Rapid Fire SuppIication.

Sixteen thousand prayers are being
said daily for the benefit of Milwau-
kee. Within week the number is ex-
pected to be 100000 After that the
total Is merely a matter of geometric
progression and religious ZEAL The
supplications offered up for the re-
ligious welfare of the Wisconsin me-
tropolis may range anywhere from one
to one hundred million. Rev. c. P
Maisden, Of the Grand Avenue Metho-
dist church, of Milwaukee, is the genius
behind this rapid-fire attack upon the
throne of grace. The idea came to the
mind of the Rev. Mr. Maisden that
Providence was not paying the proper
amount Of attention to Milwaukee
and he applied the endless chain let
ter idea to prayers for a revival. His
original plan was to make it an eXclu-
sively Methodist campaign, but more
liberal ideas prevailed The whole
world was invited to furnish ammunf-
ton, and the prayers are for the gen.
eral good of the city which a certain
brand of beer made famous.
The effect Of a devotional lobby on
so large a scale is still matter of con-
lecture, but, assuming the efficacy of
prayer, the selfish side Of the brilliant
idea is the one that is most apparent.
Milwaukee may, and probably does,
need religious awakening, but if re-
viving grace Is to be poured into Wis
eonsin in answer to the requisitions
of some millions of petitioners. how
about Chicago, Kansas City, Dodge
Center and Minneapolis? The powers
of evil are proverbially active, and
while the forces for good are massing
for an advance on Milwaukee, is there
not danger of a flank movement? It
is we'll enough to regenerate Milwau-
kee, but there are others.

SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured by the

EVOLUTION OF WALLPAPER.
1t Took Time TO Introduce 1T and Bring
1t to Its Present Perfection.

It Took Time to Introduce It and Bring
1t to Its Present Perfection.
From the Paper Trade: While va
rious kinds of printed fabrics We're
known to the people of most remote
antiquity it was not till the eighteenth
century that wallpaper anywhere near
its present form came into common
use in Europe, though it appears to
have been used much earlier in China.
A few rare examples which may be as
early as the sixteenth century exist in
England, but these are limitations. gem
orally in flock" of the old Florentine
and Genoese cut yelyets, and hence the
style of the design in no way shows
the date of the wallpaper, the same
traditional patterns being reproduced
with little or no change for many
years. 1t was not till tie end of the
last century that the machinery to
make paper in long strips was invent
ed. Up to that time wallpapers were
printed on small square pieces of hand
made paper and were very expensive.
On this account wallpaper was slow in
superseding the older mural decora-
tions, such as tapestry, stamped
leather and paper cloth. A work
printed in London in 1744 throws some
light on the use of wallpapers of that
time: 1.-THE method of printing wall
papers of the better sort is probably
the same now that it has ever been.
Wooden blocks, with the design cut in
relief, one for each color, are applied
by hand, after being dipped in an
elastic cloth sieve charged with wet
tempera pigment, great care being
taken to lay each block exactly on the
right place, so that the various colors
may register or get together. In or
der to suit the productions of the pa
per mills these blocks are made in
England twenty-one inches wide, and
in France eighteen inches wide. The
length of the block is limited to what
the workman can easily lift with one
hand-two feet being about the limit,
as the blocks are necessarily thick and
in many cases made heavier by being
inlaid with copper, especially the thin
outlines, which, K made Of wood,
would not stand the wear and tear OF
printing. In flock and gold or silver
printing the design is first printed In
strong size, the flock (flnely cut wool
of the required color or metallic pow
der is then s%prinkled by hand over the
paper; it adheres only to the wet size,
and is easily shaken off the ground or
unsized part. IL the pattern is re-
CURED TO stand out in some relief the
process is repeated several times and
the whole paper then rolled to COM
press the flock. Cheaper sorts of paper
are printed by machinery, the design
being cut on the surface OF wooden
rollers, under which the paper passes.
The chief drawback to this process is
that all the colors are applied rapidly.
one after the other, without allowing
each to dry separately, as Is done in
hand printing. A somewhat blurred
appearance is usually the result"
