colors amid the threads, spread like a
cobweb, before their enraptured eyes,
and all that too through their instrument
tality." Some things in the process of
weaving tapestries are very remarkable,
the tapestry is worked on the wrong
side, so that the artist cannot~see the
face of the design he is weaving, until
the whole piece is finished and taken out
Of the loom or frame.
An entire new species Of tissue and
tapestry has been invented in England
and secured by patent which promises
to become an article of great commercial
value. Her Majesty, Queen Victoria,
it is said has especially ordered some for
covering some chairs for the palace at
Windsor. 1t bears SO close a resem-
blance to silk of the best kind that it is
difficult without a minute examination
to discover the difference. The mate
rial Of which it is composed is the fibre
of the banana, aloe, and other trees and
plants which are plentifully found in the
West India Islands 1t is about to be
used in the manufacture of carpets and
rugs.
The coronation robe of Queen Vic
toria is said to have contained thirty
colors and in its manufacture thirty
shuttles were used. This fancy dress
which was very beautiful cannot be COM
pared to one formerly woven for Pope
Boniface to sleep in. In its manufac-
ture swo hundred and sevcnty-six shut
ties were employed, and these colors
were so arranged and blended together
as to form correct likenesses of 276
heretics, each suffering under some
species of torture different from any of
the others. Thus the undress of his
Holiness contained not only a greater
variety of coloring, but also more terri
bic specimens Of design than any gar
ment ever manufactured in Europe.

4 RECIPE FOR PRoCURTNG SLEEP AT

son used to do, Anne, when he was
troubled in mind, and could not sleep -
said Mrs. Garnet. "What did old Mr.
Jackson DO, if may presume to ask 2"
said Mr.. Thornley,. " lie did just this :"
s:v-~sho; he sung himself to sleep.
don't mean that he sung out audibly
hut he went over in his mind some par
ticular tune. And he fixed upon asrng
poem, that he mi gbt have the better
chance Of falling asleep before he came
to the end Of it," A" 1t was lucky he
knew onc,o observed Mr. Thornley,
there are not many old eontlemen, |

very long poems, unless they happen TO
have written them themselves " 4" lie

And being puzzled as to what he should
do with the second line, where the me
ter Of the poem differs from that Of the
song, hc added an q at the end so it
went thus:
Turn, gentle hermit Of thc dale,
And guide my lonely way-O,
To where yon taper cheers the vale,
With hospitablo ray--O.'"
Oh, most barbarous, wicked !" ex-
claimed Mr. Thornley,, could he find
no other stanzas whcrcwith to lull him
self to sleep, than those of that exquisite
poem :" " 1t was exquisite to him."
said Mrs Garnet, Gas it delivered him
from painful thoughts, and sent him in
to forgctlulness. He told me that he
seldom or never got beyond

nsya a most extraordinary effect, pro.
duccd by electricity, has just happened
in one of the electric telegraph offices in
France. A gentleman employed in one
of the principal Offices was in communi-
cation with one Of his colleagues, when
the electric wire for the purpose Of
transmitting intelligence happened to
relax, and to come in contact, with his
arm. The electric current was passing
through it, and the employee sustained
a violent shock, which raising him from
his chair, violently threw him through a
window opening on a garden. When
he recovered his senses, he could not
recollect his adventure, and could only
be convinced of it by perceiving that
his hair and beard, which were pre-
viously of a beautiful jet black, had be-
come in various places as white as snow
1t dcvolves on scientific men to explain
this phenomenon.

Mrs: C, says DR.. Tyler, of delicate
constitution, when nineteen years of age,
was afflicted with cough, and her neck was
thckly studded with Scrofulous tumors.
Under the influence of free use of decoc-
ton of Rock Rose, she recovered her health,
and has not been afflicted with any such
symptoms since. The above is taken from q
work published by d. A. Tyler, M. D., of
New Haven, Conn, in 1916, and proves the
wonderful efficacy of the plant Rock Rose,
as cure for Scrofua.

had abandoned the use of tobacco forty
years ago. The inference is that he is

MISCELLANEOUS WRITINGS ON SLA-
VERY, by William Jay, contains much
valuable information in regard to this
foul stain on the fair fame of this coun-
try. The writings of Mr.. Jay are too
well known to need recommendation
from us. We notice that few pages
are devoted to an attempt to prove that
many of the slaves are white. We
should think so self-evident a fact would
hardly need proof; or, if it did we can
see but little benefit to be derived from
1t, for we must confess to being so
obtuse as to be unable to appreciate any
great difference in the degrees of right
between holding whites or blacks as
slaves The book is for sale by L. j.
