The most costly rugs in the world
come from Persia. The beautiful soft
ness and peculiar sheen of these rugs
are due to the constant treading of bare
feet. The rugs are made of goats hair
and wool combined. All oriental rugs
are hand made and each piece of wool
inserted is tied twice. Years of labor
are involved in making some of the
largest of these floor coverings, but
they never wear out. When a rug is
made it has to be subjected to years of
foot wear before it becomes at all valu-
able. Many of the Persian rugs now in
use have been walked on more than
100 years and are still as new as ever.

The parade had the magnificent splen-
dor that only dress parade can have,

period of attendance is always deter
mined by the queen. They serve two at
time, and, during attendance, which
is usually four weeks, they reside at
court. During this time they must
be in readiness to obey her majesty's
commands, sent by the equerry. Now
that so few state entertainments are
given their duties are light. The queen
has really two lives-one her court life
at Windsor, the other her private life
at Balmoral and Osborne.
The maids of honor in turn attend her
ut all the state ceremonials and bear
her company in her retirement. They
drive with the queen, read to her, sing
to her, play to her, or converse, as she
determines, using their special accom-
plishments for her pleasure. A clear
and beautiful handwriting is neces-
sity, for they have many letters to write
and copy; they must be good horse
women, and, of all things. good mu-
sicians. The queen is fond of music
and an excellent pianist herself, and
so is Princess Beatrice, who often makes
demands upon her mothers ladies for
companions in riding and in reading
duets. There are eight maids of honor.
There is one extra maid of honor,
Hon. Constance, III. Kerr. These ladies
belong to department of the household
of which the mistress of the robes is
the head. Her principal Office is to
look over and pass the queens per-
Bonal bills for dress, toilet, bric-a-brac,

on visit she presides at the royal
household table. This office is now held

In his Campaigning with Grant"
Gen. Horace Porter tells of Gen. Hal
leck's fear of trouble from the enforc-
ing of the draft, and his desire that
Grant should send troops to the north
ern cities. On the evening of August
II Gen. Grant was sitting in front of
his quarters, with several staff officers
about him, when the telegraph operator
came over from his tent and handed him
a dispatch. He opened it, and as he
proceeded with the reading his face be-
came suffused with smiles. After he
had finished it he broke into hearty
laugh. We were curious to know what
could produce so much merriment in
the general in the midst of the trying
circumstances which surrounded him.
He cast his eyes over this dispatch again.
and then remarked; 1.-The president
has more nerve than any of his adj
visers. This is what he says aft6rread-

all eager to hear the news, for we felt
that the telegram was of Importance.
The general began to read the dispatch
in very solemn tone. 1t was dated
ten p. m. the night before: II have
the honor to report that my army at

isn'ti it?" A melancholy chorus replied:
Its too bad, too bad!"
Now just wait till read you the
rest of it," added the general, with
perceptible twinkle in his eye. He
then went on, reading more rapidly:

BY this time the listeners had ral-
lied from their detection, and were be-
side themselves with delight. The gen.
eral seemed to enjoy the bombshell he
had thrown among the staff almost as
much as the news of Sheridan's signal
victory. In these after years, when this
victory is recorded among the most
brilliant battles of the war, and "Sher-
idan's Ride" has been made famous in
song and story, one cannot help re-
calling the modesty with which he spoke
of his headlong gallop to Join his COM
mand, and snatch victory from defeat.
He dismissed it with the sentence:
