Never cut the res around . square

carpet, and is easily broken.
When sewing hit or miss. be sure
and mix the colors as much as possible.
When winding rags, do not put two
or more colors in one ball, as the weav-
er goes by the outside color, and in q

ors Of the came shade all through, aud
sew all the others into hit or miss balls.
Rinse the rags we'll alter coloring, or
they win be very dusty from the dye
and shorten the days of the weaver.
Never use rags from an old carpet
that has served its time and has been
turned and washed until it ceases to
exist as carpet. After finishing one
or more balls of rags, DO not put them
in the attic to be covered with dust,
food for the moth and home for the
mouse; but take good care and put
them where no dust can get to them.
We do not need an Introduction to
the lady who sends rags to Us. In .
great many cases we do not desire one.
A weaver takes peep into your every
day life when he or she looks at your
rags. They know you-whether your
clothes are good or bad, whether you
speak Greek or Latin. We cast no in
situations, but if the shoe fits do not
blame us, for we had nothing to do
with the shaping of your foot
Do not be surprised when you ask
your weaver the size of your rooms, if
they do not know, for it is one of their
great failings not to know the size of
every room in the State. Measure the
room yourself and give the exact di-
mansions if you want it woven to fit the
same.
Make your own stripe by winding the
rags on stick as you want it in your
carpet, as the weaver may have differ
emit taste and not suit you. Do not ex-
pect ball the size of hens egg to 60
through twenty or more yards.
It generally takes from one to ten
years to prepare carpet, and then it ID
taken to the nearest weaver and is
wanted the same or next day. Do not
expect this. You have taken your time,
SO give the weaver time to cough up
some of the dust taken prior to your
coming.
A very neat and nice rug can be wo-

cutting it into strips about one inch

AQueer Experience.

Who would think that q railroad en-
gine that rested in . round house here
yesterday was stopped on its way to
Charlotte to prevent it from running
over two deer, that. charmed by the big
yellow glare Of its headlight, stood on
the track and waited until the
engine stopped within ten feet of them !?
asks the Charlotte, n. c., Ne,cs. Such
thing did occur. It was on the Caro-
lima Central Railroad, and Frank Lewis
Is the engineer who came within an ace
of bringing load of venison to Char.
lotte.
The Charlotte bound passenger train,
Capt. George Welsh, conductor, pulled
out OF the depot at Wilmington at the
usua: time Tuesday evening. made the
regular stop at Hilton bridge, another
stop at Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley
crossing, and was just getting under
way Cor Meares Bluff when Engineer
Lewis saw q dark object ahead on the
track. He at first thought it was .
man, but as il did not move he seized
the whistle cord and gave the cattle
alarm. The object grew bigger but re-
AAoAAO0 AAOeAOu1Oooy SuO tu0 Cok1o00H
threw on the brakes. The train slowed
up abruptly, and as it drew near the
object The engineer saw something that
astonished him. There just in front Of
him was big buck deer with fine
spread of antlers. The buck was stand
ing in the center of the track staring d.
rectly into the headlight, and Just be-
hind him. standinO across the track and
looking at the engine over the bucks
shoulders was beautiful doe. The en-
gine got within ten feet of them when
its nearness threw the rays of the head
light over them, and the moment that
occurred they bounded from the track
and disappeared in the darkness. The
engineer was almost unstrung by the
novel experience, aud he and the fireman
talked deer all the way to Charlotte,
Had he known what the objects ahead
of him were. he could have put on steam
and bagged big mess of venison.

Told by Bismarck.

Prince Bismarck is credited with the
story that when the well-known African
traveller, DR.. Robert Felkin, was staying
with the blood-thirsty King Mtesa of
Uganda many years ago, the king. out
of gratitude for his visitors medical
treatment, wished to cut off his head.
On DR.. Felkin representing that the
treatment was not finished, and that If
interrupted it would cause Mtesa's
death. the latter granted him reprieve
until he was quite recovered. Then,
however, nothing availed, and the exc
cution was determined upon. Emin
Pasha, who was friend of DR.. Felkin,
had instructed him most accurately
about the state of affairs in Uganda and
the court of King Mtesa and had re-
vealed to him an important state secret
namely, where Mtesa's powder store
was hidden.
DR.. Felkin remembered this at the
right moment, and as last resort
threatened that if Mtesa killed him he
would bring down fash of lightning
upon his powder store. Mtesa replied
incredulously:
"Tell me where it is.
DR.. Felkin whispered in his ear:
st is concealed under your harem."
Mtesa turned pale and allowed Felkin
and his companions to live. The light
ming makers" authority increased when
next day fash of lightning happened
to strike near the harem.

Protect the Rights of the Public.
Editor LIGHT:
According to the terms of the original
grant from the Spanish crown, all the
lands situated within six miles square,
were donated to the corporate authorities
of the city, consequently the title to all
lands within these limits, must Of necessi-
ty, start from the city. II the claimant is
unable to derain his title from the city,
the first link in his chain of title is want
ing, and has nothing to hook on to, and
is invalid for such missing link" in his
title.
Presa street, on the south side of the
San Antonio river, has been built into by
the electric company, and, in consequence
therof, will not hit the street on the OPP.
p1.lte side of the river, as it must have
been originally laid out. Then, Villita
street has been narrowed down to mere
alley, where it intersects Presa street,
which is one of the main thorOughfareS
for country people. This Is bad enough
indeed, ii admits of no excuse, whatsoever;
but now, some fellow intends $50 it is
reported) to erect building on the mar
row strip Of land, lying between Presa
river, by which the ford across the river
will be closed and blockaded to the pub
lie.
am sure the city never sold this tri-
angular strip of land, bordering on the
river; and unless the putative owner can
show a deed from the city, his title Is alb
solutely worthless. The supreme court OF
Texas has very rightfully decided. that
the mere pay ing Of taxes on land, is not
enough to confer title. The strip
of land to which allusion has
been made, has never been
fenced nor occupied by1auy claimant.
The ford across the river has doubtless
been used as such ever since the settle-
ment of San Antonio by the public, and
the law, in such case, will indulge the
presumption that it was dedicated to the
pu blic.
Where a road, crossing river at ford,
has been used by the public without let,
or hindrance, for ten or more years, the
law presumes it was originally dedicated
to the use of the public, and an injunc
ton will be grantable in such case to
prevent the closing of the ford by shut
ting up the road leading down to the
stream.
The city government is the custodian
of the rights of the public, as regards the
streets and the groupings of the river, and
is morally and legally bound to protect
the rights of the public from all infring-
mentS. Nor can the city government, act
ing as the trustee Of the rights of thep pub
lie, lawfully authorize any person or per- |
sons to appropriate to his or her private
use a portion of public street or alley, |
in a city. Let the council perform its
duty to the public faithfully and fearless
ly, by protecting the rights of the public |
to the streets and to the river banks.
