RUGS USED IN ALL AGES
Ancient chroniclers Have Left Ac-
counts Of Various Remarkable :
Products. 81: the Loom. = =. -

In all ages rugs have been used for
religious purposes. Up to the present
time each member Of the Persian and
M0hammedan family carries a small
rug for prayer. The Mohammedan,
by means of a small compass, places
the rug where the niche points toward
Mecca, where the body Of M0hammed
lies. He then strips himself Of all
his Jewels, combs his beard carefully,
and then, with hands outstretched on
either side, he prostrates himself and.
with head on the earth, performs his
dev0tions.
In Egypt Cleopatra had looms set
up in her palaces for the weaving Of
beautifully designed tapestries. When
Cleopatra wished audience with Gaze
sar, she had a bale of rugs shipped
via Mediterranean. When this was
opened Before the Roman emperor, a
most superb rug was unrolled, and to
the establishment Of the court, the re-
nowned Egyptian queen rolled out
with it.
Virgil makes mention Of wonderful
rugs woven by women, rugs to be
spread under the thrones of kings and
under the knees of courtiers, and laid
upon the backs Of horses and in the
chartots Of conquerors and generals.

The Roman Sestertius,

Sestertius is the Latin name for a
Romdn coin meaning half of the third,
that is, two and halt, from "semi"
meaning half and "tertius" meaning
third.
When silver coinage was introduced
in Rome in 268 B. O., with the copper
as unit, the silver sestertius was
valued at 2h asses. The standard as
retained only one-fourth Of its original
weight. The sestertius was equiva-
lent to the original libral as; and, as
accounts had formerly been made in
terms of the libral as, they were now
made in terms Of the sestertti. After
the first Punic war, which ended 241
B. c., the sestertius ceased to be
coined. The weight of the as was many
