Making Wall paper.

II Is very interesting TO go through a
wall paper factory and follow the processes
of manufacture. The designs are the first
things observed. Formerly there was n
scarcity Of these, but now there Is n food,
and n manufacturers must exercise much
artistic taste and business ability in max
ing selections. One was submitted TO q
New England manufacturer recently by a
woman who stated that IL was dictated 10y
spirits. The least that can be said of IL Is
that it was not desirable.
Various designers have different special
tics-some flowers, others architectural
ideas, etc.-and Of recent years architects
have devoted many of their spare moments
to originating all paper designs.
"A complete design consists of three pieces
side wall, border aud ceiling. Tho gen
eral width Of patterns of the side wall and
ceiling rs used in the trade and manufac
tured by American machinery Is IS inches,
and the length Of the repeat in tho pattern
is either llA or 14A or 17A inches, as
suggested by tho character of the design,
the shorter repeats being the most salts
factory 10 the trade in general.
Many of tho best effects are produced in
papers containing only four TO six colors,
but as many AS 90 or 20 are sometimes
used. Each color and shade in design
means separate roller to the manufac
turer.-Boston Herald.

Robbery of Plus vi by tho French.

Rome had called TO her service, for the
reorganization of her army, Provera, one
of the Austrian generals who had been
active in the last campaign. Joseph Bona
parte demanded his dismissal. This spark
fired the revolutionary spirit Of tho fe
determined Liberals at the capital, and =
rising took place in which General Duphot,
who was expecting soon TO become Jo-
seph's brother in law, was killed. The In
surgents were defeated and sought refuge
in the French embassy. The pnpal au-
thorities humbled themselves TO mako res
titution, but Joseph would not be appeased
and demanded his passports.
Within month, on Feb. 10, 179S, Ber-
thicr and his soldiers entered the Eternal
City and proclaimed tho Roman republic.
With no consideration Cor his estimable
personal character, the French agents
stripped Plus VI the aged and feeble
pope, Of all his jewels; his very rings were
drawn from his fingers by their hands.
The papal government was declared at an
end, and the cardinals were forbidden to
elect a successor. The pope himself was
allowed 70 withdraw to Siena; but, disap-
pointing his captors' expectations of his
speedy demise, he was removed at their
convenience from place to place, until at
last he died in the following year at Va
lence. Naples, of course, was in an agony
Of fear but her hour had not yet struck.
