In this city ona see ao many fao.a foreign to 8wltirlnd-that lha quee. tlon arise, where art they fromt The fact la they are representatives of bue.

Ineea houaea of Europe and America, drawn here by the fama of Bt, Gall at a centra for the manufacture of am broidery. Ae long- ago aa 1160 St. OaU waa a flourishing msnufacturlng place, but It waa linen In thoaa old daya and not embroidery. it waa at the tima when rullda flourished In- Europe, and the linen guilds of Bt. Oall were known far and wide.

Thoaa wera daya when cltlea ware Statee and fought against one another In the commercial and other rlvah lea of the middle area. So, Bt. Gall baa been a trading and manufacturing town for oenturlea. Embroidery In all Ita branches la the staple Industry now and It la a centra thVtrade for half a doaen can tone, or Statea aa wa call them In America. 4 Tna city, through Ita specialty, la brought Into business relations with the whole commercial world.

Twice a week tha embroidery Jobbers hold An open air market. They have a com modloua hall, but It Is deserted for tha street market, where bualness la rar. rled on regardleaa of wind or weather. Manufacture re and exporters, mar. chsnta and workera In every branch of thla Industry are to be found here, to- gether with repreeentatlvea of other tradea connected with embroidery.

Tha llfely plotura which such a day affords la highly characteristic of Bt. OaU. Formerly tha embroidery waa all done by hand, and that of Bt. Oall ao-quired a great reputation, but tha In. troductlon of machinery haa largely reduced tha product of hand made, aa machine embroidery Is ao much cheap.

er, Ther ara few hand workera now, as tna generation growing up nnde it much aaaler to operate a machine than to wear out their eyes on hand em. broidery. Tha lower price haa reaulted In an aver Increaalng market. In -fact there ta ao much demand, that dealers ordering special pattema must place their ordera montha ahead. Even then, the gathering of the cropa, or aickneaa In tha family may prevent the delivery of tha goods on time.

Thla would be strange were It not borne In mind that 'Jmuch of tha manufacture la not In Wcitf factorlea but In tha homes of tho people, whether In town or In the country. At present tha number of embroidery machines In tha entire district amounta to mora than 10,000. Tha annual trade value of the machine em. brolderlea and of the chaln-atltch em-broldery (comprising all klnda of blinds 'and curtains) amounta to mora than 116.000.000. Every branch embroidery la represented, from tha coaraeaB to the finest cotton and linen and even to silk and linen robes.

The embroidery Industry haa given rise to varloua establishments for spinning, bleaching, singeing and general finishing. In many large export houses hundreds of handa are employ ed In receiving the gooda and sorting and preparing for exportation: some of these businesses are carried on In handsome premises, while the cutting out and comnletlon of tha embroidery Is also often worked at In private Prominent on St. OaU'a coat of arm a Is the bear.

NOTWITHSTANDING THE STRIKE. Perhaps na two towns In the 8tn4e have felt the effects of the miners' strike more keenly than Shlrkahlnny and Mocanaqua, and yet the residents of thosn places never give up, but make the best of the situation, aa ia attested by the following clippings from this week's Shlckshlnny Echo: E. 8.

The tTt chosen waa tha Oolden Rule, which was recommended by Mr. Daugherty in a strong and forceful sermon as a solution for the present labor troubles. In response to a call from the pulpit on Sunday about seventy-five men gathered at the culm bank on Tuesday and screen, ed a supply of oal for the M.

As In other Bwlas cltlea there Is maintained a "general Inquiry offlce," wbera strangers can obtain all local Information, an excellent idea. The buslnaaa Ufa of tha community la assisted by an Industrial and textile muaeum and by av drawing school for Induatry and manufacture, with special reference to embroidery, There la an axtenalva muaeum of natural history and tha varloua ologiea, together with a creditable art gallery, all belonging to the city. In a pretty park are many glacial boulders, or erratlce, all labeled ao as to tell where the glaciers brought them from. Speaking of erratlca there la ona In Berlin, from which has been chlalled a con glomerate vaaa twenty-two feet In di ameter, and It waa carried by a glacier. Wa had a chance to demonstrate that Swltaerland la a rainy country and we could well believe that tha rainfall of BfGall Is forty Inches a year.

After we oroased the Alpa from Italy there wera twenty-seven rainy daya out of forty-four. Aa one goee further north the Protea-tant population p-xeeeds the Catholic. In Bt. Oall the population la about 16,000, of whom about 60 per cent, are Proteatants. ease The town of Appenscll la a few miles away.

It Is celebrated, or used to be, for ita fine hand made embroidery. It la still noted for tha picturesque houses and quaint costumes of Ita people. We attended mass In the old church, which waa packed to the doors, including standing room. "I don't know what In particular waa going on, but it aeemed like a memorial service of some kind. When It waa finally over for It aeemed very long to thoaa of ua who had to stand the people paaaed out Into tha adjacent burying ground, where they gathered round the newly made grave, the priest going before, and an acolyte awtnglng the ceitacr.

Tha men of the mournera wars long black cloaks. The women wera In black and wore no ornaments But they wore a head dreas resembling butterfly wings In black sauae. eight or ten Inchea high. There were no family plota but tha gravea were consecutive. Of course the bulk of the congregation waa made up of people wearing their usual Sunday clothes.

With my wlfe'a aid I will try and describe tbeae costumes, which ara distinctive of Ap. pensell. Tha young women wore a full aklrt, accordion pleated. Over that a handsome- bright colored allk aprons waist white, slightly low-necked, elbow sleeve, slightly puffed, starched stiff, usually a little lace or embroidery at bottom. Over thla a black velvet bodice, ornamented down back and front with sliver filagree rosettes and cbalna.

Passing under arm from front to back, sliver chaina fastened with filagree silver ornaments. Hair parted and drawn atralgbt back. In a coll of bralda behind, through which la run a allver ornament of uniform pattern. No head coverings. Tha old women wore red bonnets close fitting and coming tight down under eara and tied under chin.

Crown small and covered with satin brocade, pattern uniformly being a red rose with Ita nuda and leavea. Around tha crown waa Bled a bright red ribbon, hanging In a osng bow down the back. Tha old women also wore full aklrta, many of them brown, alao accordion pleated. Aprona usually black allk. In addi tion tby-wore elaborate collars of, allk-, Diacs ana in grays.

Dome ware crocheted, aoma woven allk, aome machine knit, some hand knit and aome embroidered, bdt the handsomest wars Bated and pillow lace. ee.ee 'Another characteristic feature of Ap-bensell 4s -the folk theatre at the village of Welssbad. Taking a hack at Appensell after mass you drive a mile or two along a good country road. At regular intervale, Just Inside the fences, ara the stations of tha croas. In a meadow at WeMssbad a rude covered platform la erected and here on one or two Bundays every summer, is given an exhibition by such of the Country folk aa think they are endowed with hletrlonlo and other accompllsh-mente.

F. C. J. RIVER POLLUTION. COAL REFU8E KILLS FISHES, AND AFFECTS WATER Sl'PPLY.

BUT MAT HAVE BOME FAVORABLE CHEMICAL EFFECTS. An Interesting eerie of Investigations Is about to ba begun by the til vision, of hydrography of the United States geological survey, under M. 0. Lelghton, resident hydrosranher. Into tha effects of coal mine refuse upon the rivera of the coal region.

It haa been commonly observed that the streama running close to the anthracite mlnea of Eoaterr. Pennsylvania and other mining localities are heavily charged with sulphur. and that their waters often have a slightly acid reaction: tho beda of the streama ara often overlain by heavy depoalts of sulphur precipitated from the erater. It la the purpose of tha investigations to discover the effects, deleterious or olherwUe, upon the.rlvcrs which receive the polluted streams. One of the immediate results of the pollution is the driving sway of all varieties of fish.

which were once abundant In these streams, but a more Important consideration is tha Influence of the sulphur-charged streams on the processes of de- composition of organic matter going on In rivets Into which they flow. It la an important question, though at present It seema to ba an open one. whether a stream polluted by sewage la assisted or retarded in Ita acir-purificatlon by the sulphur-polluted tributaries; but there la a coaalblilty. which la vet to be demonstrated, that the discharge of mine waste into eewaare pollution may have an Important chemical Influence upon sedimentation, it not an appreciable effect upon, the oxidation of or ganio matter.
