WHERE MESH BAGS ARE MADE
A Lon Established Industry # the
BaIearIc lsIands-Women o
Work.

Baroelona.-The manufacture OF sill
yer and gold mesh bags and purses
is long established industry peculiar
to the Balearic islands, and is GEN.
tered in the islands Of Majorca and
Minorca.
Up to few years ago the industry
was confined to small establishments
in the country towns, where women
were engaged in weaving the mesh at
wages ranging from eighteen to TWEEN
ty-seven cents day, according to the
quantity of mesh made. Keen COM
petition, however, has led to the erec-
ton of factories, and the industry has
been considerably benefited. Former
ly the gold and silver wire, as well
as the mountings, were mostly import
ed from France, but at present the
entire process of manufacture is car
ried on in the islands.
There are twelve factories of note
in the islands of Maiorco and Minorca,
which not only supply nearly the home
demand but also export articles to
France and other European countries
and to some extent to America, Africa
and Asia The annual value of the
output is officially estimated at $780,
900. The output consists of over 200
different styles, silver bags and purses
selling at SO cents to $50, and the gold
articles at SO to II cents a gram.
Owing to the prosperous state Of the
industry the manufacture Of related
articles, such as chains, ETC., has been
attempted

family, who are scattered through
New Mexico, Utah, Colorado and Ne
vada. They hunt and fish, but will
not engage in agriculture. 1t was,
however, their rudimentary sense of
the beautiful which prompted the
Utes when they sold their lands to
the United Stats to retain their large
reservation in the southwest corner
of Colorado. For by this transac-
ton they still are in close proximity
to their worshipping place, which the
Great Father built for his red-skinned
children.

A BOON TO WEAK sToMAcHs.
BY Martha MccuIIoch Williams.


When the Risleys were invited to a
paper-bagged dinner, they came pre-
pared to scotland openly. Charming
people both, but bit difficult. Espe-
cially the husband. The root of his
difficulties 1 had long since set down
as a stomach maladroit, in doing it's
whole duty. The stomach's owner
took on fat too readily, but did not
gain strength proportionately to his
thriving.
Therefore l permitted them to be
in at the death-the death of several
paper bags, the resurrection Of their
contents. When the broiler came
forth bearing a biggish bag, black
brown at the corners, and ready to
crack at touch, they stood smiling,
but critical, waiting to see what
would do with it. Catching the bag
either side the cut, lifted it gently
1T came apart along all the seams, re-
vealing chicken, roasted to the most
delicate brown all over. But when
the carving knife went in there came
out the finest faous juice, and in
such quantity it was possible to add
"dish-gravy" to the plates as well as
that in the boat.
II never tasted real chicken be-
FORE" young Risley said, as he took
a second helping. His wife gave him
an anxious look. "Be careful, DEAR"
she urged. "You know, you've been
on the verge of a bad spell all week"
His answer was to take another sweet
potato, and help himself to succo-
tash-both had been cooked in bags.
Salad he disdained upon hearing that
there was in wait a damson roly
poly-by help of which he rounded
out noble meal. His wife also ate
heartily to my great JOY. But saw
apprehension in her eye, until the
very last
Early next morning she called me.
"Jack slept like baby and says he
has OF felt so we'll in ages" she said.
"Where can l get some paper bags?"
M. Soyer states positively that pa
per bag cookery is fine for contrary
stomachs. My experience backs him
up in this statement.
The succotash which made for my
friends, the Risleys, was prepared in
this manner.
Succotash.-Boil one pint shelled
lima beans in slightly sailed water
half an hour, drain and put while hot
into we'll buttered bag. Add green
corn cut from the cob-four to six
ears according to size, butter the size
of an egg, half a tumbler of rich milk,
a very little salt, dust Of pepper,
and a teaspoonful of sugar. Seal bag,
lay on broiler, and cook fifteen min
utes. The beans are parboiled thus
to avoid overlooking the corn, which
requires much less time.
Plum Roly PoIy.-Damsons are my
favorites for this, but any ripe, sound
plums will do. Wash and stew them,
pick out the seed, and If very juicy,
drain away more than half the juice.
Sweeten lightly-no splicing is needed.
Make puff paste, roll it out in long
strips a quarter inch thick, sprinkle
sugar on the upper side, then spread
thinly with the stewed fruit, roll up
and pinch the ends tight. Roll in a
little lump of extra butter. Cook
thirty minutes in hot oven-forty If
the roly is quite big Serve hot with
sauce made from the extra juice,
along with butter and sugar, cooked
together over boiling water.

rractIcaI Joke Lauseo uearn.

A Wealthy resident Of NeWburgh, n.
Y, died as the result Of a pleasantly
perpetrated by a frolicsome friend.
This friend, holding a lighted cigar
near the victims face, suddenly asked
him to turn around, and as this was
done the cigar lightly touched the vic
TINS cheek. Both gentlemen enjoyed
hugely the merry jest. In a few
months, however, a cancerous growth
appeared on the spot where the flesh
had been burned and, growing rapidly,
caused the mans death.

THE NOTHINGNESS OF
DEATH.


Death, therefore, to us is moth
ing, concerns us not a jOt, since
the nature of the mind is proved
to be mortal. And. as in time
gone by we felt distress when
the POini from all sides came
together to do battle and all
things shaken by wars troublous
uproar shuddered and quaked be-
meath high heaven and mortal
men were in doubt which of the
two peoples it should be to whose
empire all must fall by sea and
land alike, thus, when we shall
be no more, when there shall
have been a separation of body
and soul, out of both of which
we are each formed into a single
being, to us, you may be sure,
who then shall be no more, moth
ing whatever can happen to ex-
cite sensation, not if earth shall
be mingled with the sea and sea
with heaven. And, even suppOS-
ing the nature of the mind and
power of the soul DO feel after
they have been severed from our
body, yet that is nothing to US,
who by the binding tie of mar
riage between body and soul are
formed each into one single be-
ing. And, if time should gather
up our matter after our death
and put it once more into the po-
sition in which it now is and the
light of life be given us again,
this result even would concern
us not at all when the chain of
our self consciousness has once
been snapped asunder.-Titus
LucretiuS Carus.

The NOVELIST.

The novelist not only works on
more various elements; he ap-
peals to more ordinary minds
than the poet. This is indeed the
strongest practical proof of his
essential inferiority as an artist.
All who are capable of an inter
est in incidents in life which do
not affect themselves may feel
the same interest more keenly
in a novel, but to those who can
lift the curtain does a poem
speak intelligently. 1t is the
twofOld characteristic of univer-
sal inteEigibility and indiscrimi-
nate adoption of materials that
gives the novel its place as the
great reformeF and leveler of our
time.-ThOmas Green Hill.
