The Lace Dressers.

Lace dressing has been considered a
necessarily unhealthful occupation on
account of the intense heat required to
be maintained in the room. In some
cases the temperature exceeds 100 de
grees f. and much moisture is evapo-
rated from the wet fabric. The evi-
dence brought forth at a recent inves-
tigation in England, however, shows it
to be an exceedingly healthful pursuit.
New workers are often temporarily up
set at the beginning by the high tenn
perature, but no cases could be found
where health had broken down. On
the contrary, some ailments colds, for
instance-were found less prevalent
among lace dressers than among the
workers in other branches of the in
dustry. Time keepers books showed
few absences from illness. No special
tendency toward lung diseases could
be found, Notwithstanding that most of
the workers lived in poor and insani-
tary localities and led irregular lives.

Prayer rugs were evidently invented
for the purpose Of providing the wor-

on which to offer prayers. Tt is not
lawful for a Moslem to pray on any
place not perfectly clean, and unless
each one has his own special rug he
is not certain that the spot has not
been polluted. 1t does not matter to
these followers of Mohammed how

be, because over it they place the
