 Meanwhile thought occurred to some other fertile brained Yankee woman. If Deeriield blue and white colonial needle work was so fashionable and profitable, were there not possible revivals of other colonial industries in the village which would bring Tn their price? The col0- nial mothers wove and braided rag rugs and carpets for their floors, and their descendants use the same kind of floor coverings to this day. these articles be- ing both cheap and durable. Now, why colld not the old time floor coverings be- made commercially profitable, too? The reputation of Deertied embroiderias fioated the Deerfield homemade and handmade rugs. The women turned their attention to making these as artistic and attractive as possible, and presently they, too. became a noted product of the Deer field women's hand. industries All the floor coverings are woven upon hani looms generations old.

Now Deerfield women are braiding fancy baskets by hand-beautiful ones, too-and sending themselves or their daughters to college with the money. Other Deerfield women have gone into wood carving and brass
 work and are succeeding well. Finally the hand workers of the little old town be came so artistic and so prosperous that they united and formed the Deertield Arts and Crafts Society. It holds an an- nuaI exhibition that uraws visitors from far and near Its officers have now the general oversight and direction of the CO., lonial handcrafts of the village.
 Two Deerfield women thus started the present fad among the wealthy for old fashioned handmade articles. The fad has spread to all parts of the Union. the manufactures to several parts.

Great Chance For AirshIps.
The prize of 100000 offered by the
special committee on aerial naviga ton
at the St. Louis worlds fair has
brought n number of inventors into the
field. and there is no doubt that the
competition will be much greater than
had been supposed. David b. Page OF
Chicago is one who will try for the
prize for successful flying machine.
lie thinks that all experiments hereto
fore made in aerial navigation have
been along the wrong lines and that the
successful flying machine will not be
balloon shaped. but will rely on over
coming gravity by motion as the spin

ton and stands erect.
Another machine, also from Chicago
and constructed by w. G.. Morgan. will
be n competitor The device is equip
ped with wings and is built on norel
principle Instead of being fashioned
after bird the four winged dragon
fly is used as IL model. Twelve wings
or more equally divided on small

framework is made of aluminium. and
the wings will be made OF the same

THE Rock Island Turn Nerein, or
the Turner society, as it is com
monty styled. is one of the best known
and most substantial organizations
in the city. Its origin dates back
To 1857 and during the time that has

happily tided over and since that
time its growth has been steady and
sufficient. though n IT rapid.
