GRAPES AND CREPON.
Methods of Weaving to Secure .
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 a 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 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 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 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 a
w dDlC lChDl lSs w Itu CllC 1" lSG ID
in the weft only there is elasticity across
the goods, and when twisted both ways
it is elastic both ways.
The result of this weave is a sur
face of broken lights and shadows,
surface that reflects less light than if
smooth, and absorbs much. Such
surface permits color to be seen to ad-
vantage, and grapes 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 it is kept
frankly on the surface, and its 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 as mourning Grape is
not a Grape weave. Its wrinkled sur
face is made by stiffening gauze and
pressing it on a matrix.-N. Y. Herald

birds. In other words, some of our
most delightful songsters are being
skinned alive in order that our fair
countrywomen may be fitted out with
"a perfectly lovely hat"
The rapacity of the brutes who hunt
these feathered beauties is so great
that they cannot give the birds time to
die, but denude them of feathers while
the futtering victims languish and die
under the torments of yivisection.
Thus these inhuman hunters are able
20 increase their ill-gotten gains at the
cost of the most terrible suffering. In
q few minutes the deed is done, and in
duo time my lady appears at church in
= hat which is the envy of the entire
feminine part of the congregation.
Perhaps as she listens to the exquisite
music of high-salaried choir, she al
lows her mind to wander for moment
from her high-priced hat, and she
thinks Of her little babe at home. How
her thoughts float toward Heaven, as
she offers a silent prayer that no harm
may come to her darling. Meanwhile,
however, a nest full of little ones, in
certain tree, have persisted of hunger
because both of the parent birds have
been sacrificed in order that SO ne of the
fair worshipers may kneel in church
a:tired in a manner suited to the splen-
did sanctuary and the fashionable sur
roundings. A strange unrest must
certainly disturb them as the man of
God slowly reads from the Holy Book:
Are not five sparrows (birds in the He
brew sold for two farthings, and not
one of them is forgotten before God?"

THE FAT woMANs TURN.

turned his wheel quickly, and, dis
mounting, grabbed the prize. Thd
three small girls were hugging themr
selves with glee and talking rapidly ID
italian. The finder opened the pocket
book and discovered that it was filed
with pieces of newspaper. This seemed
to daze him at first, but when shriu
feminine jeer greeted him he realized
that he had been fooled, and he dropped
the book and scorched up the boule-
ward at racing pace. Several other
bicycle riders had witnessed the inch
dent, and they dismounted and lined
up along the curb to await other VIC
tins. A fat woman was the next. She
nearly fell off her wheel in an effort
to turn sharply when she saw the
pocketbook. She grabbed it eagerly,
and, like the first victim, opened it at
once. Again a chorus of feminine
shrieks warned her that she had been
sold. Her embarrassment was great.
and the good advice that was shouted
to her as she struggled to mount her
wheel increased it. She finally walked
majestically down One Hundred and
Second street, pushing her wheel be-
side her.
One of the Italian girls picked up the
pocketbook, which had been dropped
on the sidewalk, and replaced it in the
middle of the boulevard. This was but
the beginning of the fun. A dozen more
riders dismounted in turn to find that
they had been fooled. Some of them
rode off angrily and others joined the
waiting crowd to get consolation from
the sight of others who might be fooled
The crowd that collected threatened
to completely block the boulevard and
their jeers at each new victim attracted
the police. The crowd was dispersed
and the old pocketbooI was confscated.

ROSA RoNHEuR,s LEE.
Some Interesting "Reminiscences
Neatly Told by Herself.

Rosa Bonheur has just published her
autobiography in Paris. It appears
that before she took to painting she
was apprenticed to dressmalIer. Then
she began coloring kaleidoscope views.
Her first picture was a bunch of cher
ries. Later on she made copies in the
Louvre, where her strange costume and
independent airs won for her the nick
name of THE Little Hussar."
''The Little Hussar" grew rapidly.
In 1853 Rosa Bonheur exhibited the
"Horse Fair" which was bought by NJ.
Gambard for 10000 francs. 1t was ex-
hibfted in the United States, and
brought in 900, 900 francs.

How to Convert n Rare Steak Rem
nant Into a Tidbit.
The remains of a rare steak may be
made into am excellent dish as follows:
Chop the meat fine, and for each cup
of meat add q teaspoonful of chopped
ham and half as much bread crumbs as
you have meat. Moisten the crumbs
with a little milk and mix them with
the meat. Season highly with salt and
pepper and chopped parsley, or a little
onion juice may be substituted for the
parsley. Beat one egg light and add
it to the other ingredients.
Take piece of fresh brown paper
and butter it well. Place the meat mix
ture in the middle of the paper, shape
it into a square loaf; fold the paper
around the meat and over the ends, as
when doing up a parcel, turning tie
ends under the loaf so that they will
remain in place without Irvine. Place
the parcel in a baking pan and put it
in hot oven and bake for 25 minutes.
Then carefully remove the paper from
the meat and place the Drowned loaf
upon heated platter.
This is delicious when served with
horseradish sauce, or a tomato sauce
may be poured around it.-Chicago

NOT WORTH THE PRICE.
why Women Cannot Afford to Wear
Birds I'm Their Hats.

The women of the country expend
hundreds of thousands of dollars an
nually for birds plumes with which
they adorn their hats. This money
goes into the hands of a very few
eastern capitalists, who delude the
followers of fashion with the idea
that these plumes and wings are taken
from foreign birds-while as matter
of fact most of these feminine adorn-
ments are taken from our own favorite
song birds, whose feathers are doc
tored" by skilled colorists for the pur-
pose of deceiving those who never
wear anything but imported goods"
The results of this subserviency to the
dictates of a cruel fashion are obvious
TO the dullest intellect. The first and
the worst is that our native song birds
are being rapidly eXterminated. The
taxidermist of the Chicago Academy
of Sciences states that no less than
eight species of our favorite birds are
already gone; and the remainder is be-
ing rapidly sacrificed to the milliner's
moloch. This terrible loss to mankind
is caused by the whims of our 'inde-
pendent" American women.
Perhaps some of our tender hearted
women may not be aware that many of

SAVED BY HIS DOG.
A Little Boy Rescued from Mad Cur

Little Charles Brooks, of South End,
