FAMOUS SHRINE OF MEXICO
Cathedral Of Our Lady Of Guadalupe
and Well That Heals the
Sick.

The village of Guadalupe, Mexico,
contains the most famous shrine on
this continent. It is dedicated to
Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Over the altar in the cathedral is
a painting held to be of miraculous
origin. This is the sacred tilma or
apron Of the peasant, and on this
tradition says appeared over 300
years ago an image of the Virgin.
The Indians today come from the
remote quarters of Mexico to wor-
ship at this shrine and to carry home
bottles Of water from a nearby well
which is said to possess healing quail
tiles. The walls of the church are
covered with votive offerings, pic
lures, etc., given by those who have
been cured or benefited.
In the picture the Virgin is shown
dressed in a blush pink gown, and
not long ago the women of Mexico
gave jeweled crown to hang over
this picture. When Hidalgo struck
the first note for Mexico's indepen-
dence he carried a picture of Our
Lady of Guadalupe on his banner,
and the first engine that entered
Mexico had a picture of this patron
saint painted on the cab.

CASHMERE SHAWL IS COSTLY
Hall q Century Ago That silky Drsp-
cry Was Highly Prlxed BY
the Women.

The dear ambition Of the woman
Of half century ago was to possess
a real Cashmere shawl.
II was in France that the hair Of
the Cashmere goat was first esteemed
for the making Of shawls, the silky
substance Of which, allied to their
exquisite drapery possibilities, was
their great fascination.
White hair Of the common Italian
goat is imported for carpet manu-
facture. There is also imported
white hair Of the Siberian goat, the
shorter lengths Of which are used in
carpet making and the longer for va
rious purposes.
The most costly of all the white
animal hairs imported is that of the
camel. The camel is commonly of a
dirty brown in color, but parts Of its
body may be white, as may be streaks
in its name, called veins. The cam
ePs hair is Of superior strength, and
its fine white hair Of sufficient length
is used as a substitute for natural
white human hair.
The long, white hair of the Syrian
goat is as fine as human hair, In
place of which it is used for some
special purposes, principally for the
making Of theatrical wigs and boards.
