TO p,ck Out oriental Rur.,

entail rug or carpet, which a Constanti-
nople gentleman says is sure, is to ex-
anime carefully to see if each stitch is
knotted, instead of trusting to those
easily put on marks of age-patches,
holes and crooked places. If the stitch
is knotted and firm the rug is genuine;
but, if the stitch can be pulled out, it is
imitation, no matter how closely the
original rug may have been copied in
pattern and color. An oriental dealers
test is to drop live coal on the rug, and
when it has burned little to remove
it quickly with the fingers. If the
scorching entirely disappears, leaving
the original coiors ura.:ered, it is
proof of the genuineness of the rug

A JOB FOR 700 TURKEYS.
Turned LOORe in an Orchard to Save

Turned LOORe In an orchard to Save
1t from Invading Grasshoppers.
w R. Birmingham, of Oakland, a few
years ago purchased large tract of
land in the river bottom below Pollas-
ky, and has since put out over 1860
fruit trees. There was small orchard
on the place when he purchased it, and
these older trees are in full bearing,
while peach trees but three and four
years old have borne large crops. The
soil is deep silt, and very fertile. Mr.
Birmingham put in large gasoline en-
gine and pump, and pumps water from
the San Joaquin river to irrigate with
The orchard presents very thrifty ap-
pearance, and all the trees that are old
enough are loaded with fruit
The other day an army of grasshop-
pers came down from the hills to the
southeast and invaded one corner of
the orchard They We're too young to
fly much and could only hop and crawl,
but they had voracious appetite, and
within few hours had eaten every leaf
from every tree over an area of five
acres.
There was in the garden tract nearly
everything in the vegetable line, but
the choppers showed no preference what
ever, eating everything clean as they
went. Squash vines that were very
thrifty, each of which covered a space
of perhaps six feet square, were eaten
off clean. Strawberries were eaten
without cream, and every berry and
vegetable in the garden went to fatten
grasshoppers. And there were mil
lions upon millions of hoppers and hop
pers. They are not of the 17-year va
riety either, but just common, every
day foothill grasshoppers with noun
tain appetite. AS their wings are not
large enough to enable them to indulge
the disposition SO prevalent in both
man and animal to hurry on to other To-
calities in search of greener or better
pastures, they just hop and crawl upon
the trees and vines, and eat, and eat,
and eat. 1t does seem as if they can
eat for "A hours without rest.
Mr.. Birmingham at once put an ad-
vertisement in the Republican that he
wanted thousand turkeys. A wagon
lead of turkeys passed through Fresno
recently en- route for Pollasky, but he
\ wants all he can get.
S,,.xsas an experiment Mr.. Birmingham
nNed with quart of middlings and
quart of bran one pound of arsenic and
set the mixture before the invading
army. They ate with a relish and
marched onward, right on. He says
he didn't find a dead grasshopper.
Two years ago the hoppers invaded
the same orchard Mr.. Birmingham
found Portuguese who had band of
700 turkeys, and at once made arrange
ments with him to bring his turkeys
down to the orchard and camp there.
The owner of the turkeys had several
well-trained shepherd dogs, and with
their aid rs turkeys were allotted to
each row of trees, and herded slowly
along, eating hoppers, as they went
Men were sent in advance to shake the
hoppers from the trees, and the tur-
keys did the rest. The hoppers were
totally destroyed and the orchard saved

"A Slay colony with Marks of Shack1eS

carload of Russian Slavs lately
passed through here, bound for the Bad
Lands, west of Bismarck, where they
will locate. They are unable to speak
English. There were q men in the
party, besides women and children.
They came from eastern Russia, and
were averse to talking about their ma.
tive country, and seemed to think they
were still under the power of the caai'.
Whether nihilists or not, some of the
members of the party have suffered
from the suspicion of nihilism. One of
the men, Michael Lodovitch, claims to
be brother of the famous exile Ivan
Lodovitch, who has spent 40 years in
the salt mines of lower Siberia. An
other emigrant, I'esah Stolstock, was
sent to Siberia for life in 1884, and
still bears the marks of the shacllles
with which he was confined in under
ground dungeons. On the coronation
of the present czar, however, he was
pardoned, with 200 others. Later, Stol-
stock was again arrested as suspected
nlnlllSU, ule same crime OF Nn1cn ne
was accused and punished before, but
he escaped. He was joined by his sis
ter in Belgium, and they at once start
ed for America.
Perhaps the worst example of Rus
sian punishment in this party is Ivan
Molosky, a Pole. He was never in ST.
IBERIA, but for six years was kept in
the dungeons of Moscow. These dun
geens are under the river, and, he says,
are always at least two inches deep
with water that filters through the
cement walls. From June, 1889, to No
vember, 1886, Molosky saw no ray of
light, and his only companions were the
rats. His offense, so the police claim,
was an attempt on the life of Michael
Connor, Russian officer of the czar's
guard. Molosky claims that he never
had trial, and was only released on
his promise that he would leave Russia
at once, otherwise suffer life imprison-
ment At the point where these people
will locate there is already quite a
settlement of their friends, who pre-
ceded them about year ago.-Minne-

A Triumph for Hanna.

TOLEDO, o., June 23.-The Republi-
can State Convention completed its
work to-day in session of less than
four hours. While there had been a
hard fight for two days for the control
of the State Central Committee, there
Was every appearance of harmony and
enthusiasm to day. The two contested
districts were decided in favor Of the
Dick candidates and this showed that
the State committee stood II for Dick
and four for kurtz. Senator Hanna was
not only congratulated on the result
but all the delegates were seeking admit
tance to his apartments for conference.
Governor Bushnell not only accepted
the situation complacently before the
convention assembled by having
friendly consultations with Senator
Hanna, but he also made a strong
speech Ct acceptance in the convention.
When Governor Bushnell declared Sin
spite of the statements of the Demo-
cratic press accept" there was loud
demonstration.
In the organization of the State Cen
trail Committee in the afternoon Gov
ernor Bushnell named the vice chair
man, while Senator Hanna selected the
chairman and the secretary.
The feature of the convention was
the speech of Senator Hanna. Cover
nor Bushnell, Lieutenant Governor
Tones, General Grosvenor and Others
who spoke had been frequently heard,
but Senator Hanna was not known be-
fore in his own State as an orator, al
though he had for years been recognized
as leader in management and organi-
cation. His delivery was eloquent and
forcble, and he captured the conven-
ton by his commanding oratory, He
was enthusiastically cheered and CON
graduated more on his effort to-day
than on his triumph of yes terday.

then slowly as the light failed from
