How to Kill Hawks

1t will strike the layman who
does not know things as being
very queer that what will kill a
hawk will not hurt a young
chicken; but such is the case, as
the Virginia Gazette is advised
by a reliable Toano correspond
ent.
He tells that contemporary
how he got rid of hawks.
"Just add to one quart of meal
a teaspoonful Of nuxvomica
(powd) and mix a dough Feed
this to the little chicks in the
morning and if hawk, dog rat or
fox get the chick that day it
will be the end of him. But,
remember, nuxvomica is a dead
ly poison to anything that hasn't
a crop, so keep it away from
everything else except the
chickens, even the ducks and
geese. Have a feed coop and
feed the chicks in it. 1t is a
splendid tonic for chicks, little
and big, and you can iced II
every morning as long as any
thing is taking your chicks. II
will not kill a cat, though it will
make it sick; get the shotgun
after it. :"
At this season of the year,
particularly when young broods
are numerous, the depredations
of the hawks is one of the great
est dangers to chicken life, ant
the above simple measure O.
protection is worth a wide dis
semination; therefore, we Civ,
it here for the benefit of al
chicken raisers. Richmond

Early Typhoid Shows Increase

Richmond, Va, May %. Scat
tered reports for the current
month, received during the last
few days by the State Board of
Health, indicate that early
typhoid fever is prevalent in
many parts Of the State, and
that immediate and widespread
precautions are necessary to
avert a bad typhoid season.
A special warning on the SUBJ
iect was issued yesterday by the
Board: eve do not wish to
alarm the people Of the Com
monwealth, but we feel that the
reports reaching us during the
last few days give genuine cause
for apprehension. Typhoid fever
is already to be found in many
parts of the State and threatens
a rapid increase as the summer
season approaches. After very
remarkable reduction in the
number of cases of typhoid re-
ported last year, the Board took
occasion to warn the people that
there must be no relaxation in
the precautions taken to prevent
this disease. We were able tt
enjoy season Of relative free
, dom from serious outbreaks only
because our people took precau-
lions. We can enjoy the same
freedom this year if every cit
izen will realize that the leas
; neglect will cause an outbreal

hope for general cleanup O

Peruvians long before the Spanish con-
quest, display little If any technical
difference When compared with that
done by nomads in Asia. hill tribes in
India and natives in Central Africa
Such ornamental effect as is seen in
them depends upon a repetition of
stripes or simple crossing forms.
Chinese trade enterprise was soon
felt in the Western world and the en-
peror Heliogabalus is reported TO have
been the first Roman emperor to Wear
garments entirely made from silk
From early in the third century to the
sixth century the knowledge of silk in
fine weaving was spreading all over
Asia and also in Egypt. The Fersians
and Syrians were then masters of the
art. Scriptural subjects We're being
woven into silk and many splendid eX-
amples of the art as then praeticed are
disturbed throughout Europe. It's
spread in the West did not, however,
take place till the twelfth century,
when the influence of Spain was felt
and the Moorish weavers We're making
a speciality of it in Grenada.
in the fourteenth century fancy
weaving was undertaken by weavera
throughout Europe, though the French
and Italians gave the best examples of
the art.
INTERVENING of various materials now
was the general rule and magnificent
patterns of goods with wool intermixed
with silk was produced. Later in the
development are satins. damask and
taffetas and still later Italian velvets
and cloths of gold. italian weavers
through stress of civil wars left their
country and settled in Flanders, where
the art was practiced with further pro-
gress. New designs were introduced
and materials, and from that time to
the end of the eighteenth century the
French weavers held first place.
For $50 years the French figured
stuffs were unsurpassed. A school of
designers arose in the country as soon
as the art was on a substantial basis
who adopted a realism that has pre-
dominated in French patterns. Soon
after the revocation of the Edict of
Nantes thousands of weavers left
France and established the industry in
Spitalfelds, IN Cheshire, in Yorkshire
and elsewhere in England, as Well as
in Germany at Crefeld Elberfeld, Ear
men and Weissen.
The Northeastern Irish industry OF
damask weaving owes much 10 French
refugees who settled here toward the
close of the seventeenth century, al
though linen manufacture had been es-
tablished in the district by colony of
Scots in 1884. Dunfermline in Scotland
is said to produce as much damask as
the rest Of Europe.-New York sun.

HISTORY OF WEAVING.
Art That Originated With Chinese,
How IL Ranified.

An early stage of weaving in it's
development anterior to that when
spinning threads had been invented is
represented by the loom or frame
used by the natives of Sarawak, to
make textile with shreds of grass
The shreds of grass for the warp arc
divided into groups by a fat sword
shaped implement. The shuttle is
PISSED above it, leaving a weft of
grass in between the warp. The bat
ten is then moved upward and COM
presses the welt into the warp. This
method of pressing the weft into the
warp was employed by Egyptian and
Greek weavers.
7 Some OF the weaving III India at
present shows an advanced stage where
the Weavers are spun thread. The loom
is fitted with rudely constructed he'd
dies by which the weavers lit and
throw alternate ranks of warp threads
so that they may throw the shuttle
carried weft across and between them.
Besides the heddles there is a hang
ing reed or comb, and Between the
reeds of it the warp threads are passed
and fastened to roller or cylinder
This advance in the construction of
the loom is of undatable age and ex-
cept for more substantial construction
there is little difference in main prin-
ciples between it and the medieval
loom.
With such looms and byearranging
colored warp threads in given order
and then weaving into them colorcd
shuttle or weft threads simple textiles
with stripes and checker patterns are
produced: but textiles of complex pat
terms and textures necessitate the moro
complicated apparatus which belongs
to later evolution of the loom.
A Chinese book on the art of weav-
ing intricate designs was published III
1910. but the traditions and records of
such figured meanings are FAR older
than the book Tho world is therefore
! indebted to china for knowledge OF
figured shuttle weaving, although the
| Chinese who were cutivators of silk
| in 1890 b. c.. were matured in fine fig
IRE weaving at the comparatively mod
ern period of 260 r. C. Designs were
woven by the Chinese of the earlier
Han dynasty 206 b. C. as elabcrateNaS
those of the present day, with dragons
and phoenixes, mystical forms, flowers
and fruits.
At that time even Egypt, Assyria,
Greece and Rome We're doing shuttle
weaving. hut only with spun wool and
fax and possibly some cotton. with
which the ornamentation of their tex
tiles was done, apparently not by shut
lie weaving, but by either embroidery
or a compromise between darning
weaving, from which tapestry weaving
descended.
The range of their colors was limited,
red puppies and yellows being the
CHIEF while their shuttle weaving was
principally concerned with plain stuffs
and in a smaller degree with striped.

of this work, whether done by Egypt
