TIE annual flower d.x A. the 1olie.

HE annual flower day at the Joliet
Qll.,) penitentiary occurred few DAYS
ago, and each convict, old and young,
good and bad, was treated to bunch Of
sweet-smelling flowers, q momento of
the outside world, of which they rarely
catch glimpse. At o'clock q COM
mittee Of ladies' from the w. G. T. u.
from Joliet and surrounding towns ar
rived at the prison with roses of oil
colors, pansies, bleeding hearts, etc. :,
enough to give each Of the 1850 in
mates nice bouquet. The ladies were
kindly received by Warden Berggren,
and the flowers were quickly distributed
among the cells, to be found by the
prisoners when they marched in from
their days labor. A clapping Of hands
broke out in the cell houses as the con-
victs entered their cells. This was the
only sign they were allowed to manifest
to show their appreciation for the gift
from the kind women who had remem-
bered them.
E. B. WAsHBuRN is a character Of
Three Oaks, Mich, a widower, and lives
with his two young daughters. whom he
refused TO allow to go to school. Wash
burn has been horribly dirty; his hair
was long, snarled, and unclean, his
whiskers shaggy, his clothes in rags
when he could wear better, and his pres
ence in nice neighborhood has been al
most intolerable to the sensitive. The
children have been neglected, and their
appearance excited compassion as well
as disgust. On q recent evening the
citizens got big tub, filed it with warm
soap suds, bought new suit Of clothes
for the man and clean garments for the
children, and going to Washburn's
mouse, proceeded to give him cleaning.
He kicked and squirmed, but these nov
ell White Caps compelled him to submit.
They cut his hair and beard and took
away his rags. His children were like
wise treated by the ladies, but more
kindly.
WHILE the fishing schooner Hattie D.
was on the Banks off Nova Scotia one of
her men caught large halibut. The
fish was Of such huge proportions that it
took several of the crew to haul it
aboard. Upon opening the halibut
portion of q woman's hand, with the
thumb and first and second fingers, was
found in it. On the second finger was
a plain gold band ring, on which were
engraved the letters, "G. w. g." The
ring is now in Captain Isenhauer's poss-
ession.
NEAR Summerville, La, recently, a
lady went into the woods and caught

eyes" said he. She threw out her arm.
The mans wife was standing by and
was SO alarmed at seeing the snake
squirming about that she fell back dead.

RARE ORIENTAL RUGS.
Splendid and Costly Specimens
Made by Hand.

''There is rug that has been in use
for fifty years at least, and it has been
slashed and torn, probably by some
Arab. robber, but it is worth 800 never
theless," said prominent Philadelphia
carpet merchant, referring TO splendid
piece Of Persian work stretched on the
floor before him. THAT gives you IN
idea of the value of an Oriental rug, he
continued. American industry will
never produce anything to equal it.
'The Eastern rug wears forever. II
is made by the most tedious hand pro-
cess. Every tuft of wool is tied fast to
the warp of the rug, and hence the ever
varying patterns which could never be
turned out by machine. The wool
cannot be torn from its place, as in q NM
chine-made carpet. The clips OF the
famous Armenian sheep are used in the
manufacture, and after few years use
it is more like silk than wool. But
these rugs are unique in another respect.
Absolutely fast colors are not known
outside of the Orient. The vegetable
dye which is used there will never fade
as wi the aniline dye. There are end
less shades of color, too, which are not
reproduced outside the domain of these
rugmakers. There is one establish
ment in Wisconsin which follows the
Eastern method Of weaving, but in the
matter Of coloring rivalry ceases.
Second hand rugs2 Why, the rich
est OF them have been in use for years.
Representatives of the Constantinople
merchants who trade with the West are
sent travelling through the barbarous
empires. Rugs that have been trodden
for years under the feet Of Mohamme-
dan worshippers in the great mosques,
or perhaps for several decades have
decked some noblemAn's harem, are
bought up, sometimes at an absurdly
low price, and carried away in horse or
camel trains.
.sSome rugs are found that have been
made By. the dainty hands of court
ladies', involving the labor Of several
years; but the tendency is for the owners
to hold fast to them in the hope Of
realizing an immense purchase price.
1t is not an unusual thing for Arab rob-
beers to attack party Of rug merchants
travelling with their valuable loads, and
in the fight rugs are rent and torn like
this one which you see.
"Filthiness is no name for these
pieces Of handiwork when they reach the
shipping point for the west. Reeking
with the dirt of years, they would shock
the instinct Of the veriest scavenger on
our shores. They are washed and then
sent off to market. When they reach
England or this country they generally
have to be given thorough securing
before they can be put on sale. They
are of dozen different Glasses, named
after the provinces where they were pat
termed -BokhAra, Anatolia. Kurd, Dag
hestan, Persia, Smyrna, Chiraz, Alfalfa
bad, Belcochistan and Agra. They con
generally be distinguished from one
another by the length Of the nap and
the general coloring and design. All
are the result Of the same patient work,
and bring high prices from lovers Of the
artistic the world over. II Philadslphia
