An Unsren Enemy

Is more TO be dreaded than an open and visible
one. That subtle and lurking foe, which under
the generic name OF malaria manifests itself,
when it clutches US in its tenacious grasp, in
the various forms of chills and fever, bilious
remittent, dumb ague or ague cake, can only
be efiectually guarded against by terrifying the
system against it's insidious attacks with Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, thorough antidote
TO the poison or miasma in the system, and a
safeguard against it thoroughly to be relied
upon. In the event of a malarious attack,
avoid poisoning your system with quinine, and
use instead this wholesome remedy, unobjec-
tionable in taste and far more effcacious than
any drug Use the Bitters for dyspepsia, bill
iousness, constipation, kidney complaints and
rheumatism

How to Feed Corn Fodder.

Correspondence National Stockman:
There is a great loss in feeding fodder
If not fed in the proper manner. / cut
my fodder on a hand feed cutter, cut
ting about half inch long. giving a
bushel of this cut feed to COW. ! cut
it on the barn floor. close to the NOW
hole, where few kicks with nv foot
will send it down into the feeding
room. Then | take common sized
bucket full of water and put therein
nearly pint of salt for fifteen head of
cattle, and sprinkle it over my cut
feed. Then l add nearly a peck of
mill feed, such as wheat bran and mid
dlings mixed; mix well together and
feed in trough. The cattle seem to
like it very much and eat it nearly
clean. In feeding corn fodder this
way there is no waste, the cattle get
all. Try it.

TIE EXPERTS AT WORK.

leaked out, and its nature and its his
torical Importance are such that it de-
serves to be chrOnicled as the planting
of a new industry in the land
During the year there were woven
by hand in this house the first tapes
tries that ever were made in this coun-
try. old as the art is in Europe, run
ming back beyond the record of time,
it had never before been introduced
into America. 1t is true that woven
cloth resembling tapestry has been
made by machine in this country be-
fore, but the first piece of tapestry
ever made by hand in the same way
that it is made in the famous Gobelin
works was woven in this oldfashioned
house on the Bronx.
The credit of the enterprise belongs
to a Mr.. William Baumgarten of New
York City. For great many years he
has been buying and selling tapestries,
and sending orders abroad for special
designs Like a true American he
came to the conclusion that the tapes
tries could be made in this country
just as well as in the republics and
mOnarchies of Europe So he went to
France and got five expert workmen
from the Gobelin works to come to
America and work at their trade here
Under their direction three looms were
built exactly like those in the Gobelin
works. A large stock of silk of all
imaginable shades made in this
country was purchased, artists were
set to work making designs, and every
thing was in readiness to begin the
work of tapestry making.
When you once know how to do it,
tapestry making is one of the simplest
things in the world. An oil painting
is made of the design that is to be
carried out. 1t is placed under the
cotton threads which run across the
loom, and then copied in silk threads.
If the design contains Il human figure
or any object that requires delicate
shading, an expert weaver can copy
two or three square inches day. The
work is to great degree mechanical,
but it requires a good eye for colors
even to the finest shades of difference.
The first piece of figure work that
was made took four months. 1t was

some emu, the last of pair of these
strange Australian birds which had
been kept as pets for more than
twenty-five years by a clergyman of
Essex. The death of the first bird, a
female, left its mate very desolate,
and, as often happens in such cases, he
slckened and seemed likely to die.
His mistress carried him dainties to
tempt his appetite, and also a daily
jar OF water. Again and again this
jar disappeared, and the lady was
much incensed against the unknown
person who made himself thus trouble
some.
Finally the emu retired to his shed,
folded his long legs and refused utter
~ to come out, until his master, in the
hope that the sunshine might even yet
do him some good, took him up bodily
to carry him out. Then the mystery
was solved. Under the bird were all

about two feet wide and five feet long,
and represented a woman holding
flowers afoft. 1t is said by experts to
be as fine piece of work of its kind
as was ever made in the Gobelin
works. Baumgarten has arranged
with an orphan asylum to take some
of the older boys as apprentices and
teach them how to weave tapestry. 1t
takes from one year to eighteen
months to learn it sufficiently well to
be able to copy designs. AS soon as
these apprentices have advanced far
enough to do good work, Mr.. Baum
garten intends to build more looms
and in this way he hopes the tapestry
industry will in time attain the posi-
ton here which it now occupies in

and one that will reach the remote

has completely met these conditions,
and that is klys Cream Balm. This
safe and pleasant remedy has mastered
catarrh as nothing else has ever done,
anc both physicians and patients
freely concede this fact.
