TI~l SNAKE'S RtEVENGE.A Nebrasta anu Deslvesd the Serpen

Once Too Often.

"I see,'e said the man with the glaebeard, "the t a feller down in Texa- habeen fool]iAthe snakes that was stealin hihen eggs lIv fllin 'em up on these henporcelain net t eggs that is got up to makea hen wear H erself out forthogood o' tyraniman."

"Yes," said the grocer, "I read about itIt appearnlto work pretty'well too."

"It mayuts•k down in Texas," said thiman with' the• ginger beard, "hut if thatteller hasa tthexperience of a neighbor oia friend ot!mane out in.Nebreaky with thattrick it'll beea cdld day for him and his suf.ferin, wveepitr faanbly. Thisdere feller, hetried foolin srkadls;that way'oncet too ofteneor his own good.

"This fellertxel up them chancy eggsfor the snakes,auld the very first moruinhe went out tot•lasnhouse,he found a bigblacksnake 7'fot , inches long with oneof the eggs down i•, neck about 6 inches.You ought to ihetewd that feller laugh atthe joke ho had on 'the snake. He didn'tlaugh long, for assauot as the snake figuredout how he had l*m decsdved he raiseshisself on his tail and fet6hes the mansuch a swipe alougstile thed.lad that it jistlaid ,him out cold. You see the serpint'peared to reatize thatsho war jist as gooda livin' blackjack orAlilly asecould be gotup. Ileiknowed thati there egg was tooheavy to be thereal thimg, and he knowedbe had material for strikin a powerfulblow, which he done-itttheu and there."

"Did the feller get'wel1'" asked the gro-

"Yes, he got well-sortti--but he didn'tnever seewn'to have good sense afterwird;was sort& mooney."

"Say!" said the grocer."Well?""Air you the feller?"The man from Potato creek laughed loud

and long. "Sayl" said he, "I guesthe treatsis on you."

"I guess they air," admitted the man'with the ginger beard. "Jist come over tothe pump, and I'll work the handle tillyou've had all the water you kin hold."-Indianapolis Journal.

Where Lace Ia Made.Lace is made all over Europe, and of all

the lace markets in the world Nottingham,England, is perhaps the greatest, and nextto that CMais, France. To Nottingham iswhere we go to get the great bulk of ourmachine made lace, and today the ma-chines are turning out such perfect imita-tions of thehandmdde article that only anexpert can tell the difference. Handmadelaces, particularly torchon, are made allover Belgium, in Lo Puy, France, and allover Saxony. It is given to little girls,who work the first-pattern, and for this arepaid as low or as high, whichever way theylook at it, as 'centimesperyard. Machinemade torchons,are made in Baumen, Prus-sia, about an hour's ride from Cologne.The maiohne.made valenciennes is made inCalais, Roubsix and Nottingham, whilethe handmade is made in Brussels andCondray.

The-machine made laces are excellent im-itations, and so well made that they haveto a large extent taken the place of tho

'handmade article. Another noted lacemarket is St. Gall, Switzerland, and so isPlaumen, Saxony. Europe is filled withlacemakers, and every country and almosteverybody, I was going to say, is engagedin making it. They arc all breaking theirnecks to got into the American market.They cater to us-do their utmost to meetour tastes and court ourtrade. Americantbuy more lace by half than Europeans.Therethe people value laces as heirlooms,desiring not so much the product of todayas the manufacture of 100 or 200 years ago.Americans wants their laces to wear. TheRussians make some lace, but not much.The heavy so called Russian lace is nowmade in Nottingham. Venetian lace ismade in Brussels, Spanish lace in Lyonsand Irish laces in Nottingham.-Intervieawin Clerk and Salesman.
