Marriage Among Persian Nomads.

An interesting custom prevails
among the nomad tribes Of Persia.
Before becoming eligible for marriage
every girl has to prove her skill by
weaving two very fine rugs or saddle
bags. 1t is this class Of work which Is
particularly priced in Europe and
America. In 1904 a law was re-enacted
by the Persian Government by which
the customs department was instructed
to seize and burn all carpets in the
manufacture of which aniline dyes
were used. A total cessation of ex-
ports resulted, and owing to the hard
ship inflicted by this decree the manu-
facturers were granted a certain period
of grace in which to dispose Of their
stocks Of carpets.

Important MovemeA: in Advertising.

Important MovemeA: in Advertising.
The creation of a General Advertis-
ing Department for the New York Cen.
trail Lines, and the placing in charge
of that department the veteran rail-
road advertiser, George II. Daniels,
who has been for nearly twenty years
the General Passenger Agent Of the
New York Central Railway, marks an
era in the history of advertising in
America.
The New York Central Lines are the
first great system to create an adver.
Using department which covers all the
railways in their systems, and the far
reaching consequences of such a move.
ment cannot be appreciated at first
sight, but this action on the part Of the
management of these lines emphasizes
the value of advertising generally, and
forces the conclusion of a strong belief
IN the efficacy of railroad advertising
in particular.
Some idea of the Importance of this
new department can be had when 1t is
understood that it will control the gen.
eral advertising in America and In
foreign countries of the New York Cen.

and Michigan Southern, Michigan Cen.
trail. Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and
st. Louis. Rutland, and Lake Erie and
Western Railways and their leased
lines, having their Western terminals
at Chicago, ST. Louis and Cincinnati,
and their Eastern terminals at New
York. Boston and Montreal, and en-
bracing more than twelve thousand
miles of the best equipped railways In
the world.
Mr.. Daniels has for many years been
a firm believer in newspaper and maya.
zine advertising. and, therefore, the
organization of the Central Advertis.
ing Department of the New York Cen.
trail Lines is of Importance to every
legitimate publication in America,
daily, weekly OF monthly.
In an address before the New York
State Press Association a few years
ago, Mr.. Daniels made the point that
the railroad is the advance agent of
m and that railroad advertis.
ing had been of immense value to
American manufacturers in calling the
attention of the whole world to the
excellent work done by our inventors
and mechanics, as illustrated in the
Empire State Express, the Twentieth
Century Limited, and other great trains
that connect the East with the West;
the average foreigner arguing that the
men who are able to turn out such ma.
chimes must be able to build almost
anything, and that the farm machinery,
and all kinds of Industrial machinery
made in America, must be of the very
best quality. Railroad advertising has
certainly been the means Of bringing
thousands of men here from foreign
countries to investigate our manufac.
lures and has wonderfully increased
Dur foreign commerce.
Every legitimate newspaper and
magazine publication in America will
have a direct interest in the General
Advertising Department of the New
York Central Lines. and every adver-
Using agent on the continent will take
a new lease of life because of this en-
dorsement of the value Of advertising.

MILD WINTERS AND CROPS.
The Present Season and the Wheat
Outlook.

Chicago, Ill.-Despite the cold wave
of this week, with snowfall here and
there, it is the abnormally warm win
ter as a whole. Over the greater part
of the country there has been no
zero weather. so far, and throughout
the central West and over the winter
wheat belt no severe weather to do
material damage to the crop. 1t must
be kept in mind that the improved
methods of farming have been bene-
fetal. The winter wheat is drilled in
to the ground; this season it secured
a good root, and thus is enabled to
Withstand a great deal of freezing and
thawing without damage. There is
some damage in spots, but in the last
ten years losses from this cause have
been small as compared with others.
This winter the wheat crop has had no
snow covering to last more than a day
or two, and will be subjected to more
hardships than the average crop.
