Gobelin Tapestry.

So important is their artistic merit and historic value that no history of tapestry is complete that does not in clude description of their design and execution. For more than 200 years the existence of the papal manufactory of tapestries was unknown to the nod ern world. Documents relating to it's origin and productions were buried and forgotten in the mass of manu- 3cript in the famous Barberini library, until very recent date, when they were unearthed by Eugene Muntz, di- rector of the National Ecole des Beaux Arts at Paris. In the popular mind all tapestries are associated with the Gobelin factories of France. Curious to relate, not yard of tapestry was ever woven by member of the Gobe- lin family. Immortality came to them from the fact that in the middle of the fifteenth century the founder of the family established dye house, which became famous and brought the pro- prietors fortune. Descendants shrewd- ly transported skilled tapestry weav- CTS from Flanders, whose work they directed and marketed, until tapestry and Gobelin became then, as now, synonymous terms throughout the world.-Donahoe's Magazine.

 you fall, he shall be safe, anu France will know how to avenge it's darling's loss"
 Then, without another seconds pause, she flew from them and, vault ing into the saddle of a young horse which stood without in the courtyard, rode once more, at full speed, out into the pitiless blaze of the sun, out to the wasted desolatIoa vf the plains.
 The order of release, indeed, was in her bosom, but the chances were as a million to one that she would reach him with it in time, ere, with the ris- ing of the sun, his life would have set forever.
 All the horror of remorse was on her. To her nature the bitter jealousy in which she had desired vengeance on him seemed to have rendered her a murderess. She loved him-loved him with an exceeding passion-and only i'll this extremity, when it was confronted with the imminence of death, did the fullness and the greatness of that love make their way out of the petulant pride and the wounded vanity which had obscured them. She had been ere now a child and a hero. Beneath this blow which struck at him she changed she became woman and martyr.
 And she rode at full speed through the night, as she had done through the daylight, her eyes glancing all around in the keen instinct of a trooper, her hand always on the butt of her belt pistol. Her brain had no sense, her hands had no feeling, her eyes had no sight. The rushing as of waters was loud on her ears, and the giddiness of fasting and of fatigue sent the gloom eddying round and round, like whirl- pool of shadow. Yet she had remem- brance enough left to ride on and on and on without once finching from the agonies that racked her cramped limbs and throbbed in her beating temples. She had remembrance enough to strain her blind eyes toward the east and murmur, in her terror of that white dawn that must soon break, the only prayer that had been ever uttered by the lips no mothers kiss had ever touched:

 She looked up in his eyes with look that froze his very heart.

 He understood her. He bowed his haughty. head low down to hers.
 True. We will cleanse that if all other justice be too late"
 The answer was infinitely gentle, fn- finitely solemn. Then he turned and wrote his hurried order and bade his aid to go with it without a seconds loss. But Cigarette caught it from his s5e, aTo me, to mel No other will go so fast"
 "But, my child, you are worn out al- ready"
 She turned on him her beautiful wild eyes, in which the blinding, passionate tears were floating.
 Do you think I would tarry for that? Ah, I wish that had let them tell me of God, that I might ask him how to bless youl Quick, quick Lend me your swiftest horse, one that will not tire. And send second order by your afd-de-camp. The Arabs may kill me as I go, and then they will not know

BELONG TO HUSBAND.
 A Wife's Earnings Are Absolutely in His Control.
Decision by New York Supreme Court Restricts the Rights of a Mar ried Woman Case on
 Which Decision Is Based.

The right of a married woman to re. cover for diminished earning capacity has been passed upon by the appellate term of the New York supreme court in a decision reversing judgment ob- tained by Mrs. Pauline Klapper for $142 against the Metropolitan Street Railway company for personal in- juries.
 Mrs. Klapper, with her baby, board ed car July last for the purpose of visiting her husband who was then confined in the Mount Sinai hospital. As she was alighting the conductor gave the signal and the car started, throwing her to the ground. Although she fell on her back she held her baby tightly in her arms and saved it from serious injury
 The evidence showed that Mrs. Klap- per's spine was severely injured and that since she has not been able to do any work. She was the only support or the family at the time, because of her husbands illness, and she was earning from $S to $10 weekly washing and scrubbing. At the time of the trial she was permitted to prove that she AA~DS A>'N'o AASA CdA ulu IOl Slh WCChS.
 It was on this point alone that the railroad company appealed the case, raising the contention that as mat ter of law her earnings belonged to her husband and could not be recov- cred by herself, and therefore an err TOT had been committed in allowing her to testify on this point.
 The appellate term directs new trial of the case, holding that it was an error to have permitted Mrs. Klapper to have testified to what she earned.
 Under common law" says Judge Leventritt, ssthe husband was abso- lutely entitled to the earnings of the his wife, unless the services and earn ings were rendered or received, ex- pressly on her sole and separate ac- count"
 Quoting from another decision, the court says: "Presumptively, damages for diminishing the earning capacity of married woman belongs to her husband, and when she seeks to re- cover such damages the complaint must contain an allegation that for some reason she is entitled to the fruits of her own labor"

The Wind and the Thermometer.

Ten persons ont oi twelve. perhaps, II required
to answer of.hand, would say that the wind af.
fccts the thermometer, making the mercury regis
ter lower temperature. As A matter oi fact,
II Is hard for us to realize that 1t does not. for
we have the evidence Of our own feelings that
il is colder in the wind than out Of II,
Yet, when we come 10 look at the matter from
a scientific standpoint. We scc that the wind
not only does not, but cannot, affect the thcr.
moneter. provided, OF course. it be the ordinary
dry.bulb instrument, aud that our increased SEN
sation Of cold when exposed to the wind, is not
really an increase OF cold brought to the body
by the wind, hut a loss Of heat.
Ii two thermometers be hung close together,
one exposed to the wind and the other sheltered
from II, they will show the same temperature,
for wind is merely air in motion, and is no colder
than still air, other things being equal, The
reason why IL feels colder Is that it causes a
more rapid evaporation from the skin, and thus
takes some OF the heat out Of the body. And
the stronger the wind the moro heat ii takes
away. II is precisely like blowing the breath
on hot liquid to cool il, the heat is con-
stanty coming to the surface of the liquid and
as Il comes there the breath blows ii away. Thus
more and more heat is taken, until the liluod
becomes cool. Wind cools ones body in the same
way. and not by iinpartnc cold. There is no
evaporation from dry.hub Thermometer and
therefore 1t registers tho same in a wind that
il does sheltered from the wind

Rain of Blood.

A FEW WEEKS ago the news was received that
"A in Northern Italy and In southern Ger.
many on several occasions and in various local..
ties rain had fallen which left reddish brown
deposit upon the previously fallen snow closely
resembling blood stains upon white linen. This
phenomenon has been frequently observed IN all
parts Of our globe and, as may be imagined, has
given rise In former times to fear and the pre-
diction Of terrible calamities among the super.
stitious. II was not until at the suggestion of
Darwin, as Dr. Cundlach In the New York Stats
Zcitung informs us, Professor Ehrenbcrg exam.
ined the rcd deposits under the microscope and
also chemically in ls47, that the popular super.
stiton Of supernatural cause Of the blood
rain" was diSpelcd. Ehrenberg found that the
deposit consisted OF reddish volcanic sand largely
mixed with living vegetable spores or germs and
gave 1t as his opinion that the sand and spores
we're picked up by the wind and carried as dust
cloud TO often enormous distances before IL de.
posted them again. The Norwegian explorer,
Nardeniocld, comedies with Ehrenbcrg as TO
the constituents Of the red deposits, but differs
from him as to their origin. His theory is that
the mineral portion Is not tellurc, but cosmc
dust, and that the organic germs have been on
quilted in IT, so to speak, during the slow falling
Of the dust through the earths atmosphere.
