Good and Bad Little Boys.

Mother (to Bobby)—l’m shocked to hear that Willie Waffles whipped the poor cat, Bobby. My little boy wouldn’t do such a thing. Bobby (with conscious moral superiority)—No, indeed, ma. Mother—Why didn’t you stop him, Bobby? Bobby—l couldn’t, ma; I was holding the cat. —New York Sun. Bbussels lace is celebrated all over the world, and we must not fail to visit one of the places where this beautiful and costly lace is made. Here we see a number of women, very quiet, very neatly dressed, ana in some cases with wonderfully delicate and soft-looking hands, although they are all plain workingwomen. Each is busy fashioning the delicate pattern of a piece of lace, anditis said that each woman has a pattern of her own, which she always makes, and wjjich, perhaps, descended'to her from her mother and grandmother. Some of the women are working on cushions, with pins and bobbins, and some are using needles and the finest and most delicate of thread. We are told that this thread is all made by hand, and it is So delicate that it has to be spun in damp cell «rB, because in the dry upper air it would break before it is finished. There are old women m Brussels who have Bpent nearly all their lives spinning in cellars.
