H0MESPUN LINEN.
The High Estimation in Which II Is
Held In EnroDe.
Correspondence Garden and Forest.


Correspondence Garden and Forest.
1t is almost with feeling Of veneration
that l now spread nay homespun table cloths
TO serve for dinner, says writer in Garden
and Forest. They arc the last of a truDkfu full
Of linen brought over the Atlantic thirty
years age. Throughout this long period
they have been in constant use, but now,
unless supplemented by newer fabrics, the
end is at hand. For more than fifty years
the hands that so willingly spun and wove
these threads for others use have been
resting in the grave-henee the sacredness
which attaches to these relics Of a former
generation.
In the German household the love of
linen is passion. During the French wars
under Napoleon, when from every town and
hamlet the terTor-stricken people fed be-
fore the approaching armies, before all else
they sought to save their many cheats of
homespun linen; and, when peace returned.
what had escaped the argus-eyed enemy
was tenfold more precious because Of the
horrors witnessed and the dreadful pangs
endured. And even to-day the German
woman prizes far above Tubies the piece of
snowy linen, the labor Of many happy
hours.
Here in this country the use and sale of
imported linens assumes yearly larger
dimensions. The people are learning 10
realize It's value and comfort as an article of
wearing apparel. The Southern product
the cheaper eotton-sapplies the worlds
demand. Why may not the North add to its
resources by reyiving this old and inlpotan t
industry, and raise at least sufficient fax for
hume consumption? The women. too,
would gain by its revival. Instead OF spend
ing time and strength upon the
almost worthless trash called bric-
a-brac, which cumbeTs rather than
adorns their homes, they might again
possess their stores of homemade linen,
which far surpasses in value and durability
the best product OF the machine. We live
only for day Why may we not go more
slowly and evolve truer prosperity, with
its resulting tranquility?
In European countries, when at certain
seasons the traveller turns his eyes over the
landscape, he sees dotted here and there
fields of biossoming blue, which ripple in
the summer sunshine like the waves of the
sea. There are acres of biossomng fax,
sawed and cared for with surprising in
terest by the members Of the household to
NJ Thieh il belongs.
During a lifetime of observation one sees
many changes in the customs and sentl-
ments oil people and nations. As in Bible
davs. there Is time for everything. The

To ths north of the choir is the Cha pter

surmounted by turrets and small spire.
Since the Reformation the choir has been
used as the parish church, and in 1872 was
reseated and restored by Sir j. Gilbert Scott
Twenty years later DIR. Rowlans Anderson
undertook to restore the rest of the cathed-
raj. assisted by the generous contributions
of the county families and many others, an
example that may well be followed in tn g
future. The inhabitants of Dublane will

Social conventions are the resuIt of the
opinions OF people living a long time aRp,
who succeeded in persuading other peopIe
that their views were sound and their prac-
tices sensible. 1t does not follow that
man was a fool because he lived a long time
ago. If Mr.. Biornson and DIR. Ibsen and
the rest could grasp the truth of this simple
proposition, it would do them, as the poet
said, IAN internal heap of good" Aud IL
they would write stories without irving to
teach anything in particular, and would
essay the not impossible task of making
them interesting without making them in-
decent, their stories would be much better
worth reading.

The madservants' vacation has become a
common enough thing of late years, es-

the easy irresponsibility and indolent phi

work when they have saved few dollars,
and enjoy months idleness among their
friends.

The work of restoring Dublane Cathedral
to its former grandeur and beauty las at
length been accomplished, and last week
the memorial stone was laid with Masonic
honors In the presence OF a distinguished
assembly. This ancient cathedral was
founded by King David j in 1140. 1t was
added TO and partly restored by Bishop
Clement in 1910. and at later date. during
the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, beau

Handle road, the water was so high
that for a long time it seemed certain
the railroad bridge would go, bnt 1T was
finally saved. At Callighsn's Crossing
the track was covered by land slide,
and another took place on the "Pewi-
XIV" near Weusburg. At Steubenville
the streets were deluged, In very much
the same manner as at Mingo, detailed
in the REGIstER yesterday, but no Sc
riouS loss was reported.
A washout ON the Wheeling and Lake
Erie at White Mans Leap, near
MingO, would have caused a disas-
ter had it not oeen for the timely warn
ing given the passenger train by
Matthew Kahn, Sr., daylight watchman
on the Pan-Hahdle. and Andrew Madi-
gan, Jr., G. e p. employee, who saw
the danger and stopped the train before
the washout was reached. There was
also another washout on this road, but
ID was repaired before train passed over
it. Information froIh along the line OF
the Wheeling and La Ike Erie is 10 the
effect that no further damage was done
except that two or three telegraph
poles were knocked id wn.

plying saws and axes all day, succeeded
i'm hosting out the big gangway
timbers, but their removal had
no effect in loosening up
the mass Of drift, which had been furth-
err amalgamated by the falling water,
and every stick removed cost good hon
est labor. At the south abutment of
of the temporary bridge there is big
lot of heavy drift, and how the old ram
shackle structure resisted as well as it
did is past understanding. The bridge
seemed much more shaky, yesterday,
than ever before, this being especially
demonstrated when electric cars were
passing. All during the day, but
especially during the afternoon, score
or so OF small boys roamed over the
drift searching for dead snakes, and a
great many were found lodged In among
the rubbish. Hundreds OF people were
about the locality all day.
Last evening at seven o'clock another
big rain storm came up from the west,
but 1t split before reaching the city,
about one-thrd going to the south and
two-thirdS to the north. Not great
deal of rain fell In the central portion
of the city, but at Martins Ferry and
above there was big rain, and consid-
cradle apprehension was excited. The
report in the city, during the evening,
was that much damage had been done
in the vicinity OF Wellsburg, but it
could not be verified, as the telephone
wire to Steubenville was down, and
Wellsburg could not be reached by tele-
graph. A Steubenvllle telegram said
they had rain there, but no loss re-
suited. No reports of damage could be
obtained in any other direction.

various problems noted were clear and
comprehensive. Outbucst OF applause
followed the delivery.
Partly in this line, yet at the same
time considerably removed, came Mr..
c. b. Sisler, who pictured morality In
Politics" and how this UOtopian plan
would work. He stated thar there is a
demand for the highest morality in pol
tiles. IL is safe to say that a majority OF
of those holding Office at present used
unfair means to attain their end. Money,
whisky and intimidation have figured
as potent factors. Internal or moral
decay produces disintegration and just
so sure as politics is allowed TO remain
in It's present corrupted condition. The
high standard of civilization is the index
TO the stability of the nation. Our cleo
lions must be cleansed and politics must
be placed on a higher plan. This can
be done by newspapers that WELD pow
eriul influence in all affairs. The
speaker advocated at some length the
purity Of the ballot. His rem hrks were
we'll received. He had fnb delivery
and made most pleasing appearance.
The last speaker on the programme
was Mr.. Hugh Houston, who delivered
an grafton on Social Unrest" He
started out to say that tue history OF
civilization is the history of unrest.
The speaker alluded TO the depressed
condition OF the laborer and the con-
tinued elevation Of the capitalist and
the effect il had on the body polite.

population? Notice the hordeS Of for

speaker made his statements VeTI en-
pbatic and was listened to ate htively
throughout.
There were three other graduates who
were excused from delivery, but who
prepared essays and orations jut the
same. The omitted ones were the Rise
