: Cashmere ShaMls.N

One day we went to town to visit a
lanufactory of Cashmere shawls. After
terribly unattractive approach, We
again clambered up some stairs and
Emerged into q large room, full of
looms, with about forty men all hard
ut work. One we especially watched.
He had in front of him nearly thou
,and shuttles Of different shades, and
,ut OF these he would select one
md thread it through as many of the
fine strands stretched tightly before
him as his pattern directed, and after
so doing he pulled toward him heavy
bar, which pushed the last little cross
thread quite tight, before putting in
the next.
In old days one man used to reat
,ut the pattern to all the rest, but
aow each has his own design on slip
of paper in front of him. 1t is said
that the wavy line, so often seen in
these shawls, was originally taken
from the curves of the Jhelum. 1t
took four months, we were told, for
Two men to do seven inchos of this
work, one yard wide, working from
in the morning till S in the evening
every day, so it was hardly to be
wondered at that two yards should
cost nearly $500.
AS we left the workroom, so glad tc
exchange its heated atmosphere for q
cooler breath Of air, it was impossible
to check the obvious thought of the
contrast such lives are to our own.
We mingled with the gayly-dressed
crowd gathered to see polo tourna-
ment, and our thoughts strayed back
10 that sitting room, with its ceaseless
nonotony and perpetual grind, where
men, more like machines, wove hour
.fter hour varying hues of color into
,ne harmonious whole. And yet the
I'D simile would also assert itself,
that we too, in one sense, are hour by
hour working in the tiny threads that

Is a certain indication of impure and
impoverished blood. If your blood
could always be rich and pure, full
of the red corpuscles upon which its
vitality depends, you would never be
weak, or
Nervous! Boils, pimples, scrofula, salt
rheum, would never trouble you.
But our mode of living, shut in ali
winter in poorly ventilated homes and
shops, depletes the blood and there
is loss of appetite and weakness.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the standard
remedy for this condition. 1t purl-
fes, vitalizes and enriches the blood,
overcomes that tired feeling, builds
up the nerves and gives perfect
health. Read this:
"Our daughter, Blanche, when four
years of age had humor break out

physician pronounced eczema. If
the cold air reached her face or hands
they would swell up, look always
purple, and headed blisters would
form and break,

And T followed her in secret every

her face, and looking full at me, and
then she raised these hard fists Of mine
to her soft lips and kissed them. Yes,
she kissed them-and I!-how was I
to help it?-the touch Of those soft
lips broke me down smash. Yet she
was not angry-not offended. She
put out her little hands to me again,
meaning-I knew it-both to silence
and to comfort me. She did not
speak-for what could sLe have said
what could any stately lady such as
The have said?-besides, the steamers
engines were putting, and time was
up. She laid her head down on my
arm moment, and then left me with
rain of plying tears.
When the vessel had passed com
oletely out of sight, and its long
smoke line had died out from the sky,
I hurried back to Green Valley Creek,
and took up my work again. Hard
work is the best friend life has for US,
sometimes.
But I have never forgotten Mis-

I've trudged to the old spot often and

The Milwaukee Sentinel voices
truth that few papers have the
courage TO utter, but which Is recog-
nlzed by many, when it says, of the
republican national league, in ses-
sion at Cleveland, Ohio, this week:
"The organization is one Of very
doubtful utility to the republican
party. Local republican clubs, act
ing IN harmony with state com
mittees, may render efficient party
services. These national gatherings,
however, do little more than TO
afford nm opportunity for ambitious
voluble politicians to parade them
selves, and for intrlgues to promote
personal ends. II appears to be gem
orally understood that the partisans
of various candidates for the presi-
dental nomination intend awaiting
themselves Of the present occasion
10 push the fortunes of their favorites.

nominations next year will be little
influenced by what Is done at Cleve-
land the present week. Let the

ton beware Of taking themselves too

Economy.

Economy" is a word often in peo-
pies mouths, especially in so-called
hard times. Commonly it is used as
meaning an abrupt cutting down of
expenses, which is not in accordance
with the correct meaning, of the
word. The original definition is,
"the management of household or
domestic affairs and SO we may
speak of an action good or bad "econ-
omy." The fifth definition in inn
portance is, saving and sparing in
expense, and in applying this TO
practice, people give 1t the meaning
which ought rather to belong TO
'stingy,' "penurious" or 'parsimon-
ious." Though used in common talk
as interchangeable, there Is a differ
enee. Parsimonous is very sparing in
expenditure; penurious is to spend
as though il were the last dollar
stingy is 10 be meanly avaricious,
and applies rather tomeans spent for
Others than ourselves. True economy
is such management of our means,
such spending Of our money as shall
procure for us the greatest value in
exchange therefor. True economy

article at n fair price, rather than an

will cease to wave over the subtreas-
ury in New York. Without attempts
ing to figure out what viii happen,
it Is surely safe to say that the gold
question, now serenly debatable in
abstract, may take on a practical
form that will compel some sort OF
action not authorized by any exist
ing act of congress. In other words,
It is not improbable that the admin
istration and congress will be COM
PEELED to abandon the Fabian policy.
What would happen If a democratic
president and republican congress
found themselves compelled to pro-
tect the gold reserves from attacks
which must be actively repealed or
go to gold premium, no one knows.
Such an emergency would call for
higher craftsmanship then held the
reins at either end OF Pennsylvania
avenue during the first half Of the
present administration.
Instead of trying to force foreward
or repress this or that national issue
by main strength and political mani
pulation, the wise men Of both parties
will do their best to meet current re-
quirements as they arise, and the
party which shows the most of that
spirit will be likely to command the
of the people as best
equipped for responsibilities Of
authority during the last
four years of the century.
