Every year £10,072,000 worth oi fish are landed by British boats. Tho discovery of the ashes of a Human being in a house which is being demolished in 'an English town was suggestive of a first-class tragedy, outhas turned out merely to be the basis of a screaming comedy. Tho ashes are those of a former resident’s first wife, who was cremated, but as l.e had got married again he had apparently forgotten all about the levered remains. The buckle figures largely in millinery just now, and somo beautiful examples are being shown. Naturally, they are expensive, but they can be easily made at home. Tho first thing to do is to cut out tho shape in tailor’s buckram, and cover it with strips of silk, winding it round carefully, so that no raw edges show. Then embroider circular medallions in alternate colors in filoselle silk, the size depending, of course, on the width of the buckle. The next st< p is to outline the medallions with dull gold thread (of the Chinese nntarnlsliablo variety) until the background of silk is entirely hidden, and the final touch is given by laying two strands—not threads —of filoselle along the outside and inside edge, and overcasting them with silk of another color, so as to form a cord. The very finest size of head sewn closely on to a frame of ordinary buckram makes a beautiful buckle, and one of the most expensive-looking sort, particularly if a tiny bead pattern is carried out. A piece of Chinese embroidery or rich brocade may also be employed for a buckle covering with good effect. Cut the brocade an inch larger than the sh ipe, with diagonal cuts in the centre, making four flaps. This ensures the corners being neat, and then finish olf with a narrow cord. These buckles are really worth the making, the originals of the idea being remarkably beautiful.

A HANDBILL It “DODGER” is a very small article and a very common one. Citizens receive them every day, and a good many of them, further, rarely look at them, but make pipe-lights of them at once. Why is this? The reason is easy to find. In nine cases out of ten the “dodger” is so badly printed and got up in such a rough manner that there is nothing about it to attract the eye. Our Work Is Striking. A “dodger” issued from our office will get three times the attention bestowed on one from any other house because Striking Type, High-Class Paper, and Good Printing. will compel the attention of all into whose hands the “dodger” comes. Wo do not carry on Job Printing for fun, and you may not get anything from us for nothing; but we guarantee that when you pay our pricea you are paying for good work-
