CARPET WEAVING. An old carpet weav- CT, we'll known in these parts as one of the best weavers in the country. takes except ions to the advice about carpets ln THE NEws, ss follows:
 NR. PEAsE Fl noticed in your paper two weeks ago piece telling how to make a rag carpet, and thought would give you my opinion on making rag carpets. Your correspondent says she allows pound and quarter of rags and three knots and half of warp for yard of cloth. l allow car pet can be made of that amount of material but not good one. l allow one and ball pounds of rags and five knots of warp for yard, and for a room fifteen feet square allow thirty seven pounds of rags. YouI correspondent says she calculates to have 1 thirty-Rve or thirty six pounds of rags for 6 room twenty five feet square. That think | would not make much of a carpet, for, if
 am right, 1t takes between sixty and seven | ty yards to cover room of that size. Were
 I making carpet for room twenty-five fee square should allow one hundred pounds of rags and use them all in order to have good durable carpet. Then she says sh' never expends time or labor in colorinl rags. I think it is great addition to car pet to have plenty of bright colors. It add greatly to the beauty and plessantness of room. Who does not like good lively car petP do, and like one that 's firm ant substantial. W. A. B.

HOLDING BREATH.-It IS probable that the entrance of water inte the lungs has a great deal to do with the palnlessness of drowning, It is certain that uncOnsoious ness comes on more quickly when the per- son is deprived of air because the lungs are filled with water. than whom the air passages are closed. .whIle the lungs remain intact. Most persons can hold their breath for minute, very many for minute aud a half, some for two minutes In one of the variety theatres in New York appeared recently '"The Brilliant Pearl of the En- chsnted Grotto. christeDed Undlue, who performs, while under water. encased in a mammoth crystal illuminated glass tank. fsats of astonishing suppleness and almost unbelievable endurance" This performer can probably remain under water. holding her breath voluntarily, two minutes. and perhaps moro. I have myself, watch in hand, seen Johnson, the celebrated ocean swimmer, remain under water in a tank before an audience. for the astonishing spaoo of three minutes aud twenty seconds, and, before he rose, the involuntary con- traction of hls respiratory muscles were uncomfortable to witness. In such cases, although extreme distress may be felt, there is no approach to uneon clousness. But If Q persons head IS under water, and he does not hold his breath. unsonclous- ness will usually come on in one or two minutes at the farthest.-PopaLGr Science Monthly.

DKsPKRATE TRANPs. The Centralia (Mo.) Guard says Hast Thursday evening the conductor of 8 west bound freight train put off number of tramps upon his arri val at Centralia. The tramps showed fight. and being reinforced by about fifteen more tramps who were loafing about the depot the gang undertook to capture the train. fourishing knives, pieces of iron and other weapons. The conductor drew revolver, and backing between two box cars, he held the ruff1ans in check un. til reinforced by the train hands and 6 number of our citizens, when the trampf sullenly fell back, but as the conductor climbed on top of the freight cars and s:g nailed the engineer to pull out, the trsmp' made rush for the cars and tried to ge on, but the conductor threatened to shoo the first man who boarded the train, and i was only by keeping them covered witl his revolver until the train left the depot that he succeeded in keeping them off. l was the most determined and desperat looking gang of tramps that has ever visite' Centralia, and close watch was kept upol their movements while here.

He holds to his ssignorial ways, however, as had occasion to remark the other day when I watched hls heavy playing. A yenng lady accompanied by her mother. was just behind him. Now and aRaln Madam X. put p1ece of silver on the ta- hle, and mademoiselle. indulginR ln 1nspl- ration, remarked; Mamma, put on the nine. it is sure to come up." Mamma, with maternal con trary conviction, shrugged bsr shoulders and pat on thirty-slx. but Ibrehim Pasha. bearing tho pleasant sound of that young voice. followed it's inspIra- tion, and put four louis on the nine. The nine came up, and instead of four louis his exeellency picked up one hundred and forty-four. Turning to the young lady he aaid: "Merci, yaadamoiseUe, uoacs uotre pdrt," !" and he offered her seventy-two napoleons. She drew back. Mamma flow in rage. Ibrahim Pasha put the money ln hlS pock- ct, and declaring he had never been so ln. suited in hls life, Qultted the table. More than ono less delicate female around the roulette regretted not to have been the Tn ueky and less scrupul0ue tnspirant.
