BULGARIAN Embroidery.

The popular Bulgarian embroidery"
originated in Constantinople. During
the Bulgarian atrocities" and the
Russo-Turkish war many thousands of
Bulgarian women were torn from
their homes and made prisoners in the
harems of Constantinople. They were
clever embroiderers. but they knew
nothing of drawnwork until the Turk
ish women taught them. Then they
combined the two arts, making a
drawnwork foundation for their en-
broidery and thus obtaining much bet
ter effects.

The Tartan.
ON the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
Gordon tartan has always been worn by
the Gordon Higlanders. raised by the gal
liant young marquis. who appeared before
the king, and 1t has been mora popular
perhaps than any other tartan. Thirty
years ago Scots bard wrote the following
lines which have become the locus ciassicus
or the tartan:
My heart aye warns wheneir see
The tartan waving DER the knee.
And tho I'm fond o. a. the rest.
like the Gordon tartan best
1t is rather appropriate that the great
mass of the wooden tartans made in this
this way keeps on fighting the battls OF
the Bruce. Considerable ingenuity Is shown
In the designs adopted. and designers have
spent much ingenuity In fnventing pat.
terms. BY far the most striking kind OF
tartan is that which has green as the dorni-
nanf background In opposition to the red
so dominant In the Scott. the Sinclair, and
the Stuart tartans. and the awful yellow of
the MacLeods and Macmilians.
The tartan as worn in kits Is cut to hang
in squares This method tends to shorten
the figure, and bears out the criticism that
a short woman wears a tartan skirt at her
with isnpunity by cutting 1t 80 that the
squares hang in diamond shape. In any
case. = tartan has to be extremely well
made to look well. 1t Is scarcely material
that woman With only one dress TO spare
should use. for II Is undoubtedly saken spec
kle." But the present fashion IS welcome
as tending to bring touch of color into the
needIessly somber garments Of our London
winter.

The Tough.

From the Brooklyn Eagle
We command men when we trust the
good in ourselves and have equal faith in
the good that is in them. Force as a part
OF that command we resist, conscientiously
and instinctiyely. and we hate the con-
duct that proclaims, 'If I can't be re-
spected will at least be feared" There
is considerable element in this country
especially In the cities, that conceiyes Itself
important because it exercises force, but of
q physical sort. Mental force 1t usually
lacks in proportion to It's muscle. and
moral force 1t holds in sort of disdain as
something not quite manly This element
may not admire the burglar nor the wife,
beater; its ideal is rather the prize fighter
as an embodiment of sheer material impor-
lance, and because Of this aloefness from
what another class regards as lifting and
fine We say that the class protesting it is
tough
In our government we are represented
largely by the tough. He has a seat in
every board of aldermen; he takes our
names at the polls and makes playful
gibes about them if the names are IN
usual; he is always on hand at the political
meeting, roaring with voice to startIe
pigeons. and firing pistols for joy when
his candidate is elected. He winks at some
financial processes because he, 1.-The peo-
pie" as he is fond of naming himself,
needs the money for which political con-
tractors are ever scheming. He drinks
more than Is good for him, relying on the
captain of his district to prevent his arrest
or punishment If he is noisy in his cups
He uses dreadful language, and has faint
despite against adults who use better, re-
garding it as affectation. He begins his
career as mud lark who loafs on the
corners and smokes discarded cigarettes
and he ends either in the legislature or in
Sing Sing.
He is a dreadful trial, the American
tough. II 1t were not for him We should
have no yellow press, no slum theater, no
Coney Island. and but one in ten of our
saloons. Our elections would be clean and
pretty, and the church bells would ring
oftener. Mechanic labor would go about
with its head up and not cringing under
the lash of the walking delegate The
police would be disbanded and jails would
be rented to Sunday schools

$OLD PORTAGE RAILROAD LINE :
{
E~Nt~~Nt~,~,la~~.~>N>,-eo

For some time prior to 1900 travel
across Pennsylvania had been in
canoes and in river barges propelled
by poles or along the shores of riv.
ers by horse and foot and by inter-
vening portages on Indian trails, con-
meeting points on the different rivers.
The Philadelphia-Pitts national
pike was built upon such a substantial
basis that wherever undisturbed one
still finds the gracefully modelled
arches of solid masonry almost intact.
after more than a century has passed.
The completion Of the Old Portage
railroad by the state Of PENNSYLVANIA
III 1884 put an end to the time-hon-
| ored "coach and SIX with the manv
picturesque and commodious inns and
taverns along the line of this broad
| macadamized toll road, which with
it's substantial construction was. in
point Of endurance, second only to
the Roman military roads of Great
Britain.
This Old Portage road was con-
structed from material brought from
England. The British government
sent over experienced engineers to in
struct the Americans in the running
OF the stationary steam engines used
upon the inclined planes Of the road
in the Allegheny mountains. The rail-
roads highest point was about 2.700

the ships side with the powerful fluke
OF it's tail.
This was observed by the boatswain
and some of the men who were watch
ing the affair through the side ports
Immediately over the tail of the fish.
The marks enabled the commander af-
terward to make fairly accurate meas
urements. From mark to stem it was
forty-fve feet. In girth it was appar-
entity about the volume of one of the
ships lifeboats at the broadcast part,
say eight feet in diameter, very grace
fully tapering away toward the tail.
The body appeared to be of a green
ish-brown color with large dark spots
all over the back and sides, the lower
parts being of dull white.
1t was first observed by one of the
seamen, who heard knocking against
the ships side. When the news was
passed along the decks all the pas
sengers, young and old, performed a
mad stampede into the forecastle to-
look at the unhappy prisoner. The
engines were stopped as soon as pos
sible and reversed, but fully quar-
ter of an hour elapsed between the
first discovery and the final clearance,
by which time the creature was either
dead or completely exhausted, for it
sank slowly, tail first.

Report Real Sea Sc rpent

Rudyard Kipling has seen his Sec
ond sea serpent, according to a story
which comes with some seriousness
from Cape Town. People who read
Kipling's first sea-serpent story
thought it was merely brilliant piece
OF fiction. This second sea serpent
story is not told by Kipling, but by
the skipper Of the steamship Arma-
dale Castle. The sea serpent was
seen-in fact, it was struck by the
ship and probably killed-while the
Armadale Castle was on her last voy-
age to Cape Town, in latitude 3 de.
grees south. Mr.. Kipling was aboard
the ship.
Commander Robinson is not sure
whether the creature struck was a
real sea serpent, queer whale or a
greatly overgrown shark. Whatever
it was, the thing was hit by the bow
OF the ship where, in all properly
regulated fishes, the pectoral fin ex-
lists. The head was doubled across
the port bow and the tail trailed away
along the starboard side. The vio-
lent struggles of the creature to free
itself from it's painful and embarrass-
ing position led to it's striking the soft
brown paint Of the "boot-topping" on

Truth and the Freeman

He is the freeman whom the truth makes
free,
And all are slaves beside. There's not a
chain
That helIish foes confederate for his harm
Can wind around him. but he casts it off
With as much ease as Samson his green
WitheS.
He looks abroad into the varied field
OF nature; and though poor, perhaps,
compared
With those whose mansions glitter in his
sight,
Calls tie delightful scenery all his own.
His arc the mountains, and the valley
his.
And the resplendent rivers. His to enjoy
With a Or tpriety that none can feel,
But Who with tilial confidence inspired,
Can lift to heaven an unpresumptuous

And smiling, say: my father made them

And by an emphasis of interest his,
Whose eyes they fill with tears of holy
Whose heart with praise, and whose ex-

love
That planned and built, and still upholds,
So clothed with beauty for rebellious

feet above sea level: being only 200
feet lower than the neighboring hill,
which is the highest point of the Ale
gheny mountains in Pennsylvania.
The road consisted of ten planes, five
OF which were on either side of the
mountain, and intervening levels. In
1885 the canalboats were so construct
ed that they could be taken in sections
and hauled over the mountain on fiat
cars, without disturbing their cargoes.
The rails were secured to stone Sleep
ers twenty inches square, which were
sunk in the ground
On the Old Portage road the best
time for the forty miles between Hol-
lidaysburg and Johnstown was twelve
hours. Express trains on the Penn
sylvania railroad now run a closely
parallel distance over the Allegheny
mountains in a trifle over one hour.
The passenger traffic on the road in
those days was usually limited to one
car each way day, with a capacity
Of thirty passengers.
In 1854 the Pennsylvania Railroad
company bought the Portage road
from the state of Pennsylvania. Com
mon rumor says that at this time the
state legislature was "greased" and
that not cent of the $47,000,0O0
which was to have been paid for the
read was ever received into the treas
ury of PENNSYLVANIA.

The tipping evil has been abolished

forth that none of the little pages

The new order will put big crimp
in the pocket money Of the young
sters. The side earnings of the pages
have averaged $40 or SIS a month,
and occasionally they would run up'to
twice those figures. Senator Spooner
has the reputation of being the most
liberal Upper in the senate. His fee
was always 25 cents, whether the er-
rand involved trip to his home, up

restaurant for a cigar.

used to remember the boys. The rich
est man in the senate, Clark of Mon
tana, is noted for the way he clings
tc the dimes and nickels.
Another source Of revenue has been
cut off by the new order. Hereafter
there will be no more collection of
speeches, to be sold to senators at
fancy prices. In the old days a col
lection of all the tariff speeches de-
Ivered during session when this
subject was under discussion was
worth $40. When senator offers

having kept his Record, bills and re-
ports in order, the boy must refuse it.
The ban has also been placed on the
old custom of soliciting orders for
fountain pens, knives and little trink-
cts that are kept on tap for the use
Of senators.

Union Of Religious Bodies

A remarkable union of churches has
just been effected in India, where for
the first time religious bodies of both
America and Europe have united in
the organization of a national church.
In the union just accomplished the
Presbyterian Church in the United
States of America, which through it's
board of foreign missions has had i'm
pcrtant work in India for seventy
years, takes a prominent place. 9th
er American churches in the union
are the Reformed Dutch) Church
and the Presbyterian Church OF Can
ada. European churches included are
the Church of Scotland, the United
Free Church of Scotland, the Presby-
terian Church of England and the
PRESBYTERIAN Church of Ireland.
The Cook County herald. [volume] (Grand Marais, Minn.) 1893-1909, 1905-04-15

In all there are eleven different
bodies of Presbyterians working in
India, and they have 80 presbyteries,
with 1872 churches and nearly $4,000
communicates. There has for some
time been Presbyterian Alliance of
India, and at the meeting recently
held in Allahab there was formed a
provisional general assembly. A con-
fession of faith, constitution and can
ons were adopted, and the new church
definitely launched. Missionaries of
the various countries have found
great advantages from their associa-
tlon with each other in the alliance.
and they confidently look for even
larger benefits from the fuller union
now accomplished.
