GobeIin Tapestries,

The most famous products In the
history of weaving are the so-called
Gobein tapestries, fashioned in the
factory on the site where many years
ago Jean and Philibert Gobelin, mer-
chant dyers of scarlet, had their works.
The name of Gobelin has always been
identified with the product Of these
ancient looms, which, for over $50
years have turned out tapestries solely
for the state. In times Of peace these
never leave France except as gifts to
visiting kings and chief magistrates.
Formerly 300 artisans and appren-
tlces were employed in the Gobelln
works, weaving textiles after designs
by lie Brun, Boucher and many cele-
brated artists. Today the wOrkmen
number 60 and as an expert weaver
can produce only five square feet a
year, it IS understandable why the
tapestries bring such exceedingly high
prices. 1t is estimated that the
minimum value of a square foot of
Gobelln tapestry Is $3.50.

Weather & Crop COn0ltions in Wis.

The weather of the week was mod
erately warm and, in most localities
dry. This was favorable for harvest
ing and threshing, but the nights have
still been too cool for the best growth
of corn, and rain is needed in many
sections for pastures and meadows and
in some localities for corn and pota-
toes. Corn has improved; in most To-
calteS it is growing rapidly. Potatoes
continue good almost generally. Win
ter wheat, rye, and barley are being
threShed in southern counties and har-
vesting is in progress in the north; the
yields are only fair. The harvesting OF
spring wheat and oats is in progress
Oats is heading on short straw, but the
heads are well filled; rust is reported
in several localities, and it is badly
lodged in some sections.

One of the most romantic survivals
of the Mexican revolution Is the story
of the bracelet of CarlOtta.
Carlotta, daughter of the king of
the Belgians, was the devoted wife Of
Macmillan, whom Louis Napoleon
placed on the throne of Mexico, and
who after establishing himself in i'm
peria grandeur, was defeated by the
republican troops under Juarez, and
with two of his generals Miramon and
Mejla was executed by a firing squad
on the hill of Las Campanas in 1861
The bracelet was an exquisite affair
of gold given by the emperor to Car
lotta at the time of their marriage.
When CarlOtta left Mexico the brace
let was given by her to one of her
ladies-in- waiting. But in the flight
from Mexico it was lost. 1t did not
appear again, as far as known, until
1914, when it was seen by an Ameri-
can adjoining the wrist of woman
companion of one of Emiliano Zapa-
tas generals. This general shortly
afterward killed the woman in fit
of jealousy and the bracelet was taken
from him later by the American. The
bracelet now adorns the wrist of a
very beautiful Spanish dancer. 1t is
said to have been presented to her by
a diplomat, "ln appreciation Of her
