From the New York Tirn,

AS 10 the case with all occurrences
where tragedy is u~ppermost, the coll
lision between the Republic and the
Florida brought out some amusing In
cidents. Here IL one:
When the Republic passengers We're
brought on board the Baltic many OF
them had saved practically none OF
their belongings. One lady, arrayed IN
nightgewn and fur coat, all she q
brought with her from the sinking ship,
climbed over the side OF the Baltic INT
spied a sort of bulletin board, on which
notices of Interest to h passengers
were posted. The following caught that
lady's eye:
"Lost-One gold button. Finder please

The possessor of one nightgown and
one fur coat looked long and solennly
at that notice.

Persian Rugs.

In a recent interview concerning the
above subject Mr.. Thomas ~'Callaghan, OF
the firm of Thomas O'Callaghan & CO., of
New York city. made the following OBJ
seryatlons:
People who are unfamiliar with the
usage and customs OF the carpet trade
fall to appreciate that in buying oriental
rugs OF the best weave they are not only
adding to the interior decorations and
finish OF their homes but also are making
an Investment of no small concern. Use
and wear are effective mediums for tho de-
probation OF most all household articles.
save oriental rugs of the best quality which
strange to say, are softened IN tone by
time and wear so that they are very fire.
quently sold at above the price paid by the
purchaser, often at a substantial Increase,
and seldom at q loss.
In making this statement ! refer more
particularly to rugs which are woven In
Persia, where the art of rug weaving has
been in progress FOR at least 25 centuries.
The Modes and Persians antedate Chris
tianity in their fame as the artists Of the
orient and have left the stamp OF their
superiority In their creations as have the
italian painters and %sculptors in the mas
terpieces which have made them famous,
OF course the two vital considerations in
the making OF rugs are in the quality OF
the wool, and in the permanency OF the
dyes, and in this respect the people OF the
Mamlikat, or province Of Kirman, produce
q rug somewhat superior to the other
oriental ave In every art or craft
there Is always someone who Is superior
to his competitors, and the Kirmans sur
| pass their oriental competitors In the ar
tistic finish and character which their
rug creations possess. This prominence IL
| probably due to the fact that the wool
used in Kirnan Is sheared from the young
Kirman sheep whose fleece is the finest in
the world, and to the Persian law which
| prohibits the importation OF all aniline
dyes and requires that only vegetable mat
ter be used.
The nomenclature OF oriental rugs ts
often mystifying to the uninitiated but
rugs generally take their names from the
The name given to their native country
by the Persians Is Iran, and so Persian
rugs are given the collective name OF Iran
rugs.
The denizens Of Tabrix. the second city
OF Persia, are famed for their master
pieces In textile art. Their rugs are dis
tinctive In appearance. prodigal In the va
c.ety Of their harmonious color ~blendinks.
and profuse in symbolic designs. Other
well known Persian rugs are those from
Feshed. shiraz. ~Kermanshah. Kashan.
Ispahan, Mahal and other y1layets.
The reputation of these rugs Ia estab-
lished, and the rug readily finding a mar
ket are an asset convertible into cash, a
consideration which makes them a de-
sirable investment. With the election out
of the way and a return OF prosperous
times the prudent householder will not
only decorate his home with artistic floor
coverings but In buying high grade orr
entail rugs will not only have things OF
beauty which are joys forever, but will
have under his feet an investment which
may prove his friend in need.

What a Former Oregon Farmer
Thinks of Western Canada.

what a Former Oregon Farmer
Thinks of Western Canada.
Albert Nelson left Benton County,
Oregon, in September, 1904, for the
great Canadian prairies. To quote
from his letter: l was greatly u r
prtsed to find such an immense stretch
of rich virgin prairie still almost I'M
occupied in the very heart Of North
America. The splendid crops OF oats,
wheat, barley, potatoes and hay l be-
held in he settlements made me very
eager for a piece Of this rich soil, and
I 800 located in the Goose Lake coun-
the rich deep clay loan Of the Sass
katchewan-a soil heavy and hard to
break, but particularly well adapted for
the retention Of moisture and produc-
ton OF the bright No. / hard wheat,
and great crops Of oats, barley, fax and
potatoes. I had 60 bushels OF oats
weighing A pounds to the bushel per
acre. Some Of my neighbors had still
greater yield. Wheat yielded from 20
to 80 bushels per acre. We have all
done well here, and I could name many
Americans who came here with means
to go ahead, who have done big al
ready. For homesteads one has to go
further west, but the best prairie can
be bought here for from $12 to $l6
per acre. The climate is dry and
healthy. This is the regular Saskatch-
evan fall weather-frosty nights and
bright sunny ~days-ideal for threshlns
u hauling out Of wheat. The trails
are dusty, as thousands Of wheat teams
are moving towards the elevators.
The sight Of it makes one stop and
wonder what 1t will be in a few years
when the immense prairies get under
cultivation. Heavy snowfall is the ex-
ception here. Snow generally falls in
December and goes off in March. 1t
sometimes gets very cold, but b Sas-
katchewan farmer does not fear the
cold. Winter Is his season of rest. The
first or second crop he builds a COM
Portable house for himself, and warm
stables for his horses. He need not,
like some, be poking about in the mud
all winter attending a few beasts for
q livelihood.

Knox. Remarkable Memory,

FROM the washington Evening pldT.
Secretary Knox has q remarkable
memory. He never forgets anything.
One of the assistants in the attorney
generals office remembers an illustra-
ton Of this faculty that occurred in
his presence. A gentleman who had
some business continuing for several
years in the department Of justice
quoted what he said Senator Knox had
written to him in a letter g long time
before.
II never wrote such a thing!' ex-
claimed Mr.. Knox.
but you certainly did" insisted the
visitor. at was SO important that I
remember It distinctly"
IF I wrote the words you quote I am
losing my mind and my memory" he
declared. What I did say was this"
and he explained briefly his recollection
of the text OF the letter. Then calling
his secretary, he sent for the press
copybook of that date. The letter was
found and the visitor was compelled to
acknowledge that Kno was right and
that he was wrong In his recollection.
This Is a hint to people who have
business at the state department dur
Ing the e few years.
Another regularity Of the gecre-
tary of state is his ability to go to
sleep at any time he pleases to wake at
any minute that he desires. Few men
have this faculty. Napoleon Bonaparte
and General B. F. Butler were able to
sleep and waken at will, and Senator
Knox can throw himself down on q
lounge and sleep for a an hour or
any time he likes. If he wants to catch
an early train he can waken himself at
6 o'clock or at 8 O'Clock. in the morn
ing and take a two hours drive before
breakfast behind the most faInous team
in Washington. This Is his exercise and
recreation. He returns to his home for
an 8 O'Clock with his fam
lily and then the work for the day be-
gins
