MISS WATTS OF NEW YORK.
From Her Descended "a Marquis and Earl
OF Great Britain.

People tnlk OF international marriages
as il they were an invention OF recent years
and are oblivious of the fact that British
neers have shown their good sense by mar
rying American girls for over n couple OF
centuries. and there is a large amount of
American blood i'm the British house of
lords
Every one going up and down lower
Broadway notices the statue of John Watts
I'm Trinity ohurchyard 1t WIS erected by
his descendant, General De Poyster. who
has prediction for that sort of thing.
Now old John Watts, besides being the
progenitor of General De Peyster was tho
progenitor of the present marquis of Ailsa
and earl of Cassillis There were earls Of
Cassilis before Mary, queen of Scots, mar
ried the dauphin of France, and there
were BHr0ns Kennedy before Columbus
discovered America. On that wild coast
which looks out on the Scottish islands,
where Ailsa lifts her head above the foam,
the kennedys have always roignod, and
Captain kennedy of the royal navy mar
ried a Miss Schuyler of New York, who is
put down in ,he records of the college of
heralds as coming from New Jersey. For
his second vito he married a Miss Watts
Of New York. and from that union spTang
the present marquis of Ailsa and earl of
Cassillis. The man who married Miss
Schuyler came To his earldOm and his
estates on the death of his brother after n
contest between the Earl of March and
Ruglen about the succession, which was
decided in favor of the captains brother.
1t was the same sort of n contest which
was wagcd by the Rev. Bryan Fairfax and
by Lord Stirling, with the potent excep
ton that two of the American claimants
were successful, and the third, Lord Stir
ling, was not. The fact that William Alex
ander fought bravely in the cause of tho
colonies may have had something to do
with his lack of success before the house
of lords However, the American blood
in the Earl of Cassilis advanced him to
a marquisate, and General De PeysJer has
erected a monument TO old John Watts.
One of the earl's sons married the daugh-
ter of General Alexander Macomb of tho
United States army New York Press.

HUSBAND AND WIFE.
The Difference Between the Two When a
Quarrel Is In Progress.

The difference between a man and %
woman is never quite as clearly defined as
when they quarrel. No matter how many
hundred times she has seen NJ TO forgive
/ his durelictions, il he once imagincs ne
| has grievance. then the mountains arc
| as putty i'm comparison with his immoya-
/ bility. The past is all forgotten. No
matter how good she may have been 90
him or how actually right she Is i'm tho
present instance, he is going TO assume -
highly judicial air that no amount OF
pleading can alter until he gets good and
ready to change his mood.
The yielding, loving woman who over
looks u mans faults and eXaggerutCs his
virtues stands no sort of chance when the
high and mighty lord and master takes il
into his head to DO indignant. Tho one
mistake she has made, the one aggrayating
circumstance she has been the cause of
creating, blots out all thoughts and mem
cries of the hours, minutes and seconds
when she has shaved for him, sacrificed
her own comfort many time in order TO
add to his enjoyment and counting no
trouble great if he but repays her with Il
smile.
The love of a wife for husband after
they have journeyed together from the sem
timental honeymoon To the prosaic realities
of matrimony is more that of mother for
a child, and with this feeling firmly inn
planted in her breast she is much more
willing to condone offcnses and wipe out
bitter remembrances than he who thinks
that his ways are always of right and wis
dom. We trust that many n husband will
read these lines, and we are talking TO
them this morning, and we hope that the
wives and mothers who are anxious TO stir
up sluggish conSciences will just mark
this sermon and leave it lying about where
masculine eyes are likely to rest upon it.
Thora is no fear of trouble resulting, for
If we do stir up hornets nest the sole
cause of the disturbance will be too far
out of reach TO make il worth quarTeling
about. Philadelphia Times.

Signs of the Times,

THE Young Peoples Movement" of
the close Of the nineteenth century has
a significance which is not all apparent
on the surface. 1t is worldwide, it
embraces all Protestant denominations.
it Is progressive in thought and action
on evangelical lines, it is missionary
III spirit, patriotic and loyal in senti-
ment and at bottom means the bring
ing in of the kingdom of Christ We
regard its rise at this time as pruvi-
Dental. The social and industrial un-
rest and ferment, political disintegra-
tion and realignment, prevalence of
fraud and greed are all menaces of our
nationality if not of our civilization.
The greatest if not the only hope lies in
the church of Jesus Christ. But unless
the young life is aroused to enthusiast
tic and intelligent activity no aid of
value need be expected The hope of
the nation and of the world lies in the
twentieth century in the consecrated
and determined young people of the
church of Christ

CAMEL'S HAIR SHAWLS.
How the Finest and Most Expensive Ones
Are Manufactured.

Are Manufactured.
In Bokhara, where the finest and most
expensive camel's hair shawls are manu-.
factured, the camel is watched while the
fine hair on the under part of his body is
growing. This is clipped so carefully that
not Il fiber is lost, and it is put by until
there is enough to spin into yarn, which
is unequaled for softnCss 1t is then dyed
all manner of beautiful bright colors and
woven in strips eight inches wide in shawl
patterns of such exquisite design ms with
all our study of art and all our schools of
design we are not able To rival These
strips are then sewed together so cunning
ly that it is impossible to detect where
they are Joined. Russia is the principal
market to which these beautiful Box haran
creations are sent. From Russia they find
their way all over the world London,
Paris, Vienna and New York being the
heaviest importers.
Besides these oriental shawls there are
beautiful woven shawls of Paisley, Scot
land, the printed shawls of Lyons and the
hlmy Llama lace creations which, unlike
the oriental works of art, are within reach
of the moderate purse Special artists with
pencil and brush are engaged in making
designs for these shawls. While years, and
sometimes lifetime, were and are re-
CURED for the manufacture of the Bokhar-
an and Hindoo shawls, at Paisley, if the
pattern requires months in it's designing,
the weaving of the most elaborate pattern
occupies only week.
The cutting of the threads from the
backs of the shawls, which was formerly a
process requiring the combined labor of
two girls one entire day for each shawl, is
now dono by "a French machine in a min
ute and n half. Few of the grand danes
who boast of costly oriental shawls, rugs
and portieres know that these same articles
have probably seen service before they
came into their possession, that the mag
nificent shawls in which they wrap them
selves have enveloped the women of some
harems, and the rugs and portieres have
draped their luxurious apartments. 1t is
not uncommon to find teltale darn that
confirms this suspicion. Textile World

Jacob Smuk ArreSted
on Complaint of a
Woman
Who Says He Assaulted Her
And otherwise Abused and Fright
ened Her-The Trouble Occurred
sunday Night-Laconics.

Jacob Smuk was. MP before Justice
Fisher yesterday charged with assault
amp battery on complaint OF Miss Tracy
Struger. The direct charge however.
was that Smuk had tried to burn her
hair by setting fire to it with matches
while she was sleeping,
1t seems that they live in the same
boarding house on Eighth street and
that on Sunday night Smuk got very
much intoxicated and he and another
boarder were carousing and having a
good time until late hour. The woman
in the question was sleeping in a room
next to where they were, and Smuk, in
his drunken fancy, thought it would be
smart trick to set fire to her hair, OF
growth. He went oyer to the match
box and filled his pockets with matches
and then struck one, His partner was
not so intoxicated and demonstrated
with him, but it was of no avail and
Smuk set the burning match next to her
hair and in minute the fair locks were
ablaze, The other fellow, however,
quickly put them out by running his
hand over the fire, but Smuk struck an
other match and again set fire to her
hair.
The first time the noise did not
awaken the woman who was sleeping
soundly, but the second time she became
aroused This time the match did it's
work and it was with difficulty that the
fire was put out and not until the woman
was almost shorn OF her pretty hair.
or course she was highly indignant
and would not accept the apologies OF
Smuk who afterward explained that he
was intoxicated ank knew not what he
did, but her feminine anger was aroused
to it's highest pitch and she applied to
the law for revenge and accordingly got
out warrant for the arrest OF Smuk.
She claims that a good deal OF her beauty
depended on these locks and she wanted
Smuk to pay dearly for the amusement
he had, He pleaded guilty to the charge
as the witnesses in her favor would cas-
lily have proven him guilty and the Judge
let him off with paying fine OF SO and
costs
