LACEs MADE BY HINDOOs,
Hand Made Textiles of Marvellous Beauty shown at Worlds Fair
 Eaaf India Pavilion

The handwoven hand-dyed and hand embroidered textiles exhibited in the East India Pavilion at the Worlds Fair are, to the artistic eyes of wo- men. splendid revelation of decora- tive possibilities. The machine- made limitations from Manchester may seem as beautiful to the masses, but the eve of the trained critic finds an individ- uality and a soft blending of colors and weird designs in the hand wrought fa- brics which no machinery can dupli- cate.
 The Indian weaver and dyer lives where human life and labor are most superabundant and cheap and time most valueless. He Is an illiterate man; and all the rules of his art, all the minutiae of web and wool all the secrets of his dye pots, all the formu- lac for his fabrics and designs. are oral traditions memorized and repeated in a monotnous sing song as he performs the prescribed manipulations in his slow, careful and absorbed manner. You would think him performing some mystical religious rite as you hear him singing his directions to himself while preparing his various dyes, or twist ing around his cloth the knots and wreaths of thread that are to shield it in spots from the dye and produce the wonderful patterns of his dream after a succession of plunges In the different colors.
 The beautiful lace dye is made of myriads of minute insects and never fades. The printing of silks and COL tons by means of hand blocks is au- other Indian industry, producing prints artistically superior to any machine printing.
 While the men do this exquisite weaving and coloring. the elaborate and much admired embroideries of In- dia are the work of women The de- signs and stitches are handed down as a precious heritage from mother to daughter. and the expert can easily tell where each product halls from. This is especially the case with respect 10 the Phulcarri patterns, which form part of the bridal outfit and dowry of the Hindoo woman. The silken petti- coats embroidered for the daughters of the Rajputs arc often used in decora- tive arrangement.
 The metal wrought woolen fabrics shown are used as table spreads or saddle covers. and the refined gold used in them Is untarnishable.
 The subdued and blended coloring of these textiles makes them invaluable for harmonizing stronger tints in dec- oration.
 The province of Scind sends many f1ne embroideries to the Worlds Fair. The designs are curious conventional ized peacocks and mythical animals. The indigo textiles generally wrought with gold or scarlet thread are curious demonstrations of Oriental taste; tiny

The Grnpdmo.her Who was an Athlete

They were fat sluggish, middle aged women who padded feebly in the salt water In vain hope of reducing their flesh.
 The handsome white haired woman plunged into the water and moved through 1t with the easy motion of the

practiced swimmer. The eyes of the fat women who, hanging on to the supporting rope, spluttered feebly in the water followed enviously the movements of the white haired bather.
 "Ah. there's swimmer for you! they exclaimed. Who was she, and was she young or old? From her ap- pearance the latter question was one nobody could answer Her form and movement were those of trained ath- letic girl of twenty, while her com plexion was one that any girl of twen- ty might be proud to possess. But then her white hair and a certain undoubt- ed look of maturity and experience in her face--well, who was she anyhow?

Low RATES SOUTH.
Special Rates VIII Bring Many Pros

 The attention of the Immigration Committee of the Commercial and In- dustrial Association is being attracted to the homeseekers' rates in force dur inS the months of August, September and October on all the Western rail roads.

Southern and Queen and Crescent systems will make a rate of one fare. plus 50 cents, for the round trip from St. Louis and Cincinnati to points in Alabama and other Southern States. It is thought, this will induce a large number of prospectors to visit this section during the next three months, and will be of great benefit to this State. The Immigration Com mittee of the Association will meet Monday evening at 6 o'clock to organ ize and plan out the years work.

There is no disease so surely fatal as diabetes. or any other form of Kidney disease. These organs have important work to do. their main function being to remove all impuri- lies from the system. When they be- come deranged, or fail to act prompt ly, this poisonous matter stagnates and remains in the system with serious results.
