The Finest
Woucn
T oblec[oth
in the " orld

is now to be seen in a
window Of the Store on
the Ninth Street side of
the New Building where
it is spread out in all It's
dramatic beauty.
Woven Of silk and linen
in 1889 for the Paris expo
sition of that date by j.
Cassc and Son, Of Paris, it
represents the igh-water
mark of artistry in table
linen weaving.
"Casse worked like an
artist and not like a business
man" says one who knew
him well. He made the fin
est table linens in the world.
Before the dissolution of his
firm, long since out Of ex-
lstencc, a representative Of
John Wanamaker Store tried
20 buy this wonderful dam
ask of M. Cassc. Always he
replied "It is not for sale
or II should not know what
to ask you for it," The
mounting of the loom alone
cost over 20, 900 francs. Now,
after many years it has come
into our hands by strange
turn of circumstances.
Without hesitation we are
able to declare it to be a
masterpiece, the greatest,
tinest-woven tablecloth linen
which has ever been made.
The Story it Tells
The Tablecloth~-12 feet 6
inches wide by II feet 8
inches long in size-has d
background of rich, creamy
white, over which d great
pattern is woven in rare
tone which is neither tan,
gray nor green, but q soft
mixture of all three colors.
The pattern shows
sumptuous sixteenth century
dining-hall set for the feast.
Gracefully carved pillars
suggest the architecture of
the great hall.
Behind the table on the
wall hangs a great tapestry,
whose rich, dark pattern is
clear in each detail. The
table, groaning with viands
and bowls of fruit and tall,
slender e m m c d wine
glasses, is covered with
white cloth Of elaborate de-
sign in motifs Of lace, ex-
quisitely wrought.
A group Of satin-clad men
and women sit about the
table. A youth in silken
doublet and hose has risen
to propose the toast, his Wine
glass lifted high, while The
company. wine glasses in
hand, with upturned faces
and intent expressions, listen
to the words Of his toast. A
servitor bends over bowl
of punch resting on the floor,
preparing to refill the
glasses.
No detail is lacking in the
realism with which the stiff
ness Of the mems rutfs is
portrayed, the delicacy OF
the women's faring Eliza
bethan lace collars, the brit
tie of the glass, the color of
eyes and hair--all are woven
with consummatc art into
this remarkable silk and
linen tablecloth.

SION Commission, favors a new charter
for New York City which shah give the
city complete homo rule, subject only

necessary powers.
The merchants favor limiting the
borough presidents to purely admins
trativc functions. and having new

The association proposes that tho
homo rule charter shall moi attempt to
deal with details, like the present
charter, but shall make broad grant
CT powers, leaving the details to be
acted upon by the city itself In addi-
ton, the association suggests CON
sideration of limiting the power of the
Legislature to amenu the charter. SC

seem clear that the recommendation
in the report of the lyius commission,
many OF which were Incorporated in
the charter subsequently proposed by

consideration. A'5se seems to be particu-
arly desirable that a new representa-

known as a member of the Board OF Es-

only the administrative powers now
possessed, OF that some other similar
division of powers now held by the
Borough Presidents be made"

"Roast" HandbaH PLAYERS.

The excavations uttered by the In
dignant baseball fan against the un-
lucky or awkward player In America
are as gentle muunurs compared with
the epithets hurled by the occupants
of the gallery at the contestants In the
game Of handball In the Fairgrounds
OF Madrid, Spain. Rogue" Thief !"
"Convict." and Idiot! !" are some OF
the mild terms with which the play
ers are greeted when they miss a ball
or send it back in an easy position for
the opponent to play 1t.
The reason for this excitement IL
the prevalent betting, In which the
women spectators participate as much
as the men. Professional bookmakers
attend all matches, and their shouts
Of the odds for and against the play
ers are mixed with the cries Of the
gambling spectators, until the scene
resembles a bedlam.

Another Discoverer.

In an Old Spanish geographical work
on America published in 1852 by Fran
cesco Lopez de Gomera, a priest OF
Sevilla, ii is mentioned that Labrador
was reached for the first time by a
party of Norwegian sailors piloted by
John Scolvus or Jon Skolp In 1915.
The announcement was made for the
first time some years ago, but 1t was
greeted with skepticism that Column
bus had been anticipated on the Amer
lean shorts by any but Left Ericsson,
but recently additional evidence has
shown that Columbus visit to this
country was antedated by Scolvus by
20 years and steps are being taken to
urge the formers claims for honOrs.

PAPER FROM VENEER WASTE
Possibilities in Material That Has
Hitherto Been Considered to Be
Without Value.

In the wood waste from veneer fac
tories the United States forest prod
ucts laboratory sees considerable raw
material suitable for the manufacture
Of high grades Of paper. The cores OF
many kinds Of veneer logs, now used
IN a large part for fuel, would make
excellent pulpwood. In addition, a
large part Of the clippings could be
turned into pulp stock with profit.
Among the veneer woods whose
vast has paper-making possibilities
are red gum, yellow poplar, cotton
wood, birch, tupelo. Eastwood and
beech. Many veneer factories cutting
these species are already within ship
ping distance Of pulp mills. In certain
other cases veneer factories are SO
grouped that they might furnish pulp
wood enough to warrant the erection
Of a centrally located mill. Other
economic factors being favorable, such
a mill could p%roftably operate on a
daily supply Of veneer waste eQuiva-
lent to 80 cords Of ordinary pulp
wood.-Scientifc American.

CHALLENGE to THOUGHT.

When you can't do what you want to
it's a challenge to think. If you can't
do II, why can't YOU? The chances are
you will find 1t is not right that 1t
should be done at all. Or II may be
that you are not the one to do 1t.
You may want TO swim the Niagara
just below the falls SO you car boast
Of doing what has not been done. You
may want to fly to the moon so you
can write of experiences never yet
felt by man You may even want to
play the Jonah game SO you can give
your experiences of n few days In the
deep. But you can't do 1t. The why
lies in the fact that you are not made
for such exploits. To attempt any
one Of them would be to tempt self
destruction. The crowd might stand
by and watch you make the effort and
when you failed they would call you
a fool. When you can't do what you
want to-think.-Grit.

SIMPLE REASON FOR THRIFT
Its Practice Necessary That There May
Be Margin Of Production Over
Consumption.

Is II not mere caddishneSs for one
who can afford to buy and does buy
SILK skirts and silk stockings and
automobiles, and who freely admits
that he wastes money, but who justi-
hes himself somewhat belligerently
by saying that he can afford to waste
money, aud that ii is nobody's busi-
ness, TO object 10 other people doing
the same sort of thing only because
he thinks the other people cannot
afford the expenditures? Right down
In our hearts we know that the con
Germ is not all with the welfare Of
those other people who are wasting
their money; 1t is really a matter Of
Jealousy and of class distinction
based on clothing-a feeling that
these people have committed social
misdr1neanorS, as when the cook du-
plicated her mistress hat. And any
n who breaches thrift to people on
the ground that they should not have
what they like for their money Is
simply preaching nonscnsical cant. He
Is really preaching revolution.
If, then, thrift has NJ virtue In It
SEE, If every person within the limits
of the law is entitled to spend what
he can earn, and more than he car
earn If he can get away with IT, is
there any immoral reason for thrift
The reason for thrift Is plain. 1t
Is not necessary to talk about moral
ity. 1t is simply that If we do not
have thrift we shall not nave a mar
gin Of production over consumption
that Is, we shall not have capital. II
we do not have capital we cannot have
progress, for we shall have no means
wherewith to make Improvement In ex-
listing facilities for production. There
is the danger Of extravaganza. And
1t Is n very real danger.-Samuel Crow
ther, In the North American Review.
