TEXTURE OF Annoy.
Description of Beautiful Fabrics Made in
Indo-China.

lnuO-Cn1na.
Oae of the most interesting collections
| have ever seen is that of a wealthy
American in this district, which contains
nearly every textile fabric peculiar to the
Monaghan empire. Many of these are
familiar to Uncle Sam, and especially to
his daughters But large number are
comparatively unknown outside of this
country. One, which would strike the eye
Of Saratoga belle, is kno Hn as ''pine-
apple cloth and is made from the hairs
and fbres Of pineapple leaves.
These are gathered and pleached in the
tropical sun until they are dazzling
white. They are spun and woven by hand
and made into tissue lighter than taIle-
ton Or Bishops lawn, silver in sheen,
strong, durable and translucent if not
transparent. 1t has a gloss somewhat
like silk, but Is finer, whittier and sitter
than the latter. 1t comes from the Island
of Formosa, where it is made by both
Chinese and Indians. 1t costs from
twelve cents a yard upward according to
its width, and finish. A second fabric
worthy of mention is the Soratow grass
cloth. It is really a Chinese linen, being
made from the fbre of plan which is
very like that of fax. 1t is white and
strong as the latter, but much sitter and
harsher to the touch. 1t is employed to
make dresses but not underwear, handker-
chiefs or bedcIothes. It takes color well
and is dyed in as many primary tints as
there are In the rainbow. Chinese women
regard it as an ideal summer stuff, and
when wealthy enough have dozen suits
made from it In various collars. In price
it ranges from eight cents to thirty cents
per square yard.
OF comfort as we'll as beauty are the
cloths made from bamboo, rattan and
reeds. These are left In their natural
color, grayish yellow, In order not to I'M
pair their strength AID durability. They
are u ed in numerous ways. One IS for
sheets and pillow-cases In the summer;
allowing the air to blow ihrougn them
they are cold, clean and comfortable. II
washing them you simply rub the surf
with wet sp3nge. IN two minutes the
are dry and good as new. As they do not
absorb moisture, they are Invaluable TO
people who perspire violently In the q .
days.
A second variety is used for maxi =
shoes, slippers and hats. Ii bears roJ 6.
resemblance to Panama straw, cloth, -,
ing similar in texture. but more opeI.i,
woven, heavier and stronger. TIE labor
required in making is considerable a~d
the price-which is about twenty-five cents
| square yard.
The pl ettiest of all, are the silks and
| robes known as bamboo silk. In the SIM
plest work the; are strong textures whose
separate threads are as large as the famous
! gros grains of Lyons. They differ imme X
urably from the latter in that The threads
are ALMOST as far apart as in lawn or lace.
! The air blows through them SO readily

disease by keeping in healthy &C
ton the liver, stomach and bowels.
There's pleasant and sure way
Of doing it. It's with DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. They're the best

stipation, Indigestion, Bilious At
tacks, and all arrangements of the
stomach, liver and bowels. They
cleanse and renovate the system,
quietly but thoroughly. They reg
ulate the system, too-they don't
upset it, like the old-fashioned pills.
These are purely vegetable and per-
fectly harmless. One "Pellet" a
dose. They're the easiest to take,
and the mildest in operation-thc
smallest in size, but the most eff

They're the cheapest pill you can
buy, because they're guaranteed to
give satisfaction, or your money is
returned.
You only pay for the good you
get.
Can you ask more?
That's the peculiar plan all DR..
Pierce's medicines are sold on.

that even in the warmest weather 1t is
necessary to wear some finely woven un
dergarment The unpatterned goods al e
not in great vogue. Nearly all have pat
terms which are worked In at the loom on
the principle of carpet weaving.
There are no less than $500 different
styles known to the weayars of this clcth
They ars usually women and display mar
velnus ability in their workmanship. One
robe has a big dragon in pale violet upon
a dark blue ground upon the front breadth
and a second on the back. Their positions
ale so arranged that the lower edge of the
garment is almost one continuous color of
violet from the curling of the two tails
around the honr.
The effect is very striking. Still more
dazzling is a robe of which breast and
back are immense peacocks In full display.
In third are Chinese kingfshers which
have the sheen of humming-birds and
scarlet gold-fstes. A fourth has flowers,
ment are very costly. A simple dragon
robe commands $40 dollars and from this
amount the prices rise up to tt thousands
borders on the marvellous. A woman
skilled in the work is more than satisfied
on ten cents a day. It takes FIVE Of them
at least to attend to the dyeing, measuring,
spinning and weaving. Upon basis Of
sixteen hours day work, one, two or even
three years labor are required to produce
finished robe of the highest class. No
lace in France, Belgium or Italy can
compare with these fabrics in beauty
and splendor Some Of the designs were
created by artists before the time of Christ
and are still known by the names of their
inventors. Only rich man can afford to
collect these superb works of art, and only
a millionaire can hope to possess large
and handsome collection.-Edward Belode
in Philadelphia Times.

THE STOLEN HORSE.
The Clever Manner by Which Country
man Receivers his horse.


A countryman's finest horse was one
night stolen from its stable. He travel
ed forty-fve miles to horse market to buy
another. But 10 and behold! among the
horses offered for sale he discovered his
own. He at once seized it by the reinS
and cried out:
This horse is mine; it was stolen from
me three days ago."
The man who had the horse for sale said
very politely:
You are mistaken about il, my friend
have had the horse for more than a year.
1t is not Your horse, although it perhaps
looks like it.
The peasant quickly closed the horses
eyes with both hands, and Asked
Tell me, now, if you have had the
horse for so long time, Of which eye he
is blind?"
The MAJ, who had actually stolen the
horse, but had not yet examined it par
ticulally, was perplexed. However, be-
cause he was obliged to say something, he
said at random:
1.-The left eye
You have missed the mark" said the
peasant. ''The animal is not blind of the
left eye
"Oh!' cried the man, sit was only a
slip of the tongue. 1t is blind of the
right eye
The peasant uncovered the horses eyes,
and said:
1T is evident now that you are both q
thief and a liar. Look here, all of you !!
The horse is not blind at all. | simply
asked in order to bring the theft to
light
The people who stood round laughed,
clapped their hands and cried:
He is caught! He is caught"
the horse stealer was thereupon COM
pelled to return the horse, and was then
deservedly punished.
"However sly thief may be,

A MIghtx Good year Eor GOOD.

A Lock Haven paper gives an account Of
a fruit farm belonging to Mr.. George 5.
Good, about mile and half from that
place. out of 5000 peach trees planted,
more than 5000 are growing finely, and,
with the exception Of few recently planted
are all loaded with fruit Seven men are
kept busy every day in proping the trees.
Mr.. Goods system Of propping consists of a
centre pole lashed to the trunk Of the tree
and the limbs in all Directions tied up to
this pole by means Of tar rope. Some idea
of the extent Of this tying may be had by
knowing that more than $50 worth oftwine
has been used for the purpose An estimate
Of this peach crop is 5000 bushels and this
is rather an under estimate.
The apple trees are equally well loaded,
and the same system Of propping is used.
Choice wsgners, Baldwins and other vArie-
ties Of winter apples fairly cover the trees.
But for the props the trees would be all
broken down with the weight Of the fruit.
The pear and plum trees are young just be-
ginning to bear, yet they were loaded with
fruit.

Another very pleasing summer concert
was given last Saturday evening, under the
auspices of the NJ E Church, by Miss Name
Uhl, assisted BY strong force OF local and
visiting talent. Miss UhTs singing is al
ways enjoyed and her sweet, powerful voice
wss never heard to better effect, her most
successful number being the " Angels
Serenade," with Miss Jones, of Austin, Tex,
as accompanist, with the violin obligato by
Mr.. Wilbur L. Endsley.
OF the piano numbers, the Overture TO
Tampa" by Misses Baer and Jones, was DE-
cidedly the best, and Of the former it must
be said that she possesses q technique and
brilliancy Of expression rarely known in
amateurs
One Of the most artistic performances OF
the evening was Mr. Wilbur Endsley's vio-
lin solo, "Das Erwachen des LOwens," BY
A. Won Kontski, very ably supported by
his sister, Ms. Abner Mckinley. OF New
York, es sccompanist.
The programme was most deilghuully
varied by the recitstiOns snd the oontralto
solos Of Miss Smith, of Lynchburg, Va Her
talents are not only remarkable in themselves
but they have been well Drought out. We
have no hesitzncy in saying that the cities
of this State can furnish nothing that can
equal her in elocutions-y powers, while her
beautiful contralto voice would win aomira-
ten anywhere.
