matter of gloves, looking ahead sever

matter of gloves, looking ahead sever
al months, as the manufacturers do,
the suede glove is going to be the glove
for spring wear. The manufacturers
have tested the public taste as far as
may be, and it is for this demand that
they are preparing.
There is another style of glove that
comes to the manufacturers hands. II
the shoes for the theatrical trade come
from Broadway, the gloves are Four
teenth street product. Large quanti-
ties of all sorts and kinds are made for
different theatrical productions. These
are in all fancy designs and colors.
These gloves are for special produc-
tions. For society plays the gloves are
of the ordinary varieties and bought
from the regular stock. One pair Of
gloves made for a comedian were mis-
mates. The one glove was an ordinary
mans glove; the other was 60 inches
long. The length of the wrist was
worn up the sleeve. In the production,
as the man drew off yard or two OF
glove, he brought down the house.
The magician's marvellous gloves al
so come from the regular shop. The
ordinary glove which he develops by
his art into mammoth affair a foot
long and then contracts TO the size of
a baby's hand may be borrowed from
some one in the audience, but the big
glove and the little glove, which are
so mysterious, have come perhaps
from the very same glove shop, only
they were made to order.
Another feature of the glove manu-
facturer's work is that, making gloves,
he can also mend them. When he says
that he will mend gloves he does it
somewhat as guarantee of the good
wearing qualities of his gloves. If
every one to whom he sold gloves
came in to have them mended he would
have to give up his regular business
and mend only. But they do not.
There Is about 1 percent of those who
buy gloves who bring them back for
repairs. 1t is not expected when they
are sold that they will rip or tear, but
if by chance they do they are mended,
and the mending is more satisfactory
than anything that the amateur can
do at home.
But to have well-fitting gloves one
must take pains to put them on care
fully" the glove man says in conclu-
sion. Put the glove on slowly for the
first time, be sure that all the seams
are straight, or, no matter what the
glove is, it will never fit or present a
really satisfactory appearance"

KEY COLLECTING.
The New and Strange Fad of n Feminine
Traveller.

The New and Strange Fad of II Feminine
Traveller.
Key collecting is the latest fad to at
tack young and enthusiastic American
visitors to European shores. The OBJ
ject of the craze. luckily. is not preda-
tory, but artistic, but it is also very
insidous in its effects. Indeed. it ap-
pears that by the time the seriousness
of the craze becomes manifest there re-
mains neither courage nor disposition
to combat it.
In the Puritan Miss Marie Overton
Corbln explains that the first key germ
to assail her was in one of the doors
at an old London show-place. 1t was
just a plain medieval iron key. and
was apparently attending strictly to
business; but it surely was magnetic
for she looked and longed and then
and there determined to possess it,
Fortunately, the man in attendance,
she alleges, was corruptible, and as
his love for his queen was so profound
that coin bearing her profile seemed
far more desirable than a bit of rusty
iron, the matter was soon adjusted.
The moment that key was hers it's
iron entered her soul, and from that
day the mania became so dominant
that she could not enter a cathedral or
any historical building without peering
behind the doors to see if the old keys
were in their locks.
Were any one to ask for a descrip-
tion of this or that abbey, memory
would be sure to play her false; but
let them ask for a description of their
keys, and they would receive an ac-
curate account.
No doubt the distinct mental pho
Biography was born of covetousness,
for in many instances the vergers
would not listen to entreaties or deli
cately suggested bribes, and there was
nothing to do but to come keyless
away. The old verger at Shake
speare's church, Stratford, was so sus-
picious after her overtures, that he
gathered up every key in sight, and
then followed her closely while she
made the usual rounds.
Many of Miss Corbin's specimens,
however, were not annexed" but
gathered from the scrap heaps of lock-
smiths; others passed into circulation
through the hands of contractors for
the tearing down of famous buildings.
A few drifted away from direct lines
of descent of family heirlooms and be-
came attracted to the growing mass
in the collectors hands.
"One must have an ever -watchful
eye and sort of penetrating instinct
also we'll to have energetic and enter
prising friends-and to exercise a wise
and discriminating lack of curiosity as
to their sources of supply or methods
of workings"

The man who wishes to send some

There is reason to Believe that the
movement of population from the
country to the city is subsiding and
that farming is becoming more popu-
lar. 1t ought TO. Farming properly
followed is as sure and good a busi-
ness as any other. 1t may be slow
process of acquiring a competence,
but it is the most certain and the most
independent one. With industry and
economy a comfortable living can be
made by 9ultivating the soil, with
less labor and risk than by any other
honest method known. Stick to the

Tho Days of Big Books.

1.-THE day of big books has gone by"
remarked a New Orleans dealer the
other evening. speaking of some re-
cent fine publications. up to few
years ago nearly all the art prints and
handsome illustrated editions of stand
ard works were either folios or some
thing almost as large. There's beau
tiful set of Dickens, for instance, print.
ed in 1885, The illustrations alone
cost fully $4,000 and it represented
high-water mark in mechanical excel
lence at that period. But look at the
size of the volumes! They are almost
as big and heavy as standard cyclope
dias! At present the tendency is just
the other way, and the majority of the
really fine books that are being pub
lished are small and light. The usual
cover measurement is from SKI to 6xS
inches, and most of the standard nov
els are coming out in that size. One
reason why big books have gone out
of favor may strike you at first blush
as rather foolish, but I'm assured of it's
Importance by publishers who have
made the trade lifetime study. The
big book can't be read in bed. It's too
heavy to be held when one is in a
reclining position, while the small
compact volume can be handled as
easily as a magazine. The great, mas
sive folios of the old times made nice
ornaments for the center table and
came in handy for the younger chill
dren to sit on at table. but to really
read them was Job for an athlete"

SOCIAL EVENT

Those who attended the social at the
Seminary Saturday vening report very
plee lant occasion The first number of the
program WAS a piano solo by MISS Grace
Joslyn rendered in her usual finished man
ner. This was folowei by a recitation
"She Didn't Want to Meddle." by Miss
Helen Huntington. This selection showed
the result OF much careful study and was
vigorously encored. The third number
wes vocal solo by Miss Evelyn Celley
She sang in very pleasing manner and the
round Of applause thet followed proved that
her efforts were appreciated by the audi
ence.
Following this was a recitation, Under
the Buggy Seat" by Mis- Eunice Sher-
burne. This was humorous selection, and
Miss Sherburne's impersonstions were so
real that she kept her audience convused
with laughter. She was loudly encored.
The last number was a prize drill by the
military company. After some preliminary
marching in which the boys made very
creditable showing in spite OF the narrow
quarters in the dining hall, the company
proceeded to execute the manual of arms.
Capt. W. A. Pattee and First Sergeant
jerry OF Company II acted as judges. After
an hour OF almost constant drilling, the first
prize was awarded to First Sergeant J. M. .
febbetts, the second to Corporal j. II
Eastman, with honorable mention of j

MURDEROUS ASSAULT.

Noah Gleason, aged twenty six, was shot
in the neck and face Sunday night by
Thomas Barrett, Details of the crime are
meagre. Gleason says he went to Barrett's
house Sunday afternoon to hire member
OF the family to work upon his fam. He
knocked at the door but received no re.
sponse. Two families occupy the Barrett
house, and a woman living in the other part
OF the house warned Gleason that Barrett
ives preparing to shoot him. just then,
Barrett opened the door and discharged one
barrel of a shot gun at Gleason, the charge
taking effect in his neck. The collar Of his
heavy ulster YVES turned up and afforded
considerable protection, possibly saving his
life. Gleason turned and ran, pursued by
his assailant, but was not overtaken.
Two physicians extracted eight shot from
Gleason's neck and more are still lodged
there. 1t is ext ected he will recover. Bar
rett could not be found last night and 1t is
thought that he has stlrted for New York
State. Barrett is a man about forty years
of age, OF sandy complexion aud wears a
short red beard. He is a wood sawyer by
trade. Sheriff Peabody is inve tigating the
