THE SACRED CARPET.
Cairo's Sacred Pal. Is No Carpet at
All, Neither Does 1t Look Any
thing Like One.

It is England's wise policy in all her
colonies to have her army take part in
the national religious ceremonies. So
when the Sacred Carpet started from
the citadel on its journey to Mecca
there was a magnificent military dis
play. 1t is an odd thing to call it a
carpet, for it not only is not carpet
in itself, but it is rot the shape of a
carpet, it is not used for a carpet. and
does not look like carpet.
We were among the fortunate ones
who were invited to the private view of
it the night before, when the faithful
were dedicating it. They sat On the
floor, these Mohammedans. rocking
themselves back and forth and chant
ing the Koran.
The ''carpet" is black velvet en-
broidered soiidly in silver and gold.
1t is shaped like en- old-fashioned Meth
odist church, only there are minarets
at the four corners. 1t looks like Il
pail. Every year they send a new one
TO Mecca, and then the old CIe is cut
into tiny bits and distributed among
the faithful, who wear it next their
hearts. This carpet was about six feet
long, and was rallied in SO that no one
could touch it. A man stood by and
sprayed altar of roses on you as you
passed, but do not know what he did
it for, unless it was to turn sensitive
women faint with the heavy perfume.
But the next morning the procession
formed. and amid the widest enthusi-
asnl, the bowling and salaaming of the
men and the shouting and running of
the children, ard the singing Of the
Arabs who bore the carpet, it was
placed upon the most magnificent cam
ell l ever saw, which was covered from
head to foot with cloth OF gold, and
whose very gait seemed more majes-
tic because of his sacred burden, and
thus, led by scores of enthusiastic
Arabs, he moved slowly down the street
following the covering for the tomb,
and in turn being followed by one
scarcely less magnificent destined to
cover the sacred carpet in its camel
journey to Mecca. This was absolutely
Ill there was to it, yet the khedive was
there with a fine military escort. and
all Cairo turned cut at the unearthly
hour of eight o'clock in the morning
to see it.-Lilian Ball, in WomaE's
Home Companion.

Why don't people who are exposed

plow and burn fire guards It is a
duty man owes to his family and
community. Had sufficient guards
been made when they ought to have
been, the loss from the f1e Monday
would not have been Of any conse-
quence. The whole blame does not
rest on the immigrants who set the
fire. but rests equally upon the
shoulders of those who fail to provide

Manufacturers of imitation jewelry
have lately met with such great success
that it is said the sale of genuine jew
clry in this city is less than ever be-
fore, and it is also said on good author
ity that large amounts of capital are
soon to be invested in the manufacture
Of imitation jewelry. For some time
past it has been possible to obtain imi-
tation jeweiry in France and England
which is difficult of detection by ex-
perts. but the business has never be-
fore been taken up in this country to
/, any great extent.
The principal manufacturers expect
to deal in jewels of their own manufac-
ture which are said to be extraordi-
nary fine limitations of the real stones
and will have guaranteed life Of 20
years. The diamonds" are a compost
ton of glass, lead and carbon. tipped
with platinum, which is harder than
gold. Every real stone, except dia-
mond, is transparent; without the tip
of platinum these diamonds" would
also be transparent, but with it they
are given an unbelievable resemblance
to the genuine stone. These goods arc
mounted in 14-carat gold and SO artis-
tically that, when worn, the platinum
tipping cannot be seen. An infinite
variety of designs, copied from the best
real models, are shown and at price
which is about so per cent. less than the
genuine.
All the colored stcnes-rubies. sap
phires. emeraids and turquoises-are
also manufactured in q like way and
arc similar, with the exception of the
turquoise, to the doublet, except that
they are much harder and are made
of real stone (garnet) and crystal.
They are so hard that the surface can
be filed and no blemish made on the
stone. AS genuine pearls are the most
| costly of gems, SO do the imitation
pearls take the lead in price. They are
| made of fisEskin ard a secret compost
ton. The manufacture of some espe-
cially good imitation pearls, known as
venetian pearls" is lost art. the
process having been invented by poor
Venetian, whose secret died with him.
There are about 10000 of them in this
country, bought in Paris about ten
years ago; they are very hard, can be
stepped on without sustaining the
slightest injury and will also bounce
| like Il rubber ball. The difficulty in
the manufacture of pearls is in OBJ
tanning the orient, or luster. similar to
the genuine gems, and it is said that
very often out of 10000 manufactured
| few will be marketable, and they are
almost as difficult to match for neck
laces as the real. A dog collar of imita-
ton pearls, with diamond" clasps.
would cost about $25O.-N. Y. Post.

Only the more intimate friends Of
John Hallenback, of Silver City, who
died in Illinois, at the home of his sister,
a few days ago, knew what a generous
heart beat within his breast. He was
so systematic and -exacting in his bust
ness affairs that many thought him
close and avaricious, but if they could
only have known of the many poor
children he had shod and whose bodies
be had protected from cold, and the
sacks of flour he had supplied to poor
people, they would think most kindly
of his memory. But, while Mr.. Hallen-
back was most generous and charitable,
he dispensed his benefactions so qu ly
and unostentatiously that often the
receiver did not know from whence
they came. He was scoffer and an
infidel, but there are many so-called
christians who never did or never will
do half the good or so few unkind things
to their fellow men as our friend, John
HallenbacK. When Christmas comes
around again many poor person will
miss one of the most kindly of men,
as much as some of them have for five
or six years missed another Silver City
character, our late lamented Judge
Lyman.

Senator Shoup has given it as his
opinion that Boss Quay will be given a

ana Wyoming senatorial appointees,
under the same conditions? Those ap.
pointees did not belong to the clique of
bosses who rule in Washington, and a
precedent was found TO keep them out,
but 1t is different now. As matter of
course, the governors Of California and
Utah will now make senatorial appoint
ments, and the appointees will be seated.
