Bemorralic {atc Bellefonte, Pa., July 16, 1915. The Land of ‘‘Pretty Soon.” I know of a land where the streets are paved With the things we meant to achieve. It is walled with the money we meant to have saved And the pleasures for which we grieve. The kind words unspoken, the promises broken, And many a coveted boon Are stowed away there in that land somewhere— The land of *‘Pretty Soon.” ‘There are uncut jewels, of possible fame, Lying about in the dust, And many a noble and lofty aim Covered with mold and rust. And, oh, this place, while it seems so near, Is further away than the moon! Though our purpose is fair, we never get there— The land of “Pretty Soon.” It is further at noon than it is at dawn, Further at night than at noon; Oh! let us beware of that land down there— ‘The land of “Pretty Soon.” —The King’s Own. ORIENTAL RUGS. inne. How many of us who in the spring and fall read the announcements of depart- ment stores and importers of sales of Oriental rugs know much about these “flowers of the loom” beyond the facts that they. are often extraordinarily beautiful and sometimes tempt us beyond our strength? Woven in the grazing districts of south- ern Asia and Asia Minor and by the nomad tribes, the same method is fol- lowed today as was used when the in- dustry originated, thousands of years ago, and its products were used to furnish the palaces of Egypt and Babylonia. Secrets of dyeing have in some cases been handed down in families, and all at- tempts to buy the formulas for certain unusual colors have failed. Hereditary designs have been modified slightly by individuals, and this accounts for the fact that no two antique rugs are exactly alike. Each has woven into it some ex- pression of individual love of nature or joy or sorrow. For instance, we can imagine that the rug a future bride wove for her husband would differ greatly from the one her mother might be weav- ing at the same time to be used for the guest of honor at the family hearth, al- though both might follow in the main | the same design. Now that the demand for Oriental rugs has increased so largely that there are few comfortable homes throughout the land where at least one is not cherished, the making of them has become largely commercialized. There are, however, no rug factories, as we understand the word. Every step in the industry is performed by hand in the old, rude methods, by vil- lagers working in their own dooryards usually, but painted patterns are given out for the workers to follow, and fre- quently several people are engaged upon the same rug at the same time. In the days of old the work of weaving was done, as it is done today among the nomadic tribes, only by the women. But the increasing demand already spoken of has drawn men and boys into the work. The method of weaving is thus des- cribed by Vincent J. Robinson, in his Eastern Carpets: “A very rough loom is contrived by placing two horizontal poles or large beams, according to the width of the proposed carpet, the one about a foot or cighteen inches above the level of the floor, and the other six or seven feet above that and parallel with it. Upon the upper of these beams are coiled the threads or warps which are to form the foundation of the carpet, with their lower ends strained or fixed to the bot- tom pole. The loom being set up, the pile is gradually worked into the warp threads in the following manner: Small bobbins of wool, goats’ hair or other ma- terial of which the pile is to be made, dyed of the required colors to form the pattern, are passed over and under the warp threads twice, so as to bring the two ends of the pile to the front of the carpet, when the engaged end is cut, leaving the two ends of the material pro- jecting to form the pile. This is repeated in the same color, changed to suit the re- quirements of the design, and when one row is finished it is hammered closely down with a kind of comb and another row is begun. Before a commencement of each row of the pile,the warps, which are divided into two sets, are crossed, a shoot of hemp or cotton is introduced between them; they are then crossed again by means of a treadle, and the weaving of the pile recommences. After a com- pletion of several rows of pile the pro- jecting ends of it, which have only as yet been roughly cut, are carefully trim- med to the length which it is intended to assume." The two methods of knotting the pile are the Ghiordes or Turkish knotand the Sehna or Persian knot. In the former the ends of the pile come up between every two threads of the warp; in the latter, they come up to the surface be- tween the spaces. The texture of the rug is determined by the number of knots to the square inch. Some of the ' most prized of the antiques have as many as 924 knots to the square inch, the cheapest of the modern rugs may have only forty. Since it is estimated that a skillful weaver can tie three knots in one minute, anyone with a few min- utes’ calculation can work out the time it must take to complete a rug five feet by eight feet, allowing, say, 400 knots to the square inch—a little over four years. The secret of the glorious coloring found in Oriental rugs and their wonder- ful permanence lies in the use of care- ful prepared vegetable and animal dyes. The art of dyeing has many carefully preserved secrets and many factors enter into the process, such as the qualities and temperature of the water, atmo- spheric conditions, number of dippings in the dye and the length of exposure to air and sunshine—all have their own peculiar effects upon the color to be pro- uced. The luster which is so much prized in old rugs has been gained by the years- long tread of bare or soft-sandaled feet, No Oriental would be guilty of walking on his prized possessions with heavy boots. Some manufacturers of our day attempt to produce this luster of age by artificial means,by chemically treatingthe rug, by burying it in sand or mangling it. But this kind of treatment is far from beneficial to the wearing qualities of the A distinguished Frenchman, M. Charles Blanc, has written: rer ene “Were a man to live aslong as Methu- selah he would never cease to find fresh beauties in a Persian carpet.” These beauties are enhanced, if one understands a little about the symbolism of the various geometric and conven- tionalized natural forms most frequently : employed by the Orientals. The circle, for instance, as almost every one knows, symbolizes eternity; the familiar swastika and its modifications, the latch hook and the Greek border, are said to represent health, happiness and good luck, as well as the movement of the earth on its axis, and the supreme” deity of the Aryans; the zigzag symbolizes water or lightning; the star of six points, Allah; the hour i glass figure, formed by two triangles, fire and water. Continuity of life, of the endlessness of eternal life, is represented by a meandering line. It is often said that the whole rug is the emblem of eternity and that the pat- tern symbolizes the changing world of nature. Occasionally lines from the Persian poets are found woven in a car- touche at one end of a rug, and some- times a date and a signature. Little irregularities in the design or a little bead woven in, or a tassel of wool left, were thought to keep away the “evil eye.” The prayer rug, of which so much is heard, is distinguished by a niche, called the mihrab, at one end. Wherever the faithful follower of Mahomet may be at the hour appointed for prayer, he spreads his rug with the mihrab toward Mecca and prostrates himself, with his head resting on the point in the rug and his arms outstretched.—New York Tribune. Summer Schools for the Training of Teachers for Continuation Schools. The Cox Child Labor Bill, Act No. 177, provides that minors between the ages of 14 and 16 shall attend school eight hours a week, if such school has been established in the school district in which the pupil works or resides. There will be a demand for properly trained teachers to teach these minors. This demand will increase from year to ear. , y In order to enable the teachers of this Commonwealth to take courses that will fit them for teaching positions in the continuation schools which are about to be established, and to provide a source of supply of trained teachers for the school authorities of the Commonwealth, the State Board of Education has com- pleted plans for the establishment of six summer schools, to be located as follows: Philadelphia Trades School, Philadel- pria. Poplar St. Industrial School, Reading. Technical High Schooi, Altoona. North Industrial School, Pittsburgh. Academy Industrial School, Erie. Free tuition and supplies will be fur- nished by the State to teachers, both men and women, holding a certificate valid in Pennsylvania and having taught one or more years within the Common- wealth. Those approved for entrance to the schools will pay living expenses and transportation from their homes to the school and return. The courses given in the summer schools for the training of teachers for the continuation schools will consist of industrial English, industrial geography, industrial civics, hygiene for the worker, industrial arithmetic, industrial book- keeping and industrial drawing. These schools will open on the 19th day of July, 1915, and continue in session 5% days a week, until August 13, 1915. On or about the 13th of November, 1915, in various sections of the State, ex- aminations will be given in the subjects taught in the summer schools. Teach- ers passing satisfactory examination and having had three or more years’ teach- ing experience will be granted a grade “A” certificate which will entitle them to teach in any continuation school operated in Pennsylvania. All teachers passing a satisfactory examination and having had from one to three years’ teaching ex- perience, will be granted a grade “B” certificate which will entitle them to teach in any continuation school of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. summer schools for the training of teach- ers for the continuation schools, ' should make application .to Millard B.

The fighting aeroplane is an important weapon against raiding airships; and un- less the aeroplane has to carry the weight of a machine gua, it has a big advantage inspeed. But if it carries a gun that ad- vantage is greatly reduced. A rigid air- ship of the latest type should attain a speed of sixty milesan hour; anaeroplane, when laden with pilot, passenger, ma- chine gun and ammunition, does not as a rule exceed sixty or seventy miles, an hour. If the aeroplane carries bombs instead of a machine gun, it must, in order to cripple the airship, pass directly above her, and from that point drop a bomb upon the craft below. But aeroplane pilots, when approaching an airship, must be wary, for it has machine guns in its cars, and can maintain a hot and dangerous fire. If the pilot of the aero- plane sees the airship before it sights him, his best course is to gain a high altitude, and then close in suddenly and drop his bombs. Should it come to a contest for height between an aeroplane and an airship, the bigger craft will have an advantage—at any rate until she has reached her limit of altitude, which is about ten thousand feet. An aeroplane can climb quickly until it has gained a height of about six thousand feet; but after that the decrease in the density of the air reduces the “lift” of its wings, and its rate of ascent is much slower. The airship, however, can rise rapidly and at a sustained pace. ging ou “If in a combat between an airship and an aeroplane the pilot of the smaller craft has used all his weapons of attack with- out avail, and if he must at any cost put desperate method of attack. He can steer his machine directly at the airship and allow it to crash into her hull. By that heroic action, although it will almost inevitably cost him his life, he may so injure the airship that she will go reeling to earth.—Claude Grahame-White, on “Aircraft in War,” in the Youth's Com- panion. : "Endless Chain. get your troubles.” “That's right Mayba I, can find a show. tonight thal will make me forget: the: vne 1 saw last night.”—Washingten Star «ee All those who desire to enroll in these | “You ought to go to a show and for the airship out of action, he has one last | HAVE NO STANDING IN LAW Exponents of “Spirit Mediumship” ~ Find Little Comfort in Appeal- ing to Courts. Subtle though the judicial mind may be, writes L. Arthur Wilder in Case and Comment, it has no place for spirit mediumship. The Michigan su- preme court once had occasion to con: sider the case of one who advertised himself as “a modern day seer,” “clair- voyant trance medium” and “clairvoy- ant physician,” “thoroughly con- versant with the occult sciences,” per- mitting “a peep through the keyhole of the mysterious future” and offering advice “with a strange certainty” op all business affairs and affairs of the heart, “restoring lost affections, peace and confidence to lovers and discord- ant families” “on a positive guar anty,” locating lost, stolen and buried property and treasures and calling his business “psychometry or soul read- ing” or: “prognosticating.” The court held that he was properly convicted of being a disorderly person and fur- i ther that no intent was involved, since the offense itself was a misdemeanor, and either specific ‘acts or advertise- ment itself constituted the offense. A like attitude is taken in New York, Delaware and England, and there is a record of a conviction in France of an impostor who claimed the power not merely to materialize a spirit but to photograph it. ROYAL IN ITS MAGNIFICENCE “Founder's Room” in Pittsburgh Car | negie Library Is a Splendid Apartment. —— | A recent report of the Pittsburgh Carnegie library contains a picture of the “founder’s room,” of which a writer in the Boston Evening Tran- script says: “It seems to be a vast apartment, about fifty or sixty yards long and nearly as wide. It has indirect light- ing and a flagged floor, upon which one might play hopscotch if one felt inclined. There are four or five thrones in the room, one on each side of the fireplace, and there is a table with a lamp on it. The room is very mag- nificent; it has all the spaciousness and discomfort of a royal palace. “What Mr. Carnegie does in this room we are not told. There are no sleeping accommodations, unless one of the thrones is really a folding bed. It does not look cozy enough to use for an office.” Typhoid in War Time. - In the Franco-Prussian war in the year 1870 there were 73,000 cases of typhoid fever in the Germany army. Out of this number there were 7,000 deaths. In the Boer war the British army suffered from typhoid fever to the extent of 57,000 cases, of which 8,000 died. During the war with Spain the United States army was ravaged with typhoid fever. In 1898 there were 20,738 cases and 1,580 deaths among 108,000 men. In other words, one man in every five contracted typhoid fever. Even among the troops which never left the United States, but re- mained in the various concentration camps at home, one man in every six came down with the disease. In 1898 nine-tenths of the deaths which cec- curred among the troops in the United States were caused by typhoid fever. —Scientific American. The Doorman’s Plea. The stage doorman of a certain New York theater is a doughty Italian of sufficient brawn to guard a much larger portal. Silvestro, as he is called, has been somewhat envious of the showy uniform of the theater's carriage porter, in contrast to his own unpretentious civilian garb. With a preliminary respectful salute to Mr. Hopkins, owner of the theater, on his way to make up for “The Marriage of Columbine,” Silvestro poured out his soul with characteristic variations on the idiom, “Scusi, meester, I try do my best, all de time. I love my job, I love dis theater, everything. Santa! I love you, I love Mr. Hopkins, everybody round de place. I give my heart out, all the time, my soul, my life; nothing I would not give to serve you. Siete soddisfatto? Den, please get me a fine cap like da porter’s one.” Wires Near Houses. The sight of a man trimming a tree suddenly falling to the ground, killed by a shock from an electric wire, against which the branches were blown, leads Philip E. Edelman to suggest in the Scientific American that not nearly enough care is taken in stringing high power wires 5 keep them far away from trees, barns and houses, Mr. Edelman says that every muni- cipality should require high voltage wires to be separated from all neigh- boring objects by a distance of mot less than eight or ten feet. : Sense of Fitness. Some women seem to have no idea of the relative value of adjectives or epithets. A golden-haired, fluffy thing was looking at a picture of the wounded English soldiers in a hospital ward. “Don’t they look ‘dinky’ in their cots?” she exclaimed. “Dinky!” —they might have been prize poms instead of men who had bled for their country. Farmers’ Wives Buy Bread. It is no uncommon thing these days to see a farmer's wife come into town and buy a few loaves of bread to take home with her. Even the farmer's daughters are not learning to cook as they did in the good old days.—Mit- chell Tribune. ay sip ot WORKING IN OCEAN'S DEPTHS Most Remarkable Divers Are the Pearl Fishers of Torres, Who Work With Simple Equipment. The greatest depth recorded of work done by a diver in a suit is 182 feet; this depth was reached by the Spanish diver, Angel Erostarbe, who recovered $45,000 in silver ingots from the wreck of the steamship Skyro off Cape Finisterre. The sponge divers of the Mediterranean work at a maxi- mum of 150 feet, and the Australian pearlers at 120 feet. The greatest depths reached by divers without ap- paratus were by the pearl fishers of Torres, mostly Malayans from the smaller islands. They go down with the aid of a stone and a loop in the rope thereto attached which they clutch with their toes, these organs being far more prehensile’ than in races: normally shod. ‘They seldom venture to descend below 50 feet, a depth at which they can remain for two minutes. The stone enables them to remain at the bottom while they | are sweeping the pearl oysters into a basket attached to the stone. When | the diver feels that he must come up | to breathe he releases his toes from | he becket in the rope and at once | floats to the surface. Young and heaithy Malayan divers working oys- ter beds below six fathoms make four | descents an hour during four hours in the morning and the same during | four hours in the afternoon following ' a four-hour rest. A civilized man at ! a depth of 42 feet finds such a dive in- | tolerable after a single minute. TRIED TO “BEAN” THE HAWK New York City Employee Flings Pa. per Weight Ineffectively at Daring Pigeon-Eater. There was a hunt for game yester- day atop the municipal building. The game was variously described as a hawk and an eagle. The hunters were a couple of score of city employees, led by Alderman Carstairs and Jack Kennedy, chief clerk of the water de- partment, The “guide,” if such he could be called, was Elevator Dis- patcher Peter Kearney, whose office is on the roof of the building, and who has been watching the big bird capture and devour pigeons. “The bird is two feet high. at least, and his wings spread four feet,” said | Kearney. “He’s black, but his breast ! has streaks of white on it. He has a | brown bill, with a black spot right on | the end of it.” { The hunters trooped out on the roof | just after Kearney had informed them | the bird had settled on a ledge 15 i feet below, with a pigeon in its mouth. | There was a long discussion, and final- { ly Frank Halliday tied a paper weight i to a long string, and tried to “bean” the hawk. The weight fell pretty ciose to the | hawk's head, and it soared up, taking refuge in the folds of Civic Virtue’s ' bronze skirt.—-New York World. Practical Trade School Idea. London has elaborated the trade school idea to include the work of out- ! fitting women with an equipment to face life’s struggle. In the six trade schools of London, four of which are under the direct control of the London county council, and two of which are connected with the polytechnic insti- tutions, aided by grants from the Lon- don county council, various trades of the traditional feminist classes, such as dressmaking, ladies’ tailoring, cor- set makirg, millinery, embroidery, In addition to competent teachers these schools have enlisted in their interest advisory committees of em- ployees of the classes of workwomen being developed by the schools, one result of which is that employment at profitable wages awaits the capable students of these schools. The voca- tional school idea is spreading and ex- tending through the civilized world, with the result that it brightens the prospects of youth and heartens young people with the knowledge that they will enter upon their career with some technical acquaintance with and some manual dexterity in those lines of work in which the world stands con- stantly in need of workers. Wanted Quick Settlement. The humors of that type of lawyer who is known as the * “ambulance chaser” are not lost upon Representa- tive Howard of Georgia, who, by the way, has not even sympathy for the type. He recounts the story of an elderly negro who was run over by a wagon. A sympathetic attorney rushed to the hospital and offered to handle the case on a contingent fee. “Go 'way f'um me, white man,” said the old darky, feebly. “But I want to help you,” said the lawyer. The old man showed a gleam of in- terest. “Does you?” he said. The lawyer nodded. “Den,” said the victim, “you go out an’ find de man dat run into me and bus’ his haid wide open!” Hen Was Practical. The Johnsons had an old hen which insisted upon neglecting her comfor- table nest to lay a daily egg in the coal cellar. Ea “I can’t think,” fretted Mrs. John- son, as she and her small son, Joe, together hunted for that particular egg, “why this one hen insists upon using the coal cellar.” “Why, that's easy, mother,” ex- claimed Joe in astonishment. “I £’dose she’s seen the sign, ‘Now is the ‘time to lay in your coal.’” - waistcoat making, cooking, laundry | work and upholstery, are being taught. | County Correspondence Items of Interest Dished Up for the Delec- tation of ‘““Watchman’ Readers by a Corps of Gifted Correspondents.

HAWES AT HARRISBURG.— Mon- day’s Harrisburg Patriot contained the following notice relative to Dr. Hawes: Large audiences attended Market Square Presbyterian church yesterday to hear the Rev. Dr. George Edward Hawes, pastor of the Bellefonte Presbyterian church, who recently received a call to the pastorate at Market Square. Dr. Hawes made a very favorable impression with his commanding presence and at- tractive personality and forceful address. He made no intimation regarding his de- cision on the call as pastor. In the morning the minister preached from the text, “As the heart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after Thee, O God,” and in the evening gave a fine discourse on the subject, “Into Thine Hands I Commit my Spirit; Thou Hast Redeemed me, O Lord God of Truth.” Dr. Hawes visited the Bible classes and met a large number of the congregation. The Rev. and Mrs. Hawes were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel W. Flem- ming, 104 South street, during their visit in this city. . Although Dr. Hawes has given no de- cision in regard to the call to the pastor- ate of the church, it is believed that he will make an early reply. ALLEGED ELOPERS CAUGHT.—On Wed- nesday of last week sheriff A. B. Lee re- ceived a telephone message from Snow Shoe that Michael Perro, single, and Mrs. Sofia Vozniak, a married woman with two children, had left that place in an auto, driven to Bellefonte and taken the Lewisburg train for Wilkes-Barre, and he was requested to apprehend them. The sheriff at once telephoned to sheriff Hackenberg, at Lewisburg, to arrest the couple and when the train arrived there they were taken into custody and placed in jail. On Thursday morning sheriff Lee went to Lewisburg and brought the man and woman to Bellefonte. Both stoutly maintained that they had no thought of eloping or of doing anything improper, but were simply going to Wilkes-Barre to visit relatives. Under these representations the only thing that could be done was to discharge both after they paid the costs and they then re- turned to Snow Shoe. REFORMED CHURCH REUNION.—The fifteenth annual Reformed reunion wil] be held at Hecla park on Tuesday, July 20th. The usual train service will pre- vail. A special train will leave Belle- fonte at 8:00 a. m. The morning ad- dress will be delivered by the Rev: Ray- mond R. Jones, of Centre Hall. Special music by a Ladies’ Octette. Not Well Enough Known. We cannot accomplish much in the treatment of dyspepsia, however much we may temporarily relieve its symptoms, so long as the blood re- mains impure. It is a fact not well enough known by people generally that when the stomach, liver and other digestive organs are supplied with im- pure blood, the digestive process is impaired, so as to cause faintness and loss of appetite and sometimes a deranged state of the intestines, and in general all the symptoms of dyspepsia. Hood's Sarsaparilla is of great service in dyspepsia, because it purifies the blood, making it the healthy stimulus the digestive organs must have for the proper performance of their duties, Hood's Sarsaparilla, especially if taken in a little hot water, has “a magic touch” in dyspepsia, ‘Get it today.
