Nervousness Is very common among
women. This condition Is due to anaemic

tiers become bloodless for want OF proper
nutrition. This es especially true In the
warm season. Every summer q host Of

Big Swordfsh.

From the Boston Globe
One of the largest swordfish ever brought
into Boston is on exhibition at FaneuiI
Hall Market. On placard on the fish is
this inscription: weight, S97 pounds;
length. fifteen and one half feet" Like
most of the swordfish that come into the
Boston market, the sword and the tail had
already been cut off by the fishermen who
caught it, in order to better handle it on
the vessel. But the sword had been pre-
served. 1t had a width at the base of near
ly six inches, and It's length was nearly a
yard. The eyeball had diameter of near
ly five inches. equal to a circumference of
more than fifteen inches. The swordfsh
season is at it's height. 1t is only during
the months of June. July. August and the
early part of September that the fish are
taken. and about 80 per cent of all the
swordfsh caught by American fishermen
find their way to the Boston market. where
its flesh Is considered great delicacy.

Under the amended marriage law Of
Michigan which will become effective Sep
TENDER II, the marriage Of cousins Of the
first degree" is prohibited, and it will be-
come the duty of the county clerk to ascer-
tain whether such relationship exists be-
tween the candidates for marriage. The law
which is now amended to include first cous-
ms specifies distinctly what other relation,
in law or consanguinity, are prohibited
from wedding with each other, and to make
positive that no illegal marriage occur
through his fault, the careful county clerk
before issuing a license should inquire:
rs this woman your mother, grand
mother. step-mother, grandfather's wife.
sons wife. grandsons wife, wife's mother,
-wifes grandmother, wife's daughter, wife's
granddaughter, or your sister, brothers
daughter, sisters daughter, fathers sister,
or mothers sister, or cousin of the first
degree?" Reversing the sexes the same
questions apply to the woman. 1t is re-
called that the Rev. Father Ternes of De-
troit one day had room full of lawyers
busy searching the authorities to discover
whether man could marry Ibis widows
NIECE The investigation had proceeded
some time when it suddenly struck one Of
the Learned counsel that wife could
not be a widow until her husbands death,
and the laugh was on the lawyers.

ART OF FINE SEWING.
It is Being Revived Along With Its
Sentiment and Fancy Implements.

From the New York Sun.
Fine sewing is again high in favor. Wo-
men are making not only sheer linen trifies
for the neck, but also entire garments with
no stitch of sewing machine work in them
Girls make for their friends birthday gifts
of articles of apparel-night dresses, aprons,
corset covers, petticoats, scanned, felled,
hemmed and decorated by hand, with
dainty lace or muslin ruff1ing whipped on
with almost invisible stretches.
The materials used are the SOFT fine fab
RIGS that never yield the best results when
put together on the sewing machine. Ma
chine work, no matter how well executed,
will always have a certain witness and
stiffness because o., the double thread in
the seam. The handmade garment is far
more plant and gratifying. Handmade
outfits are to be got in the shops, but at
considerable cost and without the indvid-
uality that home making confers; so the
home sewer bestirs in her own behalf.
1t requires pains and precision to do plain
sewing WELL to Set stitches of the same di-
mansions at even distances that the
work shall have a smoothly regular look.
The old school methods of training taught
sewing pupils to take up just so many
threads to the needle in hefnming and
scanning; to stroke gathers so that they
stood like well-drilled soldiers in line, and
to fell seams in such narrow fine lines that
it would take a microscope to detect a
flaw or DETECTION from the regular
Possibly the twentieth century girls will
find it easy task to produce such eX-
quisite specimens of handwork as are pre-
served in grandmothers dowries. But the
ball k|s been set going, and the results are
promising.
A girl with fair hands and dainty wrists
never appears to better advantage than
when plying her needle in some soft white
fabric that suggests thrift and usefulness.
Indeed, when so occupied the admirer has
a good chance for studying her and for
inventing means to make her look up and
bestow attention elsewhere than on her
work There is a sentiment interviewer
with dainty needlework that has not yet
become associated with golf or ping-pong,
and girls are reviving the gentler craft
along with their adoption of shoulder tip
pets and antique ornaments.
The number of fancy sewing stands en-
the market points to the revival of needle
work interest. OF gilded rope. of line
wood, of nickel and of Powered enamel
work. they present wide range of choice.
There are also ingeniously made hampers
and sewing cosies planned so as to roll up
and be snuggled out of the way when de-
sired.
