Makina a Rua "Antiaue..

How genuine antique rugs'' are manufactured and prepared for Euro pean and American markets is told by a writer in the National Geographic Magazine who visited Bagdad.
 The shopping streets seem like tun- nels, he writes. They arc, arched over head with brick to keep out the heat. Thus they run, like subways, up and down the bazaar quarter. Through those long, stifing, faintly lighted tun- nels throngs the eternal crowd of men, mules and camels.
 Often you will see fine rug lying flat in the filth of a narrow street, ground beneath the tramp of men and beasts, but there sis method in this. Foreigners make oriental rugs, bright and new, in Persia and sell them through Bagdad. Since an "old rugV is worth more, willy brokers have hit on this shameful way to make a new rug look old.

Small Number of Applications To
 Be Made Voters

Despite the reported large increase in the population the applications of those who desire to be made voters are much below normal. The time for filing such applications closed at 5 o'clock this afternoon and although the registrars of voters have not yet sorted out and counted the apphca- tions they estimate that less than 400 have applied.
 Years in which presidential cleo tions are held usually bring the larg- est registrations. Municipal elections seem to command next highest interes. and state elections next. As usual there are many duplicates in the ap- plications filed and until these are sorted out the registrars cannot esti- mate the number of applications,f
 The seIectmen will be at the regis trars' office, in the Masonic temple, on Saturday, September 23, and Monday, IOctober z25, from g a. m. until p. nj. to make new voters. The seiectmen will not hold evening sessions for this purpose this year.

Free Church Advocates
 Mobilization Scheme

London, Oct. 11-.tMobilizat&o~l'' is the motto of the Free Church Baove- ment in England, which is, plaI-ning g to prevent overlapping in the Hural districts The following thirteen de- nominations. are cooperating: Wesley an Methodists, Congregationf1ists, Baptists, United Methodists, Ca1v vinis- tic Methodists, Presbyterian Chursh of England. Wesleyan Reform Union, Independent Methodist Church. coun- tess of Huntington Connectiof1ss Nora vian Church, Churches of Christ, Dis cipIes of Christ and Society of Fairnds.
 Delegates recently met and pS5sed this resolution which suggests the Spir- it of the movement:
 That this conference composed of the specially appointed representa- tives, of the Free Churches of Eng land and Wales, is deeply convinced that there is urgent need to promote closer union between the Evangelical Free Churches of this country in or der to increase the effectiveness of their spiritual witness, to prevent overlapping, and to make more ader quate provisions for the needs of great populations; the conference, there fore, appoints a provisional commit tee to prepare a report setting forth the facts and suggesting the pre1iTni- nary steps that should be taken in regard to the whole subject; the re port to be presented at a subsequent meeting of the conference
 Some of the foremost leaders of the Evangelical Churches are devoting great efforts to this movement which iIE a way is akin to the movement which resulted in 1908 in the union of the Free Church and the United Presbyterian Church of Scotland.

China Is Now Chief
 Producer of Anthony

Hankow,. China, Oct, 11-As a re- suit of the Interruption of German industries, China has unexpectedly become the chief producer of anti mony and Hankow is .China's chief antimony center.
 Before the war there was one an timony plant in Hankow and :t was not operated. Nowsit is working and two others have been established.
 More than half of the 4O,O00 tons of antimony required by the world last year was produced in China, chief ly in Hankow. The price of the met al is uncertain at all times and is now three times a great as before the opening of the war.
 Anthony is chiefly used in peace times by the printingI trade. A slight amount of the metal is necessary in making type. It is also required in treating lead for use in ammunition. but the proportion demanded: is very slight. Ore from which antsmony may be obtained is available iiR sew eral parts of China but in ordinary times the amount of the metal Heces- sary to supply the world is not suffi- cient to justify big operations.

Reckless Eating.

Dietitians commenting on modern reck1essness in eating quote the re- mark of Seneca, the Roman philoso- pher, Man does not die; he kills him. self.' Originally made to live 1000 years, man has fallen to an average of only one-third of a century. It has taken 6,0O0 years, the authorities tell us, to develop a race that will live, by hook or by crook, as long as thirty three years, which is given as the pres ent day average. The blame is placed upon our disregard of plain honesty in living. We scorn everything natural and surrender to artificial gratiica- tions and indulgence that tend to ruin the natural health of the body. Our discretion cannot be trusted to do the common sense obvious thing. It is pointed out that animals live longer on natural food than on mans mix ture. A sick horse turned out to pas ture will get well, and if fed on bran oats and, other food prescribed by man he dies.-Exchange

The Entrance Hall,

In planning for the entrance hall ar range for plenty of light. Have at least one window of ample size. Do not depend upon the light admitted through a small pane, of glass placed in the top of an ugly so called "mis- sion'' door. The entrance hall may be made a very important factor in carrying out the general character of the home, and it needs the light equal ly with any other room in the house. Another mistake often made is in de-, priving the entrance of heat. Certain ly the impression conveyed by a cold entrance hall ill winter is not a pleas ing one and does not suggest the spirit of rest that we have laid so much stress upon- Not only this, but in win ter weather cold drafts of air are cer- tain to enter the room through the opening Of doors and through the cracks around the door. It will mean much to the comfort of the living rooms if this air has the chill removed fE2m it before entering the general circulation Good Health.

Between the Poles.

Although Lord Rayleigh is a noted scientist and a profound scholar, he has humorous side to his nature, and he once played a neat little joke on q learned friend with whom he had been discussing some deep subjects.
 What is the. difference between the north and south poles? ?" he asked gravely.s
 His lordship's friend thought he had a new scientific problem to grapple with and brought all the weight of his brain to bear upon the question: ..'I really must give it up," he said at l2s,t.
 ''The answer is simple enough" re- piled Lord Rayleigh with a smile. 'tTbere is all the difference in the world. d.'-London Anwsers.

The BuIf.

The bull is a male ruminant, specifi- cally a he cow. The bull is a historical animal. He has been worshiped in Egypt, thrown in the cattle country, fought in Mexico and Spain and canned in Chicago. The Egyptians called him Apis and built temples to him, but bull worship was not q profitable business, as all the Egyptians who followed the bull are either dust or mummies and have been so for centuries. On the other hand, canning the bull has made flock of miIlionaires, so the live ones everywhere have adopted the western idea and pretty generally can the bull. Don't be a bull thrower.-Judge.

District of Columbia.

17s9 gave land comprfsing 100 square miles. This was organized in 179O-91 as the District of Columbia and be- came the seat of government in 1900. Afterward the part ceded by Virginia was given back, not being needed. The, present District of Columbia, therefore, consists of sixty-four square miles, all on the east bank of the Po- tomac and all ceded by Maryland.
