POISON IN ORIENTAL RUGS
Salesman in Philadelphia Store Dies
of Blood Disease from Hand
ling Importations.

A salesman employed in the rug de-
partment of a bic Philadelphia store
died of blood poisoning the other day,
and since then no one in the establish
ment is permitted to handle any new
importations that have not been fuml-
gated unless gloves are worn. The
salesman in question had scratched
one of his fingers with a pin, and the
supposition is that IN opening a bale
of rugs that had just come from the
Orient he had become inoculated with
poison, which resulted fatally.
TITS a wonder to me-" said a friend
Of the victim, that such cases are not
more common. l have travelled through
Turkey and Armenia, where most of
the rugs are manufactured on hand
looms amid filth and squalor almost
indescribable, where the most loath-
some of diseases are everywhere in
evidence. These products, while beau
tiful from an artistic point of view,
may readily carry germs to other
countries that might spread all sorts
of horrible contagion."

REMEDY FOR MOSQUITOES.
London Women Discover That San
dalwood Is Excellent Way of
Getting Rid of Pests.

London women have discovered an
agreeable way Of Kidding their homes OF
flies and mosquitoes, says the Chicago
Tribune. They burn sandalwood in the
house, an idea imported from the orient.
In London it is possible to get wood pre-
pared for the purpose. In America it is
to be had at almost any Turkish or Japa-
nese importing house. 1t is then pre-
pared for burning by being first cut into
small pieces on-half inch thick and
three inches long.
Then it is baked or dried out ina~slow
oven "a hours. A piece Of the wood is
put into a metal urn, lighted and allowed
to burn until well afiame. when the flame
is extinguished and the redhot ember
left to smolder until the wood is con-
stmed and nothing is left but q heap Of
flpe gray ashes.

SETTLING MEXICAN STRIKE
Vigorous Means Used by Government
in Ending Notwithstanding
Claims Easily Secured.

'Strikes are unknown in the Mexican
mines" said DR.. Frank j. Toussaint, to- a
Milwaukee sentinel man, in speaking
about conditions in Mexico, where he
spends considerable of his time. while
down on my recent trip to Huepac, So
nora, / heard of an attempt to strike,
The men, urged On by a number of asi-
tators, formulated a protest against
their hours and wages and threatened to
go out on a strike If their demands were
not complied with. The operators
scarcely had time to look over the de-
mands made by the men when word
came from the government in Mexico
City to arrest the agitators immediate
ly. Those who hailed from the states
were unceremoniously deported, and the
Mexican miners who had been led by
these unionizers went back to their work
or, to speak properly, they contin-
ued their work, as they had not yet quit
work. To get a mining claim in Mexico
is the easiest thing in the world; all

aginary line around as much of a tract
as you want and then make your de-
nouncement. This costs you $3.50. A
surveyor will then be sent out and meas
ure off as many rods as you want. He
will take about 800 for his services
The plat which he prepares now goes
to the capital and in. due course of tins
you will be asked to pay4a tax equal tc
about $40 for a parcel of land the siz;
of a city block. This tax must be naiS
annually, and as long as you do this YOU
will be considered the owner of that

SUITS AGAINST THE
NAUTICAL .~SCHOOLSHIp.
Parents Want their Tuition Back
and Teacher Waat Their
Pay.

The affairs of the nautical prepnr-
tory %schoolship Pennsylvania were
discussed Monday in a hearing in the
United States District Court in Rho1e
Island on a petition to have the
schoolship corporation declared kept.
After hearing the arguments Judge
Brown dismissed the petition on the
ground that the court did not have
jurisdiction.
AS a result Of the abandonment OF
the enterprise before the ship had act
ually left port, although she had
offiicallv sailed as far as Bristol,
numerous suits were brought against
the school. Mr.. j.. O. Vaudeville, of
Carrolton, Ga, sought to recover
81, $50, which he had paid for his son E
tuition. Howard M. Rice, one of the
chief instructors, claimed So, 800 for
salary. Mr.. Buck, another teacher,
demanded So, 600 OIL a contract. There
we're several other suits of a similar
nature.
These claimants filed p petition in
bankruptcy against the %schoolshir
corporation and the hearing on that
petition took place Monday. Counsel
for the petitioners and for the school
agre3d on certain facts concerning the
corporation. One was its capitalize.
tion at $500, 600, of which one.hali
consisted Of 5000 shares of common
stock, par value $50, issued to George
H. Eiswald, Charles II. Rowland and
Charles r. Harlow. The stock still
stands in the names of these three
men. The other half of the capitaliza-
ton consisted of /, 800 shares of pre-.
ferred stock at 800, par value, to be
issued only as o bonus to the sub.
scribers of the bonds.
The schoolship corporation denied
that it has wei been engaged princi.
pally in trading or mercantile pur-
suits, and commended that 1t was not
therefore such a corporation ms might

INVENTORS ARE VERY BUSY
Are Contriving All Sorts of Useful
Things for the Domestic
Department.

In this, the electrical age, no new house
is considered complete unless it be fitted
with electrical lighting circuits. wheth-
er the owner intends to use electricity
or gas as an illuminant And yet the in
candescent lamp has been iu practical
use but little over a score of years. But
aside from its utility for Illuminating a
building and for running an electric fan.
the electric circuit offers many other
advantages which the public is only just
beginning to appreciate. says the Scien-
tific American. A variety of uses Of the
electric current serves in an up-to-date
home The fatiguing treadmill opera
tion of the sewing machine is done away
with and the work is performed by lit
tie electric motor about foot high and
six or seven inches broad, which gets its
power from the ordinary lighting cir
cult and, changing this 20 mechanical
movement, transmits it to the sewing
machine through friction wheel bear
ing on the starting wheel Of the machine.
The speed can. be very delicately regu
lated by means of a small lever and the
machine can be as quickly started or
stopped as by foot power The operator
can assume an easy, comfortable posi-
tion. as the only duty required is to steer
the cloth under the needle. Even an in
valid can safely operate machine thus
driven.
The electrically heated fatiron pos
sesses the advantage Of maintaining an
even temperature. which continues as
long as the device Is connected with the
electric circuit. The iron heats up in a
few minutes and is very handy, especial
" for occupants of fats and apartments
in laundering small articles. 1t is also
particularly useful for putting a crease
in a pair Of trousers and smoothing out
the wrinkles in coat and vest.
An electric "hot water" bag might bet
ter be termed "hot wire" bag. for in
stead OF being filed with hot water II
contains coils Of fine flexible wire which
are heated on passing the current
through them. The bag heats up in five
minutes. and as is the case of the cleo
9ric fiatiron, il possesses the advantages
OF yielding a uniform degree Of heat as
long as It is in use. This is certainly a
long step in advance Of the hot water
bags now commonly used, which have to
be reflled with hot water every 15 or 20
minutes, and even then a uniform heat
IS not maintained
Electric curling iron heaters are to be
found on the dressing tables Of many
fashionable hotel bedrooms. They are
small and neat and they work automat-
ically The slipping Of the iron into the
heating chamber turns the current on
and the Withdrawing Of the ironbturns
Il OF. They are popular because they
do away with black smears Of SCOT that
the heating Of curling iron IN flame
Of gas occasions.
