RELIGIOUS TATTOOlNG.
A Custom That Is In Vogue In One
Part of Italy.

In the vanity section of a museum
at Florence there is an interesting coll
lection of blocks used for what is call
ed religious tattooing" among italian
peasants of the district inclosed be-
tween the Abruzzi, Umhria and the
Adriatic.
Peasants in these parts at work with
shirt sleeves rolled up display Chris
tan symbol of some sort or a text tat
tooed in blue ink on their brown skin.
This has been imprinted on the occa
sion of some special festival
A wooden block is pressed upon the
tightly drawn skin to mark the out
lines Of the design. This is then pune
tured, and blue ink is rubbed into
the wounds, which usually heal IN
about twenty-four hours. The custom,
which is essentially Christian. is III

OPEN AIR TREATMENT
Reasons For It's Good Results
Cases of Consumption.

Reasons For It's Good Results In
Cases of COnsumptiOn.
The advantages of the open air treat
ment for consumptyes may be thus
briefly summarized: The patient ey-
posed continuously to fresh air gains III
appetite, assimilates his food better.
sleeps more soundly and awakens more
refreshed Free exposure to air is the
best antipyretic. Sweating at night.
formerly so common a symptom, usual
ly ceases. Colds are practically un-
known among patients leading an open
air life. Secondary infection, on ae-
count Of the comparative freedom OF
the air from micro organisms, is much
less likely to occur Tolerance of OUT
side air is very quickly established, and
no one who has tried the open air life
will willingly go back to the former
conditions of stiffness have never
seen any one made worse by exposure
to fresh air. Even during a thick Lon
don fog patients get on better lying in
bed on a balcony or in rooms with win
doWs wide open and a good fire burn
ing than when attempts are made to
shut out the fog by keeping the win
dows shut.-Dr Ell. ". 6. Mackenzie

sword Stands In Churches.

Sword stands came into use in Lon
don churches when it became custom
airy to carry the city sword before the
lord mayor as he went to church i'll
state During service the sword was
placed in the stand or case provided
for it, and IN his own church the lord
mayor generally had the stand placed
conveniently near to or in his family
pew. This custom, which was quite
common before the end of the six
teenth century, apparently began IN
the reign OF Elizabeth. The state Wis
its to the city churches were discontin-
ued in the I1ayoralty of Sir R. n. FoW-

SEWING COTTON.
The Humble Origin of the Great
Thread Industry.

The Humble Origin of the Great
Thread Industry.
The origin of sewing cotton was told
ht a cotton manufacturers meeting by
the head of the great thread house of
Paisley, Scotland. 1t was discovered
In 1903 by his grandfather, who had
little business in Paisley. making silk
Irvine for heddles, which were used by
every weaver. The silk came from
Hamburg, aud in 1903 Napoleon caused
the stock he'd there to be burned in Or
der to hamper British trade. The weav-
ers were in despair, but James Clark
conceived tie idea that cotton yarns
could be twisted together to form the
twines.
The experiment succeeded, and from
this grew the idea that cotton could be
substituted for fax in the manufacture
of sewing thread and would not be SO
coarse and harsh. He began the manu-
facture of The thread in very small
way. 1t was at first put UP in skeins
and had to DE wound into little balls by
the purchaser, and then Mr.. Clark in
vented the modern spools. He had them
made by wood turner, half a gross at
a time They cost him sixpence doz-
en-. and he charged the purchaser of the
thread balfpenny for the spool,
which, however, was refunded when
the spool was returned. The ladies of
Paisley used to come TO his shop with
their spools and wait while he wound
the thread on them. From this small
beginning grew great industry.

A SCHOOL FOR SPIDERS.
The Insects Taught to Weave Their
Webs Only on Bottles.

The Insects Taught to Weave Their
Webs Only on Bottles.
''This is my spiders school," said the
young woman, and with little stick
she brushed few webs from the wall
mot much to look at. is it? Only a
dozen rows of wine bottles, a great
many spiders and Il great many webs.
I make nevertheless a little money
out of the school.
spiders webs are in demand among
surgeons and among the makers of GER
tain astronomical instruments, the sur
geons using them to stop hemorrhages
with and the instrument makers using
them in certain very delicate inStru-
ments-instruments wherein, strange to
say, a human hair would not take their
place. because q hair is neither fine
enough nor durable enough to serve the
required purpose.
Besides selling the webs I also sell
the spiders A corrupt class of wine
dealers buy the spiders. These men
put them among bottles of new wine.
I train the spiders to weave on bottles
bnly-I tear down webs woven any
where else-and it is amazing how
quickly these well schooled pupils of
mine will cover a case of port or claret
with cobwebs, giving to the wine an
appearance Of great age.
six spiders in a week will add two
years to the aspect of dozen bottles

The Gentleman.

1.-THE true gentleman" said Cardinal
Newman, carefully avoids whatever
may cause jar or jolt in the minds of
those with whom he is cast-all clash
ing of opinion, all collision of feeling
his great concern being to make every
one at his ease and at home He guards
against unreasonable illusions or topics
which may irritate. He never speaks
Of himself except when compelled,
never defends himself by mere re-
tort. He is scrupulous in imputing mo-
tives to those who interfere with him
and interprets everything for the best.
He is never mean or little in his dis
putes, never takes an unfair advantage,
never mistakes personalities or sharp
sayings for arguments

Asks Federal investigation of Enter

 Harrisburg, Pa, Oct. Ex-Governor Pennypacker this evening made pub lie the following copy of letter which he sent today to President Roosevelt asking for Q Federal investigation into the affairs of the Enterprise National Bank of Allegheny:
 October 25, 1905. "To the President, Washington. D. C.: "sir-The Enterprise National Bank. doing business in Allegheny, has re- It's deposits s1,030,000 of the moneys of this commonwealth. These moneys were deposited upon the faith of sta bility of the institution arising through its organization as a national bank and because of these deposits the com monwealtf is much interested in the ascertainment of the condition of It's financial affairs.
 Our Commissioner of Banking has no such power to make such investiga- ton. Since it was organized under Federal law and subject to your super vision, write to ask that a full com plete and careful investigation may be made so that everything connected with the condition of it's affairs and the causes which have led to such condition may be fully disclosed. I am ready to render all the assistance fin my power to secure a thorough entertainment of the facts.
 'I am, sir, with respect.
 Very truly yours.
