WOMAN AND HOME.
GRAPES AND CREPON.
Methods of Weaving to Secure n
Much-Icsteemed Surface.


Much-Esteemed Surface.
The fabric most generally known as
Grape is mourning Grape, but properly
the name belongs to any fabric of silk,
cotton or wool that has wrinkled sur
face. Crepon is the French name for a
thick Grape, but it has come to be APP
piled to any weave with an uneven face
which gives Grape effect, whether
woven like Grape or in plaits thrown
up by drop. ling certain weft threads at
definite intervals and tightening them
by twisting.
The wrinkle of Grape is produced by
making the welt, and sometimes the
warp also, of twisted threads, every al
ternate group of threads being twisted
in the reverse direction. The threads
so arranged are loose, that is, with
space between them-and when the fab
ric is completed they untwist, each in
its own direction, which gives a SUR
face of uniform irregularity. Twisting
warp and welt makes the most perfect
Grape. If the welt only be twisted and
the warp straight, the weft threads will
push up and down the warp, making
less durable fabric. When the twist is
in the welt only there is elasticity across
the goods, and when twisted both ways
1t is elastic both ways.
The result of this weave is sur
face of broken lights and shadows, n
surface that reflects less light than if
smooth, and absorbs much. Such a
surface permits. color to be seen to adj
vantage, and crapes'are especially beau
tiful in rich colors suited to them, as
vivid red. "
Oriental grapes, the most beautiful in
the world, are of silk, or mixed silk and
cotton. When Of part cotton they are
cheaper, but there is no vulgar attempt
TO conceal the cotton, but il is kept
frankly on the surface, and it's own
good qualities are made to appear. Cot
ton has less power of reflection than
silk, and, therefore, lends itself to in
crease the absorption of light, which is
an object in Grape weave. Also, the
crimped surface enhances the beauty Of
cotton thread.
What is known rs mourning Grape is
not Grape weave. It's wrinkled sur
face is made by stiffening gauze and
pressing it on a matrix-N. Y. Herald.

THE LAW.
Or. d. II. Mann, r. w. CT. I

III. ~. H. Mdlni IL. w u. L
The Bible code of laws has, among
the hosts of others. four very important
and mandatory words, Thou shalt not
kill" That is the law of the Most
High. Shall not kill whom? Thy fell
bowman. 1t does not mean thou shalt
not kill the saloon, but it does mean
that thou shalt not kill through tie
saloon or any other agency. But in our
code, instead of compulsory prohbitory
laws, we are having too many of
woud-be regulation character thrust
upon us.
How useless most of our restrictive
laws for the regulation of the liquor
traffic have proven to be, as the Raine's
law for instance, which has so sadly
disappointed the great mass OF sober,
thinking, law-abiding citizens of New
York, over which the liquor fraternity
laughs in derision and eXultaton.
These so-called, so.claimed restrictions
rank among the regulators of the evil
one. His Satanic majesty always pre-
fers the pruning knife applied to the
branches of the deadly Upas, to the APP
plicaton of the AK to its roots. SO
while our lawmakers climb the tree to
prune here and there an Objectionable
branch, here a twig, and there crooked
limb he sits on his throne of fire, laugh
ing in eXultation over the fine growing
conditions of his prolific tree, which his
pretending enemies so wisely trim up
for him. Has the process stopped the
development or the effect of the poison
Gus fruit? Has it regulated its evils ?
Regulate! AS well might you tuln
lose a Demonstration, pole.cat, a mad
dog or a rattlesnake by legislative en-
actments, without cutting off their heads
to regulate them, as to attempt to regu-
/ late the saloon or any branch of the
liquor traffic by the enactment of per-
missive laws.

Capitalists Planning u Monster Refuge
for ships in Northern Indiana.
Chicago and New York capitalists
have organized to construct an il land
harbor in the heart of the Calumet
region. The expenditure of private cap
ital will be SG,000,00O. Hammond and
East Chicago have assured prompt CO.
operation, and the federal governmt mt Is
expected to lend a hand. The harbor
will be adapted to the deepest draught
navigation. The enterprise will give EN-.
ployment to 1900 men. Under the pres
ent plans work will be begun in October.
Completion is expected within two or
three years.
1t is believed that the sequel of this I'M
dertaking will be the development of a
great commercial town at the northwest
ern gateway of Indiana. The industrial
and agricultural resources of Indiana
will be linked with the shipping trade of
the lakes. incidentally some people
believe that It will eventually divert con-
siderable traffic from Chicago.
Not until recently, however, was its
success made possible. y unity of inter-
ests has been perfected. Back of the
scheme are men of prominence. They
say the scheme is feasible. Among the
New Workers interested are Robert f.
Todd of Kennedy, Todd & Co. and y. d.
Eddy, representing John d. Rockefeller.
Owen F. Adds of Chicago represents a
number of Eastern capitalists in the
scheme.
1t is understood that some leading
Vermont business men had tip about
the developing of the property in this
section before 1t was known to the pub.
lie generally and that they have pur.
chased large tracts of the land that with
out doubt will soon grow into prosper

nothing else can. As race we Ameri-
