REEVES Lace Making.

The lace making industry of north
ern France is gradually reviving. Be
fore the war the French lace work
ers were conferred in Valenciennes
and Bailleul areas, both of which re-
manned under almost constant shell
fire during the entire war. First the
German. shells wrecked the humble
cottages and the busy mills, then de-
struction was completed when the al
lied cannon harassed the retreating
German troops. Now after four years
of economy the world Is anxious to
see the pretty things which character
lied feminine dress before the tragic
days Of 1914. The lace workers of
Ireland cannot satisfy the demand,
and even If they could the Irish lace
does not appeal to all tastes.

HAD NO QUARREL WITH FOG
American Minister to London, in
Fact, Pointed Out the Beauties of
Its Frequent Visitation.

The old familiar fog was in evidence
In London In November, Sir Henry
Lacy writes in the Christian Science
Monitor. The metropolis has just re-
covered from q visitation lasting over
four days. The only man ever heard
say friendly word for it was Russell
Lowell. The observation was made
years ago at the time when he was still
minister at this court. But II made
such an impression on me that II re-
mains still fresh in my memory.
1t was at the dinner table of Sir
Charles Dixie, then cabinet minister.
l suppose dozen guests had been bid
den, but suddenly, an hour before
dinner time, the fog swooped down on
London like black vulture, shutting
out all light and color and joyous
ness. OF Charles guests only some
five or six CROPPED their way to 76
Sloane street. Among them was the
United States minister, by whose side
1t CHANGED I sat at dinner and who
poured out prose poem in praise OF
the fog and its power of endowing
familiar things-such as lamp posts
and street corners-with mystic beau
ty. / am not sure whether this en-
comium had its origin in the courtesy
of sojourn or in the fancy of poet.
Perhaps it was both. Anyhow, 1t was
amazing to Londoner. To the diplo-
matte mind there is something con-
genial about fog. The other night

the mist at the guests of the council
of the japan society, remarked: IL

THESE HORSES CARRY WEIGHT
jockeys Clad in Armor Compete in
Race in Old Italian City
of Siena.

The most peculiar horse race in the
world is the famous "Palio," which
takes place every summer at the pic
turesque Italian city of Siena.
Magnificent medieval costumes are
worn by all who take part In the pro-
ceedings. Before the actual racing be-
gins the jockeys, clad in glittering ar
NOR, and their horses beautifully sad
died, make a tour of the course, ac-
companied by cavaliers, pages, arch
ers, heralds and others.
The scene of the race is the huge
public square before the communal
palace. Here an oval course is fenced
off for the occasion. and sand spread
over the concrete. The public are adj
mitted free to the center of the square,
and the outer side of the course Is
surrounded by stands and houses for
the use of those who are willing to
pay for seats.
Every district of Siena Is represent
ed by jockey, and has an emblem.
among them being the snail, unicorn,
caterpillar, giraffe and porcupine.
Each contingent in the procession has
a standard showing these emblems,
and the bearers juggle with them as
they march along.
Before the racing each jockey takes
his steed into church in his district,
and both receive blessing.
As soon as the procession is over
the jockeys retire to doff their armor.
When they reappear they resemble our
jockeys, but the horses are without
saddles, barebacked riding being the
rule. Amidst thunderous cheering they
at last get away and race three times
round the square. Every jockey Is
allowed to use his whip freely on the
shoulders Of any of his rivals within
reachi
Directly the winner arrives at the
post he is seized by the crowd, kissed

Unusual State Industry.

State-owned enterprises of one kind
or another are not uncommon, even
In this land of private opportunity, but
few Of them can be classed as in
dustrial, at least in the manufacturing
sense. Distinctly unusual, therefore,
is the new undertaking of the state
of South Dakota-the establishment
and operation of a Portland cement
plant of huge capacity, based on
natural resources of almost limit
less extent, says Popular Mechanics
Magazine. For this development the
sum of $1.000,O00c already has been
appropriated. together with an addi-
tional $4,000 for prospecting ex-
penses, and another appropriation of
100000 is now under consideration
for the installation of machinery.

Robin Redbreast,s Annual Jao.

The robin has been given anything
but a kindly greeting upon his visits
to the South each winter, and there
are perceptibly fewer now than there
were decade ago. due chiefly to the
ravages of market hunters with what
is known locally as 'the So single
barrel" meaning cheap 12-guage
shotgun. with which scores of fat
robin redbreasts may be killed in a
few hours. The robins bad habit Of
getting on a red haw jag when he
arrives in the South makes him easy
prey for small boys with slingshots
or even with sticks, for the enticing
red berries made him so drunk he
isn't able to fly.
