Psrsian Rua..

Antique Persian rugs said the rug
salesman, ARE dyed with vegetable
dyes; the new ones are dyed with ami
line dyes. There's a great difference.
Vegetable dyes are fifty or sixty times
more expensive than anilines, and they
give color that Is literally imperish-
able, color that keeps growing richer
and richer till the rug falls to pieces.
Anllines. made out Of coal tar, look
We'll enough at first, but they fade.
When a vegetable red or blue would be
at its best an aniline red or blue would
De nearly white. We civilized people
harmed the Chinese by introducing our

Weeks passed by, and the farmer had

The West End.

Why is it that in most of the cities
Of the world fashion makes its home
in the northwestern quarter? Why is
it that the west end is SO often the
aristocratic section of the city and
least side and south side" SO often
the residence Of the poorer classes?
It Is a fact, and there Is a ruling cause
for it, Is it this-that the prevailing
winds of the earth are northwesterly
They are in general northwcsterly, and
their tendency is to blow the dust,
smoke and odors OF a city to its east
eru or southern side This makes the
opposite quarter the more desirable for
residence

LOOKING Down Iii. Own Throat.

One of the quaintcst reasons put for
ward for the origin Of squirting was
that given by parent to Harold
Grimslalc, who read paper before
the Childhood society on the detection
of imperfect condition OF eyesight. \
boy had swallowed large sugar aim
ond, and it was owing to his attempts
to locate its position in his throat that
the squint had developed. II taken in
time squint was cnrable, but too often
parents neglected the symptoms and
only scolded their children for bad
habit. Short sight was entirely dis
ease of civilization, being absent in

DELIBERATE SUICIDE.
whv Il Should Excite More Horror
Than Any othsr Murder.

AS TO its moral aspects, suicide IL
manifestly forbidden by the divine
law. one Of the commandments Of the
pecalogue declares, Thou shalt not
kill' TO make the law as compre.
hensiye as possible 1t is not said,
"Thou shalt not kill thy neighbor,"
which qualifying phrase is employed
In some Of the other commandments
as. for instance, "Thou shalt not bear
false witness against they neighbour"
"Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's
house." The prohibition to kill is there
fore absolute. 1t forbids the taking Of
human life, whether by suicide or
homicide.
There Is another commandment
which says, Thou shalt love thy
nelshbor as thyself" Now, the love
which we owe to our neighbor forbids
us to slay him, and therefore the love
which we owe to ourselves forbids us
to compass our own death. II the law
allowed us to kill ourselves, while for
bidding us to kill our nelghbor, our
love for our neighbor would not be
equal, but superior, to our love for our
selves.
Nay, I hold that suicide Is more re-
voting sin than the killing of another.
The closer the ties of relationship be-
tween the murderer and his victim the
more atrocious is the crime. In the
estimation of mankind, a parricide, or
matricide, or fratricide. or uxoricide, is
a more shocking criminal than an ordi-
nary homicide. And as a man has
more intimate relations to himself
than to a parent or brother or wife, his
deliberate self destruction should ex-
cite more horror than the murder OF q
parent, brother or Cardinal Glib
bons in Century.
