PERSIAN WEAvERS.


The Way the Carpets Are Made by tho
Hand Workers.
In describing Persian Industries Mrs.
Hume Griffith, In Behind the Ven In
Persia and Turkish Arabia tells how
the beautiful carpets Of that country
are made, Of course without ma
chinery Of any kind. The warp is
stretched on loom, which is merely
a frame. The woof consists Of short
threads woven and knotted by hand
without the aid of shuttle. When a
row is finished it is pressed tightly to
the rest of the web by means of
comb inserted into the warp.
'tThe weaver does not see the pat
tern as he works, for he sits with the
reverse side Of the web toward him.
The looms are generally kept in an
underground vaulted room, often with
water running through the center. At
each loom three or four workers sit,
according to the size Of the carpet.
Sometimes the workers consist Of one
man and two children, and occasional
ly the owner uses boys and girls only

Of tiny girl. whose fingers were

was walking up and down the room

coherent tumble. but the children
seemed to understand it perfectly.
1.-THE overseer held In his hand a
paper, from which he was apparently
reading out instructions. 1t was some
thing like this:
" TO No. 1. three blue threads, one
white. two green; No. 2, four yellow,
one white and so on, each child re-
peating after the master the instruc-
tons given. As it was all said in a

confusing and deafening. But there

why Kidney disease Is Dangerous

Kidney disease is dangerous because it
comes on unwares and progresses to a
fatal stage before the sufferer realizes
what the trouble is.
If you begin to run down, feel badly,
have indigestion, inactive Liver, ETC., you
have reason to suspect that your Kidneys
are affected and special Kidney treat
ment should be taken at once. Delays
are dangerous. Rydale's Kidney Remedy
is the best remedy known for the Kidneys.
1t never fails to restore them to health.
Rydale's Kidney Remedy will cure
Bright's Disease if taken before too much
of the Kidneys are destroyed. The
Remedy can do no harm if your kidneys
are not the cause of your ill-health. II
is the safest remedy if they are the cause.

WONDERS OF A WATCH.

lie Marvellous Mechanism and the
Power That Moves It.
We hear much from time to time OF
the wonders Of this or that complicat-
ed and intricate machine, but there
are few pieces Of machinery more mar
velous than that OF the common watch.
A watch, it may be stated as gem
eral proposition, is the smallest, most
delicate instrument. Of the same num-
Der Of parts that has ever been de-
vised. About ITO different pieces Of
material enter into its construction,
and upward Of 2.40O separate opera
lions are comprised in it's manufacture.
Certain Of the facts connected with
its performance are well nigh incredi-
Bile when considered as whole. A
blacksmith strikes several hundred
blows on his anvil in a day and. as a
matter Of course, Ia glad when Sunday
comes, but the roller jewel Of watch
makes every day-and day after day
$4,000 impacts against the fork, or

year, without stop or rest-some
8, 1853, 600.O 900 blows during the space Of
twenty years, the period for which a
watch is usually guaranteed to keep
good time.
But the wonder Of it does not cease
here. It has been calculated that the
power that moves the watch is eQuiva-
lent to only four times the force used
in fiea's jump. The watch power is
therefore what might be termed the
equivalent of four fea-power. One
horsepower would suffice to operate
27O, ZOO. 600 watches.
Furthermore, the balance wheel Of a
watch is moved by this four f1ea-power

3.55S% miles continuously in one year.
Not much oil is required to lubricate
the little machine on its $500 mile
run. It takes only one-tepth Of drop
to oil the entire machinery for a years
service. -Harper's Weekly.

A certain philosopher was in the
habit Of saying whenever he heard
that an old friend had passed away:

Yes, death comes to all, and my

Now, Death overheard these philo-

and one day he showed himself to the
philosopher.

Hospital nurses when assisting at a
delicate operation have their own way
Of suppressing cough or sneeze.
The operators attention must not be
distracted for a moment. Coughs and
sneezes, too, spread germs on surfaces

HE WON THE CROWN.


The Ancient Story Of the sRIoody Hand
Of uister.n
The emblem Of the Ulster steamship
line Is a huge red hand, from the
wrist Of which Is flowing drops Of
blood. An official Of one Of the ves-
sells Of the line gave this explanation
Of the queer device:
1T was In the early days Of Ireland,
when james I. was king and when
Ireland was divided into four prov
inces, that the king Of Ulster died.
He had two sons, who were devoted
to each other and who at the time of
their fathers death were on the isle Of
Aaron, Scotland. In those days the
eldest son did not always succeed the
father on the throne.
They were brave lads, these two
sons Of the old king, and upon learn
ing Of the death of their father each
planned to race across the channel and
be the first to place his hand upon the
soil Of Antrim and thus become king
Of all the north.
with eight men each they started
of from Mullcantry. On nearing the
shores Of the isles the youngest prince,
whose name was NELL. seeing that his
brother was In fair way to become
king. drew his sword. placed his left
hand on the side of the boat and cut it
or at the wrist
Quickly selling the dripping hand,
he threw It on shore and thus won the
crown. Since that time, it is told, the
bloody hand Of Ulster has led to vic

MARCO P0L0'S BOOK.


g Gave Columbus the Idea For His
Voyage Of Discovery.
Medieval Europe knew but very lit
tie Of eastern and northeastern Asia.
Many Of the most learned cosmogra-
pliers Of the time taught that Asia
stretched eastward indefinitely, and no
one imagined that it had an eastern
coast washed by the ocean. It was se-
riously taught that eastern Asia was a
land Of vast swamps, inhabited by
monster serpents and dragons. This
was the opinion that still prevailed up
to within 200 years Of the time Of Co
lumbus.
At this time two Venetian merchants
of the name Of Polo went on vast
trading expedition to the uttermost
parts of Asia. They were gone many
years. Upon their return the son Of
one Of them, a young man named Mar
co Polo, wrote out full account Of
their travels, described the empire Of
the grand khan (the Chinese emperor)
and revealed the fact that Asia was
bounded on the east by vast ocean.
He described this eastern coast NIL
nutely, with all its vast cities and its
wealth Of precious stones and spices.
It was from reading this book that
the imagination of Columbus was fired,
and he conceived the bold idea Of
reaching this eastern coast Of Asia by
sailing toward the west around the
earth.
So when he discovered Cuba he had
not doubt that he had landed upon
the coast of Asia and that he looked
upon the same scenes that Marco Polo
had gazed upon 200 years before.

HEIGHT OF ELEPHANTS.
In the Majority of Cases Il ls Under
Eight Feet.


Eight Feet.
The average term of an elephants
life, although there is no precise infor-
nation on the point, is seventy or
eighty years. The elephant is not in
full vigor and strength till thirty-dve.
The most ready way Of forming an
approximate idea Of the age is by the
amount Of turnover Of the upper edge
Of the ear. In young animals, some
times up to the age Of eight or nine
years, the edge Is quite straight. It,
however, then begins to turn over, anf
by the time the animal Is thirty the
edges lap over to the extent Of aninch,
and between this age and sixty this
increases to two inches or slightly
more.
Extravagant ideas are held as to
the height Of an elephant. Such a
thing as an elephant measuring ten
feet at the shoulder does not exist in
India or Burma. Sanderson, an adj
mitted authority on the subject, said
the largest male he ever met with
measured nine feet ten inches and the
tallest female eight feet FIVE inches.
The majority of elephants, however,
are below eight feet, and an animal
rarely reaches nine feet, the female
being slightly shorter than the male.
The carcass Of an elephant seven feet
four inches tall weighed in. portions
gave total weight Of 5000 pounds. SO
an elephant weighing two tons should
be common enough. The skin was
about three-fourths ofsan inch thick.
