The cattle herders on the hill and a few | Indians gather the berries and bring them to Dawson, recelvlng $1 to $1 50 per quart. The idea of building an ice plant in Dawson seems like “‘carrying coals to Newcastle.” The lack of ice in summer, however, has been serfously felt and a contract has bLeen given for an ice ma- chine to be placed in a cold storage ware- house. The cost of ice this summer has been five cents per pound, or at the rate of $100 per ton.

Hand-made lace into two branches, named—from method of construction—needlepoint and pillow lace-making. The former method involves the employment of a needle which loops a thread into various shapes and ems patterns, thus creating a dainty, sculp- | turesque effect of gentle relief. The other method produces a softer blending of ornamental effects by means of twisting or braiding together a number of separat- ed threads wound around the heads of lengthened bobbins and fastened in a row upon the cushion or pillow which gives it its name. In its original form it is closely allied to the reticulated weaving or fringe knotting of ancient peoples. In its pre- sent form it is said to have been invented in the Netherlands, where it is still one of the chief industries. The art of lace-making has been follow- ed by women of all classes. providing a graceful pastime for court ladies and an additional sustenance for the peasants, 200,000 of whom in France to-day eke out a livelihood by this means. As earl the fifteenth century vari stitcheries, interlacing device: signs for indented borders were eagerl sought after; and when the art of eng ing and modés of printing made it pos for books of needlework patterns persede the samplers, which had be sufficient to meet the demand, la ing hecame a specialized industry and a sumed a more independent individuality. Fashion. through the introduction of the Medici coilar into the French court. soon stimulated the making of lace edges in large quantities. In spite of poetic satire and slighting prose. men and women con- tinued to wear these curious stiffened col- lars, some of which were a quarter of a vard deep, with twelve lengths in each triple-staged ruff, all edged with narrow lace. Contemporary writers stigmatized them as “‘gadrooned like organ pipes, con- n in- + BLACK SILK GUIPURE. POINT D'ARGENTAN.

Her son, Henry 11T, having been trained from childhood with a lively taste for Italian affectations, be- | came so_punctilious about his ruffs that, rather than se: them limp and irregular, he would launder and goffer both cuffs and collars himself. Men even more ghan women adopted the wenring of luce, and thus contributed largely to the making of designs of a dis- tinctly artistic character. Eventually lace figured so largely in the enrichment of court attire that not only great, flat col- lars, turned-back cuffs, doublets, gloves and breeches were overloaded with cloudy fabrics but even boots were so adorned. What wonder that when Henry IV coi templated starting a silkworm nursery his Minister, Sully, with Huguenot aus- terity, exclaimed, “You want iron and soldiers, not laces and silks to trick out fops!" ~ The exaggerated use of laces spread from articles of clothing to fur- nishings, beds, canopies, curtain$, even the windows of traveling coaches were so enveloped with these priceless, filmy fab- rics tnat Henry 1V passed sumptuary edicts endeavoring to restrict the absurd outlay upon “glitterings and gildings.
