Ancient Rug Viewers.

More than three thousand years ago,
as tiles and marbles from Nineveh
show, splendid fabrics were being pro
duced for the adornment of the pal
aces Of the kings of Assyria, and every
oriental rug becomes magic carpet
when one realizes how through the
long days of the long centuries these
simple people have been weaving in
with the colors Of the jewel and the
rainbow the sunshine OF their own
lives. How much of romance and hap.

Reclamation on a large scale IS
bearing fruit in Louisiana and it IS
said that there are now 2O,OOO,OOO
acres of extremely fertile land, with
in a radius of 100 miles of New Or
leans and Baton Rouge that is ready
for settlers. The soil is mostly silt
and the climate permits two crops
annually. The land grows 40 tons
of sugar cane to the acre and 70
bushels of corn to the acre on stalks
Ia to l6 feet high. Experiments
have revealed that the greater por-
ton of these alluvial prairies will be
utilized for early vegetable culture
Almost every variety of vegetable,
and also figs, oranges and grape
fruit, are produced, and this method
of farming seems likely to be follow
ed more exclusively because of the
nearness of the New Orleans mar
kets. Mach of the land lies within
twenty five miles of the Crescent
City, which always has been conspic
uous among American cities because
of its utter lack of suburbs.

the last photograph ever taken of Mr.
Chamberlain was that by Sir Benjamin
at the notable fetes in Birmingham to
celebrate the great statesman's seven
