HANDKERCHlEFS.

IT might truthfully be stated that the handker-
chief is of the most important articles of cloth
ing, and an interesting bit of reading it makes to
scan the statistics of the number of handkerchiefs
that are sold in one shop during the year. But
there are handkerchiefs and handkerchiefs, and
some have very little reference to Others
The bargain ones, that are sold for twelve and
half cents, and that are pretty and most useful,
bear little resemblance to the minute square of fin
est linen that is embroidered with the owners
monogram, and which never costs less than three
or four dollars. Just at present it is the fad to
have the finest and most expensive handkerchiefs
that can be bought exceedingly simple in so far
as they are finished with hem and hem-stitching,
of course, but the expense lies in the very fine text
ure of the material and in the wonderfully fine
stitches that are employed in the lettering. One
set of handkerchiefs-the set only amounted to
three-that were finished the other day. were EN-
broidered in hair. Large letters are not fashion
able-as small as possible when the single letters
are used-and even with the monogram nothing
exaggerated is considered correct.
The old-fashoned priceless lace handkerchiefs
that our grandmothers used to carry are now fash
ionabe again. That is they are included in all
thorough wardrobes; but they not often carried

POttern' War Against Lend.

For more than hundred years man
ufacturers of pottery have been trying
to find substitute for lead in making
glaze. The use of lead for this pur-
pose dates back to the ancient Assyr-
ians and Egyptians. The objection
to it is that, unless strict precautions
are taken, 1t poisons the workmen,
causing paralysis, blindness and even
death; but despite the efforts of modern
science, stimulated by the offer of
premiums and medals, no satisfactory
leadless glaze has yet been found. Re-
cent advances, however, have led to the
expression Of the opinion before the
Society of Arts in London that success
is at last within sight.-Youth's Com
panion.

ELIZABETH CADY STANTON, at the age of 80, is
as keen of intellect as eloquent with the pen, as
brimfnl of humor as she was fifty years ago, when
her strong fearless and progressive utterances on
the platform and her wonderful state papers gave
the world new knowledge of the intellectual possi-
bilities of woman. She lives with bachelor son,
and widowed daughter, in handsome fiat overlook

The DREYFUS CASE.

DURING year which has seen some of the
greatest changes of history, the most wonderful
thing is the manner in which the sorrow of one
man has drawn and held the sympathy of civiliza-
tion. The interest in the case of Captain Dreyfl1s
is almost withaut parallel in his, and bids fair to
continue as strong as ever for several months at
least The interest which the American people
take in CAPTAIN Dreyfus is shown by the fact that
the first edition of his letters to his wife was sold
out almost on the day of publication No one had
thought that book of this character would meet
with such unusual and immediate success and the
increasing demand for it is in the nature of sur
PRISE One might think that a series of letters
written in surroundings which gave not the slight
est inspiration, and covering period of more than
three years, might become monotonous. Instead,
any one who has followed the tragic story through
the newspapers of the last four years will find this
last chapter more interesting than all that have
gone before The devotion and faith to his wife
and the determination to live for her sake expressed
in them sublime.
