The Modern Doilies.

The modern housekeeper delights in
doilies. She now collects these exqui-
site bits of fine linen with the same en-
thusiasm with which she once collected
souvenir spoons.
The three kinds of doilles most used
today are the tumbler, finger bowl and
plate dolly.
The average size for the tumbler dol
ly is by inches, the finger bowl dolly
inches in diameter and the plate dolly
either 10 or u inches. The most ex-
quisite doilies have centers of the sheer
est linen and an edge of duchesse lace.
Other fine doilies have a border of
point de venise. The crepon lace for
doilies is also much used and is decid-
edly pretty in effect. The lace dollies
are the best style at present Doilies
embroidered in colors are but seldom
used.
If possible, never fold doilies and CEN
terpieces. Let them each have in the
linen closet separate box for their
exclusive keeping which is large
enough to bold them nfolded.-House-

FISHERY OWNED BY WOMAN.
business Conducted by Mrs. Waller
on banks of The pnfnmnc

just below Washington. on the Poto-
mac. ut this season of the year visitors
may see in full blast the largest seine
fishery in the world. The unique feature
about it is that this great enterprise, en-
ploylng hundreds of men and doing n
business that mounts up into the hun
drte.S of thousands, is owned and operat-
ed by a woman.
This great fishery at Whitewater is not
new enterprise. but dates back to ante
revolutionary days. II has always been
in the hands of the Waller family. At the
beginning of the civil war il was known
throughout the country. and Benjamin
Waller, its owner, was one of the wealth
lest men in the Old Dominion: but. like
vast majority of the prominent men Of
his state, he espoused the cause of the
south, and when final defeat over
took the Confederacy at Appomattox he
found himself a colonel, it is true. but his
fine old mansion was in ruins, his broad
acres were but an unproductiye waste,
and his fishery was but a suggestion of
what it had been.
For a few years the brave old colonel
struggled TO mend his broken fortunes,
but his losses and wounds and sorrows
proved too much for him. and he finally
gave up the struggle and passed to his
last reward leaving widow and six
daughters TO make their way in the world
as best they could. Then it was that
Mrs. Waller, summoning to her aid all
the courage of the Revolutionary ances-
tors that was in her veins, began to dem
onstrate to the world what woman can
? do. In her prosperous days she had been
a shy, timid little woman, but the pres
sure of necessity stamped all that out,
and while she has never ceased to be wo-
manly and sympathetic she acquired q
decision and tirmness that were not to be
mistaken. Very soon there was not an
employee who did not realize that she
was the managing and guiding force in
the business and that her commands, al
though given in a gentle and courteous
voice, must be obeyed without cavil or
question.
Mrs. Waller familiarized herself with
every detail of the business, from hauling
in the nets to the markets, and in a re-
markaby short time her business ability
was amply demonstrated by increasing
demands for the products of the seines.
Never for day has the business Jagged
slnce Mrs Waller took charge of it thir-
ty-three years ago; but, on the contrary.
1t has grown until now she is at the head
of business which this year will involve
over $250,0O0. 1t is unnecessary to say
that she is a wealthy woman, but for all
that she personally superintends the bust
ness just as she did in the old days when
she was fighting the battle for bread for
herself and the little ones.-Baltimore

"There's no place of that name here

"Yes."
"Let me see. moo. There's CANNES

"Mullguys jist cot ABBOTT six mile, if

The Care of Oily Hair.

Too oily hair is the result of poor cir
culation. 1t should be constantly attend
ed to and washed every week. 1t is caus-
ed by too much grease between the skull
and the scalp. 1t is bad grease and can
only be removed by massage because
massage is the only thing that will bring
the blood to the surface. To pour tonic
on greasy hair is like pouring water on
olive oil.
Greasy hair has large pores. 1t re-
quires more washing. more soap or sham
poo, less brushing and much massage.

the fear of an outbreak of labor trou- bles among the miners during the con- ing year has been a persistent influ- ence in discouraging speculation in the stocks. The advances ran from about a point up to 2ls in Delaware and Hud- son and in Hooking Valley.
 The strength of the Paciflcs and transcontnentals was apparently based on the favorable showing which it is ex- pected the Union Pacific annual report will make. Reports of adjustment or efforts making towards that end. of rate disturbances in the west helped the railroad list generally. The bull campaign in the local traction stocks was renewed under the leadership of Manhattan. The sharp gains in a num- Der of industrials were based on indi- vidual considerations. The express stocks were conspicuous as group. Westinghouse Electric rose buoyantly 111a, and at a reaction closed with a net gain of g. Sugar was heavy on the signs of the renewal of the rate war in that trade.
 The rate for call loans stiffened late in the day to 9 per cent, but had very little effect on the stock market. AL though the banks here apparently lost nearly $2,000,000 in cash during the week sentiment is for the moment optimistic over the money outlook. To-morrow's bank statement it is hoped, will reveal a large loan contraction, although the rise in call money to-day fails to cor roborate this expectation The fact that to-morrows steamers are the last on which gold shipments could reach foreign destinations in time for the an- nual settlements was felt to end the possibility of further drain on that score. The payment to-day of the divi- dend on United States Steel common. amounting to over $5,00O,000 is expected to affect favorably the money market.

THE PASSING OF MADONNA IN
 ART,

Those pious old worshippers with the brush created once and forever a Madonna which was lifted out of the realities by it's sacred fervor. It was a mother and child, Ito be sure, but subli- mated and ennobied by the intensity of devotion which produced it. All the gifts they possessed, all the sights com mon to their daily vision. all the thoughts of their exalted moments, and the attentive study of the sacred texts were concentrated on this spiritual rem lition of Mother and Child.
 But the concept.on, whence came it? Surely it had a f1reside or wayside ori- gin. One of those devout ancestors of art walked abroad some morning and saw mother caressing her baby under the twinkling sunlight of Florentine garden Another, by northerly hearth side, watched, with parental emotion, the little child he loved lie sleeping in its omther's arms. Botticelli painted the child and mother of Italy, touched with a charm which had come to him as guerdon for ght-beartedness and love of beauty for it's own sake. Michel angelo modelled a serener Madonna, whose face bespoke the profundity of his own insight. RaphaeIS conception was angelic in it's spirituality. He saw far into the heaven of his faith, and lifted his type up to that exalted revel- ation. Rubens found his ideal at the threshold, and it keeps warm that homelier association.
 As you go through the list it is plain that each master discovered motive among his own surroundings, and those divine types of the Madonna we prize as the heirlooms of a world are, after all only the everlasting childhood inter- preted by genius. The wonder is that such devout passion ever abated; that what was so universal in appeal should have lost it's power to stir and inspire. But with the relaxing grasp of the sim- ple old faith in revelation the Madonna was effaced from among the painters ideals-Harrson $. Morris in Scribner's Magazine.

PRISON FOR DISs DE BAR
SENTENCED TO SEVEN FEARS,
 PENAL SERVITUDE.
Her Companion Also Found Guilty and Sentenced to Fifteen Years-CIosing socnes nt the Trial in the Old Bailey.

London, Dec. 20-The revolting Theo- cratic Unity trial was ended to-day. A verdict of guilty was found against Jackson and Mrs. Jackson (Madame Dis de Bar, who were sentenced re- spectively to fifteen and seven years penal servitude. The defendants heard the sentences with astonshment, but in silence. The male prisoner imme- dately turned, left the prisoners dock and made his way towards the door leading from the court room and the fe- male prisoner smiling to the last, bow ed to the judge and the court and fol- lowed her companion.
 Jackson in his speech to the jury said 1t was monstrous that such an infa nous charge should be laid at their door, especially considering that his companion had devoted her life to Christian reform. However" he add ed, T believe that absolute justice can be obtained from an English judge and Jury which is more than I can say for AIlleTlCd.
 The female prisoner, in turn, address ed the jury. Drawng her chasing robes around her ample form and raising her. self to her full height, she held the court spellbound for over an hour. Mrs. Jackson never seemed to be at a loss for words. She carefully dissected all the evidence and wound up with a pow erful peroration, to the effect that she did not desire any halting, ambiguous verdict, but an unequivocal expression of justice. Mrs. Jackson then sat down panting and breathless.
 Justice Bingham summed up very strongly against the prisoners, saying it was difficult to conceive a more re- volting and abominable conduct. He would not be doing his duty unless he prevented the male prisoner from prac- Using such filthy acts under the cloak of religion for some years to come.
 The jury was absent less than five minutes. A death-like silence followed the pronouncement of the word Guilty and the judge quickly passed sentence.

THE STOCK MARkLI.
shows Relief from Disturbing Effect of Copper.

Copper.
 New York, Dec. 2O.-The stock mar ket showed its immense relief o-day from the disturbing effect of the recent eccentricity of ,Amalgamated Copper. There were some further contortions for a short time after the opening in that stock, but it settled down into condi- ton of quiet which has not been seen for many weeks. Between 66 and 67 it seemed to have arrived at a condition of stable equilibrium. The opening dip to 641a was apparently due to drive from the bears, who sought an oppor- tunity to cover their short contracts. The high level of the stock for the day was at 68 and the net gain was point. The statement issued by the directors last night was accepted as a proclama tion of struggle for business with the independent companies and such cut in the price of the product as would be necessary. This, however, had been definitely foreshadowed by previous de- veIopments and had been perverted and exaggerated by all sorts of rumors and manipulation. With authorized official 1nfOrmaClOn as a DdslS Ol OptidllollS, lIlt steadiness and quiet tone of the stock offered a remarkable contrast. The so- lution of part of the mystery which has hung over this stock let loose the forces of demand which have lain dormant in the market for several days past. The buying was apparently based on the general consideration of the high de- gree of prosperity which is prevailing in all branches of trade.
 The special strength of the coalers, which led the advance, was due to the seasonable weather for the trade and to reports of possible coming advance in the price of anthracite. The formation of the arbitration committee by the Ma tional Civic Federation was factor in the strength of this group, as the presi- ident of the miners organization has a prominent place in the committee and
