Hand Weaving Revived.

Since the piano came into fashion hand
loom weaving as an accomplishments for
ladies has disappeared
In the old days ability to ply the shuttle
was regarded as great enhancement of
womanIy charms and was useful as we'll as
ornamental, for it enabled Penelope to out
maneuver the importunate sui ors who
wished her to forget her absent lord.
proposal will shortly be submitted to the
London school board for the revival of this
art among girls attending the classes under
Its care Preliminary Investigations have
proved so satisfactory that committee, of
which Lord Colchester was member, have
decided to recommend the innovation and as
ginning suggest the purchase of six
d-looms for use in girls schools.
The maidens will at first be taught mat
weaving with colored papers and gradually
introduced to the higher branches of the in
dustry.
AS an illustration of the useful work that
can be accomplished with the hand loom II is
stated that lady who possessed one unrav-
eled an Old travelling rug and from the best
portions manufactured thirteen articles of
wearing apparel for poor children in her viii
lage.
A distinct lesson in thrift can, it is claimed,
be enforced in this way. apart from the edu-
catlonal advantages which it bestows upon
girls.-London Telegraph.

COusinIy.

Among the hardest things which the infant
Prince Edward of the royal house Of England,
the little son of the Duke of York and heir
expectant to the throne. viii have to straighten
out when he is older is his relationship to his
own father and mother It Itconstitutes prob
lem such as is seldom found outside of pripcely
houses
1t is certain, however, that he is the third
cousin Of his father and also the second cousin
of his mother This makes his relation to
himself somewhere between that OF a third
and fourth cousin.
He is, as 1t were, his own double third
cousin-a relationship which will doubtless
take some time for him to comprehend.
Both his father and mother are descended
from George III of England. George IITs
son Adolphus, duke of Cambridge, had a
daughter, Mary, who married the duke OF
Teck and became the mother of the Princess
May who married the duke of York; and the
duke of York's father, the Prince of Wales, is
the great grandson of the same King
George Ill
The Young prince will have the right to ad-
dress either his mother, his father or himself
as 'my royal cousin and he may perhaps,
excuse any partiality for his mother over his
father by declaring that she is nearer rela-
ton to him than his father.
The princely families of Europe supply
many similar cases of tangled relationship,
growing out Of the successive intermarriages
OF cousins in nearer or remoter degrees

playmate and sweetheart. meeting that
night IN some vague way suggested to him
proyidential diversion. Nor was he deceived
by any gravity in the message; with his re-
membrance of Susy's theatrical tendencies,
he was quite prepared for any capricious tu-
tile extravagance.
'You are sure we will not disturb her?"
he said, politely.
Clarence led the way to the carriage. II
Mr.. Hooker expected him during the journey
TO try TO divine the purpose of Susy's mes
sage he was disappointed. His companion
did not allude to it. possibly looking upon 1t
as a combined theatrical performance. Clar-
ence preferred TO wait for Susy as the better
actor.
The carriage rolled rapidly through the
now deserted streets, and, at last, under the
directions of Mr. Hooker, who was leaning
half out OF the window, it drew up at mid
dle-class restaurant. over whose still lit and
steaming windows were some ostentatiously
public apartments, accessible from a side en-
trance.
AS they assembled the staircase together it
became evident that Mr.. Hooker was scarcely
more at his in the character of host than he
had been as guest.

shoulders lifted. her small hands and white
teeth both tightly clenohed, and took stop
toward him.
Even in her attitude there was reminis-
cence OF her willful childhood, although still
blended with the provincial actress whom ne
had seen on the stage only an hour ago.
Thoroughly alarmed at her threats, in his
efforts TO conceal his feelings he was not
above weak retaliation.
Stepping back, he affected TO regard her
with critical admiration that was only half
simulated, and said with smile: Very well
done-but you have forgotten the tiag." She
did not finch. Rather accepting the sarcasm
as tribute to her art, she went on with in
creasing exaggeration:
"Ao, it is you who have forgotten the flag
forgotten your country, your people, your
manhood everything; for while you are
standing here your wife is gathering under
her roof at Robes gang OF spies and traitors

Yes, you may smile your superior smile,
