It is a religion to make a Navajo blanket. Through the kinky, bristlinp t.wine of the n nrp are woven tlie hopes and aspirations of an immortal foiiI. In the warm colors are expressed the ardors of passionate hearts, the sand ytortns they have faced, the cloud bursts miller which their backs have bent, the smiling" sunshine th-at ha dried their wool, all the adverse and pood fortunes that hae befallen are wrong-lit into the intricnte designs-. The squaw prays- as she pushes the wool cart, and she prays as she tnirls the dKt nfT in her hands or rolls it on her thigh; she prays- as she arranges the hea Ids; she prays as she lust il y pound f down the woofstrands with her scrub oak batten, sayn the Southern Work man. A blanket is all a prayer, a human document, n hinyrijnhy bright with the joy tints of canary yellow, dark with the olive green of pain, (hie is drawn to It because one's heart is moved by Its Ineffable, intangible humnnness. One f strangely iimuhI to both laugh ter and tears by its exquisitely variant colors, each e.Npre-sing an emotion by its warmth of blended fibers, each throbbing to a note of triumph or of woe.

Thou sands of bushels are being fed to the cattle and pigs and the rider mills are glutted with raw material for the presses. It seems a pity to see uch a large quantity of fine fruit going to waste. It is almost superfluous to of fer suggestion in the line of thought ful philanthropy to Dr. Hale, but the glutted condition of the orchards sug gests that it might be a good idea to renew his farmers' fruit offering scheme, which furnished such a liberal supply of free fruit to the pyor people of Huston when it was originally un dertaken. I'ndoubtedly a great many bushels of apples can now be had for the asking. Official Cravat Adjoatera. The l ailing haberdashery ahopa employ only clerks who are expert In arranging cravat shapes.
