Her majesty has made a thorough study of the history of lace. She even went so far as to visit the tombs of the ancient convents of Italy in search of specimens. Her object was not merely an artistic attraction, but also to find work in their own homes for Italian women. Inspired by tiiis noble example, the Countess de Marmler Is doing the same for France, but on a much larger scale. Toward the end of the eighteenth century lace-making reached Us zenith in France.

Valenciennes alone employed many hundreds of thousands of women. When Napoleon III had himself declared emperor only two old lace makers could be found in that town. Bergue, Little Bailleul and other northern towns took it up. but machine-made lace has never been popular in France. Now Mme.

de Marmier is establishing lace making centers wherein the best eld French lace is made. It is a gigantic work which will give pleasant and profitable employment to all women desiring it.

It was the "Song of the Shirt" revised and brought up to date. To Help Farm Laborers. A determined effort is to be made by the Labor party to secure the passage through Parliament of the agricultural minimum wage bill recently introduced by Oecrge Roberts.

Modeled along the lines of the coal mines minimum wage act, it Is designed to ameliorate generally the condition of the lowest paid class of male laborers in England.

A graphic Illustration of the pitiable WINDSOR SHOPS HIT. Closing of Castle Apartments Hurts Business.

LONDON, July fact of the state apartments of Windsor Castle being closed to the public is having a serious effect upon the tradespeople of the borough, and the mayor has pleaded on their behalf for the removal of the restrictions. He has received the following from Lord Stamfordham, the king's private secretary: "Dear Mr. Mayor In replv to your letter it is needless for me to say that the king quite appreciates all the serious consequences of the closure of the state apartments. At the same time you are perfectly aware of the reasons for their not being opened as usual. The matter, however, will be again carefully considered with the hope of an early suspension of the present existing restrictions." It is supposed that the reason for the closing of the state apartment lies In the activities of the militant suffragettes.

In which he is often accompanied by his son Alexis, the czarevitch. When he returns there is usually one or more of his ministers to be received. A little later, that is shortly after 1-. comes the "official tasting" of the iood for the imperial table. This is brought to the czar in closed and sealed silver dishes by a member of his body guard The czar lunches at 1 o'clock.

Tt Is usually a family meal. Occasionally a member of the Romanoff house or some one from his suite is invited. More often it is tust the little family circle in which Nicholas feels his best. The food is plentiful, but plain and simple. It consists of few courses.

His favorite dishes are roast young pig. "borschtscli," the famous Russian creamed vegetable soup, and "blinnv," a kind of pancake. For drinks he prefers "kvas," specially made for him, and a small quantity of Russian champagne. From 2 to 4 o'clock there are audiences, high military officers who have matters to lav before the czar or heads of state and public institutions whom he wishes to consult. If he is not too busy the czar engages in some exercise from 4 to 5.

It may be a walk, a horseback ride or if he is at Peterhof. a boat ride. He is verv fond of rowing. At 5 there is "family tea." During this he often reads to the czarina and children, something he is fond of doing. Promptly at 6 he returns to work in hia cabinet until S.

iNot a day goes by that he doesn't make an entry. One peculiarity of the Czar Is that he uses lead pencils down until the stub is bo small that he can hardly hold it, and then he often gives it to Alexis. The Czar abhors extravagance. He is economical to the point of "closeness." Although he has been reported to have the greatest wardrobe in the world, it is a fact that his tailor calls him "stingy" because he wears his clothes so long. The Czar has an antipathy to telephones, lie will not have one in his work room.

The telephone is in the room of hia chamberlain and another one close by in that of his aid-de-camp. The children of the Czar are raised with greater simplicity than those of many a family of means among the middle classes, and far stricter. love of the Czar and Czarina for their young son is touching. The Czar wants the boy with him every moment that he it not occupied with work, while the Czarina has nearly wrecked her own health in her devotion to him. Nicholas is not the weakling that he sometimes Is pictured.

That he has courage and determination was shown within the last few weeks during the Scutari and Austrian crisis. Despite the tremendous pressure of the military element, the panslavic party, which is very powerful, and the influence of the grand dukes and relatives in the court of King Nikita, the Czar refused to countenance anything that might lead to war. It was he who finally brought Nikita to his senses. Next to being with his family, hunting is his chief pleasure. This is a picture of the Czar a prejudiced picture perhaps, but one that shows that Czars are made of the urns clay as any other men.
