OLD TAPESTRY.
How the Product Of Different Eras
May Be Distinguished.

How the Product of Different Eras
May Be Distinguished.
The word tapestry" needs to be de-
fined, for 1t may mean anything from
figured furniture covering to carpets.
Tapestry as the word is here used is
a pictured fabric woven by an artisan
on hand loom. in which the design
forms the cloth and is not worked
upon u basic tissue. The design itself
is painted by an artist, and the loom,
either upright or horizontal, has alter
ed but little from prehistoric times to
the present. The difference in the
tapestries through the ages lies in the
dyes, in the design and in the talent
Of those who translate the drawings
In weaving. The species of stitch al.
ters not and belongs to all peoples
Asiatic. European, aborigines Of North
and South America.
For those who would be quickly wise
In general classification of old tap.
estry it may be said loosely that three
great periods of design and weaving
dominate the history of the art First,
the primitive or Gothic; next, the
renaissance, and then that dorescence
OF decorative design which belongs
more peculiarly to France In the sew
enteenth and eighteenth centuries. As
these three great periods Of artistic
development prevailed all over the
Christian world in all varieties of art
one can. by using this simple key. ar.

to which tapestry belongs.-Scrib.

AN INGENIOUS cooLIE.
How He Helped the Doctors During q
Cholera Epidemic.


Cholera Epidemic.
In a life and death battle with a
cholera epidemic In Human province.
China. in which an American medical
missionary was the leading figure, one
OF the most serious difficulties was met
successfully by one of the menial hos
rital coolies.
Since every patient had to have from
one pint to several quarts of distilled
water with salt in 1t, the water could
not be distilled fast enough. For two
days the staff struggled along with
makeshifts while thinking up plan to
build still for little money without
the loss Of time. This coolie solved
the problem. In one day and at cost
Of less than 50 he built a still which
later produced twenty gallons of dis
TILED water every twenty-four hours.
The still was simplicity itself. For
cooking food the Chinese use large.
fat. saucer-like pans made of iron.
With one of these above and another
below the coOlie made a drum OF gal
vanized iron with hole In the side for
trough. Into the lower pan hot wa
ter for boiling was poured. Under
meath, a hot fire sent up constant
steam vapor. The upper kettle was
kept cool by frequent changings Of cold
water. The vapor from the lower ket.
tie. condensed on the lower surface of
the cool upper kettle. dripped of, into
the trough. and filed bottle after bot.

MANS CRITICAL AGE.

u Thirty 10 Safely Passed Many sOri-
tst5 QUE DiSeaSes Arc ontnr6Aen. b.
A medical lecturer recently declared
that ln many ways thirty is the critical
age in the average mans life. Once
you reach thirty you have eutgrown
many serious diseases. On the other
hand. you become liable to many 9TH
ers that seldom or never attack people
In the teens or twenties.
Anaemia. for instance, is practically
unknown after thirty. II you have not
had it by then you never will. IL you
have you will have outgrown 1t at
thirty or so. Acne, tOO-that spotti-
ness of complexion so common among
young people-is certain to have van
ished by then.
Thirty, too, sees you out OF the reach
of the gravest of all diseases-con.
sumption. If you have shown no
sign Of it by then in all probability
you never will. II you have hitherto
escaped rheumatic fever, too, you are
fairly safe from it for life. Epilepsy
and goiter, too, never make their first
attacks on any one who has reached
thirty.
But your thirtietb birthday lays you
open to kidney troubles of all sorts
They are very rare in people under
that age. Cancer, too. usually con.
fines itself to people over thirty. And
you may at any time be surprised by
a touch of gout You may have had
tendency that way all your life with.
out knowing it 1t never develops till
the critical birthday is past. = New

AMERICAS GREAT OPPORTUNITY.

The American people could not have more glori-
Gus opportunity than the present to endear them
and their country the millions of Europe over
whelmed by the caamities of They responded
nobly to the cry for aid for the victims Of the earth
quake at Messina, but that small bene6cence
compared to what is demanded of this nation and
what it should give intellectually.
Already the knowledge has been given to the
starving in the war of Europe that America is
sending succor and relief ships have been dispatched
loaded with contributed supplies One vast fund has
been dedicated the work of relief, but this should
be comparatively small part of the aid to be given.
Individual contributions should be poured into the lap
of calamity stricken Europe and the American Red
Cross should be supplied with all 1t may need
The United States is the one great nation that
can stand aloof from this great of nations and
be exempt from its calamities. We have suffered
serious effects, but they reparabe and are likely
to be replaced by benefits Our republic presents the
example of peace and security in worldwide war
and almost universal disaster. Simply in gratitude
should give of to alleviate the horrors
of the war, but what opportunity to exat the
American name among the European massesi What
position to take before the world and what record
for history!

DIR FLAME.swEPT FORESTS.

The next Legislature will have an impressive OBJ
ect in the destructive forest fires this week to
mpel to pass law to better protect the woodlands
of the State from the fire end. New Jersey has lost
millions by forest fires, and all that the Legislature
could finally be induced to do was to pass an inade-
quate law that does not protect.
In several States the hunting season is postponed
in periods of drought There has been lack of rain
fall in New Jersey and conditions exist in the forest
regions favorable to the spread of fires. Thousands
of hunters were abroad in the fields and woods this
week, and there be other explanation OF the
conhagrations that raging both in the northern
and southern sections of the State.
1t is dear price the State pays for the sport OF
killing the game the State provides and protects The
Legislature has cared neither for the acts OF the
gunners and campers In the woods for proper
system of exnguishing forest fires The State stocks
the forests with game to attract gunners, from
other States. and unscrnpulous element among
them recklessly do the State this immense damage

poses" as the defeats that overlook
Presidents Harrison and Taft.
There is a purpose, of course, in
these attempts to dispose of Wood
row Wilson. 1t II can be made to
appear that he was Crushed in
1914 the real Job that must be I'M
nertaken in 1916 may be made easier.
To this end 1t is noticeable that such
Republican encouragement as was
derived from local Democratic re-
verses has resulted In a country wide
chorus Of calamity, panic and hard
times.
This also is baseless. There is
nothing in fact, to justify it. The
American people never were so rich
and prosperous as they are today.
There never was time In their his
tory when their government was
more just. No man lives who has
seen so many popular demands
enacted into law by dozen Con-
crosses as now appear accomplished
on the records of the Sixty-third Con-
gress.
Taking the greed and graft out Of
the tariff and financial absolutism
out of Wall Street has not necessa-
rily closed a single factory. 1t has
not necessarily deprived a single man
OF Work. IL mas lnterrereu with the
business of no one whose trade has
not been bottomed on extortion and

with "pauper goods" from abroad.
We are disturbed only as all civiliza-
tion is disturbed. Such commercial
and Industrial difficulties as appear
are due to war, and nothing but war.
Plutocraey, showing some symptoms
of recovery, cannot belle the facts.
That the people. who not long ago
repudiated q party which sold tariff
schedules for campaign contributions
appreciate these truths is proved by
the complexion of the new Congress.
| 1t Is not to be denied that the Demo-
cratic majority In that body will be
smaller than that which appears In
the present Congress, but II Is to be
noted very seriously that the new
majority represents a Democratic
, victory over a Republican party once
more acting in essential harmony,
