BULLION EMBROIDERY.
Little Shops Where Uniforms Are Made
Gorgeous With Gold.

One sees from the sidewalk of a quiet
street east of Third avenue big basement
shop where two or three girls are bending
over well worn embroidery frames. The
samples of their work displayed in the win
dow show that they are making bullion
embroidery to decorate the coats or caps of
military officers, policemen and others
whose trades or professions require uni
forms. There is less to be done in the bull
lion embroidery trade in this city than in
most old world cities, but there is a con-
slant and growing demand for the handi-
work of the bullion embroiderers and the
trade is one that keeps it's own in spite of
labor saving devices.
Bullion embroidery worked directly upon
the stuff of the cap or coat is still the prop
er thing for the uniformed man who would
have all his accoutrements right The en-
broidery shops are usually little places,
and the proprietor is sometimes woman
The frame is simple device of hard wood,
enlarged or reduced in accordance with the
needs of the particular piece of work in
hand. The embroiderers are usually girls,
often very young, though the design ers are
sometimes men. Embroidery designing Is
not very difficult business, because little
originality is demanded since the trade
has well established traditions and there
are plenty of books to guide the designer.
There are no new designs to be made in
Masonic, military or naval emblems, and
even the myriad shooting clubs of the Ger
man quarter are not likely to require any
thing that will demand great ingenuity of
the embroidery designer.
The girls that do the actual work of
bullion embroidery are often native Amer
leans, though the trade is mainly con-
trolled by foreigners, French and German
for the most part. The particular shop
here indicated is managed by a Hebrew,
and the pretty girls visible from the street
as they lean over their work seem to have

A Story About Dumas.

The late Alexandra Dumas was one of
the most generous of men. There is a
pretty story told concerning a voluminous
MS. which his publisher received from
him one day. On it he had written, "You
must publish this novel, for which you
must give 1900 francs" 1t was trans
lation from the English, and the publ sher
objected, explaining that a translation
wasn't worth that sum, and that more
over, he was busy with number of orig
inal works. He wouldn't give more than
300 francs. Every we'll, replied Dumas,
"put down 1900 francs to my account
Take your 300 francs and give the remain
ing 1900 to the translator" The pub
Usher soon discovered that this was a
piece of noble helpfulness on the part of
Dumas. The translator was the widow of
a friend, a once we'll known politician,
who had died shortly before, leaving the
poor woman with large family to sup

One of Princess kittens, the White
Squall, so named from his practice Of
standing on the stairs and bowling when
left alone, was so dependent on other:

His mother did not care for him par.

fancy to him. He then fell back upon
human beings and made my life bur-
den by yelling on the stairs when he
could not find me and tormenting me to
play with him when he did. No ball,
bell or string and spool was of the least
value to him unless somebody played
with it for him.

The BOND-AIDED ROAD.

The Presidentin his message urges
the Importance OF a settlement of the
obligations of the bond-aided rail-
roads. He specifically direc:s at
tention to the case of the Union
Pacific and points out that proceed
ings had been commenced to fore
close first mortgage upon the main
line: AS the government lien Is
subordinate to the first mortgage. it
would he obliged to redeem that
mortgage Or lose all that it has paid
out for the company. AS the road
will be in default to the Government
on January i, 1897. the IN ,ssage in
dicates that unless Congress shall
otherwise direct, or shall have pre-
viously determined upon different
solution of the problem, the Executive
will talks such action as will promise
to subserve the public interests and
save the Government from loss
threatened by further inactioD.
That is strong incentive to the
subsidized roads to get the Funding
bill through Congress before the
holidays. Failing to do 80 or to pass
an act extending the time Of payment,
the resident will take hand in the
matter and doubtless the Attorney
General Of the United States will
commence foreclosure proceedings
Immediately after the holidays "''.

Mr. Reeds end of Congress The
Funding bill has been before the
House since early in the last session.
For political reasons it was not
deemed advisable to act upon it be.
fore the Presidential election, as
Speaker Reed thought up to about
the time the Republican. National
Convention. met that be was a CAM i
didate for President. Now his mind
is wholly disabused, of that idea aud
it remains to be seer. what effect 1T
will have upon the Funding bill: It
is hardly possible that SO impor tant
a measure will be, put through the
House under the gag rules in few
days and il it should be it could not
get throguh the Senate before the
holidays, and besides there is not a
Republican majority in that body as
there is in the House. 1t is not un-
reasonable to assume that no member
from the Pacific Coast will vote for
the bill if he has future political as
pirations, except it be. Represe ntative
Grove johnson Of California and his
connection with the measure at the
last session of Congress defeated him
for recollection by over five times the
majority the average Mckinley cleo
tor received in California. The man
who votes for the Funding bill; unless
he is entrenched BEND an overwheRn-
ing Republican majority, cannot be
expected to be reelected to Congress.
Grove Johnson's fate awaits the ad-
vocates Of the bill unless the railroad
cempanys make concessions to the
people.-Journal.

 MT. John T. sherman, supreme assist ant dictator, of Elberton, Ga., followed with a seasonable and interesting ad- dress on the insurance feature of the order. It was matter of material in terest to himself and his audience. He gave a brief history of insurance, old line, mutual and assessment. The latter stood highest in point of recommenda- ton, since there were ne high salaried officers to be paid, no insurance surplus fund to be wrecked, stolen or divided among the wealthier classes, whose pol icies are little likely to lapse, and the as surance also that the policy holder in the Knights of Honor has that his widow will receive his insurance as soon as death is proven, without expensive suits in court. Insurance of some kind Is no longer to be neglected, and the prudent business man reckons it in his expendi- lures as he does rent, salaries and other necessary expenses of every character Therefore the bread winner should make provision against the end when his pro- tecting labor is taken from the house. hold Confiding ones who relied solely on providence to protect their families after death had abandoned the idea as an im- position on providence, since providence helps only those who have a willingness to help themselves. When the assess ment is called for from the members they knew that the assessment went to needy widows and orphans. It is distress call All who heard the address were considerably enlightened and impressed with the advantages of the Knights or Honor and it's insurance features
