Human Life Expended
to Produce Fine Lace
Almost every country in Europe
knows something of the delicate art
of lace making. Egypt also knew It,
and other peoples of the Orient.
Italy was probably the first to make
the almost priceless needle-point.
from flax thread so carefully spun
that an ounce is worth $2,000. Of
the same thread, though less fine in
texture, was made the beautiful
Valenciennes lace so greatly prized by
Marie Antoinette and her highborn
milkmaids. The finest needle point
is done with a thread of cobweb
thinness, the pattern drawn on parch-
ment. Finest haces are still made in
damp underground rooms, to preserve
the thread, only one ray of light be-
ing admitted, to fall directly upon the
work. Among the church treasures
of France and Italy are beautifus al
tar cloths and other laces, which the
visitor is often told are the work of
nuns and devoted women who plied
their needle in dark and dampness
underground until they became blind
or died of consumption or some Kin
dred disease,
Irish crochet is made under more
cheerful circumstances, by peasants
sitting at their cottage doors. The
work is done with very fine hooks
and hard-twisted cotton thread over
a design drawn on cambric, the fig-
ures basted on and crocheted round.
Odd Duties Assigned
to Royal Attendants
Jeefeaters” have been a fixed in-
stitution at St. James’ palace since
the reign of Henry VIL. According to
king’s regulations they must have
beards on state occasions. At certain
intervals they have to report tothe
palace adjutant for beard inspection.
In the Middle ages. Beefeaters used
to protect and attend the sovereign,
and it was their duty to taste and cook
all food served to him. They also had
to make the king's bed. The “Yoemen
Bedhangers” stuffed the mattress and
arranged the curtains, while the “Yoe-
men Bedgoers” rolled on the bed to
see that it was well made. The let-
ters Y. B. H. and Y, B. G. are still
affixed to certain names on the roll.
Since their institution the costume of
the Beefeaters has varied very little,
and the large ruff round the neck still
forms a very important part of it.—
Montreal Family Herald.
Holmes Pine Protected
The purchase of an estate with a
proviso that a certain pine tree upon
it must not be cut down or removed
has been recorded at Pittsfield.
The estate, once famous as the
summer home of Oliver Wendell
Holmes, is known as Holmesdale.
One of the restrictions in the deed is
the following pertaining to an his-
toric old pine in Canoe Meadows:

Subject to the restriction which
the grantee agrees for himself, his
heirs, executors. administrators and
assigns to observe to wit:
“That the tree known as the
Holmes pine, standing by itself in
the meadows to the south of the
homestead, should be allowed to
stand as long as the course of na-
ture permits, and that it shall never
be cut down or moved while it re-
mains in a live and healthy condi-
tion.”—Boston Post.
Sounded Inhospitable
In 18C0, William H. Seward vis-
ited Minnesota in company with
Charles Francis Adams and Senator
James W. Nye. The citizens of St
Anthony, wishing to receive the dis-
tinguished statesman in a becoming
manner, appcinted a committee to
meet the guests and escort them into
town, After waiting some time, the
committee learned that the party had
reached town by another route, and
returning to the hotel, were intro-
duced to Mr. Seward. The spokes-
man, a lawyer of the place, after a
few brief remarks, said: “Mr. Seward,
we are very sorry, indeed, that we
did not have the opportunity of es-
corting you into town, but we beg
to assure you that we shall take
great pleasure in escorting you out
of it,”—Detroit News.
All in Italy
Here is history in stone and can
vas, here are meccas of the soul like
Rome or Assisi, which Dante called
“the garden of the Peninsula,” and
Renan “the Galilee of Italy.” Here
for the literary saunterer is the road
to Arque, with its vineclad hillsides,
that Petrarch, lover of Laura, so en-
joyed; here you may ride with Byron
along fhe banks of the Brenta or on
the hillsides of Este and enjoy with
“Childe Harold” the “fairest garden
of the world.” Here is Michaelan-
gelo and Raphael, and Collini and the
birthstones of the great Renaissance.
If you want all of Europe in one
country, take ‘“an Italian journey.”—
Exchange.
Easily Settled
The senior partner arrived to see
the outer office occupied by seven
men, each of whom wished him a very
good morning.
“What's all that crowd doing out
there?” he asked his junior in the
private office a few secands later.
“Well, you know we wanted an ef
ficient and capable clerk? 1 adver
tised, and there they are.”
“H’m,” murmured the other, “How
do you intend to pick your man out
my boy?”
“Oh, easy. 1 imagine the brightest
of that gang’ll find some way of get
ting rid of tise other six.”

Prepare Cows Well
Cows to freshen later in the
winter should be well fed now es-
pecially if at all thin in flesh. Give
full rations of hay and silage and
feed liberally | of grain. A good
grain mixture is 100 pounds ground
corn, 100 pounds ground oats, 100
pounds bran, 756 pounds linseed oil
meal. About a week before freshen-
ing leave out the corn meal and re-
duce somewhat the amount of grain
feed. ; ;

The report of the Union National
Bank treasurer was as follows. Bal-
ance in the Boro account, $4,503.63;
Water account, $566.47; Interest
account $40.00.
Chairman Murphy called Chief
Pennell, of the Fire Company before
Council and inquired about the fire
alarm on Christmas Day. Mr. Mur-
phy stated that it was voiced about
town that there was no fire that day,
that the alarm was false and that
the equipment was taken down town
so fast that it couldnt make the
turn at Main and Barbara streets.
Mr. Pennell replied that there was
no fire Christmas and that the
brakes on the engine didn’t hold
which accounts for being unable to
make the turn in question.
Mr. Miller recommended turning
over a check of about $91.00 re-
ceived from foreign fire insurance,
to the Fire Company to be used for
the purpose for which it is intended.
So ordered.
$1,000 was then transferred from
the Borough to the Water account.
Mr. Miller, chairman of the Or-
dinance committee, reported the

lates the cost of digging up our
streets and alleys
Gas Co. Both ordinances were or-
dered to be put into the proper

WAS BURIED IN GRAVE
HE DUG FOR HIMSELF
Less than twenty years ago, Cy-
rus Stauffer, of Columbia, was en-
gaged as caretaker of the Mount-
ville cemetery. Before quitting his
post he dug two graves and covered
them with a slab. When he had a-
bout completed walling up the
graves, he was asked for whom they
were. “This one is for myself, the
other for my wife,” he replied. “We
will need them some day, and may-
be soon, there is no telling. Life is
so uncertain.”
Two years ago, his wife died, and
was buried in one of the graves. On
Thursday, Stauffer, who had reached
eighty-three years, was buried in the
grave that he had dug for himself.

Records Tell Dairy Story
Keeping milk production records
of dairy cows is important. In no
other way can the dairyman tell
which cows are best and just how
good or poor each one is. If weigh-
ing the milking each time is too
much work, then the night and
morning milk can be weighed one
day a month and multiplied by the
number of days in the month,
Keep the records in a book and at
the end of the year you will have
some very valuable information of
your herd.
eet ree
Dairy cows, for best milk pro-
duction, must have a sufficient sup-
ply of available lime in their feed,
sa® dairy specialists of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture. The
best way to furnish lime is by feed-
ing a legume hay. Properly cured
legume hays are much richer in lime
than non-legume hays. Alfalfa, for
example, produces about 15 times as
much lime per acre as does timothy.
High-producing cows receiving a
ration deficient in lime are forced
to draw the needed supply from
their bodies, \

What Use Are Clocks
That Strike at Night?
To all those who are victims of in-
somnia, the distress caused by the
striking and chiming of clocks (and
especially those which occur every
quarter of an hour) is well-nigh un-
bearable and is calculated to postpone
indefinitely the chance of recovery, a
writer in the Kansas City Star asserts.
The vicar of a large church known to
me, which has a loud chiming clock.
the chimes occurring every quarter of
an hour, has been recently obliged, in
deference to the strongly expressed
wishes of those having the misfortune
to live in the vicinity, to have the
chimes entirely taken off during the
night hours. What is the use, or the
supposed use, of a striking “clock at
night? 1 fail to see one single use
for it. [It ought to be as obsolete as
the old watchman of bygone days,
| whose duty it was to call out each
hour and the state of the weather.
Those clocks having mechanism con-
trolling the striking movements which
is not capable of being switched off
for the night hours should have their

Old Thatched House
Great Writer's Home
In Grovelane, Camberwell, is a 300-
year-old cottage that is reputed to be
the only thatched dwelling house re-
maining Intact within the metropoli-
tap area of London.
In the seventies of the last century
it was the home of William Black.
Here he wrote “Madcap Violet,” and
here he was visited by George Gissing,
who was so delighted with the locality
that he afterwards made Grovelane
the residence of Nancy Lord in his
novel, “In the Year of Jubilee.”
At this period entomologists came
there in search of stray specimens of
the “Camberwell Beauty,” now
amongst the rarest of British batter
flies, but which once bred so alto-
gether too plentifully hereabouts that
the local authorities were wont to pay
sixpence a bushel for the dead cater-
pillars.

Indispensable Machete
The machete, South America’s na-
tive tool-of-all-work, now is made
chiefly in the United States, says a
Commerce department report.
The machete is described as a heavy
knife, which originated in the tropics
and is used In the Interior of South
America for every imaginable service.
| The superiority of the American-made
|
|

machete is established firmly in Bra-
zil, says the report.
These tdols, it declares, are used
for opening paths through the jungle,
building houses, hunting, fishing, pre-
paring food, and a hundred miscella
neous purposes.

Unworldly Grace
Guilelessness is the grace for sus-
plcious people. And the possession
of it is the great secret of personal
influence. You will find, if you think
for a moment, that the people who
| influence you are people who believe
in you. In an atmosphere of sus-
picion men shrivel up; but in that at-
mosphere they expand, and find en-
| courugement and educative fellow
{ ship. . This is the great unworld
| liness.—Henry Drummond, in “The
Greatest Thing in the World.”

Too Much for Jean
Jean, who is just four years old, had
acquired the habit of hiding when she
would h.. - anyone coming. Her aunt,
coming in from the outside, saw her
run and hide, and so when she came
inside the room, said to her cousin:
“Well, Frances, let's you and 1 eat this
ice cream right away before anyone

From the jungles
peninsula comes the tale of a fish
which emerged from a hole in the
ground, hopped, skipped and jumped
to a near-by tree, climbed it and
winked its eye at an onlooker. It
then climbed down, strolled over to
a pool of water, dipped out water with’
its fin and took a shower bath. Its
name is the funny fish, or scientifical-
iy the periopthalmus scholosseril.—

Crab Finds Rich Oil Field
Oil recently found on an island off
the coast of Honduras was discovered
by the aid of a land crab, after man
nad searched for sears for the petro-
ieum. The region Js infested with the
crabs, which burrow into the scil. One
of them dug into a marsh beneath a
cottage. The next day the owner of
the house smelled the rdox of oil, and
soon found a high-grade flow. He had
been searching for oil for years with-
out success. —Detroit Free Press.
