Delft Weavors the Old Sod Turn Out
 Perfect Imitation.
 Just Q year ago some manufacturers of artistic textiles touring in Donegal resolved on establishing a place for the making of hand-tufted carpets of the description generally known as Turkish" or Persian" The peculiar ity of this fabric is that from it's na- ture it must be a hand production. The tufts are tied by the fingers in knots In longitudinal Warps, which are stretched between two long parallel beams. The carpets are made to the size and shape of any room The de. sign is placed in front and the girls from three to 6 dozen. according to the size of the carpet, select the colors indicated row by row, which are tied. then bound down by shoots" of wool- en Veft ftraWn across tie entire width and beaten firm by small ir0n-t0Othed hammers. There is interesting variety and pleasure 1G the work, and 1t Is euch that individual skill and work manship come largely into play. Alto- gether, 1t is just such an industry as $ suited to the rural districts of Ire land. Nc steam power is required and thero is therefore no handicap on tha commercial side by the absence of coal. The first years experiment. @ith tha Irish girls has proved that they are ad- mirably adapted for the work The girls show Q nimbleness of fingers and sharpness of eye for color and forH that have quite astonished their teach- CTS and they take to the work with g spirit and cheerfulness quite refresh- ing. So convinced are the promoters of it's ultimate success that they hay1 planned out broad scheme that will spread the work al1 oyer the west of Ireland and give employment to many hundreds Of girls and boys.-London Furniture Record.

LoNDoN's LARGE POPULATION
It IL Greater Than That Of Any State
In Our Union Except New York.

IN Our Union Except New York.
London's outer belt has fulfilled the
predictions made In these columns and
even exceeded them slightly. 1t brings
the total population Of the city up to
the enormous figure. 6.57S,74S For the
outer belt alone the Increase is IS per
cent In ten years. For the entire dis
trict 1t Is 16 ITO per cent.
On the first showing Of the inner city
some amusing calculations were made in
New York on the time when that NUM-
cipality was to pass London. 1t may be
well. therefore. to call attention to the
fact that all New York state has a
population Of only 7,26s. 1912. Furthermore
1t is the only state in the Union whose
population exceeds London's, Pennsyl-
yania following with 6,302.115.
Outside of the United States there are
but two countries OF the western hemi-
sphere which have a greater number Of
Inhabitants than the worlds metropolis,
Brazil and Mexico. The one state Of the
German empire which enjoys this dis
tinction is Prussia. Belgium may have
larger population now, but at the last
census its total was less than London's
today by half a million. The Neither
lands. Portugal. Sweden. Norway.
Greece. Denmark. Switzerland and the
DdnuOlan pEanclpaHtleS are All out
ranked.
There is still another comparison
which will perhaps indicate more vivid
~ what a tremendous start London has
upon other cities. If we add New York,
Newark. Jersey City, Paterson. Hobo
ken and Elizabeth, which lie not far
over the Jersey line, we shall get a
population of only 4,1O6.37O If we add
to this the population OF Buffalo, Ro-
chester, Syracuse and Albany we shall
get only 4,S2s,S90. Thus New York, with
the nine congested centers added. falls
short Of London by 1,754, 1894. II she
could double her area and annex the
New Jersey towns her case would be
hopeless for years to come, though her
area would then be nearly equal to that
of the Greater London. But such an
annexation is impossible. and elsewhere
there is no large population to acquire.
She must depend primarily on her SUI
perior rate Of increase, which Is not apt
to maintain the gait of the last decade.
Paris has had a big population on, a
very small area, more than $500. 900 ON
thirty square miles. But even If her
area were equal to New York's 30S
square miles, or to London's $50 square
miles she could not compete with the
British capital. That mammoth town
defies competition. both in ancient and
modern times, for Rome was not as
populous city as New York even in the
days of her greatest grandeur-Chfcago

CHOSEN FRIENDS 1FF,AIRS.
Suit for $30,0QO Damages Against
 Baltimore Deposit Company.

Baltimore, Aug. 5.-Cyrus J. Clark and Andrew c. Trippe, receivers of the supreme council of the Order of Chosen Friends, brought suit in the court of common pleas to-day against the Fidel- ity and Deposit company of Maryland asking for 1000 damages for alleged non-fulfillment of contract. The bill all leges that on October 1, 1895, the Fidel- ity and Deposit company bonded Will liam B. Wilson of Newark, N. l., su- preme treasurer of the Order of Chosen Friends, in the sum of S3O,00O. The premium on the bond, amounting to $40 annually, was duly paid up to the year 1900. In the meantime, the bill says the order sustained loss of SEA- coo through the dishonesty of Wilson, but the guaranty company has refus- ed to-Hay over the amount of the bond. The Order of Chosen Friends passed into the hands of a receiver on Decem- Der 31, 1900.
