A DEMOCRATIC CLUB is the latest thing
proposed. Why not have one? They
exist in other parts of the State. Our
cin ha? many active, earnest, young and
Bitddlc-nged Democrats who, if they
weie to form a good club or society,
might exert a powerful influence. The
governing principles should be truly
Democratic. Piinciples, not men, should
be the motto. Any attempt to format)
organization to boom any pet project or
pi t candidate would be far from the true
pin pose. Individual ambitions must be
subordinate to the common good of the
paity. This is a true governing principle
in all successful party work. Sometimes
men fail to recognize it, and, when disap
pointed in their schemes, sell out them
selves and their friends. Democrats of
the future city of Johnstown, do not
throw away your chances of being the
dominating party, by allowing personal
envy to be excited within your ranks.
Organize, proceed cautiously aud fairly,
and success is yours.
HOW CANNON villi HO RED.
An article in St. Nieholnt magazine is
devoted to the subject of boring cannon.
Tiie operation is said to be a tedious
work aud attended with great care, and
requirfiig much skill. The boring tool or
bit is held firm and motionless, as the
boring is to be straight and true. This
m iy hold true of certain kinds of cannon,
but is not true of the manner in which
the operation is performed on the Con
gre.-sman of that name from Illinois, aud
just now a candidate for Speaker of the
House of Representatives. lie is said to
be borod nearly to death by Congressmen
who want p'edges concerning chairman
ships, etc. In his case the boring tool is
not "held Arm and motionless," hut wags
coustantly ; and while great skill may be
evinced by the borer, the boring, how
ever, is neither straight nor true. Tims
you see Cannon are not always bored in
the same way,

pressing necessities would be fully met in
a few short months. Years will be re
quired to place the town—city, we ilmul i
say, in a condition when all signs ami
effects of our great disaster shall disip

some that should be attended to ut mice
—things that are indispensable, not only
as convenience, but as necessities in .

ABOUT ORIENTAL RUGS.
THE LOVELY PRODUCT OF EAST
ERN RELIGIOUS LIFE.
Every Worshiper an Arttat—Tha Prayer
Bug of the Turk —A Great Institution
with Both Moslem and Chrittlan Pa
tient Industry and Consummate Skill.
In all sizes and in all possible colors,
with figures fantastic or designs most
exquisite; soft and glossy as a seal fur
or thick and shaggy as a hear skin;
fresh from the looms of Persia or old as
the empire of the sultans, and bearing
the dust of the Caucasus, come the ori
ental rugs to the marts of western civili
zation.
'he oriental rug is the product of
eastern life. The mountain sheep sup
plied its material, nature taught the de
sign nnd gave the coloring, and the re
ligion of the people became the impulse
and guiding spirit of the deft woman
fingers that through many centuries
spread the knotted mystic covers in the
homes and shrines of the orient.
Eastern life is religion. The people
eat, drink, work and think according to
the dictates of their traditional faith;
and though the idea of utility may have
some time largely entered into the pro
duction of rugs in the orient, the domi
nant spirit of the work has been religion,
and the rug is thus sacred in the eyes of
the people.
In the prayer of the Islam center va
rious sacred ideas. He bows down bo
fore his Maker, and the material on
which he rests his hands must be suscep
tible to spotless cleanliness; he wants to
find himself in an atmosphere of high
thoughts and sacred suggestions, and as
he looks down in kneeling he sees the
living green and crimson—symbols of
life and power—mingled in all mystic
figures with blue and gold that carry
to him faint ideas of love and glory. At
home in the rooms where the morning
sun looks in. the pious Turk finds in his
prayer rug the associations of the
mosques in his native city, or of the
holiest of holies where he prayed in
his pilgrimage to Mecca, in the form of
domes and panels and the designs of en
caustic tiles, and peculiar arrangements
of stone and brick in the walls; so that
wherever the worshiping Turk may be
found, kneeling upon a prayer rug
against the eastern sky, the soul finds
itself in the midst of sacred associations
and breathes the holy atmosphere of the
temple where it has prayed with the
faithful.
Thus dignified, the oriental rug became
a great institution among the peoples ol
the orient, both Moslem and Christian,
and industry and talent have been de
voted to it for centuries. By reason of
the high value thus put upon a good rug,
the mothers and daughters of the people
who set themselves to the arduous task
of "tying up" a rug spared no pains in
procuring the best materials, and their
zeal developed the highest talent. In
many cases they were made for votive
offerings to mosques and shrines; then
nothing was to be spared. Ruskin's
"lamp of sacrifice" was there in all
brightness; it is a gift to God, and must
be costly. The finest wool, the best of
dyes and the highest talent were put
upon the altar, and some of these old
Kazak and Dagliistan rugs that stray
out of a Turkish mosque or shrine are
splendid works of art, witli an exuber
ance of rich, soft coloring and bold de
sign that delight the eyes and call forth
the admiration of appreciative minds.
There is no complicated machinery in
the manufacture of an oriental rug. the
warp being stretched on a simple frame,
and all the rest of the work done
by tying the colored yarn across the
warp in a line, in a peculiar strong knot,
combing it down hard and cutting it the
necessary length. Where each particular
tul't of yarn had thus to be tied in a knot
by the skillful lingers of the artist wea
ver, a medium sized rug of good quality
required the labor of months or years,
according to the simple or elaborate de
sign which the artist carried in mind.
Considering the fact that there was 110
machinery to save labor, no chemicals,
no shadow of an art school, an antique
oriental rug of fair quality, that in color
and texture lias defied tiie tread of cen
turies, is no mean proof of the patient
industry and consummate artistic skill of
the daughters of the orient.
Professor William Thomson tells of an
oriental rug which the family had in
his boyhood in Syria. It had done ser
vice of all kinds long enough to be torn
in two, and the half rug used to go to
the sea shore with the boys to receive no
gentle treatment. When soiled with
earth it would be washed in salt sea
water and thrown on the burning sands
10 dry under the Syrian sun, that can
bleach any tiling; but the only effect of
the ordeal on the half rug would be to
give the colors new life.
What is the intrinsic value of an an
riutle oriental rug? Answer, he who
can That soft, glossy Anatolian prayer
rug. witli fine, intricate design border
ing tiie rich gold ground, is the handi
work of a passionate maiden, who spent
year.-* of patient toil on it, while before
lier mind there slooj the distaut visions
of herself, a mother, kneeling on that
rug in ardent prayer for her children.
I'liut rug cot:!,I hardly be produced
today for its own weight in gold,
for not only the arti t ami the dyes are
gone forever, but the patriarchal days of
peace and 'quiet prosperity that made
such art and labor possible me 110 more
to be found under Turkish skies.
Turkish ruga of the highest quality
have always been made in the region of
the Caucasus mountains by Turks, Ar
menians, Turcomans and Kurds, the lat
ter two tieing nomad races. "Daghis
tan" (which means mountain region) is a
generic name given in the native coun
try to all close woven, heavy, fine wool
rugs, which would naturally be made in
a region where a large portion of the
people are occupied as shepherds rearing
flocks of line sheep. The term "Dagliis
tan," however, has now come-to be uni
versally applied to tiie finest quality of
short nan Caucasus rugs, made generally
oblong in shape.—Herant M. Kiretch
jian in New York Mail and Express.
Th* Spiders of India.
Far up In the mountains of Ceylon
and India there is a spider that spins a
web like bright, yellowish silk, the cen
tral net of which is five feet in diameter,
while the supporting lines, or guys, as
they are called, measure sometimes ten
or twelve feet; and rifling quickly in
the early morning you may dash right
into it, the stout threads twining around
your face like a veil, while, as the
creature who has woven it takes up his
position in the middle, he generally
catches you right on the nose, and,
though he seldom bites or stings, the
contact of Ids targe body and long legs
is anything but pleasant. If you forget
yourself and try to catch him, bite lie
will, and, though not venomous, his
jaws are as powerful as a bird's beak,
and you are not likely to forget the en
counter. The bodies of these spiders
are very handsomely decorated, being
bright gold or scarlet underneath, while
the upper part is covered with tiie most
delicate slate colored fur. So strong are
the webs that birds the size of larks are
frequently caught therein, and even the
small but powerful scaly lizzard falls a
victim. A writer says that he has often
sat and watched the yellow monster
measuring, when waiting for his prey
with his legs stretched out, fully six
inches —striding across the middle of the
net, and noted the rapid manner in
which he winds his stout threads around
the unfortunate captive. He usually
throws the coils about the h<Mid till the
wretched victim is first ffiiided and
then choked. In many unfrequented
dark nooks of the jungle you come across
most perfect skeletons of small birds
caught in these terrible snares, the
strong folds of which prevent the deli
cate bones from falling to the ground
after the wind and weather have dis
persed the flesh and feathers.—Ex
change.
Homely Philosophy.
Insincerity is often mistaken for a lack
of honesty.
The ring of gold is often the knell of
friendship.
They never need fear a fall who never
scale the heights.
Adversity undermines many a struct
ure of prosperity.
He who wisely uses his wealth need
not leave it for his tombstone
The sight of a man's money is often
times the antidote for the odor of a very
bad character.
If you would avoid the suspicion of
your neighbors, never carry your molas
ses in a demijohn.
Prosperity awaits all men, and even
pursues some, but it is never found in
the haunts of vice.
True genjus lurketh under cover,
while arrogance stalks abroad in the full
light of day.
The most wonderful work of God is
man; but brand him slanderer and God
will disown his work.
The wisest fish long escapes the most
dangerous hooks, and is finally caught
with a bent up pin.
The ambition of youth looks forward
to the triumphs of age, while sated age
turns back a wistful eye along the rosy
path of youth.
It is well the book of life is opened to
us page by page. Were all the hard lines
bared at once the task would be too hard
to master.
Not only should careless statements re
garding our neighbors bo ignored, but
facts themselves should bo often sub
dued in the interest of right thinking and
fairness to our fellows.—Arkansaw Trav

The Parrot Joked Him.
The small sized advertising man with
the Brobdignagian mustache and the
two-ton cane is nothing if not dignified,
but his dignity received a royal shock
one morning not long ago. He resides
over near the domicile of one James
Hitchcock, who has achieved a batting
record in the drug business second to
none. Mr. Hitchcock owns an emerald
parrot which has a remarkable command
of language, and on fine days this parrot
is given a place in the front window
overlooking the sidewalk. It was a fine
day when the small advertising man
passed the house, wearing his Niagara
mustache and auditorium cane. The
parrot was in the window, and as the
hero of our story walked by with great
dignity the green parrot 6aid: "How
d'ye do, little boy?" The advertising man
was taken aback, hut lie replied: "How
d'ye do, Polly?" He did not really mean
it. however, as lie was somewhat sore on
the parrot's reference to his size.—Chi
cago Herald.
Caters of Meat.
As a rule the meat eater livvs more
rapidly than the vegetarian,much more
likely to overfeed anil give hisTicritory
apparatus too much to do, ami so far is
more liable to disease. This* is a matter
lie should take into consideration, for
there is no doubt that most of us eat too
much meat for continuance of health,
especially so if the animal litas not
been carefully fed and nurtured, and
properly killed, with sul'/'eieiil loss of
Mood It is here probably, and in insuf
ficient or improper cooking and keeping,
that danger from ptomaines (cadaveric
alkaloids—alkaloids which form in a
dead animal body) arises These are
probably most dangerous in badly killed
and cooked meats on the second, third
and fourth days.—Professor E. M. Swan
nick.
Tlio of A rue:lie.
The effects of the continued use of
arsenic have been the subject of so much
discussion of late that the following, an
expert's opinion. will bo read with inter
est: "My experience in its medicinal use
has been very considerable, and my im
pressions as regards its effects when long
coutinuod are certainly very different
from what we have recently seen so free
ly expressed I never knew a patient
become fond of arsenic, or experience
agreeablo effects from its long continu
ance. On the contrary, nothing but
anxiety to be rid of a loathsome skin
disease will induce the majority of those
for whom it is prescribed to continue
taking it."—Once a Week.

Hangings on to trees and fencca,
In bis efforts to explore. I
Startling to a body's senses

If a window patn was shattered.
Or a missile cleaved the air,
If the street's repose was scattered— '
Heads out peeping everrwhera—
Little need for explanation.
All bad happened oft before:
Mite of terror and vexation

Cnts and dogs by Intuition
Knew of his approach and fled;
Jaunty was the hat's position
On his roguish, curly heart.
As with bearing independent
He wotlhl bound the eroadngs o'sr:
With good nature all resplendent
Waa the liltJe lioy next doort
Brave, chlvalrlrand respectful
To the old who came his way
With a sympathy regretful
Toward each beggar, day by day;
How the wild and taine were mlnglad
In tils nature's bounteous store'
How my nerves were hourly tlugled
By that little boy next door

Gen. Knox, of revolutionary fame. was
a man of quick perceptions and ready
wit, and ■ withal was accustomed to say
what lie pleased After the war lie lived
at Thoinastown. Me., where he had a
large estate
Gen George Ulrner, of one of the
neighboring towns, presented himself to
Gen. Knox one day as a land surveyor
He detailed somewhat ostentatiously his
long experience, together with his recent
purchase of a new and very superior set
of instruments If Gen Knox needed
any service in his line, he would engage
to give perfect satisfaction.
"You're the very man I have been
looking fori" exclaimed Gen. Knox. "I
have a hundred acres of land which I
wish to divide into house lots of ten acres
each llow many will it make'"
Glutei' was considerably disconcerted
by the suddenness of the question, and,
naturally enough, was prepared to find
it difficult lie began to collect himself,
mentally re-stating the premises, and
striving to acquire sufficient coolness tc
solve the problem correctly
Gen. Knox counted as inanv seconds
as lis thought necessary, and then inter
rupted t lie other's cogitations by remark
ing, abruptly. "Oh, well, it's no matter
about an immediate answer. Any other
time will do just as well." and at once
fell to talking about something else
Ulrner was so chagrined at his own
stupidity that he never broached the sub
ject afterward. —Y'outh's Companion.

Nobody ever saw a Chinaman with
muddy shoes, no matter what the
weather, unless some hoodlums had
pushed him into a puddle. We take care
of our feet instinctively, and get into a
habit of walking carefully. If you
watch on a muddy crossing you will see
one American after another pick his way
over cautiously, and yet land on the
other side with mud on his toes, while a
Chinaman will walk along after them at
his usual gait, and, seemingly not notic
ing his feet, stepping on the other curb
with not a particle of mud on the tops of
his shoes. But when he crossed the
street lie did not walk as the American
did Had he done so he would have
been as muddy as they. They stepped
along gingerly on their toes, or, at least,
the front part of the foot. In this way
they put all the weight of their body on
the thinnest part of the shoe, front top

each s'.op the mud touched the leather.
