Nee,lful Legislation.


While a great deal is being said about
the running expenses of the county
the fact should not be forgotten that
the actual running expenses of Fall
River county are less now than ever
before. 1t is the policy of the present
board of county commissioners to
economize wherever it is possible to do
SO, keeping always in mind the welfare
of the taxpayer as we'll as the credit OF
the county. 1t is an easy matter to
carp and criticise and find fault, where
the carper and critic and the faulttind-
-er has no responsibility, but it is quite
another thing when one is called upon
to pass judgment upon matters coming
before the board. A great saving can
be made to this county and the other
counties in the state, by passing some
needful legislation that is not included
by the 'sreform" party in its category
of necessary reforms, and yet they are
of much more consequence. "A saving
of two or three hundred dollars annu-
ally can be effected by. requiring the
county auditor to notify by mail all
Judges of election of their appointment
and do away with the present useless
and expensive system of notification
by the sheriff; I. saving of about two
hundred dollars can be made in this
county by making the registration law
applicable only to cities OF the first
class or to cities of five thousand in
habitants or more; about one hundred
and fifty dollars can be saved by abol-
ishing the present requirement OF max
ing the tax lists in duplicate, and in
lieu thereof making it the duty of the
auditor to check off or enter all duph-
cate tax receipts returned to him i'll a
column for that purpose in the treas
urer's tax lists. There are many things
to commend this system. The present
system of writing "a tax certificate for
every lot or tract OF land sold for de-
linauent taxes (about 5000 annually in
this county, is very expensive ana
worse than useless. 1t costs this
county for blanks aud the labor OF I'LL
ing them out about two hundred dol
lars annually as practically all of this
property is bid in by the county. In
lieu of the present system it is pro-
posed to make the record of tax sales,
which is required under the present
law. sufficient evidence of the sale, and
to issue tax certificates only when the
property is bid in by parties other than
the county, or when an assignment OF
the county's tax title is desired. A
thorough overhauling of our revenue
and assessment laws is much needed
and a saving of several hundred dollars
annually can be effected in this way
and our revenues can be materially in
creased without increasing the burden
of the taxpayer. Many other needed
tslittle' reforms are suggested to
county officer during four-years ser
vice, which with those before men.
toned would save this county at least
twelve hundred dollars annually. L
is important therefore that we send t
the legislature men who are familia
with the details of county affairs n
we'll as those who have had experienc
in matters of county affairs and O
legislation, and for this reason Messrs
Burke and Kelly can do much efticien
work.

PERSIAN RUGS OF IRISH MAKE
Deft Weavers of the Old Sod Turn On
q Perfect Imitatiau

Deft Weavers of the Old Sod Turn On
Perfect Imitation.
Just year ago some manufacturers
of artistic textiles touring In Donegal
resolved on establishing a place for the
making Of handtufted carpets OF tie
description generally known as Turk
ish" or Persian" The peculiarity of
this fabric Is that from Its nature il
must be a hand production. The tufts
are tied by the fingers in knots in longi-
tudinal warps, which are stretched be-
tween two long parallel beams The
carpets are made to the size and shap-
Of any room. The design Is placed in
front, and the girls. from three to a
dozen, according to the size of the car
pet, select the cOlOrs indicated row BY
row, which are tied then bound down
by shoots of wooden weft drawn
across the entire width and beaten firm
by small iron-tOethed hammers. There
is interesting variety and pleasure in
the work, and it is such that individual
skill and workmanship come largely
into play. Altogether. 1t Ia just such an
industry as is suited to the rural dis
tricts Of Ireland. No steam power
required, and there Is therefore no han
dicap on the commercial side by the
sbseuce of coal.
The first years experiment with the
Irish girls has proved that they are al
mirably adapted for the work. Tn,
girls show a nimbleness of fingers and
sharpness Of eye for color and form
that have quite astOnished their teach
ers. and they take to the work with
sp'r rit and cheerfulness quite refresh,
ing. So convinced are the promoter
of it's ultimate success that they have
planned out a broad scheme that viii
espread the work all over the west o.
Ireland and give employment to man,

whom he was chatting. We'll. let me

my career occurred in-but hold! on
second thought don't care to give any
names or dates. The facts, II you like,
were these: I was called by messenger
to a cheap boarding house one evening
to attend q man who was said to have
been hurt in a fight. found a young
fellow Of 25 or thereabouts, half dazed,
with q bloody confusion on one of his
cheeks and a badly broken nose. The
bridge was smashed almost dat with
the face and I saw at once that the
case would need very careful handling
to prevent great Disagreement. Not to
bother you with technical details,
confined myself that night to a superb
clal dressing, and deferred further pro
ceedings until next day. When called

hard work and was a person Of educa-
tion and refinement. took him for
the black sheep Of some good family.
but made no comments, and explained
briefly that I would try to restore his
nose as far Al possible by performing
q slight operation and inserting an arti
ficial support. To my establishment he
objected fatty. and insisted on letting

True Primeval Tongue of Man Unlik.
Any Language We Know.
The original speech, the true prim
eval tongue of man, was quite unlik
any language we have ever heard; ye
we have all talked it and all its ele
ments are present in the tongues Of to
day, says the Contemporary. The prim
eyal language WAS u vowel Language
altogether; 1t had no consOnants, o.
contacts, as We ought to call them, a
all. Its words consisted Of vOwe
sounds following each other, repeated
OF varied-of words like aeaea, aOao
ala, auau, aeoia, iaua, OiOi, ouOu, uaua
ueue, all Of which. l may say In pass
ing, are taken from a language In US,
to-day. The sentences were intermit
tent streams Of vOwels. each strean
held on SO long as the speakers breatl
allowed or whim dictated. When all
literature was recited. the same con
sideration. the capacity Of the lungs
determined the length Of the bardi:
line; so we have our shlokas, our hexa
meters, our Alexandrines and SO forth
eval tongue it was likewise, but tn,
sentences were vOwels only.
There are about ten or a dozen purt
vowels to 60 upon, and vowel word:
may run up to five syllables; SO W,
have a very considerable fund to draw
on for our vowel streams. And thes,
streams Of vowel speech cOrrespondeC
to and expressed streams Of emotion OF
feeling rather than descriptions Of con
crete objects. For we hardly realiz,
how terribly Overladen with materiai

what great demands we make on Ian
guage for concrete words. But our eA
clamations, each Of which indicates /.

CAMEO CARVING.

Brief Description Of the Tools and the
Method Employed.
All the tools used by the cameo
worker sits before q wheel turned by q
pedal: tools occupy a small corner Of
the table surface on which the work
er's hands rest while he holds the
shaped stone or shell beneath the
needle-like drill. The little pointed in
struments which are used to drill re-
semble those employed by a dentist.
and, indeed, 1t was from the cameo
carver's kit that the dentists got many
Of their ideas when the tools now in
use by them came to be manufactured,
thirty years ago. The drills vary in
thickness according to the portion OF
the figure or design to be executed;
some are as fine as the point Of a CAM
brio needle. A small china receptacle
also stands near. filled with oil and dia-
nIOnd dust. and into this the workman
frequently dips his tool during the
progress Of his work. The cameo cut
ters occupation is very exacting. He
can put in only few hours work at
time as usual thing. because of the
tension on his nerves. A Quavering
hand may be responsible for the single
stroke which will spoil n weeks work.
He must have an eye almost like a
microscope, and a very delicate touch; A;
he must be an artist Ia soul and as
skilled craftsman rs is watch
maker; he must know how to model
and draw, and he must have a knowl-
edge of chemistry so as to remove
offending spots. The work is executed
in relief, on many kinds Of hard or
precious stones, but essentially the
chalcedonic variety Of quartz, and on
shells. The cameo cutter himself pre-
fers onyx because OF its dark and light
layers. which throw out In bold relief
a white head. say against black
background. He evolves his picture By
removing all that portion of the white
stratum remaining after the head has
been completed. Sapphire blocks are
used. carnelian. turquoise. amethyst
and numerous other stones. 1t takes
about one month to execute a portrait
on onyx. while much less time is con
sumed IL the work In done on shell
There is always great danger OF the
latter breaking; and its durability. too
is not great. SO that shell. as a rule is
not as desirable as the harder materials.
A portrait on onyx will cost 5000, while
one In shell may be had for $50 The
Inquiries foe these are rare. and build
ing up patronage is slow. and Is ac-
complished mainly by satisfied custom
