CHINAMEN AS RUG MAKERS
Their Product , Long Known In East
ern Market , Is Now Uclng
Largely Exported.
Chinnincii ns rug makers nro now
( o the western world but not to the
eastern. In Taking more than 1,000
persons arc employed in the produc
tion of rugs of all kinds of material ,
silk , sheep's wool , camel's wool , felt ,
jute , hemp , ynk hair , and oven.tho
hair of the cow. The industry re
cently has been mlrouced in several
of the industrial schools for the em
ployment of the poor. The sillc car
pets are like those from India , Tur-
kdy or Tersia so far as colors and
quality of material arc concerned ,
but they are vastly different in de
sign , unless a pattern from abroad
has been submitted for copying. The
foreign designs are faithfully repro
duced when furnished. The wool
rugs are used throughout China ,
Japan and the orient. They are also
exported to Europe. The popular
Chinese patterns for carpets * are
floral , geometrical and dragon do-
signs. The carpets are fully half an
inch thick. The Chinese carpet in
dustry originated in saddle cloths
and trappings made for horses used
in processions and by Chinese of
high rank , developing into the rug
and carpet crafts on the advent of
the foreigner. The saddle blankets
still are used and often are highly
finished in the most elaborate de
signs and patterns.
THE MATHEMATICAL MIND.
A literary worker who wished to
do a large amount of reading by
proxy advertised for an assistant
capable of digesting the contents of
a treineittlous quantity bf books in a
very short while. "While weighing
each applicant's qualifications for
rapid , assimilative reading he in *
quired carefully into his mathemat
ical acquirements. Finally he chose
the man who was most skillful at
untangling arithmetical problems.
"On the surface that seems an uu-
iccessary accomplishment in this
case , " he said , "but experience has
taught me that anybody who is ex
pert in figures can read any kind of
iterature put before him with great
er accuracy and speed than tbe per
son lacking in mathematical acu
men. "
IN THE BRITISH ARMY.
Among those offering to enlist in
the army last year it was found that
27,921 unskilled men came forward ,
against i3,02 ; skilled tradesmen , in
addition to 15,2315 men classified
separately , such as fishermen , boat
men , stewards , barmen and clerks.
About one-fourth of each category
was rejected , the unskilled having a
slight advantage in the numbers
passing. In the army Englishmen
predominate ; there are 178,240 ,
against 3,588 Welshmen , 18,129
Scotsmen , 22,830 Irishmen , 9,014
Colonials and 25 aliens. Westmin

CLIMBING RECORD.
The "Alpine Journal" contains a
full account of the recent ascent of
Kabru , near Darjeeling , by two Nor
wegian climbers , Messrs. Monrad-
Aas and liubonson. Tbe height of
the peak , according to the Indian
survey measurements , is 24,015 feet.
The oncoming of darkness turned
the climbers back before they could
quite reach the top ; but they report
that they pitched their highest
camp at 22,000 feet , and succeeded
in attaining an elevation of "about
23,900 feet. " This , so far as is
known , is a record.
LOVED FOR HIMSELF ALONE.
"I saw little Tommy Bangs at the
circus. "
"Who was with him ? "
"That's the point. He is the only ,
only child , and the devotion to him
is really touching. Tbe whole fam
ily connection came with him just to
enjoy the dear child's pleasure , and
they were awfully distressed when it
was over because they couldn't find
him. "
*
IMPERTINENCE.
"Yes ; I gave a million last year
to charity. "
"I want to know ! "
"How I got the money , eh ? That's
my affair. " Exchange.
HE DIDN'T TAKE THAT.
"Don't you think he is ft very tak
ing sort of a man ? "
"Not if I judge by the way ha received -
