of the extensive or
unbecoming point lace.

Miss Adele Grant, now the earl of
Essex's bride, introduced several novel
ties at her wedding. The brocaded
and embl oidered train of her wedding
gown all fell from silver embroid-
cred dove that stretched it's shining
wings across her shoulders. The veil
of beautiful figured lace fell down to
her feet in front as well as at the back.
All her bridesmaids wore cavaliers
capes swinging from the shoulder, and
the five little-girl bridesmaids were in
Charles H. dresses, with a smaller edi-
ton of the same cape.

The Production of Artificial Silk.

The PRODUCTION or ArClncl0I SILK.
Experiments with vegetable-pulp
have demonstrated the feasibility of
silk-making by machinery. At no dis
tant day the silkworm will find her &C.
cupation gone, and in place of the CO.
coon we will have enormous spools of
silk drawn directly from pulp. Vege-
table fiber is made into collodion. and
is then forced through finely perforated
metal plates. The slender threads that
issue are at once submerged in water
This takes up the volatile elements of
the collodion and hardens the threads
which become elastic and solid. The
flaments are SO fine that it requires
nearly a dozen to make a thread that
can be handled with safety. Extreme
fineness is necessary in order to give
the required softness and flexibility.
With this comes a degree of brittleness
that makes the product frail almost
past handling. When machinery of
sufficient delicacy can be invented to
carry and manage these tiny lines
without breaking them, we may be
able to engage in silk-lnaking as readi-
ly as in paper making. and with quite
as satisfactory results. Experiments
have thus far been made with perfect
ly successful results in all particulars
save the one noted.-N. Y. Ledger.

OUR STATE RESOURCES.

Correspondent Forbes of the Bos-
ton Journal has been figuring a little
on Vermont's resources. The show
ing is by no means a gloomy one:
The wealth produced by the min
eral industries of the state appre-
ciably increases from year to year.
There is a vast amount Of un-
developed wealth amoug the Green
Mountains.
The state offers a safe and profta-
BILE field for the investment of capital
in quarries and mines.
Unsurpa passed water power priv
ileges can be obtained in numerous
localities on reasonable terms.
The mineral productions include
marble, granite, slate, soapstone,
treestone, limestone, tale, paint,
asbestos, and iron, manganese, cop
per, gold and other ores.
Almost every variety of marble,
the United States, or in Europe, is
quarried in Vermont.
The amount and value of the
marble output are greater than that
of all the other states together.
Nearly one-tifth of all the slate pro-
duced in the United States comes
from Vermont, no state except
Pennsylvania producing as much.
The state ranks eleventh in the list
of granite-producing states, and is
fast getting in the lead.
The copper deposits in Orange
county are extensive, and the ore is
of fine quality.
Rich specimens of gold have been
found in Windsor county.
The Champlain Valley limestone
yields the purest lime made in the
United States.

CALLED A PA STOR.

A special meeting of the North
church was held last Monday even
ing to see if the church would extend
call to DIR. Albert H. Heath of St.
Paul, who preached so acceptably at
that church last Sunday. Letters
were read from pastors and lay
men in different parts of the country
cordially endorsing DR.. Heath and
praising him in the highest terms.
Many OF those present at the meet
ing added their testimony and all
spoke enthusiastically of the pros
pect of securing him. 1t was voted
unanimously to extend him a call
and after the announcement of the
vote the doxology was sung.
On the following day a committee
of five were chosen, consisting of
Franklin Fairbanks, L. D. Hazen,
! Frank H. Brooks, P. F. Hazen and
Mrs. Walter P. Smith, to extend the
call of the church to DIR. Heath and,
if he accepts, to make all necessary
arrangements for his settlement.
DR.. Heath was graduated 1t Bates
College and the Lewiston Theologi-
cal Seminary. His first pastorate
was at Providence, r. l., and then
he was located 13 years at New Bed
ford, Mass. From there he was
called to the Plymouth Congrega-
tional church of St. Paul, where he
has been six years and one half. He
was highly recommended by others,
and in his brief visit to St. Johns
bury he made a most favorable inn
preston. The church are united in
their desire to secure DR.. Heath and
it is earnestly hoped that he will ac-
cept the call.
