ORIENTAL WOMEN WEAVERS. None Can Surpass Them In Making Tap- estries and Carpets.

'The somewhat popular conception of the oriental woman is rather erroneous. It is that of one who is destined to a life of utter iuxury. Yet the simple truth is that the large majority of women in the east work quite as hard for their daily bread as do their sisters in the west—aye, even harder, for, as a rule, married women in the west are supported by their husbands whereas in the east married women are, av a rule, constrained to support not only themselves, but also their husbands and children.

This statement applies especially to the thousands of women in Turkey, Persia and other countries of the orient who make a living as weavers. The whole civilized world appreciates their handiwork, for none can match them in making tapes- tries, carpets and other gorgeous products of the loom. This is the age of machinery, but no machine has yet been invented which can do the marvelous work of these oriental weavers. Yet many of these wom- en work for pitiful wages. After cleaning and preparing the wool and shaping it in- to a lovely piece of tapestry, all they re- ceive is the equivalent of from 2 shillings to 4 shillings a week. The woman who can earn 7 francs is considered a Croesus, and her keabene esteems her so much that he never dreams of beating her. The mon- ey is always paid to the husband, and he invariably appropriates it.

‘They are yery womanly, these weavers. Of gossip they are fond, and while they ara at work their tongues are constantly going. Perhaps this is ene reason why they have so obstinately refused to herd to- gether in factories, where the constant whir of machinery, not to speak of the surveillance of a forenian, would very probably compel them to Keep silent. In order to fashion a first class carpet or piece of tapestry the weaver must not only have a memory which will prevent her from making the slightest mistake while copy- ing the design, but she must also possess a lively imagination and a thoroughly de- veloped artistic sense, for the first class weaver does not copy; she creates. She in- vents her own designs, she combines the various tones, she chooses the dyes and the shades, and finally she obtains those effects which seem so charming to us of the west, and with good reason.—London Mail.

QUEER CUSTOMS.

Some of the Domestic Manners of the Mountaineers of Norway. * Thad given upali thought of doing any- thing in life but jump from one sharp bowlder to another when, as we suddenly rounded a crag, Vigdal stopped again, and turning to the left entered a door that seemed to go into the rock. It was a soli- tarry saeter, or stone hut, standing in the lonely valley by itself and quite different from the club huts we had already seen. Two hunters, with their wives, live here during the summer months, the men hunt- ing reindeer and their wives keeping house. The hut consisted of a few ftet of earth inclosed by a wall of stone 6 feet thick, 6 feet high and covered by a foot of earth laid upon boards. Inside a partition divided the space into two rooms, the one nearest the door for cows, dogs and kettles, and the other, with the earth for a carpet, for cooking, eating. sleeping and general living apartment.

The room was now quite as full, not as comfort, but as square feet of space, allow- ed, and supper being over Vigdal asked us if we did not want to get off our wet clothes and go to bed. We glanced at the two women, but Vigdal did not seem to see anything unusual in their presence and forthwith began to undress. He hung bis outer clothing by the fire and then got into one of the beds with his wet under- clothes on. Even the presence of the two women could not force us to do this, and after looking inquiringly at our guide again we gathered ourselves into a corner and prepared for bed, with some doubts as to the cenventionalities of Norway.

We might have spared ourselves the worry. The women took not the slightest notice of us, but went on clearing away the supper and washing the dishes. When we were in bed, they took our clothes and calmly hung them one by one in a semi- circle before the fire. Whether the women were going to spend the night in the hut or not did not now seem so important an affuir as the solution of where they were to sleep. But this was soon scttled when Vigdal, on being anxicusty questioned, said that they were going a mile or two up the valley to another hut. And our wonder at Norwegian customs increased as we thought of the storm in full torce out- side and the calm manner in which Vigdal had made us part agents in turning out these kindly hostesses. —Hambien Seurs in Harper’s Magazine.

The Curtain Habit.

‘‘There }s just one thing that makes me an enemy of smoke,’’ said the old citizen te g Cleveland Plain Dealer reperter, ‘and that is the fact that it has given my wife the curtain habit. What is the curtain habit? Well, if you were a married man you would know. It’s the habit of taking down and putting up lace curtains. 1 come home at night and pretty soon my wife says: ‘Well, I'vuv got ta take down those curtains again. They're not fit to be seen, and we can t have a soul in the house until they are clean.’ ‘What’s the matter with them?’ 1 feebly ask. ‘*Mat- ter? Why, it’s this dreadful smoke. It gets in everywhere. I never saw anything like it.’ The next day my wife has the curtains dcwn and on the frames or else pinned on the floor. The next day she is al:inost dead with fatigue brought on by putting them up again. And that’s the way it goeson. Every few weeks the cur- tains come down and go up, and my wife groans with the exertion and home is far from sunny. ‘Talk about Caudle’s curtain lectures; they are nothing compared with the domestic curtain habit.’’

She Played Again.

Mrs. M., a well known Bostonian, who talks very wittily and plays very well, once asked Professor Biackenstein what made him so thoughtful.

‘*Madam,”’ be replied, ‘‘I am wondering how it is you can make the piano talk so divinely and yourself so foolishly?"’

‘*Ah, well,’’ retorted Mrs. M., ‘‘you see, the piano knows it has me to listen to it, whereas I know I have only you to listen to me, which inakes tke difference. ”’

‘“*] pray you,’’ said the professor, ‘* play again. I like your playing best. ’’—Brook- lyn Life.

The skin of the reindeer is so impervious to the cold that any one clothed in such a dress, with the additien of a blanket of the same material, may bear the intensest rigors of an arctic winter's night.

There is always room at the top, but the fellows at the top are not the ones who make it.—Cleveland Leader.
