PERSIAN CARPETS AND RUGS
Costly Work Done in Peasants Houses
1.-The Luxurious Carpets
Called NOmadS.



The far-famed rugs and carpets of Persia are
largely made by peasants at their homes, and
are in reality q sort of needlework. United
States Consul general Benjamin. at Teheran,
has sent to the State Department a long account
of the business. He says there are four leading
classes of these carpets-the large sized, the
rugs, the ghileem, or knitted goods, and the
nomads, or felt carpets. Carpets produced in
Irak are called paraghans, and are trmer than
other Persian carpets. Large sized carpets must
be made to order.
Besides the paraghan carpets he says,
floors are also carpeted sometimes with fabrics
from Kerwanshab, Hawaiian, and the district of
Laurstan. Also, for this purpose, the carpets
of Mech-Kabad, in Khorassen are available,
although of inferior texture to the paraghan.
The carpets of Kerwan have the texture fitted
to the rough usage required in covering floors
but, while perhaps of superior quality to the
paraghan they are always small and proportion
atey more expensive.
The Persian carpet par excellence is the rug.
The Persans use these in preference to large
sizes. First covering the earth floor with a
hasseer or mating of split reeds, they lay over
it many rugs, which completely conceal the mat
This arrangement when composed of rugs Of
harmonious designs is very rich, while the cost
is actually less than if one large carpet were en-
ployed instead
The varieties of Persian rugs are humorous
In some Sorts like the Turkowau, there Is a
general similarity of design although no two
rugs are altogether identical But in other
classes such rs the rugs of Kerwan, Dyochegan
or Kurdistan, there is endless variety in design
and texture"

Hog Cholera in the East.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct ia dispatch from
Easton, Pa, says the hog cholera has prevailed
for some time at Phillipsburg, Warren county,
New Jersey, and that during the past
year one-half the hogs in that vicin-
ity have died from the disease, which
has spread to South Easton and proved as fatal,
comparatively, as in Phillipsburg. The disease
was next heard of at Glendon, two miles from
opposite Glendon. About two weeks ago the
disease reached Catasaqua, Hokendauqua and
Coplay, and is now raging at these places. In
the forepart Of the week the cholera made its
appearance at Mauch Chunk, Hazelton and
Whitehaven, and indications are that before the
time comes for preparing pork for winter the
disease will have spread over the greater part of
eastern Pennsylvania.

The Capitol an Insect Cemetery.

WASHINGTON Oct 1.-THE removal of the ap-
planes for electric lighting of the Capitol shows
that the building is in a most untidy condition,
on account of the billions of insects which the
brlliancy of the electric light attracted, and
whose skeletons are either hanging on the walls,
heaps all over the recesses of the roof. There
are myriads or May flies, beetles, crickets ear
wigs, dragon flies, grasshoppers, caddis flies,
bees, wasps, ants, hornets, butterflies, plant
lice, water beetles, whirligigs, shippers, horned
insectoria known to the surrounding swamps
and woods of Washington. 1t will probably
require the aid of scrapers and brooms to re-
move these skeletons from the walls and the
roofing.
