The town of Harmon is talking strongly of buying a now grader, something like onr town has. This will be hailed with joy by many residents of Montmorency, as they are forced to travel their roads and a grader will keep thorn in far better condition than they could otherwise be kept. The road commissioners also voted to spend nearly two hundred dollars this season in fixing np the Hnllingor grade, another much needed job of repairing. We did not know there were so many Montmorency farmers that had gone to town to live, and only realized it at a recent caucus held in Rock Falls, when we counted eleven such present and missed several faces that might have been there.

M. Christie of Chicago is visiting friends in Jordan for a few weeks. Albert Geise went to Germany last fall to see his best and only girl he brought her back with him. They will be married on Wednesday evening. He says the reason ho did not marry her in Germany before they started on their home trip waa because it ia cheaper to marry in this country and not ao vexatious, as there they have to have their intended marriage made public three or four weeks before "the ceremony is performed.

If that waa the custom in this country it would spoil many a well laid plan. Isaac Brcsaler has had a new galvanized eteel Aer-motor wind mill pnt on hia tower in place of the old one. Nicholaa Wilger traded horses with the Gipeiea the other day and when asked whether he warped it to them said with a wink "Oh! I am satisfied."

One should think that the Dairy beeves was on in this section judging by the amount of milk that is hauled through Fenrose to the Gilbert creamery.

There is no doubt but that cows well handled will bring in better results than any other kind of farming.

Fanny John knowa on which round of the WOMANLY PRIDE. Some Queer But Interesting Bits of Glove Lore. Even Gentlemen Interested.

AB essential in tho make up of a woman as dainty embroideries, neat shoe or stylish bonnet, that changes with the Benson, are her gloves, and when they become- rufilcd with wear her heart and pride sympathize. One Sterling merchant was asked the other day to make a conservative estimate of tho number of gloves annually disposed of In this city. Ho looked intently at us to BOO If we really meant it, and then collapsed. It is too groat a quantity for mo to even think of, he said. The principal shades called for by our well dressed women are tans and slates.

They come in a variety of shades still clinging to those two as a baso color. Should.a merchant desire to carry every sUade made, ho would need the fabulous wealth of a Rothschild and a store room greater than any one establishment now existing in this city. Take tho gloves in green as a single exception, there are over eighty shades and their given names are as numerous as tho strangers visiting your city. Most of tho gloves sold are of foreign manufacture, nnd the dainty kid once formed the coat for an enormous rat or a mingy Not all, for some are no misnomers but came by right to tho name they bear. In gentlemen's wear we find thoy emulate the gentler sex both in the quality and color of thoir hand covering.

They are not so wedded to the costume of wearing gloves, however, and tho habit seems to be growing lets each year. They cling to browns and slates in shades, seldom a stepping aside, and never wear oven these excepting to an evening party, church or thoitro. IIOYAL GLOVES. Gloves early became a appendage of royalty, "Purple gloves ornamented with pearls and precious atones," wore wo read, anciently deemed ensigns of imperial dignity. "In Germany tho imperial ornaments included, "tho gloves embroidered with curious stones," and in France and England tho investing with blessed gloves the long formed part of coronation ceremony, and when the king died jewelled gloves were placed on.his hands as part of the royal insigna with which he was lain in tho tomb.

Monarchs wore invested with tho giving of a old record tells that the earl of Flanders, by the delivery of a glove to Philip, the him possession of Flan dors. Under the Normans and Plan tagenots gloves were part and parcel of the kingly power, serving as ambassador as wo)l as pledge. Under their protection fairs and markets wore often held, the king sending his glove as a sign of his consent, which was usually raised on a pole as a sign of security. Those royal gloves were always white with very wide pointed cuffs, but later they were made of various colors and materials, a pair of linen gloves being ordered for the coronation of James II, and his Queen. Several gloves that have adorned royal hands are still preserved and shown, and possess not only interest biBtorlcalJy, but as specimens of the making and fashion of tho gloves at that age.

The oldest of those, onoo tho property of Henry VI, and probably a hunting of tanned leather, lined with deer skin with the hair on, the deep cuff being turned over to show the latter. A pair preserved in the Bodle- ian Library, Oxford, are eaid to have graced the fair hands of Queen Elizabeth when she visited the University in 1566. Elizabeth's vanity in regard to her hands is a matter of history. A pair of gloves given by Charles on the scaffold, to the Bishop of London are still sacredly preserved by his descendants. A splendid specimen of the IGth century glove, to which a like mel ancboly interest attaches, is one which the lovely and unfortunate Mary Queen of Scots gave on the morning of her ex ecution to one of the gentlemen who at tended her.

This is of light buff colored leather embroidered on the deep gaunt let with silver wire and colored silks, in l-iml into line sill weriv-'Hcortril to tho Nothing promised on tho programs wnq missed; tho street parade though short wna exceptionally good and tho afternoon c.terclsies at tho Opera houso fino. Tho mayor of the ciipitol town made tho address of welcome, which was fittingly replied toby Chaplain K. Brown of tho Sterling lodge. Oa the platform, among iho more prominent gentlemen, eat a young, boyish looking man, and as tho president of thj day brought him forward nnd introduced turn as Senator C. Porter Johnson of Chicago, tho aftornoon orator, there was an aranzod expression pnsaed over that largo assemblage, and that expression never forsook it as this glftod man, of but twenty-six years, in words eloquent, and timely, spoke.

He is an ardent member of tho fraternity, and ovon those outside of tho palo of tho order were deeply Interested in the words of wisdom, ndmonltion and on- co jragemont which he gave. There wore several short impromptu addressee, that of Rev. McLaln being particularly pointed. Throughout there was excellent music; a quartette of male voices and tho pleasing airs of the Keystone band being the special provision.

On they came, keeping time and distance like veteran soldiers, and soon tho whole magnificent spactaclo was In view. As Governor's Island was passed the fort's guns boomed out a salute, and shortly nfter the Miantdnomah thundered away in honor of the unveiling of the Btntue to Ericsson, which had at that moment occurred at the Battery.

The Blake, with her two great tapering buff colored smokestacks and majestic mien, caught the fancy of the crowd. Bhe moved along as if held In check, nnd appeared to be going slowly, although she was making nine miles an hour. She carried a guard flag (a white field crossed with crimson bars) at her foremast-head, and floated the naval ensign of Great Britain at her spnnkergaff. Tho View from the Battery. Those who were fortunate enough to obtain a place on the Battery had a splendid of the naval parade, for they passed close by as they steamed into the river.

It was over In half an hour, for by that time the two lines, closed by the Mlantonomah and 'Republics, had gone by and the people who lined the shores and packed the declivities of the river banks were the favored ones, and they cheered themselves hoarse as the white ships of their own navy, making a showing that was not clclipsed by the visitors, came Into view and passed. As the end of tho parade was reached the ships slowed' down and at Signal from tho Philadelphia thirty odd massive anchors splashed in the water and the parade was cnied.

The heights were black with sightseers, while crowded until there was hardly room to move on all water surface not appropriated to tho ships were thousands of water craft of every description, all alive with excited and holiday-making humanity.

All the ships were dressed in bunting of every notion and the Bpuce separating the two lines was sufficient to permit tho Dolpljin and aor consorts to pass between with plenty of room for the war vessels to salute as she passed.
