ONE OF EARLIEST OF ARTS
Embroidery With the Needle Has
Been Practiced as Far Back as
History Records.

Embroidery is the art of ornament
ing cloth and other materials with the
needle. Most of the embroideries made
today are usually copies of the an
cient ones.
Embroidery is believed to have been
applied to skins almost as soon as
needle and thong were first employed
TO join pieces of skins together into
garments. In Lapland the natives en-
broider their reindeer-skin clothing
with a needle of reindeer bone, using
reindeer sinew and applique of strips
of hide.
Travellers say that in Central Africa,
among the primitive tribes there, the
girls embroider skins with figures Of
flowers and animals, supplementing
the effect with shells and feathers.
Among the ancient Greek textiles
exhumed from Crimean graves are
both tapestries and embroideries now
preserved in the Hermitage at Petro-
grad. One of the embroideries is at
tributed to the Fourth century, b. c.,
and is In colored woods on wool.

CoIonists Suffered Cold.

The houses of the early colonists in
America were not proof against the
bitter cold of winter. One volume
tells of icy blasts that blew down
Cotton Mather's great chimney SO
fiercely that this noted divine record

of 'great Fire that the Juices forced
out at the end Of short billets of wood
by tue Aeat of the flame on which
they were laid, yet froze into Ice on
their coming ont" Judge Sewell
wrote 20 years later: "An Extraor-
binary Cold Storm of Wind and Snow.
Bread was frozen at the Lords Table.
Even though it was so Cold yet John
Tuckerman was baptized. At 6
o'clock my Ink freezes so that ! can

In his pompous fashion of a cold win
