1901 Indians, making total Of 453. .l07.

PARCHMENT.
7t Was Invented by the Greeks When
Papyrus Was Scarce.

It Vas Invented by the Greeks When
Papyrus Was Scarce.
There is no evidence that papyrus
was grown for commercial purposes
outside Of Egypt during the whole
Roman period, and the industry Of It's
growth and manufacture must have
been a large and profitable one. In
the time Of Tiberius a sedition was
nearly caused by scarcity of paper,
and a rebellious paper maker, In the
days of Aurelian, boasted that he could
equip an army from the profits Of his
business-and did it too.
Parchment was invented by the
Greeks when papyrus was scarce, and
the middle ages reinvented it. There
is evidence that linen rags were used
in paper making as early as the eighth
and ninth centuries. In paper Of that
period the fiber was chiefly linen, with
traces of cotton, hemp and other fberz
The known specimens are Of oriental
origin and appear to have been clayed,
like modern papers, the material used
being a starch paste manufactured
from wheat
The oldest manuscript written on
cotton paper in England is In the Brit
ish museum and dates from 1049 A. D..
and the oldest on the same material In
the Paris National library Is dated
1850. In 1885 the Christian SUCCESSORS
CT sthe snaaish saracens made paper
Of rags instead Of raw cotton, which
had been formerly employed.

NEW YORK FASHIONS.

The sr'artest petticoats are of soft
India silk instead of tafetta.
Petticoats must fit snugly about the
waist, and for. several inches below it.
The corset most favored is the r. 4
G., as it is so perfectly made that it
brings out the good lines of the figure,
and suppresses the bad ones.
An exquisite fad is to have full sets
Of underwear in co!ors. Lord and
Taylor show set in baby blue In
dia silk of the best qrality, trimmed
with real Valenciennes lace; and run
with blue satin ribbons.
The newest corset covers have a
seam under each arm only. A little
fnllness appears at the waist in back.
The full fronts are hand embroidered.
Petticoats, sunshades, feather boas
and ribbons show rainbow japanese
colorings.
Black costumes are lightened in
effect by embroidered satin trimming.
Many of the handsome black gowns
are embroidered in black.

AN OLD WELSH HOME. :

Description of an Interior, With 1ts
=. Sanded Slate Flags.
Robert Fowler in his book, ''Beauti-
full Wales,"'. makes this pretty descrip-
ton Of an old Welsh home: The floor
was of sanded slate flags and on them
a long, many legged table, an oak set
tie, a table piano and some Chippen-
dale chairs. There were also two tall
clocks, and they were the most human
clocks I ever met, for they licked with
effort and uneasiness. They found the
hours troublesome and did not twitter
mechanically over them, and at mid
mig ht the twelve strokes always nearly
ruined them, so great was the effort
"On the wall were large portrait
of ,Spurgeon, several sets. Of verses.
printed and framed, In memory. OF
dead members Of the family, an allie
gorical tree watered by the devil and
photographs Of a bard There were
about fifty. well used books near the
f.ei and two or three men smoking
and one man reading some serious
book aloud by the only lamp, and q girl
was carrying out the weeks baking OF
large loaves, fiat fruit tarts Of black
berry apple and whinberry, plain gold
en- cakes, large, soft currant biscuits
and curled oat cakes.
"And, outside, the noises Of q west
wind and a flooded stream, the whim-
per. Of an otter and the. long, slow
laugh Of an owl, and always silent, but

The Paris FrOtteur.

Almost every one who has lived in
Paris at some time OF other made the
acquaintance Of the frotteur, whose
sole business it is to polish oak floors.
The typical frotteur is quite a charac-
ter He is urbane and patronizing. He
confers an immense favor upon you by
condescending to beeswax your floors,
but he has tact enough not to make you
uncomfortable, and so long as you
show a proper respect for the profess
sion of which he is member he Is
politeness itself. He never fails to
take great interest in his customers
and knows all about their friends, their
income and their private affairs gener-
ally. Idiosyncrasies of the Paris frot-
teur have their drawbacks, but, on the
whole, the corporation is made up of
very useful members of society,". for
whom their customers generally enter
tain kind Of amiable weakness.

RULES FOR CYCLISTS.
Quaint Regulations That Are En-
forced In Foreign Lands.

Quaint Regulations That Are En-
forced In Foreign Lands.
In some foreign countries and cities
there are rules and regulations for wo-
men cyclists which are decidedly
quaint, according to the American way
Of thinking.
: Russian women are not allowed to
own cycles except by royal permission.
and it is sparingly given. In fact, un-
til comparatively lately, there have
been but few Russian wheelw0men,
and the majority Of these belonged to
the royal family.
: In France women cyclists are plenti-
full, but a curious law exists which
prevents a married woman Joining q
touring club unless she can present
signed declaration from her husband
that he is willing that she should do so.
In Germany women cyclists . are
obliged to pass an examination before
the city police showing that they have
perfect control Of their bicycles before
they can obtain permission TO ride In
the streets, and they must carry with
them their license on their cycles.
In Vienna no wheelwoman Is allow
ed to take her hands from the handle
bars while riding in the streets, and In
Florence the fair cyclist Is compelled
to carry two bells on her machine to
warn pedestrians of her vicinity. = -
These rules are all for the special
benefit Of women and do not1apply to
men who dorlhtleSs are consfderod
more capable Of controlling the va
garies Of the giddy wheel.-New York

a PUEBLO LEGEND.
The Story Of the Great Flood and the
Monster Turtle.

The Story of the Great Flood and the
Monster Turtle.
The children Of the Tuebio Indians
have a Noah's ark of their own, and
some of the animals it contains are
very curious indeed-such animals, in
fact, as civilized young people are not
acquainted with. Among them are
mountain goats, queer creatures Of the
cat tribe and prong horned antelopes.
All Of these animals are made out Of
clay and baked LIE pottery, after
which they are painted in quite an
a-'tistic and lifelike fashion.
Like most other peoples, the Pueblo
Indians have tradition of a great
flood The catastrophe occ1.red long
ago, when they lived in the ancient
land of their forefathers. One day the
earth began to shake and strange
rumblings grew louder and louder un-
til at length an opening yawned in
the middle Of the central square Of
the town. Cut Of the opening gushed
a mighty stream of water, overwhelm-
ing the houses and flooding the val
their live stock to II ghboring noun
tainS
Presently there rose out Of the hole
in the earth the head of a gigantic
turtle, which lowered to tie very roof
Of the sky. Everybody was terror
stricken, but the chief man Of the
town, whose name ought to have been
Noah, plucked up the courage to ask
the great reptile what it wanted. The
turtle replied that it was hungry and
that its appetite could be appeased
only by tie sacrifice Of a young man
and young woman. There was moth
ing to do but to obey, and so a hand
some youth and a beautiful girl were
delivered UP to the turtle, which took
them in its mouth and sank with them
through the hole. Immediately all Of
the water flowed away, and in the
place where the reptile had appeared
there rose Up large black rock, which,
according to the myth, may be seer TO
this day, testifying to the truth Of the
story. .. "a
Unfortunately, the deluge left things
in such damp and uncomfortable
condition, after destroying all of the
houses and most of the portable prop
erty, that the people thought it wisest
to go away. So they started on a
journey northward, the whole tribe Of
them, and the crane, which is sacred
bird, flew ahead to pick out the driest
route. At length they came to the re-
gion which their descendants now in
habit and which is so extremely dry
that the water supply'i is always sub
ject of anxiety.
