How Hair-cIo tn l. Made.

Many people understand. Of course,
how hair-cloth is made. but for the
edification Of those who do not We will
explain the process. In the first place,
horse-hair can not be dyed. It repels
coloring matter, 30 to make black cloth
it is necessary to secure natural black
hair. The horses. in many cases abso-
lutely wild. unrestrained, are regularly
coralled and shorn. OF course, black
hair is preferable, butssometimes gray
stock is utilized. Not only the taile
but also the names are cut; the hair IL
punched. These punches seldom con-
tain hairs Of less length than two feet:
some are even three and one-half feet,
and the thickest Of the punches IL
usually two or three inches. The hair
cloth looms are provided with what We
may call nipper, In place of shuttle,
and the nipper is SO finely actuated
that it travels across the warp ano
seizes from the punches one hair only,
the jaws of the nipper being too fine to
grasp more than one. and carries It
across the weft threads, dropping II
into It's exact place. The action Of the
loom mechanically forces the hair next
to its predecessor. the warp crosses
upon it, snugly holds it in its place,
the nipper travels back and setzes am
other, and 80 on and on. The delicacy
and almost human accuracy with which
each separate hair IL placed between
the warp threads IL really incredible.

JEWS IN JERUSALEM.

Their Condition Worse Than That Of Any
Of Their Race the World Over.
The Jews Of Jerusalem have many
paupers among them and their con-
dition is worse than that OF any Of their
race the world over. The numbers
who have been forced here by persecu-
ton are supported almost entirely by
the different Jewish churches over the
world and the number OF different de-
nominations of Jews and Christians
who are 90 supported has made Jeru-
salem = city Of mendicants. At certain
hours OF the days bread is given away
al certain places and the people come
to these in crowds. The Jews them
selves in the fewest OF cases change
their religion. but the different demon.
nations Of begging Christians move
about from church TO church as the
supplies rise and fall. just as the bad
boy changes his Sunday school accord
ing to the prospects of presents at
time Of Christmas. Such giving has
made Jerusalem the hot-bed for the
propagation Of beggars, and this Is true
Of other people than the Jews. The
number Of alms-takers among them has
made the Jerusalem Jews, as q class,

pearance and they live in dirt and

"But never heard you mention his
name before"
s.Indeed!''
This dialogue had been conducted
with an evident anxiety on the one
side, and reserve on the other. by no
means characteristic of the speakers.
Jack Rivers had always been frank
ness itself, and Dolly the most light
hearted and unsuspicious of wives.
Their married life. indeed. had been
one Of unalloyed happiness. though
undertaken against the advice of all
their friends and relations.
Dolly's father had been furious at her
engagement to ''beggarly bankers
clerk" and had refused to attend her
wedding. or to give any assistance
toward the young peoples housekeep-
ing expenses.

whole concern"
In spite. however. of poverty and
isolation, the young wife had never re.
GREETED her marriage, nor considered
herself other than the happiest Of
women, till within the last few weeks
preceding the above conversation.
The last few weeks!
When and how Dolly's misgivings
were first aroused, she scarcely knew,
but at the time when she put the ques

the specialist, they had already as
sumed definite form.
She felt convinced that Jack had
something on his mind. and she, more
over, suspected the cause of his trouble
1t was not only that his habits and
manner had gradually changed; thai
he omitted the customary little atten

Brighter than the stars that rise
In the dusky evening skies;
Browner than the robins wing.
Clearer than the woodland spring.
Are tho eyes Of Baby Bum!
Winsome Baby Bum!
Smile, mother, smilei
Thinking softly all the while
OF tender, blissful day,
When the dark eyes so like these
OF the cherub on your knees,
Stole your girlish heart away.
OH the eyes Of Baby Bum!
Rarest mischief they will do,
When once old enough to steal
What their fathers stole from you'll
Smile, mother, smilel

Milk-whitc lilies half unrolled,
Set In cslyces of gold,
Can not match his forehead fair.
With its rings Of yellow hair!
Scarlet berry cleft in twain

For the little one asleep
With his head against your breastt
Never in the coming years,
Though he seeks for 1t with tears.

Oil the brow Of Baby Bunni
Oil the scarlet mouth Of Bunni
One must wear It's crown Of thorns.
Drink its cup Of gall must onei
Though tho trembling lips shall shrink,
White with anguish Is they drink.
And the temple sweet with pain
Drops OF blood like purple rain;

Not the softest, faintcst glow
OF the sunset on the snow,
II more beautiful and sweet
Than the rose-pink hands and fect
OF the little Baby Bum
Winsome Baby Bunnl
Pray, mother, pray.
Feet like these may lose the way,
Wandering blindly from the right.
Pray, and sometimes will your prayers
BE TO him like golden stairs
Built through darkness into light
OIL the dimpled feet Of Bunni
Hid like rose-leaves in your breastl
These win grasp at jewels rare,
But to find them empty air;
Those shall falter many day,
Bruised and bleeding by the way,
Ere they reach the land Of rest
Pray, mother, prayi
