"Smyrna Carpets.S
BY UNITED STATES CONSUL E. L.
HARRIS.

The celebrated Smyrna car, pet" is
not made in Smyrna; it is product
of the vilayet of Aidin, of which
Smyrna is the capital The chief
places of the manufacture are the
villages of Uschak, Koule, Ghiardis.
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 entire
ly, while the men spend their time in
the coffee houses drinking strong cof-
fee and smoking numberless cigar
cites, 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 until they go to their
graves.
The market for the woods is held
every Thursday from dawn to sunset
in the bazaar of Uschak, which is
then filled with purchasers who have
arrived on buffaloes, camels, donkeys
and other picturesque beasts of bur-
den. The spun woods are not dyed
by the weavers themselves but by
special dyers.
More than 1000 female weavers
are employed at Uschak in the prepa-
ration of carpets. The operators are
generally members of the same fam
lily, but there are a number of girls
who earn about six to seven cents
per day. The Ghiardis carpets are
generally smaller than those of
Uschak. Very fine prayer carpets,
closely woven and of harmonious col
ors, 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
might 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 cam
els in the form Of covering. When
the carpets arrive in Smyrna they are
spread out, beaten, broomed and re-
packed in bales weighing 500 to
900 pounds each for expectation.

No Market For Empty Cigar Boxes.

A pile of empty cigar boxes
reached nearly to the ceiling in a
Main street cigar store.
Were giving them away for kind
ling wood" the dealer said. There
is no market for empty cigar boxes.
Cigar factories pay two cents or more
apiece for them, and when once used
they are worthless. The Government
places a revenue stamp upon them
and specifies that they shall not be
used again for cigars. AS a result
thousands are burned every day.
Some of them are pretty, too, and all
are perfectly made" Kansas City

TO CLEAN A GREASY SINK.

When the sink becomes greasy, es-
pecially one of those made of glazed
ware, instead of spending hours Of
labor with soda and water in endeav-
oring to clean it, put little parain
oil on piece of flannel, and rub the
sink with it. 1t will remove all grease,
thus saving much time and labor.
The smell Of parafin can be easily
removed by washing with hot water
and soap, and then flushing with cold
water. At the same time, this will
also clean the pipes.

A miner, accompanied by his mate,

A Novel Social Event at Kellettyille.

On April LIST Miss Edna +. Johnson, of
Kellettville, gave an April Fool Dinner
to a number of her lady friends, the menu
consisting of chicken soup, pickles,
crackers, chicken, mashed potatoes,
gravy, celery, stewed peas, tomatoes,
butter, cheese, coffee, jelly, ice cream and
cake.
We can imagine the surprise of the
guests when seated, to be served with
soup in teacups, the pickles in the sugar
bowl, and the chicken arranged on silver
cake dishes. The mashed potatoes came
in in dainty glass berry dishes and the
gravy in small sauce dishes. The stewed
peas were served from the water pitcher
in glass tumblers, the celery on the bread
plate, bread in the salad bowl, butter in
the celery tray, and the coffee in soup
bowls. The jelly was placed on u large
meat platter and served with the carving
knife, the cheese on butter plates, the
cake in covered vegetable dish and silver
gravy boats, and tho ice cream on large
dinner plates. The sugar appeared in tile
cracker jar, together with the gravy ladle,
and the cream in silver tea pot. The
salt was found in the mustard cup, the
pepper alone remaining as it should be.
The soup was eaten with teaspoons, as
the larger ones were reserved for the
coffee. Everyone enjoyed the dinner MS
well as the novelty and upon leaving all
agreed it was grand success. NIBBs.
