Punto in aria, writes Mrs. Conyers
Morrell in The Queen-that is, stitches
worked upon a single foundation
threads first mentioned IN Gioy-
ami Antonio Taglientl's "Opera
Nouva," published in Vienna in 1880,
but the first pattern books which
give examples of it are the works en-
titled "Lapompe" of 1857, and "La
Gloria ct Honori del Ponti Tagliati ct
Ponti in Acre" of the year 1853. It
was undoubtedly an evolution from
the earlier style of open work wrought
upon linen, from which portion of
the thread was cut and withdrawn.
and ut first was no doubt limited to
filling up the spaces left in tho linen.
1t IS easy to imagine how some
thoughtful and ingenious worker,
cramped by the rectangular threads,
sought for some method of giving
greater play to design, and evolved
the method whereby the beautiful
group Of laces known as Punto in Aria,
Punto ad Ayorio ivory point, Punto
del Mobile and Punto Tagliati Fog
liam1 were produced.
These laces are all worked upon the
same princlple-that is, the design is
traced upon piece Of paper lined with
linen or kid, light colored, and
thread is laid down around the out
lines and wherever required to empha.
size the pattern. The thread must be
guided by the left hand and fixed in a
position by minute stitches worked
across it, great care being taken not
to pierce the left-hand thread, as when
the work is completed these small
stitches are thus easily detached from
the foundation upon which it has been
worked. The thread outlines being
carefully completed, the next proceed
ing is to cover them with row of
fine button-hole stitches, and then to
fill in the several portions of the pat
tern either with several rows of but
ton.hole or any other suitable filling
stitches. Finally, the bars connecting
the solid portion of the laces are add
ed. These are formed of threads over
overcast with button-hole stitching,
and ornamented, as rule. with little
loops, or, as they are generally termed,
picots.

Has Slept in Paris Streets for Ten Year:


An interesting character was un-
earthcd by the Partisan police the
other day.
His name is Raphael Benoit, and he
enjoys al independent income of 5000
francs a year, but finds sleeping out in
the streets Of Paris the most agreeable
way Of living there.
He stated that he had not slept under
a roof for ten years and that he kept
his spare clothing in a handbag in a
cloak room at one of the railway sta
items. He spent the days either walk
ing about the city or reading at the
national library. while his evenings
were usually spent at the theatre. AS
for sleeping, he found bench in a
park or under bridge quite good
enough. The police did not know what
to make of him. and. as there was moth
ing against his character, he was re-
leased.

A pHOsPHOHESCENT TEA.

What may be called ''phosphor.
escent 5 o'clock tea" occurred lately in
a fashionable circle of Paris, but after
dusk, when the luminous effect could
, be we'll seen. No candles or lamps
were used, all the light looming from
the phosphorescent ceiling, carpets
and furniture, pictures, teacups and
flowers. The ladies also wore phos.
phorescent gowns, while their faces,
arms and shoulders cleaned with
phosphorescent cosmetics, such as the
luminous toilet powder or starch.

FASHION NOTES.

Tie gown that is made without a
suggestion Of bolero or Elton to it will
be in class entirely by itself.
Shaded tafetas will be greatly used
for the broad corselets that Paris says
will supersede the ribbon belts Of
summer.
Though crepon, as o fabric is no
longer in fashionable favor, yet indica-
lions of its crink]ed effect ore seen in
many of the new materials.
Smooth-faced cloths are conspicuous
among the autumn novelties, and
brown, green and navy blue seem to
be equally fashionable colors.
Though it is predicted that the
quiet colors will be the leaders,, the
plaids in the windows are sufficiently
gay to make one doubt tbs statement.
When an alpine Or English walking
hat is to be worn this year with q
tailor gown it will invariably have a
group of Spanish cock feathers at the
left side.
Canvas cloth is also regarded as an
easy foil novelty. It is closely woven,
and can stand much hard wear. The
clothes in the basket weave are equally
popular.
No panels have appeared as yet, but
some of the sash arrangements give q
panel effect, and the dressmakers hint
that there may be velvet panels on
winter gowns.
Gray will be much worn. It comes
in three shades-a dark-gray, called
platina, lighter shade. spoken Of as
nickel, and still fainter, more silvery
! color, known as silver.
THERE'S new tailor made girl. She
has lost much Of her severity of style
and has actually consented to give up
her linen collars and cuffs and he1
much beloved waistcoat.
Skirts are made SO long now that
they must be we'll held up, and the dust
ruffle adds much to the effectiveness
of street costume. When 1t is soiled
it may easily be exchanged for fresh
one.
All the best tailor.made gowns this
year have what is called the plain skirt.
It hangs straight and plain in front,
without cores, the fulluess all drawn
toward the back. Last seasons skirt,
even though tailor.made, had many a
ripple.
The Paris dressmaker always lines o
gown entirely with silk, unless she is
ordered to do otherwise, but several
of them admit that the best quality Of
cotton basque Innings not only wear
better, but really fits better than does
silk one.
The basque is another novel feature
of the new tailor.made gown. It fits
rather tightly over the hips, ripping
triAe at the back, or itopens directly
in the back, folding over in revcrs.
which are frequently fastened with
tiny buttons.
And there are plaids in plenty-the
dashlng Scotch plaids and plaids in
more subdued colors. A novelty plaid
is in deep-grayish-blue and white, with
narrow stripe, edged with boucles,
making the material plaid cheviot,
with boEcle stripe.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

A good cow is not always fat; she
converts her food into milk rather than
into flesh.
Dairy COWS are said by some to have
so worn out their teeth at ten years Of
age that they are improbable.
See that the cows have some sort of
shade in the pasture, or a chance to
come to the barn or shed, these hot
days.

PICKING DUCKS.

Duck feathers always bring a fair
price, especially white ones, and
should be saved when dressing tho
ducks, if they are sold dressed if not
sold dressed do not pick just before
selling. The amount received for tho
feathers ought to pay for the dressing.
The breeding ducks may be picked
several times year. usually four to
six. Do not pick until the feathers are
ripe" which can be told by pulling a
few from different parts of the bodies
of several birds. If they come out cas-
lily, without any bloody fluid in the
quill, they are all right and should be
'picked' or many will be lost. In
picking pull only a few feathers at a
time by taking between the thumb and
forelingcr and giving quick down
ward jerk. Do not pull the bunch Of
long, coarse feathers under each wing.
Before you begin picking, tie the
ducks feet together With a bit of list
Ing or other soft cloth, and if the duck
Is inclined to object to the picking by
thrusts with the bill, slip an old stock
ing or something of the sort over ita
head. Use no unnecessary harshnesa
with any of the birds and be especially
careful with laying ducks. Sitting
ducks and those that are soon to be set
should not be picked. In hot weather
much of the down may be taken from
the brakes. Do not take any in cold

THE RAINES LIQUOR LAW.
The COnstitutionallty of the Law Upheld A Decrease in the Number of Saloons
 Expected

NEW YORK, April 30.-The first stage of the Raines liquor law was reached today with the abolition of all excise boards as stipulated in the new law, and two months hence all memories of these boards will Lave vanished with the termination of all the excise licenses that have been granted under their supervision. From today on, if the constitution ality of the law isupheld, every place where liquor is sold and even the clubs and restaurants where the dis pensing of intoXicants is a matter of secondary or trivial importance, though at the same time necessary in order to retain their custom. will be required to pay the $500 liquor tax. It is expected that The enforce ment of the law will result in q pal pable shrinkage in the number of such places, as it is claimed many Of them would have absolutely no profit after paying the tax.

THREE STRONG N4TTONAL
 TYCKETS A CERTAINTY.

The very completeness and success of the party machine in New York, which avows itself satis- fled with Governor Morton and pre- tends to support him as a Presi- dential candidate, is what makes Governor Morton an impossibility. The willing and obedient servant of State of local machine has never yet been accepted by a National Republican Convention; and this year of all years is going to belong to public opinion rather than to political bosses. Party machinery is destined this year to be very seriously fractured, There will be at least three strong Presidential tick cts in the field If Mr Mckinley should be nominated at St Louis, there will certainly be split at Chicago. The result of that split will be an extreme gold party and an extreme silver party. The Republican phalanx, on the other hand, will
 not split in the center. It vii
 merely lose part of it's extreme right wing, aud q part of it's ex
 treme left wing. That is to say some Eastern business men Wht call themselves Republicans would rather support a candidate likt Carlisle on a gold platform thar support Mckinley on compromise plank. On the other hand many ol the far Western Republicans, under the lead of Senator Teller and his friends, would rather support 8 Democratic ticket headed by mar l like Governor Boies, of Iowa, on 2 free silver platform, than support 1 Mir. Mckinley or Mr. Allison, mol to mention Mr. Reed ,-on such E platform as the Republicans art likely to adopt at St. Louis. A for the Populist, they are going t wait and see what happens in tht Republican and Democratic conven
 tions, It has been for some timt very strongly hinted that the fre' siver forces of all parties may unite upon Senator Cameron, of Pennsyl vania, as their candidate, and per suade him to accept the nomination. It would seem easier, however, tt hold the Southern vote with { Western Democrat like Governor Boies as the pro-silver candidate
