Fashion Notes.

Renaissance lace of a fine quality is
often used to border dinner cloths of
fine, heavy, plain table linen. The
borders are of varying widths, from
six to twelve inches, and an insertion
of the same lace borders that part of
he Goth that rests on the table top.
Russian lace in edges and insertions
ie also used to enrich handsome dinner
cloths. 1t is somewhat expensive, but
launders beautifully, and as such
cloths are only for occasional use and
carefully looked afte-, it may be. said
to wear forever.
Lace jsbots will be a feature of dressy
autumn gowns, 60 if you are the happy
possessor of a length of point d'Alen-
con or Brussels lace, send it to the
cleaners and have it ready to utilize
on your smartest bodice.
Collets of black ostrich feathers, with
deep Stuart collar of tiny curled tips,
making very smart finish to dressy
toilette.
Black neck ruchiDgs are extremely
mOdish for autumn wear, giving just
the degree of warmth necessary.
Quite a new idea in dress trimming:
comes in ingenious designs which look
charming.

The Bicycle.

An English writer has been making
astonishing remarks about the wheel
"There are," he ssys, "ten million
bicycles in use in various parts of the
world" He then goes on to suppose
that on fine day half of these will be
in use and each rider vii! cover twenty
miles. He then calculates that the
total distance traversed by bicycles IN
one day will be 100, ,OOO, 900 miles, or
more than 1000 times round the
world. 5
L. is claimed by the English long
distance rider, J. w. Stokes, that dur
ing 1897 forty miles within the hour
will be ridden with the aid of wind
shields.
All the New England railroads have
agreed 10 abolish the release hereto
fore required from passengers shipping
bicycles as baggage under the reduced
schedule Of pr.css adopted October 10.

$750,OOU. Work on the completion of
No. 2 blast furnance, at Duquesne, will
be resumed. Additions to the Home
stead works will involve the expeudi-
ture of $500, 900. New open hearth

which will largely increase the output
of the mills.
In anticipation of a worlds maritime
strike next year huge combin alton
is b in perfected by the ship owners
of Fra nee, Germany, Holland, Bel
GUM and Norway to resist the demands
of their employees. A federation will

Health Hints.

That it is the height Of imprudence
to make a change in the undercloth-
ing with every change in the weather.
Tighten the outside garments if neces-
eary wher the weather is warm; but
don't take off the f1annels.
That change of air frequently affects
most astonishing cures, especially in
cases Of sgue, intermittent fevers and
low fevers of all kinds, where the pa
tents condition is such as to admit of
removal.
That thin vestment of chamois
leather is about the best substitute for
flannel if the latter cannot be endured
but flannel can be endured If one has
the patience and perseverance and good
common sense that leads to Its appre.
ciation.

Sheep are bringing very fair
prices in the United States at pres
emit, and the wool industry has re-
ceived substantial impetus since
the repeal of the Mckinley tariff.
The shepherds who do most of the
complaining about free wool are in
the wool commission business or
editing high tariff newspapers.
The Louisville Courier Journal is
cruel enough to recall to their
minds a little wool and tariff his
tory, as follows
AS to prices of wool it may be
noted that in January 1867, before
the passage of the high wool tariff.
fine wool was worth 6S cents in
New York. In October of the
same year, after the passage of the
high tariff, the same grade of wool
was down to AZ cents. We do not
say that the decline WAS due to the
tariff, but what would protection
lists have said if the tariff had been
reduced ? In 1865 fine wool sold
for $l.02 a pound under a much
lower tariff than that of 1867. 1t
is true that these prices were on an
inflated currency, but il we go back
to 1859 and 1860, when wool was
virtually free, it is sold for 60 cents
a pound in currency equal to gold.
Under the tariff of 1867 it went
down to "a cents in 1879, and
under the Mckinley bill to 20 cents
in 1894. Wool has declined far
less under the present tariff than
under former tariffs, and the recent
decline has occurred in period OF
business depression due to MIR.

When Senator Mills delivered his
great speech on Cuba in the Senate,
says special to the St. Louis Re-

the cruelty of the Spaniards and
their habitual murder ond violation
of women. Then he drew his con.
trast
"Mr. President, while thinking
of the slaughter of this girl, who
attempted to save her father, there
comes up in my mind the recollec-
tion of an incident that occurred in
Alabama during our civil war. a
colonel of an Ohio regiment was in
command of district in North
Alabama, within whose lines the
family of a Confederate officer
resided. Sometimes bold soldier
would slip through the lines, undis
covered and visit his family. On
one occasion he was discovers by
some one more devoted to the
Union than to his personal welfare.
Information was given to the colo.
mel commanding the district, who
took half dozen of his men, and
under cover Of night, went to the
house to capture his Confederate
foe-man. Arriving at the house
he rushed in the door pistol in
hand, and found the Confederate
soldier in the midst of his family,
his pistol and belt lying upon the
bureau withiR reach of his daughter,
a beautiful girl of eighteen summers.
In an instant she grasped her
fathers pistol to shoot in defense
OF her fathers person. The colo
mel sprang forward, seized the pis-
tol in her hand to disarm her.
/ Not being a Spaniard, it never
entered his mind to shoot her. Ia
the struggle her pistol fred and she
was shot through the hand, but her
father succeeded in making his
escape. The gallant officer return.
