Rich American tapestry.

It is evident that tapestry is inter
estinc American ladies more and more
as ancient specimens are studied. Mrs
H. ]. Kimball, Of Lansingburg, n. Y,
hos knitted a piece of tapestry shown
in the Woman's Building at Chicago.
The scene depicted is that in Henry
VIII. where Cardinal Wolsey IS ar
ruing with Queen Catherine to obtain
her consent to a divorce. The tapestry
u worked with worsted and silk on
canvas. four feet seven inches by three
feet ten inches, the most gorgeous col
orinqs and effects being produced IN a
manner perfectly in harmony with the
dignity of the scene which the tapes
try illustrates. The figures include
Cardinal Wolsey, Queen Catherine
Annie Boleyn and attendants, the
Queen being represented under can
opy of rich silks, the Cardinal in the
scarlet robe and Annie Boleyn IN
nearl colored velvet dress, with tram
of crimson, satin lined. The marble
pillars, forming a part of the interior
of the apartment wherein are gathered
the figures, are striking in their nstu-
rnlness, as is the entire representation
In the finest part of the tapestry are
renresented 576 stitches to the square
inch. Mrs. Kimballs design was eyol-
we'd by herself; the faces alone have
been taken from paintings. Twenty
years have passed since the tapestry
was commenced, anu only within a few
davs was the work completed The
beautiful tapestry the owner charac-
terizes as her life's work. Its value Is
inestimable. for no sum could ade-
quately represent the vast amount OF
labor necessary to produce SO hnisneu
design. The intrinsic value OF the
tapestry is great. Tapestries have
been purchased for fabulous sums, even
approaching the prices paid for the
most famous paintings by the old mas
ters but this rare work of art has been
wrought that it may descend as an heir'
loom TO the members of the Immediate
family of the lady by whom it was de-
signed and perfected. This tapestry
will be draped with curtains OF ole
gold velvet and not framed, as IS usually
the course with works of the Sort th'
curtain being so arranged that the draw
ING aside of the drapings will disclose
the scene in such a manner as to giv'
the impression that the eye is looking
into a room in which are real persons

Wanted to Amuse the Boys.

George Butler, Canon of Winchester
Cathedral, was the son Of DR.. Butler,
headmaster of HarrC y. The boy
grew up tn be a digniiled and serious
man, a power in philanthropy and
the church. but that he had ademure
sense OF humOr is shown by one anec-
aote Of his earliest years Doctor
Butler wore fine suit Of black, with
knee breechcs and cloth gaiters, and
with his powdered hair was figure
to move any schoOl-b0y TO admiration
and Awe.
One morning little George watched
him, as he set out for school, and OBJ
served that his father wore one gal
ter. When Doctor Butler returned,
he said to the lad:
''You were here, George, when l
went away this morning. Didn't
you see that | had only one gaitcr:"
Eyes, papa"
Then why didn't you tell me?"
'Because," answered George, inno-
GENTLY, Il thought it would amuse
the boys !"

WASHING THE FACE.

Some complexion specialists say the
face should never be washed. At least
one woman in New York affirms that
she has not washed her face in seven
wears. She has beautiful skin, and
when complimented upon it, she says
"Ah, you should have seen my grand
mothers skin. When she was seventy,
it was like a rose leaf, and she had not
washed her face for twenty-six years.
Similar stories are told Of Madame
Patti and other persons of remarkably
fine compilations, but the truth OF
these is not vouched for by reliable au-
thorities
On the other hand there is woman
living in New York who makes a prac-
siee of washing her face every night
with soap ana not water. She is over
fifty years old, her skin is satin smooth
and the coloring as delicate as that OF
Young girl. A friend of hers, who Is
about the same age, and has a COM
plexion rivalling the others, puts only
clear pure water on her face, and has
not touched itwith soap in fully twenty
years.
The weight of evidence is with the
people who use soap, but all agree IN
saying that only the finest, purest soap
must be employed, and that every par
ticle of it must be rinsed off Authorl-
ties on the matter assert that the face
should not be washed oftener than once
a day, and that the water should never
be dashed over it, as is the delightful
if reprehensible practice OF most men
and some women. Very little water
should be used, and it should be ap-
piled with a soft cloth, a fine baby
sponge, or one of the high-prlced iacia'
sponges. -Harper's Bazaar

HrMANE WATERING OF HonsEs.

That horse should never be watered
oftener than three times a day is not
only mistaken idea but often an in
human practice. A horses stomach Is
very sensitive, and will suffer under the
least interference, causing a fcverish
condition. Keeping q horse principal
" on grain and driving it five hours
without water is like giving a man salt
mackerel for dinner and not allowing
him to drink before supper time.
If you know anything about the care
of horses and have any sympathy for
them water as often as they want to
drink. BY doing this you will not only
be merciful to your animals but bene-
fit yourself, as they will do more work,
look better and live longer. Ii you
are a sceptic and know more about
horses than any one else, You are posi-
tive the foregoing is wrong because
YOU have had horses die from watering
too much, and boldly say that agitators
of frequent watering are fools in youi
estimation and you would not do eucl
q thing.
let raoso, for n moment II an mi
NAL would have overdrank and chilled
his stomach if he had not been allowed
to get overthirsty. A horse is grea
deal like a man. Let him get over
worked, overstarved or abused, ant
particularly for the want of sufiicien
water in warm weather, and the conse
duences will always be injurious. Sen
sible horsemen in all large cities ar
awakening to the advantage of frequen
watering. Street car horses are watere'
every hour while at work. 1t is plent
of water that supplies perspiration o
evaporation and keeps down the ten
perature.
What old fogy methods amount t
may be seen in the change of medicf
practice to man. Twenty-Five yeal
ago a person suffering with fever c
pneumonia was allowed but little watel
and then it had to be tepid. To-da
the best practitioners allow their p'
tients all the cold water they can drin
and cold bandages are applied to r
duce and control the temperature (

Gold Nuggets.

One Of the largest and most re
markable shaped nuggets ever founo
was discovered in an Australian mine
In 1887. 1t was fat and almost the
exact counterpart in contour OF a
colossal human hand held open, witt
the exception of the thumb and fore
finger, which were closed together IN
a manner so as to make 1t appear
that the thumb was holding the fin
ger in place. Its greatest length was
twelve and half inches. 1t was OF
the very pureSt gold, with but a llt
tie of foreign substances adherlne
mostly between the "fngerSO, ana
weighed six hund ed and seventeen
ounces. The famous Lady Brassey
nugget, also found in Australia,
weighed flfty-one pounds OF pure
gold, worth 1925 per pound. In 1891
a nugget Of fifteen pounds weight
shaped exactly like cross, with the
exception of the light arm, was dls
covered in the BuriSs mine near the
same place.
