Il shouldn't wonder if she were

to be scrutinizing her companion quite
closely"
Don't try to think up mean things

How the Up-to-Date Girl Seals Hsr
Letters.

How the Up-to-Date Girl Seals Hsr
Letters.
My lady has a new fad about her pa
peterie which this time has nothing to
do with the size or shape of the en-
velope or the tint of the paper. The
fad has just begun to gain a hold on
New York society girls, but 1t Is seen
often enough for the letter carriers to
have noticed 1t, and If you carefully
inspect envelopes the fair sex have
used that come to your notice you will
soon see what 1t is. When she seals
her letters now the up-to-date girl no
longer puts the seal in the apex of the
triangle made by the flap of the en-
velope, but carefully sets 1t about two
inches to the left, as the envelope lies
address side down, on her writing ia
BILE. Just what the reason for this is
or what the origin of it was none OF
the fair ones who are following the
fad seems to be exactly sure TITS sc
novel, though" one of them explained
land the seal really looks much more
artistic off to one side than planted
right In the center" Rumor has II
that the fad started from a letter re-
ceived from New York girl now in
Paris who has quite a reputation
among her friends for doing origina
things. AS so many of the styles ane
fads come from the capital of France
that seems as good an explanation al
any.

SAINTS AND SINNERS.

During certain seasons of the year
Emerson is one of our saints His
ldealism Is too balmy for winter; 1t
has all the transparency of mountain
attitudes and summer skies. With the
first breath of spring we overhaul our
hshing-tackle and get out the we'll
worn volume Of the Concord seer.
Those not in the secret may wonder
at this strange conjunction and hastily
conclude 1t to be paradoxical. Were
they acquainted with that excellent
work of divinity entitled, "The Com
plete Angler" they could not fail to
detect the unreasoned logic of our &C
ton.
Indeed we might refer them to the
New Testament as a justification of
our hooking bunch of tangled flies
into the pages of Nature" The
founders of the new religion were fish
ermen. Christianity did not begin with
revival in some stuffy temple; it had
its birth in the open air, by the dam
cling waves of Galilee, where honest.
hard handed men were at the loved
task of "mending their nets" Every
fisherman knows what that means.
Jesus happened on them at Just the
right time. Did He implore them to
prry? Did He seek to have them con-
verted? Did He preach to them on the
necessity of getting religion? Read
the chapter in Matthew. He simply
asked them to come with Him, and He
would show them better fishing. Only
a passion mighty as that which Jesus
inspired could have caused them to
throw down their nets and follow Him.
1t is curious to note how, after the
blasting of great hopes, their hearts
went back to their beloved Galilee.
81 go a-fishing," said Peter; and he
put into words the yearning Of the
others. We jewellers in the city who
strive unto WEAKNESS and blasted
hopes know only too well how poor
Peter felt. These are the days when
we long to go a-fishing" We have
looked over the old tackles with such
loving care; into every snarl were
woven score of rare memories. We
picked them out as we pulled at the
worn fragments of fixture. These
hours Of net-mending are the hours Of
devotion to the born angler-anglers
are born, as are poets. The spirit of
Father Walton bears us away at times
from the roar OF the great strife We
enter realm where only kindred souls
are found. The east wind never blows
when we go a-fishing In our dreams.
The days are always golden, and jew
eled with such Joys as only the fisher
man appreciates at their true worth.
This day of dreams is too idyllic for
prose description. The evening draws
on, the night deepens and the stars
come out one by one. Soon we will
go to our slumber and dream of the
morrow; dream of clear skies, soft
breezes, brooks and birds-"Six o'clock,
sir!" All, the pain of 1t! We too
have been toiling all night, and have
taken nothing-nothing but the mem
DRY of a dream that will haunt us
through all the weary hours of our
commonplace toll.

There is no new features in the Senatorial

that the senior Senator will either be re.

SILK MILL PROJECT.
A Plant May be Established In This Town
In the Near Future.

The establishment Of a silk mill in town
has suddenly loomed up as one of the prob
abilities of the near future. Although such
projects have been a topic Of local discussion
for years and no serious steps have been taken
towards putting them in operation, the pres
ent movement promises 10 assume a shape Of
promise to the town.
Mr.. Q. Schnell, gentleman interested in
silk mill industries at Patterson, N. j.. was
in town this afternoon with letter of in
PRODUCTION to j. K. Coyle, Esq. After Mr..
Schnel made known the object of his visit
and briefly outlined his plans both gentle
men called upon several prominent business
men and property owners of town and re-
ccived such encouragement that steps will be
taken toward amicable arrangements for the
establishment of silk mill here. AS one
result Of the conference Mr.. Schnel has
agreed to return here within a few days to
have another consultation. He will be &C
companied by one of the financial hackers OF
the Patterson mills. The company Mr..
Schnell represents has mill in operation at
Lehighton and is about to build one at
Mauch Chunk. Negotiations for another are
about to be closed at Mt Carmel.

WORK ON THE
MONUMENTI !
Meeting of the Association Held Last
Night.
REPRESENTATIVES ARE TARDY
The Board OF Directors to Pre- pare Plans
for improving the Plot Of Ground
Secured and Make Arrangements
For Active Work Next Month.

The Soldiers Monument Association held a
meeting in the G.. A. r. headquarters last
night and was attended by representatives Of
several Of the societies in town who had an
interest in the movement, but the list of
representatives absent from the meeting was
far in excess of those ia attendance, not
withstsnding notices to have all representa-
tives present had been issued several days in
advance. The failure n attend was a sub
ject Of discussion and the hope was expressed
that the societies will instruct their respective
delegates to attend the meetings Of the
Association and keep abreast with its move
ments, as decisive work is now in progress.
After the committee on site reported that
the deed for the plot Of ground upon which
the monument is to be placed had been ex-
ecuted, and the Association was in position
| to proceed with its work there was discus
sion as TO what should be the first step.
Among other things, II was suggested thst
the Board of Directors meet at an early date
and formulate plans and estimates for clear
ing the ground, grading it and otherwise i'm.
proving its condition. The suggestion met
with the approval of the meeting and the
Board was so instructed. and a report is to be
made at an adjourned meeting Of the Associa.
tion, to be held on the 18th inst.
1t was also decided that the Board at the
same time take up suggestion to have the
grounds fenced, and that estimates be secured
on the cost of the most substantial and suit
able fence for the purpose. The plot is quite
a large one and a fence will entail no small
item. The general belief is that 1t would be
a waste of money TO place a wooden fence
there. 1t is intended to have all these pre-
hminaries arranged so that active work may
begin next month.
