Their price consequently doesn't exactly bring them within the reach ot all, but they promise to largely take the placoof silk nnd illusion. Tho iKrative earns from f H to (10 a week in tho simile department. Lace paper for lining tho edges of boxes really forms tho tnmrtnut part of this industry. Look at it bit of this dainty paper nnd see how faithfully it reproduces every thread of the luce from which it is copied. When people are told that theso dcltcuto patterns ure stamped from engraved metal plates, they are apt to look incredulous. Still that is the process. For many years Germany has con trolled this industry. The consul ut Berlin in his last annual report states tbnt 7.01)0,000 pounds of laco paper are extorted nnuiuilly to tho United Htates. Due flno day good fortune befell the industry. A man came in nnd asked for employment lie wns a designer and engraver of plates from Germany. lie declined to give any information us to how he knew the factory was in Minne apolis or why he enmo. lie simply said thoy could try bin work, mid if they were autitslicd he would stay. Ho has re mained ever since. I saw him several times mid didn't wonder that there wiw tome hesitancy about engaging him. Ho weighs about 325 pounds. Tho fuco is intelligent and refined, but the bubhy beard and long hair, combined with the muscular frame, give the uwin the ap pearance of ouo used to vigorous manual labor. Apjieiirancei aro deceptive in this case, for lie is an artist us well as an en graver, nnd knows evory dotuil of the business. He tint sketches tho design on paper, then takes a block of lead composition, . similar to that used for newspaper cuts, and draws the exact pattern with a sharp steel point. Then, with finely graded chinels, be hanuuers out every little de tail so exact that the tiniest thrr-nd of the finest lace pattern is visible, i To see the workman hammering out an intricate pattern one would think it an endless task. It is not, however, nearly so tedious as it looks. This en graver will make a plate 20 Inches long by 8 inches wido in four days. All the edges of the pattern have to be made in sharp relief instead of being cut into the Cte, as in ordinary engraving. This to be done so that the sharp edges will perforate the paper when the cylin der passes over the plate. Lace paper has its styles just the same as the real article. The young lady who gets her daily bos of boubous from the confectioner wants the lace edged holdor to be in the latest mode. She can also elect torchon, raleucienues, Spanish, guipure, breton or any other style in the puper just as she can in the thread. Among the pretty Imported notions is that of a cornucopia with a deep lace edge and closed with dainty bows of satin ribbons. This U to bold matinee or theater allowance of cundjr and will probably be very popular. Eva Mo-Donald- Valesh in Minneapolis Tribune.

Her husband's parishioners worn cog nizant of her expressed desire that, that part of tho day lying between II and 1 o'clock should hoilcvotcil to her pupils, nnd, to the credit nf those who did not nspire to the honor of such intimacy at the rectory as might warrant reversal of household arrangements, it may be staled that her eccentricity in this regard was generally respected. The wealthiest vrMiyinim'H wife, by virtue of her peculiar attachment to the Industrious liiaiM imillii r. spurned rcgn la''oiisuot of hi r own miiliin;; nnd de clared her indi pi iidenco by word mid deed.

Though he must some times havo been hauiiered by his Iiiimi ble origin, he never failed to maintain the dignity of his official position. IPs special knowledge of commerce, hU readiness, his humor, his fluency in French, his familiarity with Horace (u useful accomplishment in tho Augustan age) and even "co visage de bois,"us llol ingbroke called it, must often havo Ihiuii of Borvico to him. Hut Trior's life when he hud tho honor of representing Queen Anne at the French court was not happy His letters during that period show that he wns uneasy about tho prospects of bis party and felt his own position to bo in secure. In those days, moreover, the British government was not a good paymaster; generals had sometimes to find money from their own pockets to pay their sol diers, mid embassadors' salaries were often in nrrear. When tho crash came Trior found himself in an unfortunate plight. Ho was looked coldly on both by tho now administration nnd by his own party. It was stated that he "hail made revelations, and it was even supposed that his indiscretion was tho cause of Bnlingbroke's ill judged flight. For this malicious report there is, so far us we know, no trustworthy foundation. Lon don Athenaeum. On I'onu ef City Clmi-ity. A grocer complains bitterly because wealthy patrons of his establishment send trumps and paupers there with notes saying, "Mr. B , give this man u pound of crackers nnd a box of sardines," or "the bearer would like four bundles of kindling and a pound of coffee." The applicants get the stuff becnuse the grocer wants to retain the custom of those who send them and who have not the slightest intention of paying for goods thus given away. "It's pretty cheap charity for these, rich people to en gage in," says he, "but my experience is that it hurts a rich man worse to give np a dollar than it does a poor mnn." New York Sun.

In a letter written after Arnold's return to Engluud he says: "I ehnro thy indignation at the way our people havo spoken of him, one of the foremost men of our time, a trtio poet, a wise critic nnd a brave, upright man. to whom all English speaking people owe a debt of gratitude.
