The art of lacemakins was introduced
into Ireland during the middle of the 18th
century by a Jesuit who brought thither
a piece of Venetian lace as a pattern.
On this account much of the needle-point
lace done in convent schools is known as
"Jesuit lace." In 1846 special efforts
were made to encourage the spread of
lacemaking as a means of support to
the famine-stricken populace. Applique.

have been brought to this country, hut
the most popular of all is the Irish raised
needlepoint.
Skill in embroidery having sunk within
the last two centuries to the level of a
mere accomplish
ment, it requires
JEome effort for us to
realize its former
undisputed promi
nence among the nne
arts. When there
was no competition
with machinery, anrt
Individual art, pro
tected "by roya pa

plied with abundance
of time and the
richest materials
with which to de
velop originality and
to elaborate detail,
then the artists of

and their kings.
The early Greeks and Romans always
believed the cultured Phyrgian and Lydian
people to have been the inventors of em
broidery, the Roman word "phrygio"
meaning embroiderer. To this day the
women of this portion of Asia M'nor
embroider their head coverings, towels,
aprons and bodices in the Phrygian bands
of animals, rosettes, and birds so largely
borrowed by the Greeks and Ionians for
decorating their pottery. The pictures
on the Greek vases and the ornamental
Incisions on the draperies of Greek stat
ues show great diversity of design, how
ever, proving that this aesthetic nation
comprehended the restrictions and the
possibilities of the art of embroidery as
well as the other arts. Helen and Penel
ope's accomplishments in this line were
sung by the early poets, and upon a
Greek vase from Chinsi Penelope is de
pleted as ornamenting with richest nee
dlework one of the beautiful robes from
her loom. Many of the ancient so-called
tapestries have been recently proved to
be embroideries; for embroidery presup
poses a foundation, and these ancient fab
rics clearly show that the ornamentation
was stitched through the foundation in
stead of being woven Into its substance,
as is tapestry.
Embroideries were used primarily as
distinctive marks of a chief's costume, as
supplemental to religious ritual and as
ingenious lntensifiers of feminine charm.
These, results were obtained by the sim
plest machinery a needle and thread.
The primitive needle, regarded merely as
the sharp continuation of a pliable thread,
was made successively of thorn, fish
bone, wood, bone and ivory before the
present metal form was devised. The
primitive thread was undoubtedly wool.
The invention of flax fiber for linen has
been attributed to Isis, and is mentioned
among the vestments of the high priest
Aaron and his sons. At the same time
cotton from India was brought by cara
vans to Egypt and the neighboring coun
tries, but does not seem to have been
discovered by the Greeks until the time
of Alexander the Great, whose descrip
tions of the apparel of his conquered op
ponents, as made of "tree wool" or "wool
growing out of nuts," clearly have ref
erence to cotton. Although silk had "been
known since 1200 B. C, In China, where
It was called ""the divine thread," it
was the latest filament to come into Eu
rope and was scarcely known there before
the time of Julius Caesar. Long before
the introduction of silk embroidery, how
ever, sumptuous effects borrowed from

the Orient had been produced by the
lavish use of gold and silver threads,
which were made by cutting gold leaf
into narrow strips and winding it around
the ordinary embroidery thread. The
modem Japanese gain this effect very in
expensively by using gilt paper instead
of gold leaf. That this gold-embroidered
cloth especially commended Itself to the
barbaric taste of the primitive peoples Is
shown by Its frequent mention as the
ideal of richness, in the writings of Ho
mer, Ovid. Aeschylus, Virgil and Pliny.
David also extols it in the Forty-fifth
Psalm, where he says of the apparel of
the king's daughter: "Her clothing Is of
wrought sold. She shall be brought In to
the king in raiment of needlework."

chase for the couches surrounding his tri
clinium or three-sided banqueting table
covers of such wondrous Babylonian em
broidery that they cost about $35 000 of our
money, and rose so immoderately in value
that Nero was glad to purchase them for
25 times the original price. As the term
of each Emperor's reign became more
brief the court gave out peremptory com
missions of such increasing extravagance
that the shuttle, which in normal times
might have executed these orders, was
obliged to give way before the swifter
handiwork of the needle.
With such gorgeous patterns before
thfcm, native artificers were not slow to
draw their Inspiration from Oriental de
sign, soon producing handiwork which
compared favorably and in originality
even surpassed their models. The Byzan
tine court, shining with the borrowed
splendor of Asiatic opulence, soon out
dazzled Rome. While the pictorial ex
cellence of Byzantine embroidery was pe
culiarly appropriate for the draperies

and porches of cathedrals and palaces.
It gave to the articles of clothing
for which It was frequently used
stiffness instead of dignity, rigidity in
stead of suppleness. The sacred sceneo
so exquisitely depicted upon altar cloths
were manifestly out of place upon court
costumes. The Empress Theodora were
a cloak embroidered with the "Adora
tion of the Magi," and rich Senators
proudly displayed as many as 600 sacred
figures on their robes. It is easy to im
agine the delighted curiosity with which
the street urchins of Byzantium must
have followed such a garment, which, in
spite of its pictorial elucidation of the
miracles, must have been about as grace
ful as the advertising boards upon the
back of the modern itinerant. What won
der that a righteous bishop of the church
inveiged against those "who wore the
gospels upon their backs Instead of in
their hearts!"

devised an expedient for breaking up the
silkworm trust, the Chinese having en
joyed an unbroken monopoly of this in
dustry for nearly 20 centuries. To this
end he sent two itinerant Persian monks
into China, where they so cunningly evad
ed the vigilance of the natives that they
were able to bring home their hollow
staves filled with silkworm eggs. From
the rearing of the worms thus craftily
brought to Byzantium sprung the Eu
ropean silkworm industry.
During the seventh century the rise oi
Mussulman power brought a new sprrlt
into waning Byzantine elegance, and as a
result the resplendent costumes of the
caliphs soon beggared description. The
embroiderer's art then extended its prov
ince to the exquisite decoration of leather
woit-boots, saddles, harness, and scab
bards, as well as the swords and dag
gers which they covered, being lavishly
decorated by the needle-worker. So de
voted were the nomadic Arab chieftains
to beautiful hangings that tney Invariably
carried with them their superbly em
broidered tents, one of which the famous
Haroun-al-Raschld sent to Charlemagne
in S02.
The adornment of the Kaaba at Mecca
naturally brought forth the very best
handiwork of which the worshipers o
Mohammed were capable, and to the one
who could combine the rarest of tissues
with the richest workmanship was ac
corded the privilege ,of decorating the
prophet's tomb. At times the weight of
these votive offerings even threatened to
endanger the stability of the temple. To
this day it Is the custom annually to re
place the curtain, a highly ornamented
embroidery of texts from the Koran upon
the green ground sacred to the prophet
of Islam, by a new scroll brought from
Egypt upon the back of a consecrated
camel. The old curtain is then torn into
strips, which are distributed as relics to
the pilgrims.

A'onic Miner Who Wanted to Help
McKinley.
W. JJ. Cataline, formerly a Portland
photographer, returned from Nome yes
terday, after having been absent from
the city since May. He took up a big
tent and photographer's outfit with him,
which he sold in Nome after having made
considerable money selling views of the
vicinity, so he Is one of the few who
come back ahead on the venture. He
says lie sold pictures at ?1 each as fast
as he could develop them at first, and
after that sold them uncarded at 7o cents,
so If the boom had lasted all Summer
Instead of only three weeks, he would
nave made quite a fortune.
He did pot try his hand at mining be
cause the beach -was dug over and the
country for 50 miles away staked out be

Chicago Murder Mystery.
CHICAGO, Oct. 1. A silver tooth-plate,
to which two false-Incisors of the upper
jaw were wired, Is the only clew to the
Identity of the severed human head that
was found tied in a "grain sack in Cedar
Lake, just across the Indiana state line.
Identification of the victim of the sup
posed murderer by means of the head is
absolutely impossible, so far as recog
nizing the features are concerned, be
cause the head was packed In quick
lime before being thrown Into the lake,
and the features were destroyed by the
action of the chemical. The only hope of
getting a clew to the mystery Is that the
dentistry work may be recognized by
some dentist. The head bids fair to fur
nish a murder mystery as famous as the
Guldensuppe case in New York.
Southern Pacific's Presidency.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1. The head

return from a three weks' trip to the
East. Stubbs also said that the work
that C. P. Huntington had done would- be
split up between the chairman of the
board of directors in New York and the
president, with his office here. Chairman
Tweed will continue to manage the finan
cial business of the company and the
new president will handle the adminis
trative affairs. Mr. Stubbs said he did
not expect a president to be selected for
some time.

USE OF FOREST RESERVES
WASHINGTON STOCKMEN CONFER
WITH COMMISSIONER HERMANN.
Continuation of Grazing: Permits and
Protection Front Tramp Herd
era Most Desired.
TACOMA, Oct. 1. A delegation of men
Interested In the Btock Industry, were in
conference with Commissioner Hermann
today, relative to the use of the forest
reserves for grazing purposes. Among the
sheep and cattle men who met Mr. Her
mann were the following: John Clemans,
W. H. McCrea, Samuel Cameron, Daniel
Sinclair, A. G. Splawn, P. A. Bounds, Dr.
G. J. Hill, all of the Yakima district In
Eastern Washington. There were present
amqng those interested in the sheep and
cattle industry, also, the Hon. Ira P.
Inglehart and Dr. G. J. 'Hill, of North
Yakima. Mr. Inglehart was a member
of the last Legislature and Dr. Hill is
chairman of the Republican Committee
of Yiklman County. Mr. William Rey
nolds, of Buckley, was also present, rep
resenting the mining Interests of the Mt.
Rainier district.
The meeting was held In the gentlemen's
parlor of the Tacoma Hotel and was
called to order by United States Senator
Foster, who stated that, In addition to
the representations made by the Wash
ington State Congressional delegation to
the Interior Department and to the Com
missioner of the General Land Office, it
was desirable to have the cattle and
sheep men discuss the situation regarding
grazing permits personally with Mt. Her
mann. Policy of the Department.
Commissioner Hermann stated that he
was very glad of the opportunity to meet
the cattle and sheep men, and referred In
flattering terms to the work of Senator
Foster and the Washington Congressmen,
Cushman and Jones, In representing their
Interests in his department. He said that
primarily the object of the forestry di
vision of the United States was the con
servation of the water flow and the pres
ervation of the forest growth. In the
State of Washlnlgton the department felt
that the great rainfall tended to preserve
the forests to a greater extent than In the
drier sections, and that the policy as re
gards 'the Coast was more liberal than
that applied to New Mexico, Arizona, and
other states. He referred to the fact that
the forest area of the United States now
amounted to 46,000,000 acres, and that ap
plications were on, file to Increase the re
serve by 100,000,000 acres. These petitions
were being considered in their order with
a view to Increasing the forest area of
the United States.
Whenever the department saw that the
grazing of cattle or sheep on the forest
reserves tended to decrease the value of
the timber growth, the policy has been to
prohibit such grazing. .In the past In the
State of Washington, as in other states,
It was found that the grazing privileges
resulted In injury to' the forests largely
through the setting of forest fires, and
one 'of the best evidences of the success
ful work of the department In exercising
control of the forest areas, was the fact
that very few, if any, forest fires had
broken out this season In areas under the
jurisdiction of the" department. One no
table, .exception was In Southern Cali
fornia, where considerable damage had
been done.
Forest Supervisor McCoy, of the Mt.
Rainier reserve, then stated that there
had been no fires on his reserve during
his occupancy resulting from the grazing
of sheep and cattle. Fires now and then
occurred because of camp fires built by
tourists and Indians, but no material
damage had resulted.
The Commissioner referred to Mr. Mc
Coy's statement as evidence of the suc
cess of the department In preventing for
est fires, and also to the fact that this
Fall the atmosphere was clear and In
most instances free from the dense smoke
that resulted In' years past from the de
structive fires In the forests of the Pacific
Northwest. Heretofore, at this season,
he stated, the great sisterhood of snow
capped mountains on this part of the
Coast were entirely covered from view by
smoke. At present Mt. Hood, Mt. St.
Helens and other mountains of the Coast
stood out visible in all their beauty.
Continuation of Permits.
Mr. Inglehart opened the case on be
half of the cattle and sheep men. They
desired to secure some definite assurance
regarding the continuation of the permit
system now In vogue. He stated that the
cattle and sheep men present represented
the Industry In the state. Mr. Clemens,
who is a very, prominent woolgrower,
stated that the great apprehension felt
among the sheep and woolralsers of the
state was caused by the fact that there
was no certainty as to the continuation
of their permits. The Commissioner as
sured him that new permits would have
to be granted each year, and that In cases
where privileges had been violated It was
the intention of the department to refuse
to grant permits. Mr. Clemens was very
anxious to secure some definite statement
which would show that the Government
proposed to summarily punish tramp
sheep men for going upon areas reserved
for others. This seemed to be the most
Important point discussed, and was under
consideration for fully an hour. The
Commissioner stated finally that, while
the department approved of a plan of is
suing permits whereby certain areas
could be set aside for certain sheep men,
such areas to be agreed upon by the
sheep men themselves, still as the matter
now stood the department was not pre
pared to go Into the question of deciding
tho rights and equities of contestants or
sheep men who did not feel bound to abide
by the decision mutually arrived at by
the woolgrowers of the state. As regards
cattle, he said that the department dla
not feel warranted In prescribing certain
areas for certain bands of stock, because
it was felt that the cattle might move
about from place to place. The nub of
the discussion, however, seemed to center
on the Importance of a mutual agree
ment among the sheep and cattle men
assigning among themselves certain
areas, each to respect the boundaries of
his permit. Without the establishment of
a court to pass on the various claims of
contending cattle men, the Commissioner
did not feel that the Government could
take up the question of protecting the
cattle and sheep men in their permit
privileges.
Forests Not to Be Jeopardised.
The Commissioner added that the Gov
ernment expected the cattle and sheep
men to graze upon the areas within the
reserve just as they always had; that Is,
where grazing is permitted at all. It,
howeyer, did not propose to allow graz
ing where injury was done to the forest
growth, and if it resulted that the per
mits granted in the State of Washington
were an -injury to the forests or Jeopard
ized the conservation of the water flow,
the permits would be refused In the fu
ture. The cattle and sheep men, on their
part, expressed a desire and willingness
to protect the forests as far as possible,
and tq assign to certain areas a limited
number of cattle and sheep in order that
no injury might result. .The cattle and
sheep Interests seemed very desirous of
securing the enactment of a law that
would result in the arrest and punish
ment of any offender, either In setting
flres or in going beyond the permits
granted by the Superintendent of Forest
Reserves. The Commissioner stated that
the department was ready to recommend
.such a measure, and In connection with
tho proposed charges to be made for
grazing privileges, he said that while
there was" an undercurrent against leas
ing forest areas, still, as a business prop
osition, he felt it was warranted. He
considered this a very delicate question,
and said that the department had ap
proached it with considerable caution.
"Mrr Inglehart added that the tramp
sheepmen were growing less In number
each year, and that they would probably
tuuoo vti iiLiiu tiuuuie m me xuiure. I
While the Commissioner admitted that at
.present there was no law warranting the
summary arrest and punishment of those
who disregarded the rules and regulations
of the department and the mutual agreet
ments arrived, at between the sheep and
cattlemen, still he was ready to recom
mend that the forest rangers be clothed
with power to arrest the offenders and
bring them before the United States
Court.
Rangers MuBt Unite.
As the matter now stands, the sheep
and cattlemen will have to get together
next Spring and decide among themselves
where certain bands are to be assigned,
and, after making such assignments, the
Superintendent of Forest Reserves will
take up the question of reissuing permits.
In the meantime, however, laws may be
enacted by Congress providing for the
leasing of areas within the forest reserves
and also providing that the forest rang
ers shall act as Deputy United States
Marshals in enforcing the rules and reg
ulations of the department.
The cattlemen were Invited in a body to
attend the Republican meeting at the Ly
ceum Theater tonight and occupy boxes
reserved for them. The only Democrat or
Fuslonlst among the stockmen present
was Mr. Splawn, who Is a candidate for
the Legislature on the Fusion ticket. The
stockmen frankly admitted that the
price of sheep has gradually advanced
under the present Administration, and
that the price of wool had increased in
a corresponding degree.
LAST DAY OF SUMPTER RACES.
Proved to Be the Most Interesting: of
the Season.
SUMPTER. Or., Oct. L The fifth and
last day of the races in this city proved
to be the most Interesting of the season.
A large crowd was in attendance and
the races were not by any means of the
walk-over order.
The first race was a mile noveltv race,
with Baby Ruth, Chub and Co-co Tempo
starting; purse, $200, $50 fpr each quar
ter, 75 per cent to winner and 25 per
cent to the second horse. Chub won
the first quarter, Baby Ruth the half,
with Co-co Tempo second. The three
quarters was won by Baby Ruth, with
Co-co Tempo second, and the race was
won by Co-co Tempo, with Baby Ruth
second. Time, two minutes flat. It was
a race from start to finish, and there is
no doubt but that the best horse won.
Second race, special 300-yard dash; purse,
$75, 75 per cent to winner and 25 per cent
to second. Three horses started Hum
ming Bird, Gold Bug and Garvey. Hum
ming Bird started off favorite, but the
odds afterward were placed on Garvey.
Betting was . very heavy on this race.
Garvey won; time, 15 seconds.
Third race, half-mile heats, two best in
three; purse, $10, 75 per cent to winner
and 25 per cent to second. Richmond.
Pendleton, Butte and Co-co Tempo were
starters. Pendleton had heretofore been
behaving very badly and three Ineffec
tual efforts had been made to start him.
However, he got off well In this race,
both heats, winning the first in 53 sec
onds and the second and the race In
53 seconds flat.
PUBLIC DEBT STATEMENT.

The skin is the seat of an almost end
less variety cf diseases. They are known
by various names, trat ae all due to the
same cause, acid and other poisons is
the blood that irritate and interfere with
the proper actios of the skin.
) To have a smooth, soft skin, free from
all eruptions, the blood must be kept pare
and healthy. The many preparations of
arsenic and potash and the large number
of face powders and lotions generally
used in this class of diseases cover up
for a short time, but cannot remove per
manently the ugly blotches and the red,
disfiguring pimples.

She is now seventeen years old. and not a sign ot

HAS NO COMPETITOR.
One Patent Medicine "Which. Has the
Field to Itself.
A prominent physician was recently
asked why it was there are so many
"blood purifiers," "nerve tonics" and med
icines for every ill except one of the
most common and annoying diseases, viz.,
piles.
He replied there are two principal rea
sons: First, physicians and people In
general have thought for years that tho
only permanent cure for piles was a sur
gical operation, and that medicinal prep
arations were simply pallatlves and not
a euro for the trouble.
Another reason Is that piles, unlike
many other diseases, is In no sense an
imaginary trouble. A sufferer from plies
is very much aware of the fact, and for
this reason the few pile salves and oint
ments, etc., have been short-lived, be
cause the patient very soon discovcreo
their worthlessness.
He continues: However, there Is a new
pile! remedy which. Judging- from its
popularity and extent of its sale, will
soon take the place of all other treatment
for plies. It has certainly made thou
sands of cures in this obstinate disease,
and Its merit, repeatedly tested, has
made It famous among physicians and
wherever Introduced. The remedy Is sold
by druggists everywhere under name ot
Pyramid Pile Cure.
It is in convenient, suppository form,
composed of harmless astringents and
healing oils, gives Immediate relief in all
forms of plies and a radical cure without
resort to the knife and without pain or
Interference with dally occupation.
One strong recommendation for the
remedy Is that it contains no cocaine nor ;
opium, and is absolutely safe to use at
any time.
One of the suppositories is applied at
night, is absorbed, and the cure is nat
ural and painless.
It permanently cures itching, bleeding
or protruding" piles, and Is the only rem
edy except a dangerous surgical opera
tion that will do so.
All druggists sell a complete treatment
of the suppositories for 50 cents, and the
Pyramid Drug Company, of Marshall,
Mich., will mall free to any address ag
little book on cause and .cure of piles."
