Ooshak, large village Of artisans,
about six days journey due east from
Smyrna, IL the headquarters Of the
manufacture Of the carpets known for
generations ~ Turkey carpets" The
patterns are Turkish, or rather Ara
besqus. A carpet between seven and
eight yards long will employ eight
women at once, working side by side.
Their wages are about eight piastres q
week, which, It is calculated, comes 70
about forty-three cents for each yard Of
carpet woven. The wool used comes
from the villages round about, and ID
bought for about . halfpenny pound
in its unclean state. When washed

Of 1t weight. The foundation OF the
carpet IL made Of an inferior wool, and
the whole material of the fabric may
cost sixty-seven cents q yard. This
does not include the dyeing, which I.
managed by the men, and forms the
chief item Of cost. The colors are pro-
duced for the most part with madder,
cochineal, and indigo.
