BULLION EMBROIDERY. Silver and Gold Woven by Girls for Military and Other Uniforms. New .York Times. Bullion embroidery Is one of the small seml-artlstlc trades that are still partly carried on in unpretentious fashion chief ly by foreign-born residents of New York. The old French quarter, now in Oregon Pioneer of 1846, Who Died in Douglas County. the hands of the Italians, used to he tha chief seat of this trade. With rho hmnir. up of the quarter the bullion embroiderers jeit tne region to find other sites for tneir Business. Most of the bullion em broiderers are women. The head nf n small shop Is usually . a middle-aged rrenenwoman. tier employes are six or eigm gins, mostly or foreign parentage, often themselves of foreign birth. Tho shop is usually a good-sized upper room in a small house. The room Is reached by the main stairway of the house. Be low is a shop of some other kind and above perhaps are lodsrlncs. Hanc-lne- ho. side the street door there is almost In variably a frame containing- snmnioa f the bullion embroiderers' art spread eagles in sliver and gold, gorgeous badges, bits of gold and silver braid, olive leaves in silver, lettering for DolIcompn an messengers' caps, and the like. A little sign somewnere on the house gives the name and occupation of the proprietress. , When you look Into the sunny room where the bullion embroidering goes on you find' the girls bending over little wooden frames on which is stretched the material to carry the embroldon.-. Tho proprietress has outlined the design on me ground material, and Is perhaps di recting the newest anDrentlce In Vmr. work. Sometimes a little French song ac companies tne juDors or tne day, or per haps the girls laueh and trnsKln tr,av busy fingers fly the wirv threnfl t, scene Is a pleasant one, for there is no eiaoorate machinery, and th a-nrir ic such as a lady might do for pastime in her own boudoir. The workers ran t. age from 15 to perhaps 25, with here and mere an omer one who has not been re leased from professional toll by matri mony. Clever girls quickly become skillful nt bullion embroidery, and are able to earn fair wages. The best of them learn the art of drawing the designs, and here and there one is able to invent designs of her own. J? or the most part, however, the same designs are reDcated year, or new designs are furnished by the customers, in any case, somebody in the shop must be able to copy a design ort the groundwork of the embroidery. Bullion embroidery Is not all of the ma terial that Its name implies. In fact, very little of it is either gold or silver, though much of It is of a baser substance washed with one or the other of the precious metals. Fresh from the faetorv n tr comes to the hands of the embroiderers, it is oeautirully brilliant and thr now embroidery glitters In splendid fashinn. but only the best of It retains its sheen more than a few months. The. mhmf. derers Instruct customers as to the best method of brlghtenlnc the wares hnt much of such work is made to last only for a short season. Here as elsonrhoro the demand for cheapness has brought about the use of substitutes for the real thing. Part of the work of the small emhrni. dery shops7 comes to them from private customers, dul more or it perhaps from dealers who undertake to furnish en oh material to . all comers. The embroider ers have to work cheaply for theshops, and the final purchaser pays a large mid dleman's Drofit. On the whole, hnwpwr bullion embroidery is a good trade for a woman, for it Is less subject to Injury from the fluctuations of fashion than feather curlinir and some other traces immediately dependent upon the milliner. ,xne constant increase m the number of Americans wearing military and other THOMAS SHRUM.

It was about 10:30 P. M. Two men. who had been accumulating a thirst, dropped Into - a dowritowji cafe connected with a. well-known hotel In Broadway for the purpose of attending to It The place was cheerful, well lighted and fairly well filled with ..people, who sipped various beverages and appeared to enjoy themselves. Off in one corner some really superior music was being turned out by an orchestra of four university students, apparently all nice-looking young men. wearing evening clothes, fraternity pins ana a general well-bred air. There were two or three vacant tables, and the two men made their way over to one ol them near the musicians. One was a mufnc lover, and as he sat down he ex pressed his. opinion that "things seemed to oe ahout right" A waiter approached bearing viands and drinks, .and of him they demanded two Scotch high balls. He looked embarrassed and disappeared thoughtfully. They waited some little time, but ho dfd not return. They hailed another waiter hurrying by, and of him also they ordered nigh balls. Shortly afterward he drew near and asked If they were "going to or der anything." "We have ordered' said the music lover. We ordered a couple of high halls " "No." said the waiter, "I mean some thing to eat." "We don't want anything to eat," said tne other man. "Then you'll have to see'.the manager," replied the waiter, and he 'walked off. The two men looked' at each other and wondered why they had to see,,-the man ager In order to get a drink, -and what the proposition as to eating had to do with it Presently the manager ' appeared and in quired in a rather condescending- way what was wanted. The previous events were explained to him. to all of which, he listened in the same condescending way and in reply de livered -himself In about the following lan guage: "This Is the time of the evening when we naturally expect the theater crowds, and we can't afford to have persons oc cupy tables who don't order anything but drinks. We have got to have theso tables kept for persons wiio come In here and order supper. There Is nothing In serving drinks," etc. At the end of his speech the two men got up and went out. They were too sur prised and disgusted to -think of doing anything else; but once' on the street the more explosive of the two ave vent to a fierce desire to get even. "I'd like to even things up 'myself," said the other, "but I'm for finding out how the law Is. Let us now find out" They went a little further down the street to a' restaurant where both were well known and laid the case before the proprietor. Having secured a few satis factory tips they returned' to the scene of their discomfiture and were lucky enough- to find a table vacant. Much the same proceedings were had as before, finally terminating with the ap pearance of the manager. He looked a little surprised as ho remembered them instantly, but waited for developments. We have ordered a couple of high balls," began the spokesman In oily ac cents, "and we would like to know if they are going to be served." "I told you a few minutes ago" began the manager. "I remember perfectly what you told me, but I care nothing about It Wo want those high balls. "Since seeing you last . we have taken expert counsel ontthe subject of the lia bility of hotel-keepers, and we are .here to contest the matter with you to a fin ish- Now you bring those high balls! If you don't we will stay where we are and occupy this valuable table of yours till you wish you had. If you attempt to eject us, we will bring suit for assault "If you decline to serve us we will bring suit against yau, and we will come down here night after night and go through the same performance, and bring our friends' to do the same, and we will bring suit every time and recover $200 damages every time. Do you fQllow me? Now, how about it?" "You can't stay here and" said the manager, but he looked ready to quit. "Hush," interrupted the thirsty one. NOT DUE TO CLIMATE. Catarrh In Found Everywhere. Catarrh Is at home anywhere and every where. While more common In cold, changeable climates, It is by no means confined to them, but is prevalent .in every state and territory in the Union. The common definition of catarrh is a chronic cold in the head, which, if long neglected, often destroys the sense of smell and hearing: but there are many other forms of the disease even more' ob stinate and dangerous. Catarrh of the throat and bronchial tubes, as well as catarrh of the stomach and liver, are almost as common as nasal catarrh, and generally more difficult to cure. , Catarrh Is undoubtedly a blood disease, and can only be successfully eradicated by an internal treatment. Sprays, washes and powders are useless as far as reach ing the real seat df the disease Is con cerned. Dr. Mclverney advises catarrh suffer ers to use a new preparation, sold by druggists, called Stuart's Catarrh Tab lets, because actual analysis has shown these tablets to contain certain antiseptic qualities of the highest value, and being an internal remedy, pleasant to the taste, convenient and harmless, can bo used as freely as required, as well for children as for adults. An attorney and public speaker who had been a catarrh sufferer for years says: "Every Fall I would catch a cold which would settle In my head and throat and hang on all Winter long, and every Win ter it seemed to get a little worse. I was continually clearing my throat, and my voice became affected to such an extent as to Interfere with my public speaking. "I tried troches and cheap cough cures, and sometimes got relief, but only for a short time, until this Winter, when I learned of the new catarrh cure, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, through a newspaper ad vertisement Two . 50-cent boxes which I bought at" my druggist's cleared my head and throat in fine shape, and to guard against a return of my old trouble I keep a box of the tablets on hand, and when ever I catch a little cold I take a tablet or two and ward off any serious develop ments." Stuart's Catarrh Tablets deserve to head the list as a household remedy to check and .break up coughs and colds, because, unlike many other catarrh and cough cures, these tablets contain no opiate, cocaine or any Injurious drug. breaks up Colds and cures the am'l Rosenblatt & Co.
