had threatened to shoot some of the
Plymouth people who were attending

was prevented from shooting by Mrs
Bub. who threw his weapon out of the
window. Bub gave the stranger a
thorough trouncing and left him. pre-
paratory to getting into his buggy to
return home. AS he was about to do
so. the man rushed up and stabbed
him in the breast, infiicting a two-inch
wound. The stranger has not as yet
been found.

liyered by him in the han of the Radical

not tolerate any attack on the head Of
nation with which Germany entertained
such friendly relations as with the
United States.
The proposed discussion Of the lecture

HOW LACES ARE NAMED.
Design of Pattern and Locality of Manu-
factrre Make .ae Distinction.

Design of Pattern and Locality of Manu-
facture Make Eee Distinction.
Orlena L. Shackleford, in Centuries
OF Lace" in The Woman's Home Com
panion, gives these interesting facts on
lace manufacture:
1.-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. Nalen-
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
chnntilly laceS are all made at BayeuX.
1.-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 q center for black laces Normandy
produces good black and white blends.
Guipures are made in the Auvergne, bat
the finest come from the Vosges. Mire-
court fine point and pillow lace.
Brussels furnishes most of the Belgian
needle points, though east Flanders,
Brabant and Hainault now supply largo
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 conhois-
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 i'll lacemaking.
Flemish Guipures are noted for their
excellence. The Belgian and French
laces are the finest, in point of fabrica-
ton, in the world. Paris is to a 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.
