It does not always appear as ma-ma. but somewhere in the word the “m” and the “a” or some form of it is to be found. The reason for this takes us back to a consideration of the theories concern- ing the origin of the spoken word. It is well known that animals have a language of their own, at least so far as they can communicate certain in stinctive feelings one to another Monkeys | e a la e which contains about 1S syliables.

Like a | violin, if the cords are loose, the sound is of a lower pitch. and the shrill noises are produced by the tight- ened vocal cords. When the infant |lies in its crib the air from its lungs { is emitted through the vocal cords and striking the roof of the mouth it then flows through the opening at the lips.

The mother hearing the sound takes great joy thinking the child is calling her. then begins working on the ha i association. The child soon learns to call any human being “ma-m then learns to eall only wemen “ma-ma. nntil finally. as its mentality is further developed. it learns tn designate only its mother with the svllables “ma-ma." | From then on the growth of the language process is dependent upon associating certain noises with certain ohlects or feelings. until we have huilt up the most heautiful structure in all seience or human thought. viz., the | ability to transfer emntion and | theught through the spoken word.

A few vears back she would told, too. that we had no workmen skilled in this line, to manu- facture them by hand here, and that the necessary grades of silk and wool and the vegetable dves, were not to be had in this country. Now, as a matter of fact, a good | many Orientals are being made right here in our large cities. by immi gran of the respective nationalities.

Another almost infallible | test is that the warp threads of the true Oriental continue out through the end of the ring and are made into | n fringe, while this an impos for the ordinary loom, = fringes come separate, and are sewed on. 8 At least one American manufacturer | has succeeded in duplicating the Ori entals by machinery, even in the points just mentioned. The true | ovster water and a gill | one minute. shadings of color are reproduced; the | designs do not repeat themselves: and the warp, threads run through to form a fringe. In fact, this achievement is £0 rare and promising that of the leading museums of the country have had them on display in their Oriental sections. And, doubtless, the most significant thing about it all. to the average American shopper, is that these latest machine copieg of Orientals can and are heing proMuced at the price of American rugs.
