1t Is likely that the art Of weaving,
in its most elementary form, was prac-
tlced long before men abandoned the
use Of animal skins for clothing, or
perhaps even before they adopted
clothing at all. No doubt 1t began
with the first crude attempts Of primi-
tive women to weave twigs into some
kind Of object.
After they had succeeded In making
baskets and similar articles. 1t prob
ably occurred to some bright cave
woman that clothing might be made
by weaving some soft material like
wool, says a writer, according to the
Detroit News. To do this It would be
necessary to twist tufts Of wool into
long strands. Thus the beginning Of
spinning. And as the strands OF wool
were not stiff like twigs, 1t would be
necessary to have certain number
Of them taut between poles or some
thing in order to weave the fabric.
Thus the first loom.

Dzmasceninu Art Revived.

To the father Of Zuloaga, the Span
ish painter, the world Is indebted for
the revival of the Moorish art OF
damascening, according to an article
in Conquest, British magazine Of
popular science.
Senior Zuloaga himself made many
fine pieces and inspired other workers
in this Beautiful craft. toledo daMas-
cening,- as It Is often called, Is a proc
ess of incrusting gold upon steel.
Fine lines are cut upon biackened
steel plate, and into these lines thin
gold wire is beaten with pointed tools.
The SHINING gold produces bril-
liant effect against the background Of
dark steel, and when skillfully
wrought into the flowers, beasts.
birds, and scrolls in which the Span
ish artist delights, the result is said to
be extremely beautiful, and examples
of the ware are highly priced by COL
lectors.-From the Outlook.

All Races In France.

Our nation (France) Is compounded
Of many stocks. Great migrations,
coming from the East and North and
marching toward the Southwest, have
left their successive traces In our
blood. We know only the later Of
these migrant stocks, among whom the
chief were the Celts and the Germans.
Their predecessors OF still remoter
date are unenumerated and unknown.
On the other hand, our southern and
northern coasts have attracted settle
ment from beyond the seas. The Medi-
terranean brought to our shores the
Phoenicians, the Carthaginians, the
Greeks, the Latins, and, last Of all, the
Arabs Great Britain sent her BretOns
to our ArmOrica; and Scandinavia peo-
pied with Normans the lower valley Of
the Seine.
SO France has become, so to speak.
an ethnographical synthesis Of Europe.
The blood OF all civilized mankind
courses through our veins.-From

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture.l
"Salt pickles" should be the basis
of other kinds of picked cucumbers
except dills. Whatever the final dis
position-as sour sweet or mixed
the cucumbers should first receive n
perfect curing in brine. Attempts to
use short cuts or to make pickles
''over night" are based on an err
roneous conception as to what really
constitutes a pickle.
Directions for Salt Pickles.
The United States Department of
Agriculture gives the following direc-
tions for making salt pickles:
Pack washed cucumbers in a clean
stone jar. For this purpose use only
the straight-sided, open-topped jars. A
narrow-neck jar is not satisfactory
for this purpose. The four-gallon size
holds about u pounds of cucumbers
Cover with six quarts of 10 per cent
or 40 degrees brine Gone pound of salt
to nine pints of water.) At the time
of making up the brine, or not later
than the following day, add more salt
at the rate of one pound for every Ten
pounds of cucumbers used. For 10
pounds of cucumbers add one pound
three ounces of salt to maintain the
strength of the brine. Cover with a
round board or plate and on top of
this place a weight heavy enough to
keep the cucumbers well below the
surface. At the end of one week and
of each succeeding week for five
weeks add. for this amount of cucum-
bers one-fourth pound of salt. In
adding salt always place 1t on the
cover. If the salt is added directly
to the brine it may sink to the bottom,
as result of which the salt solution
ar the bottom would be very strong,
while near the surface 1t might be so
weak that the pickles would spoil.
scum, made up usually of wild yeasts
and molds, will form on the surface.
This should be skinned off.
If pickles prepared in this way are
well covered by the brine and if the
surface remains clean they should
keep indefinitely. After a partial soak
ing in water to remove excess of salt,
these cucumbers may be eaten as salt
pickles. Many prefer them in this
form. Most people, however, like
them better after they have been
given an additional treatment in vine
gar. or in vinegar combined with sugar
nnd spices.
If the salt pickles are to be made
