How his taper lits.e fingers would handle the tiny chisel and how accurate was his eye when he wrought from the hard. meaningless wood a flower that almost had an odor, so soft were its petals. The child had inherited the talent of its father. as he had done through his parents, and so through @ long line. perhaps far back to those people whose handicraft made the rich relics in marble and wood of four centuries ago. Here children follow the fathers craft 1t is deemed a sort of family disgrace for the chil- dren to permit the profession of their father

 have been in several small carpet weavers'

Carpets ara not woven with a shuttle. but each thread or yarn of the wool is put into the warp with delft fingers, the left hand opening the one for the right to insert the other. A piece of yarn is run through and then cut oil with Q knife, to make the even, velvety tuft- The weaver does not have design before him, but another boy sits in front with his design and calls out the next color to be inserted in a sort of chant. The weaver repeats this ss he runs the color in it. The first boy calls out | for one or moro who are on the other side of | the web and thus, dictates for them all. To \ one not understanding the thing the chant | would be taken for a sort of religious exer- else. In one shop in the Psujab there wAa no fixed design at all. There were foar
