COAL MINING IN INDIA.

mine, yet the genius who worked q

THE MAKING OF LACE.
Reported TO Have Been Taught Va
tives OF Paraguay by Mission-
aries Two Centuries Ago.

United States Consul Ruffin, at
Asunclon, has made report to the
state department in regard to lace
making in Paraguay. THE art of
making lace by hand" he says, re-
ports the Washington Star, lis well
developed in Paraguay. 1t was taught
the natives zoo years ago by the mis-
sionaries, and has been transmitted
from generation to generation, till it
Is now quite general throughout the
republic. Some towns are devoted to
making certain kind Of lace. In
one town of 5000 or 5000 inhabitants
almost all the women and children,
and many of the men, make lace col
larettes. handkerchiefs and ladies'
ties. Another town makes lace en-
broidery, and others drawn-thread
work, such as center pieces, tray
mats, tea cloths, doilies, etc.
The designs used in making the
lace are taken from the curious webs
of the semi-tropical spiders that are
SO numerous. On this account it is
called 'nanduti,' an Indian name
which means spider web. This in
dustry may be of service to American
trade. There is scarcely dealer in
Paraguay who would not purchase
American goods if it were not SO
difficult to get draft on the United
States. This is due to the fact that
Nearly all the exports go to Europe.
''Some of the principal lace makers,
however, have agreed to give the
benefit of all their drafts on the
United States for the facilitation of
trade, il American importers and
dealers in hand made lace and drawn
thread work should take up their
product"

GAMBLED WITH DEATH.

tai I'm the Transvaal During
the War.

Some British soldiers were recently
attacked with fever in the Transvaal
and were removed to a hospital. Aft
er a few days they began to recover,
and, finding time hanging heavy on
their hands, they resolved to gamble
and formed what they called the
Temperature pool"
New patients were arriving daily,
and the physicians took the tempera-
ture of all the invalids every morn
ing. When this was done the tenn
perature was written on a piece of
cardboard, which was fastened at the
head of each bed. 1t was agreed that
each soldier should put a shilling into
the pool every day and that the en-
tire amount should go to the patient
who had the highest temperature on
that day.
1t frequently happened that the pa
tient who received all the money in
the pool died few hours afterward,
the elevation of his temperature indi-
eating that his malady had become
more serious, but this did not pre-
vent the survivors from continuing
TO play their uncanny game until the
very day when they left the hospital.

SELECTING A GOOD COW.

When breeder purchases cows for
foundation stock he will always de-
mand three points, individuality, per-
Torrance and pedigree. Cows with
feshy udders, or small uddcrs, or poor
fOre-udders, or small teats are to be
avoided, as are those also that have
short and heavy bull-like necks. The
model udder reaches we'll forward in
graceful curve and extends high up
behind. Many beginners make the
mistake Of supposing that those ami
mails are Of superior type that are
dainty and delicate, and lacking in
size. AS matter of fact, slender
graceful animals are likely to be de-
ticient in vigor and prove disappoint-
ing.
The performance Of an animal Is
one Of the best gauges Of her value.
The average man cannot afford to buy
world beaters, but he will do well to
pay the additional price which is asked
for superior as compared with inferior
performers. The record of the animal
to large extent fixes the value.

PULLETS OR HENS2

A subscriber asks IL pullets will give
better results as winter layers than
hens.
This depends On the age and condi-
ton Of the pullets. Early Matched,
fully matured pullets that begin to
lay during October will make the best
layers during the winter, while on the
other hand late pullets or poorly con-
ditioned pullets will hardly pay~for
their keeping. Hens not over three
years old, which have been given good
care and have completed their moult.
will begin to lay during October and
continue throughout the winter. We
should not discard good old hens until
after the third year, unless they show
tendency to grow fat and lazy, but
II we were selecting layers we should
choose pullets.-Home and Farm.
