A Chinaman on Walking.

Nobody ever saw Chinaman with
muddy shoes, no matter what the
weather, unless some hoodlums had
pushed him into puddle. We take care
of our feet instinctively, and get into
habit of walking carefully. If you
watch on muddy crossing you will see
one American after another pick his way
over cautiously, and yet land on the
other side with mud on his toes, while
Chinaman will walk along after them at
his usual gait. and, seemingly not notic-
ing his feet, stepping on the other curb
with not particle of mud on the tops of
his shoes. But when he crossed the
street he did not walk as the American
did. Had he done SO he would have
been as muddy as they. They stepped
along gingerly on their toes, or. at least.
the front part of the foot. In this way
they put all the weight of their body on
the thinnest part of the shoe, from top
to bottom, and when it flattened out with
each step the mud touched the leather.
The Chinaman walked over with the
weight of his body on the heel and in
step of the shoe, and the toe barely graz
ing the ground The foot of the shoe
that felt his weight was firm and un-
yielding. and did not spread into the
mud. .-Fung Loud in st. Louis Globe

Considering the fact that there was no
machinery to save labor. no chemicals,
no shadow of an art school, an antique
oriental rug of fair quality that in color
and texture has defied the tread of CEN
turies. is no mean proof of the patient
industry and consummate artistic skill of
the daughters of the orient.
Professor William Thomson tells of an
oriental rug which the family had in
his boyhood in Syria. 1t had done SER
vice of all kinds long enough to be torn
in two, and the half rug used to 90 to
the sea shore with the boys to receive no
gentle treatment. When soiled with
earth it would be washed in salt sea
water and thrown on the burning sands
to dry under the Syrian sun, that can
bleach anything: but the only effect Of
the ordeal on the half rug would be to
give the colors new life.
What is the intrinsic value of an an
tique oriental rug? Answer, he who
can. That soft, glossy Anatolian prayer
rug, with fine, intricate design border
ing the rich gold ground, is the handi-
work of passionate maiden, who spent
years of patient toll on it, while before
her mind there stood the distaut visions
of herself, mother, kneeling on that
rug in ardent prayer for her children.
That rug could hardly be produced
today for its own weight in gold,
for not only the artist and the dyes are
gone forever, but the patriarchal days of
peace and quiet prosperity that made
such art and labor possible are no more
to be found under Turkish skies.
Turkish rugs of the highest quality
have always been made in the region of
the Caucasus mountains by Turks, Ar
menians, Turcomans and Kurds, the lat
ter two being nomad races "Daghis-
tan (Which means mountain region) is
generic name given in the native coun-
try to all close woven, heavy, fine wool
rugs, which would naturally be made in
a region where large portion of the
people are occupied as shepherds rearing
flocks of fine sheep. The term ''Daghis
tan" however, has now come to be uni
versally applied to the finest quality u
short nap Caucasus rugs, made generally
oblong in shape.-Herant M. Kiretch-
jan in New York Mail and Express.
