FUNNY SIGNS.

A CSNNEcT1cUT paper has an adver-
tisement of "a cottage to let, contain
ing six rooms and an acre Of land"
/. A WALL street (New Yorlz) druggist
has this sign in his window: "Cart
wheels, taken at par for ice-cold soda.
"KIcK the Printer" is the rather
startling sign exhibited at an office
near the big bridge in New York. But
it isn't an injunction, it is only q state
ment. The printers name is Kick.
Two SIGNS in Wall street, New York,
bear these inscriptions: "Spring lamb
Every scarce on Wall street now with
mint sauce (scarcer)." "Cigars for
broke brokers, five for twenty-five
cents"
THE signs Barber Shop" "Shaving
Parlors," "Tonsorial Studio" have all
gone out of date with q Pittsburgh
hair dresser who displays q fine ncw
shingle bearing the proud incription:
''Ihcopnilus BROWNE, Capillaire.''
.r "Boys who steal fruit here may ex-
pect to find Paris green in every pear"
is the forbidding sign which the owner
of a suburban orchard cruelty placed
on his wen-laden trees; and his fore
thought is rewarded bya liberal, un-
touched harvest. 8.

place for courtship; yet there seems
to be good deal of billing and cooling
going on in the Northwood ccmetary

hibited."

at this piece, confessedly the BEST thing
IA Spanish have been able to do, and then
glances overhead and thus gets the sug-
gestion OF h glory of that Alhambra
which the Moors lost to the Spaniards in
the gage OF battle, the Thought comes
strong that civilization suffered in that
defeat n Punishment of q race. This
thought is intensified when one takes a
look at the Moorish and Algerian pavil-
ions near by. Poor as these people are in
their African land, almost exclusively pas
toral, with tho yoke about their necks and
reverSion manifest IN every product OF
their hands. they are yet infinitely more
Ekillful and artistic than the Spaniards.
The Spanish exhibit is strong in leather
work. In saddles, harness ware, boots
and shoes, embossed leather for walls and
furniture, they touch q high note. Ii
ceramics they are lamentably weak. The
few specimens of pottery which they show
are Il and inartistic. There is no ex.
cuse for showing them at all. In point OF
fact, the art of clay-working has degener-
ated in Spain. Every other nation in Eu.
rope can excel the Spaniards In this noble
art.
To my mind the most interesting feature
OF the Spanish section is its laces and EN-.
broideries. One case holds several hun
dred handkerchiefs, napkins and other
smaIlartieles which the Spanish women
have produced with their needles and
tLcir bobbins. Tt is very beautiful. II is
rich in color, airy and graceful in designs.
The prices are reasonable, too. A display
OF SPANS mantillas is interesting. One
cannot call a Spanish woman before his
mind without having her full, profuse,
black mantilla in the picture. With her
it takes the place of the bonnet and the
hat OF other civilized nations. In its fab
rication she exercises her art and skill to
the utmost. 1t is her millinery, it is one
OF her chief destinations Withouta man.

Here Is a mantilla of black lace which Is
priced at S175, and a thing of beauty it is
One is tempted to hope that American
women will some day leave off a little Of
their endless millinery, lay and Otter
characterless, and adopt, at least for som
occasions, the graceful and becoming lace
head-dress. In Spain even an ugly woman
can make herself fascinating by the aid OF
a mantilla and a dark fan, and though
there are few ugly women in America the
airy, flowing lace mantle might prove q
valuable accessory to the charms of many
who are not gifted with actual beauty.
OF course IA Spanish friends are adept
in the manufacture of fans. They show
here an endless variety, principally Of the
medium grades, and they are deriving a
thriving trade I'm goods of this class deliv.

ton Of these articles.
A very good display Of textiles Is that
made by the associated manufacturers of
Tarrasa. Nineteen exhibitors combine in
one pavilion, and show as many as SOC
pieces Of woolens, no two alike. The tex.
ture OF these fabrics IL admirable, but the
designs are dull and the coloring for the
most part unsatisfactory. One Of these
houses made last year 10000 pieces of
wooden goods, with an average of $50 yards
to the piece. In cheap goods, silk and cot
ton mixed, selling at about 20 gents a yard

building up a large trade, especially with
South America, as they are in cheap silks

HOW OUR SAVIOR DRESSED
A Costume in Keeping With the Sim
plicity of the Man.

We are now in position to form a
substantially exact idea of our Savior's
dress. In it, needless to say, there
would be nothing of ostentation nor OF
unnecessary rabbinic regulation. He
wore the simple turban, kerchiet or
scarf wound in twist about the head.
On his feet were sandals bound with
thongs about the ankle His kittuna,
as he taught publicly and even appeared
preaching in the synagogue luke iv,
I6), must have extended to the feet
and been close fitting, with no loose
or hollow parts anywhere in it.
Whether Jesus wore neil or not,
we may doubt but in any case, be-
cause of this latter garments likeness to
the kethoneth, the difference in its APP
pearance would not have been great.
His tallith was ample and, as the keith,
oneth, made from fine linen, OF the
same material was the girde maybe, as
usual at that time, embroidered-and
who can say but by his mothers hands,
The color of these clothes was white,
the priestly color and the one denotng
responsibility, as purple did rank and
wealth.-CathoHc Magazine.
