A Woman Who Is Respected.

"Our firm has travelling man whose wife is what is commonly termed terror. She regu- lates her husband in every particular. draws his salary and doles it out to him, comes in and raises Sancho with the house if he is out too long, and makes herself generally obnoxious All the men in the office are afraid of her, and you would laugh to see them all scatter off and get very busy when she appears.
 "Well, sir, this year the firm wanted to cut that drummer's salary down, and how do you think they did it? They knew his wife would make things lively if she knew his salary was decreased, so they fixed it up between them that his pay was to be reduced, but that his wife should draw the old amount, and that as the drummer has little bank account he would make matters square with the firm at the end of the year.

Tapestry was brought into general use
in western Europe, with many other
elegancies of life. by the Moors of Spain.
The oldest known specimen is the Bayeux
tapestry, an epic in embroidery, careful
" treasured for centuries in the cathe-
dral of Bayeux, and now preserved in
the hotel de vile of that place. Miss
Strickland says of this piece of work:
SIT is beyond all competition the
most wonderful achievement in the gen
tie craft of needlework that ever was
executed by fair and royal hands"
1t was done by Matilda of Flanders
wife of William the Conqueror, and the
ladies of her court. 1t is coarse linen
cloth, ga feet long and 20 inches wide,
on which is worked in wooden thread of
various colors a representation of the
invasion and conquest of England by the
Normans.
1t contains the figures of about 625
men, 200 horses, fifty-tive dogs, forty
ships and boats, besides a quantity of
quadrupeds, birds, trees, houses, castles
and churches, all executed in the proper
colors, with names and inscriptions over
them to elucidate the story. 1t is a
valuable historic document, as it gives a
correct and minute portraiture of the
Norman costumes and their manners
and customs.-W oman's Work

An Uncanny Lake.

There is in Missouri lake, perched
on the top of a mountain, its surface
from so to 100 feet below the level of
the earth surrounding it, fed by no
surface streams, untouched by the
wind, dead as the Sea of Sodom.
There is mo point of equal altitude
from which water could flow within
hundreds of miles, and yet it has q
periodical rise of thirty feet or over,
which is in no way affected by the
atmospheric conditions in the coun-
try adjacent. 1t may rain for weeks
in Webster county, and the return
of fair weather find Devils lake at
its lowest point while it way reach
its highest point during protracted
drought. st. Louis Globe-Democrat.

white ground. Then when the garment
is finished the edges have triple seal
Iop or sharp point embroidered in cot
ton of the same color as the figure, This
material, with its simple finish, is liked
for sack shaped chemises, for night
dresses and for drawers. 1t is seldom,
if ever, used for skirts.
The fancy for silk nightdresses still
exists, but as there always have been
women who would wear nothing but the
clear white lawn or nainsook, and as
these women are many, the makers Of
underwear are specially catering to
them. Very much more fine work, that
is, handwork. can be put upon a Main
sock gown than upon silk one, and the
needlowoman can make more fine tucks,
fancy stitches, gatherings, hemstitch-
ing and drawing of threads than ever
would seem possible. Mrs. Mallon in

The Mains of Modern Greece.

The costume worn by the Greek
women is seldom bought ready made.
1t is usually either made by the wear
ers themselves or has come to them
by inheritance. A handsome cos
tune is an expensive purchase. The
chemise, long enough to form a skirt,
is very richly embroidered about the
bottom in silk, and the two jackets
of white cloth are elaborate. These
are sleeveless, but fine pair of en-
broidered sleeves makes a separate
part of the dress. Silver ornaments
for the head, neck and arms, a red
apron, a sash, and a silk gau2e veil
complete the costume.
The last named itoms are luxuries,
however, and vary according to the
means. Rich maidens braid long
strings of coins into their tresses, and
at a country dance, where the cos
tune is seen in its full splendor, the
ewes of the sutton are as much at
tracted by the back view as by the
face of the fair creatures. For every
day use nearly all women of every
ago wear handkerchief over tht
head, and they are for the most par
manufactured in Greece Athens

MacaulaY's Power.

Impressions are conveyed in writing
by appeals to the imagination of the
reader The successful writer brings "a
picture before the mind, and the related
knowledge may be like the frame to set
off the picture, or like new rays of light
thrown upon the canvas to give it vivid
ness The value of this related knowl-
edge is well illustrated in MScaulay's
description of the trial of Warren Hast
ings He throws upon the description
the light of his vast erudition. He slim
ulates the Imagination by all these side
lights, enchanting the attention, so that
we see as in picture that brilliant as
semblage, and we are filled with admira-
ton of the scene.
He conjures up the historian of Rome
and the eventful history of the eternal
city; he reveals his acquaintance with
art in his happy allusion to Reynolds,
and his acquaintance with the recent
achievements of literature in his famil-
iarity with the researches OF Parr, at
that time famous; he displays his
knowledge of the inner workings of
society and the intrigues by which
thrones are shaken and dynasties are
overthrown in his reference to the salon
of Mrs. Montague and the fair haired
daughters of the house Of Brunswick;
and he shows his appreciation of the
drama by recalling Siddons, who, lin
the prime of her majestic beauty, looked
with emotion on scene surprising all
the limitations of the stage "-Educa-
tional Review.

A woman in this city has a certain
number of customers, all of whom are
persons of wealth and willing to pay her
well. She goes to the house of each
customer at stated periods and removes
all the furniture, curtains and pictures
from the drawing rooms. She then di-
reefs the cleaning of the rooms and the
furniture, taking care that the latter is
not scratched or injured in the handling,
and that all blemishes are removed by
careful oiling. All the furnishings are
then replaced according to her ideas. AS
she has excellent taste, she manages to
create good impression each time, but
never duplicates setting. She suggests
the removal of unnecessary pieces or the
addition of odd bits that will fill out her
plan, and keeps the customer Informed
in regard to the changes of styles. New

No organ of the body is liable to a
greater variety Of ailments than the eye
More than forty such diseases are emu
merated in medical works.
Some of these tend toward blindness,
partial or complete. Some are highly
contagious. Some are peculiar to the
earliest stages of infancy; some to old
age. Some are due to other diseases;
some originate with the eye itself; some
are the result of external wounds. Sons
are brought on by the improper use of
the eye; some by the abuse of other or
gans. Some are partially or wholly
durable; others are not.
AS we have two eyes, the loss of one
does not materially affect the other.
The double provision is wise and be-
nevolent one in the case Of an organ ex-
posed to so many accidents from with
out and so many diseases from Within
