GOLDEN NEEDLES.
They Were Used When Gallants ia
France Did Fancy Work.

France DID Fancy work.
During the old regime in France,
about which so much glamour re-
mains to us, the very men who were
living and making the history Of the
empire of Louis passed their leisure
time in way that seems to Us OF
today utterly ridiculous. In all the
fancy work on which ladies employ
ed themselves the men seem TO have
taken part.
Poinsinet in one of his comedies
represents a young marquis enter
ing a room where two fair damsels
are embroidering. One is working
a piece of dress trimming, the other
Marty founce. The beau examines
the embroidery with the eye of
connoisseur, points out here and
there the specially good touches and
is too polite to notice any defects.
He takes little gold tube out o.
the pocket of his richly decorated
waistcoat and selects dainty gold
needle. He goes to the frame at
which Cidalise is working and fin
ishes the flower which she had be-
gun. From her he moves to the
sofa and, seizing one end Of the
founce, assists Ismene, to whom he
pays special attention, to complete
her task.
At this time it was the custom OF
the ladies invariably to carry their
workbags with them to the evening
receptions, in which they had not
only their embroidery materials, but
the last novel, the popular songs,
their patch boxes and rouge pots.
Gentlemen also carried deftly en-
broidered little bags into company
which held ga whole arsenal OF cut
lery and fancy articles, such as
boxes of different shapes filed with
lozenges, bonbons, snuff and scent
At another period the fashion of
the day was to cut out drawings
from books and pamphlets and to
paste them on screens, lamp shades.
boxes and vases. The skill In this
!. was to so arrange the drawings or
parts of different drawings as to
produce a curious or amusing ef-
, feet. Then there came a season
, when all the rage was for charades
and riddles, which gave a peculiarly
good opportunity to exercise the
light and rapid wit so conspicuous
, In the French. Every evening the
drawing rooms were converted into
impromptu charadcs. Some lady
, would suggest word or phrase, and
: forthwith it would be converted into
the subject of sprightly little play.
Many of the word games now cur
rent with us in America had their
origin in the necessity the French
salons were under in the last GEN.
, tury to divert themselves. In some
of the salons the fashion of keep
. ing daily chronicle of news, which
was too often a mere chronicle OF
, scandal, was adopted. Nine. Dou-
blet de PERSIAN issued bulletins
{ which she called "nouvelles a Ia
| main" In her apartments two reg
: listers were kept, one of the authen-
tic news received here and there by
her guests, the other of floating M
\ mors and on dts, and from these
: the budget of her chronicle was
t made up and circulated throughout

THE OBJECTION TO JOHN.
Il Was Easily Removed When the Sit.
uaton Was Explained.

The Gayiords and Nelson's have
always been neighbors and intimate
friends. So when John Gaylord at
twenty-four, as fine fellow as ever
was, began to see what an altogeth-
er charming girl Molly Nelson was
there was naturally no opposition.
Indeed, as the affair" became Sc
rious it was evident to all, includ-
ing John and Molly themselves,
that the parents concerned were de-
lighted. As yet there was no form
81 announcement, but every one
knew that it was "understood," and
evening after evening John talked
to Molly on the front porch, often
lingering after the other Nelson's
had retired.
The surprise of the two was con
sequently great when one evening 6

and presently NJ. Nelson appeared
in slippers and dressing gown, can
die in hand. Quite evidently he
had gone to bed and then got up
for some purpose.
"Why, father, what is the mat
ter?"
Molly's checks wore burning, as
her father stood there hcsitating
and eying John closely. John, lean
ing against the doorpost, where he
had stood for the last fifteen min
utes saving good night to Molly
felt decidedly uncomfortable under
Mr.. Nelson's gaze.
In fact, it WAS embarrassing al

THE STOCK EXCHANGE.
pGte of the First Agreement Among
New Yor.<'s Brokers.

In the early part of March, 1902
the first notice vas printed of the
opening Of q stock exchange Office
at % Wall street by a. l.. Bleeckel
& Sons, ]. Pintard, McEvers & Bar
clay, Cortlandt & Terriers ard Jay
& Sutton. These several firms held
auctions Of stock each day at noon,
selling in rotation to insure equai
opportunities for each other.
Some Of the broker specialists re-
sented such a restricted organiza-
ton, and on March 21 a meeting
was called of the dissatisfied brokers
for purposes of protection, and a
committee was appointed to pro-
vide suitable room in which to
assemble and to suggest such rules
and regulations for conducting
their business as the committee
deemed necessary. The final result
of this meeting, says Moody's Mag
azine, was the first signed agree
ment among dealers in securities,
the oldest record now in the ar
chives of the New York Stock Ex-
change. The agreement reads as
follows:
owe, the Subscribers, Brokers
for the purchase and Sale of Public
Stock, do hereby solemnly promise
and pledge ourselves to each other,
that we will not buy or sell from
this day, for any person whatsoever,
|any kind of Public Stock at less
rate than one-quarter Per cent com
mission on the specie value, and
that we will give a preference to
leach other in our negotiations. In
Testimony Whereof we have set our
hands this 18th day Of May, at New
York, 1892"
This organization had no local
habitation for conducting exchange
business. Like the curb brokers to-
day, transactions were carried on II

HERE IS A REAL
DYSPEPSIA CURE
Pape's Diapepsin Settles Upset
Stomachs and Ends Indiges-
ton in Five Minutes.

The question as to how long you are
going to continue a sufferer from Indi-
gestion, Dyspepsia or out-of-order
Stomach is merely q matter of how
soon you begin taking some Diapep-
sin.
If your Stomach is lacking in d.
gestive power, why not help the stom-
ach to do its work, not with drastic
drugs, u a reinforcement of diges-
tive agents, such as are naturally ar
work in the stomach.
People with weak Stomachs should
AXE a little Diapepsin occasionally,
and there will be no more Indigestion,
no feeling like a lump of lead In the
stomach, no heartburn, Sour rlsings,
Gas on Stomach or Belching of undi-
gested food, Headaches, Dizziness or
Sick Stomach, and, besides, what you
eat will not ferment and poison your
breath with nauseous doors. All these
symptoms resulting from a sour, out
of-order stomach and dyspepsia are
generally relieved in five minutes
after taking a little Diapepsin.
Go to your druggist and get a 30
cent case Of Pape's Diapepsin now.
and you will always go to the table
with a hearty appetite, and what you
eat will taste good, because your
stomach and intestines will be clean
and fresh, and you will know there
are not going to be any moro bad
nights and miserable days for you.
They freshen you and make you feel
like life is worth living.

At the same time the bituminous
miners and operators hoped to com

miners, was ready to report that 1t had

Meeting.
lcontlnued from FIrst Pase.y

Company was held yesterday. 1t was
then that the first active signs of inn
pending violence made themselves
manifest.
Anthony Rossoni, an organizer of the
Battalion P~roletariat. New York, who
gave a rhetorical red-lag speech sew
eral days ago, appeared and asked to
be allowed to address the speakers.
You will have to guard your words, :
warned Boris Reinstein. organizer of
the 1. w. W. I'VE are opposed to
violence and we don't wish to hear it
urged at one of our meetings"
Rossoni took his place on the plat
form. Soon from a group of thirty OF
forty millhands came cries of "let Ros-
soni talk to us! Down with the mill
ownersi Speech! Rossoni, speech."
For fifteen minutes pandemoniuni
reigned. The meeting nearly ended in
a riot. Mr.. Reinstein's cries of order
and the beating of his gavel were
drowned in the roar of discordant
voices.
A giant demonstration of the thou
sands of strikers now out, and the
thousands more who are expected to
stop work next week. when the entire
textile industry in this vicinity will
probably be brought to a standstill, is
being planned.
The retrial of John Babyak today
came after Judge Costello, in the face
of all legal precedent. decided to with
draw his sentence imposed hastily a
few hours after a riot in the Botany
mills.
