The laces lbest known to the commercial world in fearlier periods, and still in steady de. ,mand, are those of Venice, Milan and fGenoa: but Venice point, as it was in Eits glory, is now no more. The sole irelic of this far-famed trade is the coarse torchon lace of the old lozenge , pattern offered by the peasant women éof Palestina to strangers on their ar- {rival at the hotels Point d’Espagne, in the usual sense of the word, signifies that gold or sil- :ver lace, sometimes embroidered in ;colors, is what one usually finds much iof in old Spanish collections. 1 France has always contributed gen- gerously to and consumed vast quanti- Eties of lace. Its courts are mainly ldistinguished for its lavish use. Henry, Sin 1577, at the meeting of the States fof Blois. wore on his own dress 4000 éyards of pure gold lace. Under the iregin of Louis XIV., point d’Alencon ireccived a new life. He named it point de France. and made it compul- lsory for all at court to wear it. Thus :was made the fortune of Alencon. a llace rarely and delicately beautiful, if indeed c0pied almost directly from the methods of Venice. The lavish use of glaze during the reign of Louis XIV., Era ". beyond description, vast sums expended upon a single toilet her sex as French revolution was fatal to ;'.he lace trade. For twelve years the 'manufacture almost ceased. and more than thirty different fabrics entirely =disappeared. Napoleon especially pat- ronized the fabrics of Alencon, Brussels and Chantilly. Never was the beauty and costliness of the laces made for the marriage of Marie Louise yet sur- passed. To reproduce them now would, estimates M. Aubry, cost above a mill- ion of francs 'E‘he French lace manufacture felt the political events of 1813 to 1817, but experienced a more severe crisis in 1813, when bobbin net was first made in France. Fashion at once adopted this new material, and pillow lace was, for a time. discarded. Scotch, Irish. English and Russian laces are all well known and much used at the present day. Irish laces have ever been beautiful, but those of Russia remain, as heretofore. rather goch silver work, cotton, or worsted.

It was not until the reign of Richard 111., that the word lace appears in the accounts of the royal wardrobes, when In general, lace consists of two parts, the ground and the flower, pattern or “gimp.” Some laces, however, like points and guipures, are not: worked upon a ground, the flowers are con- necud by irregular threads overcast button-hole stitch, and sometimes Handrmade lace is divided into point and pillow. The first is made by the needle on a parchment pattern, and termed needle point. Point also means a particular kind of stitch, as point de Paris, point de neige, point d’esprit point a la Reine, point a careaux a chainette, and the like. The flower,- 6r Brnamental, pattern, is either made together with the ground, as in Valenciennes or Mechlin, or separately, and then either worked or sewp on,_a1_>plqiue. Thread lace was, however, manufac- tured in Spain earlier than 1492, a lace era in that country, since it was then that there was a law passed pro- hibiting the inlportation of gold lace from Lucca or Florence, except for ec- clesiatical purposes. “For lace let Flanders bear away the belle." Lacemaking forms an abun« dant source of national *wealth to Belgium. The old Flemish laces are beautiful; some of varied grounds. A curious fact in the lace history of Belgium is that at one time lace was smuggled into France from Belgium by means of (logs trained for the pur- pose. A dog was caressed and petted at home, fed on the fat of the land, then. after a season, sent across the frontier, where he was tied up, half starved and ill treated. The skin of of a bigger dog was then fitted to his body, the intervening space filled with lace. The dog was then allowed to escape and make his way home, where he was kindly welcomed with his con- traband charge. These journeys were repeated till the French custom house getting scent, by degrees put an end to the traftic. Between 1152-20 and 1836 no less than 40278 dogs were destroy- ed, a rewaxd of 3 francs being given for each. Brussels or Brabant lace is exquis- ite, the thread used in. it being of ex- traordinary fineness. It is made of the flax grown in Brabant at Hal and Rebecq-Rognou. The finest quality is spun in dark, underground rooms, for contact with the dry air causes the thread to break. So fine‘ is it as al- most to escape the sight. The feel of the thread as it passes through the fingers is the surest guide. The thread spinner closely examines every inch drawn from her distafi, and when any inequality occurs stops her wheel to repair the mischief. Every artificial help is given to the eye. A back- ground of dark paper is placed to throw out the thread, and the room so ar- ranged as to admit but a single ray of light upon the work. . The life of a Flemish thread spinner is unhealthy and her work requires the greatest skill, so her wages are usually propor- tionately high. course in texture. 1.55:; it you view ,.

When that happens the proprietor knows that rain will come down during, the day, and as a rule it comes down in torrents. The sign never fails. This presensaâ€" tion, or whatever you may call it,which exists. in many bride and\ beasts, may be explained partly from the increas- ing weight of the atmosphere when rain is forming, partly by, habits of liv- ing, and partly from the need of mois- ture which is shared byl all.- If we, want :tot find a country where nature has turned thin-gs topsy-turvyâ€" that is ,according to our notionâ€"we must go to Australiai Many things are reversed in that country.‘ ' It is summer there while it is winter in Am- erica., Trees shed their bark instead of their leaves, fruiu has the stone or kernel outside; swans are black, Where is a species of fly that kills and eats the spider, and a \fish,. called the climb- ing perch that walks deliberately out of the wa":er,an1d, with the aid of its fins, climbs the adjacent trees after the insects that infests them”. \Vhen to! this we add that most of the birds have no song and the flowers no odors, itt is easily seen that it is on the other side of the world in more senses than . Buck has made arrangements wait an East Indian trading house to bring over a wild simian at least once (year, so that Sambo may not forget his mother tongue. Should the efforts to educate the monkey to speak prove successful, the time may come when Sambo .will act as interpreter between man and the missing link. Sambo is what is known as a cageâ€" hre-d animal. His parents were cap- tured when young and tamed in a cage by the Rajah of Somabaye. So Sambo has ineveir known a wild existence‘ which may account for his menial and EAST INDIAN 'WIVES. Until the day of her marriage the East Indian girl has been the spoiled pet of her mother, but the hour that sees her put into a planquin, shut up tight and carried to her husband’s house changes all that was happiness into misery. She becomes from that moment the little slave of her mother- in-law, upon whom she has to wait hand and foot, whose lightest: word is law and who teaches her what. dishes her husband likes best and how she is to prepare them. A kind mother-in- law is a thing seldom, if ever. met with, and rarely does she give the lit- tle bride leave to go home and visit her mother. which may account for his genial and tractable disposition. Of her husband the girl sees little or nothing. She cannot complain to him of the cruelty of his mother, for he would never by any chance take her part. He sends in to her the portion of food he wishes cooked for himself, her and the children, and when it is ready she places it upon a large plat-i ter and it is sent into his room. He eats. all he fancies of it and then it is sent back to her, and: she and the children sit upon the floor4 and eat whatever is left. The girls are married as young as 3 years of age, and should a little boy to whom such a baby is married die she is called a widow, and can never marry again. Married life is hard. but. far harder and more sad’is the lot of a widow, for she is considered dis- one day in two weeks she must eat only the very coarsest: sort of food. and one day in two weeks she must fast for twenty-four hours. Her food i and always be eaten away from other wo- men, and she must never dress her hair, never sleep upon a bed and never wear any jewelry. A piece of matting upon the hard floor comprises the couch of a widow, and sometimes even the strip of mat- tress is denied her; no matter how cold the night may be, she is allowed no covering except the thin garment that she has worn during the day. She may never look on at any marriage ceremonies, for it would be an evil omen for her to do so; she may have been a half-caste woman, but upon be- coming a widow even the lowest ser- vants may order her to’ do work that is distasteful to them, and: no woman in the house may even speak one word of comfort or pity to her. Any wo- man who so far forgets herself as to show the slightest kindness to a widow is supposed to infallibly become a widow herself before long. Such bar- barous behavoir is hard to understand and yet these widows take their miser- able lot as a matter of course, not even having the spirit to rebel against its injustice. PRONE TO SUICIDE.

During the last three years the number of suzcides oc- curring am‘mzr physicians has been. respective? -' 49 and 47 per annum, an averag: - nearly one to 2,000; or, as th.‘ dead: rate among the physncians is (about 2.5 201,000, neariy one fiftieth of all the deaths in the profession have been by suicide. 2‘ A TOPSY-TU RVY LAND. 1 One curious case came under my noâ€" .tice in the Midlands many years ago. .When asked for the child's name the 1village matron replied, “Senna-tea,” .or what sounded like it. The aston- Eished cleric asked for a repetition of the name. Again came, more distinct- 'ly than before, “Senna-tea! There 1 was a pause and general bewilderment. :At length the pew-opener hit on the solution, and bend ng toward the per- . plexed clergyman, she whispered. “She means 'Sinnetta, sir; ” and all went well. 1 HUMORS OF CHRISTEPEING. The principal person at n christen- ing is generally too young to take any active part in the ceremony beyond crying loudlyâ€"without which, in some localities, the christening is not con- sidered “ lucky," the baby’s likelihood of good fortune being measured by the vigor of his crying, says a writer in London Tit-Bite. But at the very first service of the kind at which the writer officiated the recipient or the baptismal name distinguished himself and brought confusion on the bashful and inexperienced young parson of those long-ago days; for it was not until long after that memorable first baptism that I lost all fear of drop- ping the infant and a notion that a baby is kept together by its clothes and may at any moment fall to pieces if not very carefully handled. It was a double event; that is to say, two children of the same family were pre- sented for baptism together. In another case well known to me eight children it one family had been saved up, and seven were marched to church as an escort to the eighth; and all were baptized togetherâ€"the fath- er afterward intimating that the vicar ought to “ knock summat off " the fees on the usual principle of “ a reduction for quantities,like.” In any case there were only two, and I found one of them one too many for my peace of mind. for heâ€"e boy of some 8 years of ageâ€"startled and amused the con- gregation and confounded me, when in the act of sprinkling the water on his brow, by lutily singing out, " Here, drop it, will yer 1” Perhaps the pro- test was natural, but it was highly disconcerting. '- Generally, however, the recipient of the name is quiescentâ€"except in the matter of irresponsible yellingâ€"but the parents occasionally furnish much amusement; and especially is the de- mand made to them, ” Name this child," sometimes provocative of very queer responses indeed. I am not now referring to the extra- ordinary combinations of high-sound- ing names with which some ambitious parents burden their offspring, though now and then they are sufficiently mirth-provoking, particularly when prefixed to an ultra-plebeian surname. “ Florence Bertha Madelaine Victoria Snaggles ”â€"the incongruous title rings in my memory after many yearsâ€"is a. â€"case in point. The surname, by the way, was not “ Snaggles,’” but it was quite as full of pathos as that. One child was actually christened and registered " Robert Honly," instead of plain “Robert,” on account of his mother’s anxiety to prevent the ad- dition of a second name. The clergy- man had not quite caught what she said, and asked for a repetition. " Rob- ert," said the parent, “ then, fearing lest the parson’s defective hearing should result in error, she hastened" to say “ Robert Honly.” The “H” made all the difference. I have it on the authority of an en- tirely veracious clerical friend that on one occasion he was staggered, on sayâ€" ing “ Name this child,” by the re- sponse, “ Lucifer ”’â€"as he thought. “ \Vhat?" he asked, "Luthy, sir,” re- peated the lisping and now blushing mother ; and this time my friend grasp- ed the situation and dealt with the in- fant Lucy accordingly. The explanation was simpleâ€"and ro- mantic. Sinnetta was the name of a gypsy buried in a neighbouring church- yard. The handsome gypsy girl had been wooed and won by an aristocrat, but had pined away and died. Her heartâ€"broken husband had her buried near his bail and placed over her a plain white marble tomb bearing the simple name, “Sinnetta.” Possibly moved by the romance, certainly at- tracted by the unusual name, the good woman wished her child to be so called. The follow‘ng to be believed; nevertheless: ~ “ Yes, but do you know what it means? It is impossible to call the child ‘Beelzebub.’ Give him a good sensible nameâ€"call him John, say.” The baby was proudly borne, amid admiring relatives and neighbors, to the font and duly presented for bap- tism. As no protest was immediately made, “ John” the child was duly named; and the person congratulated the baby on having gained a plain, honest name, and himself on having saved the poor mite from keing saddled with 51% which would have becpme intoler But his satisfaction was short-lived. and he was speedily shaken out of his congratulatory mood by the hurried re- turn of the mother. Hastening down the aisle, she brought her baby back to the font before the parson had time to leave it, and exclaimed in con- sternation, as if the disconcerzing anomaly had only just struck her. ‘John's a w,ench sir.” Sure e'noug... the baby was a girl, and anothernam. had to be found and conferred. it ?" the Name this child.” Beelzebub." \Vhac ?” Beelzebnb." But, my good woman, you can’t call child that." It's a Scriptur’ name, sir, ain‘t is almost too strange it actually happened,
