The German steamer Verona, now being | fitted out as a transport to carry horson; to China, had a peculiar experience while in Nagasaki. During an elfctrical storm a flash of lightning struck the foremast and cut it off as clean as a knife would have done just below the second band.

The art of lace making was introduced into Ireland during the middle of the | eighteenth century by a Jesuit who brought thither a piece of Venetian lace as a pattern. On this account much of the needlepoint lace dome in _convent schools is known as “Jesuit lace.” In 1846 special efforts were made to encourage the spread of lace making as a means of support to the famine stricken populace. Applique, Limerick lace, Irish tatting and | Cork crochet lace, known as point d'Ir- | lande, have heen brought to this country, but the most popular of all 1s the Irish | raised needlepoint. Skill in embroidery having sunk within the last two centuries to the level of a | mere accomplishment, it requires some ef- fort for us to realize its former -undis- puted prominence among the fine arts. When there was no competition with ma- chinery, and' individual art, protected by royal patronage, was supplied with abund- | ance of time and the richest materials | with which to develop originality and fo | elaborate detail, then the artists of the | needle were not unworthy compeers of the | | more generally recognized artists of the chisel and the brush. Embroidered mummy cloths preserved by Egyptian piety from crumbling to | dust prove to us how ancient is this art, even older than pattern weaving. Pas- | sages In the Scripture are also numerous in proof that methods of embroidery were | well known to the early Jews, who used | | this form of decoration for the veil of the | temple, the adornment of their high priests’and their kings. | The early Greeks and Romans always | belleved the cultured Phrygian and| | THE ART OF EMBROIDERY AND LACE MAKING.

L 4 Lydian people to have been the inventors of embroidery, the Roman word “phrygio” meaning embroldérer. To this day the women of this portion of Asia Minor em- | broider their head coverings, towels, aprons and bodices in the Phrygian bands of animals, rosettes and birds so largely borrowed by the Greeks and lonians for decorating their pottery. The pictures on | Greek vases and the ornamental incisions | on the draperies of Greek statues show | great diversity of design, however, prov- ing that this esthetic nation comprehend- ed the restrictions and the possibilities of the art of embroidery as well as the other arts. Helen and Penelope’'s accomplish- ments in this line were sung by the early poets, and upon a Greek vase from Chinsi Penelope is depicted as ornamenting with richest needlework one of the beautiful robes. from her loom. Many of the an- clent so-called tapestries have been re- cently proved to be embroideries; for em- brofdery presupposes .a foundation, and these ancient fabrics clearly show that the ornamentation was stitched through the foundation instead 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 intensifiers of feminine charm. These results were obtained by the simpl- est machinery a needle and thgead. The primitive needle, regarded merely as the sharp continuafion of a pliable thread, | was made successively of thorm, fishbone, wood, bone and ivory before the present metal form was devised. The primitive thread was undoubtedly wool. The inven- tion of flax fiber for linen has been at- tributed to Isis, and is :nentioned among the vestments of the hish priest Aaron and his sons. At the same time cotton from India was brought by caravans to Egypt and the néighboring countries, but does not seem to have been discovered by the Greeks untfl ‘the time of Alexander the Great, whose descriptions of the ap- parel of his conquered opponents as made of “tree wool” or “weol grcwing out of nuts” clearly have refersnce.

What wonder that a righteou. Bishop of the church inveighed s those “who wore the sospels u backs instead of in their hearts! About this time the Emperor Justinian devised an expedient for breaking up the silkworm trust, the Chinese having en- joyed an unbroken monopoly of this in- dustry for nearly twenty centuries. To this end he sent two itlnerant Persian monks into China, wh they so cunning- ly evaded the vigila ot the natives that they were able to b low staves filled with silkworm eggs. From the rearing of the worms thus craftily brought to Byzantium sprung the European silkworm industry. During the seventh century the rise of Mussulman power brought a new spirit 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 work—boots, saddles, harness and scah- bards, as well as the swords and daggers, which they covered, being lavishly dec- orated by the needleworker. So devoted were the nomadic Arab chieftains to beautiful hangings that they invariabl carried with them their superbly embr dered tents, one of which the famous :'Iaggxl'm-n.(-Raschld sent to Charlemagn- n The adornment of the Kaaba at Mecea naturally brought forth the very best handiwork of which the worshipers of 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 tho prophet’s tomb.

The old curtain is then torn into strips. which are distributed as relics to the pilgrims. Note—This study will be concluded to- morrow.
