price, so that at this date oriental rugs
are within the reach Of many persons of
moderate means It remains only to Sc
lect the best for a given price. If you
are within reach of a reliable dealer,
you can depend upon his word to sup
plement your ignorance, but there are
often opportunities to purchase at sec
Ondhand, and for such it is wise to &C
quire beforehand a certain amount Of
knowledge on the subject. This is to be
obtained first and best by the inspection
of some large stock, but if this is out of
the question send for catalogues and
read all that you can find appertaining
to rugs, with a view to assisting the
uninitiated A writer who has studied
up the subject describes some of the
more popular weaves in a letter to
Modern Priscilla. She writes:
The Ushak carpets are among the
most desirable, provided you get one of
the best, but unfortunately in that dis
trict in Asia Minor several worthless
grades are also woven. Bokhara rugs are
great favorites and generally come in
small designs and rich shades of reds
deepening to black. They have a long
and extremely lustrous pile. Similar to
these are the antique Afghan carpets,
which are a comparatively recent addi-
ton to the new world markets, having
only been brought into notice since the
railroad penetrated to Bokhara and
Khiva.
The Kaudahar rugs are noted for their
choice colorings and are made only of
the finest picked wool. The designs are
reproductions of the most ancient car
pets.
The Anatolian prayer rugs can be
compared to nothing so we'll as to the
finest stained glass. They are veritable

pictures. Mecca rugs. with a small
shawl design in the center and the rich
est of borders, are very popular and give
most excellent wear. Kazacs are simply
indestructible. They have an immense
ly thick rather than long pile and are
perhaps less soft in coloring than other
varieties.
Daghestan rugs, woven in province
in the Caucasus, are among the most
desirable Of the smaller rugs. They
come usually about 3 by SO and are
very reasonable in price. They are made
in fast colors and of good wool
Rugs are easily cleaned and handled,
and for this reason moths do not have
the opportunity to get in their destruc-
tive work as upon an ordinary carpet.
But even in the cleaning there is a right
and a wrong way. They should be swept
with long, regular strokes the way of
the nap, and they must never, never be
shaken violently from one end, as this,
sooner or later, loOsens the tightest
warp, and if the rug is an old one it
is only matter of time for the weak
spots to become holes To thoroughly
cleanse them lay them on the lawn, face
down, and beat them with many stripes,
using a long, slender rod.

Care OF Rugs.
The housewife is annually agitated
with doubts as to whether rugs or car
pets will best suit her purse and sur
roundings. If she decides in favor Of
rugs, there then remains the distracting
problem Of domestic or oriental to be
solved. There are floors SO uneven and
badly laid with boards so stained and
patched as to surface that rugs are out
of the question, but on polished floor,
OR on one of narrow, even, well matched
boards tastefully stained and vanished,
there is no handsomer, more artistic or
economical floor covering than oriental
rugs. But even among oriental weaves
there are rugs and rugs. There are over
ITO different weaves, comprising differ

wearing qualities and beauty. There are
also the new and the antique, and those
