An oval stone with a groove around
it's greatest circumference is secured to
a handle by means of a withe or
thong, and thus becomes an Indian war
club. 1t is a dangerous weapon in the
hands of strong man. Tomahawks
manufactured by white men have SUI
perseded the war club to a great ex-
tent, as it is claimed the rifle has re-
placed the bow and arrow. Recent to-
mahawks taken from the Indians bear
an English trade mark. They original
ly cost perhaps twenty-five cents. but
wree sold to the Indians for nothing
less than a horse apiece, and perhaps

GREAT LACE COLLECTIONS.
Mrs. John Jacob Astor and Mrs
A. T. Stewart Were Con-
nOiSSeurS.

Mrs. John Jacob Astor. second, now
deceased, and Mrs. A. T. Stewart were
considered the most thorough connois-
seurs of real laces in the United
States. Mrs. Stewart could tell it at
sight, without even touching it. She
had an immensely valuable collection,
which was given to her niece.
One of the Stewart lace treasures.
now in the niece's possession, is a lap
pet of fine Brussels point d. Angleterre
in Louis XIV style. The flowers and
leaves on it are worked IN all their
natural colors upon sort Oh quarter
foil diapered ground. 1t was made
with the intention of recalling the May
flower and perdrix ground or Sevres
and Dresden porcelains. 1t weighs
over eight pounds, and the only other
specimen Of the kind is on exhibition
at the Kensington Museum, London.
The latter piece is, however, not quite
so large or fine Mrs. Stewart was for
several years in negotiation for this
rare treasure. 1t was owned by an i'm
necunious count, who finally parted
with it for S1O,000,-a mere song com.
pared with it's present value.
another treasure of the Stewart coll
lection is an almost exact copy of
bedspread of Alecon point lace, with
pillow-shams made by special COM
mand of Napoleon l.. on the occasion
of his marriage with the Princess Marie
Louise. For this copy Mr.. Stewart paid
s45, 900. AS seen today it has the same
zephyr-like, fine hexagonal ground.
profusely studded with medallions and
lilies. Mrs. Stewards laces cost in all
about a quarter of a million dollars.
The curtains hung at the windows of
her big, gloomy mansion cost $500
apiece The collection has since doubled
it's value, the present owner possess
ing fully half million dollar fortune
in rare laces.

Queens Who Smoke.

Queen Marguerite, of Italy, is one
of the royal ladies who see no harm
in the use of tobacco. She occupies
herself much with literature and is
strongly addicted to the cigarette,
which she smokes in the privacy of her
room. Her flashing black eyes look
laughingly through odorous clouds OF
smoke, and she is wont to declare that
her cigarette is more essential to her
comfort than anything else in life.
Christiana, Queen Regent Of Spain, is
a great advocate of tobacco. She con-
sumes a large quantity of Egyptian
cigarettes, and his little Majesty, AL
phonso XIII, enjoys lighting them fol

Every large firm of contractors finds
it profitable to keep for many years the
time books containing the daily record
Of each workman employed. Such
books have again and again proved of
great value as evidence in court not

Cost Of Matchmaking

The art of making needles was kept
secret until about 1850, when it was
taught to the English by Christopher
Greening. Now English needles are
sold all over the world. At Redditch
alone 10000 people make more than
100, ,000, 900 a year.
