When she was a woman she mar

on a visit to her mother in her old

a brief illness. She was buried beside
Gov. Pickens, her casket being borne
to its last resting place by gray-haired

was hung there by the czarina the day

would not have acquired at any price.
The novice who wishes to buy his
own rugs in Persia or elsewhere i'll the
east must, in the first place, have time
enough at his disposal to spend half
day or more at the dealers bazar. 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, deliberately and politely,
and always without showing haste or
impatience. When buying a Persian
rug several precautions must be taken.
1t must be without thick places or
folds and the tying must be perfectly
even, for which purpose the back must
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. 1t is also quite important that
no particular preference be expressed,
otherwise the dealer will at once put
triple price on the coveted article.
Persons who make the buying of rugs
business frequently manage to se-
cure costly antiques among the noun
tain tribes of the Caucasus and the
steppe dwellers of Central Asia,

The chiefs of many of the nomadic
| Asiatic 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

in fact, part of their lives.
| So much about the genuine oriental
rug. And now word about the imita-
tions, 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 ii 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.

men exclusively, in horizontal looms.
In the Caucasus, Daghestan, To-

mitting that the Caucasian rugs retain
their original character to remark

the conservatism of the rough noun

The Turkoman rug occupies a front
rank, so far as material and workman
ship are concerned, but as regards
pattern and color development it GER
tainly is not entitled to recognition as
a first-class article. In a 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 it's ornamental
ton and woven so substantially that it
must be numbered among the very
| best varieties.
All through the oriental countries
magnificent rugs and carpets are OBJ

difficult task than might be supposed.
Leaving aside the fact that wide eXpe-
rience and considerable technical
knowledge are essential to recognize
ing and determining the value of rug,
oriental dealers have wonderful
knack of "befuddling" prospective
purchasers. By displaying, in rapid
succession, rug after rug, they make
a thorough examination almost inn
possible and when the deal is closed the
buyer usually has an article on his
hands which, in normal conditions, he

RUGS IN THE ORIENT
TO Secure Choice Specimens Is La

TrRdlng with OrientaIs Means Hard
Work and Loss of Much Time
The Most Precious Wenves
.L Described.
Especial constantlnOple letter.

ME present craze for oriental
rugs, which prevails not only in
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 Mediterranean
sea. There is no doubt that the in
dustry is more than thousand years
old and chat it has passed through va
rious stages of evolution. Originally
the rugs were primitive floor cover
ings for the tents of the nomadic
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 t
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
lime the Persian and Caucasian weav-
ers work along identical lines and only
experts can detect any material differ
ence in ther work From time
tmmemorial 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
tation.
The soul of oriental rugs is the
pattern. In it is concealed legend

THE SPIDERS WAY OUT.
Little Insect Showed So Much Intel
ligence That It's Captor Re-
stored 1t to Liberty.

A close observer never has to travel
away from home for entertainment
and instruction. One brighteyed young
person, who had grown tired of read
ing, tells in an English paper how he
found spider an interesting play
mate.
l took washbowl and fastened up
stick in it like vessels mast, and then
poured in water enough to turn the
mast into an island for my spider,
whom l named Crusoe, and put on the
mast. AS soon as he was fairly cast
away, he anXiously commenced rum
ming around to find the mainland. He'd
scamper down the mast to the water,
stick out foot, get it wet, shake it,
run round the stick and try the other
side, and then run back to the top
again.
Pretty soon it became a serious mat
ter to Mr.. Robinson, and he sat down to
think over it. AS in moment, he acted
as if he were going to shout for boat,
and as if he were afraid he was going
to be hungry, | put molasses on the
stick A fly came, but Crusoe wasn't
hungry for flies just then. He was
homesick for his web in the corner of
the woodshed. He went slowly down
the pole to the water and touched it all
round, shaking his feet like pussy when
she vets her stockings in the grass.
Suddenly thought seemed to strike
him. Up he went like rocket to the
top, and commenced playing circus. He
held one foot in the air, then another,
and turned round two or three times.
He became excited and nearly stood
on his head before found out what he
knew, and that was this: that the
draught of air made by the fire would
carry line ashore on which he could
escape from his desert island. He
pushed out a web that went floating in
the air until it caught on the table.
Then he hauled on the rope until it was
tight, struck it several times to see if
it were strong enough to hold him, and
walked ashore.
i thought he had earned his liberty,
so / put him back in the wood shed
again.

probable, however, that modern chem
istry could solve this mystery; yet
such a discovery would be of scant

real beauty of their work.
The Persian rug is the choicest of all

localities where they originated-Te-

HOMEMADE THEATER.
with This Boys and Girls Can Have
More Fun Than with Any other
Contrivnnce.

Lots and lots of our readers delight
in playing theater. Here is an op-
portunity to build one at no cost, as
everything needed can be found
around the house.
Take n large wooden soap box and,
after removing the cover, take a
crosscut saw and saw through the
bottom of the box about 91s inches
carefully and fit it inside of the box,
at right angles to the sawed front,
to form the floor of the stage. Cut
out the end which is now the top of
your toy theater, leaving but strip
along the front.
Take a strip of this removed piece
and tack it to the front of the box,
little bit below the level of the
stage.
The next thing is the curtain. Hunt
around until you find an old shade
roller, some twine and piece of red
or green cloth. Cut the roller the eX-
act width of the box. Then cut the
cloth so that half an inch of roller
will show on each side, tack one end
to the top of the box. Wind the
twine around the ends of the roller,
leading the twine from each end up
and over smooth tacks driven into
the top of the theater These lines
should be operated from one side and
serve to pull the curtain up and
down.
Now comes the making of the foot
lights and proscenium. Paste draw
ing paper on stiff cardboard and get
father or mother to follow the de-
sign in the drawing or carry out
their own ideas, using a soft pencil
for the outlines and filling in the
pattern with water colors or crayon

D0USCHKA PICKENS.
Little Daughter of the south Who
Fired the First Gun in the
Civil Wnr.

A little southern girl fired the first
shot of the civil war and afterward
grew into womanhood in South Caro-
lima.
Her name was Douschka Pickens.
She was the daughter of Col. Frank
Pickens, of South Carolina, and of
his wife, Lucy Holcombe, who was
considered in her girlhood to be the
most beautiful woman in her state.
by President Buchanan as minister to
Russia, and their first child was born
in May, 1858, at the imperial palace of
the Romanoffs.
When the baby was christened the
Russian court and the representa-
tives of different foreign nations at
tended the ceremony, The czarina was
godmother, and when the priestasked: {:
'What shallj be, the name of this
child?" she answered:
"Her name shall be Douschka."
Now "Douschlla" means in English
"my darling" and the godchild of the
czarina was Douschka Pickens and
nothing else throughout all the days
of her life. Just at the breaking out
of the civil war Minister Pickens was
elected governor of South Carolina,
and came back to America to enter
upon the duties of his new office, bring
ing his wife and Douschka with him.
In South Carolina the little child be-
came great favorite, as she had been
at the court of Russia, but she never
quite forgot those early days, and
neither did the Russian royal family
for so long as Douschka lived every
birthday brought her fresh tokens of
their remembrance and affection.
Just before the bombardment and
subsequent surrender of Fort Sumter
Gov Piclens visited the Charleston
forts and gunboats. in company with
Mrs. Pickens and Douschka, then q
golden-haired, blue-eyed tot of three
years After the inspection had been
made Gen. Beauregard took the little
girl in his arms, put a lighted match
between her tiny fingers and showed
her how to touch the fuse of cannon
And thus was fired the first shot of
the civil war.
During the long years of that great
struggle Douschka had bestowed upon
her by legislative enactment the title
of "The Child of South Carolina" and
both then and afterward she was the
idol of the people. Gov. Piclens died
in 1864, and when Douschka grew VI
it fell to her lot to manage the Pick
