Guarding YanderbiIt,s Tomb.

The iron gates that swing between the
stone pillars of the western gateway to the
old Moravian Cemetery at New Dorp, Stat
en- Island. are closed every night at o'clock
and four of Pinkerton's detectives, armed
with heavy navy revolvers, take the place Of
three similarly armed men, who during the
afternoon have been ON guard at the tomb OF
William H. Vanderbilt. But the four men
who patrol the cemetery grounds are not the
only men on guard. Others are concealed
in the bushes around the tomb, while the
roads on either side of the gate are well
watched. During the day the guard is less
numerous than at night, but no precautions
are relaxed.
During the three stormy days that fol-
lowed Mr.. Vanderbilt's burial the detectives
were obliged to depend on their rubber coats
for shelter from the driving rain. Tuesday,
however, two sentry boxes were put in posi-
tion near the tomb. Some of the precautions
taken to prevent the violation of the tomb
are such that an account of them cannot be
published. The niche in the vault in which
the coffin of the dead millionaire is placed is
connected with an electric alarm, and even if
q tunnel could be driven to the tomb any at
tempt to remove the body or any tampering
with the wires of the alarm would be made
known Immediately at the headquarters of
the detectives.
A registering alarm clock has been placed
near the gate of the vault, and at short in
tervals the guard is required to register its
the body is expected, In view Of the precau-
tions taken to prevent it, but the watch over
the tomb will be maintained In the same
manner until the mansoleum is finished. 1t
will be almost impossible for any number of
grave robbers to carry away the body.

The Mikado of ReaIL

Correspondence of the ST. Louis Globe Democrat
1.-THE mikado's palace proper has only 26
acres of ground within its walls. The gate
ways to it are magnificent pieces of such ar
chitecture, the roof timbers, gables and caves
decorated with gold chrysanthemums, and
much carved and gilded wood. One gate on
each side is set apart for the mikado. They
never swing open for any lesser parsonage,
nor are they ever desecrated for any upstart
foet. All of the buildings-and there are
about 20 of them raising their lofty gables in
group are connected by walks or covered
galleries. Each has low flight of steps
leading down to a sanded court ON one side
of it, and each building is raised on stone
foundation posts and surrounded by tiny
moat or stone ditch of pure running water.
The sanded courts are carefully scratched
over in wavy lines by gardeners rake,
that the marks of the intruding or hostile
foot may be surely detected. The mats are
all quite new, but no finer or softer than are
the only palace mark about them being that
they are bound with purple silk woven with
a chrySanthemum pattern. In one carefully
sanded court a cherry tree and wild orange
tree stand on either side of a flight of IS
broad steps leading to the audience-room of
perial family stood on either side of the
throne, and on the IS steps were ranged the
kneeling mobiles and officials of the IS ranks
while PROSTATE on the sands of the court
were the lowest officials, known as jige, or
down to the earth" subjects. The throne
before which they knelt was not
the. gilded dais, canopy and arm
chair of western sovereigns, but
looked most like a large-curtained bed.
A square framework or 10 feet high was
hung all round with full, sweeping curtains
of heavy white silk Lifting the curtains
reverently aside the custodian let us look in
upon thick straw mat or platform about
this was laid q silk fukusa, or the small
square cushion used as seat on ceremonial
occasions in Japanese life. The old mika-
dos, whose faces were never seen, whose
persons were sacred and whose lives were
wound up in the most elaborate arrangement
of etiquet and red tape ever known of, sat
behind these curtains when they held audi
ence on New Years day and other rare occa-
Sions.

ORIENTAL CARPETS.
How and Where They Are Made and
How to Test Them.

[From the Philadelphia Carpet Trade.l
come the especial objects of important trans
actions, and the representatives of foreign
commerce not only buy great guam
titles of them at Bakou and Tifiis,
but they visit also the principle
centres of production to watch the
divers processes of manufacture. The car
pets of Daghestan, which are made for the
most part at Dcrbsnt and at Schouscha, are
now much sought after, but the most rare
and most appreciated are the carpets which
the Persians use in their prayers, and which
are distinguished by an original design, the
harmonious disposition of the c0lors and the
fineness of the wool employed.
The principle centres OF production of
these carpets are in the province of Ker-
mana, or Of Trek-Adjemi, where numerous
workmen are employed in their man
ufacture The choicest are made in
Kermana and Paraghault, woven
exclusively with goats hair or
fineness and brightness of which is attrib-
uted to the particular mode of raising the
fiocks. The fleece of these goats are of va
ried tints, which permit great varieties of
designs to be made from them.
For dyeing them they employ. the Indian
plants, roots and leaves submitted to fermen-
tation.
The colors the most extensively used are
blue, orange, yellow, grenat and green.
TO test the quality OF carpet the East
erns touch it with burning coal. If the
burn leaves no trace the carpet is good, but
if it retains any mark at all it loses three
quarters of its value. They employ no ma
chinery whatever, nor any kind of loom !;
they are entirely made by the hand, and the
work requires great care and patience.
The processes of manufacture employed in
Persia have been introduced into India with
success, where the production has rapidly
developed, especially at Cahors and Mia
pore. AS to the products of Asia Minor,
known under the name of Turkish carpets,
they are much less appreciated and less ex-
pensive. The finest are made in the prov
ince of Alden and in the neighborhood of
Smyrna, from whence they are sent in con-
siderable quantities to all the European mar
kets. They are preferred, however, to those
Of Morocco, made in the neighborhood of
Tangiers; but after the Persian carpets,
which are always preferred by connoisseurs,
the carpets Of Turcoman and those of Dag
hestan take the second rank, and are the
most appreciated in the Oriental markets.

Substnntiate their claims by quoting IA few
surgical cases in their Free Hospital for
Women.
The first semi annual report of the surgical de-
partment of this institution shows that 80 have
received treatment have left soon after entering
CONTRARY to advice) At operations have been per
formed, 81 cured, 6 improved 8 unchanged. The
longest time any one patient has received treat
ment, 70 days; the shortest, IA days; average,
81 1851.
Mur5ock,s Liquid Food is administered
TO each patient at tie discretion of the at
tending surgeons, and il is n significant
fact that in the history of the hospital there
has mot been a case in which difficulty has
been experienced ina keeping the nutrition
up 10 the standard, IA matter which other
hospitals find great annoyance i'm ADJUST
ing.
SAVED FROM CONSUMPTION.
Mrs w entered hospital July IL, suffering from
the effects of childbirth. She was weakened 70
such an extent that she was unable to eat or Oh
gest her food; had severe cough pain in the lungs
and night-Sweats. Her physician feared she was
going into consumption, and informed her frlenaS
that unless something was done Immediately sne
would probably live but short time. she was
put on Liquid Food and generous diet OF olher
food. In three weeks she was well enough to bear
an operation, which was performed. Convalesced
rapidly; discharged in four weeks. Now, three
months from date of operation, Is In perfect
health.
A CASE OF ENSAN ETH.
Mrs g. low spirited and detected since birth of
child several years ago. has been in insane asylum
once since Examination disclosed difficulty;
operation performed rapid conyalesence; all symp-
toms of insanity gone; cheerful and happy at the
present time, five months from date OF operation
THESE CASES ARE CITED TO SHOW WHAT
MURDOCK'S LIQUID FOOD, COMBINED
WITH SKILLFUL SURGICAL TREAT MEN,,
WILL DO FOR THE MANY AILMENTS Of
WOMEN.
Patients whose physical health viii mo
admit of am operation can be sufficiently
built up by the Liquid Food i'm three or
four weeks so that operation can take
place with safety.
Common cases can, by the use of the Liquid Food
be built up in threefourths the time required by
other treatment.
Our Mr. A. L. Murdoch is the first American
ever honored by having ward in one of the lead
ing hospitals Of London named after him. Inc
managers did it to show their appreciation OF the
value Of his LIQUID Food in chronic surgical cases
He also supports Free Hospital forW omen, OF 30
