 The looms are much the same that grandmoth CTS mother knew. The size has been somewhat reduced, but the principle has not altered any Tn fact, looms in all countries as far back they can be traced, have the mechanical de- vices that are ingeniously elaborated today in the high power carpet factories.
 Weaving, no doubt, originated when some prime val creature plaited his her hair, and then tried crossing three strands of heavy grass over the other. From mats and baskets the idea of interacing wool threads, and cloth was invented Weaving, in some form other, is one of the earliest signs of civilization.
 It might be argued that weaving is not an evi- dence of the advancement of intellectuality. The wonderful shawls which from the far east, and which we are quite unable to initiate, are made by peasant populace. And whoever has turned pictures illustrating the manufacture of Turkish and Persian rugs is much impressed by the uncouthness of the makers by the sym metry and imagination of the designs
 Crossing the Great Divide of this continent, the Navajo and Moji Indians and the Mexican blanket weavers to the south not leaders of intellectual thought, though they have established blanket weaving an industrial art The old squaws wrinked than winsome This isn't the fault of the weaving, however, and there is no gainsaying that rugs and tapestries and draperes and all the other products of the loom into which individuality is woven have a reac- tionary effect daily life.
 In Hingham, ardent handicraftsmen not long ago discovered an old colonial loom lurking in the recesses of a garret. It dragged forth and restrung and now it is back at work again:
 Here too, Swedish linen weaving is done, for at Bingham the industrial arts flourish Linens for dresses, toweling, sheetng and table covers the Swedish loom.
 The process of preparation requires almost as much time and skill as the weaving itself To warp the skeins of linen is the first step This is done by arranging all the threads in even lengths on device somewhat like turnstie, which spins around, carrying them from ton to bottom and back again Thus the threads are measured off accurately while, by means of pegs they twisted into figure eight shape With this device many threads as 1000 to yard wide material may be kept from tangling A frame with teeth in it, like big wooden comb

to insure wit in your essay is to pick it where you find it, and ten chances to one that will not be in your own brain. Better the wit of others than no wit at all-which might be a prov erb, but is not.
 Shakespeare has well said: There is nothing either good or bad, E7lt thinking makes it so.' If this but applied to your essay, O writer! what an excellent thing it would be! But it lies not within your gray matter to compass it. Again, with the bard you say, "I must become a borrower" :" and you walk down the pleasant gar dens, plucking here and there a flow CT of fancy until your little essay stuns the eye with color, "Heres richness,"
 Nothing that you can say but has been well said before; therefore quote it, fusing it, if you will, with your poor thought to crystalline it and make it seem new thing.
 Here are a few of the unp1easant'st words that ever plotted paper Do not use them, then. Make your essay light, graceful, full of the whipped cream of human kindness.
 Silence is the perfectest herald of joy" says Will again, but had he kept silence. what joy the Anglo-Saxon race had missed, and how weak in quotation had been thy essay, Has not this same Shakespeare said, Whats mine is youTs?" Therefore do not scruple to take it if it will make light where darkness reigned."

You have loved books, you have gath cred of their honey: now let it drop off your stylus and sweeten this essay over which you labor.
 A sixteenth-century writer says: They lard their lean books with the fat of others works There you have an old precedent, so fear not. You are in good company You do but take what others have taken be- fore. Quote you never so well, you do but requote, and it may be that he f-Om whom you quote lifted his thought from a richer than he.

and then tries to get even by doin' her misery of others. In a sorrowful coun- tenance she finds the reward of her ef- forts. She holds man accountable for the fact that she was born a female The dog that barks at the moon sees somethin', but the woman that rails against nature sees nothin' but her self. l know that some of the women folks would like to shoot me for sayin' it, but l do say that the mother of a child is greater than the woman that makes speech five columns long and has the whole community talkin' about how smart she is.'
 "How about the father of child? Isn't he greater than the man that makes a speech?"
 He may be. About as no account man as 1 ever came across could make a speech for the clouds, I tell you. But when he got through he was just seashell that the musical wind had been blowin' into. That was all He never had the joy of carin' for a little human bein'. He was jest a feller that folks could call great be- cause he could talk We may not have mission on this earth, but if We have it is to obey the lovin' instincts of na- ture The man that hates and the woman that has no love in her heart are both the enemies. of nature You may say that old Miss Patsy would have loved if the opportunity had been given to her. She would have married, that's true enough; but 1 don't believe she, nor any of her ilk, ever had any real love in her heart. I'm not standin here talkin' up for man. Bless you, he's hopeless. He's gone all the gaits But the best of us have loved and honored our women. We haven't called them the enemies of man simply be- cause nature set limit to our minds and-because fate, or whatever you may call it, showed us our weakness We've played some cards and have drunk a good deal of liquor, but the best of us have reformed and we hope the Lord has forgiven us"
 "Oh, of course," said the old lady "any man is willing enough to ask the Lord to forgive him when he knows that it is nearly time for him to die During all the time, night after night while these dear little ones that he thought so much of have been growing up, he has been off at elections and other things; and when he gets old enough to quit then he talks about the mission of nature and all that sort of stuff. If man doesn't want women to go around maxim speeches why doesn't he marry her and take care of her? If he thinks that marriage is so beautiful for woman why doesn't he prove that it Is beautiful for him? Summing up my book, as you summed up yours. why doesn't man learn earlier how to behave himself?"
 Well. I reckon you've got me again." said the old man.

 We can say nothing but what hath been said" Why attempt the impos. sible, then? T would help others out of a fellow-feeling." I have been thought-dry myself.

You will receive the credit even if you pepper your work all over with quotation marks.
 Emerson says: "The passages of Shakespeare that we most prize were never quoted until this century" Do you not see that it was not what Shakespeare himself said that men valued? It was not until his jewels flashed in other mems bosoms that we perceived their luster. Therefore quote, for in so doing you will be ren- dering the bard service.

 "Ha, if I'd married her she would have had me-you can bet a settin' of eggs on that
 Tt was the talk of the neighborhocd how you used to go to dances with her.
 Yes, it was the talk of the neigh borhood whenever anybody went with her at all. Cad, she had tongue that would pick out a briar. And now she is a reformer, an uplifter of downtrod women. Well, she spent about two thirds of her life tryin' to tread 'em down. l can recollect when every girl in the neighborhood was afraid of her. An old gypsy came along one time and had some love powders for sale, and Miss Patsy she bought some and man. aged to give 'em to Feb Collins She must have given him about half a pound from the way he acted. Went out and hung over the back fence and called hogs for ten minutes, he did. After awhile when he was silent she looked out after him and he was a ketchin' of his horse. We called him Bakin' Powder Zeb after that. But he didn't rise.'
 T don't believe she gave him the powders"
 No, just loaned 'em to him. At any rate, he got 'em. And now you trace back some of the biggest of these women reformers and you'll find love powders in their lives somewhere. There aint nothin' on the earth bright CT than a bright woman-and there's nobody the Lord ought to shower His favors down on more than her. No matter how good man is he can't begin to ketch up with her. She is tenderness, love, truth, religion-all in one. But when she's pizenous- look out. That is the time for Satan himself to dodge. And I'll bet every time he sees old Miss Patsy comin' he takes to his fiinty heels. When a mans disappointed with life he gen. erally tries to keep it to himself.

 You've got me again and I'll have to get out the best way l can. Yes, the cause of failure lies with the one that has failed. It was lack of energy. lack of jedgment-a lack of somethin'. A man must make circum- stances, but sometimes circumstances won't be made. Under the law all men may be born free. but they ain't born equal Neither minds nor constitutions are on par with one another in diff ferent men. Man acknowledges this and quietly knocks under, takin' hold of the next best thing and doin' with it what he can. I'm talkin' about sensible man.

Old Linn Jucklin put aside his news paper, arose, stood on the hearth, and remarked to his wife, who sat in a rocking chair, half dreamily knitting: "They must hire folks by the year to do nothin' else but to write about women"
 They want to furnish the men somethin' to read,'' his wife replied.
 Furnish the men somethin' to skip so's to read somethin' else" said the old man. Once in while read 'em though, and I've just read lot of stuff that I know want written by anybody, man or woman, that had anything else to do-a whole column and half tellin' how to raise chil- dren; and I'll bet a steer it was writ ten by an old maid"
 "Limuel, what are you talkin' about?"
 An old maid, I said; and one of the sort that snatches up her skirts and runs like turkey hen whenever she sees child comin' toward her. Oh, I know their brand.'
 Yes, I suppose so" said his wife. "But woman that raisin' children | hasn't got time to write, and one that shas them already raised is so tired she don't feel like it."
 "Oh, I expected to get it, one way or another" replied the old man. Tt was due and I deserved it. But 1t hof hn Urif hn ci1h ject of women ought to stumble on somethin new.
