An Estimate Of Henry George

Henry George had all the popular
gifts of the American orator and jour.
nalist, with something more. Sincerity
rang out of every utterance. Sparing in
book knowledge, he had hammered out
his thoughts upon the forge of personal
experience and showed them hot from
the hammer, rude and unfinished in
form. For this very reason Progress
and Poverty. . a stumbling block to re-
sponsible politicians, to the economic
professor foolishness, struck the common
mind of the thinking people with con.
vincing and dramatic force. The infu-
ence of this first book of serious eco
nomic import which ever reached the
outer circle of the English reading pub
lie is not to be sighted. 1t is master
of deep significance that such a book
should have reached a circulation of far
upward of 100, 900 copies. Upon the
pressure Of the early popularity Of his
book Henry George threw the weight OF
his present personality, and his great
gifts as oratoraand debater secured his
influence and widely advertised his doc
trines at a time particularly favorable
to their reception. -FortnightIy Re-

Design of Pattern and Locality of Manu-
facture Make the Distinction.

Design of Pattern and Locality of Manu-
facture Make the Distinction.
Orlena L. Shackleford, in Centuries
of Lace, 2 in The Woman's Home Com
panion, gives these interesting facts on
lace manufacture:
s'The nomenclature of lace is decided
by certain peculiarities of pattern, mesh
or stitches that belong to certain locali-
ties and it is retained even when the
localities have long ceased to produce
their distinctive fabrications Valen-
ciennes has not for many years wrought
the laces that bear its name, their man
ufacture having long since been trans
ferred to Ypres, Belgium, while the
chantilly laces are all made at Bayeux.
"The finest French laces are made in
Normandy, the cheaper ones come from
the Auvergne, which was the first
French province to produce pillow lace.
Bayeux, with her tributary surround
ings, is the largest and best producer of
black laces. Her chantilly is par ex-
cellence the finest ever made. Caen is
also a center for black laces. Normandy
produces good black and white blends.
Guipures are made in the Auyergne, but
the finest come from the Vosges. Mire-
courtfurnishes fine pointand pillow lace.
Brussels furnishes most of the Belgian
needle points, though east Flanders,
Brabant and Hainault now supply large
quantities. The old laces for which
Binche, Bruges and Flanders we're once
SO celebrated are no longer the mode,
though still much priced by connois-
seurs This is also true of malines, or
mechlin, lace and valenciennes, though
the latter is returning to favor. Bruges
makes round mesh valenciennes, not SO
beautiful as the lozenge ground, and
coarser qualities come from Courtrai
and different parts of Flanders. Lille
and Valenciennes formerly belonged to
the Netherlands, which accounts for
their early proficiency in lacemaking.
Flemish guipures are noted for their
excellence. The Belgian and French
laoes are the finest, in point Of fabrica-
ton, in the world. Paris is to large
extent an emporium for Belgian laces.
She is the birthplace of fashions and
novelties and dictates lace designs, keep
ing alive emulation and rewarding merit
through her Society of Decorative Arts.
To France must be accorded the palm
for black laces, while Belgium may
claim it for the vaporous fineness of her
points, nothing equaling in ethereal del
icacy her famous point de gaze.

THE BEEHIVE.

The bee life is longer or shorter just in
proportion TO the labor it performs.
Disturbing bees during cold weather Is
one of the most disastrous things that can
be done.
A locality beautifully supplied with
clover and Eastwood is a paradise for the
beekeeper and his bees.
You need be seldom troubled with
swarming if all the queen cells are taken
out before they are sealed over.
The workers are dwarfed female bees
and SO small that they never become i'm
pregnated and do not lay eggs.
Bees are the best friends of the growers
of small fruits because they fructify the
flowers and cause the fruit to mature
Honey improves with age. The older
it is the finer the flavor. Comb honey
should be kept in moderately warm room.
