The young: er children are allowed to tie in only one solid color on the plain back- ground, but when a girl becomes fair- ly expert she is allowed to make a whole rug, aud traces of individuality may be looked for in her weaving. The two classes of rug, Turkish and Persian, are distinguished by the kind of kuot in which they are tied. the Ghiordes, or Turkish, the Senna, or Persian knot. The number of kuots to the square inch is one of the tests of value of a wodern rug, and the fact that morve Persian than in a Turkish rug ac- counts for the greater fineness and consequently greater costliness of the former. COVERED DISHES. First Used In the Dark Ages to Guard Food From Poison. From the days when our ancestors took their food ‘in their hands and ate it -with as little ceremony as a dog gnaws a bone to the present time of elaborate dinners is a long step, but a gradual ofie. It was a number of cen turies before dishes of any kind were used, and knives and forks as adjuncts to eating are later still. The fear of poison. which haunted the mind of every person of quality during the mid- dle ages gave rise to certain curious customs and even to certain supersti- tions. When dishes are now served covered, it is understood that it is mere- Iy for .the purpose of keeping them warm. This was not, however, the principal reason why they were serv: ed covered during the dark ages. It was the fear that poison might be in- troduced into them surreptitiously be- tween the kitchen and the table where they were to be served to the kings or the lords or even to persons of infe- rior rank. The covers were not removed till the master of the house had taken his place. Al dishes afterward served It was the custom originally some of the servants to first partake of them, but this custom was after- ward in part replaced by the servants touching the food with one of several objects which were regarded as infalli- ble preservatives against poison. ! Pr Chickens. The prairie chicken, was once so abundant that in Kentucky. where the slaye owners fed it to the megroes. they tired of it and begged their mas- ters not to make them eat it. It was commonly known as “nigger bird.” To find the prairie chicken now one must tramp the isolated regions of the west BEven in Indian territory a hunter is considered lucky if he eyen gets a shot at one. 1 have heard the old set tlers say that the prairie chicken was once more abundant than the English PRIMITlVE SURVEYING.

Having piled up a lot of stones, the Boers would start from them and ride in a straight line for half an hour as fast as thei horses could carry them. Halting, each rider would build an other beacon and again ride for half an hour at right angles to his first line. Then he would pile up angther stone beacon. Two more turns and an hour more of riding brought him back to his starting point. The square tract inclosed within the two hours' ride and the four beacons became his farm.

An irascible guest had been sitting at the hotel table about three minutes and no waiter had come to him, and when he caught the eye of the head waiter he called him up. “Here,” he said ill naturedly, “I've been waiting for half an hour for somebody to take my order, and nobody has come near! Am I going to be waited on?" “Certainly, sir.” “Then I want to know why I have been kept waiting a half hour!” “Well, sir” explained the waiter, “the man who was on duty when you came in, half an hour ago, has left and won'’t be back until tomorrow. and I only came on duty ten minutes ago, so I don’t know the reason.” The guest knew he was belng made fun of, but he also knew that he had been telling a falsehood, so he said no ‘more.—St. Touis Globe Democrat.

'YOUR FRAY HAIRS ' QUICKLY VANISH - A Harmless Remedy, Made From Garden Sage, Restores Color to Gray Hair. A feeling of sadness accompanies the discovery of the first gray hairs, which, unfortunately, are looked up- on as heralds of advancing age. Gray hairs, however, are not always an !indication of advancing age, for {many people have gray hairs quite early in life. Of course it is unna- tural, and indicates that there is something wrong with the individ- ual, and that Nature needs assist- ance in correcting the trouble. The same is true of hair that is constant- ly falling out and becoming thinner every day. If everything is right| with Nature, the hair, even in com- paratively elderly people, should be long, thick and glossy, without even a streak of gray. The ideal assistant to Nature in restoring and preserving the hair is Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Hair| Remedy, a clean and wholesome dressing for daily use. It not only removes dandruff, but strengthens weak, thin and falling hair and pro-| motes its growth. tions will restore faded or gray hair | to its natural color. .

Few people realize to what extent their health depends upon the condi- tion of the kidneys. The physician in nearly all cases of serious illness, makes a chemical analysis of the patient’s urine. He knows that unless the kidneys are doing their work properly, the other organs cannot be brought back to health and strength. ‘When the kidneys are neglected or abused in any way, serious results .are sure to follow. According to health statistics, Bright's disease which is really an advanced form of kidney trouble, caused nearly ten thousand deaths in 1910, in the state of New York alome. Therefore, it behooves us to pay more attention to the health of these most important organs.
