HISTORY OF TAPESTRY.
The Art Was Known to the Aneien.
Greeks and Egyptians


Flemish artists are believed to have
been the first to make tapestry for use
as a covering for walls The art itself
is certainly very ancient, many Of the
hangings used in Egypt and Greece
being considered true tapestry. Its
subsequent history is obscure, but it
evidently maintained a lingering ex-
istence in the east until the Saracens
revived it and brought it TO Europe.
Tapestry was used by the Saracens
only as drapery or curtains for the
courts of their houses. Embroidery
appears to have served for this pur
pose in northern Europe until after
the twelfth century, and much of the
work OF this period was really EN-
broidery, such as the incorrectly named
Bayeux tapestry. 1t was in the four
tenth century that tapestry began to
be largely made in Flanders, where the
weaving industry became very impOr-
tant. AT that time twenty-seYen
streets were occupied by the weavers
of Client. In 1882 there were 5000
weavers in Louyain and more still at
Ypres. Very few samples OF four
teenth century tapestry remain, but
those that have come down to the
present day closely resemble contem-
porary wall painting. During the lat
ter part of the fifteenth century the
golden age Of tapestry existed, especial
ly in Bruges and Arras. The Flemish
of that time are models of
textile art The color is rich. the dec |
orative effect strong, the drawing and |
graceful, and the whole |
shows consummate skill |
in endeavoring to meet the exigencies
Of the loom and at the same time the
aesthetic requirements OF wall decora-

beside Samory, shaking that monarch

and to nothing else, he was accepted
as the representative Of a great SOW

ears and joy,

Under the title Tears of JOY
George Friederici writes to Berlin
paper that the custom of weeping and
ho"llng on all occasions of great joy
was general among the early inhabit-
ants Of America" and that in many
tribes visited by him in South America
the approved form of welcome was
still to weep. Tears of welcome" he
says, are also shed by the natives of
the Caribbean islands and by the
Sioux, AlgnHquins and other North
American Indians. From all that I
have seen, l judge that in times past
tears and joy were inseparable and
that the emotion which civilized peo-
pie now display at parting was once
the expression of hearty welcome"

went in and heard-and stayed to
fasten a grapple to pull the engine

was janInled osef aud against ths

The big derrick groaned as the slack
drew, and the truck crashed through a
tier of stays and swung whirling into
the clear. A giant wrecker lodged the
suspended wheels and raising his ak

Through that they passed second

toppled back with a crash, and the
foremost axman peering into the
opening saw the heart of the wreck.
Bending forward, he picked up some
thing struggling in his arms. They
thought it was a man, but it was a
sheep, alive and uninjured, under all
the horror; that was the breathing they
heard. Benedict Morgan threw the
man and his burden aside and stepped
himself into the gap and through. One

Maybe she remembered Delaroo as he
used to sit with them under the kero-
sene lamp while Maze untiringly
pounded the money question into him,
smoking as he listened, and Martie
mended on never ending trousers;
looking from Maize Sampson, heated
with monologue, to his wife, patiently
stitching-no comments, just looking
as Pierre Delaroux could look.
Strange, Neighbor thought it, and yet,
maybe, not so strange 1t was all there
in the paper-the torn, worn little book
of Delaroo's life. She was the only
woman on earth that had ever done
him kindness.
Nobody at Medicine Bend quite un-
derstood it, but nobody at Medicine
Bend quite suspected that under all the
barrenness up at MAZE SIMPSONS an
ambition could have survived; yet one
had. Martie had an ambition. Way
down under her faded eyes and her
faded dress there was an ambition, and
that for the least promising subjects in
the Rocky mountains - the brickbats.
Under the unending mending and the
poverty and the toll Martie, who never
put her nose out of doors, who never
attended church social, never ven
tured even to free public school show,
had an ambition for the boys. She
wanted the two biggest to go to the

and get an education. And they went,

to the cemetery to decorate.
When they turn at Maze SIMPSONS
place-there's gate there now-Martie
and more or less of the boys and MAZE
kind of join in along and go over with
them carrying a basket or so of flow
ers and bucket of water.
The boys soon stray over to where
the crowd is, around the graves of the
heroes. but Martie gets down by
grave somewhat apart and prods the
drifting gravel all up loose with an
old caseknife. You would think she
might be kneading bread there, the
way she sways under her sunbonnet
and gloves-for her little boiled hands
are in gloves now.
