A scene memorable in the annals of
the weaving industry was witnessed at
the Vienna Technical Art museum re-
Gently. Herr Jan Szczepanik, the IA
nous young inventor. presented En-
peror Francis Joseph with the first web
produced by means Of his new photo
graphic process. The silk-woven Gobe-
lin is made from a picture by Henryk
Rauchinger. 1t is about two square
meters in size and gives an allegorical
representation of homage to the en-
peror. The work contains 2o0.00O. GOO
crossing, 100 silk threads filing one
centimeter. Two hundred square
meters of pasteboard cards would have
been necessary to produce this web
according to the present method. and
designers would have required many
years to carry out the work. Now the
designer is abolished, and the work
was done in five hours. The emperor
was struck by the marvellous Elasticity
and delicacy of the picture, which no.
body would believe TO be woven. Herr
Szczepanik demonstrated the process
at the emperor's desire. and his majesty
accepted the gift and congratulated the
inventor.-London Chronicle

these things for him. and he must 20
tc town and buy such things when he
wants them. The heavy importat;ons
of beef, pork. bacon, lard, sansages,
potatoes, cabhages, beets, carrots AMI
. hundred other articles show that our
farmers are not doing themselves JUS
t:ce. The design of the farm is that it
should be more nearly self-sustaininy
than any other field of labor; that
farmers should buy less than any 9TH
er people; that while others must OF
necessity live from hand to mouth, the
farmer should always be amply sup
piled with all things needful. If the
receipts for even 4-cent cotton could
be used to permanently better the
farmers condition, instead of paying
his debts or purchasing what he
should himself produce, there would
be less to complain of. 1t may as well
be realized now that financial improve
ment from the farmers standpoint is
only in the distant future. The policy
of the government, the power and
prevalence of giant trusts, and their
ability to control legislation in their
own interest and to violate with inn
punity any law intended for their con-
troll, will no. be changed until revo-
luton in public sentiment is brought
about that will cause the producers of
the country to act as one man and
cleanse the Augean stable where athon-
sand political cattle have been fatten-
ing for many years. The truth may not
always be pleasant to look at, but err
rors cannot be eradicated by turning
out backs ON them.-Texas Farm and

A curious account is given by Paris
correspondent OF the discovery Of an
egg forger, whose false productions are
purchased for scientific collections and
by amateurs. The man was very clever.
A visitor saw him make a penguin egg
that could not be distinguished from
the real one that served him for
model He made the shell of plaster of
paris. burned and glazed. The egg was
intended for man who furnished eggs
for a foreign scientific collection.
These imitation are not difficult. for
among the real eggs of most species
there are SO many varieties that even
the most practiced expert could not
distinguish all of them. The eggs of
the common fly catcher are very cheap.
BY chemical treatment they acquire
bluish-green shining color, and are
then sold at. a very high price as the
eggs of the silk-taii. From common
duck eggs are fabricated the eggs of d
falcon, for which 4Of. or 60f. are paid.
The duck eggs. for this purpose, are
given a silver-green color. Pigeon and
wood pigeon eggs are also transformed
into rarer products of middling-sized
birds. Nightingales' eggs are difficult
to procure, and are therefore very
dear. They are initiated by coloring
larks' eggs brown. The egg forger was
for long time an assistant in a natural
history museum in the provinces

Times change. and farmers change

stand it, why can't farmers do the

they once had, but it is certain that
they enjoy life more than their fathers
did? They eat better food, as rule,
wear better clothing and live in better
houses, and have more of the artificial
ccnveniences than they once had. But
they are not happy; there are many
pessimists among them; they COM
