HE present craze fur oriental
rugs, which prevails not .onlyin
the United States, but also
throughout Western Europe, suggests
an inquiry into the antiquity of rug
and carpet weaving in the Asiatic
countries east of the Medit
sea. There is no doubt that the in
dustry is more than a THOUSAND. ears
old and that it has passed through va
rious stages Of evolution. Originally
the rugs were primitive floor cover
ings for the tents of the mona die
tribes which inhabited central Asia,
but in the course of time they devel-
opened into genuine works of art, and
as long ago as the seventh century
some are reported to have been sold at
fabulous prices.
The oriental rug industry is divided
into five general groups-the Persian,
Central Asiatic, Caucasian, Indian and
Western Asiatic; but at the present
time the Persian and Caucasian veav-
ers work along identical lines and only
experts can detect any material differ
ence in Their work. From time
immemorial two processes of manu-
facture have been in vogue, the weav-
ing and the knotting methods; but in
each instance none but hand work is
employed, and this is usually per:
formed by women. The knotting or
tying process has been introduced
with some success in several European
and American factories, but thus far
nothing like the original has been pro-
duced by occidental cleverness in imi-
tatien.
The soul of oriental rugs is the
pattern. In it is concealed a legend,

quently happens that Persian or Tur-

The oriental woman bleaches the

of alkaline lye. With the exception of
sulphuric acid, used for producing a
deep black, only vegetable dyes are
used. During the past decade the use
of aniline dyes has made some head
way, but only when the demand for
rugs has been so great that no time
could be lost in filling orders. The dye
ing process of the various tribes is d

While the general opinion of those
supposed to be authorities on this

drinking water at meals is a deleteri.

to recent investigations, that a little

presidential nomination will be worth
sAEiving for next year. Senator Cor
nan, Of Maryland, who is close to
the national capital; Mr.. Hearst,
Judge Parker and Mr.. Hill, ell of New
Fork; Mr.. Olney, Of Massachusetts,;
Ar~ Cleveland, of New Jersey, and

ahszn standing right in the line where

Nav you would like to know how
this narrowing is done. 1t is great
game, and is very well understood in
ahls center of politics as we'll as o:
AHheeraft. The stimulus for all poll
eieians is the federal patronage. Every
MpkHieial worker wants an office.
There is blue book published by
she national government every two
years, and it contains lists of all of
the federal offce-holders, even down
to the lowliest and lowest-paid. The
Zig politicians employ little poll
Ss1sns to take up certain parts OF

the former ofdce-holders. !, For ex-
sample, suppose that Mr.. Olney, of
Aassac husetts, wants to get the dele

would not have acquired at any price.
The. novice who wishes to buy his
own rugs in Persia or elsewhere in the
east must, in the first place, have time
enough at his disposal to spend half a
day OF more at the dealers bazaar. He
must, in the second place, appear in
different and phlegmatic, sip his tea
and smoke his pipe, only occasionally
requesting that this or that piece,
which may happen to strike his fancy,
be laid aside. After a prolonged rest
the choicest of the pick should be bar
gained for, deliberat ely and politely
and always without showing haste or
Impotence. When buying a Persia n
rug several precautions must be taken.
It must be without thick places or
folds and the tying must be perfectly
even, for which purpose the back mus
be examined. The corners must fitthe
pattern; otherwise the rug loses 80
per cent. in value. At no time must
more than one-third of the dealers
price be offered by the purchaser, and
one-half of the dealers price should
be the maximum amount paid for the
article. It is also quite important tina
no particular preference be expressed,
otherwise the dealer will at once put
a triple price on the coveted article.
Persons who make the buying of rugs
business frequently manage to Sc
cure costly antiques among the noun
tain tribes of the Caucasus and the
steppe dwellers of Central Asia,
which: after thorough cleansing, are
sold at an advance of so times their
first purchase price.
The chiefs of many of the nomadic
Aslatic tribes possess vast fortunes in
the shape of rugs, some of which are
hundreds of years old. For many of
the natives of Central Asia the rug is
an indispensable companion. They
need it in their homes, their tents and
their travels. It serves them as bed,
travelling bag and prayer mat-forms,
in fact, a part of their lives.
So much about the genuine oriental
rug. And now word about the imita-
tons, many of which exceed the real
thing in regularity of design and bril-.
liancy of color-for a time. The boz
gus rugs are made in Europe, in some
of the eastern states of the union, but
most of them come in bales from Con
stantinople and Smyrna. The fraud
ulent article is sold in many shops in
the United States and as it is without
any real value it yields an enormous
profit to dishonest dealers. For this
reason one word of advice: If you
buy an oriental. rug, buy it from a
house in whose reliability you have
reason to have the utmost confidence.

The Turkoman rug occupies front
rank, so far as material and workman
ship are concerned, but as regards
pattern and color development it GER
ta1nly is not entitled to recognition as
first-class article. In general way
all the rugs made in the Asiatic high
lands are known as "Bokharas," but
experts know how to differentiate be-
tween the Various weaves. At the
head of the Bokharas stands the rug
made by the Teke-Turkomans, which
is peculiarly strong in its ornamental
ton and woven so substantially thatit
must be numbered among the very
best varieties.
All through the oriental countries

Leaving aside the fact that wide expe-

committeeman from Georgia, at Sena-

at the Arlington hotel Saturday night,
continues to arouse intense criticism.
The fact that he was former Demo-

other southern members Of the COM
mittee who attended and who have
never made any secret of their love for
the negro. In striking contrast is the
comment here upon the conduct OF
Judge Robinson, the North Carolina

to attend the banquet when he learned
that a negro was to be present Judge
Robinsons declaration that he came to

no ground for criticism.
