John b. Ireland, who has travelled q
long time in India aud Cashmere, gives
some curious facts about, the manufac-
tufe aud cost Of real Cashmere scarf
or shawl. While in Cashmere he visi.
ted Mooki Shah, who is the best and
greatest manufacturer of shawls in that
city The factory was miserable dir
ty building; the workroom measuring
about 60 BY 80 feet Here be found
some forty men aud boys, of all ages,
from six to fifty, arranged in twos and
threes, at different looms, each one
having loom TO himself, for all the
most valuable shawls are made 10 looms
in small pieces according to the pat
tern, and then sewed together. The
pattern is not put in colors aud squares
like our patterns of worsted WORK, for
chair backs, seats, or slippers, but the
directions are written. When the pat
terms are made, they are all sewed to-
gethcr. AT some looms in operation
there appeared to be four Or Eve huu-
dred small pins OF wood with rolls of
different shades Of wooden thread, to be
used in different parts Of the pattern.
1t was astonishing TO see the dexterity
with which the small children worked
these nd.loons, and understood thei
written directions.
The traveller bought a shawl which
took fifteen men seven months 10 make;
the worknen received four and three
fourths cents q dayl Mr.. Ireland says
he cannot imagine where the ore, two,
aud three hundred shawls come FROM
certainly not frum Cashmere. Nook
Shah makes none that could be bought
10 London or in New York for less than
eight or nine hundred dollars. Our
author, upon application to the trade,
would have learned that large portion
Of the shawls sold as real India 6nes are
actually made in France, for the Thibet
goat was introduced into that country
more than forty years ago, and Cash.

siderable skill. There was a maguif-

most elegant specimen Of Gashmefe
work Nook Shah ever produced Thir-
ty men were kept steadily at work ou
it for nine months. That is, $3.50
days work we're bestow.d on that one
shawl. The price, When finished, vas
1000 rupees, or $3.50. Such a shawl
would sell for about $4,000 in London
or New York. So, the shopkeepers;
even if they do not Visit Iudia to make
money, are enabled to roalize little
when they stay ut home.

THE GIRL FOR ME,

Just fair enough 10 be pretty.
Just gentle enough to be sweet,
just saucy enough to be witty,
Just dainty enough TO be neat,
just tall enough to be graceful,
just slight enough for fay,
just dressy enough to be tasteful,
Just merry enough to be gay.
just tears enough To be tender,
just sighs enough to be sad,
Tones soft enough TO remember,
Your heart tbro' their cadence made glad
Just meek enough for submission,
Just bold enough to be brave,
Just pride enough for ambition,
Just thoughtful enough to be grave.
A tongue that can talk without harminR,
just mischief enough to tease,
Manners pleasant enough to be charm ing,
That put you at once at yonr ease,
Disdatn 10 put down presumption,
Sarcasm To answer fool
Cool contempt enough shown TO assumption,
Proper dignity always the rule.
Flights Of fair fancy ethereal,
Devotion to science full paid,
Stuh OF the sort Of material
That really good housewives are made,
Generous enough and kind-bearted,
Pure as the angels above
Oh from her may never be parted,
For such is the maiden love.

Russian Bristles.

The sources of the vast majority Of
the bristles of commerce are the inter.
mina6le forests of Northern Russia
Here, for thousands of miles 10 extent,
the land is covered with wood-pine
trees, larches, oaks, beeches, rowaBs and
other conc, mast, acorn aud berry-bear-
ing trees, the fruits of which form a
delicious diet for swine, which in a sort
of half wild state, aud more or less un.
der the surveillance Of swineherds,
swarm 10 prodigious numbers. 1t need
not be supposed that all these swarms
surrender their bristles to the bristle,
merchant, The pigs under culture for
the bristle crop are mostly privileged
race, that pasture near the great tallow
factories Of Russia, where the animals,
reared too far from the habitations Of
men to be consumed for human food
are boiled down for the sake Of their
fat. The swine are fed on the refuse
Of the tallow houses at certain seasons,
aud become in prime condition after a
few months feeding. The bristle. har-
vest is reaped, or rather is uproosed, in
the summer, BY process which reminds
one Of the quill pluekiug of the Lin
colnshire geese, but which is really not
so cruel as it appears at first view.
When the animals are well iatteued
after months of unlimited feasting, aud
their bristles are in the finest order,
they have to compensate their hosts for
their entertainment. They are then
driven in multitudes into kind ol
kraal, or fenced enclosure, where they
are crowded as thickly together as they
can stand, and perhaps more SO. Here
by dint Of kicking, striving, struggling
and scrambling together, they are sure
to get considerably heated, in which
feverish condition they are seized b,
the pluckers, who have then but little
difficulty in pulling up the bristles By
the roots. This is no sooner accom-
plishcd than piggy is allowed to regain
his liberty, aud scampers off again to hi
pasture. The spectacle is not a verl
delightful one, as may be imagined, no
is the extemporaneous concert, improv
ised on the occasion, very agreeable b
the ear. That the bristle harvest |
