and an amalgamation with the strands not found in any other fence.
2. All stay wires aro made as heavy as intermodiate .lino wires. A
fonce, like a ohaiu, is only as strong as tho lightest material in it. Think
this over carufully.

Lace Dressing Not Unhealthy.
Lace dressing has ben considered a
necessarily unhealthful occupation on
account of the intense heat required
to he maintained in the room. In
some cases the temperature exceeds
100 degrees Fahrenheit and much
moisture is evaporated from the *wet
fabric. The evidence brought forth at
a recent Investigation in England,
however, shows it to he an exceptionally healthful pursuit. New hands are
often temporarily upset at the beginning hy the high temperature, hut no
cases could he found where health
had broken down. On the contrary,
some ailments—colds, for instance—
were found less prevalent among lace
dressers than among the workers in
other branches of the industry. Timekeepers' books showed few absences
from illness. No special tendency
toward lung diseases could be found,
notwithstanding that most of the
■workers lived in poor and insanitary
localities and held irregular lives.
Many lace dressers now enjoy vigorous old age after doing this work from
childhood.
Passing of Script Cards.
Shaded old English is now the most
approved form of engraving for visiting cards. The script style, time honored and artistic though it may be, has
had its day, according to stationers
who speak with authority. Fashion
dictates a graduated scale in the matter of shading effect, young folks'
cards showing but delicate lines, while
those adapted to middle aged and old
persons hear medium and heavy tracings respectively. A novel process in
imitation of expensive plate printing
has lately been introduced • in the
metropolitan market. The promoters
of this project state that results equal
to high priced tool work are available
at about half the figures usually
charged.

Naming Boys.
"Whatever you do," never name a
boy after yourself," was a saying of
Uncle Lafe Hume of Columbia, and
it is a vise conclusion for more rea^
sons than one.
In after years the father and son
are referred to as "Big John," or
"Ragged John," "Little John So and
So" or "Old Tom and Young Tom,"
and "Big Dick," "Little Peel Head"
and the like. In the family the youngster is generally called "brother,"
"babe," "buss," "Dock Cud" or
"Maunch," and the like, while the old
gentleman is dubbed "the old man,"
or "dad," "pap," or "paw." . Just as
well give your boy a nickname at the
start as to name him after yourself.
