gium's Queen Against LAes
Made By Machinery.

The stamp Of royal approval has
been placed upon the boycott, that en-
CINE so often employed with effect in
bloodless warfare. Queen Marie Hem
riette of Belgium, seeing danger to
many thousa nds of her people in the
introduction OF machines for making
lace, wrote to her sister queens
throughout Europe and received their
coopera tion in a movement 10 boycott
the product of such machines. Since
the advent of lacemaking machinery
the number of lacemakers in Belgium
and northern France has decreased
by about 10000, and many of these
workers have been unable to secure
employment. Queen Marie therefore
took the matter up and has met with
10 inconsiderable degree OF success
Her majesty is one of the most accom-
)lished women in Europe. Queen
Marie Henriette is the daughter of the
ate Archduke Joseph of Austria. She
ls the mother of Princess Stephanie of
Austria. The pope has recognized her
with the Golden Rose of Virtue, the
highest regard he could bestow upon
her. She is noted for her fondnees for
horses, which she shows by giving
equestrian entertainments. She is
also an enthusiastic musician and
plays the harp and piano like q pro-
fessional. Some of her paintings are
worthy of the Paris salon. Two years
ago she is said to have attempted sui
eide because of the prodigacy OF her
husband, King Leopold.

BANDED NOT TO MARRY.
A Club Of Twelve Boston Young Mel
Who Decide to Encourage
BaohelOrhOOd.

With the greatest secrecy an anti
matrimonial club was recently formed
in Boston, with membership of just
10. The secret was too much for one or
two Of the young men, and now nearly
all about the unholy compact is known.
1t is proposed to dine annually as long
as the men hold together, and should
one Of them be married he must give a
farewell dinner costing not less than
ten dollars plate, and as much more
than that as he cares to afford, to II
the other members, and must also pay
into the general treasury for the ac-
cumulation of club fund the sum Of
$500 as slight forfeit" for his treason
to the cause in taking unto himself a
wife. Eventually, if all but one, nem-
ber became married, the remaining
bachelor would pocket the contribu-
tions of the others, amounting to $500
and interest accruing from time TO
time, besides which he would meall-
while enjoy many excellent dinners.
The members of The Club of Twelve,
as it is called, were desirous of keep
ing their plan secret, fearing that if it
became generally known society might
receive them less cordially than OF
yore. Such result has not yet become
apparent. Indeed, matchmaking
mammas laugh at the whole affair
limiting that these vows of celibacy
must represent some cases Of disap-
pointed love.
