rom the tapestry. In the latter
mere Is q mistiness about the col
ors, and the pattern lacks that
sharpness and delicacy which char.
acterize the former. This Is dne -
the process Of manufacture. a brus.
sells y yarn dyed, and a tanestr,
may be described as a printed fab,
nc but the printing is done upon
the yarn before the process of weay-
ing. way
The whole method of manufac-
ture IS most ingenious. In the max
ing OF five frame brussels no fewe,
than 1880 ends Of face yarns are
required for the weaving of one
piece OF standard quality, each frame
consisting of $50 bobbins, and 256
ends only can come to the face at
each pick of the pattern. There
fore LOLA ends of yarn are hidden
IN the body Of the fabric. There are
many qualities of tapestry, but in
the production of the standard DUAL
ity only ZIG ends of face warn are
required instead of 1890, which
shows at once that the brussels car
pet has the great advantage Of being
thicker, softer and altogether a
more durable cloth apart from other
advantages which it possesses. There
Is limitation in the number of col
ors used in brussels. In tapestry
there is no limit. In the brussels
the whole of the colors used show
more or less striped appearance at
the back of the fabric.
In a tapestry they do not show at
the back at all. This fact is made
use of by householders in purchas.
ing carpets, this being about the
only way the average person can tell
the difference between them. In or
der to pass off tapestry as brussels
some ingenious makers have resort
ed to the stripping in regular man
ner Of the backs of the former. The
stripy effect in the latter is broken
and irregular. A casual observation
of the clearly defined character of 8
brussels pattern should enable 6
buyer to distinguish between the
two fabrics.

Locking Raekwstd.

The superstition of the i'll luck OF
looking backward or returning is a
very ancient one, originating doubt
less from Lots wife, Who Cooked
back from behind him" Then he was
led by an angel outside the doomed
city Of the plain. In Roberts "Orl-
entail Illustrations" it is stated to be
considered exceedingly unfortunate
in Hindustan for men or women to
look back when they leave their
houses. Accordingly if a man goes
out and leaves something behind I,
him which his wife knows he Will
want she does not call him to turn
or look back, but takes or sends 1t
after him, and-if some great emer-
gency obliges him to look back ne
will not then proceed OH the busl-
ness he was about to transact.

ingly honest people give way to
temptation and commit what are
comparatively small breaches and
yet certainly are transgressions
against honesty.
eve have had three instances Of
it during the past week. One lady,
a regular customer of ours, had
charged to her account brass ket-
tie costing about 81. The delivery
man made a mistake and took it to
the wrong apartment, and the lady
there, neighbor and acquaintance
of our customer, received the pack
age and kept it. She does not deny
it, but simply refuses to give the
kettle up. She says the mistake
was not hers, and she sees no reason
why she should right it. OF course
we had to right it with our Gus
toner.
"Another woman, also an old Gus
toner, had some expensive draperies
sent to her house on Saturday. The
Monday following our man went up
to see about the hanging of them,
and she told him she had decided
not to take them. When the hang
ings were returned to us they show
ed unmistakable signs of having
been used and even slightly injured.
The papers described that woman as
having given big entertainment on
that particular Sunday, and the de-
duction is easy to make.
"Still another woman ordered
from our ready to wear suit depart
ment handsome black coat, which
happened to fit her without altera-
ton. It was delivered one day and
returned the next. When examined,
it was found to have been worn, and
worn hard, too, as there were
splotches Of mud on the bottom
edges. We had reason to believe
that woman had been obliged to at
tend a funeral and took that meth
cd of avoiding the purchase Of a
black garment.

Lorrain and Nature.

By the great Italian masters land

as a background for the figures.
Claude Lorrain went step farther,
making his figures of comparatively

his effort upon the ideal or heroic
character Of the landscape, into
which he incorporated the beauty
of architecture. He was close stu

ms loves were tragic, MS death,
which at first l thought only tragic
force, is actual tragedy. Byron and
Napoleon, contemporaries, were the
analogues and compliments of each
other. Byron is the passive tragedy
Of the imaginative temperament as
poet, using expression. Napoleon is
the active tragedy of the magma
tive temperament as warrior and

have obtained optiens AZ about forty
sheet and tin plate plants that are
known as Independents. and operated
in competition with the United States

moters will merge the concerns into one

This is the third time such q move
has been made. The problem is to get
away from the high price OF sheet bars.
