The frame upon which the carpet is being made was perhaps used by the great grandmother of the girl who is now at work and who will hand it down to her Home Life Different From Any Other Part of the World. The traveler who visits the fringe of cities on the coast of Northern Africa which has been added to the long list advertised by the tourist agent, says Day Allen Willey, finds Algiers perhaps the most interesting of all, yet few Americana or Europeans go beyond tho line which divides the French from tho Arabian city, for one Is con- tent to saunter along the boulevards and avenues, with their shops and their mixture of civilized and barbarian attendants. It is In the old Algiers the walled city of the past that one finds a home life different frow perhaps any other country In the world. Although on the half-Parisia- half-Arabia- n trains. 79 W.

When one speaks of art carpets and rugs, the leslgns which come from Teheran, the ancient capital of Peru, Turcom-ini- a and France and Belgium are brought to mind, for the enterprising merchants of these countries have advertised their wares throughout the aew world, but in old Algiers such work was a part of the dally life of the women probably centuries before was weaving thought of in Southeastern Europe. It is believed that in this part of the world was the birthplace of the industry. The Arab women who Jwell behind tLese walls inherit their talent from long lined of ancestors and .he one who can accomplish the finest landlwork is the envy of her for there is a constant rivalry is to the one who can conceive the most beautiful ideas. Weaving is regarded not only as an Accomplishment but as a duty by the ygeriaii, who thinks of the warp and veft as tho housewife the flowers :ralned upon. her porch or the plants io carefully nurtured in the door yard jarden. It is fortunate that weaving a a household custom, for it is indeed i boon to the female who must spend aost of her life in seclusion, enjoying io society except that of her relatives ind friends, veiled from all men except aer kin and her husband. Hour after lour twisting and sorting the yarn, nonotonous as it may be, gives her at east some diversion. There are women in the old city who save probably spent from 10 to 15 fears of constant labor in this way, for :he mechanical processes used in the nod era manufacture of carpets and rugs are unknown and the work Is lone in the same way that it was performed centuries ago. When It is itated that some rapid weavers work !rom 8 to 10 hours dally for a period ;f five or six weeks to make what Is sailed a "carpet" less than three yards n length and two in width, an idea :an be gained of the toil which is ine volved, yet some of the patterns three months' attention day after lay before the last strand is fastened ind It is ready to be sold. Before she enters her teens the girl )f Algiers takes her first lesson in reaving, either under the tuition of some member of the family, or in one )f the schools which are located here tnd there in the city. She has plenty jf time to devote to It, for the girls of the middle and lower classes receive little education In other ways. As yet ld Algiers is rlmost unknown to the Christian teachers or missionaries. Fears are required before one becomes fufflclently expert to perfect the more intricate patterns. One of the first taught is what the European might tall a good luck mark. It Is usually l Final! cress or circular spot placed In jne corner, sometimes In the center of t carpet. Every piece woven has this nark upon It, for It Is considered a afcguard protecting thone who may .read upon It from the evil one. Th? lesign is never wrought in bright rolors, but always In black or some rery dark tint The reason for this Is jnknown. as the Algerians refuse to :ell it. They arc not averse, however, :o vivid colors pnd many of them, they are harmoniously blended, lppartntly through the instinct of the weaver. Nearly every house contain sne or more rooms which are devoted Eo the weaving aa well as embroidery, which is also carried on extensively, although the girls and wkomen have not attained tha perfection reached by jther nations In the industry. As already stated the work Is dne ?ntirely by hand. In pleasant weather ome of the doorjards, if they can be railed cuch merely open courts by the walla of masonry contain a dozen or a score of females each ?assing strand after strand of the yarn apon the rude frame. A wooden block asso-:Iate- s, re-ulr- fut-rounde- d children as a family heirloom. Most of tho carpets are what is known as "pics," 2 Vi yar;ia in length and lVa yards in width. Tba tendency of late Is to work larger designs on ac count of the demand from the 1'rencli merchants who Bell most of this prv duct. While they sell the more elaborate designs for really faublous prices, tho weaver seldom gets over what would be $G in American money for the pics, and for carpets double this size, the average price is about $10, although it may represent three or four months' labor. The buyers come principally from the French colony in Awith the lgiers who are acquainted most expert weavers. They visit the old quarter at legular Intervals. The finest carpets are sent to Paris anf London, where they find a ready sale to tourists and art connoisseurs. LATEST ABOUT BRAINS. Observations on the Relation of Skulls to the Mental Powers. Man's curiosity is naturally boundless concerning his brain, which is believed to bo the scat and the token of that mental power which makes him the undisputed king of the earth, says tho London Express. If the brain were really such a box of drawers as some phrenologists have assumed, with everything in its place and all accounted for, possible faculties human heads could be classified as readily as plants, and nobody could fall to distinguish between them any more than one can fall to select rosea from lilies. One might predict absolutely from a glance at his head that a given young man must become a great financier or a poet or a philosopher with no more danger of a mistake than in asserting that one tree will produce acorns and another apples. But the shrewder sort of phrenologists see that this will not do, and so they endeavor to modify the bases of their science to suit the infinitely varied facts of human nature and , development Is The real progress in brain-studmade by those who undertake the work, as far as possible, without any preconceived and preperfected theory to lead or mislead them. Dr. II. has recently published in the "proceedings of the Royal Scientific Society of Bohemia" some remarkable observations on the relations of the weight of the brain and the size and phape of the skull to the mental powers of man. t These investigations show the Importance of good feeding to brain development The brain cannot do its work without an abundant supply of blood. Other pure, a heavier brain imthings being equal, plies greater mental power, and Dr. Mantlegka finds that persons employed in industries where the nourishment of the body is apt to be Insufficient and the muscular exercise slight, show, as a rule, higher brains than do more favorably circumstanced persons. s Blacksmiths and la have heavier brains than general coachmen; but the latter exceed carpenters in brain weight, and carpenters exceed persons employed in clothing industries, while at the bottom of the scale stand those who are engage! in the manufacture and sale of alcoholic drinks, who are apt to do more or less drinking themselves. It would also appear that the weight of the brain may be Increased by the direct exercise of Its own functions, men of mental training showing, as rule, greater brain weight than others. It should be remembered that the sizt of the head cannot be taken as a trustworthy Index of the weight of the brain.
