WHITTIER PRAISED COUNTRY
WEEKLY

Perhaps no nicer tribute to the COM
munity weekly has been penned than
that written by the poet, John Green
leaf Whittier, and hidden away beau
tifully in that well-night immortal po-
EN-, "Snowbound." Just to refresh
your memories the lines are repeated
At last the foundering carrier bore
The village paper to our door.
Lo! broadening outward as we read
To warmer zones tn horizon spread
In panoramic length unrolled
We saw the marvels that it told.
Welcome to us its week-old news,
It's corner for the rustic muse,
It's monthly guage of snow and rain
It's record mingling in a breath
The wedding bell and dirge of death;
Jest, anecdote, and love-lorn tale;
The latest culprit sent to jail;
It's hue and cry of stolen and lost,
It's vendue sales and goods at cost,
And traffic calling loud for gain.
We felt the stir of hall and street,
The pulse of life that round us beat;
The chill embargo of the snow
Was melted in the genial glow;
Wide swung again the ice-locked door
And all the world was ours once more

ONE OF EARLIEST OF ARTS
Embroidery With the Needle
Been Practiced as Far BACK 40
History Records.

Embroidery is the art OF ornament
Ing cloth and other materials with ING
needle. Most Of the embroideries mace
today are usually copies OF the an
cient ones.
Embroidery is believed to have Deen
applied to skins almost as soon as
needle and thong were first employed
to Join pieces of skins together INTO
garments. In LapIand the natives EN-
broider thei~ reindeer-sk1n clothins
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 erbroider skins with figures Oh
flowers and animals, supplementins
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 embroidertes is at
tributed to the Fourth century, d. W.
and is in colored woods on wool.
