NEARLY ALL
 LACE IMPORTED
Ninety Per Cent of the Fifty Million Dollars Worth of Laces Used in This Country Last Year Came From Abroad. Chiefly From Switzerland.

Washington, April 17.-An astonish- ing statement is made officially by thu bureau of manufacturers of the De- partment of Commerce and Labor. II is that the S50,000, ,000 worth Of laces used in this country last year, 90 per cent of them were imported, q greater amount of them coming from Switzer- land than from any other country.

 It is notable and interesting that s42,O00000 worth of cotton faces and embroideries were imported in 10 this country last year, nearly 40 per cent of which came from Switzerland. Why all this vast amount of cotton manu lecturers should come from SwitZer- land, an interior country of Europe, which has to come to America Or go to some other country for its cotton, was a puzzling problem to American experts.

School Gardens Create Taste.

The educational value of the school garden cannot be overestimated What we want to do is to teach the children taste-get taste into the child. get taste into the household and then finally taste into the communlty-and when we b9r" done this we need not fear the result, says the Los Angeles Times The lack Of taste in the community generally is an unfortunate fact, notwithstandinc our grand school system, and may le attributed in large degree to the failure to appreciate its necessity by our educators. It Is particularly pleas Ing to those most deeply interested to note how universal is becoming tle demand for school gardens Reform iu many branches of public improvemtn, would be far easier of accomplIshmc:i: now had the children of the previo. generation been trained Tn the funA:t mental principles of taste, the powr, of perccivns, appreciatlng and disco erinG beauty and excellence The nao.u we consider the curriculum of our pl!, lie schools, the more we perceive ho~ 1t could be improved to meet the chang Ing conditions of our American Ift Our children need far more than ,h, three R's to fit them for citizenship q.

WEDDING CUSTOMS
 OF MANY LANDS

The little customs that have come to be a part of the marriage ceremony have had diverse and interesting Ori- gins. The ring has played an impoH- tant part.
 With the coming of Christianity it as no longer placed on the right fore finger, but on the left third finger. The priest, or in some cases the groom, first put it on the thumb, saying, Tn the name of the Father;" on the fore finger, adding, "Tn the name of the Son." on the second finger, contlnu- ing. In the name of the Holy Ghost; then on the thrid finger wit h''Amen, and there it remained.
 The bridal veil, says the Delineator, originated in the Bible times and was worn until all the public ceremonies were over, so it can readily be under stood how Jacob was deceived lntd marrying Leah instead of her sister Rachel. In the Anglo-SaXon wedding ceremony a square piece of yelling Was held over the head of the bride to com ceal her embarrassment.
 In the late Bible days, during the period between the betrothal and the wedding the bride remained with her friends and could communicate with her affianced only through the friend of the bridegroom" as mentioned in John iii %. who also performed other services for the groom.
 Throwing shoes originated in the old Jewish custom of handing 10 the purchaser of land an old shoe as a token of surrender or remuneration (see Ruth iv 7). The brides father gave a shoe to the husband or threw it after him to signify they surrender to him all authority over their dan2h- ter

the fact that SS GOO 900 worth of silk faces, embroideries and ribbons were imported into America, a cOnsidefa- b1e percentage of which also came from Switzerland. The total amount of the imports from Switzerland last year was about S29,000,O00, while American exports to that country az gregated less than $620 .O00.s Inquiry developed the fact that last year Switzerland exported cotton manufac- turers to the aggregate amount of S4o,- O00. 900, while the United States, which produces immense amounts of raw cot ton, exported only about $26,OOO,OOo worth. The figures indicate that Amer ica is not keeping step with the world in the manufacture of cotton. More than that, it is losing ground, as the exports of cotton manufactures from the United States last year were Sl6,- 000,0O0 less than they Were the pre- vious year.
 It was discovered by agents of the r. American government that the aver ! age value of raw cotton imported into 1 Switzerland last year was II cents and fraction per pound. The aver Iaee value of the exports of cotton manufactures from Switzerland, prin- $1.15 per pound. The actual value of faces and embroideries exported from Switzerland was $2.07 per pound Agents of the United States express the opinion that the manufacture ot all these articles could be done in this country at a good profit.
 The statistics collected by the Amer ican agents show that while Switzer- Hand has in operation about 6,000 pow CT machines and 16,000 hand machines for the manufacture of cotton embroid- cries and laces, America has only something less than a thousand, and all of these machines have 10 be i'm ported into this country.
 It is a notable fact that moro oi
 the largest factories in Switzerland are owned and controlled by Ameri- cans, who have located their plants iI
 that country because their ability tt get the work done al lower wages than have to be paid in the United
 States In Switzerland stitchers re
 ceiye from s10 to SIP week; in the
 United States from SIS to 500 Other
 employees receive proportiOnately low
 wages in Switzerland than in this
 country So. too, it is in France, from
 which American imports and an i'm mense amount of laces and embroid-
 cries. In Belgium and in India the
 wages are very low-lower even than in Switzerland. In such circum-
 stances it seems impossible that thf
 United States ever should come into direct competition with those cOun-
 tries in this work. notwithstanding its advantages as producer of the raw material.
