constant appeals made her weary and
fretful. The little mother also had
red spots on her cheeks and a slight
dry cough. One day, while draggingi
herself around, forcing her weary
body to work. she felt a slight but
sarp pain in her chest. her head grew
dizzy and suddenly her mouth filled
with blood. The hemorrhage was not
very severe, but it left her very weak.
When the hemorrhage came she and
all her neighbors knew that she had
consumption, The doctor whom she
consulted knew it, too, and he gave
her the most strengthening treatment
possible under the circumstances, but
as he looked about him and viewed
her children, her tasks and her ma
terial surroundings, he sadly shook
his head after he had left the house,
and his thoughts ran ahead to the
churchyard.
Now listen to what the little mother
did. Impelled by her love for her
children, and guided by her innate
sense of eternal right and wrong, she
in her ignorance of the false philo-
sophy by which states and the men
who uphold them are guided, wrote to
the State Board of Health of Indiana
and said: 81 am told that consump-
ton, in its early stages, can be cured
by outdoor life, continued rest, and
plenty Of plain, good food. I do not
want to die. / want to live and raise
my children to make them good citi-
zens. Where can go to rest well?'
The reply to her was: "The great
Christian State of Indiana has not yet
risen to the mighty economy OF saw
ing the lives of little mothers from
consumption. At present the only
place to which you can go is grave.
However, the State will care for your
children in an orphan asylum after
you are dead, and then in few years
special officer will be paid to find a
home for them. But save your life
never!" That is a cranky idea, for a
member on the floor of the Sixty-first
Assembly said so. Besides" said he.
"it isn't business. The State can't
afford it." So the little mother died
of the preventable and durable die.

the children were taks99 to III the orphan

A big fat hog one mtGafahlA1g found

telegraphed to the Secretary Of the

THE DAILY CHIT-CHAT.
By Ruth Cameron.

Isn't it a queer quirk of human nature
that no matter how much better some
one else could manage our own affairs
than we, we all want to manage them
ourselves?
There is no doubt whatever but that
there are many capable, worthy people
born with talent for managing. who
could manage some of their shiftless
friends affairs far better than they
themselves. Frequently these capable
folks are generously willing to do this
And yet the shiftless folks are almost
never willing to give over to others the
managing that they do so i'll themselves.
Isn't it queer?
1 am thinking of the sad case of a
woman who is very capable housewife
and very skillful manager in every
way.
Besides keeping her home in mode
| order, this woman finds time to run hel
tiniest detail of her childrens lives
what they shall eat and wear and drink
where they shall go. what they shall dc
every hour Of the day and as far as pos
sible what they shall say and think.
Nor does this large program employ
stantly signing for more worlds to con
quer.
And-like all of her type-constantly
finding them in other peoples affairs.
She knows that her household is con
| sidered a model one, that her ways are
better than other peoples and have
| brought excellent results, and naturally
she wants other people to adopt these
| ways.
| And "other people means all with
| whom she comes in contact. She canno
enter home without generously trying
| to show it's inmates how to make 1t like
her model home With neighbors anG
| friends and relatives she nobly labors tt
get them to adopt her ways and method:
and to let her show them how to man
age their affairs as successfully as She
| has her own.
And what, do you think? Everywhere
she goes she meets with base ingrati
tude.
She told me SO herself.
IF you could know all 1 do for Cousin
AIMS family" she said. land how un
grateful they are. You know she isn't 9
very good housekeeper and she's haG

ter, sew with her. show her how I make
Emma's and Mabel's clothes. and dc
everything I possibly can for her: YET
often she seems really ungrateful and
sometimes / even think the children dis.
like me- It seems SO hard to me when
love them all and want to do all can fol
them"
Isn't it a queer quirk of human nature
that no matter how much better some one
else could manage our own affairs thar
we, we all want to manage them our
selves?
But a quirk that is quite as universal
as it is queer.
| And the sooner the large class Of capa-
BILE, kindly, managerial, well meaning
exasperating people-of whom this woman
was a type-realize this, the happier they
and every one else will be.

Ancient Tapestries
Well Reproduced

In one of the Washington shops may
be seen selection of tapestries woven
so perfectly In imitation Of many of the
treasured old world needle pictures
that but for the salesmans assurance
that these textile fabrics are new world
productions a customer might easily be-
lieve the display an art exhibit of price
less antiques rather than a perfectly
legitimate commercial showing of decora-
tive material
Tapestry, from a Greek word meaning
a carpet" has been used from the
earliest times for lining the walls of
apartments, and sometimes for covering
touches, tables and other articles of
furniture. The Greek applied the name
to coverings for the floor, mention of
which is made in Homer. The ancient
Egyptians and Hebrews were skillful in
ornamenting textile fabrics with embroid-
cry, and in the earliest days of tapestry
it was only used for ornamenting the
walls Of churches and temples.
The art was early introduced into
France and the workmen employed in
It's manufacture in that country originally
were called SaraZins and SaraZinois, in
dicating the origin of the art as derived
from Saracens During the fourteenth
and fifteenth centuries the finest tapestry
work was done in Bruges, Antwerp Ar
ras. Brussels, Lille, Tourney and Valen-
ciennes. Florence and Venice at that
time produced more costly and rich
tapestry than that made in the French
cities. but in the sixteenth century the
more ornamental work with threads of
gold and silver was introduced in Fon-
tainebleau. The manufacture of Gobe-
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1911-11-24
lin tapestry was established by Louis


XIV.
The manufacture of tapestry was prac-
ticed with great skill during the time OF
William the Conqueror, and one of the
famous pieces of ancient tapestry is the
Bayeux tapestry, worked with wool upon
linen by Queen Matilda and her hand
maidens, concentrating in its design
the conquest of England. The art of
weaving tapestry was introduced into
England during the reign OF Henry VIII.
Modern day hurry and rush and lack OF
time in a measure outran the manu-
facture of tapestry, but it did not XIII or
even dull the ever living appreciation OF
and love of the beautiful. In America
handwork went out of fashion, and GER
tainly there had never been any note
worthy practice here of the tapestry art.
But in many old world countries the art
of tapestry weaving continued heritage,
its intricacies passed down from genera
ton to generation. Notably at Aubusson
was this true.
Albert Herter, painter and colorist OF
note. a few years ago abandoned his
brushes and as an artistic experience
undertook to weave tapestries Tor MN
self after the manner of Aubusson Slim
ulated by his researches and growing
mastery of this new medium OF express
, sion, his ambition led him to more I'M
portant efforts until what had been be-
gun i'm an artists desire to use a new
medium crystallized into determination
to transplant the art of tapestry making
to American soil.

Huoo's Practical Side.

1t may not be generally known that
Victor Hugo used to draft the adver-
tisements of his own books, instead Of
leaving the task to his publishers. His
correspondence with his Belgian pub
fishers gives the following example Of
the great novelist's advertising style:
after the middle ages, the present
time: Such is the subject of Victor
Hugo's double study. What he did
for Gothic art in 'Notre Dame de Paris
that he has done for the modern world
in Les Miserables.' The two books
figure In his scheme of work as two
mirrors rejecting the whole human

up their minds how much modesty is
enjoined by the best literary tradi
tions.-London Globe.

Where Money BUYS Life.

The rich Chinaman If condemned to
death easily procures substitute.
Some poor wretch, without money to
secure his spirits from becoming way
dering devils, with the price of his mis-
cradle life can purchase proper care
for his spirit Anything, in fact, can
be done If you have the money. It is
this belief that causes the Chinaman to
commit suicide by taking his life on the
premises Of his enemy to take venge-
ance on him. His spirit, he believes,
will forever haunt him. There is an
other reason also. He knows that as
sure as fate the off1ciass will under
such circumstances come down upon
his enemy and strip him Of everything.
Poor Chinese have been known to sell
everything they possessed, tear down
their houses to sell the timber, sell or
rent out their wives and children and
even sell themselves to procure money
for the proper rites for the peace and
comfort Of the ancestral spirits. One
thing alone a Chinese will not do
namely, sacrifice his son.-Kenneth II.
Junior, NJ. D., in National Geographic
Magazine.
