From the Spanish cattle, as originally

large, bony frames, are deficient in flesh,

TACT, almost feral in their habits. They
have little value, except to supply in

near future viii be supplanted by better
breeds. 1t is not many years since

CARPETS.
A Salesman Gives Several Little
Points About His Business.

''Do you know anything about car
pets r. was asked New York Mail and
Express reporter the other day by O
travelling salesman of one of the biggest
houses in the trade.
mot very much, was the truthful
reply.
''Well, lots of the carpet men, espe-
cially the retailers. are in just about
the same way" he said. ''They can
tell if the pattern pleases lem, whether
they like the general effect or not, but
MS to understanding the manufacture,
as to telling by feeling or looks how a
carpet is likely TO wear, as to knowing
how a carpet is up to the standard
why, they don't"
"What do you mean by the stand
ard 4"
"Look at this piece of ingram. You
see the threads are interwoyen--across
and lengthwise. Now, third running
across we call pick. Count the
number of picks in an inch. There
should be fourteen. That is the way we
make our standard If there are one,
two or three less than fourteen, you see
the carpet is far more loosely woven
and less durable, though you wouldn't
know the difference on the surface. An
ingram, you know, consists of several
tlicknesses or layers of threads woven
together-'ply,' as we say-that is, two
ply carpet is two thicllnesses of threads,
and three-ply three. The three-ply is
the carpet of our grandmothers After
having fallen into disuse for many years
it is coming in again. No, don't think
the rage for the antique has anything to
do with it; people are beginning to be-
lieye again in its seryiceability-tha is
all.
$50 much for the cheaper carpets
the more expensive kinds, the Brussels
and the Wiltons, are woven on a back
upon wires running crosswise the
standard is ten to an inch. The wires
drawn, semi-cylindrical tubes of wool
are left. This is the surface Of the
Brussels carpet. The Wiltons differ in
this way, that the tubes of wool are
woven thicker and higher. The wires
here have knife attachment on the end,
and upon being withdrawn by machin
cry, split directly through the top Of the
tiny tube Arich and plush like surface
is thus formed. Here YOU can get
effects and delicacy of tints and shades
that you can't have in Brussels carpet.
Compare these two pieces" and he
threw ON the floor side by side Wilton
and n Brussels. Now these are exact
~ the same pattern. This is evident
made of exactly the same shade and
kind of wool That is not so evident,
for it doesn't seem so in the least their
effect is totally different. The plush
and yelyety surface of the Wilton has
soitness, a richness, delicacy which
makes the Brussels look fiat beside it.
Still, you wouldn't notice the difference
unless you compare them directly, as
We have been doing. This carpet, the
Wilton, is thicker and finer and heavier
and handsomer than the other, but it
cost Just about twice rs much. An Ak
Oh, that is the finest Of all. "
