ABOUT RUGS.
Some Practical suggestions All the
WAY From Calcutta.

Some Practical Suggestions All the
Way From Calcutta.
The United States buys each year
many thousand dollars worth OF what
are known to the profession as
washed rugs" Brightly colored ORR
entail rugs are sometimes washed with
solution of chloride of lime, which
treatment partially bleaches the col
ors and imparts soft appearance to
the rug. This chemical treatment is
a process of washing" which pro-
duces the effect of age and peculiar
sheen to the surface, which is pointed
out by the INSCRIPTIONS seller as a
proof of superior quality. The fact Is
the process of washing as described
invariably weakens, and in some cases
destroys, the materials of the rug.
The progressive effect of the chemi.
Gals on the materials in the rug is as
follows: The chlorine gas contained
in the chloride of lime attracts oxy-
gen and moisture from the air, by
which muriatic acid is formed, which
eats away the vitals of the rug. Soon
er or, later the wool and cotton in the
rug become brittle and thus weaken
the warp and ldeteriorate the wool.
When this deterioration is complete
the pile of the rug may be swept away
by the ordinary process of sweeping,
and the warp, which is the founda-
ton of the rug, becomes so weak that
holes appear here and there and very
soon the rug is worthless.
The question arises as to how this
disastrous treatment of rugs can be
avoided and still give to the lover of
antique effect what he desires. Tho
only answer must be that the antique
effect shall be obtained by scientific
ally correct dyeing and correct tech
nical blending OF the colors in the
rug. BY this method the perfect an
tique effect can be produced and at
the same time thoroughly desirable
rug be had-one that will equal tho
old Persian rug in appearance an
possess all the strength and vitality
that rug can have.
II not infrequently happens thar a
Persian rug IS to staring-for in
stance. in red-and is not salable. The
INSCRIPTIONS dealer will subject the
rug to series of washiDgs in chemi-
cally prepared water. and in this way
turn out rug possessing a soft and
antique sheen that is truly captivat-
ing and finds ready purchaser at an
advanced price.
The existence Of the Oriental rug
manufacture depends on the American
market At one time London was the
rug market of the world. At the
present time comparatively few rugs
find an actual market in London
More fine rugs are taken by Germans,
who. by the way. manufacture the
tufted rug which. when we'll made. is

The United States has become the
largest rug market of the world. This
fact should make Americans earnest

Then, drawing steel blade from a
leather sheath, he added:
"Here is the instrument by which
the aforesaid ears were amputated"
The words evidently referred to

VERY SLIGHT DAMAGES.
Just after The Republican had gone

starting in the lantern room of the
Crystal theater, on Second street, did
a couple of hundred dollars damage,
burning up a set of films, and causing
the breaking of a plate glass window.
The fire is presumed to have

films and illustrated song slides. The
fire department, responded promptly
and the chemical engine was able to
control the fire, although the steamer
was ready for duty within a few min

the fire. Mr.. Converse's loss, which
was very small, is fully covered by in
