my linens are striking, and
when it IS remembered that the spinning and
weaving were accomplished by hand with the
rudest of appliances and that fabrics still
in existence showing five hundred and forty
single threads to the inch, their production
verges on the marvellous. The writer has in
his collection several specimens of these deli
cate tissues, woven thousands of years ago; but
the finest example shows only hundred
and tiftv-four threads to the inch,-coarse by
comparison, though finer than the in
/. woman's cambric handkerchief of the present
age.
Some Biblical Records
IN the Bible there many references to
woven fabrics, garments, tents, sackcloth,
etc, and flax may have been employed at an
earlier period than is shown by the oldest
Egyptian records. Sackcloth, often men
toned as an outward mark of humility, was
doubtless a very coarse linen resembling the
Iute bagging of to-day, such linens have
been unearthed with the munmies. Clothing
made of flax is first mentioned IN the Bible
when Pharaoh exalted Joseph and arrayed
him IN vestures of fine linen y; probably a
kilt suspended from the shoulders bv straps.

\ curious invention of some Years ago was
the Frye model This consisted of three huge
revolving spheres, on which rested platform
bearing the cabins. engine rooms, and other
parts of the ship. The revolving balls acted as
paddle wheels, and the inventor claimed Won
lers for the speed, safety, and economy of his
model. So far as know, the device never
passed beyond the experimental stage.
Another curious invention intended for a
liner consisted of long platform

They know that ven lures on the short side are likely to be dangerous and unprofitable. They do not succeed in dislodging any considerable quantities of long stock and when they start in to buy they find themselves obliged to take back their stocks on the same scale they sold at. There is nothing for them in that kind of trading and they are out the wear and tear, plus commls- sions. Hence the market seems to De drifting into state of apathy and dead lock.

 The sale of Chesapeake and Ohio by the Kuhne Loeb party to @ syndicate headed by Mir Edwin T. Hawley, produced mild sensation. The transaction set peo- ple to wondering what MT. Hawley IS going to do with Chesapeake and Ohio All sorts of theories are advanced as to his purpose in the acquisition One body of gosslps has 1t that he will find a way to connect Chesapeake and ohio With his Clover Leaf system by the purchase of another north and south line through Ohio Another element believes that he intends merely to build the line to stronger and then sell it to Union Pacific. His relations to MT. Hartman are very close and it is fully believed that he has already practically closed deal with the autocrat of Union Pacific for the trans fer of Alton back into the Union Pacific organization.
 Associated with MT. Hawley in this Chesapeake and Ohio purchase are said to be Norman B. Ream. Thomas F. Ryan, Maxwell of Jersey Central and others, Messrs. Ryan and Ream are already heavily interested in railroad construction in Virginia and West Virginia, and as they are intimate with MT, Rogers, It IS not impossible that there will be reor- ganization of the West Virginia coal slt- uation, giving to that great district a better and more even distribution Of It's coal and other products, as well as insur- ing harmony in the operation or the railroad.

Will Regulate th6 Stomach
 Making Indigestion Vanish

Call your disease what you will-in- digestion. gastritis. nervousness, dyspep- sia, catarrh of stomach, etc-you know the real name, the real disease is fermen- tation of the food you eat--a sour stom- ach, which belches gas and erupts un- digested food or causes a feeling of nau- sea and miserableness
 All these miseries vanish promptly when you stop this food fermentation. Take 50 cents to your pharmacist for a case of Papes Diapepsn Eat a tri- angule, and five minutes later your stom- ach will do what q healthy stomach should-that is, turn every bit you eat insd 'bodsly nourishment and without you realizing that you have a stomach. One triangule will digest all the food you eat without the aid of the stomach, be- cause it contains just the elements found in good, strong, healthy stomach.

Waste of Resources.
From Leslie's Weekly.

tIOm Leslt s W tekIy.
 The people of the coal region should no longer devastate that resource for it Is necessary to the life and comfort of the whole people. And the whole people have a right, in ordinary humanity and in common justice to demand and to assist in the preservation and economical utili- zation of our coal. We might extend this analogy into every phase of our civilization involving the utilization of natural resources, and the result would be the same. Our great display of wealth which has astonished the world has been possible only by eating into our capital, and every sensible man knows the futility of such practice. If we want our prosperity continued, then our duty Is to conserve our natural resources and utilize the water.

WOMEN BUTCHERS.

 "The butchers in all parts of Para quay are women," said Henry c. Key holds of New York, who Is at the Shoreham, sAd who has just returned from a stay of some months in Para quay, where he is interested in the cattle industry. Tn the public slaugn- ter houses the cattle are dispatched by men. This is the only part of the work done by men. The animal IS skinned and otherwise prepared by women, who are dexterous in the use of the saw and knife. It is served out to customers by women, not generally by weight, but by the piece, and the price is very low.
 Women of all ages act the part or butchers. Some are young and pretty and others are old and wrinkled. The
