RARE EMBROIDERY.
ExQuisite Lace Made of the Fiber of
the Aloe.

Perhaps the most accomplished de-
signer and needlewoman in the world
is Nine. st. George, who has charge of
the classes in the government art school
of embroidery at Vienna, says an eN-
change. This institution is the glory
of the Austrian capital. The entire
course of instruction, which is free,
lasts five years. but many pupils leave
after two or three years, especially
ladies who do not intend to make art
work a profession and are satisfied with
knowing the rudiments of either lace
work or art embroidery, for every year
has its special course. Every years
course has its special room and instruc-
tress and the pupils cannot 60 from one
to the other until the year expires. The
pupils of the last years course were
busily mending a magnificent canopy,
the work of Empress Marie Theresa
An idea may be formed of the magni-
tude of the task when it is said that ten
girls under Nine. st. Georges superin-
tendence had been working at it for
ten years already, and she expected it
would take two years more to com
plete it. Every kind of embroidery, in
Guiding Persian, Indian, japanese.
Turkish, etc, is done here, and the
visitor is astonished to see some beauti-
full samples of the ''manduty," or spiders
web, made by the Guarini women of
Paraguay and rarely seen in Europe.
This lace is made of the fiber of the aloe
and is so fine that it is made inside of
the huts, with the door shut, SO that
not the least breath of wind can

BORGIa ROOMS REDECORATED.
Chambers in the Vatican Ruined by
Constable De Bourbon Restored.

Chambers in the Vatican Ruined by
Constable De Bourbon Restored.
The restoration of the Borgia rooms
in the vatican is an undertaking which
will long serve to preserve the memory
of Leo XIII. as a patron of art, says a
London exchange. These six noble
chambers, situated above the famous
stanze of Raphael, were built in 1896
by Alexander VI. of unhalloved renown.
The first, named the hall of the pom
tiffs, had been redecorated in the time
of Leo Y. after Raphael's designs. On
the walls of the three next PintuTicchio
painted the finest of his frescoes, and
one chamber contained the "Aldobran-
dini Marriage Feast" which is supposed
20 supply Il link with classical art. Bene-
letto Bonfillo took up his masters brush
to complete the adornment of the last
two apartments. This sumptuous suite
served as a home for the popes until
Sixtus V. and Clement VIII. constructed
the existing palace. During the sack OF
Rome by Constable de Bourbon much
damage was done to the Borgia quarter,
which bas been practically abandoned
until to-day. fnhappily, the mural
paintings in only two of the rooms have
been found in a state admitting of re-
pair Elsew here it has been necessary to
renew the decorative work as far as pos
sible on the original lines.

SCIENCE AND THE MOSQUITO.

i here are four truths respecting the
mosquito which modern science has es-
tabllshed:
First: mosquito cannot live in air
free from malarial poison. Untainted air
has the same effect on him as healthy
community on doctor. It deprives hi u
of patients, and he must 60 to less favor
ed localities to practice.
Second. The lymph, which flows
through the automatic valve when it in
serts Its Drobocls, contains modified
germ of the malarlal fever, and according
TO the we'll settled law of innoculation,
the Introduction Of the weak germ renders
harmless an attack by the strong germ.
Third. The mosquito never swallows
human blood. 1t cannot. The fact that
It's body becomes discolored and sweils
while probing is cacsed by the discolora-
ton of the lymph IN contact with the
blood and the muscular effort of insert
ing the probe.
Fourth. A mosquito will never insert
lts lancet In person not susceptible to
an attack of malaria. In tbs respect its
sense is more accurate than the most
skilled and experienced pathologisI. This
also proves not only Its unerring instinct
but that 1t never wounds unnecessarily
lts LhrustS are those of a skilled and hu-
name surgeon, and even more unselfisb,
ior hope Of fee never quickens him, nor
does the maledictlon OF his patient deter
him IN the fulti.lment of his duty.

AN HISTORIC GAME.

Origin of Golf Lost in Shadows of An
tiquity--Perhaps David Played on Link4.
The first golf appears to be lost in
obscurity and its earliest history en-
twined with that of several countries
claiming its parentage. Whether as a
distinct game it came originally from
Holland or whether it is the evolution
of several games Torn in England and
Scotland-no man knoweth. There
are ancient Dutch tiles picturing
what might have been a prototype,
and there is recorded royal decree
of the Scots Parliament in 1457 con-
demning go'f as distracting the sol
dl rs attcnt on from archery. James
VI of Scotland laced tariff on the
feather balls which came from Hol and,
and Charles was in the midst of an
exciting match when the news of the
Irish rebe lion reached him.
And this is not all of history.
"Klobe'i is German for club; "kulban"
Gothic for a stick with a thick knob.
and "kolf' is Dutch for a game that
by some is set up as the original of
rresent-day golf. "Chole, still
played in Northern France and game
Of undoubted antiquity on the CONT
nent, is also upheld as a possible
source of ancestry; while the ancient
'jeu-de has likewise a place in
the well-filled list of golfng forefath-
ers, because it is played with box
wood ball-batted to extraordinary
distances-and club somewhat of a
compromise between a croquet and
polo mallet.
Is not the history of nearly all our
games lost in the shrouded years of
the long ago? And history is
so readily made!-some study of
isolated data, little skill with
t pen and vivid imagina-
t on-and who is there to gainsay
your completed work? Why, indeed,
should not golf be traced to Biblical
times, for may not David's strength
Of arm and accuracy of eye with the
sling have been acquired by driving

A very rich Frenchman called '.Pere"
Chapalier, made his fortune by utiliz-
ing the stale bread of Paris, not only
that which came directly from house
holds but also that found among the
garbage of the city. Chapalier was a
manufacturer of bread crumbs. He
pulverized the stale bread collected by
a multitude of agents, and either sold
the crumbs to restaurants for kitchen
use, or remoulded and baked them in
the form of loaves for the poor.

was penny a quart. Many of the
innholders were constantly in trouble
and were fined for charging two pence
a quart for beer. The price of meal
