SYRIAN EMBROIDERY.
The most casual observer will have
noticed that the embroidery of each
country differs from that Of every
other If Syrian work has once been
seen it will not be easily forgotten,
so much does it differ from all the
rst. 1t stands in a class by itself
French embroidery is characterized
by a close. solid stitch almost entirely
devoid of openwork. English embroid-
cry. or broderie Anglaise, as the French
call it to distinguish this very different
sort from their own. is so open that
all pierced work has gained the gener
al title of English eyelet."
The Cuban embroidery is largely
eyelet, showing an English origin;
while Madeira is fine and close, with
liberal mixture of the seed stitch
with the solid. showing a French tend
ency.
Mexico sends forth its drawnwork,
which, as you know, is really an en-
broidery, but done in a less usual way,
slender threads left after numbers of
them have been pulled away. Mexican
drawnwork varies from the most
meager. and even careless, work to the
richest masses of closely packed
threads woven in to take the place of
those drawn out.
And this most curious Syrian en-
broidery is again an eyelet process, and
is circular in movement, its entire de-
sign being a combination of huge cir
cles. one within another or running in
complicated scallops, the whole sug-
costing that the national design is
founded on the circle. 1t is made in
bold allover patterns on wide cotton
not linen-of soft cambria finish,
quite difficult to handle.
The tendency to slur over the work
of the cotton background, or else it is
a result of Syrian fondness for much
embroidery of whatever quality.
The great widths of cotton cambria
are adorned all over in skirt lengths,
finished at the bottom with generous
half circles. the whole suggesting
white petticoats. but intended for
dresses. Upon closer examination it
will be seen that effect alone has been
striven for. 1t is evident that their
stamping outfit is some homemade de-
vice which produces delightful unev-
enness. each single eyelet of which the
work is composed being large, uneven,
often oval when intended to be round,
and carelessly whipped around with
five to seven quick stitches of soft I'M
twisted darning cotton. No pretense
of uniformity is apparent in stitch,
piercing or pattern.
Without being told that the work.
V,
we feel that a very unique quality
alone carries it and makes it accept
able as a dress fabric.
To use these pieces of Syrian en-
broidery to their best advantage and
so that their coarseness may not DOM
mate the gown, there should be chosen
good linen. into which should be in
serted broad strips cut from these open
all-over patterns. Yokes for bodice and
skirt, various tunics, panels and stole
ends may be cut from the patterned
material and used effectively. The
greatest care should be taken. how
ever, to evolve an original design for
! the gown. which. although simple In
construction. should be extremely well
made to save it from appearing COM
monplace.

To Cure Insomnia.

When you sleep, in which direction ao you lay your head?
 It makes much difference. Even In neeping there is much science.
 Sleeplessness or insomnia may be greatly relieved if not actually cured by having the body lie in the natural relation of its own magnetism and the earth magnetism
 The human body is a great living magnet, almost as Gencately poised as B magnetic needle in the compass box. When the compass needle is placed in an east and west direction at once the needle begins to try to get in north and south line with its length. This Is because the magnetic waves in pass ing from the north pole of the world to the south pole sweep the magnetic ance, lengthwise. so the magnetic forces of the needle and the earth may be in harmony.
 If you are sleepless. or rest poorly, look after the arrangement of your bed. Turn its head to the north. Get your body in line with the magnetic polar earth waves and have no mag netic counteraction in your nervous makeup by the earth; currents running across- your magnetic organism The proof of medicine Is its results
 Try this north and south body line up and note results that will make. you marvel if you are nervous and sleepleSs.

Gonh Henaache Cure.

One of tine very best remedies for a sick or nervous headache was sug- gested recently by a Finnish servant girl. She took raw potatoes without either washing or pairing and cut them into thick slices. These were laid close together on the forehead and temples and kept in place by covering with a large handkerchief folded cornerwise and tied in the back.
 In a short time the pain disap- peared. AS the pieces of potato get hot replace with cold fresh ones. They give all the coolness of ice without the incidental dampness, and there is not the burning sensation ice often causes The potato is distinctly soothing.

SaR1Ous Experiment Employed to

SoR1Ous Experiment Employed to
 Find Criminals and Robbers.
 4 curious diplomatic incident has. 3s the Paris Petit Parisian hears from Abyssinia. occurred at Addis Abab. According to this story. whenever d theft is committed the owner of the stolen property applies to sort of corporation, known as Lied Actai," or seekers after robbers, which sets immediately to work in a very simple and primitive fashion.
 The chief of this corporation selects a child, and, in the presence of four witnesses, gives it beverage. the com position of which is a secret. After the child has drunk the liquid pipe Is handed to it, and after few whiffs, which have completed the stu pefaction of the uulucky creature, it is led out for walk.
 When at last the child has stopped before some habitation, it is promp- ly and very conveniently assumed that the theft has been committed by the tenant, who is at once arrested. The chief of the corporation is rewarded for his share in the detection of the presumed culprit by commission ou the amount of the stolen property.
 Now, it happened, litle while ago, that the child which had ben pressed into such a service. halted near a bit of ground belonging to a European le- gation. The crowd. which had follow ed, broke down the incloSure, and the inclosure, and the chief of the "Lieb Actni," thus encouraged, insisted on the arrest of an interpreter. The re- suit has heen, as our contemporary sdds. an emphatic protest on the part of the diplomatic corps. which, at least, refuses, to put faith in this queer mode of tracking a thief to his lair.
