subject-it may be a portrait or a painting-he
explains, is painted with the figures reversed in
a negative fashion by artist in the exact
colors desired in the tapestry. The weaver then
takes it. builds his loom to fit it, and dyes
threads Of wool and silk to match every shade
in the picture. The loom is strung with the
warp, and the cartoon fastened beneath it face
Up. Then slowly day after day, bending over
the roll and the threads of the warp stream

perhaps a year, have elapsed and the picture
has been spun upon the web. Making a pict-
ure in this fashion, thread upon thread, one
thinks, as he watches the patient workman, is
to a man with a purpose very much like life
itself, only the weaver in the threads of life
does not secure so perfect result.

MR, SCHWAB,S TAPESTRIES
Decorations for HIS ION the Hud-
SON House Made an This Country,

Made on a loom built from a packing case
and couple of shaved logs! And made here in
The Bronx! one can imagine the visitor to "On
the Hudson" Charles NJ. Schwab's new $1,000
coo mouse on Riverside Drive eXclaiming, as he
walks past the tapestry decorations in the Louis
XVI drawing room and the Louis XIV dining
room "TThey look like Gobelins!'
Should the visitor take a train and go up to
Woodlawn he would find out how and why
tapestries resembling Gobelins can be and are
made in this city. In a house two or three
blocks from the station he would find French
man, who has been in this country so long that
he speaks English with little accent and has be-
come a citizen and married American wife.
Like dozen fellow Frenchmen who live in this
dusty neighborhood, he came here eight or ten
years ago to do what he and they had learned
d do at the Gobelin works in Paris The COM
2any Of tapestry workers which came over at
that time numbered perhaps twoscore, but most
If them, dssa tis1ed with the conditions they
found, returned to their native land. A few Of
them, who had left home without performing the
expected military duty could not return, and so
decided to find out what America could do for
them. They became American citizens and mar
ried American women. This man is the leader
of the dozen left in this country, and Of the
weavers OF MT Schwab's tapestries.
The weaver's home is one of the cheaply built
houses which abound in The Bronx and the
other outlying boroughs Of the city. Through
the front window of the second floor, as one
approaches the house, one see him, his dark
head bending over something unseen, pulling
threads back and forth and tying knots.
The loom, apparently, may be almost any kind
of thing. 1t is the skill of the man sitting on
the roughly shaved board at the back, deity
picking up the thread of the warp with thumb
and forefnger and throwing the flute" with
its freight OF wool silk under and over, that
makes the tapestry The loom could be made by
almost any one with saw, hammer. an auger,
. draw shave plane and a few wire nails

ferrtng to the loom. "Zee tapestry, eet is all in

of the subjects used in Mr.. Schwab's new home

months for weaving. Mr.. Hebert hopes to keep
the workmen together and establish tapestry
weaving industry in this country, utilizing
the French weavers now here as nucleus and
teaching Americans the work.

The problem before Admiral Togo

than even the result of a great battle
between the two fleets. Ever since
the first tack on Port Arthur ION
Feb. 8 and 8 of last year, Admiral
Togo's tactics have been those of a
statesman as well as those of a naval
commander Those who have criti-
cised him for not closing in with the
Russians at Port Arthur and destroy
ing them in great fight between
battleships land there are many who
have thus criticised him severely
have forgotten that old homely pro-
verb which says, Don't put all your
eggs in one basket. The entire Japan
csc navy is at present in active SER
vice under Admiral Togo. He has
only five battleships, and it will not
be possible within the next year or
so for Japan to build another first
class fighting ship. During the war,
neutral countries cannot sell her any.
Admiral Togo and the naval depart
ment at Toxic have not forgottenthe
friendly advice" given Japan at the
close of her war with China, and
backed up by the combined fleets of
Russia, Germany, and France. The
Island empire wants no more of such

has been too shrewd and cautious to
risk, for the spectacular advantage
of an open-sea fight, the right arm
of his nation, which alone would
command respect in case of a posi-
BILE European anti-Japanese coalition

.LEOPOLD'S PAGCb
AN EXQUISITE JAPANESE STR
TURE NEAR BRUSSELS.
The Beauty and Luxury Loving Mon
arch Adds Another Gem TO His
Observation-Disclosures Of
the Place.

It is at Laeken and close to the kings
palace. near Brussels, that the japanese
pagoda reaches far up into the quiet,
monotonous sky of Flanders. It stands
on the edge of the royal park, and offers
a piquant air of eastern mystery to the
beholder. which is a sharp contrast to
the prosaic high-road that skirts it.
Its closed door and lattices add to its
inscrutableness, and it suggests some
lonely stranger who refuses to sing the
songs Of his native land in a place OF
exile. But its magnificence and rich col
oring give a welcome note of warmth
and brightness, and it is so beautiful
that no lover of Japanese art should
fail to visit it, even though just at pres
ent the interior is not open to the pub
lie.
When King Leopold first conceived
the idea of placing a Japanese pagoda
on this spot, he found the rocky site he
had chosen so uneven that towards the
road great masses of stone have been
built up, so as to form stable and even
base for the great structure. Then it
seemed too perched as it stood alone to
look artistic, and a large pavilion or
wing has been added which serves as
entrance and staircase to the actual
tower.
Both edifices, Just completed, are mar
vels Of carving and gliding. Some of
the most beautiful specimens of Jap
anese art, and indeed the greater part,
if not the whole, of the exterior of the
pagoda were bought by the king from
the Japanese section at the last Paris
exhibition, and since then his majesty
who takes the greatest interest in his |
novel erection, experimenting every
thing-has employed agents to hunt
Japan for treasures.
Our photographs, just taken, give an
excellent idea of the beauties of the
buildings, though the color scheme is,
of course, lost A double row of rail-
ings protects, from passers-by, the wood
Of the pavilion which is of rich bright
brown, and deeply carved. Here and
there it is touched with red and black,
frightened with gliding, and ornament
ed with plaques of gilded bronze. The
pagoda itself is dark red, relieved with
gold and black, and it's ruddy-tip-tilt
caves, like Surled petals, suggest, as
they rise one above another, some tall,
flower.
Two large double doors, exquisitely
carved, open on each side into a small
square hall. That near the road is for
ublic access, that towards the park Is
the royal entrance.
A short fight of steps on entering
and the visitor turns to find himself
in the grand staircase, which occupies
the whole of the pavilion. Splendid as
are the decorations, the stained glass
windows form the special attraction
here, being the work of the Frenchman,
Jallant, from designs by the best Jap
anese artists, this art being one which
the Japanese have yet to acquire. They
are extremely thick, with much relief, !
painted, and experts consider their rich
ness and mellowness of coloring hut !

CHURCH is REMARKABLE.
Quaint Little Edifce Stands High on
the St. Lawrence Bank
Built in 1857.

High on the bank Of the st. Law
renee at Montreal stands a quaint
little old church that dates back to
1867. 1t is known as NOtre Dame
de BOnsecours. From the land
side it is very unpretentious, but
on the river side far aloft stands a
great golden image of Our Lady of
Good SuccOr, and there is scarce Il
pilot or a bOatman on the river
who passes it without crossing
himself. One who passes into the
dimly lighted interior will be
struck by the rows of miniature
ships swung from the overhead
arches, each always bearing Il
burning taper. One who cares to
make inquiry will hear a quaint
story.
In the beginning the church was
q place where all good Catholics
might go to say their prayers,
make confessions and give their
aims. There were always river
men and ships men among the pi-
GUS visitors. Then back in the
days of the struggles of the pope
to retain his temporal power, a
company of French Canadian
zouaves went from Montreal ia
offer their services to the church
In midseas their ship was over
taken by a great storm and only
by the merest good chance did they
reach Italy in safety. On their re
turn to Canada they had made q
small ship of silver, which was
given as a thanks Offering to the
church on the river bank, anC
hung in the sanctuary, where q
light burns perpetually in remem
brance Of the succOr Of the virgin
in time of need. Since then vari
Gus pilots and others who sail Oh
the river have presented similar
ships from time to time, until nov
a double row swings above tn,
worshipers' heads. And the
church has come to be known By
the name that every sailor on tn,
river loves.
