QUEENS COUNTY.
1t is interesting to learn that Done
gal is not to be allowed to have
monopoly of the Irish carpet weaving
industry. A small factory for the
manufacture of these beautiful east
ern looking floor coverings has recent

rugs are much cheaper than the Tur-
key carpets they so closely resemble,
and are apparently quite as "well

sale in London and on the Continent,

larged so as to give employment to
some hundreds of additional workers,
