Il SNAPPED Like the frustrum OF a cone, so
that the coil wound on 1t may be easily
removed by simply slipping 1t of the small
end
Inc fibre thus prepared and wound il
packed away until weaving time in jars of
very fine, clean sand which prevents it
from becoming tangled or snarled in any
way.
The sinamay fibre is sometimes put
through further process which removes
the fine hard shell that covers it and~makes
1t remarkably soft and brilliant. But
shis process also takes away great deal
Of it's strength.
III S coiled in coarse mat with iice cha #
and little lime, and then wet and pounded
with maui such es is used for pounding
the husks of rice. This makes an extremely
delicate filament, which, when woven
carefully, gives a cloth very much like silk
in appearance.
Tho looms used by the Filipinas are of
the crudest make The frames :re benz
boo cs in fact is everything else about
them. On top of the frame ii small polo
lies loosely between two pegs. Cords
thrown over this pole at the ends support
two mallerGs, or combs, through which the
threads OF the warp pCss, half through
one and haf through the other.
The combs are attached at the under
side to a treadle worked by the foot of
the weaver. so that one may be elevated
and the other dropped ct will, thus separat-
ing the warp threads so that the shuttle
may be thrown between them to make
the wool.
These combs are most laboriously con-
structed. Very fine strips of the outer
shell Of bamboo are set together in a frame.
separated only by the two or three threads
which establish the distance to be main
tanned between them For the finest weav-
ing some of these combs will have five or
six hundred teeth. Each comb is about a
yara In length, although the texture woven
is rarely more than twenty inches in width.
Each weaver has frame Of bamboo vara
in width On the side pieces there are set
twenty-five or twenty-four pegs. In pre-
pairing the warp threads the weaver starts
at the uppermost peg on one side OF this
frame and fastens her thread TO it. Then
she leads the thread back and forth across
the frame until it has pass ID each peg.
Up and down the frame this goes on until
there are as many threads on the pegs as
she wishes to have in the warp. If there
are to be 500 she winds on the pegs of this
frame a single thread made by tying the
fibres together. until it has covered all the
pegs 500 times. The number of pegs she
covers represents the number of varas
long the woven piece is to be.
Having the pegs filed she cuts across
the two ends, makes one set of ends fast to
the drum at the rear Of the loom and the
other fast at the 'front.' having led half
of the threads through one comb and the
rest through the other, dividing them
equally among the openings between the
teeth
Then with her bamboo shuttle filled from
another spool. she is ready to weave. An
industrious weaver, keeping steadily at it,
can produce about a vara day. And for
all this work the price was silver quarter
with Uncle Sans stamp on it!

At time when, as Ben Jonson says
nothing but filth of the mire" was Ut
tered on the stage, laws We're made in
England against stage playing. In 1884
common players were debarred from
Oxford university. By an act passed in
1893 strolling players were punishable
as rogues and vagabonds. eth whip
ping and Imprisonment unless they be-
longed to a nobleman and had his H.
cense. and even this exception was
abolished by another act passed in
1904.
1t was further enacted in 1925 that
players acting on a Sunday should he
fined 5 shillings or placed in the stocks.
The powers of the cities of London and
Westminster with their environs were
augmented by an ordinance of 1G47 by
which all players were brought within
the scope of the acts Of 1898 and 1904.
BY an ordinance passed in 1913 gal
leries were to be removed, the actors
whipped during market hours in some
market town. the spectators fined :
shillings each and all money paid for

A Joke That Led to Butchery,

What citizens of old were cruelty
punished for joking about their en-
peror?
This fate befell the citizens Of Alex
andria. Caracalla, a monster of afro
cious cruelty, left Rome about a year
after the murder of his brother Geta,
who had shared the throne with him.
and spent the remaining five years of
his reign in the provinces Of his en-
pire until his death, A. D. OF.
While peace prevailed he visited AL
exandria, a chief center then Of wit
and learning, and there some one hung
up in the theater joke made at the
emperor's expense. This so enraged
Caracalla that he caused the citizens
to be assembled outside the city on
the plain and told them that they
should shortly see that his wit was
practical.
Then from secure post in the tenn
pie of Scraps he directed the slaugh-
ter of many thousand innocent citizens

They We're talking of strange adven.
tures. The big man from the north
west told of one which astonished his
hearers.
"Some years ago." he said, II was
sleighing in the country. and my way
lay across a frozen river. l knew the
ice was thin. but was determined to
cross. The team scurried over the riv-
er under whip, and we were midway
between the shores when the ice sud-
denly gave way. and the sleigh. horses
and myself sank within a second to the
bottom. However. the speed of the
horses was so great that we were car
ried by the momentum safe upon the
other shore, a little wet. to be sure,
but not much the worse for that
The thin, silent man had listened
with great interest to the story.
ut is strange" he said. but the
same sort of an accident happened to
me. The issue. however. was more
tragic
The big man squinted at the speaker
"And what was the issue?" he asked
suspiciously.
'Well. was drowned" said the thin
man seriously.
