sPECIAL DIsPATCH To THE CALr.

RENO, New, Nov 15.-Fearing the
displeasure of the faculty of Stanford
university, which has condemned the
drinking of liquor, Rev. Leslie M. Bur
well, pastor of the Methodist church
here, prevented the service of wine at
the banquet of the local Stanford club
last night and caused a sensation by
announcing that if the committee per
sisted in adhering strictly to the menu
established by custom everywhere. he
would not attend.
The request of the minister. who is
a graduate with the class of 1894 was
granted and precautions were taken
later to stop the plan of some Joker
who intended to send a case of wine
IN to the banqueters. labeled "Fron a
friend" Mr.. BurwelI did not want the
newspapers to learn of his opposition

Perfumed Chapeaux-It is from Vi
emma, that home of ultra smart women,
that the dainty idea of perfumed mill
linery comes. Now, all the best mill
linery there is floral trimmed and a

chapeau. If woman wears lily of the
valley trimmed tOque her milliner
hands her tube of that perfume: or
if her headgear is rose garnitured her
milliner hands her altar of roses
Just few drops of it on the petals of
the flowers. just enough to watt faint
subtle perfume to the nostrils of those
who are near the wearer of the hat.
This fashion has been the means of
introducing some new perfumes. One
woman. a wealthy one, ordered a prim-
rose trimmed toque. There was no
perfume made, however. to match the
delicate sweet scent of her favorite
blossom. so she promptly placed an or
der with a large firm of scent manufac-
turers and had 'essence of primrose"
made from her own formula. She had

she succeeded in extracting its sweet

How to Cure
Liver Trouble
Keep Your Bowels Regular and Your
Stomach Sweet

People sometimes imagine when they
have liver trouble or are bilious that the
main thing to do is to take physic.
Taking pills and keeping your bowels
regular are two very different matters.
The use OF a violent cathartic does not
mean the cure OF constipation or the es-
adjustment OF regular movements. A
physic Is an emergency remedy, but new
er a bowel treatment. II the bowels do
not move regularly there Is a reason
deeper seated than the mere c~logging I'D
that is removed by a dose OF salts or
pills.
When that drowsy. tired feeling, with
the coated tongue. the dull head pains,
the sour stomach, the sallow complex
Ion, co~nstipated bowels and touches Of
fever come on II is time to take a medi-
that win act on the bowels gently
and mildly. cleansing and strengthening
them, stir up the liver and aid the stom-
ach in dlgesting the food.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin does this
every time. Take a few doses and see
how quickly the drowsy feeling leaves,
regular bowel movements come back, with
a good appetite inc perfect digestion.
and you soon feel like your old self. It
does not grippe nor pain, 1t acts smoothly,
mildly and Is very pleasant to take. VIM.

What is the apparent form Of the
vault of the sky? There is probably
no one to whose eyes it seems true
hemisphere, with the zenith appearing
as distant as the horizon. At sea or
in a fat country the seeming greater
distance OF the horizon is best shown.
Professor j. NJ. Pernter in discussing
this subject reaches the conclusion that
the form of the vault in vertical sec
ton is that of the segment of circle
the arc of which subtends at the center
an angle Of the order Of forty degrees.
If the reader viii draw such segment
he may be surprised by the amount of
fattening which is thus ascribed to the
sky. From this optical Illusion many
curious effects arise, such as the SEEM
ing increased magnitude of the sun
and moon when near the horizon and
the apparently oval forms Of halos and
coronas seen at low attitudes.

HISTORY OF TAPESTRY.


The Art Was Known to the AnoienA
Greeks and Esyptisne.
Flemish artists are believed to nave
been the first to make tapestry for use
as n covering for walls. The art Itself
Is certainly very ancient. many of the
hangIngs used in Egypt and Greece
Delng considered true tapestry. Its
subsequent history is obscure, but Il
evidently maintained n lingering OK
istence in the east until the Saraceng
revived 1t and brought It to Europe
Tapestry was used by the Saraceus
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-
broidcry, such as the incorrectly named
BaycuX tapestry. 1t was In the four
teentl century that tapestry began to
be largely made in Flanders, where the
weaving industry became very impor-
tant At that time twenty-seven
streets were occupied by the weavers
of Client In 1892 there were $4,000
we0ycrs in Louvain and more still at
Yprcs 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
tapestries Of that time are models of
textile art. The color is rich, the dec
oratye effect strong, the drawing and
composition graceful, and the whole
arrangement shows consummate skill
In endeavoring to meet the exigencies
of the loom and at the same time the
aesthetic requirements of wall decora-

When Lieutenant Henderson was
captured by the natives of the Gold
Coast hnterand they got into a
wordy discussion as to how they would
kill him. The victim listened awhile
till he was weary of it. "Oh, we'll"
he said, 81 can't be bothered with your
arguments! I'm very sleepy. Let me
know when you have made up your
minds" And off to sleep he went.
The unexpected performance saved his
life. His calm Indifference persuaded
Samory's men that they had to do with
some one Of immense Importance. I'm
willing to take on themselves the re-
spOnsibility for his death, they sent
him unframed to Samory's court, in
the Jimini country.
Once again Lieutenant Henderson
saved himself by like exhibition of
courage. He found SamOry on a
throne, surrounded by 1000 warriors,
yet when motioned to do homage on
his hands and knees he did nothing of
the sort. He simply sat on the throne
beside Samory, shaking that monarch
warmly by the hand. Thanks to this,
and to nothing else, he was accepted
as the representative of a great SOW
erelgn instead of a captive doomed to
death. He talked to Samory of the
queen, and SGmory talked to him. Thus
a mission which might have ended, as
so many African missions have ended,
in terrible silence and a suspicion of
unspeakable horrors, did, in fact, end
in a valuable basis of future relations
between Great Britain and a Moham-
medan power.-London Scraps.
