When Cleveland “booms" the Repub* Ucau party trembles. , The umbrella manufacturers of New York and Philadelphia have decided to form a trust for mutual benefit. This, of course, means they will all raise the um brella. The Houston (Tex.)

Mr. Andrew Carnegie’s workmen, upon bis return to Pittsburg from the west the other day, met him with a brass band at the depot. Mr. Carnegie, however, did not sub stantially recognize their loyalty and begin the work of reducing his income by lessen ing their hours of labor, or restoring the 10 per cent, recently taken off their wages. A New York ropemaker reoently re turned from Italy with the information that it is cheaper to dwell in marble halls in that country than to live in a wooden build ing. Marble costs less thau pine scantling. That announcement will destroy lots of the romance that hovers about the gleaming white structures along the shore of the Bay of Naples; A report has been circulated recently that Dr. T. DeWitt Talmage, the famous Brooklyn orator, would remove to London to take charge of a paper formerly edited by Mr. Spurgeon. This Dr. Talmage de nies; be will ocntiuue his labors in America. The thousands of newspaper readers who en joy Talmage’s sermons in their Monday papers will be pleased to bear this. The result of the Nunnally trial at Grif fin leaves the Barrett murder as much of a mystery as ever. A popular young man has, however, been cleared of a most cruel suspicion; that is one gratifying result. The search for the murderer should, and no doubt will, go on with unabated vigil ance until the butchery of the harmless old dootor and his wife is avenged)by due proc ess of law. Thomds C. Platt, “boss” of the New York republican machine, is ready to act ■with the Harrison combination. Gen. Harrison appreciates his help, but prefers that he keep “behind the socnes."

The negro eau accomplish greater things by remaining whore he is, absorbing democratic doctrine and voting to put the best white men in the offices. He it hardly ready yet to make his mark in statecraft. If Nelson W. Aldrich is not returned to the United BtatesHeuate from Rhode Island it will be a staggering blow to protection. Beuator Aldrich was to the McKinley bill in the Benate what McKinley hitnself was to the bill In the House— its champion and the leader of the favoring forces. Senator Ald rich's sucoeasor will be elected by the nett general assembly of Rhode Island, the mem bers of which will he hello ted tor in tbs state election next month The defeat of Ail rich is * ‘ ‘coneurutuellon devoutly to be wished” by the democrats, end they ere tetkir g e good fight tv that end. Where Watson Would Lead Them la our Washington dispatches yesterday it was stated that Representative WatsoD, the leading member of the People’s party la the House, is very much gratified at the defeat of the free silver coinage bill. He is quoted as saying that “the action of tbs House on the silver bill is the death knell of the democratic organization. No power on earth can now keep Georgia from going into the electoral college with the People’s party delegation. I confidently believe the same is true of several other southern states.” It will be seen from the foregoing that Representative Watson rejoices be cause he thinks there is a very fair prospeot of defeating the election of a democrat President. He doesn’t expect that the People’s party will elect its presidential ticket. Indeed, he knows that the People’s party has no chance of doing anything of the kind. He is so bitterly opposed to the Democratic party— the partv whioh sent him to congress—that he is determined to use his utmost endeav ors to have a republican elected President — to keep the Republican party in control of the government, and to strengthen the con trol of that party. That Is what the carry ing of several southern states by the People’s party would amount to. It is easy to understand why Representa tive Watson would like to see the Demo cratic party in Georgia beaten. He has severed his connection with that party, and unless the People's party can defeat that party in Georgia his public career will come to a sudden and inglorious end. What be is aiming at, therefore. Is to bring about a condition of affairs that, he hopes, will permit blm to continue in publlo life a white longer. But what have the farmers of Georgia, whom he is trying to lead out of the Democratio party, to gain hy the defeat of that party! It 1s olear, as Representative Watson virtually admits, that the People’s party has no chance of getting control of the government, and that if the Democratic party is defeated in several southern states the Republican party will remain in con trol of the government But what have the farmers of Georgia or of the south to hope from such a condition of affairs? Have they reas n to expect more from the Republican, than the Democratio party? Have they reason to expect as much? Do they not know that the triumph of the Republican party means legislation hostile to them? Is not the Republican party openly and aggress ively against the free coinage of silver and a reduction of the tariff taxes? Is it not against about everything that the southern people consider necessary for their happi ness and material prosperity! Representa tive Watson will not say it is not, and yet a fair interpretation of bis utterances and actions is that be would rather see that party in control of the government than the Democratic party. There is no doubt that'the great bulk of the People’s party is more kindly disposed to the Republican than to the Democratic party, but is there any reason why the southern farmers should be. Have the southern farmers anything to hope for from the Republican party? Have they ever had any reason to regard it as their friend? Do they not remember their suffer ings at the hands of that party bow they have been despoiled by It and bow their dearest rights have been threatened by it, and yet Representative Watson rejoices because bis party—the People’s party—will enable that party to get a tighter grip upon the govern ment—a grip that it may not be possible to break in many years. If the farmers of Georgia or any other southern state are going to play into the hands of the Republican party, as Kepre sentative Watson wants them to, we shall be greatly disappointed in them. We believe they are wide awake enough to their own interest and deeply concerned enough for the welfare of the South not to adopt any political course that would give the Repub lican party—the enemy of the south— another lease of power. They may be a little unsettled about a number of questions just now, but when the actual political sit uation is placed before them they will see that they could make no greater mistake than to accept Representative Watson as a leader and give encouragement to the People’s party. The reoently discovered loop-hole in the United States anti-Chinese law, whereby it is possible for this country to be flooded with Chinese bearing certificates of British citizenship issued by Canadian courts, is arousing considerable comment on both sides of the line. The Canadian authorities are beginuing to see the necessity for taking some action in the matter, and it is said a bill will be Introduced this week in the par liament at Ottawa increasing the head tax on Chinese from SSO to SIOO each, and plac ing heavy restrictions on vessels takiug Chinese as passengers. There are now 6,000 Chinese in Montreal waiting to be natural ized in order to get into the United States. Unless Canada dues something to close this loop-hole at cuoe the United States may find it necessary to propose a revision and modification of the treaty with Great Britain admitting her subjects. Miss Helen Gould, daughter of the Wall street king, is unfortunate in appearing peculiarly prepossessing to cranks. A second crank within three months has an nounced himself os Miss Gould’s suitor and sought an interview with her. Her last crack-brained beau, the same young man who recently desired to analyze Cornelius Vanderbilt's brain, called at the Gould resi dence in New York day before yesterday and introduced himself. A servant promptly threw him down the steps and an officer took him away. If this kina of thing goes on much longer it may seriously effect Miss Gould’s matrimonial prospects. A young man who goes a-courting "sure enough” will not wish to run the risk of being suspected of crantomanla, not to mention the risk of the lockup. Dr. Curry, agent of the Peabody fund, and tho Girls’ Industrial ana Normal School at Milledgevills, made favorable im pressions on each other Tuesday, and the result may be an Increase in the donation from the fund for the school. Dr. Curry Is a noted educator, and appreciates the good work belug dons by the institution; on the other hand the school appreciates ths sound advice glveu by him. and will profit by bis splendid address. It is gratifying to know that young "Jim” Blame’! letters to his wlfs are not to he made public. Ths people are sated with letters relating to domestic difficulties. But It would be interesting to know ths entires of diplomacy employed by Macrotary iUains to astaUtsh a "modus vlvaudi” between hluisuif aud tbs angry young woman. THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 1892. Signs of Activity. It is a source of satisfaction that demo crats tnroughout tba state are taking the advise of the Morning Nxws with respect to organizing and getting ready for an ear nest and aggressive campaign. The indica tions are, as already stated, that the Demo cratic party is going to have opposition in the approaching election that will be more formidable than any it has had to contend against for several years. In order to carry on an effective campaign organization is necessary. With thorough organization democrats will have but little trouble in carrying every county in the state. There are, however, thousands of voters who do not take the trouble to inves tigate public questions. They simply act with those who make a show of strength. In other words, they drift with what ap pears to be the current of public sentiment. It is necessary to make them effective by organization. There are democrats all through the state who are showing indifference to democratic sucoess because they are being told that the denioeratio House of Representatives is in the grasp of Wall street. That tort of talk should be taken for just what is worth—and it is worth nothing. The truth is, there is an honest difference of opinion among democrats on the question of the free coinage of sil ver. Those who oppose free coinage have no hostility to silver. They would favor it if they could be satisfied that it would be for tbs best interests of the country. They are confident it would not. They believe it would be productive of wide spread disaster. If other great commercial nations would favor it thoy would have no objection to it, but it is worthy of notice that the prosperous nations oppose it. If they thought it would be beneficial to their people they would be quick to adopt it. But whether it would be beneficial to the people of this country or not it is certain that the democrats of the House who are opposing it are not the agents of Wall street, as charged. They are as sincere friends of the farmers as those who are favoring it. The democrats of this state, however, should go on with the work of organizing for the approaching campaign, confi dent that the Democratic party will do what is best for the people and will do It much sooner than any other party. And in selecting delegates to the state convention they should be careful that wire pulling politicians do not commit them In favor of candidates they do not favor. There is an impression that a desperate attempt is being made to pack the state convention in the Interest of one candidate. Let the demo cratic voters see to it that only delegates who represent them are sent to the state convention. The Passing of Spreckela. Philadelphians are not so much in love with Claus Sprockets as they were. Not very long ago they thought he was one of the great men of the country and they were proud of him. They pointed him out to their out-of-town friends and told wonder ful stories of his wealth and of his unselfish devotion to the publlo good. Now they think he is the commonest kind of common clay and they speak of him as a grasping and sordid millionaire. They deolare they are glad he has gathered together his belongings and gone back to California. He went to Philadelphia from San Fran cisco a year or two ago with the avowed purpose of breaking down the sugar trust, whose headquarters are In New York. Ho made great promises about what he would do, declaring he would spend every dollar of his fortune before he would yield to tho trust. He ereoted a sugar refinery which cost about $5,000,000, and which filled tho Quaker hearts of the staid Philadelphians with quiet joy. He refined sugar and sold it to the Philadelphia dealers at New York prices, thereby enabling them to get control of a good deal of the sugar trade that had been monopolized by the New York merchants. But it turns out that Mr. Bpreckels was playing a big game of bluff. What he was seeking to do, apparently, was to compel the trust to buy his plant at a big profit. A few days ago he sold his refinery and all its belongings to tho trust for $7,000,- 000. In a very short time he pocketed $2,000,000, which he has carried to California with him. Philadelphia merchants now have to buy sugar of the trust at trust prices. The alleged trust smashers are all alike. Behind their professions of hostility to trusts and declarations of a desire to devote their lives and their fortunes to the work of promoting the public good is the settled pur pose to get the better of the publio the first good chance that presents itself. Their only purpose is revenue. The view they take of the public is that so forcibly ex pressed by tho late William H. Vauderbilt. There are many points of similarity be tween the beginning of the recent Chilean war and the present trouble in Venezuela. Palacio, the President of Venezuela, is called a usurper and a traitor by his enemies, and is opposed in congress by a strong party, just as llalmaceda was. On the side of the president are ten senators and twenty-six deputies; against him there are fourteen senators and thirty-two deputies. Palacio has issued a manifesto very much like that issued by Balmaceda, in which he proclaims bimsolf a patriot, and denounces the oppo sition as an oligarchy. He has imprisoned a number of judges of the supreme court because they have criticised him, aud oth erwise followed the example of the notori ous Chilean president. It will be interesting to watch how much further the parallel will run. Leo XIII. is now devoting himself to preparations for his death. Besides his spiritual preparations he has given instruc tions as to the disposition of his body, the election of his successor and ruaDy other matters to occur when be shall have sur rendered his charge. One of bis last acts in this line was to deposit in bank the sum of 5,000,C00 lire to be paid to his successor. This fund has been saved by the eoouonnes introduced at the VaticaD, aud Is deposited in anticipation of future difficulties that the Holy Bee may euoounter under anew P°P* Quay should apply to ths government for a liberal pension.

Ths new volume of poems by the late Earl of Lytton is called “Marrah.” The volume will in clude the poem upon which he was engaged at the time of his death. Paris is to have anew paper, published in English, with theosophy and occultism as Its specialty, and an American woman, Mrs. Flor ence Gray, is to be its editor. A very strong friendship exists between Chief Justice Fuller and Justice Harlan, and they are two vrry oonspicunus figures when they walk along Pennsylvania avenue arm in arm. Mrs. Lease, the eloquent Kansas woman who was so instrumental iu bringing about the down fall of Ingalls, declares that every man has the right to drink all the whisk) he can buy aud pay for. Kate Field does not despise the allurements and attractions of Paris gowns, which she is fond of wearing, and which become her so well as to make her look as youthful as a young girl. There are eight brothers and sisters, children of John L. Sliker, living In Morris county. New Jersey, whose average age is 76 years and 6 months. The eldest is Dearly 91 and the young est over 65. Joseph Chamberlain, who Is interesting to Americans chiefly through the circumstance that he married an American girl, has recently had the rare distinction of having an orchid named after him.

William, however, went to a friend’s to dinner on the morrow and got a good square meal himself.

The republicans hope to make something in the south by the disintegrating process started by the third party schemers. But tho disinte grators are not big enough. The Democracy to be Congratulated. From the Neu> York World (Dem.). The democracy of the nation—particularly that of the south, which has more at stake m the approaching election than any other part of the country—is to congratulated -upon this fortunate result (the shelving of the Bland hill). It leaves the party in congress free to deal energetically with questions upon which It is united and which the country has already de cided in its favor. It leaves a broad and straight war open to democratic success In the nation. The next President will be a democrat! The Democracy Unoompromised. From the Baltimore Sun (Dem.).

The Captain Was In a Hurry. A good story is told In the Chicago Times of a lisping officer having been victimized by a brother officer—who was noted for bis cold de liberation and strong nerve—aud of his "get ting equare" with him in the following manner: The cool joker, Capt. Blakeney, was always quizzing the lisping officer, a lieutenant, for his nervousness, an l said one day at mess; “Why. nervousness is all nonsense. 1 tell you no brave man is ever nervous." “Weil,” in quired his hsping . riend. “bow would you act ttipo.bing a tbeil with an inth futbee thould drop itbelf in a walled angle, in which you had taken shelter from a company of tbarp tbootertb. and where It waththertain if you put out yur noth you'd get peppered?" “How?" said the captain, with a look at his brother officers. Wny. take it coolly and spit on the fuse." The party broke up and all re tired. The next morniDg a number of soldiers were assembled on parade, when along came the lisping lieutenant. Lazily opening bis eyes, he remarked to a cluster of officers: *'( want to try au ekthperiment thith morning am see how ektheedingly cool Tom Blakeney can be." Say ing this he walked deliberately into the captain s quarters, where a fire was burning on the hearth, and placed in its hottest part a powder canister and ln-tantly retreated. There was but one door of egress from the quarters and that opened on the parade ground The occu pant gave one look at the canister, compre hended the situation and in a moment made for the door, but it was fastened on the outside. "Charley, let me out if you love me!” shouted the captain. "Tbpitonthe canister!” shouted he in return. Not a moment was to be lost; the captain had at first snatched up a blanket to cover himself with; but soon dropping it he raised the window and out he bounded, sans everything but a very short undergarment, and thus, w th hair almost on end, he dashed on to a full parade ground. The shouts which hailed him brought out the whole of the occupants of the barracks to see what was the matter, and the dignified captain pulled a sergeant in front to hide himself. “Why didn't you tbpit on it," inquired the lieu tenant. “Because tnere were no sharp shooters in front to stop a retreat," answered the cap tain. “All I’ve got to thay then ith," said the lieutenant, "that you may thafeiy might have done it; for I’ll thware there wahn’ta thingle grain of powder in it." She Didn’t Buy Anything. “So you were out shopping, eh?” gasped Mr. Newwed at dinner last evening, in the cozy new home in Columbus avenue, says the New York Recorder. “Yes, dear, and I want to tell you all about It." "I—l gave you SSO, I believe,” he murmured, swallowing a double allowance of cafe noir. “You did, Charlie, and that's just It. I started for the shopping district at 3 o'clock and have been trotting up and down ever since. You have no idea how much we women have to contend with.” ||"Humph! Tell me about the bargains.” “There was a half-rate sale in one place; the lovliest goods you ever Raw. 8o cheap, too. Then there was a ‘knock-out counter’ in another store, where they were fairly giving things away. 1 never saw such bargains! There was a flre-and-water sale across the way, aud the way things went was astounding. Then there was a 'clearing-out' sale in tho next block. And a ’bankrupt sale’ near by. And a "marked-down list’ only a block away. And a 'half-off' sale over on——” "Great jumping Ceesar’s ghost I" “Yes. and I attended them ail. O, suoh as tonishing bargains!” “And I suppose that now I’ll have to announce a ‘half rate’ sale on my personal effects, and a 'knock-out' sale on my salary, and a 'cl sing out’ sale on my bank book, aud a ’cast-off’ sale with my uncle, and a ‘go-to grass' sale on the kitchen fixtures—just to equalize the pressure, eh?” “Charlie, you ungrateful wretch. I was about to say that I consider myself a jewel! After all the careful teachings of mamma, just as if I couldn’t save your money, and" “Well, they all say that.” “I—l didn’t buy a thing. Here’s your SSO bllll” "What’s that?” “That’s what I saidl” “My angel!” he gasped, dropping his fork, "forgive me, I have wronged you!" "I didn’t use the money; but I ordered a wagon load of nice things aud had them charged. So there!” Not Reconciled Yet. “If I pretended to know anything about finance," said the exchange editor, "and couldn’t tell when the first greenback was issued " , “The first greenback,’’ interrupted the finan cial editor in a loud metallic voice, "was Issued when Noah drove the bullfrog out of the ark. If I hadn’t anything to do but handle snears, though, and couldn’t find out why all this fuss about the landing of the Majestic in New York wasall for nothing ’’ “But I can. It’s all Borrowed trouble. That's as simple os editing the financial department. Just you tell me if you can why the “h" was drooped out of Bering?” "Because it's the last of ’poaoh.’ Why Is ‘ ‘Hold on! That Isn’t the right answer!” “Yes, it is! Why is " *‘l say it isn’t right! I think I ought to know. It’s my conundrum." “It is because the United States is getting out anew jurisdictionary ” And then the heads of the other departments rose in revolt, says the Chicago tribune. Order was restored at last with a semblance of peace, and nothing was heard but the defiant Dr6athing of the financial editor and the im placable clip, snip and gash of the exchange editor’s shears until the blood-red sun went down in the west. A Philosophical Cockroach. From the Chicago Journal. A cockroach sat on the editor’s desk, With a cynical smile on his face, And watched the editor make grotesque Black marks on a clean, white place. "Dear me!" said the cockroach, “I can't see Why he should labor so constantly, For he doesn't accomplish a single thing With all his writiug and scissoring, Paste and scissors, Scissors and paste— Think of the energy going to waste!" The editor listened, but didn’t reply. For he had too much to do; But he said to himself, “One can't deny There's much in the point of view. One cannot measure his neighbor’s worth By the gash he makes in the face of tho earth; And I strongly suspect that he may be Perfectly right iu his judgment of me. Paste and scissors, Scissors and paste— Think of the energy going to waste!” Then the editor smashed the cookroach fiat With his scissors and buried him deep In the pot of paste and remarked: "Now, that I consider is getting off cheap. The critical faculty, as we know, Is a dangerous thing to have, and so I’ve forwarded you to a better land, For the sake of society, understand.” Then the editor took up bis peu and said. As he looked at the cockroach lying dead, “Paste and scissors. Scissors and paste— Think of the energy going to waste I” How She Was Won. Both sat on a garden seat, anti the expres sion on his face plainly sail: "I am done for!” He first broke silence by saying: "Will you be mine?" and tried to draw her a little closer. She stiffened and refused to budge, says tho Keystone. “I mean to reform and give up all my bad habits!" he urged. The object of his adoration was inexorable. “And abandon smoking." No response. “And leave off card playing.” Frigid silenoe as before. “Pd never go out of doors without you." She only shook her head. “And present you with a diamond ring during to-morrow." Thea the sweet innocent lifted her downcast eyes upward to meet his gaze, and, resting her little head on his shoulder, she faltering wills pered in his oar; ’’ O, how kind you are!" And there they sat dreaming, pondering, thinking-she about the diamond ring and he wondering where on earth hs should stump up the money to buy one BAKING JeoWHKK. " ' QBPKICES 1 fcSSgffi!

ITEMS OF INTEREST. A lew “letter card” has just been Issued by the British postofflee. It is a copy of our letter sheet idea, and is spoken of as filling “a mnch felt 'rant." The idea is to make it possible to send short notes without the publicity of a post card and at less cost than a letter. The letter card simply folds once, gummed down. The space available for writing is hy inches, A Br v, n may resist the set for years, yet in a few hours ,t may be stripped bare to the solid rock. Shells may lie covering the bottom a mile off shore, undisturbed by on-shore gales: a storm, with winds and waves apparently much the same as usual may sweep them all on shore. In other words, the will of old ocean in modifying shore lines is practically irresista ble aud his occasional devastation remediless. The number of students entered this winter at the twenty universities of Germany shows a marked decline. The total Is only 27.836 as compared with nearly 80,000 last summ-r. This decrease is general, ere —- at Berlin, wliero the number have risen fretr. 4,427 to 6,371, and at Halle, where they have risen from 1.493 to 1,522 Leipsio still holds the second place with 3,431, followed by Munich with 3,292. Threk things are seen rarely nowadays on the streets of New York, They are a runaway horse, a runaway steer and the hue and cry of “Stop thief 1” Years ago in New York these things were very frequent and every old New- Yorker can recall to mind the excited, startled and shouting crowds which seemed to overflow all barriers in pursuit of a frightened runaway horse or steer, or a fleet-footed pickpocket, highwayman er housebreaker. According to the new military laws of the Turkish empire the Turkish army on a war footing will be increased shortly from 700.0C0 to 1,000,000 men. With this prospective increase has come the necessity for anew arming of the sultan's soldiers. Cannon for the new artillery will not be ordered for some time, probably, as the army has 1,000 large guns. Only about 400 of these are mounted and ready for the field The equipment of the other 600 will be begun at once. Prof. Robertson made a statement at the New York Dairy Convention, as an Illustration of the value if good feeding, that he knew of a man in tie orovmce of Quebec wno had four cows. In 1888 they gave 78 pounds .of butter each. He commenced feeding a little corn and bran, and in 1889 they gave 131 pounds of but ter each. He kept increasing the ratio .and good care, and in 1890 it was 204 K. “ad this year it w ill be 250 pounds. Thiß shows what men can do with the common cow. The average amount of fire alarms in a year in New Y'ork city is a little more than 4,000, which is at the rate of more than ten alarms a day. Less than one-quarter of the fires start between 11 p. m. and 7 p. at., while about three-quarters start between 7a. m. and 11 p. tn. Oddly tbe alarms are rarest between 6 and 7 a. m., when fires for household and busl nest purposes are kindled generally. The busiest time for firemen is between 8 and 9 p. m. about the t me that fires for household purposes go out. When the head of a Bulgarian family per ceives that he is about to die he sends for the priest and begins to bargain with him about the cost of his funeral. The moment he dies all pots, pans and kettles in the house ore turned upside down to prevent his soul taking refuge in any of them, and great care is taken to pre vent either man or animal-especially cat or dog—from stepping a ross his body, as other wise, in the opiuion of his family, he would turn Into a vampire, and so be a continual nulsanoe to them and their neighbors. In a microscopical article in one of the great German quarterlies Dr. G. A. Lindner discussed the occurrence of the "eels" which are so com mon in weak or impure vinegar. The male of this interesting little species of ser pent measures 1 to IK millimeters and the female from iK to 2K mil limeters in lensrth, They move very actively in any fluid medium, but in thick or sticky concoc tions coil themselves into knots and lay dormant for days together. They thrive well if fed on an e.g diet; will also live on fruits and bulbs. They can survive tolerably strong vinegar, but die immediately if put In pure, noetic acid. One of the most wonderful facts concerning tho reproduction of vinegar eels is that the female reproduces viviparously or oviparously. according to the nutritive medium and the temperature! They flourish best in a temperature between 60“ and 80“ Fahr.. and are killed when the temperature runs up to above 107°, or below the freezing point. How they get into vinegar is one of the un-xplained mysteries. Some eminent men of learning have attempted to prove that they get in during manufacture; exactly how, they do not explain. Among new fabrics for household decoration are the “shadow siUs" designed by the Society of Decorative Artists. They j>resent exquisite color combinations of softly shaded tints in in distinct patterns on changeable backgrounds, aud are most rich and artistic in effect. They are used for portieres, curtains, mantel drapes, cushions and spreads. In the form of curtains thev are simply hung and frequently made up with no trimming except a hem folded up on the right side of the silk itself, which is so un like on the two sides.as to have the effect of a ba id of entirely different material when folded back upon itself. In mantel covers the silk may be bordered with a fringe or have tassels only at the corners. The scarf is draped but once near one end For table spreads.if more than one width is required for the spread, a length is split, overhanded by the selvages, hemmed all round either plainly or with the hem turned back on the right side across theeDds, and has tassels at the corners. “Bee brocade" is another effective material for table covers. It comes in all art colors, shell blue, green or terracotta, and has a self coloied all-over design of the Napoleonio emblem. In the oorners of the spread a flight of bees is selected and outlined with gold thread. The edge is simply hemmed. Mail cloth is an other handsome material well used for spreads or portieres. It is a heavily woven material, somewhat resembling large meshed canvas. It is effectively wrought with conventional pat terns ddne in rope silk, caught down to the pat tern with finer silk, an operation not Involving a great deal of time and labor. -■n-.4. w .y ARHIAGK ' mImuII?
