of Cuba this year will be the largest
in the history of the island and will
reach 100000 boxes. Until the last

A good roof has a good deal to do
with the real value as well as the

roofs are so made that snow piles up
in the corners to melt and freeze and
back up the water SO you have to get

around at different places to catch the
drips. This happens with compare

Ruq Industry Has Suffered.

Persia's rug industry has suffered
materially as a result of the closing
fthe bazars at Tabriz and other Per-
sian cities. Tie difficulties of trans
portation on the highways of Persia
and the lessened American Ademand
for luxuries have contributed in no
small measure to the depressed con-
dition of the Persian rug trade. Prices
have fallen recently by onethird and
rug exports have fallen off by one
half. Labor there now commands
only between five and ten cents a
day.
