GIRL LACE MAKERS

A traveller in Como writes ut is so
warm today that 1t is almost impossi-
BILE to get about, so my peregrinatlons
were made in a handsom. | went to
Cantu to see the exhibition of furniture,
going thither by way Of Camerlata and
Abbate. At a lace shop which | en-
tered | was received with much cere-
mony by two girls and was shown some
beautiful lace. After making some
purchases from Signora Meroni at very
reasonable prices, went through their
workshops and saw the lacemaking pro-
cess, which interested me very much.
There are some 10000 inhabitants
at Cantu, most of them engaged in the
lace-making industry. The women still
wear the extraordinary Brienza head
gear done up with SO little silver swords
necessitating their sleeping with their
heads over the bedside. At the furni-
ture exhibition many OF the beautiful
things are already sold, most of them
to big Paris dealers. A visit to Pro
fessOr Arnaboldi, the well-known pro
fessor of lace designing, gives me the
opportunity Of making the acquaint-
ance of a very charming man. He tells
me that there are little girls seven and
eight years old who work 10 hours n
day for 60 Of 20 confines at many OF the
lacemaking establishments in the place

from this marvellous civilization, when
ilourished in Central America long be-
fore the coming of Cortez and the dis
cOyCry Of America.
The strange and elaborate headdress
worn by both figures is one of the ex-
traordinary features of the sculpture.
The small square block of carvings on
the side and top are hicroglyphic in
scriptions, denoting the time and date
which the edillce was dedicated, which
has been determined as about 5000 B. c.
The wonderful preservation of these
sculptures Is due to the fact that they
have for centuries been almost COM
pletely buried, whole forests having
grown up on top of them.

BIG NAMES, LITTLE GIFTS.

Several worthy souls in Madagascar
have contributed toward the relief Of
those who suffered through the disaster
at Martinique, and the remarkable fact
about them is that their names are I'M

Hnusully small.
Thus, the principal contributors are
Rainizanamanga Ambatomirahavary
Northumberland and Razafmanapaka,
and the amounts which they have con.

CARRIAGE THAT FOLDS

Latset in the baby-carrlage fashions
is one that can be folded when not in
use. That this is an advantage will
readily be seen, since these little We
hicles, when not in use, occupy good
deal of room.
In the country this does not matter
much, but in crowded cities many fam
lilies have little space at their disposal,
and 1t is sometimes irksome to find n
portion of it occupied by baby car
riage.

POOR MANS CHANCE.

1t is being said in many Eastern
journals and not a few Western ones
that the day of the poor man in min
ing is gone by; that no one but big
corporation can succeed in mining any
more; that it takes big capital to do
anything; that most of the good min
ing propositions are controlled By
trusts or millionaires and that there
is no longer opportunity for a man
with little money. This is all mis-
take. The day Of the poor" mining
man was never brighter nor greater
than right now.
The assertion that most Of the good
mines are owned by trusts or million
aires is heard most often, but there 10
least in that Of any Of the pessimist5e
utterances. One hears of the big mil
liouaire owners more than he does Of
the thousands of substantial com-
panies that go right on with little
notoriety, paying good wages and
monthly yielding dividends.
Finally, 1t may be justly said in an
swer to the assertion that opportunity
no longer exists for the man with q
little money, that never in the worlds
history were there fiuer opportunities
in mining for the man with little
money than in the west half Of Amer

The Cavaliere Emilio Rivela, who
has but recently come over from Italy
to direct Charming Ellery's italian
band. is one of the most distinguished

land. He comes of a noble family
noted for it's blue blood and its artistic
ability, is a graduate of the Royal Con
servatory of Music of Naples and is a
brilliant pianist, as well as bandmas-
ter. Signor Rivela is not yet 80 years
of age, but is ranked among the very
best composers of Italy for both bands
and piano. He was until the time OF
his sailing for America, director OF
one of the greatest municipal bands
in the Italian kingdom. Last year at
the annual national of
bands at Naples. he secured in COM
petition with 146 bands, the kings
trophy, an elegant loving cup. Signor
Rivela is a cavaliere, or knight as we
would say in English, and wears the
cross of Savoy, with which he was
decorated by the late King Humbert,
shortly before that much loved ruler
was ass~assinated.

Tendency of the Times.

The tendency Of medical science is to.
ward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world is being given to
the subject. 1t is easier and better to
prevent than to cure. 1t has been fully
demonstrated that pneumonia, n of
the most dangerous diseases that medi-
cal men have to contend with, can be
prevented by the use of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always re-
suits from a cold or from an attack OF
influenza grip, and it has been OBJ
served that this remedy counteracts any
tendency of these diseases toward pneu-
monia. This has been fully proven in
many thousands of cases in which this
remedy has been used during the great
prevalence of colds and grip in recent
years, and can be relied upon with i'm
plicit confidence. Pneumonia often re-
suits from u slight cold when no danger
is apprehended until it is suddenly dis.
covered that there is fever and difficulty
in breathing and pains in the chest,
then it is announced that the patient
has pneumonia. Be on the safe side
and take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
as soon as the cold is contracted. 1t al
WAYS cures. For sale by all druggists.
