The mistlike of a careless kreppr In
the nieniiifori" of KitiirllriK Hroths-rs'
circus, while exhibiting In Km nit fort,
Intl., recently, nltnost resulted in the
killing of one of tlie nttenriiints and
the brciiklnp; loose of the wild ani
mals of the ineimgerle. "Untie," the
hlppcst elephant of the circus, was
taken with crump, unci the veter
inary surgeon of the show proscribed
a tahlcspoonful of prpperriilnt In a
fint of whisky once In half an hour,
lyan, the elephant keeper, procured
Jnsr contalnltiK a gallon of whisky,
ind Ituhc was niv n it dose. Jlyan had
Kccaslon to leave the tent, and care
lessly left the Jiitf within reach of Hi?
elephant, who had had'a taste of the
contents. When Ilyati leturned he
.41 was surprised to find the Job un
corked and empty. Fearing discharge,
should Ills carelessness he discovered,
and knowing full well where the con
teutsof the juhadn'ie, hehastftied
to a near-by sjloon lo lme It retllled
beforo the mistake should be found
out.
Hut It was not Ions before the ele
phant bfKiin to develop symptoms ol
intoxication. The attention of olhet
keepers whs attracted by peculiar
noises, the like of which they had
never heard before. Tney hastened
lo tho tent to find the huge limit
rock Inn from side to side with a
peculiar llv'ht In its little eyes. One
of the men took an elephant hook
and endeavored to calm the excltt-u
beast, but the mcdi.dnc was not of a
soothing nature, and Kibe became
very angry. With a remarkably quick
motion the keeper was seized by the
' elephant's trunk, and after belli",
held aloft fully a minute was vio
lently thrown about, twenty-five feet,
fortunately striking against. Hie side
of the tent and narrowly missing a
pole.
f AVIth a single mighty effort the
r.hams were iirouen and italic was
free. Staggering from side to side,
the animal commenced a wild ram
page through the menagerie. Tho
other elephants were panic-stricken,
and the raged animals made mad
efforts to free themselves. The tank
of the hippopotamus was in the path
of the reeling elephant, and with
loud trumpeting It commenced at)
attack which would have shortly do
mollshed the caje had not Ihe keep
ers succeeded In entangling the legs
Of the elephant In ropes in such a
manner that it was rendered help
less. In two hours the effects of the
whisky had passed off, and- Hahe was
ts peaceable as eyer and free from

A Among the natives of Flnke River,
Australia, if one falls sick or din
they at once conclude be must have
been bewitched or bitten, or hurt bj
the devil. At tho same time the.v
can bewitch others, the old ones nnd
the medicine men fostering that be
lief. For this purpose they employ a
variety of agencies as charms. Includ
ing Implements of wo:xl and hone,
which are thrown by the sorcerers in
the direction of their enemy to make
him tick or kill him, tufts of feath
ers of the emu and eagle to glvo the
wearers strength to kill their ene

Inches long, of bone or wood, worn
through the septum of the nose, by
means of which they also think they

INTEHK9T In the sntiquo Industry
of tapestry-weing is KrHilunlly
mutiifesting itself in mnny (piarters
4 of the I lilted Btntes, nu I Is only
nimthf r tvidi-nce of tho development of
the American tnstcfor high art. in re
rpnne to impiiries from persons inter
ested In this f!ich:nting subject, the
Wute Department it.mo time since re
quested I'nitcd States C'onul-Uenernl
Adnm K. Kinj;, of I'aris, to gather such
infiiriimtinn hs w:is nceessihle eonrerninj
the ninnuliitture of t-ipetrics In France,
mkitig untidily nhrmt the Uubclins, nn
ettnblisliment In 1'nrii hel'tnuing to the
French O.ivernnitnt, nnd devoted to tho
pipiluctinn o tapestries and cm-pets.
The (iobclins are the Inrgcst nnd most
important 111 inufnetuicrs not only in
France, but In t lie entire world. Their
plnee Is situated lu Avenue des CnlicMor,
nnd (bites its tstiiblishtnent Irmu the
early )art of tlie llftecntli ten ury, when
two brothers, Jchuti nnd Gillei Uiihelin,
discovered an iniptovement in scarlet
dye which nmn rose into great repute.
After more than lift? years t lie p'.unt m
bought in 16l'!i by Liutis XIV.
Tlie National mnmifnetory of tl:e Gobe
lins is now divided into three distinct
(eelloi.i the dre shops, tnpestry shops
and carpet wotk lios. The dyu shops,
or works, pruduce not only every kind
of color, but twenty to thirty dilTcrent
shades of each. While tunny of the
hangings worked fifty years' ago nru
nlte.idy laded, the factory is now able to
produce any color perfectly fast. Tills
great success is due to the' labors of the
eminent chemist, Clievreuil, who was
employed by the (jnvcriituenl to instruct
the Uohelini dyers. I,ri;e rooms are
devoted to tho high warps, upon which
tue tapestries are suspcuded as t lit; work
goes on, and some idea of tlio ex piisitu
nature and delicate character of the
work mty be gained from the fact tnt
nn Of list cannot produce in one year more
thnu one-fourth of a squire yard.
The method of manufacturing tapes
tiles is as follows: The desigu is first
painted in oil colon of the tapestry to
be ibsaufsctureJ, after which a second
one, but of natural size, is painted, per
mitting to distinguish, besides the exact
size, the colors and gradations of the
future tapestry. The design is then
traced ou the back of tho warp with
pencils. Tho colors, or wefts, are then
dyed, prepared and assorted, ami are
wound separately on a spouliu mado of
boxwood, and shaped like a canoe
man's paddle, that lias a blade at both
cads.
The warp banes from a horizontal
cylinder, and as every jsid is completed !
it is wound upon another cylinder in tho
lower part of the fritue. The artist ;
stands behind tie tapestry, aud with his
worsteds and silka at hand, begins to j
work in the different colors over the I
ground roarked with the tracings ol the
picture to be woven. The number of I
colors entering into a tapestry ntc-ssarly I
influences the quality, as upou I hi same
warp fifty different patterns tnsy be
manufactured, according to the number
of colors employed, 'ihe subjects that
the tapestnts represent also influence
their value, ordiuary shaded green land
scapes, for example, costing much less
thau portraits requiring a variety of
Colors.
The vertical threads of tho warp are
divided by a little tool called a huddle,
which keeps half of tboin in advance of
tho rest, but those behind cau be brought
forward wheaever required by meant of
mall cordr, oue of wnich is attached to
each warp thread. The left hand is in
troduced between tho two sets of threid,
taking up a many as need be, and
through these the needle is passed from
lclt to right. The thread whea stretched
is plied with the pointed needle, and Is
then passed back in the contrary direc
tion through the space opened by shitt
ing the position of the iron and b.tck
threads; by ingeniously couiMuing the
woofs, the colors aie made to bleud per
fectly, and effects are obtained liketUoie
of paintings.
The characteristics of the Gobelins
tapestries are especially large historical
scenes, reproductions from celebrated
paintings, etc. The Gobelins carpet de
partment weaves velvet carpets, in which
historical and mythological subjects are
reproduced. These carpets are manufac
tured ia the same way as velvets, that is,
the wefts, alter having been woven into
warps, are sheared upon the fat of the
tissue facing the artist by measurement to
a given length, to give more or less thick
ness to the velvet effects. The warp ate
disposed in the same manner as for the
manufacture of tapestries, but the artists
work with the face of the tissues facing
them, while, as previously sbov' it is
the reverse in tbe maoufap' ,cg of
tapestries. Tue carpets are r. uarkable
(or smoothness, evenness of texture, their
strength aud fineness exceeding even tho
Persian in this respect. Some of them
require from live to tea years for their
completioo, and cost tfi.OUO to $20.0UO.
All these carpets made during the reigu
of Napoleou III. were used for tbe decor
itioDS of the imperial palace. The largest
ever made was manufactured for the
gallery of the Louvre. It consists of
leventy-two pieces, the total length being
wore than 13UU feet.
Ia tbs city of Aubusson there are pri
vate mauulaoturers 1 who manufacture
upon the same general principle as ia tbe
State establishments, but simply lying the
procedure, sod not manufacturing as line,
or with tbe same car sad time. Tbe
warps employed are always in a horizon
tal position, and tbe designs, which are
ia general but water-color, and some
times ordinary oil paintings, or merely
plsccd beneath tbs warps in such a mas
Mr that tbe workmen may distinguish
tbtjB and carry tbs dasigna and wist
In irs. ITowever, when crest attention if
given, tapestries rivalling those of shi
fctite manufactories may be made. Au
busson Is a town of about 700(1 people
The chief industry is that of tapestry
weaving. The oldest factotles were es
tablished in the fifteenth century. Twt
very different kinds of tapestry are bers
manufactured, namely, the artistic kind,
used for armchairs, furniture hangings,
mural decorations, and the like, (lit
prices of which ruu from (15 to f IOC
per square metre, according to the shndt
and fineness of designs. About
workmen are occupied in the production.
at an average wage of eighty cents pel
day. The other kind is ordinary tapes
try for floors, which are worth froif
seventy-five cents to i'i per square metre.
These workmen do mechanical weaving
with .Tacqusrd frames, and the ntmibei
of wnrkmnu employed on this class o!
goods is lflOO.
The artists employe 1 by ths French
State manufactories of tfioestries receiv
very high salaries, while those employed
at Aubusson by privnto maniifactoriel
are not very well paid. Tho time re
quired to manufacture tapestry of or
dinary dimensions at the Gobelins Is, ni
an average, three years; while at Au
basson a few months are sullicieat.
Oldest t'o;y of t le Honk of Zecliarlut
At the International Orientalist Con
gress in London, Knghnd, a most Inter
esting document was submitted by Itev.
Professor Ilechler, chiplain of the llrit
ish Embassy at Vienna, a distinguished
Orientalist. 11 is a papyrus manuscript,
discovered a few months ago in Kypt,
supposed by some to be the oldest copy
extant of portions of the Old Testament
books of Z icliariali and Malachl.
These pages of papyrus when Intacl
were about, ton inches high and seveo
Inchos wide, each containing twenty
eight lines of writing, both sides of ths
sheet being used. Tlie complete litis
contains from fourteen to seventeen let
ters. The sheets are bound together In
tho form of a book, In a primitive
though careful manner, with cord and
strips of old inrcliin;nt. The Greek is
written withuut intervals between the
words, a ciKtom in old Greek and old
Hebrew manuscripts. The ptpyrus is
in lair preservation, and is believed to
date from the thityl or fourth century.
It thus ranks in age witii the oldest
Greek manuscripts of tho cptuigint
version of the old Testament in, London,
Itome and lit. Petersburg.
Toe differences iu the papyrus tend to
tbe conclusion that it was copied from
some excellent original of the Scptuaglnt
Bible, first translated about 2Hi) 11. C,
(or the use of the Hellenistic Hebrews iu
Egypt, who, haviug gradually forgottcu
the Hebrew tongue, had learned to
speak Greek. It has several new lead
lugs which surpass some of tho othet
Septuagint texts in clearness of expres
sion and simplicity of grammar. It would
appear that it was copied, and not writ
ten from dictation. A secotid scribo has
occasionally corrected some mistakes of
orthography made by the original copy
ist, distiuguiihed by the different color
of the iuk.
Professor Ilechler said it was sin
cerely to be hoped that this papyrus will
soon be published in fac simile for ths
careful examination of Iiiblical schol
ars, and that it is the pressing duty of
tbe British Government to institute ao
organized and scientific search for papyri
ia Egypt. It is impossible to forecast
what surprises may be in store or what
treasures may be placed at the disposal
of modem scholarship. New York

Didrooins of tho O.lent.
The bedrooms of the Orient are far
different from those of Christendom,
Fully half the women of tho world sleep
upou the fl'ior or the ground, and even
tlie richest of the ladies of Asia have
never knowu the luxury of hair mat
tresies and spring beds. Most of these
Mongolian bsautiut don't know what a
featiier bed moans, nnd there is in most
museums a Japanese pillow, consisting
of a piece of wood about tho siza of a
lnuf of bread, witU a piece ol soft paper
tied on the top of it, and so made that
it will just fit ioto Yum Y'utu's neck and
prop her bead off the floor.
Tho Japanese girl never needs to shake
up ber pillow, and it is her neck rather
than bead that lies upou it. Tbe same
kind of pillows are ued in China and
Siam, and as to the average woman of
Hiudostan, she doe cot kuow what a
pillow means.
Tbe Coreaa pillow is about eight
inches square and a foot long. I bava
seen somo that were two fest long, They
are as bard as though they were datirons
wrapped iu cloth, and there is nothing
comfortable about them. Tue Egyptians
use lare pillows, and tue beauties of
tbe harems sleep on big divans, whica
are oftea covered with Turkish rugs.
The ricuest woman in Cains, whose
husband died wortU tea millious, bss a
bed fully sis feet squire. It if made of
teak weed, and it is covered with ropes
instead of a mattress. Tbe old lady lie
on a canvas stretched tightly over this,
and she does not know what spriusare.

Now It I tlie Foxi Turn.
8nme time ago it was found that the
Norway rats were multiplying; so fast on
Sable Island that they were killing oil
tue rabbits, which are valuable to tho
inbabltauts as a food. A number of
cats were, therefore, imported from
Halifax and turned loose ou the island
to kill the rats. Tbe cats disposed of
sums of the rats, but soon discovered
that it was easier to catch the rabbit
and tbat they tasted better. They mint!,
plied so fast and made such bavoa with
tbe rabbits tbat finally a lot of foxes
were brought to tbe island to kill the
cats. Tbe foxes have been doing their
work too well. They killed tba cats,
and then turned their attention to tba
sea fowl that haunt tba island, destroy
log their eggs and aatiog up tb!r young,
and bow ths islanders are begging tba
Government to rid thin af tbe loaei.

"German
Syrup"
I n:n a farmer at Iidoin, Texas. I
have used German Syrup for six
years successfully for Sore Throat,
Coughs, Colds, Hoarseness, Pains in
Chest and Lungs and Spitting-up of
Blood. I have tried many kinds of
Cough Syrups in my time, but let
me say to anyone wanting such a
medicine German Syrup is the best.
We are subject to so many sudden
changes from cold to hot, damp
weather here, but in families where
German Syrup is used there is little
trouble from colds. John F.Jones.
