BULLION EMBROIDERY.
Little shops Where Uniforms Arc Made
Gorgeous with Gold.

Little shops Where Uniforms Arc Made
Gorgeous with Gold.
One sees from the sidewalk Of n quiet
street cast Of Third avenue Il Zig bnse-
ment shop where two or three girls are
bending over well-worn embroidery
frames. The samples of their work
displayed in the windows show that
they are making bullion embroidery
TO decorate the coats or caps of mill
tary officers, policemen, and others
whose trades or professions require
uniforms. There is less to be done in
the bullion embroidery trade in this
city than in most old world cities, but
there is u constant and owing de-
mand for the handiwork of tn" bullion
emDroiderers, and the trade is one that
keeps its own in spite of labor-saying
devices.
Bullion embroidery worked directly
upon the stuff Of the cap or coat is still
the proper thing for the uniformed
man who would have all his accoutre-
ments right. The embroidery shops
are usually little places, and the pro-
prietor is sometimes a woman. The
frame is a simple device Of hard wood,
enlarged or reduced in accordance
with the needs Of the particular piece
of work in hand. The embroidercrs
are usually girls, often very young,
though the designers are sometimes
men. Embroidery designing is not II
very difficult business. because little
originality is demanded, since the trade
has well-established traditions, and
there are plenty of books to guide the
designer. There are no new designs
20 be made in masonic, military or
naval emblems, and even the myriad
shooting clubs Of the German quarter
are not likely to require anything that
will demand great ingenuity of the en-
broidery designer.
The girls that do the actual work of
bullion embroidery r often native
Americans, though the trade is mainly
controlled by foreigners, French and
German for the most part. The par
ticular shop here indicated is managed
oy "a hebrew, and the pretty girls Wis
ible from the street as they lean over
their work seem to have Jewish fea-
tures,-N. Y. Sun.

LONG HAIR FOR MUSICIANS.
Its Value Practically Illustrated Through
NJ. Tsaye.

as long hair an ~unfailing mark of
gcnius?" The answer is: 30, notncc-
essarily, but it is certainly n mark Of
policy. 1t does not require any pro-
found wisdom on the part of "a public
performer To know that il is better to
lie talked about for his uglinoss or his
ecccntricity than not TO have his per-
sonality discussed at all, and if u man
lie so unfortunate as 10 possess a nor
NAL face and figure, with the average
number of features and limbs, in what
quarter must he look for individuality
save in his hair?
NJ. Anne Lachaumc, the young
French pianist who is this year touring
with Rivardc, and who did the same
last year with Isayc, tells how he hap
pcncd this season to bloom out as one of
the long haired brethren. When he
first came to this country NJ. Lachaume
wore his hair in everyday fashion, and
also cultivated "A rather tentative beard.
People heard him play, exclaimed:
"IIow unassuming!" went away, and
forgot him. Since his conversion, how
ever, the same persons cry: How hid
cous! but the man is evidently n gen
ius. Bravo" and they depart and this
time 10 not forget.
1t was Isaye who brought this
change about. Last year, in the course
of their travels, the two artists found
themselves in IA town somewhere in the
west. They were sitting in a oom to-
gether, when Isayc exclaimed: Its
no use, Lachaume, l can't stand that
beard of yours any longer; IL is too
ugly, and IL must come off,"
"But, my dear man." answered the
alarmed pianist, 81 have taken such
pains to grow that beard; it has cost me
years of labor and anxiety; besides, you
know one must have something dis
tinctive about one"
"Ies, of course, l know that, but all
you've got to do is to let your back hair
grow like mine. And there : no time
like the present, either, so you just sit
down in that chair there and we'll make
short work of the business"
No sooner said than done. In a few
seconds Lachaume was sitting trem-
bling in the chair, while the great
Isaye welded tho razor about his de-
voted chin.
"In future, my dear boy, use a razor,
but never scissors, and you ire sure to
become famous."-London Truth.

Power Of tho Human Jaws.

Dr.. g. v. Black, a dentist Of Jackson
Vile, Fla. has made some interesting
experiments upon the force exerted by
the human jaws in the ordinary masti.
cation of food, and also the greatest
force which the jaws are capable Of ex.
e-ting. BY means Of a spring instru.
ment provided with a registering device
he took r,cords Of about $50 ''bites" OF
different persons. OF these so have been
preserved as characteristics Of the ordi-
nary man, woman an9 child. The small.
est pressure recorded was 80 pounds,
by q little girl : years old. This was
with tho incisors. Using her nIolars,
the SAINT child excrted q force of 65
pounds. The highest record was made
by u physician Of 35. The instrument
used only registered go pounds, and he
closed it together without apparent eff
fort. There was no method of dcterlnin.
Ing how far above go pounds he could
have gone. This test was made Wit, tia
molarS. Several persons exceeded q force
Of 100 pounds with the incisors and ecu
with the molars. The physical condition
Of the persons experimental upon @
ed to have little bearing upon the result.
DR.. Black is of the opinion that the con.
dition of the peridental membranes is
the controlling factor, rather than mus.
cular strength. DR.. Black found that in
the habitual chewing Of food Inucl,
more force is exertcd than is necessary.

sound so dear to oriental ears. And
with it are trees innumerable, great for

seen in an eastern town, the large court

seats and spreading trees IN either side.
The bazaars, too, and the streets seem

THE QUEEN AND THE "ORB."
How the Brave Girl Suffered silently st
the Coronation.

How the Brave Girl suffered silently ut
the Coronation.
At the coronation the ceremonies
lasted more than four hours, and
throughout the queen played her part
with wonderful composure. Care, says
q writor, had been taken to provide a
crown suitable for her small head, but
no one had thought about reducing the
size of the orb which she was required
to carry in her tiny hand.
"What am l to do with it?" she asked,
In concern.
Garry it, your majesty" replied
Lord John Thyme.
"Am l? 1t is very hcavy,"the queen
answered in q tone of amazement.
However. it was too late for protest,
and she obeyed the exigencies OF the
situation.
A worse mistake had been made
with regard to the ruby coronation
ring. Tho jeweler had made it to fit
her majesty's little finger, whereas the
archbishop declared that according to
the rubric 1t must be put upon tho
larger finger, and accordingly forced
1t into that position. The queen bore
her painfully swelling finger with the
same heroism that she carried the
weighty orb, Aftcrward the finger
had TO be bathcd in ice water before tbs
ring could be drawn oR.-Wcstmlnstcl

"What won't merchants nowadays

Boys and Cigarettes.

Yesterday forenoon Albert Spear, Is
years old, belonging to the Smaller gram
mar school, was at the North school house
to attend the class in manual training.
Before he went to his room Spear pro-
duced some cigarettes. lighted one and
passed il to three little boys in turn, who
belong to the North shcool. This was re-
ported to the principal. who at once took
Spear to the Office Of Superintendent of
Schools Lord After the case had been
investigated the boy was turned over to
County Attorney True, who made further
inquiries. Spear told where he got the
cigarettes and it is probable that the
dealer who sold them to him will be sum-
moned directly before the grand jury,
