A PROSE POEM
Sung by Representative Lamar of Mis-1
souri io Congress.
'Commoner readers may be interested
iu the following extract from a :
speech delivered by Representative!
/Robert Lamar of Missouri in the!
iiouse of representatives:
' 1 have read of the wonders of the j
ancient world, the hanging gardens '
of Babvlon, which Nebuchadnezzar j
reared in graceful terraces high
above the brazen gates of the city to
remind his Median wife of her mountain
home, and I have read in the
Odyssey of that land of delight, the
* island of the lotus-eaters, of yhich
Tennyson draws this beautiful picture:
"How sweet it were, hearing the
downward stream, with half-shut
eyes, to ever seem, falling asleep in
a half dream:"
"But certa'uly the garden spot of
the modern world is in the Mississippi
vjillev. with its sun-kissed moun
r i j ?
taius and broad rolling prairies. The
paradise of the twentieth century
civilization, there is our magnificent
fertile aud majestic Missouri, with
her blue sky, her pellucid streams,
her balmy air, her gorgeous sunsets
and her everlasting hills. We may
visit the famed galleries of the world I
and feast our aesthetic tastes upou
the masterpieces of Raphael, Rembrandt
and Aogelo, Reynolds aud
Vandyke, but no painter's brush has
01 ever can produce on canvas half i
the glory and majesty and sublimity
of an antumu sunset in the Ozark
hills, with the golden sunlight gilding
the tree tops and throwing over
and about the variegated foliage its
soft and mellow radiance. (Applause.)
"lleethoveu and Mozart, Mendelssohn
and Handel and Wagner, have
poured forth a flood of melody and
hirniony which will delight the ears
of mankind while civilization lasts,
but it cau never inspire that feeling
of bonyancy and exhilaration, that
bubbling joy and gladness, which is
felt by the barefoot boy as he listens
to the morning song of the mocking-1
bird, the robin and the lark as they
flit from limb to limb, while the
unlight glistens on the dew and thevery
air he breathes is full of life
and gladuess.'" (Applause)?The
Commoner.
THE PERItGrWAY.
Scores of Kingstree Citizens Have
Learned it.
'if you suffer from backache,
There is only one way to cure it.
fhe perfect way is to cure the
a i u u ev s.
A bad back means sick kidneys.
Neglect it, urinary troubles follow.
Doun's Kidney Pills are made for
kidneys only.
C L McElveen, living on S.
Church St., Manning, S: C., says:,
"Doan's Kidney Pills in my case
proved to be the best kidney remedy
I ever used. My kidneys were too
frevuent in action, and caused me
arise frequently during the night.
The secretions also contains a brick
dust sediment if allowed to stand. 1
suffered severely from backaches
and had pains through my loins. At:
times niv back became so lame that!
it hurt me severely to stoop or lift I
anything. I did not rest well at J
night, owing to the aches and paius.'
I tin ally read about Doan's Kidney |
Pills, procured them ami they acted:
just as represented. Since I used J
them the backaches have not troub- j
led me, the lamene.s has vanished i
\ and I do not have to arise duiing !
the night. I can highly recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills from the benetit
I derived from tbeir use."

GOBBLIN TAPESTRY.
How It Is Woven and the Materu
That Are Used.
The warp or foundation of t'Gobelin
tapestry is formed of a s
ries of stout woolen threads, which
j are ft retched upon the loom and are
j fixed in place. The weaver then ap[
plies the wool, which consists of col'
ored threads forming the pattern,
i Two kinds of tapestry were former
j lv made. Jn the haute lisse tapestry
; the warp was stretched vertically
! upon the loom, while in the basse
i lisse it was placed horizontally. At
, present only the haute lisse is made
I at the Gobelin works. Some of the
looms for this kind of tapestry date
from the tiane of Louis XIV., but
have been so?aewhat improved in
more recewt times. This type of
loom oensiats of tw? horizontal cylinders
pJaeed about ten feet apa--'and
hajd in two uprights for
a' frame, llie cylinders are n
ed at tike ends in trunnions,
work in wooden 6oekets so
cylinders ean turn J*
bearing slides up a n a
grooveja the fuaa.t roller
is turned abeut by rat a lever.
As to length, the looms vary from
twelve to IWCUIJT-HIICC icci,
ing to the siee of the tapestry which
is to be woven. Sometimes several
pieces of ?arrow tapestry can be
woven upon a single loom of th<;
larger type. >
When mounting the work upon
{he loom the weaver first sets up
tne wafp of vertical threads, and
each thread is given an extra length
of about five feet in excess of the
desired length of the tapestry. The
threads are stretched on the rollers,
putting the extra length on the upper
roller. The threads of the warp
are equally spaced, the standard
spacing allowing about twenty-five
threads to the inch. The tension
upon each of the threads is about
6even pounds, which holds them
well in nlace. When the warn has
--a r- ; ?. ?
been laid out the weaver passes ?
one inch glas6 tube between the
threads 60 a^to separate the uneven
numtared iireads on the outside
and tlie even threads on the inside.
The rwTis placed about two feet
above the working point. To carry
out the weaving process, the weaver
takes hts piace at the back of the
loom with the original design in
colors placed behind him. He repeats
the design by making a tracing
in ink upon the threads ofjjie
warp, but this is only to give him
the principal points gi the design,
and the weaver must be a veritaule
) artist in ordjj to copy faithfully the
j painted cartoon upon the canvas.
| He is provided with a great number
I of spools or shuttles, each eontainI
ing a different colored thread. As
' the work progresses the finished
part of the tapestry is rolled upon
the lower cylinder. In weaving the
larger pieces the worker is almost
| entirely concealed from view.
In all the tapestry of the ancient
period the warp consists of woolen
threads, and this seems to he the
l-est, for other kinds of thread have
been tried without much success,

'>. >? the wool, a - it \#as claimed

That languid, lifeless feeling that
comes with spring and early sum-1
mer, can be quickly chauged to a
feeling of buoyancy and energy by
the judicious use of Dr Shoop's Restorative.
The Restorative is a
genuine tonic to tired, rundown;
! nerves.and but a fewdoses are needed i
to satisfy the user that Dr Shoop's
! Restorative is actually reaching that
J tired spot. The indoor life of winter
nearly always leads to sluggish
bowels, and to sluggish circulation
in general. The customary lack of
, exercise and outdoor air ties up the
; liver, stagnates the kidneys, and oft- i
times weakens the Heart's action. I
i Use Dr Shoop's Restorative a few j '
! weeks and all will be changed. A ,
few days test will tell you that vou
i are using the right remedy. You
will easily and surely note the
chang efrom day to day. Sold by :
