THE TAILOR TENOR.
How the Great Rubini Came to Gull

Among the chorus singers OF the
theater of Bergamo, Italy, there
was tailor of very moderate
means and resources. who employed
all his talents and ability toward
the support of a beloved mother

The B fiat was accomplished and

An Aetr..s In Afrie.

seem to understand that black peo-
pie are men-thought it great fun
to 60 to kathr's kraal, peep in and
kiss her hand to the chief inside.

her, congratulated her on her safe
return, which they had reason to
do. = Random Recollections," by

Political Platforma.

No political party held national
convention prior to 1881 or adopted
. platform of principles prior to
1882. Before these dates nomina-
tions were made by congressional
csucuses and by the several legisla-
lures. The anti-Masonic party was
the first to hold national conven-
ton. This was convened in Balti-
more on Sept. 26, 1881. 1t named
William Writ for president, but
adopted no platform. This example
vas followed by the Wings, who met
in December of the same year and
put Henry Clay in nomination, but
framed no declaration of princi-
pies. 1t was not until the Demo
cratic party met in convention, also
IN Baltimore, on March 90, 1882,
that the modern custom of stating
the issues of the campaign was in
augurated.

The Effect of Wind on Lakes.

Attention has been called to the
very remarkable effect of the wind
on various inland bodies of water.
1t is not unusual for the residents
In towns on the shores of lakes to
be greatly lnconvenienced, provided
4 heavy wind blowing on shore con-
tinues for any length of time. In
the Baltic sea the level has been
altered for upward of eight feet.
Sometimes the water is blown out
of a channel, leaying it almost dry.
In one instance depression of six
feet occurred on one side of body
of water. with corresponding rise
of SIX feet on the other. Lake Erie
has been known to alter its level a
distance of fifteen feet on account
of heavy winds, and Lake Michigan
was at one time the subject of con-
siderable interest from the same
cause. The wind was heavy and
continuous and piled the water up
ON one side. while the other was so
low that people walked out upon
rocks where in the memory of man
no feet had ever trodden.

SMYRNA CARPETS.
Where They Are Woven and How They
Are Transported.

The celebrated Smyrna carpet
il not made in Smyrna. 1t is prod
uct of the vilayet of Adm, of which
SMYRNA is the capital. The chie1
places of manufacture are the VII
lagos of Uschak, koule. Ghiardls,
Makri, Melessos, Kirkagatsch, Axar
and Demirdji. The industry gives
employment to thousands of needy
people. especially women, who are
obliged to do the work almost en-
tirely. while the men spend their
time in the coffee houses drinking
strong coffee and smoking number
less cigarettes. all in true oriental
fashion. Little girls are compelled
to take up the work early, at seven
or ten years of age at the latest,
and they keep at it increasingly un-
til they go to their graves.
The market for the woods Is held
every Thursday from dawn to sun
set in the bazaar of Tschak. which
is then filled with purchasers, who
have arrived on buffaloes, camels,
donkeys and other picturesque
beasts of burden. The spun woods
are not dyed by the weavers them
selves, but by special dyers.
More than 5000 female weavers
are employed at Uschak in the prep
aration of carpets. The operators
are generally members of the same
family, but there are a number OF
girls who earn about 6 to cents
per dav. The Ghiardis carpets are
generally smaller than those of Us
chak. Very fine prayer carpets,
closely woven and of harmonious
colors, are produced in imitation OF
the Persian carpets.
The carpets are made into bales
of $50 pounds each and covered
with goatskins. The caravans pass
the night in the open country at the
foot of some hill, the drivers under
tents and the camels and their loads
in the open air. Very large carpets,
too heavy to be packed, are folded
and thrown across the backs of the
camels in the form of a covering.
When the carpets arrive in Smyrna
they are spread out, beaten, broom
ed and repacked in bales weighing
500 to 600 pounds each for exporta-

ers away is by building one of these
fences Of oktea. shrub covered with
thorns which grows on the desert.
As the tents have no doors and are
not set much above the ground. ii
would appear easy for Mr.. Rather to
effect an entrance. Imagine the sensa,
ton Of crawling into bed some cold
night to strike against the clammy
skin of snake, and this is just where
Mr.. Snake likes to snuggle. in among
the warm blankets.
To avoid this men who work IL the
mines have found that snake will
not go near this oktea, and they have
built closely knit fences around their
tents, with little gates to 90 in and
out, and beyond this the ratter will
not penetrate. 1t was first the In
dians Of the desert who discovered this
deadly shrub. and they got the secret
from birds and animals. which to pro-
tect their young. travel sometimes
many miles back and forth. bringing
the thorns with which to cover their
little nests. Gophers and other small
animals there cover their nests in this
manner.
