very few stayed for any length Of time
in Paris, but that most Of them, after a
few weeks, went back to London. Since
the new hotels have been built in Lon
don of late years, Americans find
themselves very comfortable there, and
inasmuch as they can speak the language
1t is more agreeable for them than in
Paris. The Figaro speaks Of this with
tender melancholy, and says that

American tourist last year spent, on the
average 5000 francs, or $1,000. If 10000
OF them only spend $500, that would

A BETTER DAY.
By j. A. EDaRRToN.

Let others sing the wOrn-out thoughts OK old,
That Ger and DER for centuries have been told
And make trade 60 grind them out for gold
While meath the ban
OF gross injustice, tyranny and wrong,
The people, who have borne and suffered leng
Wait for some tongue to voice in burning song
The rights OF man,
Let others pule OF Art, and, on their knees
Before old forms and dust OF dead DEGREES,
Search round for trash to foist on times Ike
these;
When man has won
A height above those ages far and dim,
Where he can see DER the horizons rim
A golded light, proclaiming unto him
The coming sun.
But these are not my theme. There hangs for
me
A harp within the Future. Breezes free
Blow, and there comes wild, sweet melody
Adown the wind.
The promise OF that Future will sing,
That it from present want and suffering
May rise with balm and healing on its wing
For all mankind
see no good in singing what will not
Do good to men, Beauty and truth are brought
From the same source: The striving Of our
thought
To rise, not fall.
The souls OF men reach upward to the light,
After far voices calling through the night
Up to the Beautiful, the True, the Right,
The Good, the AL
sing the Coming Race, the Time To Be,
When earth is happy and when men are free,
When Liberty born of Fraternity
That later birth
OF ffreedom-among men its lot shall cssto
And shine above the wrecks that strew the past,
And Universal Brotherhood at last
Shall bless the earth.
Go forth, my Dream-not much you are, 'tis
true,
Bnt, then, twas good to dream Of you, for you
grew
Out of hope that you some good might do
To clear the way;
Born when dazzling beauty to me beamed
From a bright goal that through the Future
cleaned
Upon my soul until fondly dreamed
A Better Day.

Where Lace is Made.

All too quickly I arrived at Noting
ham, most interesting place, and full
OF ancient memories. It's historic rock
crowning castle carries you back to the
days Of the "gentle Mortimer" and re-
minds you how rash king here unfurled
the banners of divine right and suffered
somewhat In consequence through vari-
GUS collisions with Cromwell's Ironsides.
Nottingham is the center Of the English
lace trade, and the place where nearly
all the lace machinery of the world is
manufactured. There is genius in the
locality, both from the fabric and its in
strument. You will hear a tradition
that Nottingham machine, which is as
delicate and as intricate as a watch, can
only be set up by Nottingham man,
and that the hand of the weaver loses
much of its cunning when he goes to
any other place.
Be this as it may, there is no question
about the great Importance Of machinery
in the lace industry, and thereby hangs
highly significant little tale. OF course
every branch of the lace trade is largely
dependent upon fashion, and it 30 hap

"Levers" machines are most used, and
wonderful things they are. They turn
out limitations of the best Italian, French,
Belgian and Spanish real" laces, and in
those years of the boom they we're in
full demand. Manufacturers, as one OF
them told me, were "shoveling in
money" Good hands commanded high
pay, and thrifty man might have made
a competency. Just in the thick Of this
busy time, in 1882, there came round an
unassuming man with new embroidery
machine. It was really the revival, so
people say, of an invention brought ont

A Wonderful Light.

In the lamp house Of the government
lighthouse station at Tompkinsville,
Staten island, is housed the most wonder
ful light in the world. The light itself
stands Is feet high, the face Of it's bulls
eye is 9 feet across and it's lenses are as
much as 4 inches thick. It is capable Of
flashing ray of light equivalent to the
power Of 250,OO0,OOO candles, and the
distance from which it can be seen on
clear nights is practically limited only by
the curvature Of the earth. The fash
will have the intensity and binding glare
Of a stroke Of lightning.
That part Of the light which revolves
weighs fifteen tons and 90 exquisite is the
mechanism by which it is moved that the
pressure Of fingers will turn it. A child
could control the machinery, and the
motive power which propels it is a single
bit OF clockwork incased in O box feet
square.
The light consists Of two concaYe discs
about 81 feet in diameter. These discs
are placed back to back about a foot
apart and in position look like tremendous
double convex magnifying lenses, 30
large that they could not be cast in two
single pieces, and had TO be built up in
Segmsnts, and the whole strung together
on q great iron skeleton. And this, In
point Of fact, is precisely the case.
Back to back, the lenses inclose a
hollow interior, into which 10 thrust q

were full OF orders and could not attend

Plauen, in Saxony. The Germans were
good customers for English lace in those
days; but they had acquired liking also
for English machinery. So they treated
with this neglected Nottingham man
and set up his machine.
In the shops of London to-day you will
find any quantity Of Plauen trimmings
made with that machine; and all over
the world you will find the same thing.
