of Carpets Explained.
By placing brussels and tapestry
carpet side by side clearness and
sharpness are noticed about the brussels
carpet which are absent from tho tapes
try In the latter there is mistiness
about the colors. and the pattern lacks
that sharpness and delioacy which char
acterize the former. This is due to the
process of manufacture. A brussels is q
yarn dyed, and q tapestry may be dc.
scribed as printed fabric. but the print
ing is done upon the yarn before the
process of weaving.
The whole method Of manufacture is
most ingenious. In the making of five
frame brussels no fewer than l, $50 ends
of face yarns are required for the weav-
ing Of one piece of standard quality,
each frame consisting of 256 bobbins,
and 256 ends only can come to the face
at each pick Of the pattern. Therefore
l.024 ends Of yarn are hidden in the
body of the fabric. There are many
qualities Of tapestry, but in the produc-
tion Of the standard quality only 216
ends Of face yarn are required, instead
Of 1, $50, which shows at once that the
brussels carpet hes the great advantage
Of being thicker, softer and altogether q
more durable cloth apart from other ad-
vantages which it possesses There is q
limitation In the number OF oolors used
in brussels In tapestry there is no
limit In the brussels the whole Of the
colors used show more or less striped
appearance at the back Of the fabric.
In tapestry they do not show at the
back at all. This fact is made use Of by
householders in purchasing carpets, this
being about the only way the average
person can tell the difference between
them. In order to pass off tapestry as
brussels some ingenious makers have
resorted to the stripping in a regular
manner Of the backs of the former. The
stripy effect in the latter is broken and
irregular A casual observation Of the
clearly defined character of q brussels
pattern should enable buyer to distin-
guish between the two fabrics. Fur

1t cannot be denied that the
war cloud which hangs over the
world at present is getting darker
and darker. IL is a historical
fact that the end of each GEN.
tury has always been fraught
with bloodshed and strife, in.
ternally as well as externally.
The great powers of Europe to-
day are making and unmaking
alliances of all kinds. The fact
is that diplomacy to-day is using
every means to postpone the day
when the crash must come and
gain time for the different coun-
tries to prepare themselves for
the gigantic struggle which will
and must take place before the
present generation dates its let
ters in the year 1900. Turkey
is threatened from all sides. The
Russian bear is extending his
claws and licking his blood
thirsty tongue towards the East
and South in anticipation of
gain. The passive and cold
brother nations who inhabit the
Scandinavian peninsula are
now glaring ferociously ready to
spring at each others throats.
Germany, under its impetuous,
indiscreet imperial master, is
drifting into the deceptive mael-
strom of conquest, and war, in
which all past experience, all
knowledge gained through the
horrors of war are forgotten, and
where only false sentiment and
sham patriotism are ruling.
And while the giants get
ready for the great war their
leaders have realized one thing,
and that is, that no army will
have show, no militia a chance,
except provided with the indis-
pen-able bicycle. And no Won
der that the monarchial coun-
tries of Europe prefer the "Mon-
arch" to any other kind, and
supply their wheeling cavalry"
with that favorite brand,
We have watched proceedings
in the great countries with
great deal of care, and we have
secured the sole agency for Ha-
waii Of the Monarch Cycle. We
have realized that, not alone a
large stock is necessary, but that
a workshop, in which all needed
repairs can be done is in the in
terest of our patrons, and we have
established one above our stores
on Fort street. This "bicycle
infrmary' will attend to any
sickness" which the wheel
may meet through accident or
lack Of care. Our prices are far
below veterinary figures. We
fix the Monarchs sold by us at
cost price if ever they should
need it. We have everything
Oh hand and have secured the
services of a most experienced
bicycle man, whose work we
guarantee.
AS the bicycle is not only of
advantage in war but love, we
wish to call the attention of the
young boys and girls who have
