A Growing Industry.
pendent

The other day the Po,tollica author
tiles at Washington had their atten-
ton called to the circular sent through
the mails to students in schools AMI
colleges Offering to furnish them with
essays and speeches for so much per
hundred words.
Many heads of schools anil colleges
urged the department to rule these
circulars out of the mlils, but after
due consideration the authorities de-
cided that they could not exclude
them.
In one shape or another this busi-
ness has been going on for many
years. III Is dishonest for n pupil to
buy an essay or speech and palm ii
oil as his own, but there will always
be youngsters who will do it at any
risk. The temptation is hard to re-
sst in some cases. Take, for instance,
a bright boy who is gifted with mathe.
matical talent. His teachers take it
for granted that he eau write passably
well and they demand good compost
tions and speeches. But this is the
one ching in which the pupil is def
cient. He has head for figures, but
he has no command of language.
When such boy il pushed to the wall
he is tempted to borrow or buy the
productions OF others He does it to
maintain his standing at school. With
him it is n case of necessity.
There is one good thing about this
ready.made speech industry. 1t en-
ables some very clever men and wo-
men to earn many extra dollars which
they could not make i'll any other way.
1t helps one class though it may in.
jure another The ruling of the Post
Office Department is on the right line,
but the business is bad one and there
should be some way to put stop to
it. Atlanta Constitution.

ROYAL DAIRYMAiDs.

Probably the most charming dairy
in existence is that of the Princess Of
Wales, in which not only she, but her
various daughters, have learned to
make the most perfect butter. The
walls are covered with tiles presented
to the Prince of Wales, who placed
them there as n surprise to the royal
dairymaids. They were made in Bonn.
bay, and are of deep peacock blue,
the rose, shamrock and thistle being
intertwined, with the motto, "Ich
diem"
A white marble counter running
around the room holds silver pans of
milk from the Alderneys grazing with
out. Above, this, on broad bracket
shelves OF marble, is a collection, in
every available material, of sows, bull
locks, and calves; Italian and Parian
marble; alabaster, porcelain, terra
Gotta and silver-all gifts. A long
milk can, painted by the Princess
Louise to match the Indian tiling,
stands in one corner, and opposite is
the head Of the Princtss's pet Alder
ney, with a silver plate recording her
virtues. Here the Princess sometimes
churns in silver churn. and in the
next room the butter for the family is
made and sent up fresh every morning
when they are in London. The days
supply is made up into little pats and
scrolls all ready for the table, and the
Prince requires special order OF
pats. Not grain or salt is allowed in
them, and they are made the size of a
| half dollar and the thickness of three,
with either the crown, the coat-of.
arms or the three feathers stamped on
| each. New York Telegram.

FORTUNES IL LACEs.

Mrs. Robert Goelet has IA small cedar
chest completely filed with the very
finest and most expensive lace hanl-
kerchiefs, writes "A correspondent from
Newport, Il. l. They were all made
by the most fashionable French manu-.
facturers, and are Mys. Goelet's espe-
cial delight. Her husband disliked
her wearing laces of any kind made
by other concerns, and so an entire
lace outfit was bought through his
special order. Mr.. Goelet, according
to report. paid as high rs 5000 for one
handkerchief, and S2500 for lace
dress.
The Astor family have many treasures
in laces. Connoisseurs value them at
not less than $4,000. Mrs. William
Astor has lace dress recently made
",hich is valued at S2S, 900, besides m
endless amount of handkerchiefs, fans.
etc. Mrs. John Jacob Astcr (nee Miss
Willing) is the happy possessor OF sew
eral extravagaut gowns, her portion
being said to be worth over $50, 200.
The late Mrs. john Jacob Astor had
lie long lhN lOE cOllcClluS iuSos'
She left $50, 900 worth to the Metro
politan Museum OF Art. The founda-
tion of this collection was gathered in
France and Italy by Mrs, Astor her
self between the years 1916 and 1855.
1t was the especial fascination OF her
whole life to hunt here and there in
obscure stores and bric.a-brac shops
on the Continent for specimens of the
finest lace work ever known to have
been manufactured. She could never
resist buying when satisfied that II
was the real thing. Mrs. Astor's fichus
and lace handkerchiefs became famous.
She had wonderful dress of lace, for
which she paid $4,000. In this re-
spect, however, she has been outdone
by her daughter, whose new S2S, 00l
dress is generally considered the creme
de la creme about Newport.
A fashionable New York modiste,
here Tor the summer, remarked yes
terday that among the cottagers thi'
season $500 fichus, 5000 handkerchief
and $1,000 overdresses are mere baga
telles. 1t is said by the same authority
that New York has bought more lace

Opening Of the Last Week sf This Legis-
lativs Session.
HARRISBURG, June s.-Fhs close Of this
week will see the CLOSE Of the state legis-
lature. The Legislators have been work
ing day and night the past two weeks,
preparing for the final adjournment. In
the house nearly all the appropriation
bills have been passed. The house appro-
priation committee he's cleared Its ealen-
dar of house bills, and at its meeting to-
day the senate measures will be taken up
for final consideration. The Legislators
will get very little rest from now until
the close of the session. The calendars
are loaded with bills, many Of which can
never be reached. This is especially the
case with the house. The senate is up
with its work and has nothing to do but
consider measures messaged to 1t from
the lower branch Of tho legislature.
The Quay county bill will be called up
in the house tomorrow for final passage
Senator Quay is anxious that the bill shall
pass. and there seems to be no doubt but
that 1t will go through by comfortable
majority.
The general appropriation bill will be
passed finally this afternoon in the house
The bill has already gone through second
reading, and is now in the appropriations
committee to be perfected. There will be
fierce fight In the senate over the prop
ositton to reduce the school appropriation
81 600 900 for the next two years. 1t was
Intended to report the bill from the house
committee with an item giving the schools
Sll,o0o 600 but this plan has been aban.
doned. The program is to attempt to scale
down the appropriation in tho senate and
then send the bill to a conference com.
mlttee.
The Cochrane beer bill, taxing brewers
twentyfour cents barrel Of thirty.one
gallons for all malt liquors brewed In the
state, will come up in the senate this
week for fpal passage. There is much OBJ
lection to the measure in its present form,
and 1t will probably be amended SO as to
give the auditor general authority to ap-
point collectors to sell stamps to the brew
ers and enforce the law.
The religious garb bill will come up in
the house this afternoon for concurrence
In the senate amendment which places
the penalty for violation OF the proposed
act upon the school directors employing
teachers who wear any religious garb or
insignia In the school room, and not upon
the teachers themselves The friends of
the measure have no fault to find with the
change, and the bill will go through with
practically no opposition
