badly hurt by a grizzly bear. The
medicine man prescribed a mixture
Of rattlesnakes' heads. wornout moe
casins and chewing tobacco. seasoned
with petroleum and red pepper. Of
which the patient was ordered to take
a pint every half hour. He was a
brave man. hut he died with the Ut

quest it was agreed that the remedy
was fauItless. but that death was due
to the doctors emitting to dance and

OLD PERSIAN RUGS.
Why They Retain Thor Sheen In
Spite Of Their Great Aqe.

Why They Retain Their Sheen In
Spite Of Their Great Age.
If you have ever seen q Persian rug
fifty years old or older which had
been used only in its native country
you have doubtless observed that.
though made Of wool. 1t had the sheen
Of velvet. This was due partly to the
excellence Of the dyes and the work.
manship. but partly also to the fact
that it had never known the touch of
a shoe. but had been walked over in
stockinged feet. II man should en-
ter your drawing room and stand on
the sofa and upholstered chairs It
would appear no more outrageous to
you than it does to Persian to walk
with shoes upon his rug.
It seems impossible that such a
beautiful thing as a Persian rug should
be produced on the rudest Of looms.
consisting. az they do, merely Of crook
ed. irregular beams of wood roughly
fastened together. The rude construc.
ton OF the loom explains why 1t is
that every genuine Persian rug Of
any length ia more or less crooked.
This is because after part Of it is
woven it must be removed from the
loom and lowered. and on so crude an
affair It is impossible to get the warp
Of the second part exactly straight
with that of the first part.
Until quite recently each province
had its own style Of rug. each village
its own pattern. and yet each rug had
an individuality Of its own and no two
rugs were identical in design. The
weaver copied designs and effects
from trees and flowers or from CON-
mon objects in everyday use. Some
times verse from the Koran or a
stanza of Il poem in the graceful. In
tricate Arabic character formed part
of the pattern.-New York Sun.

-"Yiddish."

"Yiddish." properly speaking. is not
language, 1t is a mixture Of poor
German. worse Hebrew and in Russia
has some Russian words added. 1t
has. however. a considerable litera-
ture. including a large number Of
newspa pers and other periodicals, and
is used colloquially by Russian. Polish
and Hungarian Jews. In the United
States it is spoken by more or less re-
cent immigrants only. their children
absolutely refusing to use it, and their
attempts to make them do so is the
chief cause of the disagreement be-
tween them which the parents so bit
terly complain of.-American lsraelite.
