Murder Contemplated.

There is contemplated murder involved
in the arraiSnment of the government by
the complaining prophet. And the proofs,
it is asserted by him, are in his hands.
His communication has filtered through
several hands and is now with the secret
service of the Treasury Department, which
will wrestle with the problem of how to
avert the catastrophe, even if it is neces-
sary to restrain the prophet by having
him put in a hospital. His letter reads:
II request an answer to my letter of
January 20, in which l explained. Other
wise I will apply to all the other govern
ments and will denounce the United
States in relation to the intended murder,
and of the responsibility borne by the
nation.
"I pledge my honor that if ] do not
get a reply within week. as soon as I
assume my godly government the whole
city of Washington shall be destroyed
on account of your mean godlessness,
which you have been engaged in for six
teen years l have the proof of the
truthfulness of God.
Take my word for it. deluson is short,
but regret is long. Whoever insults God
works his own condemnation. The hour
of the justice of God in this world has
come"

Mats of Home Manufacture.

The native mats merit particular at
tention. They are OF home manufacture
and represent native industry which Is
likely to become pre-emnent as the ma
tives soon become proficient in making
them. and the material is at hand. The
designs, in which native ideas are carried
out in accordance with well established
principles of decoration. are remarkable
for their originality and beauty The
craftsman is taught that true design
since il is for beauty alone-is an arranse-
ment in which all spaces, whether filled
or not, produce n pleasing effect TO the
eye: that proportion is also a conspicuous
factor. and that an incongruous design
is worse than none at all Color. which
plays SO conspicuous a part IS used with
great care and discrimination. Startling
and gaudy colors and inharmonious COM
binations are avoided.
Most OF the material used for the mats
is buri straw made from the young
unopened leaves of the buri palm. The
strips used are from one-eighth to one
quarter of an inch in width. which proves
adaptable to the designs, either directly
one straw TO a square, by double
count. making the squares in the mat
four times the size in the design.

Weaver Regulates Size.

In working out the designs i'll circular
mats the exact size is left to the in
genuity and judgment of the weaver
Care is necessarily exercised to avoid
crowding the figures and TO make re-
peated groups correspond exactly. An
important feature i'll nat weaving is that
of harmoniziug the design with the mat
itself in order that the result may pre-
sent d complete and coordinate whole.
OF particular interest are the designs
having d local cast. such as that of the
palm. the carabao, the carabo and cart,
the casa or nut. the chicken Vender. the
fighting cocks and the woman with
bundle on her head, while the designs
rer,rrs.nting geometric figures, fish,
gecko lizards, orchids and men with
bows and arrows indicate broadening
in the scope of the native work and a
growing interest in the adoption of for
eign ideas.
