A Sad Situation,
New York Fashion Bazaar.

New York Fashion Bazaar.
/ remember being taken by my
mother when was child to see q
poor woman who was dying of a can
Ger. The disease was eating it's way
to vital part and her doctor had
given her q month as her utmost
limit of life. She was preparing for
her end in a way that seemed practi-
cal and prosaic enough, but that
struck me as pathetic in it's self-for-
getfulness. She was sitting upin bed,
with basket beside her, finishing up
the family mending, showing her
eldest daughter-on whose thirteen
year-old shoulders the burden of
household care was soon to fall-how
to fell down seams in the little
brothers knee patches and how to
darn the heel of fathers sock
so that he would never feel
the difference. She had impressed
upon the girl how to make her ia
theirs favorite potato pone, how to
manage her young sister when she
got into the sulks, what to do for
her father when he had his periodical
fit of cramps-and everything else
she could think of that would insure
comfort in the humble home she was
leaving. She had all the work planned
which she would do during the short
span of life that was given to her.
Her burial clothes were folded away
in a drawer with sweet basil leaves
among them. was reminded of the
incident by reading in "a paperrecent-
ly of a man in Milwaukee who is pre-.
pairing for something that is even
more terrible than death-insanity.
+ II will be violently insane in few
weeks, and he knows it. Some time
ago his skull was fractured; gristle
| is fast forming about the cracked
| edges, which will surely press upon
the brain and make him a maniac.
He talks calmly and nationally Of
his approaching fate, and spends
every moment of his brief term Of
sanity in making provisions for his
family when he shall no longer be
able to care for them. 1t is a situa-
ton worthy the pen of novelist like
Daudet.

north of the city, which marks the
grave of the author of that famous bal
lad: Darling Nellie Gray" A visitor

ton on the stone that it is the last
resting place of Benjamin Russell Han

neglect shown it by all save few rel

of the forgetfulness of the human race.

by their vices before submitting, we
could better say that the soldier, who
suffered all the agony OF terror and
finally fed before the enemy, is more

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. 1t repe,s
coloring matter; so to make black cloth
it is necessary to secure natural black
hair. The horses. in many cases abso-
lutely wild. running unrestrained, are
regularly coralled and shorn. OF
course black hair is preferable, but
sometimes gray stock is utilized. Not
only the tails. but also the names are
cut; the hair is punched. These
punches seldom contain hairs OF less
length than two feet; some are even
three and three and a half feet. and
she thickness of the lunches is 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 and seizes from
the punches one hair only. the jaws OF
the upper being too fine to grasp more
than one. and carries it across the welt
threads, dropping it into its exact
place. The action of the loom mechan-
ically forces the hair next to its prede-
cessor, the warp crosses upon it, snug
" holds it in its place, the nipper tray
els back and seizes another. and so on
and on. The delicacy and almost hu-
anan accuracy w 18th which each sepa-
pate hair is placed between the warp
threads is really incredible. -Uphol-
