Better than Books.
The celebrated Bayeux tapestry which depicts the scenes of the Norman Conquest of England is a band of coarse, homespun linen, 226 't long- and one and a half feet broad. It was embroidered with twisted threads by Queen Matilda and her maidens, and has preserved for ub the customs and niauuers of a far-off age as no written deßcription could have done. There are 520 figures in this historic panorama, only three of whioh are of women.
