weight of brain enjoyed by different

FUNDAMENTAL WEAVES.
Distinctive Methods Recognized in All Parts
of the World.

DISTINCTIVE MetnOOS ReCO2ntZed In All Parts
of the World.
Weavers recognize several ''funda-
mental weaves," which permit of in
finite combinations and patterns. The
'tabby" or 'taffeta" weave (from the
Persian tGftan, to twist or SPIN, max
ing plain cloth, is simple interlace-
ment of the welt thread over one warp
thread and under the next, requiring
but two harnesses, one up while the
other is down; this is the weave of
broadcloth, mousselines de laine, and of
the plain cOttons whence these mus
Inns of wool" came. The twill weave
produces diagonal cloth, varying in
pattern with the number of harnesses
and the order in which they rise. The
serge or prunel weave, in which three
harnesses are used-two down while one
is UPS the simplest twill; the cassi-
mere or Batavia twill has four harnesses.
rising in pairs, but in successive order;
the sateen, or doeslkin, often considered
separate weave, has at least five har-
nesses, of which four are down while
one is up, thus flush ng either the warp
threads or the wool threads chiefly to
the surface, and producing the smooth,
sheeny effect known as satin. Figured
cloths in infinite variety are produced
by combinations of these weaves
with each other or with plain ground
(taffeta) weaving. The cross or gauze
weave, said to have originated in GAIA,
is totally distinct from either the tabby
or twill weaving; in this, one of the
warp threads is half twisted or full
twisted around another warp thread by
help of ''doup LEASH" or extra har-
ness, and is then held in this position
by the shoot of the welt thread. The
double-cloth weave has additional warp
and welt threads so interlaced that a

latter case a kind of velvet is produced
by cutting the two portions apart. The

Nlctor1a's F'a severity.

The Duke of Kent. her Maiesty's
father, was, in his capacity as an officer
in our army, most severe martinez,
and on two occasions there was a mu-
tiny in the regiment under his COM
mand. On one occasion he was ILL
advised enough to endeavor to stop
drunkenness among his men by order
ing his subaltern officers when drilling
their companies to take an opportunity
of smelling the soldiers breath in order
to see if they had been drinking spirits.
The Duke of Wellington freely con-
demned this unfortunate order of the
royal Duke. 1T is on the face of it
ridiculous to expect officers to do such a
thing" he said one day to his friend
Lord Mahon; ''for, granted that his
Royal Highness' order is legitimate
one, and one to be carried out it fol-
lows that any subaltern in his command
who chances to be suffering from a cold
in his head is thereby rendered unfit to
&c on duty. "-London Figaro

ARoHBIsHor IRELAND's SERMON.
Praise for the Negroes-Tbere Is No

Praise for the Negroes-Tbere Is No
Color Line.
A large congregation assembled in st.
Augustine's Church yesterday forenoon
and listened to Archbishop Ireland s
sermon on Social Equality" as appli-
cable TO the colored people. He said at
all times he enjoyed the privilege of
speaking to mis- colored fellow citizens,
for in them he saw people seeking to
obtain their rights. He held that there
was no such thing as "color line" eX.
cept In the minds of those whose intel.
lccts were clouded by unjust reasoning.
The solution of the race question was
that they should look one another in the
face as members of the same family,
children of the same God, and all living
under the same teachings of religion,
reason, and virtue. Because OF the sim.
pie accident of color 1t did not follow
that they were to be treated on different
lines religiously and socially.
In later days the Church had taught
in all places that each man was child
of God, that he must recognize every
other man as a child of God, and his
equal, and unless they did they could
not be recognized by the Father of All
as their Father
In spite of certain men In Congress
"who babbled about the colored man
and talked sheer nonsense" the day was
near at hand when justice would be
done. Gods hand was uplifted in be-
half of the colored people. In conclu-
sion he said the Catholic Church was
the first TO take the colored people under
its protection.

Scientific Boxing Matches.

IF you want to sec scientific and
clever boxing matches, go to Herman S
Theatre this week" Thus spoke a
well known local sporting man this
morning. The contests will be between
Jack Fogarty and Jimmy Ryan and all
comers. Fogarty fought terrific
battle with Jack Dempsey, while Ryan
and the "Nonpareil" fought to a draw
twice. Both men are thoroughly scien.
tific and well trained, and promise to
do some pretty work. Some of Wash
ington's well known local sparrers have
declared their intention of worsting
these champions if possible. In addi-
tion to others to night a trial is prom
ised by an athletic Washingtonian,
who refuses TO disclose his identity.

LOCAL STOCKS.

Change-Notes and (iossip

TransactIons on the Washington Ex-
chaDge-Notes and Gossip.
There was an unusually large busi-
ness done on the local Stock Exchange
Saturday, and important advances were
recorded in several leading securities.
The first sale was of 10 shares of
Columbia Railroad at 70. The closing
bid was 70 and the lowest Offering at rs.
This stock is now rarely for sale, having
gone into strong hands, and its friends
say, and 1t is not doubted, that the road
Is making money. 1t only remains for
the directors to get through spending
the earnings for Improvements to form
an advantageous connection with the
Metropolitan or some other influential
road, TO obtain from Congress some
addition TO its route or to resume the
payment of dividends for the stock not
only TO be worth the price at which It
Is selling, but TO attain higher value.
There is a possibility that all these
favorable conditions may be reached.
Another small lot of Washington Gas
stock came on the market-but Ii
shares. 1t brought Az Larger lots
would command better price.
1t appears that Chesapeake and Poto-
mac Telephone stock is not without
friends, for on pretty free selling of
this valuable stock there was not only
no secession in price, but a steady adj
vance. For IL shares 70I was paid, 5
brought 70l, 12 708 and 20, the largest
lot offered sold for 70J, an advance over
the first sale of Z. The stock was then,
as If to retard further advance, offered
at II.
The apparent weakness of American
Security and Trust stock for several
days appears to have been a delusion
and sham to frighten timid holders
into letting some of their accumulations
go, for on sale of $50 in lots of 25
shares the price rose II per cent, from
495 to sol. As indicating that larger
lots are wanted, an offer to sell at the
close at 50l was made.
A mere recounting of the sales of
Graphophone stock is all that Is neces.
sary. Those who know the value of
the stock want all that the market can
produce, and will thank the general
public to stand aloof. For 30 shares
13R was paid; 90 went for 13f; so, 1873;
70, 1884, 100, 135; so, 144; so, 14g; 80,

He is Sadly Changed

said well-known citizen to Critic
reporter, land saw Frank Ward for the
first time since his incarceration.
never saw such a complete wreck in all
my life. He is mere shadow of his
former self. His eyes are heavy and
dull and his general appearance is that
of man who has lost his last friend.
This latter is not fact, however, for
the reason that not day passes that
some one of his friends does not call
and offer sympathy. His noble wife
and little son, Frank, are also at his
side every day. don't understand
why the authorities have not called his
case before this. Unless they try him
soon, it is my candid opinion they will
not try him at all.

A DANGEROUS BUILDING.
Fears that 1t Will Collapse and Caus
Great Damage

Reports gained circulation yesterday
that the building at Nos. 405 and 407
Seventh street, which was so badly
damaged by fire on Friday morning,
was in dangerous condition and liable
to collapse at any time. The first alarm
was given out by Fritz Trede who was
fearful that in the crush, should it
come, his building would be damaged to
a considerable extent.
Chief Paris and Building Inspector
Entwisle made thorough investiga-
tion and came to the conclusion that
the building was so badly gutted that
1t was liable to fall at any moment.
Steps will Immediately be taken to
either brace up or tear down that part
of the structure considered dangerous.
