It wns made originally by nuns within tho walls of convents for ecclesiastical garments.

In 1870 tho Princess Margherlta, aft- erward queen of Italy, took measures to rovivo It, especially ns n means of providing employment for Venetian womon. At present there nro several schools, subsidized by tlio government, In which tho nrt Is taught. Tho pupils aro women of nil nges.

That wood floats Is such a common- placo fact In our lives that wo hardly give It any thought If wo lived In tropical climates wo would lenrn to distinguish between woods Hint float and woods that do not float. Many of tlio woods of Mexico and South Amer ica are so heavy oven when porfectly dry that they will sink In water, nota bly lignum vltac, which is tho wood commonly used for bowling balls. Among our common natlvo woods there nro several that will not float when green. The cypress of Uio south Is often girdled a year before It Is cut so that It will dlo and dry whllo stand Ing, thus making It possible to float tho logs to tlio mllL Tho reason why somo woods float Is not because tho substance of which they nro mndo Is lighter than wntcr, but becnuse the cavities In tho cells nro so large that tho air In them buoys up tlio wood. Tho material (cellulose) which composes tlio greater part of Uio cell wall Is heavier than water, so that If tho nlr In Uio cells Is replaced by wa ter tho wood will sink. This Is just what happens to wood which has been In water for n long tlmo and has be come "waterlogged." It Is Uio targe water content of the henrtwood of freshly felled oaks nnd hickories nnd of tho sapwood of cer tain conifers Uint causes theso woods to sink, for when dry they will float. Lignum vltno and other heavy trop ical woods, even when dry, sink bo- causo most of Uio cell cavities nro bo small compared to Uio thick celt walls Unit the nlr in tho cnvlucs Is not enough to float tho wood. CULTIVATE RELIABILITY. It le Always In Demand and Add to a Man's Worth. Tho demand for reliability novcr ceases. If you buy a piece or maciiin- ery you want It to bo dependable. When you purchaso new clothes you desire them to bo durable. If you elect nn otllclnl you require that ho shall be trustworthy. When you take on nu em ployee you Inquire whether he can lie relied on, as to his word, his work, his loyalty. It Is so In nil the relations of life. While there Is much unreliability, you never hear of anybody seeking It or placing a premium upon It Tho reliable man Is always spoken of In terms of praise. Ills friends boast that he can bo defended njon to do n certain thing under n certain set of cir cumstances without vnrlabieiicss or shadow of turning. They say they can And him In tho dork nnd enn trust him then with Uio snmo faith as In the broad light of day. They refer to him ns one whom you can tie to. They have no fears that ho will either default or betruy. Ho has nil the steadiness and fidelity of a well trained plow horse. He muy lack brilliance nnd finish. Ho may not bo u genius. Hut ns far ns his abilities go he Is as reliable as Umo It self, and thus ho becomes more or less of nu Institution In the circle within which he moves mid nu anchorage for those dependent iiton him In any way whatever.
