A Magnificent Carpet.

On view at the carpet exhibition at
the Commercial Museum in Vienna is
large silk carpet, the property of the
imperial court OF considerable his
torical and artistic interest. The
carpet, a marvel OF its kind. was pre-
sented to the Emperor Charles vi. by
Car Peter the Great and Is a mag
nificent specimen OF old oriental carpet
weaving. 1t is unequaled for the rich
ness and purity Of its colors. and the
hues and tints of its silken fleece
change kaleidoscopically according to
the position in which it is exposed to
the light. This remarkable piece OF
tapestry represents in brilliant colors
a picture OF the chase at the Persian
court while the border is adorned
with strange representations of feath-
cred genii and flying dragons.

Extracts from Paper Printed Over Ono
Hundred Years Ago.
Among the time-worn relics of q
well-known downtown chop house are
copies OF newspapers printed in this
city more than one hundred years ago,
says the New York Times. Here Is a
sample news paragraph which appear
ed in the Daily Record of Dec. 80.
1876:
yesterday was executed, pursuant
to sentence, for burglary. Thomas Lee,
a black man. During the execution
the rope slipped and caught him by
the chin, in which situation he was
suspended for nearly two minutes. He
then spoke, saying: 1T does not choke
me-" on which the platform was raised
and the rope properly fixed, when he
was launched into eternity. He APP
peared to have little concern for his
unhappy situation and but an imper-
feet idea of his future state. Notwith-
standing the awful spectacle, number
of hardened villains the same night
broke open the store of Mr.. Rhine
lander, at Burling Slip, and carried off
an iron chest containing cash to the
amount of f100."
In the same paper of Nov. %, 1856,
are these paragraphs:
"A mulatto boy, between eighteen
and nineteen years of age, to be sold;
is a tolerable cook, and understands all
kinds of housework."

'Rou." the Frenchmen called our
Rolf; and there was law that IL man
was In danger himself or caught his
enemy doing any damage he could
raise the cry, YHa, Roui' and so In
woke justice in Duke Rolf's name. At
the sound OF the cry everybody was
bound on the instant to give chase to
the offender. and whoever failed TO re-
spond TO the cry Of Ha Rou!' must
pay heavy fine TO Rolf himself. Thus
began the old English fashion OF hue
and cry" as well as our custom OF
shouting .'Hurrah!' when we are
pleased and excited.

Arctic whalebone made remarka-
BILE advance last week to IS. 25 a pound
for choice quality. says the New York
World. This is the highest price re-
membered by the trade. Fully TO-
pounds were sold at $40 to IS a
pound; and the commoner kinds, such
as Japan sea and northwestern,
brought ST. 10 to $4.35 pound As
with all whale products, this article
is yearly diminishing in supply. and.
unless commerce permits long
breeding rcst, 1t is too much to imag-
inc that any gigantic enterprise can
come with the magic aid of scientific
economy and manage to organize
some sort OF whale-preserve or mari
time ranch at a feasible point OF the
ocean, our noble aquatic animal must
soon practically disappear like the
buffalo of the prairie.
In late years few moneyed specula-
tors have continued to get control Of
the bulk of the '.catch. and in the
condition Of matters all possible cheap
ness is wiped out The stimulating
whips of enthusiastic jockeys and those
OF stylish family and road turnouts, the
symmetry OF comfortable corsets, of
bridal or other expensive waists must
hereafter pay extra tribute to the ex-
travagant drain that has been going
on in whalebone for the Inst sixty
years.
There are many useful substitutes,
but none seem to satisfactorily fill the
place for best purposes of pure Green
land baleen, or rs the witty dressmaker
remarks: Nothing else has such
staying excellence"
Worth and host of foreign and
American gown contractors of renown
arc extremely particular in selecting
this material, and cannot be induced
to experiment with the best limitations.
In fact, no first-class workman or
woman would attempt TO turn out a
bridal, reception, or ball gown that had
not an incorporation of genuine whale
bone where needed.
The best whalebone is obtained
from the Greenland or right whale.
There are about three hundred thin
plates of it in the mouth OF full grown
animal, varying from ten to fifteen
feet in length. These are arranged
transversely in rows and fringed at the
edges with a thready substance, which
enables the whale to secure the
peculiar suction food on which it sub
sists.

A New York man is the proud pos
SCISSOR of a Poland China hog, Of fine
pedigree, which Is so fierce that with
the exception of his owner, he will
permit no one to approach HIM. The
only other thing on the farm for which
he ever had any friendship was dom
mick hen, which was his inseparable
companion for more than a year.
The hog had the run Of half acre
lot, over which he rooted again and
again, for apparently no other purpose
than TO provide the hen with worms.
bugs and other insects. The hog and
hen could be seen any fine day making
the rounds, the hog turning up the
ground with his great snout and then
grunting contcntedly us the hen
scratched in the furrow.
This was kept up until the hens APP
petite was satisfied, and then the hog
would stretch himself in the sun for a
nap, and the hen would either nestle
in the dust by his side or perch on his
body somewhere, and wait for her pig
admirer to wake up. When the hog
was fed the hen perched on the edge Of
the trough and occasionally picked out
floating morsel.
One day another pig was turned into
the Enclosure, and all went well until
the hen perched herself as usual on the
edge of the trough at feed-time. The
new pig did not approve of this and
with quick and savage movement
caught the hen by the neck and broke
1t. For a moment the big hog gazed
at the lifeless body Of his friend and
then made one rush upon the domi-
nick's slayer, and with his long tusks
tore the offender so that he died in a
few minutes.

4AE sAppEsr THING.

Quarrcls come and the day turns dark;
Paintings arc, and the parted moan;
Death stalks by and a body stark
Lies where love once claimed Its own;
But the saddest thing is a love outgrown.
A word, and the quarrel's smooth again;
A time, and the parted clasp and kiss;
And even death IL eased of pain
BY hope OF reunited bliss;
But love outgrowr Is stript Of this.
sTis the living form and the heart long
dead
IT'S the touching hands, yet the soul
alone;
'Tis the trick to walk bride-garmented
With dust and ashes on US thrown
The saddest thing Is a love outgrown.

Almost Fire-prOoE.

The fact that many OF the houses Of
Portland. Oregon, and San Francisco
are built of redwood is given rs rea-
son for the few destructive ires that
occur in those cities. The wood is
almost infiammable, and though fire
will smolder in it, it never blazes. The
great objection to the use of this wood
in the eastern states is that it will not
stand the alterations of heat and cold.
