 The actual work of electing dele gates to the next Democratic Ma tional Convention will not begin for almost a year, but the friends of William J. Bryan are already organic ing all over the country to promote his nomination as the candidate for President. They are organizing un- der the name of the Commercial Trav- elers' Antitrust League in all States where local leaders or committees are opposed to the nomination of MT. Bryan, and the chief work of the League will be to capture delegates. The national officers of the League, with headquarters in this city. have been hard at work for several months circulating Bryan literature and keep ing his pane before the public. These officers admit that they find some op- platform, but they express confidence in the ability of the League 10 capture A majority Of the delegates as they are elected. They say that the opposition a candidate. The latter statement has not been denied from any source.
 There will be more than a thousand delegates in the next Democratic Na- tional Convention, if all the Territories. including Alaska and Porto Rico are allowed increased representation, and probably 670 will be necessary to nom- mate. At the Convention of 19O4 the Committee on Credentials r0coInmeno- ed that the National committee when caiiing the convention of 1908, allow each and every territory more dele- gates. This recommendation was adop- tedt by the Convention. and if It is carried out there will probably be as many as 1,010 delegates next year. There ls no probability that any at- tempt will be made to repeal the two thirds rule which has prevailed in Democratic national conventions since 1S22.

Bryan Is supposed to be directed from certain private offices in this city position at least for the present iE said to be ts get more candidates in the field, to get lot of favcrite sons In the running as early as possible Tn oeerIess one to go into the convention with two thirds of the delegates pledg- ed to his support.

the name of the slave and the year 942 of Mohammedan chronology Is 1885 of the Christian era. so that this precious prayer carpet is 372 years old. William Morris, the poet, who did so much for art in Egypt, discovered the carpet and assisted by several wealthy per- sons purchased 1t for the South Ken- sington museum It's cost was $12,500.
 Another historic rug carpet is that which was shown for the first time in England at the Crystal palace exposi- ton in 1851. It belonged to MaharaJah Goolab Singh. the ancestor of the pres ent distinguished Anglicized Hindoo family of Singh This carpet was made wholly of silk and contained 10000 knots to the square foot
 To account for the high price, rare coloring and wearing qualities of these Oriental rugs 1t must be remembered that they are made entirely by hand, the workmen tying knots one at time, in rows across the web or foun- dation threads, which are stretched in the loom above and in front of them. The woolen threads for the knots hang in reels above the workers. They snatch a thread from the reel, cut it with a knife, hook it through the strong threads of the web, tie 1t. cut the ends the right length and on to the next knot. Many of the most vai- uable Persian rugs are made by boys to 12 years old. The sit in rows and knot, knot all day.

Those who remember twenty years back will recall that brussels, axminster and velvet carpets are now much cheaper than they were then. The reason is that American machinery, yes, and American comrner- cialism, if one desires to call 1t so, are now turning out the above carpets equal in all respects to those formerly imported at high prices. Indeed. we may rest assured that in all kinds of floor covering except those considered strictly high art" the American arr ticle Is as good as the best and as cheap, counting in import duties. And no foreign land, not even Japan. has produced anything handsomer than the Minnesota grass carpet.

 "The Blood is The Life"
 Science has never gone beyond the above simple statement of scripture. But it has illuminated that statement and given it a meaning ever broadening with the increasing breadth of knowl- edge When the blood is bad or i'm pure it is rot alone the body which suffers tn 'ough disease. The brain is also col5cd, the mind and judgement are effected, and many an evil deed or mpure thought may be directly traced to the impurity of the blood. Foul, impure blood can be made pure by the uee of Dr. Pierca's Golden Medical Dis covery. It enriches and purifes the blood thereby curing, pinpies, blotches, eruptions and other cutaneous ahectious, as eczema, letter, or salt-rheum, hives and other manifestations of impure blood.

Nothing will ever be more serviceabie or appropriate, more attractive look% ing even, for the kitchen and dining room of a country house than these same rag carpets. The vegetable dyes the pioneer women used were made from the same varieties of plants as the Persian rug dyers employ.
 This movement to restore pioneer feminine handicrafts and elevate them to the dignity of art began at Deerfeid, Mass. A number of ancient danes who had not forgotten how to spin, weave, knit. dye and braid rugs were found, and they were quite willing to teach all they knew to the younger women The aim was commercial as well as artistic, for 1t was hoped the resurrected industry might be placed on such a footing as to make 1t re- munerative to farm women who nave little money in the course of their earthly pilgrimage.
 In both respects the enterprise has been successful It soon spread to other localities. At Cornish, N. H.. the country rug makers have fiourishing club and clubhouse of their own. It was furnished from the proceeds of their rug making, which has paid them we'll

The tunnel which crosscuts the country is now in l750 feet, which gives the workings depth of about 900 feet The face of the tunnel is now crosscuttiug vein of low grade ore carrying copper, iron and sulphur. The width of the vein is not yet known, but at present only sufficient distance has been gained to show up IS inches. Mir. Stevens Is of the opinion that the vein Is q big one and that the chances are good for a big body of ore being encountered. The mouth of the tunnel is only short distance from the Coronado railroad, which is a great advantage, should a large body of ore be struck.
