SHANTUNG ~LACE-MAkERS.
Work Of Chinese Girls Superintendent
by Missionaries.

Transmitting samples of silk and
thread lace, pongee silks and an illus
trated catalogue of laces, silks and
drawn-work from the agents of the
Chefoo Industrial Mission, Vice-Con-
sui Ernest Vollmer of Tsingtau, re-
ports thereon as follows:
With a view of furnishing home
work to a large number of native con-
verts, missionaries in Shantung years
ago taught converts lace-making. The
industry is carried on more or less
throughout the silk districts of Shan
tung, the center probably being in the
Chefoo district. Under careful foreign
supervision these products have gained
a very high standard of quality, and
are comparatively cheap. A large va
riety of laces, collarettes, ties, man
tillas, doilies and drawn-work are pre-
pared, mainly by Chinese girls, and
sold through the mission stations.
Aside from the handmade products
enumerated, thread laces are also
made, and a trade carried on in plain,
patterned and dyed pongees in pieces.
Retail sales are made to all parts of
the world. An export duty of five per
cent. ad valorem is collected on all
goods leaving China.

SIMPLE STYLE is POPULAR.
all Trimming Eliminated from the
Long, CIineing Skirt.

Among the pretty, simple gowns
now worn, but none the less high
priced on that account, is this youth
full genre-varied in many ways by the
changing of cOlors and fabrics. 1t con
sists of a long clinging skirt of any of
the lovely crepes, liberty satins or the
silks as sheer as mousselines. If there
is any bottom trimming to the skirt,
it is more in the way of a fiat finish
and nothing else. A s~hort-waisted
bodice, half-low, with a V-shaped
opening, back and front, has the
sleeves in one piece, so that there is
no fulness at all over the shoulder and
top of the arm-only a slight drapery
under the arm. The bodice material
chosen is always a figured net, lace
or mousseline, so that the lace or net
of the high waist and long mitten
sleeves is worn under this bodice in
order to produce its true effect. There
is a very high fitted sash silk drapery,
with foundation we'll boned, from hip
to under bust line, and having a knot
or rosette for heading to both sash
ends, with fringe for their bottom fin
ish, while the sash ends drop down On
the left side. A ribbon run through
the hair across the front is the only
couture needed. A necklace the only
bit of iewelry worm. Therein lies the
whole chic, while the toilets charm is
that all trimming has been eliminated,
the long, graceful figure lies more ac-
cented. The hair is we'll dressed, but
free from all fussiness.

DOG SAVES MATE IN WELL.
Carries Food for Nearly a Month to
Imprisoned Canine.

Seattle, Wash.-Thomas Jones, who
owns a big ranch on San Juan island,
lost a collie dog nearly a month ago
and for several days searched the
woods about his place Z%ealously for
the animal without success. Last week
he killed a sheep and tossed a bone to
another collie. Instead of gnawing
it, the dog picked it up and started for
the woods. He kept turning his head, ap-
parently to see if he Vas followed,
and Jones concluded to follow him.
The dog trotted along for a mile and
stopped at the edge of an abandoned
well. He dropped the bone yer the
edge of the well. Jones got a ladder,
climbed down, and found his dog that
had been lost. There was only about
two inches of water in the well, but
the animal would have starved to
death had it not been for the other.
The lost dog was in good condition
and as it had been missing "a days the
other animal must have keep it sup.
piled with food for nearly a month.

Mules Battle Thieves.

York, PA dinner bell, rung lus-
tily by Mrs. c. H. Mitzel, acted as a
very efficient burglar alarm when
thieves attempted to steal a pair of
valuable mules from the barn on her
husbands farm at Arbor, this county.
A mistake the thieves made was
their failure to gag the long cared
animals. Mrs. Mitzel was alone with
her children when she heard the mules
braying loudly, and suspected at once
that something was wrong.
Grabbing the rope attached to the
dinner bell on the peak of the roof,
she pulled it until her husband and
neighbors came running in.
They found the mules standing in
the road where they had been desert
ed by the thieves, who were fright
ened off by the alarm.

| me back and forth through that 40
foot gun to swab it out, and when
| came out alive they laughed and
feet and let me off a plank over the
side to practice on a burial at sea, but
/ yelled for help and a cross looking
man came along and pardoned me, and
told the fellows to take me to his
cabin and wash the powder off my
face, and hold me until he could have
a talk with me. When they had
secured me with a piece of brick and
some yellow laundry soap, the man
came into the cabin, and the boys
who had hazed me said he was Admir-
al Evans, and | remembered him cause
once when he was in the light house
service he entertained pa and me on
his light house tender, and held me on
his lap at the New Orleans Mardi
Gras, and | said: Hello, Mr.. Evans,
don't you remember little Hennery?
| am Peck's Bad Boy" and he remem-
bered me, and said: "What'n'ell you
doing here?" and l told him l knew
what he was up against, going around
the horn, and to San Francisco and
Japan and the Philippines, and that l
wanted to go along on his ship as a
mascot, or a waiter or anything, and
he said he didn't know, but l would
be a good mascot, as last trip they
had a goat and a monkey for mas
cots, and | had a combination of both,
and if he was going to make a trip
to hades, or any climate hotter than
the straits of Magellan, he thought l
would be all right.
He asked me what | could do and
| told him there vas nothing that l
couldn't do if properly encouraged,
anything, from flying a flag of truce
from the fighting top, to riding up in
the ammunition elevator with 500
pounds of dynamite, to acting as the
propeller to a Whitehead torpedo.
We talked it over for an hour and
he asked about Pa, and then he said
he would think it over, and he gave
me a ticket with a number on, and
told me to be on the front porch
of the Hotel Chamberlain at nine
O'Clock the second morning after, and
if a steam launch from the Connect
cut landed there and gave two whis-
ties, for me to get on board with my
baggage, and report to him before the
fleet sailed.
Well, say, this was quick work, and
l called a launch and visited the other
vessels, promising to be Johnny on the
spot at the appointed hour.

To Line the New Gown.

The fashions of the season must not
be passed over without some men
ton of the Innings used in the gowns.
Taffeta has held its place alone as a
lining silk, but now for some dresses
it must give way to a softer material.
Satin evening wraps are lined with
satin, the ideal lining material, for it
clings to the figure and in no way in
terferes with the grace of the dress.
A house gown of satin or crepe de
chine may be lined to perfection with
white habutai or china silk. Evening
gowns are frequently lined with a soft
crepe de chine.
AS a rule, a gown built upon the
lining and sewn to it has a far more
clinging effect that if made separately
and worn e. a lining slip. If a petit
coat is worn under thegown it may be
of crepe de chine or stockinet in
white.

bridge with building paper, and launch
it for a trip across the ocean; and yet
all the officers and men seemed to
enjoy it, and forget about the danger,
for they laughed and played jokes, and
put on airs, and mashed the girls
who came on board as though they
had made up their minds that it was
only a matter of time when the ships
would sink, and they seemed to con-
graduate themselves that when they
went down with the ships a time lock
would close them up Theoretically so
sharks and devil fish couldn't eat the
crew, and they could float around for
all time and eternity safe from the
resurrection as they would be buried
In a safety deposit box in the vault
of a trust company.
Some of the jacks played it on me.
They took me and wrapped IN n
CORA goat skin around me, with the
hair outside, and tied a string to my
feet, and run it out of the breach of
the big 16 inch gun and another
string on my legs, and they pulled
