Maklno rapestry BRUSSELS.

Tapestry Brussels carpet is a poor
imitation OF the real Brussels. Many
colors are used in 1t. The design Is
made first on squared paper, the
scheme of color in each pick of the
pattern is studied out, and the success
sion of 1t sent to the printer. The
skeins of yarn to be used for the loops
on the surface of the carpet are wound
on a large cylinder, attached to which
are troughs of color which come In
contact automatically with the yarn
and print 1t according to the success
sion of colors indicated in the design.
The skeins are taken from the cylin-
der, showing crosswise streaks Of va
ried color, and are carried to the steam
chest to have the dye set. When the
carpet is woven, the pattern is COM
plete, but has a less distinct outline
than the real Brussels.

they were given hashish, by which
they were thrown into a kind of &C.

called "Hashishin," meaning hemp

Power OF Money.

Money may be misused. The power
1t represents may be abused, says a
noted writer, just as the power Of the
press or any other physical or social
force may be abused. And the desire
for money may be perverted, just as
may be any other normal or healthy
desire. But that is not the way to look
at money any more than 1t is the way
to look at any other power or quality
of human nature that may be used Ell
ther for good or evil.

There is probably no country in the
world where the use of walking sticks
is SO general as in the United King
dom. Practically every man carries a
cane, not only in the towns and cities,
but also In the country; and, in addi-
ton, there is a large demand for walk
ing sticks for women, these being used
extensively in the country and at sea-
side resorts, but not to a great extent
in the cities.
The winter months are always rainy
and ever during the summer the wealth
er is often very unsettled, so that the
use of umbrellas is also unusually
great. These conditions have made
