A TURKEY FOR s CENTS
Cows Cam he bought for 81 Each In
Persia.

In these days when the cost of liv-
ing is soaring 1t is cheerful to contem-
plate that in one country In the world
the price of food is cheap and SO cheap
that an entire family can live on $50
a year
you can buy a cow in Persia for So
a big Thanksgiving turkey for fie cents
and chickens for two cents apiece" said
III. II. Topakyan consul general of Per-
sia, in New York. at the Raleigh. Eggs
sell for two cents n dozen. and other
food supplies are correspondingly
cheap"
but there is another side to the pic
ture. The country that produces rugs
which sell for $50. 900 each pays the
lowest wages on earth. barring China.
perhaps.
Men. women nd children are employ =
ed In making rugs" said Mr.. Topakyan.
1.-THE wages range from Ave cents a day
to twenty live cents day. and only
the experts In rug making get the lat
ter remuneration. But with living so
cheap IL is easily possible for the Per-
zians to liZe comfortably and enjoy
themselves. The late j. Pierpont Nor
gan had probably the finest collection
of Persian rugs in the world. Former
Senator Clark, OF Montana, has re-
markable collection, as has Mr.. Altman.
The art of rug making has been per-
fected In Persia as in no other coun-
try. 1t takes from two months to 1--WE
years to complete a rug, and there are
some that date back twelce centuries.
In the White House there is a Persian
rug which Is valued at $4,000.
II en- easily understand why 1t may
appear Inconsistent that a country Of ex-
tremely low wages should produce such
costly articles. In the first place. Inn
porters of Persian rugs are required
to pay so per cent duty; the cost of the
material used in their making is high,
and all are made entirely by hand
The Persian rug makers have a secret
way OF making the dyes with which the
material Is colored. There are no pre-
conceived designs, and the rug makers
develop the scheme OF their rugs as
they proceed. 1t is almost impossible
to understand how they can produce
the wonderfully beautiful work they
do. 1t Is against the laws and relig-
ion OF some OF the districts to en-
ploy In the designs the figures Of men
OR women, or even animals. There are
probably more blind persons in Persia
than anywhere else, due to the strain
on the eyes in rug making"
Mr.. Topakyan has been made commits
sioner- general to the Panama Pacific
exposition for his country, and. at his
own expense, has contracted to erect a
Persian building at the fair, where he
will install an exhibit to cost $780,
600.
''The Persian exhibit at San Francis
co will be one worth seeing" said the
consul general. ut may also lead to
the establishment of an industry on
the Pacific coast that will prove highly
profitable. We are planning to make
an exhibit of Persian lamb, the material
so much liked by the women-for winter
wraps. 1t Is our purpose to demon
strate at the exposition how the busi-
ness Of producing Persian lamb can
be carried on In the United States as
Ii Ia in Persia-"--WasA Post.

Reducing the Meat Bill.

In the April Woman's Home Com
panion a butcher explains how
skirt" steaks. which are cheap per than
others. are IN reality just as nutri-
tious and tender as any part of beef
carcass. But the reader is warned
that If a butcher takes skirt
steak and tears IT. apart. II will not
be looked upon as steak by many
people. The point is made that the
success of dishes prepared from
cheap cuts Is almost entirely Deepen
dent upon two individuals--the butch
err and the cook.
The butcher who wants to discour-
age the purchase OF cheap cuts by his
customers will cut the cheaper cuts
so badly that the best OF cooks will ne
baffied. The cook who may not be
able to prepare a choice piece Of ten
derloin. sirloin, or porterhouse with
out destroying its flavor will prove
unequal to handling the cheaper
pieces, of course. Many choice
piece of meat Is palatable In spite OF
the cook and not because of her ef-
fic.ency. There are some things which
are so fine that they will survive al
most any sort OF treatment. Skirt
steak, shoulder chops, plate corned
beef will not. They must be prepared
with special care.

Average American
A "Pawnee Brave .
ANOTHER BRITISH ANALYSIS OF
AMERICAN NATIONAL TRAITS
WHY HE LIKES WORK.

The average American is on the
whole moro self-reliant and enter
prising than his counterpart here.
He has the spirit Of Pawnee brave
out after scalps if not of Il knight err
rant He ~ more ambitious than the
product of our coldly regulated soci-
ETY..
The American, too, has this fur
Their advantage. He attacks his work
with single mind. He is thorough
ly convinced that work. be it merely
pig killing, Is the only fit occupation
for man.
He Is called dollar hunter" but
no mere lover of money would con-
tinue as tho Americans do to work
at money-making long after health,
digestion and the power of enjoyment
are gone.
The American works because he
likes work, because he has a taste for
little else, and because, generally
speaking, money-making Is his only
notion Of work.
The English sausage maker sells
his business and retires to his Surrey
villa when he has amassed $4,000.
The American continues to turn out
sausages when he is worth millions.
A fortune Is incidental; the real epic
of his life is expressed in festoons Of
sausages girdling the globe.

Titians and Rembrandts and go down
to the stockyards--to kill pig. With
out this daily offering to his gods
life to him was hollow. empty
thing.
The English are not lazy, but they
are not Industrious In that way. They
are content to use UP their energies
in by-ways. such as golf or scribbling
or social enjoyment.
1t is the Americans strange power
OF getting rid OF all movement hui

youth that makes him the terribly
efficient Industrial machine that he
often IS. Whether the result be worth

ports of rioting in Lima, capital of

Robert Leguia, first vice-president of

dicating that Leguia will not be per

result of the deposition of President

The rieting centred about Leguia' s

prevented the mob from entering the

is believed that as a result of this
demonstration of the popular mood
toward Leguia II will be impossible
for him to obtain provisional presi-
