Carpets.

Carpets were used in the east from early times They arc known to have been made in China as early as B. c. 2loo and in h. dia B. C. HOO. They are represented on tho Egyptian monuments at date not later than B. c. 5000. In Rome and Athens they were used on state occasions as luxurics. They wero first made In France in 1889. During tho time of Henry VIII, and oven as late us the days of Eliza both, tho most common carpet In the rooms of the English middle classes was 6 layer of straw in winter and of mown grass in summer. One of the charges made against Cardinal Wolsey was that in his state apartments he had fresh supplies of grass OF straw every day in the year, re- newed at considerable cost These primi- tive carpets in the dining rooms of the English soon became very filthy, as the bones and fragments of food were thrown into the straw, which was also used as slseplnE place by tho family dogs.
