Persian Carpets.

Karman PERSIA is famous for its car
pets. I went to see a factory reputed
to lie the largest in the city, though
employing less than thirty hands. The
wretched weavers sat in two low rooms,
filled with @ sour and sickening atmos-
phere. Most of them were pale-faced,
weakly children of 10 or Il years, who
hardly looked up when entered, but
remained bent over their work, picking
up the threads with their nails, which
are kept long and notched for the pur-
pose The patterns are written out IN
pamphlets and painfully committed to
memory, and the children are taught
very young-the YOUNGER the better
Their memories are quicker than those
of grown-up folk SO far as | could I'M
derstand the patterns, they seemed to
be written in much the same style as
those directions for knitting and cro-
chet which one sometimes finds on a la
dys table-knit two, purl one thread
over, and knit two together. There was
also youth employed In reading one Of
the patterns aloud. A carpet about six
teen feet by ten can be purchased in
Karman for 40 to 80 tomans-say $50 to
$780, Some carpets viii take year
to make, and decently good carpet
will not be finished in less than three
months; thus, although there are sew
eral hundred factories in and about
Karman, the outturn of carpets is by no
means alarming. The Persians them

Why The World Progresses

It was a favorite theory with Buckle
that the worlds progress is not made by
the eminent goodness of men OF the
distinguished meanness of men. In
other words he believed that goodness
did not create civilization, but that the
forces of civilization" caused goodness
and all the worlds progress. He never
became weary in celebrating this opin-
ion. It is the rock on which he sets out
to build his History of Civilization"
All through that mighty fragment" in
every chapter Of that great unfinished
book we meet the idea. But nowhere
is it more eloquently and forcibly stat
ed than when he wrote: "Tbe gigantic
crimes of Alexander or Napoleon be
came after time void Of effect, and the
affairs of the world return to their for
mer level. This is the ebb and flow of
history, the perpetual fux to which by
the laws of our nature we are subject.
Above all this,-there is far higher
movement; and as the tide rolls on, now
advancing, now receding, there is, amid
its endless fluctuations, one thing, and
one alone, which endures forever. The
actions Of bad men produce only tenn
porary evil, and the actions of good
men only temporary good; and event
ually the good and the evil together
subside, are neutralized by subsequent
generations, absorbed by the incessant
movement of future ages. But the dis
coveries of great men never leave us;
they are immortal; they contain those
eternal truths which survive the shock
of empires, outlive the struggles of IL
val creeds, and witness the decay of sue
cessive religions. All these have their
different standards; one set of opinions
for one age, another set for another
They pass away like a dream; they are
as the fabric of a vision, which leaves
not a rack behind. The discoveries of
genius alone remain; it is to them we
owe all that we now have; they are for
ell ages and for all times; never young
andn old, they bear the seed of their
own life; they flow on in a perennial
and undying stream; they are essential
ly cumulative, and giving birth to the
additions which they subsequently re-
ceive, they thus influence the most dis
tant posterity, and after the lapse of cen
turies produce more effect than they
were able to do even at the moment of
their PRONUNCIATION" - Indianapolis

A Prize Essay Scheme.

Among curiosities of prize essay
schemes may be put the bequest of an
Aberdeen citizen, Mr. Burnett. This
worthy founder of the biggest prize es-
say fund ever known was afflicted with
a painful illness for many years; but
"his sltfferings did not shake his faith
in the loving Kindness of the, Supreme
Being, and he desired that after his
death the faith of others under similar
circumstances should be sustained and
strengthened as his had" With this
view he left q sum OF money to the
University of Aberdeen to be given as
prizes for the best essays on the exist
ence of an all-powerful, wise and good
Deity. The conditions of the bequest
were that the competition was to take
place at intervals of 40 years, so as to
allow the fund to accumulate to sum.
of not less than 91, 100 for the first prize
and G400 or..the second. The first con-
test took place in 1874, and such bic
prizes naturally attracted some BIG
competitors The first prize was
awarded to Dr. William Brown. princi-
pal Of Aberdeen University; the second
to DR.. Sumner. afterward archbishop Of
Canterbury. The second contest took
place in 1854, when the Rev. r. A.
Thompson was awarded the first prize
amounting to 81 800, and the second of
9600 to Principal Tulloch. The third
contest should take place in 1894, whe;.
the sum available for distribution is ex-
pected to amount to about 10000: but
a question has arisen in the minds of
the trustees whether the money cannot
be applied to more practical purposes.
According to the terms of the will. the
offer had to be advertised, for seven
years out of every forty, in the literary
papers Of all English speaking coun-
tries at a, cost estimated. at G700: and
the successful essayist had to send 800
copies of his essay to the trustees. who
were compelled to advertise extensively
that these copies are. for gratnitons dis

Lord Rosebery considered the. prospect
gloomy if the religious feeling of the
country depended upon these essays,
for he found that more than 300 Of the

foreseen time when his well meant
scheme would yield such barren results,
he might possibly have devoted his
wealth to nobler object. The trustees
have applied under the endowment in

conditions of the trust, and to substi-
tute for the essay prizes at 40 years in

Political economy is certainly a
science. So is medicine. SO is law.
But none of them are exact sciences.
There are in all of them certain estab-
hshed things; for instance, all doctors
agree that cutting mans head off will
kill him, but every person knows that
as well as the doctors do. There are
many other things which they also
know, because it has been proved that
they exist. And there are many effects
that they understand and assent to be-
cause they have witnessed them. But
there are a Multitude of other things
as to which they are not agfeed: And
this absence of agreement arises from
the fact that the things in dispute have
not been proved.
1t is precisely the same way in law.
There are some points on which all
lawyers are agreed. And thus far the
science Of the law may be called exact.
But beyond that there is no exactness
about it. When a question involves a
settled principle there is no dispute
about it. But when the question is one
involving two or more conflicting prin-
ciples there always has been and always
will be disagreement among the ablest
lawyers as to which of the primary
principles should control in settling
the question. And neither Coke, nor
Blackstone, nor Storey, nor Cooley are
accepted as unquestioned authority on
these disputed points. The truth of
this may be seen in the multitude of
"0verruled cases. to be found in the
books, and in the number of times that
both Judges Storey and Cooley have
been in the minority in their own
courts.
And as to political economy it is no
more exact than law or physics There
are some things about political economy
to which all men assent because they
have been recognized as the unvarying
product of the same causes.
For instance, all agree that there is
power of multiplication in all organic
life, because this multiplication has
been witnessed. And so of all the other
things that have been seen and proved.
The things which are proven and known
will always be accepted.
To the extent that the writer's on po-
litical economy, Mr.. Mill included, con-
fine themselves to demonstrating that
certain causes repeat their results, they
are entitled to be followed just as q
schoolmaster is who teaches that the
result of adding four units is four.
But beyond that there is vast field
for speculation.
And whoever enters it, whether it be
John Stuart Mill or another, must be
prepared to encounter adverse opinion
whether from politico- economic writer's
of much reputation, or from thinkers of
ability whose fame is not so worldwide
And it is precisely these, in this broad
field of opinion, where the Judgment
and reasoning of every man of ability.
is quite as much entitled to considera-
ton as that Of Ricardo, or Adam Smith,
or Mill, or any other British writer
Most of them have written for an

present were unknown, and all of the

The ,IeMSIlarn.

An Englishman has established a
mandatory of iewsharps in Troy. 1t
is said that there are only two others in
the country, one in New York and the
other in Boston. A simpler instrument
than the jewsharp it would be hard to
conceive, but the process of manu-
facture comprises no fever than thirty
separate operations. The inventor OF
that humble instrument, which has
been vibrating all over the world for
centuries, is unknown to fame. AT the
beginning of the present century the
jewsharp was developed by combining
several different instruments, each with
separate pitch, and in 1927 Eulen-
stein, native of Wurtemberg, made a
sensation in London by playing on SIX
teen at once.
