The manager of the combination re-

on Tuesday morning. One of the first
persons he interviewed was the leader
of the new orchestra.

The conductor was floored by the
unexpected attack.

men played we'll. I'll bet ten-dollar
hat that they produced the best music
that was ever heard inside this hall.
The applause of the audience proved
that"

about" growled the manager They

not to me, at any rate-to play too
well in a place of this kind. EXtraor-
dinarily good music cuts down sales.

people get so interested that they just
listen and forget to order drinks. Gus

SENT PACKAGES BY NeIeHsoRs.
Custom Of Early Days of New England
Settlement.

In the early days Of the settlement
Of New England the custom of send
ing packages by neighbors who jour
neyed to different parts of the country
was an established one. The note
book of SchOolmaster Joseph Hawley
Of Northampton, Mass, when he
started on a trip to Boston, was filled
with such varied items as: Capt
Partridge, a dial and a dish kettle"
son, Joseph, speckled red ribbon,
whistles, buckles and fish hooks" "a
shilling worth of plumb and spice" 8"
two psalters, bason and a quart
pot" In "Old Paths and Legends of
the New England Border" Katherine
M. Abbott says that it was the same
even as late as Judge Lyman's day;
his daughter, Mrs. Lesley. writes of it
in 'Recollections of My Mother:
There were no expresses then, and
so when it was known in the village
of Northampton that Judge and Mrs.
Lyman were going to Boston-and
they always took pains to make it
known-a throng of neighbors we're
coming in the whole evening before,
not only to take an affectionate leave,
but to bring parcels of every size and
shape, and commissions of every
variety.
One came with a dress she wanted
to send to a daughter at school; one
brought patterns of dry goods, with a
request that Mrs. Lyman would pur-
chase and bring home dresses for a
family of five. And would she go to
the orphan asylum and see if a good
child of ten could be bound out to an,
other neighbor? Would Mrs. Lyman
bring the child back with her?
The neighbors walked into the IL
brary, where the packing was going
on, and when all the family trunks
were filled my father called out heart
lily; Here, Hiram, bring down an
other trunk from the garret, the larg
est you can find, to hold all these par

to work on and are absorbed in the discussion
blending.
The looms much the same that grandmoth-
er's mother knew. The size has been somewhat
reduced but the principle has not altered any.
In fact, looms in all countries as far back as
they can be traced, have the same mechanical de-
vices that are ingeniously elaborated to-day in
the high power carpet factories
Weaving, no doubt, originated when some prime
val creature plated his or her hair and then
tried crossing three strands of heavy grass
over the other. From mats and baskets came the
idea of interlacing wool threads and so cloth was
invented, Weaving, in some form or other is one
of the earliest signs of civilization
1t might be argued that weaving is not an evil
dence of the advancement of intellectually. The
wonderful shawls which come from the far east,
and which are quite unable to initiate, are
made by peasant populace. And whoever has
turned over pictures illustrating the manufacture
of Turkish and Persian rugs is as much impressed
by the uncouthness of the makers as 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, are not leaders of
intellectual thought though they have established
blanket weaving as an industrial art. The old
squaws are more wrinkled than wnsome. This
isn't the fault of the weaving, however, and there
draperies and all the other products of the loom
into which individuality is woven, have reac-
tionury effect daily life.
In bingham, ardent handicraftsmen not long
ago discovered an old colonial loom lurking in the
recesses of garret. 1t dragged forth and
restrung, and it is back at work again.
Here, too, Swedish linen weaving is done, for
at bingham the industrial arts flourish. Linens
for dresses toweling, sheeting and table covers
are woven on 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 a device somewhat like a turnstile
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 are twisted into figure eight shape With
this device many threads as 1000 to a yard
wide material may be kept from tangng. A
