made by John Bright III ROchdalc, Eng

with his products. Their introduction,
however, was difficult. us they canc in
conflict with the productions of John
Crosby x Sons, then the greatest pro
ducers OF the original tapestry and vel
vets i'll the world. The difference. of
course, between the two productions
was ihat the Crossleys had the designs
printed, rs now, in colors on the warn
before weaving, While that made by
John Bright Tapestry had its figures
and colrrs stamped upon the fabric bv
hand after it was woven The latter
process, however, presented Il drngget
effect and lacked the style and accurate
registration of the Crosslcy carpets.
They had one thing to commend thcm-
they were very durable Bright's goods
Were iirSt printed with blocks and, be-
ing durable and cheap, their sale was
large i'll many countries.
Cylinders or rollers were aftcrward
used by Bright, the cue being taken
from calico and kindred printing, but
they varied much i'll their construction.
One of these, used by an English manu-
facturor, was Il very elaborate and OK
pcnsive affair. The engraving of the de-
sign upon the cylinder was very deep,

Modistcs are beginning to desire some
change from the too we'll loved bolcro and
are cxcrting all their ingenuity in dcvising
some other kind Of bodice that shall yet
show guimpc or chcmiscttc, for it is the
opportunities afforded by the bolcro that
give it its voguc-the opportunities Of dis
playing full fronts of thin silk, moussclinc
de sole or lace, which are universally be-
coming. Every effort is being made To
keep the bolcro alive. 1t is slashed en-
broidcrcd with gold, silver and steel,
adorned with applications of guipurc,
trimmed with rcvers of another color and
ornamcntcd with lace and plaitings.
Among tho rev bcdiccs are some cspc

are full from tho waist line to the height
of the corselet, where they are cut into
straps, which are of different lengths, nc
cording as they extend to the collar, the
shoulder or the armholc. These straps are
enriched by borders of passcmcnterc en-

A Cure is Found at Last in DIR. Hartman's
Free Treatment.
1t reads like Il novel. Every word of
it however, is prosaic history and exact
truth. A young man has before him
a brilliant career. Chronic catarlh
has fastened itself upon him. He tried
many remedies in vain. At college a
room mate persuaded him to try PERU
no.. Pe-ru-na cures him in a short
time, and he goes on his way rejoicing.
Without the Pe-ru-na the success in
life would be impossible. Chronic ca
tarrh has blasted many a career. 1t
would have blasted this young mans
career if it had not been for the kind
suggestion of a friend. Read what A.
F. Stern, Marine City, Mich, says:
I was troubled with catarrh for three
years and tried almost every catarlh
medicine / heard of. l went down to
Delaware, O., to attend college, where
1 got u of your almanacs, and saw
other remedy for catarrh. I was al
most discouraged with trying all kinds
of medicine but my roommate told me
your medicine was all right. so l tried
it. After taking seven bottles accord
ing to directions, l was cured and felt
like a new man. I recommend it to all
who are suffering with this dreadful
disease. 1t is the best medicine for ca
tarrh. 1 owe my health to you.
All catarrh sufferers will be interest
ed in q book written by DIR. Hartman.
It is an in~stuctively illustrated 64-page
book, and treats of cararrh in all its
stages and locations. It will be sent
free for q short time by The Pe-ru-na
