Somc recent improvements IN looms arc
to be noted. Among them is an ingenious
method of SO constructing the warp divid-
Ing fods for weaving t'lat they will not
twist and skellow, causing uneven faced
cloth to be woven, the rods being also in
sured against being cut by tho warp pass
ing goyor them and forming narrow grooves
Which break tine yarn and causo defects in
the fabric. Heretofore dividing rods of
wood have been used for separating the
warp threads, these being liable, however.
to get cut OF shape by the action of damp
atmosphere. To remedy these defects the
rods arc formed of light metallic tubes,
supported in any convenient manner
Such tubes, being unaffected by tlampness,
aro NOT cut by the stretched warp threads
and on account of their hardness and
smoothness tho drag on the warp thread
is reduced and the liability of breakage
mini,nized.-Newf York Sun.

A TINY SPHERE OF WOOD.

The Most Remarkable Specimen of Carving
In the World.
One of the most remarkable specimens
OF minute carving in the world is to be
seen In tho East India museum in Salem
Mass. 1t Is supposed to be the work of
some pious monk of medieval times 1t
was taken from monastery during some
OF the wars between the italian states and
somehow fell into the hands of a Salem sea
captain, who presented 1t to the museum
In the early years of tho present century
1t is sphere Of box or sandal wood, less
than inches in diameter, divided into
two hemisphoros, connected by hinge
carved in the wood itsolf. The outside is
beautifully carved inn gcometrical design.
Each compartment contains between 80
and 60 figures. Tho upper one represents
the heaven of the artists Imagination
The Virgin Mother is enthroned in tho
CENTER and around her are grouped In con-
centric circles, to tho back of the hollow
hemisphere, apostles, saints and angels,
every facc and attitude expressing ecstasy
and alteration. To the naked uye nothing
Is discerniblo but what resembles delicate
frostwork, but with strong magnifytng
glass all becomes clear Tho lower hemi,
sphere represents the day of Judgment and
the punishment of the wicked The Say
iour is seated on an arch representing tho
vault OF heaven. His attitude indicates
the awful duty he is fulfilling.
-Four angels in front arc the only winged
figures in this hemisphere. On the right
are five female figures, the most promi-
nent of which is the Virgin, crowned as
before. On the loft is tho same number of
male figures. Tho interior and lower part
of this hemisphere is appalling. Tho art
list has embodied the terrific images of
Dante's inferno. Numerous figures,
among thom crowned heads and bishops,
are seen rising from their graves. In the
foreground the gates of hell are yawning
for their victims. Grim visagcd demons
are everywhere busy dragging the impeni-
tent to their places Of punishment. 1t is
not pleasant to look at, but the wonder is
with what Instruments the work was
wrought and what eyes and hands could
have guided them.-St Louis Globe. Dem

A FAMOUS GAME OF POKER.
An Attempted Joke That Nearly Preoipi-
tatod n Serious Row.


During Senator Squire's term in con-
gress q small party gathered at John
Chamberlin's one evening to indulge In a
quiet, friendly game Of draw" Besides
Senator Squire there were United States
Senators Farwell of Illinois, Aldrich of
Rhode Island and the late Senator Plumb
OF Kansas. 1t WINS an assemblage Of big
brains, big money and great nerve, and
tho game was naturally u very Interesting
one. The game proceeded in a very placid
way, without any distinctive feature other
than the Kansas senator's hard luck. No
matter how good his ''hands' were he
was sure to be beaten. The game had
gone on for some time when a messenger
oamo to the door and inquired for Senator
Plumb, saying he was wanted on impor.
tant business. Tho senator excused him
self and said he would be back presently.
While he was gone his friends jokingly
oonspired to put upa "hand" on him
They arranged IL so that Plumb would get
four jacks and Farwell four queens
Knowing that the former was stiff player
they anticipated tho heavy betting with
much glee and the senator's crestlallen re.
lief whom they would subsequently explain
the practical joke played on him. Sena-
tor Aldrioh was the dealer.
The Kansas senator returned in very
short time and resumed his place at the
table. The others all wore their most scri-
Gus aspect. Tho cards were dealt as ar
ranged by tho senatorial conspirators.
Senator Plumb held three jacks pat" and
called for one card. Aldrlch dealt him
Jack from the bottom of the pack, and
Senator Plumb saw It,
In an instant he was, on his feet, boil
Ing with rage The others tried to pacify
him, but he only became the more infuri-
ated. The others grasped him by the arms
and supplicatcd him to be quiet, explain
ing that it was all joke that they intend
ed playing on him, but the Kansas sena-
Tor, who was very serious man, would
not sec 1t in that light.
The game naturally broke up, leaving
Che participants in anything but joyinl
mood. Further explanations were subse-
quently nade to Plumb, but ne would not
forgive Aldrich and never spoke to him
Afterward, though their official duties fire.
qucntly brought them together in the SEN
ate.
From that night Senator Squire made
up his mind to quit poker. IF, said he
to my informant, "a small game like thai
cnn arouse such bitter hatred and enmity
among friends, never want to play it
again. New York Herald.

A Reading Idea For Invaiids.

To make an envelope library take 10
envelopes, and put either n short story, an
essay or illustrated article In each, writes
Rose Crosby in an article describing an
envelope library In The Ladies' Home
Journal. Lay the envelopes lengthwise
beforc you, and rule off space at the top,
In which to write tho words, Envelope
Library No. 1, Envelope Library No.
2, - and so on through the series Of 10.
Rule off space at the bottom in which to
write the name of the story or article and
tho authors name.
Whom the envelopes are filled, tie the 10
together with a dainty ribbon and send
them where they will do the most good.
For use in hospitals these dainty pack
ages of stories have proved very satisfac-
tory. Weary convalescents, and especially
those never visited by friends, are not only
pleased with the gift, but are relieved from
ths fatigue that accompanies the holding
Of heavy book or magazine.
