; * Pease te seo E is re pass e3 ARE MADE BY HAN * fs 7 as ' eS a, : pe 'AND ASIA MINOR. to. Introduce Power Looms Not 'a Suceeiss--Carried to Coapt E. L. Harris, United States Consul at Smyrna, has made a report on the "manufacture of carpets in Persia and Asia Minor. Nearly all is done. by hand, he says, and he continues: "The carpet industry flourishes as. er before in both Persia and Asia' 'Minor. The market value of the. car- ets may be the same in the two coun- tries, yet a great difference exists in the way they are made, This applies not alone to the various shapes and ines, but to the grouping of forms and - eolors as well, which enables even one 'unskilled in the business to distingu- h between the make of Smyrna and dhat of Tabriz. The article which is gcld in the world's markels as the cele- rated Smyrna carpet is not made in Smyrna; it is a product of the vilayet of Aidin, of which Smyrna is the ca- -- pital, MANUFACTURNG CENTRES. _ "The chief places of manufacture are the villages of Uschak, Koule, Ghiardis, Makri, Melessos, Kirkagatsch, Axar, and Demirdji, The production of carpets in Asia Minor is essentially a house in- dustry, and the natives are exceedingly Skillful in their handiwork. | "The industry gives employment and 'a livelihood to thousands f needy | people, especially women," who aro Qbliged to do the work almost entirely, 'whtt{he men spend their time in the 'coffee hotses drinking strong. coffee and smoking numberless cigarettes, all jan true Oriental fashion, Little girls jare compelled to take up the work learly, at ? or 10 years of age at the 'latest, and they keep at it unceasingly 'until they go to their graves. | "Some efforts have been reoently jmade to introduce the carpet factory aes into Smyrna, which has been 'attended with indifferent success. Labor is dearer in Smyrna than it ds in the 'country districts, and the girls and wo- imen must pay more for food and lodg- jing in this city than in the country vil- 'Jages. Many claim that the work done on the looms at Smyrna is more exact in measurement and neater in appear- lance, for the reason that the manufac- jturer or merchant is able to superin- jlend the operations at any time of the | day, thus preventing mistakes which might prove fatal to some beautiful design. _The looms set up in Smyrna 'and operated by some sixty girls, num- ber twenty. On the whole, the experi- ment does not seem to be a success, and the number is not increasing. PRICES OF GOODS. "Uschak carpets are made in two styles, They are made either of spun 'wool or long wool, those of the former costing from 98 cents to $1.63 per Square yard, the latter $2.45 to $4.90, according to the design and color and the size of the carpet. The web and the wool of the Uschak carpets are made of the wool of the fat-tailed sheep. The men wash this woo] in the rivers and the women comb and twist it soft- \ly In such a way as to allow the threads of different colors to lightly blend on the edges in the same way as the differ- ent tones on a picture. | "The market for the wools which have been thus spun and colored ready 'for the carpet weavers is held every Thursday from dawn to sunset in the bazaar of Uschak, which is then filled | with purchasers who have arrived on |buffaloes, camels, donkeys, and other {picturesque beasts of burden. The spun lwools are not dyed by the weavers 'themselves, but by special dyers. "For a short time artificial dyes were used, bul their use was soon abanddon- ed in favor of the better taste displayed by the amateurs of Oriental carpets 'who desired the ancient models and 'eclors, thus reviving the use of vege- lable colors extracted from madder, 'yellow berry, and valonia, and other products of the country, and from in- digo brought hence by caravans. WEAVING METHODS AND WAGES. "More than 3,000 female weavers are employed at Uschak in the preparation of carpels. The looms are set up in about 1,000 houses. The operators in each housé are generally members of 'the same family, but there are @ num- ber of girls who earn about 6 or 7 cents a day. The Ghiardis carpets are _generally smaller than those of Uschak. Very fine prayer carpets, closely woven ond of ha rmonious colors, are produced 'iu imitation of the Pensian carpets. The dimensions of these carpels average 5 to 7 feet by 3 feet 10 inches. The weav- ers of Koule and Ghiradis' use-wool of a superior quality to that of the Uschak weavers for the woof, while the web is made of hemp. Large carpets as well as prayer rugs are made in Koule, "In the village of Demirdji the car- no! industry was for some time neg- nen but ancient Oriental models hav- ing again come into fashion, the in- dustry has improved, and the district now produces a very fine carpet, thick and closely woven, soft and very strong. The web, like that of the Persian and Ghiardis article, is of cotton. WORTH $1,000,000 A YEAR, "It Is estimated that the é three cen- ~ 4dres of carpet manufacture of Ghiardis, Kouwle and Demirdji produce more car- pets than the Uschak centre, Their prices are algo a little higher, for they sell at nol less than $3.26 to $4.90 the - square yard, the superior qualities at ~ from $9.78 to $16.30 per yard, and for certain old carpels which have become very rare the prices are 'exorbitant. "The annual production of these car- pets is estimated at 440,484 square yards, worth $1,347,960, : gkins, hill, "The carpets are made into bales of 280 pounds each and covered with goat The caravans pass the night in the open country at the foot of some the drivers under tents and the 1) : 'in Smyrna they are Very large carpets, too heavy to be packed, are folded and thrown across the backs of the camels inthe form of a covering.

A Mere Lad Was the Means of Saving the Indian Empire. "Not all the courage of war is expend- ed on the battlefield. A man died late- ly in Calculla who performed a deed which contributed greatly to save the Indian Empire. At that time, in 1857, he was a mere lad, employed as an assistant in the telegraph service, His name was W. Brendish, and he sent, at the risk of his life, a despatch from Delhi to Umballa, which bore the first news of the outbreak. This message, repeated to every town which could be reached, proved of priceless value, Col. Edward Vfbart, in his "Sepoy Mutiny, tells the story of how, to quote the ju- diciabh commissioner of the Punjab, the electric telegraph saved India,' It was the custom to close the tele- graph offices on Sunday belween the heurs of nine and four. On May 10, as the operator at "Delhi was about to élose his station, he received a message from the Meerut office announcing an uprising in that section, At four o'clock, when the office was reopened, connec- tions with Meerut were found to be in- errupted. : : The telegraph force at Dethi consisted et the chief and two young assistants, Brendish and Pilkington, The office was situated outside of the city, aboub a mile from the gales. On discovering the break in the con- nections, the chief sent the two lads to test the cable across the river. T hey found that they could signal to Delhi, bul not to Meerut, and reported the fact. on their return, It was too late to do anything that night, but the next morn- ing Mr. Todd, the chief, went out him- self to investigate the line. He never returned, and although his fate is un- known, there is dittle doubb that hie was murdered. The office was thus left in charge. ol the two lads. Signs of trouble began to be evident close at hand. Brendish, slepping from the door, met a wounded ocffier, who cried out to him, "For God's sake get inside and close your doors!' The revolt crept closer and closer. The boys felt that their lives were in danger; soon they became sure of it. But before they fled to a place of com- parative safety they waited to send out to the Indian world the news of the revolt. Brendish ticked out the message which caused Sir Edward to say: "Took at the courage and sense of that little boy! With shot falling all round him, he stayed to manipulate the message that was the means of saving the Punjab." The Government rewarded Brendish fcr his services by giving him a life pension, and the other day the old man died in. the India he had helped lc preserve. DRUGGING CHILDREN A SOURCE OF DANGER When you give your child a so-called "soothing" medicine you are not curing its sickness, You are merely drugging it into temporary insensibility. Sooth- ing medicines contain opiates and an overdose may kill the child. When you give your littke one Baby's Own Tablets you have the guarantee of a government analyst that this medicine is safe. And you have the word of thousands of grateful mothers that this medicine will promptly cure all the minor ailments of childhood. Mrs. L. W.'

Dr. Thomas J. Allen, the man who lived sixty days on peanuts, declares that the peanut is "a safe, substantial and valuable article of diet." Yet he does not advise every one to cling to goobers alone, ; "The exclusive peanut diet," he says in the Vegetarian, "may do much harm, The peanut is loaded. It is a highly concentrated diet. It contains 25 per cent. albumen, which is at least twice as much as one doing vigorous mental. work should eat. "The first week I lost fen pounds as a result of the sudden change, even though I had tested foods before by exclusive dieting of three or four days. "The news was heralded that the pea- nut man was losing flesh rapidly, but was as well physically and mentally as ever. Immediately letters began to pour in. 'How do you eat peanuts to reduce your weight; raw or roasted?' "Four ounces of unroasted peanuts (you can learn to like them that way, for it's natural) daily is a good ration for the average case. The best time to eat them, generally, is the fore part of the day, the substantial fruit meal being taken in thé evening. It requires an hour at least to eat them properly, but pleasure. "The peanut is a natural narcotic. tf you are troubled with insomnia and consequent nervous exhaustion (for sleep is nature's sweet restorer), eat a few peanuts an hour before retiring-- pulverizing them thoroughly."

Splendid Heroism of Englishmen --At- tempts to Rescue Burning Minegs. While twenty-two imprisoned miners Toasted slowly to death in the Mam- slead colliery, near Birmingham, com- rades with grandest heroism not only counted thew own lives as naught in the attempt at rescue, but complained bitterly when compelled to desist. After the alarm was given, about six o'clock on the evening of March 4, Mr. Waterhouse, the manager of the col- liery, was sent for, and immediately formed a rescue party. Through the anxious crowd which surrounded the pit head, the eight men hurried in the dense smoke, but found themselves un- eble to reach the bottom of No. 1 shaft, and returned, several being in a state of collapse. DESOLATE SCENE. About half-past nine a second de- scent was made by the rescue party, who succeeded this time in reaching the bottom of the shaft, but could hear no sound from the entombed miners. A little later another attempt was made but the rescuers were driven back by {he smoke. At half-past one in the morning a final effort was made with the same result, Messrs. Wright and Owbridge being drawn out of the cage in a fainting condition. Slowly the night passed, and the grey light of morning showed a deso- late scene--row upon row of men, with strained, eager faces, the muscles of their mouths twitching with the long vigil and the agony of their emotions. The men who had waited all night had to be held back almost by force, so eager were they to join in the work of rescue. There was not a miner who would not have risked his life to save those below, "WAITING FOR DADDY." At three o'clock, his tear-stained face iit up by the glare of a fire which had been built on a mound, a small eight or nine-year-old boy stood sobbing his heart out. He was "waiting for daddy, 'be said. But "daddy" had gone down into the pit to seek another relative, and the poor litle chap was led away to spend his vigil in more comfortable surroundings. Women waited all night through. DOCTORS STOOD READY, Beginning at four o'clock in the morning on Thursday wonderfully dar- ing but fruitless attempts, in one of which poor Welby lost his life, were made to get to the miners. At nine o'clock Friday four' men went down the shaft. A code of tapping signals had been agreed upon, and the grimy men at the top Hstened intently and called for "Silence!" as the daring quar- telte were slowly lowered. The attempt was as futile as the others. They did not even reach the bottom. Whilst they were still fifteen yards away they gave the signal to be drawn up. Canvas was unrolled on the earth, and the doctors stood ready with their phials and their instruments. The four queer figures stepped oul of the cage, end it was seen at once that all of them were sulfering severely from the effects of their descent. When they went down they took with them a frightened linnet. When 'they returned the bird was dead. * WAS RAGING FURNACE. Another fruitless descent was soon made, and one of the men who: came up said that there was a raging fur- nace at the bottom, and that the hiss and erackling of the wood could he heard distinctly. Later in the day all available hands were set to work at the pithead giving effect to a scheme for reversing the ventilation, which scheme had been formed - by mining experts called to the scene. their coats, and, seizing pick and spade, worked mightily, digging a trench for Little the rain and the cold eguid save their com- rads, 2 , ; THREE MEN OVERCOME. - When Welby, the Yorkshire. man, ith Re ton ito the surface.

When he was overcome they tried to get him the cage, but on the way back two_ more collapsed. The fourth man, 'Thorne, acted with tremendous hero- ism. He carried and dragged one ah for nearly a quarter of a mile to ! bottom of shaft No. 2, and brought him Then he went down again and brought. up another of his comrades. At last he was overcome. -- © ' People were horror-stricken, and an- other reseue party quickly stepped in- tc the cage, and set out in search for Welby, who had been left below. They. came up at 10.30 having failed to find him, and all hope of saving his life was gone from that hour, as he had evidently wandered a long way into the workings. . : DEVOTION OF MINE OFFICIALS. -- The courage and devotion of the mine officials was beyond all praise. For forty hours Mr. Insley, the check- weighman, did not close his eyes, and David Ross, the surveyor, during all the terrible days of anxiety, scarcely ieft the pit's mouth. Five rescue parties were headed by Mr. Waterhouse, the manager, whose noble efforfts will not soon be fergotten by the English people. TRAMP WAS WEALTHY. liad Five. Yhousand Dollars on and About His Person. The "splendid tramp" has turned up in the shape of Patrick Halloran, at the Middleton workhouse, Dublin. Hal- loran demanded lodging, was accom- modated, and after , several days he was persuaded to change his clothes. It was then discovered that sewn in the lining of 'his various and numer- cus garments he had gold sovereigns and half sovereigns to the value of more than $1.600. He was reported to the guardians, who at first wanted to turn him out. but he pleaded that if he were to go cut he might be robbed, and the soft- hearted guardians decided to let him stay while they gave his case further consideration. They directed that. the money be placed in a bank for him, and he was taken back to the work- house. AGONIZING PILES. Cured by Zam-Buk. Mr. F. Astridge, of 3 St. Paul Street, St. Catharines, Ont., says: "For five years I suffered untold agony with pro- truding piles. The pain was so great at times I would almost scream. I went down in weight and had no appetite. 1 tried everything I heard of for piles, but got no relief. I went to several doctors, but they would give me little hope of ever getting rid of them and 17 finally gave up in despair: One day a friend gave me a sample of Zam-Buk salve and told me of someone who had been cured. I decided to try il, and the re- lief I got was encouraging. I bought a box, and the piles kept on diminishing. I used three boxes and am now com- pletely cured. One thousand dollars would be none too small an amount fo give for such a cure as mine. I lwish I could convince every sufferer of the value of Zam-Buk,."

It is not, as in most countries, slung in front of the man who plays il, but is placed upon a small dwo- wheeled cart drawn by a large dog, which has been so trained that it keeps itis place even through the longest and most tedious of marches. The drum- mer takes up position behind the cart, and' performs on the instrument as it moves along. - eR eines RAPID ADVANCE, A century ago the Hawaiians were savages and cannibals.
