By placing a brussels and tapestry
carpet side by side a clearness and
sharpness are noticed about the brussels
carpet which are absent from the tapes
try In the latter there is mistiness
about the colors. and the pattern lacks
that sharpness and delicacy which char
acterize the former This is due to the
process of manufacture A brussels is a
yarn dyed. and tapestry may be de-
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 /, $50 ends
of face yarns are required for the weav-
ing of one piece of standard quality,
each frame consisting of 900 bobbins,
and 256 ends only can come to the face
at each pick of the pattern. Therefore
1924 ends of yarn are hidden in the
body Of the fabric There are many
qualities of tapestry, but in the produce
tion Of the standard quality only ZIG
ends of face yarn are required, instead
Of /, $50, which shows at once that the
brussels carpet has the great advantage
of being thicker, softer and altogether
more durable cloth apart from other adj
vantages which it possesses. There Is a
limitation in the number of colors used
in brussels In tapestry there is no
limit In the brussels the whole of the
colors used show a more or less striped
appearance at the back of the fabric.
Ia 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 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 brussels
pattern should enable buyer to distin
guish between the two fabrics. --Fur

The Imagination Potent Factor In Ac-
quiring Fatal Disease.
'Of the whole number of persons
supposed to die of disease, - said prom
;nent physician the other day, i should
say that at least 80 per cent are really
carried away by fear. Were it not for
this element mortality would be far less
than it is. "
In support of his statement he cited
various cases where the element of fear
had entered largely in as a potent factor
to persuade people that their time had
come. Presentiments, prophecies. pre-
monitions and general nervousness all
played their part Some years ago four
criminals, condemned in Russia to die,
were taken to a house and shown sew
erai beds. in which, they were told, a
number of cholera patients had died
In fact, the beds were new, never hav
irg been slept in. The criminals were
informed that they would be set at lib

Of sleeping several nights in the beds.

and went free. but the others developed
all the symptoms and died of Asiatic

RToderip and Sir Richard Owen, says
the latter IA his "Reminiscences, :"
walked together to Turner's residence,
which was slightly dingy in outward
appearance. When they arrived at the
door, they waited some time before their
ring at the bell was answered. At last
an elderly person opened the door few
inches and asked them suspiciously what
they wanted They replied that they
wished to SEQ Mr. Turner. The door
was Immediately shut in their faces.
bu. after time the person came back
to say that they might enter. When
they got into the hail. she showed them
into a room and forthwiths shut the door
upon them. They then discovered, with
some dismay. that this apartment was

and the shutters up After prolonged
interval they were told they might 20

required. He was painting several pic

the other and applying to each in its
turn the particular color he was using
till it was exhausted.
After showing them all that there was
TO be seen Turner vouchsafed the ex-
planation of the treatment which they
experienced upon entering the house.
He said that the bright light outside
would have spoiled their eyes for prop
erly approaching the pictures, and that
to see them to advantage an interval of
darkness was necessary. At this stage
of the interview Broderip had to leave
for some engagement, and then an event
took place which Owen declares that
none of his artist friends would ever be-
lieve. Turner offered him a glass Of
vine IL was while they were coming
down. stairs that he first discovered the
symptoms of an inward struggle going
on in Turner's bosom. When they were
passing ittl5 cupboard on the landing.
this struggle reached a climax Finally
Turner said, Twill yor-will you have
a glass Of wines'' This offer having been
accepted, after good deal of cropping
in the cupboard decanter was pro-
dnced, of which the original stopper
had been replaced by the cork. with the
remains Of some sherry at the bottom.
This Owen duly consumed and shortly
aftarward took his leave. with many ex-
pressions of the pleasure this visit had
afforded him and disturbing convio-
