The following are samples of the
kind of dispatches which we fre-
quently see in daily papers;
CLEVELAND, O.. Mch. Within the
past two days fully 5000 men large
ly employed in the various mills
controlled by American Steel and
Wire company ofthis city, have been
notified of an increase in wages
ranging from 5 to 10%. The food
of orders, revival in the steel trade
and advance in prices for finished
material are given as reasons for the
fer the advance.
MARTINS FERRY, o.. March. g.
The American Tin Plate company
has notified employees of local plants
of the voluntary increase in wages o.
from to 10%. Oyer 1000 men are
affected.
The writer expresses the hope thai
our old friend Rev. II. B. B. will
take courage from the above and nu
merous similar accounts read in the
papers nearly every day and make
up his mind that the Laborer will gel
his dues in the end.

Samples.

More Sensational Assays and Rich
Samples.
The Boston & De La Mar of Della
mar, New, came forward yesterday
with assays more sensational than
any that have hitherto been derived
from that proposition, the samples
that afforded them coming from moth
ing less than a dump that had been
abandoned several years ago, and
that is at point nearest the lines of
the April Fool. Manager Griffith,
who had received them, had three
tests made. One of them yielded
1920 in gold, second $142 and a
third 1882 in gold. With this infor-
nation the manas ement at once dis
patched word to the foreman to place
a shift upon the shaft from which
this material came and to continue
sinking until further notice. How
much of streak of the high grade
exists in the shaft is not known, nor
was its presence there suspected,
says Mr.. Griffith, until the assays
were obtained.-Tribune.
The output of Capt. De La Mars
Mercur mines, that has already
reached 600 tons daily, is to be in
creased to 900, and to that end the
enlargement of the roasting plant is
to be begun in the next few days,
To roast 600 tons daily, the manage,
ment is now using six giant furnaces
and to increase the capacity of tie
plant simply necessitates an addition
of three of corresponding size, for
which ample provision was made
when the matchless plant was pro-
iected. Victor M. Clement, who is
on the ground, will, in all probabili'
ty, contract for the engagements
the coming week, and with 900 ton'
passing daily through the peerless
crushers, the Captains earnings vii
at once go to astounding figures

A Marvellous History.

The DeLamar, New. property has
a marvellous history in its progress
from prospect, when purchased by
Capt, De La Mar, up to the present
time. Millions of pounds of machin-
cry, building material, piping, ETC.,
had to be hauled from the railway at
Milford, 160 miles, for the purpose
of putting in the mill, having pres
ent capacity of $50 to 400 tons day;
for the putting in of several pump
ing stations and pipe lines from 10
to 80 or more miles each; hosting
machinery for the mine, and all that
vast aggregation Of materials re-
quisite for putting in such great
mining and milling plants, water sys-
TENS, etc., as it now stands and
classed as one of the best in the coun-
try. Then the question of fuel has
added great expense to the plant
and this is along with other items

The Making of Fine Meshes-Some Inter-

The Making of Fine Meshes-Some Inter-
esting History.
Handmade lace has fascinating
history, says The Woman's Home
Companion. Some have supposed
that it originated in Egypt, the land
that gave birth to nearly all the
arts, but search diligently as you
may and you will never discover
in mummy's tomb. on sculptured or
painted wall or in any archaeological
find whatever, the pictorial or actual
remains of this poetic tissue; neither
is there documentary evidence Of
its presence there. GAUGES and nets.
fine muslins and exquisite embroid-
cries, fringes, knotted and plated, :
you may meet with frequently, but
this fabric without foundation.
this ethereal textile, named by the
italians "punto in aria" (stitch in
air), you will never chance upon.
Why's Because it did not exist before
the fifteenth century; because it was
invented by the European woman,
forming her contribution to the re-
Nuisance, and was unknown to the
Orientals, who have even now no
love for its pale perfection and do
not use it in their costumes or in
household decoration. It's lack of
color makes 1t unlovely in their eyes.
Fanciful stories have been woven
to account for the invention of the
art, and the honor has been claimed
by both Venice and Flanders. Yet
1t did not at once spring into being
in full perfection. but was rather an
evolution and came by degrees.
In "punto tagliato" (out point) we
first perceive cropping in it's direo-
ton, for with the piercings of white
embroidery we have a lighter effect.
In drawn work ("punto tirato") an
other step was gained, and in retic-
ulated grounds or network we have
a decided advantage Upon this net
the pattern was darned in, and in
France 1t was called "lacis," the
nearest word we have to lace. After
these efforts came total emancipa-
ton from all foundations, and the
"punto in aria" was an assured fact.
The first lace, it is thought, was
made with the needle (point), the
pattern being traced upon parch-
ment or paper, andf the outlines
marked by thread, caught now
and then to the paper, to keep it in
place. Upon this scaffolding the
sight superstructure was built, and
the method is still the same. Soon
afterward the bobbins came in as a
factor, and the needle and the bob
bins remain to this day the only
means employed to produce hand
made lace. So that all of it resolves
itself into the twosgeneric kinds
point, which is made by the needle,
and pillow, by the bobbins, or there
may be composite article made by
both.

Quick wit.


Mr.. Asphalt, d clever and reck-
less barrister, famous in the sixties
in Victoria for his fun and audacity,
was addressing an election meeting
in Ballarat, the golden CITY," The
lively advocate had come to that
time in his career when much whis-
ky and soda had wrought palpable
havoc with his complexion. His
speech ended, and questions were
invited. "Aspinall, beloved a
stalwart digger, 'tell us what makes
your face so redl" "Blushing at
your COMPOUNDED impudence, sirl''
was the quick reply. 1t carried the
meeting.
Sir Rupert Steve-we may call
him so-an eloquent colonial barris-
ter now living, is as clever lawyer
as Asphalt was, though of very
different habits of life. He is also a
very bitter opponent of the ministry.
Speaking at public meeting not
long ago he thus referred to the COM

the premier were vague and indefi-

in Forest and Stream an adventure
which must have been exciting
enough to save his day from mo-

was hauling my boat across
Eley's meadow to the creek, hard
pull, with decoys, gun and ammuni-
ton. I was about half way across

noticed that one of a large herd of
cattle was coming my way looked

ran, so turned over my boat and
crawled under it. The bull seemed
surprised that l had disappeared,
and after shifting around awhile
went off. l waited until he was
nearly up with the cattle and then
started again, but the old fellow was
no fool. He had his eye on me, and
l had hardly started before he came
back on the run.
To do my best couldn't make
the creek, so under the boat / went
again. This time the bull was mad.
He beloved and paved and tore up
the sod around the boat with his
horns, but held the boat down.
Finally, when / was getting tired,
he got tired himself and went SO far
away that this time made the creek
and launched my boat.
