ORIENTAL RUGS.

Chemical Washlnaa.

Chemical Washlnss.
The United States buys annually
many thousand dollars worth OF what
are known to the profession as wash.
ed rugs. Brightly colored oriental rugs
sometimes are washed with solution
OF chloride Of lime, a treatment which
partly bleaches the eolors and imparts
a soft appearance to the rug
This chemical treatment Is a process
Of washing which produces the effect
Of age aud peculiar sheen to the sur.
face, which is pointed out by the un-
scrupulous dealer as a proof OF supe-
rior quality. The fact Is that the proc
ess OF washing as described invariably
weakens and in some instances de-
stroys the materials Of the rug.
The progressive effect Of the chem.
leals on the materials In the rug Is
this: The chlorine gas contained In the
chloride OF lime attracts oxygen and
moisture from the air, by which muri.
attic acid Is formed. This eats away
the vltals Of the rug. Sooner or later
the wool and cotton in the rug become
brittle and thus weaken the warp and
deterlorate 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 foundation
Of the rug. becomes SO weak that holes
appear here and there, and soon the
rug is worthless.
It not seldom happens that a Persian
rug is too staring in some bright hue,
perhaps red. and is not salable. The
unscrupulous dealer win subject the
rug to series Of washings in chem.
lcally prepared water, In this way he
turns out rug possessing a soft an.
tique sheen that is truly captivating
and finds ready purchaser at an nd
vanced price.-Chicago Tribune.

The woods represented his own life.

sum and letter, or remain at Trenton

there.
There are millions OF people in
this country who have been keenly
alive to the smallest possible laches
on the part Of Theodore Roosevelt
for the past seven years; and there
are millions more, many millions
more, who have watched him closely
for transgression, blunder, and sign
of high sin. out Of very pride Of him,
and the fear, that in the avalnche Of
confusion and eounter-play in which
he has moiled and toiled increasingly
he might make bad break OF some
kind under the stress of honest rage
or insuIted dignity, but they have yet

grave blundering in any direction

stretch Of imagination. have worked

ing anything super-human for the
man. We are ranging him along with
the host whsrewith he has had to
work and contend, and he matches
them all. man for man, officer for
officer, clear down the line; he has
faults that even we viii admit; but
they are not grave, nor even serious,
and every blamed one Of them are
manly.
We do not know what the South
ern Senator viii seek to say or prove;
but it must be the genuine stuff, back
ed by unimpeachable testimony, and
free from the taint of Bourbon inspi-
ration, or Mr.. Tillman had best leave
1t all unsaid; because, whether the
President shall be in Washington, at
the South Carolinians very elbow, or
in the heart Of the African jungle, the
word that the American people have
learned to believe and trust, will
sound forth promptly and with such
emphasis and analysis as will leave
the country agape with astonishment
that they ever considered the snarling
boast Of the ratified law-giyer from
for an instant.
If the President does not, or can
not do this, when the time comes, we
will take our hat off to Ben Tillman
and keep it off, fguratively, until he
shall retire from public life upon his
greatest achievement, that of having |
proven Theodore Roosevelt blk
and scoundrel in the eyes of the
nation.

THE GAME is ON.

The Oregon Legislature had hardly
warmed its chairs before the ugly dec

cry. We knew it was coming, but

Ice might have died down before the

The MsdieaI Foe.

Or. Arthur @. Hetfenger, discussing
'SThe Medical Fee" In the North Amer.
lean Review, deplores the notion which
prevails In some quarters that the ply.
gician charges more for his services
than they are worth. He instances
some abnormally large fees which
have been paid to medical men and
shows that these were justified either
by the delicate nature Of the services
rendered or by unusual conditions at
tending them. He says:
1.-THE American Medical association,
our highest medical authority, has
never attempted to establish an ethical
fee. In point Of fact, the fee evolves
itself and ever has been and ever will
be a graded one, The great bulk Of
practice is practically charity-that 10,
1t represents small fees or no fees,
This is true alike In the remote coun.
try districts and in the great metropol.
itan centers. There Is one difference,
however, which should be distinctly
remembered, and that Is that rural
charity is generally deserved, whereas
urban charity is often misplaced. It is
stated that practically 33 per cent Of
the entire practice Of New York city
Is charity and that in a third Of such
cases the doctor is imposed upon"
