MUSEUM GETS RARE RUGS
Once Used to Wrap Around Pillars IN
tho Orient, They Arc Now
In Philadelphia.

Six Mongol pillar rugs, recently pur-
chased by the Pennsylvania museum,
have been hung in the Memorial hall,
Fairmount park, in the north corridor;
one pair at the entrance to the Will
stach gallery, one pair at the entrance
to the Silver room and the third pair
ut the entrance Of the section devoted
to musical Instruments. These rugs
were once bound about the wooden
pillars Of Mong0l lamaseries or
temples, and In several of the mu-
which bound them are still there. Pos
sibly textile decoration for pillars fol-
lowed carving, which would account
Tor persistence Of design, as these rugs
could have been intended for no other
purpose. In one pair. at least, the de-
sign becomes meaningless when spread
fiat, for the dragons which coil about
the pillar appear cut off In three sep
arate pieces, which meet exactly when
the edges are Joined.
The Chinese Huen Tsang, travelling
to India In the first half Of the
Seventh century, says that the paw
lions Of the monastery Of Nelanda
were upb0rnc by pillars ornamented
with dragons. The burial chambers Of
the kings, with their antechnmbers,
have been uncovered from the mounds
Of earth which were heaped about
them. and on the stone walls are frcscO
paintings. The doorway from the outer
to the inner chamber of one Of these
royal tOmbs Is flanked on either side
by an OctagOnnl column on which are
painted coiled dragons, no doubt I'm
reminiscence Of earlier carved up
rights. The next step, for particularly
nomad people, was to render tho same
design for similar purpose in textile
fabric to be dashed to the post.-PhIla-

he said that the United States was
setting a wretched example for ma

economic situation, Senator Hitch
cock said, threatened the mainte-

worlds population, with consequent
damage to the business Of the United
States.
"On account Of cotton and cop

selfishness to adopt some plan Of CO.
operations with the nations Of the
world" he said. 81 should have liked
to have seen tho United States, under
the leadership of Woodrow Wilson,
enter the League Of Nations. It was
not to be. Like Moses of old, Wood
row Wilson made mistakes which
cost him success and cost him his
leadership.

Then spake Shahrazad:
"Alas and aack, lord of ten thousand
spears, that Wilt ibn Hearst, the Sheik ul
Islam, dwelleth not in this thy empire! If so
it were, the weariness of excessive peace would
trouble not thy mind. Ay, by the beard Of
the Prophet, were Wilt to deal with this thy

land, the great Ahkoond would never cease
from Swatting.
"For know, oh, Sultan of Islam, that once
the land of Will ibn Hearst, having fought
nightly in many great conflicts, grew weary
of war so that the people cried out against it
and the suffering and the taxes occasioned
thereby, till at length the lords of that country
summoned the leaders of other nations to
meet in council to prevent recurrence of
battle.
"Now from the record of Will ibn Hearst,
the Sheik ul Islam, during the conflict that
was passed. none would have dreamed that he
too did not desire peace. Yet, oh, master of
my life, none knoweth the mind of Will ibn
Hearst, unless, possibly, Wilt himself.

"Yet, even as they spake, Will ibn Hearst
lifted his voice and cried aloud:
Beware the blood-dabbed emissaries of the
Britons, lest they serve ye even as they have
served Ireland. Also shun the wiles of the

thing in silk, the red and yellow flag Of the
Dons. In jiffy the four who had come blithe-
ly to the enemy of Spain under the banner of
CASTLE just about knocked the feet from under
Captain Glass and all others there present by
making it plain that, like us, they really did
not know for the lives Of them what all the
shooting was for. They didn't know that
America and Spain were at war They didn't
know that their fort had been bombarded. For
the captain that decidedly was much too much.
The quartet that had come out in the boat
comprised one Gutierrez, captain of the port;
the ports quarantine officer, a priest and
soldier who spoke not ''mucho" English, but
who nevertheless served we'll enough as an in
terprieter. An unfortunate remark passed by
Captain Gutierrez as Americans and Span
iards were readjusting their mental attitudes
gave rise to the fantastic tales that later were
told about the capture of Guam. Gutierrez
quoted by the interpreter, said that "it was
to laugh very much at the bombardment, for
did it happen that the fort had been obliged
to offer a salute not that much could be done,
because not on all the island was there any
powder whatsoever"
1t quickly seeped back to the States-this
Guam story-and when it did what was there
to keep Americans from seeing the funny side
