Methods of Weaving to Secure n
Much-Erteemed Surface.
The fabric most generally known as
Grapes mourning Grape, but properly
the name belongs to any fabric of silk,
cotton or wool that has wrinlled sur

thick Grape, but it has come to be APP
Piled to any weave with an uneven face
which gives a Grape effect, whether
woven like Grape or in plaits thrown
up by dropping certain weft threads at
definite intervals and tightening them
by twisting.
The wrinkle of Grape is produced by
making the weft, and sometimes the
warp also, of twisted threads, every al
ternate group of threads being twisted
in theareverse direction. The threads
SO arranged are loose, that is, with
space between them-and when the fab
ric is completed they untwist, each in
it's own direction, which gives sur.
face of uniform irregularity. Twisting
warp and weft makes the most perfect
Grape. If the weft only be twisted and
the warp straight, the weft threads will
push up and down the warp, making g
less durable fabric. When the twist is
in the weft only there is elasticity across
the goods end when twisted both way.
it is elastic both ways.
The result of this weave is sur
face of broken lights and shadows, {
surface that reflects less light than i:

surface permits color to be seen to ad

tiful in rich colors suited to them, a.

AUSTRALIAN BEEF.
II Is Sold in London 40 Per Cent.
Cheaper Than Our Product.

Ii Is sold In London 40 Per Gent.
Cheaper Than Our Product.
Dressed beef shippers in Chicago are
feeling the competition of Australian
frozen beef in English markets. For
years they have had no competitor eX-
cept English meats in London, but of
late Australia has built up the frozen
beef industry to such an extent that
they are now underselling American
dressed beef in London 40 to so per
cent.
The exports of dressed beef to the
United Kingdom in January were 49,
9S3,S4 pounds, and for the seven
months ended January 81 they were
40, ,240 COO pounds. This shows the eX.
tent to which the American industry
has grown. The value of American
exports to the United Kingdom alone
for seven months was S13 3,22S 900. That
country, however, consumes practically
all of the dressed beef we sell abroad.
p. d. Armour, discussing the export
trade, said: "Australian beef is now
affecting our trade. as they are under.
selling us in London. The beef is
frozen, and the people do not like it
as well as the American product, but
they are taking it. The Australians
have improved their system of handling
of late, and the meat is very good. We
feel the effect of the increased ship
ments from that country. Most of the
Australian beef goes to London, but,
taking all the United Kingdom, one
third more American beef is sold"

FISHING FOR spoNoEs.
An Expert is Poorly Paid and Alwa!
Suffers From Rheumatism.

An Expert IL Poorly Paid and Always
Suffers From rheumatism.
Lying on his chest along the boats
deck, the sponge fisher, with his water
glass-a pane set in a box fitted with
handles-looks down 40 feet into the
clear depths, says Pearsons Weekly.
With one hand he grasps and sinks g
slender pole, sometimes so feet in
length, fitted at the end with double
hook. The sponge once discovered,
the hook is deftly inserted at the rocky
base, and by sudden jerk the sponge
is detached.
This curt description of what seems
the simple work of sponge fishing gives
no idea of the real skill and exertion
needed. The eye of the fisher has to
be trained by long experience to peer
into the sea and tell the commercially
valuable sponge from those that are
worthless. He must have deft hand
to detach the sponge without a tear.
Above all, while doing this with one
hand, he must manipulate with the
other the water glass, as the waves
sway it sideways and up and down.
The strain on eye and body is most in
tense, to say nothing of the cramped
position and exposure to wind and wet
which, first and last, make almost
every sponge fisher u victim of acute
rheumatism. Yet, with all his arduous
toll, an expert fisher earns not more
than three pounds sterling a month
besides his keep on the boat, which
barely deserves the name of existence.

of the President, Prof. Alvin p. Barnaby.

ATTACKED BY FROGS.
Terrible Experience of Man Who A
tempts to Cleanse n Well.

Terrible Experience of Man Who At
tempts to Cleanse a Well.
Elmer Cantor, of Union, N. Y, for
some time has noticed peculiar taste
in the water in his well, and he deter
mined to clean it. William Forbes was
engaged to pump it out, and after
draining off as much water as possible
he descended into the well. Suddenly
Cantor heard loud commotion in the
water and muffied cry for help. He
thought the man had been overcome
by gas and hurried down to find a
squirming mass on the water, with
which Forbes was battling. On pro-
jecting stones above his head and in
the water around him were thousands
of frogs. Some were monstrous fell
lows, and it seemed as though they had
made preconcerted attack.
They were leaping upon his head and
shoulders from all directions, and he
was covered with slime that gave
forth a sickening odor. 1t was with
some difficulty that he was rescued
from his perilous position, and had he
remained in the water a short time
longer he would have sunk helpless to
the bottom. 1t is supposed the frogs
reached the well from pond by means
of an underground channel.

LIFTING THE SKIRT.
How 1t Mny BE Done Easily, Grace

How 1t Mny BE Done Easily, Grace
fully and MOdcstIy.
While it is considered bad form for
a woman to carry her skirts while walk
ing. there are conditions and circum.
stances when she must do so. In the
first place, unless one is woman of lux.
ury, with those in her service with moth
ing but her wardrobe to look after, one
is not eXcusable for wearing skirts that
in consequence of their all-round eXae~
gerated length are veritable street
sweepers. For women who are not
thus luXuriously conditioned, walking
skirts should be made just to escape
the ground, and then they should be al
! lowed to hang free unless the side
walks or crossings are too damp or
otherwise dirty, when it would, of
course, be most uncleanly not to lift the
skirts. The way to lift them most eff
| fectually and conveniently is to throw
the extra back fullness of the skirt over
the back of the hand, which should be
closed and placed as a handle at one
side of the body, and slightly bend the
forearm forward. The fullness of the
skirt will be found to remain in place,
and will not cause the fatigue to the
hand and wrist that one experiences in
the old way of holding so much weight
of material in the hand. This is de.
cided saving on gloves, since it does not
stretch them or soil them or cause the
hand to become overheated, and skirts
lifted in this way look more graceful
than when they are held in the hand.
Ones anatomy is less liable to be en-
phasized, and it gives an ease and cer-
tainty that all the fullness is properly
looked after, while at the same time
petticoat, ankles and shoes are more be.

~ The sacredness of Prayer Rugs.

Verses from the Koran and other
passages considered sacred are general
ly stamped on fabrics used as prayer
rugs by the Mohammedans, and it is
criminal in oriental law to export such
pieces. This is doubtless because use
by the occidentals means the treading
of sacred words under infidel feet, and
when you think it over it is not to be
wondered at. A few years ago an
American succeeded in getting two
such pieces as near home as Paris, but
the inducements offered him to return
them to the oriental dealer were potent
enough to effect their purpose.

nean Straw for sheep.

1t has been well attested that bean
straw is valuable food for sheep and
that they are fond of it. The bean, like
clover, is leguminous plant, and many
farmers say that the straw, though
coarse and harsh, has nearly as much
nutrition as clover hay. 1t makes very
rich manure when fed to either sheer
or cows. This is shown by its rotting
very fast when piled and giving off tn,
strong smell of ammonia, which comes
from feeding any manure rich in nitro
genous nutrition.
