Cliarmlns and Costly Noveltie« Exhibited by New York Dealers. Caston« Observed by the Turkl»h l’eople When Malting Purchase». Cups and saucers are shown in infinite variety of shape, color and design. The bowl-sha)x‘d cup is preferred by many of the best authorities, while others choose those that have almost straight sides. Especial attention is given to after-dinner cups. They are to be found in almost every imaginable shape, and with all sorts of quaint and fanciful suggestions in form and decora­ tion. Shell-shaped saucers have cups following the idea of the shell as nearly as possible, the handles being in the form of smaller shells of various sorts. A popular handle is a pair of butterfly wings very slightly spread. Bronzed handles are popular, and although not a novelty, are seen upon some of the finest of the new designs. Some handles appear like forke 1 or irregular branches of trees. They are cut squarely off, having little projecting twigs, very odd-looking and pretty. There are also cups an I saucers with raised enamel, and fine vine patterns that are among the most popular of the current styles. This relief work, how­ ever, is seriously objected to by sensi­ tive persons, as the contact of spoon or fork with an uneven surface is thought to be somewhat trying to people of delicate nerves. Such persons will do well to select dishes that show relief only on the edges or the outside. Salad 4ets are brought odt both in square and oblong-square shapes, the plates in either being perfectly square or round, according to fancy, or square with a small portion of each corner cut off. Other styles are oblong or half­ deep, with round or octagon plates. The styles in fruit or berry sets number scores, each one rivaling the other in beauty of form, pattern and quality of decoration. Special attention seems to have been given to this department of table-ware, and with the happiest results. Some housekeepers disregard all ideas of matching in these sets, and select a large, deep bowl of fine cut glass, with some of the choice fancy wares. There are shell porcelain dishes for serving the fruit that are extremely pretty with these cut-glass bowls. They are made with raised patterns, and appear as though set with jewels, so brilliant are the colorings of the flowers and foliage. Ice cream sets are somewhat more conventional in shape. As cream is frequently sent to the table in long bars, an oblong dish or platter is most convenient for the purpose. The plates are either square, round or of fanciful form, or fancy glass dishes may be used with equal propriety. With the present wealth of design and shape the artistic householder can scarcely go wrong selecting from the standard makers of china, and if her taste is cultivated her table may be as perfect, judged by an artistic standard, as her means will allow. In the way of odd pieces there is almost endless variety. Special dishes with chaiacteristic decorations are fur­ nished for almost every article of food. Bread plates have a design of a folded napkin laU across the middle. As­ paragus dishes look like the stalks of the plant either in wicket-work design or in the form of one-half of a large bunch of the vegetable as it appears in market. There are baskets for rolls, covered dishes for cheese, egg dishes, long, slender celery boats, sardine dishes with attached or independent trays, according to taste. Platters have metal points upon which the game or roast may be impaled, for the con­ venience of inexperienced or careless carvers and the absolute destruction of carving-knives. There are very attractive pudding dishes with metal baking dishes to place inside. Some of the new styles in fine ware are peculiarly attractive and unique in form and decoration. Dishes for sauces are shown in vari­ ous shapes. Those designed for the fish course are made in the shape of a fish, with one side hollowed out and the tail turned upward for a handle. Reg­ ular gravy and sauce tureens and b >ats are made, with attached or separate trays. Some of them have china ladles, but they are so fragile that nearly all housekeepers must resort to silver la­ dles sooner or lately and the demand for those of china are decreasing. There are few novel features in the extensive and varied stock of cracker jars, oatmeal sets, oyster dishes and bone plates. The latter are larger than those that were first brought out, and there is such a steady and growing de­ mand for them that they hid fair to be­ come a part of the regular dinner­ service. Large boats or flat, low dishes for floral decorations for the table are inter esting. They come in several sizes; those very low and Hat, not unlike a platter, with perpendicular rim, are most convenit nt. In them the flowers are arranged by the skilled florist, a centerpiece being added or not ac­ cording to fancy.— Domestic Monthly. Like most Turkish towns, Sivas has Its covered bazars, but they are notex- tensive, and are not particularly worthy of notice. Most of the mer­ cantile business is done on two long streets, running nearly parallel with each other. These streets are lined on both sides with shops. They are nar­ row and ill-paved, and, during business hours, are so crowded with men, horses, donkeys and cattle that they arc difficult of passage. A little rain covers the uneven cobblestones with mud as slippery as ice, making pedes- trianism any thing but pleasant. There are no sidewalks. A line of stones through the center is raised a little above the level of the street and serve as stepping stones when the mud is very bad, which it generally is. The stores are merely booths. They boast neither counters, shelves nor chairs. The floor is elevated two or three feet above the street, and there the mer- chant sits on his heels with his goods spread around him. The customer stands in the street, or, if he be a man of importance, climbs upon the plat- form and sits with the merchant. Buy­ ing any thing of any value is a very elaborate process. It is not to be hur­ ried over, and requires a vast deal of bargaining. If the buyer is a foreigner the dealer is vo^j-deferential and ment­ ally marks his 'goods lod per cent, higher. When the customer goes into the shop and sits down, before any thing is said about buying, coffee is served. Then the merchant rolls a cigarette ami hands it to his guest. Pipes instead are sometimes offered, but not often now, as the cigarette has almost entirely dis­ placed the pipe in Asia Minor. After the coffee and the smoke, the subject of purchasing something is gradually ap­ proached. Not abruptly; that would involve a loss of dignity, but slowly and circumspectly—casually, as it were—as if the buying of any thing was a mere after-thought not intended in the first place. The customer has just dropped in for a friendly call. The merchant is not a merchant, but a host entertaining a guest. This pleasant little fiction is kept up for half an hour or more, until, by gradual approaches, the customer indi­ cates what he wants. After due time spent in discussing the quality of the goods, the customer asks the price in an off-hand way, as if he were not particu­ larly interested. The merchant replies: “O, whatever your Highness pleases,” or “I shall be prowl if your High­ ness will do me tlwe honor of accepting it as a gift.” This, of course, is a mere form of Oriental politeness and means nothing, as both parties under­ stand; it is merely a graceful introduc­ tion to the haggling over the price which is sure to follow, for the Turkish merchant never has a fixed price for any thing. To do so would be to vio­ late all the principles of his mercantile code. What he sells a thing for de­ pends entirely on the customer. When the buyer insists on having a price stated the seller will, with engaging frankness, with a manner of silk and a forehead of bra s, name a figure at least four times what the article is worth. Then the real business com­ mences. The buyer offers a half or a fourth of what he expects finally to give. The “war of words to cheapen this or that” is then indefinitely con­ tinued, each gradually yielding a point until they finally agree on a figure. This bargaining, w th the loud talk which accompanies it, is very amusing to a foreigner, unless he is personally interested, when it becomes generally exasperating. — Cor. Boston Herald.

ABOUT WOOD CARPET. A Profitable lndiistry That Is Monopolized by Four American Firm». Tiie use of wood carpet is constantly on the increase, and there is scarcely any limit to the prospects for it. This kind of floor covering can be made so as to sell as cheaply as a good quality of ingrain, or it can be so wrought with costly woods is to sell at one dollar or more a foot. Good oak, ash and maple carpet can bo sold at between eighty arid ninety cents a yard. Finished in oil, it is good enough for any ordinary use. For wainscoting and ceiling it is admirably adapted. The process of making wood carpet is comparatively simple, though with the work must be done exactitude, Carefully adjusted saws strip the lumber into the desired thickness and width, the latter differing according to the work re- quirt'd. The stuff’ is then subjected to the saws that cut it out in proper shape for inlaying, to form the fabric and figure of the carpet. This must be done with much particularity, as each of the multiform pieces must exactly fit. The arrangement of the pieces and the gluing of them is done by lads, and looks like slow work, but yards arc thus woven with fair celerity. Canvas is glued on one «ide to give strength to the fabric. The carpet is then sub­ jected to sand paper, and is finally fin­ ished with hard oil. The designing of wood carpet is tedious and expensive. Sometimes the manufacturer devises and works out a pattern at great ex­ píense, only to find that it does not suit ihe popular taste, and must lie thrown aside. The popularity of woods also fluctuates, as it «loes in interior finish. Plain, white oak carpet is now very salable, because it is cheap, finishes well, and is of lasting quality.— N. B’. Lumberman. BOLD RAILWAY THIEVES. How Traveler» In Italy Are Hobbed of the Content» of Tlielr Trunk». English travelers in Italy have now and then had occasion to perceive that their luggage was not safe from depre­ dations which could only be charged to the railway employes, but com­ plaints have always been fruitless even to diminish the number of thefts ex­ cept for a short period, some years since, when a lady of the diplomatic world had her jewels taken neatly out of her trunk, which cnuse-1 official ac- tion ai d detection of the dishonest officials, when for a time the thefts were less common, The effect of tin investigation which then took place. however, passed away, and now we have another Princess robbed and an­ other inquisition, for railway robberies, like collisions, require victims in high positions to secure the intention of the authorities. In the last ten years I have had my luggage rilled live times before 1 learned the way to treat it, which is, first, to put nothing in the luggage which can be of value to the thieves; and, secondly, to see that the locks arc such as can not be tampered with without showing it when the luggage is delivered. Some cautious people carry leaden seals and pincers with cipher, and seal all the luggage as if it were going from Rome to Florence. This is effective. The thieves have access to the lug­ gage vans, and work while the train is in motion. They generally drive out the pin of the hasp of the lock or those of the hinges, go carefully through the contents, put them back as carefully, after having taken what they want, and put the pins of lock or hinges back in their place. The thefts are gener­ ally limited to luggage going through Italy or that which evidently belongs to foreigners. If a box has luggage tickets on it showing that it goes back and forth continually in Italy the thieves let it alone. The owner of the luggage thus does not discover the theft till too far from the thief to com­ plain. Complaint is, however, of no use. In one personal experience, in which my w ife’s trunk had been deli­ cately overlooked and £20 extracted from an envelope in a writing-case at the bottom, w here it was put at Turin, every thing else having been carefully replaced, I made complaint to the station-master at Venice, as soon as we found that the money was missing, and the magnanimous official laughed at me, saying: “If you fear for your ef­ fects take them into the carriage with you,” at which the whole staff’ haw- hawed uproariously; it was so good a joke to propose to take a lady’s trunk into the passenger carriage. In an­ other case I found a portmanteau forced open, so that I was aware of the robbery before I took my luggage from the station, and at once called the at­ tention of the officials to it, when they replied that as the luggage had passed over several roads it was impossible to say where it was done.— Rome Cor. London Times. WEBSTER ANC POLK. The Uberal'tr of the Former and Plca- yiin'Khiio»» of the I.after, In conversation a few days since with an old resident of Washington, who was proprietor of a large custom and ready-made clothing establish- ment on Pennsylvania avenue when James K. Polk was President, he said of all the great men of that time whom he knew or had business transactions with. Polk was the most picayunish, and Webster the largest-hearted. One day Webster came in to select cloth f r a dress suit. Almost always beg­ gars, mostly women beggars, watched him as he went in and out of his favor­ ite resorts on the avenue, and ap­ proaching him with pitiful tales, never failed to get money, if he had it. This time he had hardly got inside the door when in came a poor old wom­ an, and with tears trickling down h r wrinkled cheeks suppli­ cated for alms. Webster was more out of humor than was his wont, and Cramming his big hands down into his small pants pockets and brought out a piece of money and said: “Here, take this and be off with you, or I’ll have you arrested! It’s all I have got for you.” After selecting the cloth for his suit he put his hand in his pocket to make the accustomed advance pay­ ment. Turning the pocket inside out and lo king at it, he sai l: “If I didn’t give that woman a ten-dollar gold piece! Well, it’s all the same! It’ll do her more good than I could have got out of it Charge the whole amount!” He rarely asken the price of any thing, ami never intimated that it was exorbitant, as Polk always did. Of course, knowing his weakness in this direction, many tradespeople im­ posed upon him.—.Vimwa/io/«« Trib- une. THE DAYS OF ’49. Interesting Extract» frtim an Old Califor- nhin*» Day-Hook.
