Macrame lace work is a popular and pleasing employment for odd moments in the country this summer, and many of our lady readers will joyment and divertisement in culé The macrame thread is flax, and soft and agrecabie In handling. Barbour in his di- rections for using the thread, says: “The lace is made by knotting the threads together. One thread is held firmly over the other as leader, and each single thread 1s knotted twice on to it, when a leaf is worked from left to right the leader is sheld in the left hand.” For making Jarger pieces of lace, euch, for instance, as would be suitable for lambrequins, shawls or similar articles, the employment of a “Lace Desk” is advised, an adjunct to the making of the lace that is most helpful. Aside from its value as a furnishing medium macrame lace 1s | excellent for trimming clothing. .It is durable and beautiful and capable of withstanding the Tough usage that the laundry generally deals out to soiled skirts. Costumes of linen satine, batiste and lawn are richly adorned with it, and the manner of making it gives much room for originality in the method and design of knot- ting the threadsand arrangingthe figures in the lace; there is no limit to the opportunity for in- genuity in this feature of the work. There are certain rules laid down that govern the origi- nality of the lace ina characteristic form and this distinctiveness, of course, cannot be changed without destroying the primary prin- ciples of its formation; vut new designs may be added, and old patterns doubtless can be im- proved, giving, perhaps, a shading of the es- thetic. In working this lace the flax threads are cut in certain lengths, all depending upon the width of the pattern to be wrought. One thread serves as a guide, and is called “leader it is held either in the right or left hand, but ways by itself; its situation is determined by the design to be executed, which is soon learned €g the process is not. difficult; itis really very sinple, so perfectly free from complications and all bewildering intricacies that tend to puzzle the brain. There are only single, double and open chains, with the Solomon's knot, to learn in macrame lace work; to make the single chain, take two threads, hold onestraightin the left hand, knot the other on to it with the right crumb t in bollin: ALLIGATOR LEATHER. First Tanned as n Cariosity, but now Used to Make a Multitude of Articics. From the New York Sun. A large variety of pocketbooks, card cases, hand bags, and other articles made of a pecu- liar mottled leather was seen in a Chambers street show case. A long narrow plece of the same kind of leather hung over them. It was rounded at one end and tapered away to a Point at the other. Two flippers projected from each side of it. “The use of alligator skins seems to be in- creasing,” the reporter said to the proprietor of the show case. “The increase {s astonishing,” he replied. “Twelve or fifteen years ago alligator leather was tanned asa curiosity. Few articles were made of it. Abont tour years ago, however, the manufacture of alligator leather began .1n earnest. First a few shoes were made of it, and the manufacturers of such oods saw there Was something in it. It isa peculiarly beauti- ful leather. There are no two skins marked just alike, an¢ follows that no two articles made of the leather can be alike. The natural color of the leather is attractive, aside from the beauty of the markings. “It finishes soft and flexible. It is conceded that Americans tan and finish it in a manner superior to the best. workmanship of the old country. Here is a pocketbook; American alligator skin torms the outside; American calfskin the lining, Any Jude of such goods will say that it 1s by ail odds the handsomest as well as the best leather of the kiffd in existence, Sixty doJars a dozen for such goods, small as they are, 1s a low price. “While the beauty of alligator leather is its ehtet characteristic, its durability is of hardly less importance. These gripsacks of alligator leather will outwear their owners, no matter how youthfal. With these two things in its fator, it isno wonder that the sale of alligator leather is increasing.” “How many alligators were slaughtered to Satisfy the demand last year?” Sot less thaa halt @ million.” “How do you get the skins, and where do they come from?” “Most of them come from Florida and the other Gulf states. The alligators are shot with rifles, and the negroes have almost a monopoly of the business. When an alligator crawls out on the sand for his after-dinner sleep he falls a victim. The negro gets from fifty cents to one dollar apiece for allizators. The hunt is car- tled on 80 vigorously that the reptiles are be- ginning to grow scarce. Laws will have to be enacted eventually to protect them during the breeding season and when young. “All sizes from two to ‘eighteen feet in length are now killed. The choice skin Is six feet long. There Is as muca difference between the six foot skin and the eighteen-foot skin as there is between a calfskin and an oxhide. Theskins are packed in lime for two months to remove the horny scales. The remaining process is much like that for any leather. It takes four months to prepare askin. There is a tannery for alligator skins in Brooklyn.” “Has any one developed an imitation of alli- gator leather?” “The frauds are in using imperfect skins. No lime will soften the horns that have stood the attrition of red-hot sand for half # century. Those skins do not wear well between the scales. There are other imperfections In the skins. The demand for colored goods heips us out, how- ever, as the coloring matter covers a multitude of tmperfections. When you want an alligator leather article ot any id choose'the uneciored goods, pay a fair price, and you will get the cheapest as well as the handsomest and best.” ——eoo— The Morality of Concert Gardens.

The proprietor of a large up- town garden is making a curious effort to give them the liquid and harmony without subject- ing them to the elbowing of bad tolks. The stranger who presents himself at the entrance is informed that tickets are not to be bouzht, and that he can't get in without one. Formali- ty is not carried to the point ot excluding him, however, or the woman whom he may have brought, unless the doorkeeper dislikes the looks of them. He is told that he can procure a season ticket. His name and address are taken down in a big book, and the blanks in a card filled out with a ‘shbw of careful precision. Thus he 1s qualified to goin, with any party for whom he is willing to vouch, and buy ail the beer he has any use for. And this red tape really means somthing. A detective is employed to look into the personal concerns of fre- quenters whose conduct rouses his suspicion, and it the investigation goes against them they find the door shut to them the next time they come.

Correspondence Chicago Tribune. The court etiquette has crown more rigid and inflexible during these months of increasing mor- bidness, and soon, it is feared, the Queen will be as far removed from her people as a Chinese emperor. She carries out her willful insistance upon etiquette in every least detail, and even when it concerns herown children and grand- children. When the Princess Loulse returned from Cana- da and arrived at Windsor, she was kept wait- ing until she had changed her attire and until the Queen sent word that she was prepareato re- ceive her. It is reported that the Princess entered the drawing room in the evening to await dinner, dressed in a most lovely crimson velvet gown, with silk hose to match. The Queen hap- pening toespy the Princess’ feet, said: “Do you not know that colored stockings are not | permitted in iny presence? Go to your room at once and change your stockings!” And go the Poor Princess came down to dinner in a crimson velvet dress, wearing white stockings. Not one ofthe royal children ever visited the Queen except by spectal and formal invitation. Her Majesty appoints the hour for her own chil- dren to come and for them to go. One can im- agine the unnaturalness of such a household. The Prince Consort was stately, buthe was a genial, happy, mirth-loving gentleman. He was the most affectionate husband and father, } his fine German heartiness. Since his death is children have had no parental companionship and they are as tar removed from the Queen as though they had not been born of her. It ig well known that the Prince of Wales has very great influence over his. mother and is per- sonally deeply attached to her. He was a constant companion of his father, and he quite remembers how his father managed th® Queen in the old days. The Prince is said to be most charming tn his relations to his mother and is always upon his most beautiful manners in her presence. He at times does approach her with great affection and even tenderness of feeling and demonstration. ————_—_~-2-_____ How to Preserve Lemons. From the Syracuse Herald. “My guess is,” sald the man at the hotel, “that before the 1st of September lemons will be worth their welght in gold, and now while they are cheap I’m going to get in a stock.” “How are you going to save them?” was a Herald man’s inquiry. “There, now you're asking questions,” sald the man, who makes a breakfast off lemon juice and egg, “‘and now If you'll get up close, where the man who runs the frult stand can’t hear, I'll tell you.

In re- ference to the relation which the fisheries bore to the total supply,of food of those who had easy access to the sea he quoted the following paragraph from the report of the Fisheries Com- missioners, 1866: ‘:The produce of the sea around our coasts bears afar higher proportion to that of the land than, is Sealy, imagined. The most frequented fishing grounds are much more prolific of food than the same extent of the richest land. Once ina year an acre of good land, carefully tilled. produces a ton of corn or two or three hundredweight of meat or cheese. The same area at. the bottom of the sea in the best fishing grounds yields a greater weight of food to thé persevering fisherman every week in the year. Five vessels belonging to the same source Ina single night’s fishing brought in seventeen tons’ weight of fish, an amount of wholesome food equal in weight to that of 30 cattle or 300 sheep. The ground which these vessels covered during the night's fishing could not have exceeded an area of fifty acres.” My colleagues and I made this stdtement a ood many years ago. I have recently tried to dis- cover what yield may ve expected, not from the best natural fishing grounds, but from piscl- cultural operations. At Comachlio, close to the embouchure of the Po, in the Adriatic, there is a great shallow lagoon which covers some 70,000 acres, and in which pisciculture has been prac- tised in a very ingenious manner for many cen- turies. The fish cultivated are eels, gray mul- let, atherines, and soles; and, according to the figures given by M. Coste, the average yield for sixteen years from 1798 to 1813 amounted to 5 ewt. per acre—that {s to say, double the weight of cheese or meat which could have been obtain- ed from the same area of good pasture land in thesame time. Thus the seas around us are not only important sources of food, but they may be made still more important by the artifi- clal development ot their resources. He presently turned to the question whether fisheries are exhaustible, and, if so,. whether anything can be done to prevent their exhaus- tion. He did not think it possible to give a categorical answer. There were fisheries and fisheries; but he had no doubt that there were some fishertes which were inexhaustible. Instan- cing the salmon rivers, he said it was quite clear that those who would protect the fish must address themselves to man, who was reachable by force of law, and that it not only might be possible, but it was actually practicable toso regulate the action of man with regard to a salmon river that no such process of extirpation should take place. But ifwe turned to the great sea fisheries, such as cod and herring fish- eries, the case was entirely altered. Those who have watched these fisheries offthe Lofoden Isles, on the coast of Norway, say that the coming in of the cod in January and February is one of the most wonderful sights in the world; that the cod form what Is called a ‘cod mountain,” | which may occupy a vertical height of from 20 to 30 fathoms that is to say, 120 to 180 feet—in the 8ea and that these shoals of enormous extent keep on coming in in great numbers from the westward and southward for a period of something like two months. The number of these fish is so prodig- fous that Professor Sars, the most admirable authority, from whom I quote these details, tells us that when the fishermen let down their loaded lines they feel the welght knocking against the bodies of the codfish for a long time beforé it gets to the bottom. I have made a computation, with the details of which I will not trouble you, which leads to this result, that if you allow the fish each ofthem four feet in length, and let them be a yard apart, there will be ina square mile of such shoals something like 120,000,000 fish. I belleve I am greatly un- derstating the actual number, for I betleve the fish lie much closer, but I would beg your at- tention to the bearing of this underestimate, because I do not know that the Lofoden fishery has ever ylelded more than thirty million fish in a good season; and, so far as I am aware, the whole of the Norwegian fisheries, great as they are, do not yield more than seventy million. Soyou will observe that one of these multitudi- nous shoals would be sufficient to supply all the fisheries ot Norway completely, and to leave a large balance behind, And that is not all. These facts about the cod apply also to the herring; for not only Professor Sars, but all ob- servers who are familiar with the life of the cod when it has attained a considerable size, telt us that the main food of the cod is the herring, so that these 120,000,000 ot cod in the square mile have to be fed with herring, and it is easy to see, if you allow them only one herring a day, that the quantity of herring which they will want in the course of a week will be something like 840,000,000. Now, I believe the whole Nor- wegian herring fishery has never reached the fizure of 400,000.000 fish—that 1s to say, one-half the fish which this great shoal of codiish eats In a week would supply the whole of the Norwe- gian fisheries. On these and other grounds it seemed to him that this class of fisheries—cod, herring, pilchard, mackerel, ete.—might be re- garded as inexhaustible. But he should not venture to say this of the whole of the sea fish- eries—ot the oyster fisherles, tor example. American Glaciers. Senator Edmunds in the Portland Oregonian. I absolutely never believed there was any- thing in America comparable in grandeur to the scenery I have seen on my necessarily brief visit to Mount Tacoma. The access, thanks to the well-cut trailsmade bythe engineer of the North- ern Pacific railroad, is easy, and, as I learn from Mr. Oakes, will be made as easy as a carriage road, or nearly, within a month from now. To express half of my admiration for the transcen- dent grandeur of every part of the scenery, and especially of the glacier, would be iinpos- sible. A more perfect glacier, in allthe features found in such phenomena, it would be impos- siblé to find, Certainly no Alpine glaclerexcels it in perfection; and yet, as 1 was given to un- derstand, it is the least, In point of size, of all that have been discovered on this mountain. I cannot help saying that lam thoroushly con- vinced that no resort in the United States will be so much sought after as this, when once people come to know that what men cross. the Atlantic to see can be seen in equal splendor, if not surpassed, at home. I hear doubts expressedas_to whether Mt. Ta- coma can be ascended; but a steady head, a sure toot, a reliable alpenstock, and a little de- termination-could probably accomplish what is of course a very daring feat. New Tacoma has a fortune in the fact that it is the vest point from which to start to this, the grandest of all American mountains; and I learn from Mr. Oakes that guides and all conveniences will be afforded to tourists desirous of visiting this mag- nificent scene. If Switzerland is rightly called the play-ground of Europe, I am satisfied that around the base of Mt. Tacoma will become a prominent place of resort. not for Americans only, but for the world besides. Tneed not deal with the particulars of our journey, as you can get them minutely logged yy my young friend, Lieutenant Arthur. Let me only add this much in this regard, that nothing could be, to me at least, more enjoyable than the gradual approach to tlie inner circle of the court where the monarch of our northern mountains reigns supreme. The emotions stir- red in one’s breast—at least they were in mine— completely defy all the powers of language to express. When we reached the foot of the glaciers, foot-sore and weary as we were, I could not help pausing in breathless silence as we reviewed this majestic mass of ice, imbed- ded inthe bosom ofthis gigantic monarch among Alps. If it was not the grandest of the group, as we were informed by Mr. Willis, who was one of our party, it was enough magnificence for us. The stupendous sides of the canyon in which the glacier lay formed a setting perfect in its harmony of contrast, if the term be ad- missible, to the pagodas and pinnacles of the se- cluded mass of ice. I have been through the Swiss mountains, and 1am compelled to own that, incredible as the assertion may appear, there is absolutely no comparison between the finest effects that are exhibited there and wi seen in approaching this grand, isolate mount 1 would be willing to go 500 miles again to see that scene. This continent is yet in ignorance of the existence of what will be one of the grandest show places, as well as a sanitarium.

From the Pall Mall Gazette. It is idle, no doubt, to speculate at present upon the whence and the whither of the epi- demic of cholera reported from Egypt. As be- comes a place which has experienced sixteen attacks of cholera, some of them very severe, within the last fifty years, Mecca, upon the occurrence of an outbreak, ordinarily takes precedent among the gravely suspected sources ; of disease. During tht whole of last summer cholera prevailed to an unusual extent in Japan. There was also about the same time a very de- structive epidemic raging in the Soulou and Philippine Archipelagoes. For the last hundred years or more cholera has been treated as an “‘institution” of India, and the mortality bills there on a large scale. The last notable outbreak in India was amongst an assemblage of pilgrims at Allahabad, in January last year. The first historical epidemic, so far as Europe 1s concerned, commenced toward the close of 1829. Cholera then reap- peared in Persia, and, gaining a foothold in the Caucasian provinces bordering upon the Cas- pian, it entered Russia in Europe. The capitals, old and new, and other parts of the great em- pire came under the scourge. Grave alarm spread over Europe, where the dread disease had put Itself in evidence for the first time. - It passed from Russia to Austria, Hungary, and Germany, the victims in thelatter country alone numbering more than 900,000. Upon the 26th of October, 1831, it was brought in aship from Germany to Sunderland; on February 6th, 1832, it appeared in Edinburgh, and on February 13th in Rotherhithe and !imehouse, ard on March 18th it was reported from Dublin, and during the year it prevailed extensively throughout almost the entire kingdom. Theexact numbers are unknown, as there was then no registration of deaths, but the deaths of 52,547 persons were reported through various sources to the board of health. France, Spain and Italy after- wards got their turn. Between March and August 18,000 people died of the disease in Paris, where, as in Hungary, the peo- ple, being suspicious of occult poisonin, “excited to madness and murda France the cholera crossed the Atlantic, and spread through North and Central America. From Germany it had previously traveled into Turkey. A little while afterwards it presented itself in Arabia, Egypt, and the Nile district, and it was general throughout North Africa in 1835. In 184la great epidemic broke out in India and China, and, developing upon the lines of the former epidemte, it reached Europe in 1847, and, passing over the continent, traveled to America and the West Indies, there being 40,000 cases In Jamaica in 1850. It was in Oc- tober, 1848, that the first cases became known in England. On June 3d, 1849, the deaths In Paris numbered 119. On June 11 the general board ot health in England re- ported that since the latter end of March the disease had broken out in twelve different parts of the metropolis,in twenty-seven towns in England and Wales, and seventeen towns in Scotland. Uptothis time there had been in this country about 7,000 deaths out of 15,000 at- tacks. During the week ending September 15 the deaths in London were 3,183, the ordinary average then being 1,008. By order of the queen the following day, Sunday, prayers were offered up in all the churches for the removal of the scourge. The number of deaths from cholera from June 17 to October 2 in London alone was 13,161. The sickness disappeared in the middle of October. Out of a population of 17,564,656 in this country 53,293 died of cholera and 18.887 of diarrhea. England has had experience of four epidemics of “Asiatic cholera. The two remaining out- breaks of which we have to speak were much milder in character than those aiready described. On September 4, 1853, the disorder again broke out with great severity in Newcastle, and North Shields and other adjoining towns suffered . In July, 1854, It again made its pres- ence felt over the whole of the metropolis. The epidemic reached its height in the second week ot September, almost on the same day that the epidemle of 1849 occasioned the highest mortality. Indeed, as Dr. Sutherland reported to the ‘general board of health, there was a remarkable similarity throughout in the progress and development of both epli- demics. In the , week ending September 9 there were 2.050 deaths from cholera in Lon- don. The epidemic reached its maximum in nine weeks, but the mortality did not fall to that of the first week until thirteen weeks after the maximum period. From the Ist of July to the 16th of December the total mortality from cholera in London was 10.675, and from diar- theca, 2.601, while from typhus It was 1,347. On the north side of the Thames there was one deativto 353 Inhabitants; on the south side the proportion was one to every 108. During the autumn the terrible disease appeared in many parts of the kingdom, and in ‘some cases the epidemic was severely felt. It was in September of this year that Lord Palmerston issued his famous rebuke to the presbytery of Edinburgh, which had suggested a national fast. ‘When man has done his utmost for his own safet; said the home secretary, ‘‘then fs the time to invoke the blessing of heaven to give effect to his exer- tions.” In July, 1854, the alarming intelligence reached England that the cholera had appeared among our troopsin the Crimea. Regiments were reduced to 300 or 400 sickly men. It took the Guards two marches to get over the ten miles of ground lying between Alladyn and Varna. During anexpeditionto Kostendji nearly 400 Frenchmen were swept away. for two years the epidemic prevailed extensively on the continent, ten thousand persons dying at Naples, and it also spread with great virulence over Northand South America. Ten years elapsed befure the awful scourge again visited Europe. From June to July, 1865. ithad raged at Alexandria, and in August it was caus- ing deaths at the rate of 2,000a day In Constan- tinople. The deaths in’ Constantinople had reached nearly 50,000, when the great fire on September 5, which destroyed 1,500 houses, be- sides mosques and other public buildings, pret- ty summarily closed the career of the epidemic. At this time, also, it was to be found in Russia, Italy, Spain and France, and Austria lost 10,000 lives. In April,1866,the cholerareached England, via Bristol and Liverpool, but the number of deaths, it was a creat satisfaction to those persons who had been interesting themselves, between epidemics,in the promotion of sanitary reform, to know, did not materially affect the returns of mortality in the whole kingdom for the year. In the London district, however, 5.973 persons died of cholera, and 3,197 of diarrhoea, princi- pally in the East-end. ‘In describing the ‘“‘cat- astrophe in which 4,500 perished in East Lon- don,” Dr. Farr hints not obscurely that it was very largely traceable to the character of the water supply. Within a few weeks £70,000 was raised for the relief of the distress in London, the queen subscribing £500. The close of the year saw it extinct in London, but a longer time elapsed before it was banished from the continent. Since then only Isolated groups of on i have been reported in our quarter of the globe. —_—_—__+95—— Bill Nye On Health Food.

From the Baltimore American. ~ The death of General Tom Thumb, the cele- brated lilliputian, recalls some interesting Incl- dents connected with his public caréer. It was in November, 1842, that the great showman, P. T. Barnum, first heard of the General. Tom Thumb was then fourteeu years old, two feet high, weight less than sixteen pounds, and was considered the smallest child for his age in the world. Hewas perfectly formed, bright-eyed, had light golden hair and ruddy cheeks. He was very bashful, but, with a little coaxing, would talk with anyone. When Barnum first engaged him he agreed to give him $3 a week and traveling and hotel expenses, His first public appearance was in New York city on Thanksgiving day, December 8, 1842, at the American Museum. At the expiration of the first engagement Barnum made another con- tract with the general for one year at $7 per week and expenses for himself and mother, but | before the expiration ofthe contract he had b come such a great favorite that Barnum in- creased his salary to #20 and afterwards to £50 per week. He was taken to Europe in IM4, where he appeared before all the crowned heads, and from them he received valuable to- kens of regard and esteem. At this time he was fourteen years old, but was advertised by Barnum as twenty-one years old. All Europe, from the nobility to the*peasant, seemed to have a perfect craze to see him, and Barnum, in his “Life,” speaking ot the succese of Tom Thumbs’ first visit to Europe, says: “The word of approval was, indeed, so passed around in high circles that un- Invited parties drove to my door in crested car- riages and were not admitted.” When first sented to Queen Victoria the General ex- ned, “good evening, ladies and gentle- men.” A burst of laughter followed the salu- When asked by Her eee? how he liked the royal paintings, he replied that they were ‘first rate.” It is customary in leaving the roval presence to back out, and the General and Bar- num were both given lessons inthe art by the lord-in-waiting before they were admitted to the palace. Barnnm, in speaking of the way in which they left tle Queen, says: “The lord in waiting was perhaps mollified towards me when he saw me following his illus- trious example in retiring from the royal presence. He was accustomed to the process, and therefore was able to keep somewhat ahead (or rather aback) of me, but even J stepped rather fast tor the other member of the retiring party. We had a considerable distance to travel in that long gallery before reaching the door, and whenever the General found he was losing ground, he turned around and ran a few stepa, then resumed the position of backing out,’ then turned around and ran, and so continued to alternate his methods of getting to the door, until the gallery fairly rang with the merriment, of the royal spectators. It was really one of the richest scenes Lever saw. Running, under the circumstances, wasan offense suMciently heinous to excite the indignation of the queen's favorite odie dog,and he vented his displeasure by ‘king so sharply as to etartie the General from his propriety. He, however, recovered imme- diately, and with his little cane commenced an attack on the poodle, and a fanny fight ensued, which renewed and increased the merriment of the royal party.” At the second visit of the General to the Queen, the Queen introduced him to the Prince of Wales, saying: “General. this 1s the Prince of Wales.” ‘How are you, Prince, old tellow?” said Tom Thamb. The Queen then asked him if he would sing her a song, at the same time asking hin what song he preferred. “Yankee Doodie” was the prompt reply. In 1847 he ap- peared before President Polk at Washington, and had audiences with all the Presidents since that time. In every city in the United States he was a great success. His first appearance in this city was at old Carroll Hall, on Baltimore street, corner of Calvert, in 1848. He also ap- peared at the New American Museum, where the Baltimore and Ohio building now stands, under Mr. John E .Owens’ management;at Front Street Theater, Ford's Opera House and the Academy of Music. Charley Howard, the veteran minstrel of this city, says: “I traveled h the general for five months in 1848, and used to carry him trom the hotel to the theater every rainy or snowy night. He was the most irritable fellow I ever saw. He was always ina bad humor, and would get up every morning crying; but he got over that in after years.” During the burning of the Newhall House in Milwaukee about a year ago the general and his wife barely escaped with their lives from the burning building by means of a clothes line. He lost at this fire some of his decorations, medals, etc.. to the vaiue of $9,000. In 1863 he was mar- ried in Grace church, New York, to Minnie Warren, who survives him. The general had little or no voice,and his performances consisted of dancing and fair imitations of actors and ac- tresses. Both Mr. and Mrs. Stratton, the parents of the general, were large people. Mr. Stratton was 5 feet 11 inches high and weighed 160 pounds, and Mrs. Stratton was nearly as tall (ee welghed more than her husband. At the ame of his death the general had grown quite leshy. ——_-e-—_____ Saturday Smiles. Bismarck thinks that the American pig is the rooter of all evil.—Bujfalo Courier.
