Slow Working Weavers.

There are weavers who turn out
only one yard of stuff year. They are
the Gobelin tapestry weavers. who work
in the factory in Paris, which is own
ed by the French government. They
average in the year only from one to
three yards of goods, according to the
ineness of the weave and the intricacy
of the pattern. These weavers work
at hand looms, where they put in the
filing. or welt, with shuttle held In
the left hand. The back of the tapes
try Is toward them. A mirror shows
them the other side. Baskets OF wool
In every shade or color surround them
They use 1. 400 tones In ALL Skilled as
these workmsn are, their pay is no
bigger than that Of the ordinary Amer
lean Ahorsr. They get about $500 a
year On an average. or about $12 a
week. These Gobelin tapestries, re-
curing years in this making, are Of
course very expensive. An offer of
$4,000 wouldn't get some of them.
New Gebelins you can't buy at all.
The French government has them
made to give away as presents to its
frlends-peop'e Of power and position

Prize Winners at Masquerade.

The Hard Times" on roller skates
at the Wenatchee rink last evening
was one of the most humorous affairs
ever given at the rink. The partici-
pants in the skating were all dressed
in the garments which had erstwhile
been relegated to the ragbag and
many astonishing effects in hard
times attire were produced. After
an evening of fun and laughter the
prizes were awarded, William Berger
Of the Little & Wetsel market secur-
ing first and Jack LAWYER second. Mr..
Berger's costume was made of bur-
lap and tied with Irvine strings. Mr..
Lawler looked the part of typical
Weary Willie" and carried a sack
of lunch under his arm. Other skat-
ers on the floor had gotten I'D some
very ludicrous costumes and any one
attending last night was sure to be
cured of the blues. Judges of the
contest were Mrs. H. T. Thompson.
Miss Alva Thompson and Mrs. W. H.
Dibble.

Big Shipment OF Cattle.

A large number OF beef cattle
which have been held in the local
stockyards for the past 10 days await
ing shipment to the other side of the
Cascades were shipped out of here on
Thursday. Three cars each were sent
to Frye-Bruhn and company at Seat
tie, the Bruhn-Henry at Snohomish
and the Snohomish Grocery company
at the same place. Mr.. Potts, the buy
er for the Frye-Rruhn company, has
been in the city for some time wait
ing for an opportunity to ship out
the cattle. The high price of hay
and consequent cost of feeding has
brought up the price Of these cattle
above the ordinary and beef promises
to bring good figure in the near fu-
ture owing to the severe winter and
the blockade on the roads which ne
cessitates feeding the cattle longer
than usua! at way stations. The cat
tie which were shipped out from here
were brought from the Methow and
Waterville country.

CHAPTER K.

"HE next two months were busy
ones for Brewster. Miss Drew
saw him quite as often as be-
d fore the important interview,
but he was always puzzle to her.
His attitude is changed somehow"
she thought to herself. And then she
remembered that "a man who wins a
girl after an ardent suit is often like
one who runs after street car and
then sits down to read his paper"
In truth, after the first few days
Monty seemed to have forgotten his
competitors and was resting in the
consciousness Of his assured position
Each day he sent her flowers and CON
sidered that he had more than done
his duty. He used no small part Of
his income on the flowers. but in this
case his mission was almost forgotten
in his love for Barbara
Monty's attitude was not due to any
waning of his affection, but to the
very unromantic business In which he
was engaged. 1t seemed to him that,
plan as he might, he could not devise
fresh ways and means to earn $4,000

active. The feel of the air was good
70 him. He was exhilarated by tbs
glitter Of the snow. the answering ex-
element Of his horse. the gay.ty AID
sparkle Of hfs about him.
Somewhere far back in hig inner self
there seemed to be the sound OF cheer
ing and the clap2irg Of hands short
" before noon he reached his club,
where he was to lunch with Colonel
Drew. In the reading room he ob-
ssrved that men were looking at him
In a manner lsss casual than was Gus
tomary Some Of them went so far
as to smile eacouragingly. and others
waved their hands in the moss cordial
fashion. Three or four very young
members looked upon him with adj
miratioR and envy, and even the por-
tiers seemed more obsequious. There
was something strangely oppressive in
all this show Of Difference
Colonel Drew's dignity relaxed amaz-
insly whom he caught sight Of the
young man. He came forward to meet
him, and his greeting almost carried
Monty OF his feet.

 The gifts had all been given, The holidays were past, And, dozing in his armchair,
 With his cat upon his knees, The good saint smoked his honest pipe And took his honest ease. But something reused him quickly. He started from his seat. A soldier bold, a maiden fair,
 Were kneeIing at his feet. "st. Nicholas" the maiden cried, "Behold my fearful pliehtl These wounds have been inflicted Since that dreadful, dreadful night When you left me in the stocking Of a being dare not name" She paused. The soldier raised his

 Mrs. Botsford spoke eager

 Yes; I sent her round to the kitchen entrance"
 'Can she cook?"
 ''She is neat and very nice looking" MT. Botsford temporlzed defensively. ''She says she can do every kind of housework from up garret to down eel lar."
 "But can she cook-fancy dishes, I mean?"
 "She says that she had quite a repu- tation at home for plain. wholesome cooking. and she is willing to learn. I told her what you wanted"
 Mrs. Botsford dropped upon a stool, her eyes filling.
 'Oh, John," she calculated. 'it's II o'clock now, and Cousin Edwards fan cee is coming at o'clock to stay until Saturday, and she and Edward and some of her people will be here for Christmas dinner tomorrow, and you know I have never seen the girl or any of them. We must have things nice. The girls worth a clear million in her own right. Oh.

There's a corner on servants. especially cooks. at this season. The only suggestion of one besides Sarah was a ten dollar a day chef who commences on a regular job Monday. Of course you don't want a chef for two days"
 Mrs. BotsfOrd sprang to her feet, her face suddenly radiant

Where Seal Meat and Whales BIubbsr

 q think Christmas, 1883. was my most memorable one," said General Greedy, the artic explorer. with my command was proceeding southward in the hope of obtaining help, and about the 20th of October we en- sconced ourselves in a little hut at Cape Sabine. Our supply of food was running very low, and we were on very short rations, every one being al- lowed just food enough in each twen- ty-four hours to sustain life. Under these depressing circumstances and amid the awful silence of the polarl night the cheerfulness that we contin-I ued to maintain was remarkable.
 Christmas day came at last-Christ-I mas in the arctic regions! At 6 o'clock | we had our breakfast-thin soup made of peas, carrots, blubber and potatoes. Our Christmas dinner was served at 1 o'clock-frst course, a stew of seal meat, onions, blubber, potatoes and breadcrumbs; second course, served one hour after first, stew of raisinsI blubber and milk; dessert, a cup of hot chocolate. One of our party had some totncco still left, and he very kindly made a cigarette for each ont in our little party.
 'T will wager that in all Christen dom that day not another present wa given or received that gave such in tense delight to the recipients as di] those little rolls of tobacco and paper They were quickly afame and bein puffed away at for dear life. and thu my most memorable Christmas Christmas near the north pole-ende in smoke."-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Women Chosen Lawmakers.

Nineteen women holding seats In
Congress. What do you think Of it?
Not in any little congress of wo-
mems clubs or anything of that sort,
but in the lawmaking body of a ma
ton. Not one in 10000 persons in
this quarter of the globe knows this
is a fact, although there is really no
reason why they should not know it.
These women have won congression-
al honors and assumed the duties of
lawmakers in Finland At the elec-
tion held in that country only a
couple of weeks. ago the Socialists
developed surprising strength and,
consistent with their pretensions,
they nominated number of women
for Congressional seats. This forced
the other parties to do the same
thing. When the ballots were count
cd it was found that 10 women had
been elected, nine Of them Socialists.
They have taken their seats and
promise to make good lawmakers.
To fully appreciate the Importance
of this, it must be borne in mind that
never before have women or a wo-
man been elected to the national law
making body of any country.-Wo-
mans National Daily.

How Marbles Are Made.

Most Of the stone marbles used by
boys are made in Germany. The re-
fuse only of the marble and agate
quarries is employed, and this is
treated in such a way that there is
practically no waste. Men and boys
are employed to break the refuse
stone into small cubes, and with
their hammers they acquire a mar
velous dexterity. The little cubes
are then thrown into a mill consist
Ing Of a grooved bedstone and a re-
volving runner. Water is fed to the
mill and the runner is rapidly re-
volved, while the friction does the
rest. In half an hour the mill is
stopped and bushel or so of per
fectly rounded marbles are taken out.
The whole process costs the merest
trife.-Philadelphia Record.
