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

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 ia Egypt and Greece
being considered true tapestry. Its
subsequent history is obscure, but 1t
evidently maintained lingering ex-
istence in the east until the Saracens
revived 1t 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 em-
broidery, such as the Incorrectly named
BayeuX tapestry. 1t was ii the four
teenth 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 Weavcrs
of Ghent. In 1889 there were 10000
weavers in Louvain 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
tapestries of that time are models Of
textile art. The color is rich, the dec
orative 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
;iesthetic requirements of wall decora-
tion.-Argonaut.

OBSERVANCE OF EASTER.
Discrepancy In Computing the Date

Discrepancy In Computing the Date
Not Corrected Until 1T52.
The observance of Easter dates back
to about the year 6S, at which time
there was much contention among the
eastern and western churches as to
what day the festival should be OBJ
served. 1t was finally ordained at the
council of Nice in the year 325 that 1t
must be observed throughout the Chris
tian world on the same day. This de-
cision settled that Easter should be
kept upon the Sunday first after the
fourteenth day of the first Jewish
month, but no general conclusion was
arrived at as to the cycle by which
the festival was to be regulated, and
some churches adopted one rule and
some another This diversity of usage
was put an end to, and the Roman
rule making Easter the first Sunday
after the fourteenth day of the calen-
dar moon was established in England
in $50 After nine centuries dis
crepancy i'm the keeping of Easter was
caused by the authorities of the Eng
lish church declining to adopt the ref
ormation of the Gregorian calendar in
1889, The difference was settled in
1852 by the adoption of the rule which
makes Easter day always the first
Sunday after the full moon which ap-
pears on or next after the twenty-first
day of March. If the full moon hap
pens upon a Sunday, Easter is the
Sunday after.
