THE TArIN OF PALESTINE
Villa. Kind Of Wine Was Used 1t the Last
Support

That eminent Jewish rabbi. the Rev. Dr.
Isaac NJ. Wise OF Cincinnati. has undertaken
to onlighten Christian clergyman who had
said that the wine which Christ drank at the
last supper. in accordance with the Pesach
law of the Jews. could not have been ferment-
ed. because the Jewish law prohibits the use
offermented food and drink on holy daya
Rabbi Wise proves that this Is IN error. He
quotes from the original text OF the Scriptures
various passages which show that the bever-
ago used on that occasion was the intoxicating
lHnia wine. not 7hirosh. which is the fresh
juicc Of the grape. In the Hebrew language
unfermented wine cider 10 Thirosh. while fer
mented wine is Yayin. In the Greek or

TINE COST OF SILKS.
How 20 Pick Ont Good Pieces-some OF the
Tricks OF Manufacture.


Some silks sell for dollar yard others sell
Tor ton dollars. on account OF two things, tho
quality OF the silk thread and the amount OF
that Silk. The raw silk rs It comes from the
cocoons 10 OF very different kinds. Some OF it
10 long and even and smooth. While inferior
qualities are rough and brittle and in
short lengths. Tho poor qualities do not stand

worth so much money. arc utilized for the
cheaper grades Of silk The loop. glossy
threads 60 into the bes. silks. and because in
these beauty is sought before cheapncss. a
greater amount OF silk thread Is put into q
ynrd-that is. the silk 10 heavier.
Another way In which the expense OF a silk
Is decided Is by the quality Of the filling that is
used ini Ills no secret that a large number
OF the medium priced silks are filed with cot.
ton or with linen. They give additional weight
without commensurate expense. II tho filling
be Of silk the price Of the silk is largely in.
creased. One firm Of American manufsc-
turers has recently adopted the plan OF using
the waste silk. that Is. the short rough threads,
for filling. making an all-silk fabric that will
not turn brown. as those that are filled with
cotton do and yet is not very expensive
The cost OF putting brocaded figure to a
plain background varies greatly with tho
material used for the brocade. tho number Of
colors used in the figure. and the elaboration
OF tho pattern The simplest lrocaded figure
