PERSIAN RUGS.
Safe Rifle by which To Distinguish
the Genuine Ones.

the Uenuine Oness
A great many persons flatter them
selves that they are able to tell gen.
uine Persian rug from a spurious ma
chine made one by touch, but in this
they deceive themselves. The best and
strest way to tell n genuine from an
Imitation Persian rug is the following:
If one will look closely, one will OBJ
Perve that in the genuine Persian rug
the intricate and complicated pattern
or design Is not altogether symmetric-
al, the corresponding flowers, vines or
geometrical figures of one side being
q little out of line, larger or smaller
or not meeting and pointing with fig
ures on the cores bonding detail on the
opposite side of the rug. This is owing
to the fact that in hand weaving it is
impossible to obtain perfect symmetry
of patterns, especially when the de-
signs are as complicated as they are
on Persian rugs. on the other hand.
let one examine closely the machine
made rug, and one will find the most
perfect symmetry of pattern, so much
so in fact that the design looks posi-
lively rigid and harsh. This pretty
safe guide, and If observed one will
seldom mistake an imitation for a gen.
pine Persian rug.

The Fairy Lampiighter.

Affection often inspires ingenuity.
In life of Joseph Severn the narra-
tive of the artists care of the poet
graceful incident. Severn, worn out
with watching and tireless service,
would sometimes drop asleep and al
low the candle to go out, thus leaving
the sick man in darkness, which he
dreaded. Realizing that this was liza
lle to occur, Severn hit upon a happy
device to keep the light still burning.
One evening he fastened thread from
the bottom of the candle already light
ed to the wick at the top of another
unlighted one set ready near by.
Not being sure the experiment would
succeed, he had not mentioned it, and
when later on he fell mapping as the
first candle was burning low the in
valid was too considerate to awake
him, but lay patiently awaiting the eX-
tinction of the flutterlng flame. Sud-
denly, just as he expected gloom and
blackness. the connecting thread-too
fine and distant for him to see-caught
fire. and tiny spark began to run
along it. Then he walked the sleeping
nurse with an exclamation of joyful
surprise.
"Severn! Severn!' he cried. Here's
h little fairy lamplighter actually lit
up the other candle!"
But it was only the good fairy of
many sickrooms-loving forethought-
that had lighted the candle.

Flowers of the Cranberry.

One of the daintiest of wild flowers
of June is the blossom of that time
honored concomitant Of roast turkey,
the cranberry. While, however, every
body knows the berry, few are ac-
quainted with the flower, for the peat
bogs where it blows in the choice fell
lowship of the stately pitcher plant
and the golden club and Of many a
rare orchid are quite remote from the
beaten paths of travel. The cranberry
plant is small, slender, somewhat
trailing shrub, with the neatest of
evergreen leaves, from amid which a
few threadlke stalks lift their nodding
flowers. When fully expanded, the
pink lobes of each corolla are curled
back like a lily's, and from the heart
of them the compressed stamens pro-
trude in the shape of spear point or
beak. The imaginative may see in
this long beaked little blossom re-
semblance TO tiny cranes head,
whence some hard pressed etymologist
has thought TO derive the word cram
berry-that is, crare-berry.-"Country

Syrian Asphalt.

Asphalt is found in the provinces of
Syria on the banks of the Dead sea
floating on the surface Of its waters.
Through the action of earthquakes the
asphalt has been torn from the bottom
of the sea and driven toward the shores,
especially to the east. The narratives
of the Greek and Roman historians to
the effect that asphalt as small islands
was upheld by the salt water and driv-
en- over the surface of the sea are with
out doubt true. This asphalt and gen.
orally the oriental or Egyptian is pure
and expensive and used principally in
the manufacture of certain kind of
varnish, but for general purposes, ow-
ing to its brittleness as WELL is useless
in the asphalt industry. - American

"Low bookshelves, says a furniture
dealer, who is lover Of books as well,
''have an origin in reason besides the
caprice Of fashion. Heat is injurious
to the binding of choice books, drying
out the natural oil of the leather and
making them warp and get out Of
shape. Most rooms are very warm in
the upper parts, and these five and six
foot bookcases are necessity rather
than q notion. Cold is as hard on

He Got the Guinens.

A pretty story is told of an English
nobleman whom his barber left half
shaved and in great hurry. His lord
sent to inquire after him.
He returned in person and thus eX-
planned himself: 81 was not mad, my
lord, but the sight of that heap of
guineas on your dressing table and
the remembrance of my starving fam
lily so affected me that If had stayed
another minute l should have cut your

his lordship gently, 'and by all means
take the guineas. l won them at the
gambling table and should doubtless
have lost them there"

May Day Custom In Belgium.

The most honored month of the year
in Belgium is the month Of May,
known as the Virgins month and con-
secrated to the Virgin Mary. In the
province of Liege young maidens have
a quaint way Of predicting their love
affairs this month. A group of girls
arrange to meet at sunrise and start
to walk through the fields until they
come to hedge, quite unobserved
from the highway, where they gen.
orally choose q honeysuckle bush be-
meath the protecting branches of
which to perform their mystic opera
lions. Each maiden selects three
blades of dew laden grass, the tops of
which she cuts to equal length and to
each of which she attaches colored
silken thread. Black represents a
bachelor, red an unknown lover and
green the secret desires of the maid
ems heart. Ten days afterward they
return to the same spot where they
left the blades growing, and that blade
of the three chosen which has sur
passed the others in height reveals the
lover the maiden is destined to have

tall, standing a head or more above
their mothers, has been remarked on
over and over again and been made
the subject of learned dsquisitions vet

Now comes a London physician of
note and says that it is simply case

but their diet. In fact, statistics of re-

Great Britain and America are the
