A LINE o. TYPE OR TWO.

The summer days go swiftly by
The busy bee and festive fly improve
the shining hour each day and spend
but little time in play.
The bee puts honey in it's hive:
the ants and other insects thrive; the
locust sounds its stringent gong the
crickets sing their merry song.
In August when the skies are fair
and heat and dust are In the air, it's
nice to seek some shady nook with
nine. tobacco and book and read
and cmoke and loaf and dose, and let
the flies crawl up your nose or rest
down in some shady dell where he
mosquitoes buzz!
IT'S nice to take your hook and line
and then pretend the fishings nne,
and down beside some forest stream
lie lazily and rest and dream.
This lying by some stream you'll
find, Is Of a safe and harmless KIND
besides the lying you will hatch about
the fish you didn't catch!
In August succotash is ripe, and
apples give the boys the grippe. YOUNG
chickens simmer in the pot-they
brown best when the grease is hot.
| fain would leave the city's din and
visit with my country kin, where
scores of chicken can be found that
don't cost cents pound!
| fain would leave the town and go
where corn and beans and chickens
grow; where watermelons on the vine
in emeraldic beauty shine where mar
vest apples one can see like globes O
gold upon the tree, and where the
cows, if they be wise, stand in the
pond to fight the flies.

Loves Way.

LOVES way.
Love makes the heart SO light, so light,
Like thistle down its upward fight;
Earth seems so very far away,
And heaven 80 very near the day.
Love comes a-knocking at our door,
And whispers all his cunning lore
Care cannot hurt. nor sorrow blight
The heart that love has made SO light.
Love makes the world so bright, SO
bright,
AS silvery moonbeams do the night:
Though storms may come and winds may
blow,
As through this weary world we go,
Love sees the sun behind the cloud,
Nor cares IL north winds blnster loud
So much there is that gives delight.
In the world love makes 90 bright
7 owe makes the way SO clear, so clear;
No stumbling In the dark. no fear.
The path before me lies SO straight,
And at the end the shining gate.
II is so easy to do right,
TO toll, to hope, to climb the height,
Since | have walked with you, my dear,
Along the way love makes so clear

The Mlburn Club received last week
an invitation to pass the afternoon and
evening of Dec. 29 as the guests of the
Somerset Club in Pittsficld. After due
consideration it was decided that it
would be more convenient for the
members to so one week later so the
date of the visit has been changed to
January ). a committee has been ap-
pointed consisting of Elmer F.. Nc
Neciic, Fred c. Dow and ID. a. Haig to
make the necessary arrangements.
These have not yet been fully complct-
ed, but it seems probable that IL spc-
cial train will be chartered for the
round trip, leaving here at about one
o'clock Friday afternoon, returning
sometime Saturday morning During
the afternoon there will be Il pool con-
tcst between the crack players of both
clubs and in the evening a banquet
will be rendered the visiting clubmen
at the Lancy House. 1t is expected
that 30 or more members of the local
club will avail themselves of the invi-
tation.

The Oriental Carpet.

The interesting fact that the prcsi-
dent Of an Insurance company has q
$1,000 Oriental carpet on the floor of his
Office is an Inspiration. There was Il
time when these carpets were almost
unknown i'll France and England, eX-
cept for the thrones Of royal person
ages and the altars Of great cathedral
churches. 1t is said that Quccn Flea
nor of CASTLE in tho thirteenth century
was the first who used carpets for do
mCStic purposes. They are How 50
Con.E.Cn that you sec them i'll almost

Fifth avenue, between Twenty Third
street and FOrtY-SoCond street. is Il

and all the large department stores in

Oriental carpets.

Attempts are made from time to time
to Introduce Western machinery in the

the result that Western taste is RAPIDLY

glorious rich coloring which character

for next year are far in excess of any
PREVIOUS record and chartering has been
early and rapid. Already about 10.o0o.0O0
tonnage has been contracted for; the
Steel Corporation will carry l2,oo0.ooo
ions in its own fleet and will contract for
s, 100000 more tonnage. Freight rates re-
main as during the season just closed.
The real test Of the iron and steel mare
ket will come in January. The holiday
season has brought a period of compare
tive quiet to the industry, but even this is
broken to an unusual extent by requests
for spot shipments or antlclpatlons on
1906 contracts by foundrymen who find
they underestimated their requirements
and are already suffering. Prices remain
firm and inquiries from uncovered con-
suIners fer the first hall of the year intii-
cate willingness at least to comply with
present quotations. Buyers are be-
coming more and moro uneasy at tht
prospect of a winter iron famine. Prices
firmly established are $40 Valley fur
mace for Bessemer. $40 for Easic, and
s14aO for No. foundry Southern at
Birmingham. Structural and other fin
ished materials are in good demand and
others are satisfactory though deliveries
are impossible for several months. Iron
pipe has been advanced ten per cent, and
wire products are expected to follow
Plates and steel bars are sold so far
ahead that an advance would bring no
early benefits to the producers. Crude
steel is 50 scarce that purchasers who use
it for making finished materials are con-
sidering the erection of their own plants.
Fcrro- manganese is as much sought as
ever. A small lot offered recently by
auction brought a. bid of $50 per ton,
which was refused.

Sermons pertaining to Christmas
were delivered in all the local churches
Sunday morning. The attendance was
uniformly large, the discourSes were
closely listened to by congregations
filled with the true Christmas spirit
and the musical programs formed an
interesting and pleasing part of the
ceremonies of the day.
AT the Island avenue Congregations

Persian carpet. improves with age
Consequently every care should be
taken to preserve n valuable carpet,
and so hand it down as an heirloom in
the family.
In Fifth avenue store | was shown
a mere strip of carpet from the
Province of herman which was valued
at $3.50, and small rug from Tabriz
which would sell for $500.
The patterns of these carpets are for
the most part geomctrical, although
flowers are frequently introduced.
was not aware that any large number
of carpets were woven in Hcrat, the
Persian province of Afghanistan. But
| found d carpet said to have come
from Herat, selling at $175, the pattern
of which was that which we find in Il
Cashmere shawl. This design is tax
en- from the peculiar winding of the
RIVER Jhclum, the ancient Hydaspes.
All Oriental carpet, with figures OF
lions, tigers and birds must always be
viewed with suspicion, because the Mo-
hammcdans object to the figures of
animals, and very few will allow a
carpet of this design in a palace or q
mosque But a very large number are
manufactured specially for the West
ern trade.
The Moslom prayer rug is a common
article of commerce and is sold III large
quantities by the merchants of Con-
stLntinople. In their original pur-
pose these rugs are used exclusively
for prayer, and while you find them in
our Western parlorS for domestic use,
they are always reserved in Moslem
countries for the dcvotions of the faith
fUl. When on journey the dcvout
Moslom takes with him one Of these
carpets and unfot!S it at the hour of
prayer. In some Of the New York
stores there are very beautiful and
costly prayer rugs imported from all
rar:s of The Oriental world.
Fcits, or as they are called in the
East, "namdas," are madc i'll Persia.
The material consists Of all kinds Of
wool mixed tCgcti."r. Tho color is
generally brown, but the surface Oh one
side is ornamcntcd with gconctrcal
designs and inlaid in the numda.

IN order to supply tho great demand
OF Western markets they are now
manufacturing all kinds of slilen cur
pets i'll various parts of India, especial
ly i'll the province Of bengal. where the
silk worm ai3oundS. These fabrics;
are Of tW" KINDS, those composed OF
pure silk and th"s" with a cotton warp
crossed uy 1t Wu0f OF silk. The mixed
fabrics arc only used i'm Moslom roUn-
trics because the prophet strictly for-
bHdc the use Of pure silk as the en-
bicm Of luxury.
Large mills with steam machinery
have been established ut Bombay
which weave silk fabrics for the East
ern markets, and it is here that very
many Oriental carpets are also manu-
fuctured for sale i'll London and New

Icachinn Table Manners.

Unless parents are extremely par
! tiCular little children rarely have good
! table manners, and tho Youngsters eat
like young animals let loose upon food.
| Il is neither pleasant nor agreeable.
and il permitted it will take years to
| overcome what was such a short time
III becoming a habit. on the other
| fani. when children are trained into
table etiquette they never forget ii,
and this part of daily social lie is
rlcasanter i'll consequence. Eating at
hest is not the most attractive per-
Torrance to see, and no effort should
be spared to make il umobjcctiona3lc.
Ono of the first things that 4 child
should be taught is to cit erect at table
even if loafing is permitted ut other
tines. The reason for ii at mealt1mc
particularly is obvious, when one no
ticcS tho spotted pinaforcS OF children
CT coats or waists of adults who do not
pay attention enough to this detail.
and who il they have the ni---rtuEc to
spill q drop from Z spoon have it fall
suuar"iy upon themselves. If Il par
tiCle drops from the fork Of n person
sitting up properly it will fail to tn"
pii;c.
Another trick common. not only to
many children bot even to Older per
sons, is to cat with one elbow on the
table, bringing the mouth down 10
mo"t the food, not raising the arm
sufficiently to prevent hcndinG the head.
This is awkward and very bad form,
but it is astonishing how frequently
one sees it done. Thcrc arc no rOndi-
tinnS under which tho head should be
stopped for food. il is too much like all
animal.
The matter Of eating bread and but
ter sounds !;inrlt, but children arc al
lowed to do it in n Ghockingly Slovcn-
ly manner. They take up whole
slice of bread, and holding it in the
I,1lm Of the left hand proceed to
spread it with butter. This is any
thing hut dainty or good manners, and
If child is to have a slice the bread
should be cut in tWo and folded over.
Ii a whole slice is to he buttcrCd at once
IT must be kept on the plate and not
held in the hand. To cat half circles
out Of 4 whole slice is another breach
of etiquette. A child may cat from
a half slice, but a grown person should
always break bread piece by piece, and
never bite from it.
How to use napkin properly is a
thing that should be taught to every
child. While the whole square Of linen
Is not to be covered over the face at
ono time, neither is just one corner to
be used. as one SO frequently sees done.
1t should be pulled from the lap and
raised without seeming to be pulled,
one part still resting in the lap, but
moro than a corner being used.
Managing a knife and fork is most
important. Children are not the only
ones who clutch them half way UP the
handles so that ends project awkward
ly from the back of the hand, a posi-
ton that should never be tolerated.
Both implements should be held so the
entire handles OF each are in the hands,
the fingers several inches from the
base of the forks tines, and the fore
finger of the right hand placed just
where the blade joins the handle. FL
bows are to be held close to the body
without being cramped.
