Fire Test for Rugs.

The dusky rug salesman took red
hot coal from the CRATE, and, holding
it tight in the tongs, touched it to the
splendid Persian rug.
Obi" gasped the visitor, as the
costly rug sizzled and gave of little
smoke and an odor of burning.
But the salesman smiled. He threw
the coal back into the crate. He
pointed to the charred spot, as big as
a half dollar, on the rugs cream
colored ground.
Regard, madam" he said.
And with his hand he brushed the
brown entirely away. In moment
nothing of it was left The rug came
forth from its fiery ordeas the same as
before, only, in that one spot, the fab
ric was perhaps an eighth of an inch
thinner.
"A Persian rug that will not come
.unhurt from the fire test,' said the
salesman, lis not, madam, worth your
