Applique worked curtains are coming

used, interlaeed cord work Tor top frieze or

velours curtain in pistache or deadish green

finely embroidered reproduction of French
soldier Of the sixteenth century, with spear

heavily wrought in silver. The effect was
very strong. Another odd thing was an oak
colored velours with immense bronzed hinges
applleued on one side. These appliques
are frequently in reproduction OF bits old
tapestries, armoral designs, escutcheons
and chimerical figures and as the arrange

AMERICAS YOUNG MEN.
One Of Rud ar X pups's Observations While
Shooting Over America.

0ne Of Rud ar X pupg's Observations While
Shooting Over America.
1.-THE young men OF America" says
Rudyard Kipling in London interview for
the New York World, ''rejoice in the days
of their youth. They gamble, yacht-race,
enjoy prize fights and cock fights, the one
openly, the other in secret; they establish
luxurious clubs; they break themselves over
horsehesh and other things, and they are in
slant in quarrel. At 20 they are expert
enced in busin ess embark on vast enter
prises; take partners as experienced as them
selves, and 90 to pieces with as much splen-
dor as their neighbors.
Accidentally 1 may mention that nine
American youths out of teH are heavily
handicapped by the abnormal weakness OF
their heads. This is supposed to be due to
nervous and highly strung organization,
and in California, at least, the brilliant dry
ness OF the air lends color to the supposi-
tion. Phlegmatic and spiritual, however,
they manage to get flushed, affable and
drunk on astonishingIy small quantities Of
liquor.
1.-THE American nation gets drunk by
easy stages. A man takes q nip here and
nip there in the morning until, by luncheon
time, while not really drunk, he is in a con-
dition that no business man ought to be
until after dinner. don't object to almost
continuous beer-drinking as we see it in
America. A man will die Of dropsy rather
than drunkenness II he drinks too much
beer. But the American habit Of taking
mixed drinks at all hours of the day is a
very bad one. In your climate a man can
keep it up for long time, till he suddenly

nedy simply to illustrate the possibilities
which are within woman's reach. We
hear every day in the week "what fields Of
labor can a woman occupy ?" and one can

are they willing to occupy practically,
earnestly and in business-like way?
In many cities decorative art rooms, in
quasi-comm mercial way, flourish on the un-
certain outskirts OF the upholstery trade;
but the workers hesitate over the palette
and brush, and gingerly decorate panels
and table scarfs in either fear or scorn of
more serious work. There is no one who
can more strongly enlist my sympathies
than the working woman, for the opposition
to her is more than mere surface indffer-
ence, but 1 must say that usually the OBJ
stacles to her progress are those of her own
making. 81 don't wish a woman to ad-
vance in my Office" said a well-known
decorator "I admit don't assist them to

and acquired SO great reputation that the
French Government secured control of them,
and from that day to this has conducted
them for private purposes. The subjects
were all designed by the most famous artists
of the day-Bouchor, La Pautre, Watteau,
Audran, Oudry and men of that stamp; and
some idea of the workmanship may be had
when tell you the weaving is all by hand
and SO fine that it frequently costs $500

Beautiful Ornaments for Ladies' Dresses
Made Without Finger Touch.
1t is very curious to an outsider TO watch
the operations of braiding machine. In
one factory there are some ten different
kinds of machines kept in operation. The
most curious Of all is machine whose
special domain is the so-called applique"
work. 1t performs three tasks at one and
the same time. When properly adjusted a
tiny knife cuts out, according to the pretty
design intended, the figures from the upper
layer of cloth, while simultaneously the
machine sews these figures on to the layer of
cloth underneath-the upper layer being
generally of medium thickness, while the
lower one is cloth o, the thickest, warmest
and most expensive kind, such as is suitable
Ior lady's cloak. The effect thus obtained
artistic arabesques, beautifully curving
lines, forming an inticate yet pleasing pat
tern, lying on the cloth underneath, is very
pretty indeed.
The beading machine, by means OF which
those most elegant ornaments on woman's
dress, those glistening arabesques of bead
ing, are put on, is another triumph Of me-
chanical genius. The same may be said Of
the Ieather-edge machine, which does the So
called sunbeam" and "rainbow" work,
embroidering the shades, which are grad
uaIly toned down; or the cornelly machine,
which does the cording, and still more so Of
the soutache machine, which does the
simplest and yet of one Of the most effective
STYLES of embroidery.

Within the last few days the trustees of

of Chinese bank note, which was issued
from the Imperial mint just 300 years be-
fore the circulation Of the first pauer money
in Europe. Whatever doubts may attach
to the priority of certain other inventions
claimed by the Chinese, it is impossible to
deny that they were acquainted with the
art OF printing many centuries before the
days OF Gutenberg. According to native
records, the art OF printing was in use in
China in 593 A. D., but it does not appear
to have been employed in the preparation
Of bank notes until the ninth century.
From that date notes were periodically
issued until the middle Of the fifteenth
century, when the practice fell into disuse,
and aaonly revived 10 or 30 years ago.

The Meteorological Society Of Berlin has

separated stations during the summer. If
the plan proves successful, it is hoped to OBJ
tain some idea of the special and dimen

1t may be recalled here that the late NJ
de la Rue made some interesting calcula-
tions in regard to the force exerted by a
lightning fash. With the battery he used
he found that potential of 800 volts was
needed to produce discharge through one

motive force requisite to produce a flash of

BETTER FoREG0 MEAT.
Danger OF Poisoning In the Hot Weather OF
This Climate.

Boston derhlusl
Considering the scarcity Of ice, also the
excessive meat eating habit of our people,
alimentary troubles will doubtless be more
than usually prevalent during the present
summer. Meat spoils very quickly In this
climate in hot weather, and poisons are then
developed in it which cause vomiting and
purging. Some people are more susceptible
to these posons than others.
Those who cannot afford to keep their ice
chests we'll filled should buy fresh meats
only in small quantities. to be eaten at once.
A more economical and safer plan is to fore
90 meats entirely during the very hot
weather, and depend upon fruits and veg
etables. The vegetarian invariably suffers
less discomfor and enjoys infinitely better
health during the heated term than does the
meat eater,
