Making Carpets in India.

The finest carpets in India are pro.
duced at Amritsar. and between 1000
and 5000 people are engaged in their
manufacture. These operators are not
collected in factories as with us, but
work in their own homes. The looms
are usually set up in the doorways,
through which the only light can en-
ter the houses, and as you pass up
and down the streets you see women
and men, even children, at work at
the looms. for every member of the

Stabbed in the back with a great
two-edged knife that pierced her
lungs, and slashed in the throat until
her jugular vein was severed, to

The aged father made a hurried
search of the house, realizing his
daughter would not have left the
house unlocked. In her room he
found her, lying full length upon the
floor beside her bed, with arms out
stretched, fully dressed for the street,
even to hat and jacket, and he saw

Russian General Stan Declares Japan-
 ese Have Reached High Mark.
 St. Petersburg, Dec IA The general staff apparently is entirely satisfied with the military situation in Manchu- ria, being convinced that the Japanese have reached their high tide. A high cificel said to the Associated Press to- day:
 he Japanese army is unique in nnili- tary history and probably the strongest in the world, combining the strength of barbarism with civilization, drawing from both the former fanatical bravery and scorn of death. and from the latter the latest knowledge of the science of war. We have been fighting them un- Ger heavy handicaDs, but have at last definitely stopped them. They have missed the psychological moment They should now be at Harbin, with Vladi- yostok and the Eastern littoraI cut off and de facto theirs, instead of winter- ing where they are. The cold is Rus- sia' s ally now, as it was against Napo- leon. The Japanese cannot endure ex- treme cold like the Russians. They are not strong enough to attempt to turn Mukden now, and will not be, even if Port Arthur falls and 5o,000 reinforce lnents are sent up to join Field Marshal Oyama.
 In the mean time Russian troops are piling up behind Mukden. In Febru- ary, before the port of Niu Chwang is ice free, General Kuropatlin will have close upon half a million men disposed in three armies, amply sufficient to turn Oyama's position at the Shakhe river and force the Japanese back into Korea and the Liaotung peninsula. 2

 Again at 6 o'clock in the morning of the same day torpedo flotilla, under Commander Seki attempted an attack, but was exposed by the enemy's search lights and being subjected to heavy fire, was unable to accomplish this pur- pose.
