The Making of Oriental Rugs.
Origin of Their Weaving Lost in the Remoteness of
Antiquity.—Arabs Always Used Them.—Is Probable
That Abraham Sat Upon One.—As They Are Used
Now As An Adjunct to the Modern Furnishing of a
House.
The origin of the rug-weaving is lost in
remote antiquity. The Hindus, itis known,
were versed in the art of weaving as early
as 1,500 years before the Christian era. It
is probable that Abraham, when resting in
the cool summer evenings at the door of
his tent sat on an Oriental rug or carpet.
The Arabs of the desert, who are said to he
his descendants through Ishmael, do exact-
ly the same thing at the present day. And
it is the proud boast of these fierce eastern
warriors that their manners and customs
have remained unchanged since the time of
their great ancestor.
The various Oriental nations have been
from the earliest ages, and they are now
the great rug-makers of the world. The
eastern rug-weaver, whether Turk or Per-
sian or East Indian, doesnot look upon the
rug he weaves as merely an article of mer-
chandise. As its beautiful color combina-
tions, patterns, and designs are brought
into existence by his skilled fingers and
artistic brain he rejoices as an artist rather
than as an artisan. Itis the same as re-
gards the other articles of merchandise
which the Orientals produce—whether it
is a vase, or a piece of bronze, or silver-
ware, or porcelain, or carving, or what not.
Probably the most fascinating thing about
an Oriental rug is its artistic beauty. The
Oriental rug weaver has acquired his skill
as a weaver, and his artistic taste from a
long line of ancestors who were engaged in
weaving the same kind of rugs in the same
way for perhaps hundreds of years. His
skill, therefore, is inherited, as well as ac-
quired.
It isa custom to start working at. this
weaving at a very tender age, and most of
it is done in Turkey and Persia by girls
and women. It is not uncommon in these
countries to see whole families from the
youngest to the oldest, engaged in weaving
the same rag. It can easily he seen, then,
that patterns and designs which have been
worked over and over again through innu-
merable generations reach a perfection that
cannot be equaled by any other method.
In Persia it is the custom for each family
of rug weavers to have its own special de-
sign, which, as a rule, is worked intosmall
sized rugs only. The designs of the larger-
sized rugs are generally the property of the
village or district in which the rugs are
woven; thus Sereband rugs have a design
of their own; Khorassan rugs have ‘their
own design, and so on.
Oriental rug weavers have in an unex-
ampled degree the faculty of combining
various colorings. They can take any of
the primary colors and produce from them
the most wonderfully artistic combinations
and effects. But, after all, Old Father
“Time is the best rug artist among the Ori-
-entals, as elsewhere. After a lapse of many
years the colors, which, perhaps, when the
rug was first made were somewhat crude,
take upon themselves an extraordinary
richness and mellowness of tone which can-
not be imitated.
The Orientals have also the habit of
washing their rugs at least once a year.
This is done by placing them over a rope
in a running stream, where they are left
about 24 hours. The rugs are then exposed
to the sun to be dried. This has the effect
of helping to soften and mellow the colors
and giving them that indescribable gloss
and polish whieh most antique Oriental
rugs possess.
Oriental rugs are made to last. With
proper care they are practically indestruct-
ible. Of course our mode of using rugs is
different from the Eastern custom. In the
East a rug is never trodden on with shoes.
In coming into a temple, mosque or private
house the people remove their shoes. Be-
sides this, no article of furniture is ever
placed on arug. But even with hard usage
an Oriental rug will last from 10 to 100
years. As just stated, when properly
taken care of, there is no limit to its dura-
bility.
A friend of the writer of this article has
seen rugs in use in the Eastern mosques
which have a well-authenticated pedigree,
dating from the fifteenth century. Healso
knows of a small prayer rug in a mosque
in Pergamos, in Asia Minor, which actually
was on the floor of the mosque for over 300
years, and its present condition is perfect.
It has a turquois blue center with a mag-
nificent cream border in Arabesque design.
The size is only about four by six feet, yet
$400 has been offered and refused for it.
This particular rug has been stolen three
times from the mosque, and three times it
has been recaptured by the mosque author-
ities before it got ont of the country.
An important point in favor of the use of
Oriental rugs is their greater healthfulness
as compared with ordinary carpeting. This
arises from the fact that they are much
more easily kept clean. It is now quite
the custom in this country to have polished
hardwoo! floors, covered with Oriental
rugs. The rugs can easily be taken up,
frequently and thoroughly cleaned, thus
preventing the accumulation of disease
germs. In the case of houses not furnished
with hardwood floors, it is the fashion here,
as it is in the East, to cover the floors with
Japanese or Chinese mattings, with rugs
placed over them.
A very curious and interesting Eastern
rug is the one known as Dandoor, errone-
ously called, in this country, Trinaclia. A
very beautiful specimen of this rug, shown.
to the writer has the customary four divis-
ions—one for the host and his family to sit
on, and one each on either side for the
guests, while the center division is for the
serving of refreshments. This is acustom
that prevails in Persia and all through the
Caucasus.
In the East Oriental rugs are very exten-
sively used as wall hangings, portieres and
couch covers. They are also used for these
purposes in this country.
A plentiful use of Oriental rugs in houses
give them a charmingly artistic appearance,
which contrasts delightfully with the use-
ful furnishings of a modern household.
The mode of rug weaving as practiced in
the Orient is as follows : The loom consists
of two horizontal bars of common wood,
set on two uprights. Both of these bars
are movable. The whole contrivance is
exceedingly simple and primitive. The
construction of the loom probably has not
changed in any particular from time im-
memorial.
The loom is usually from six to eight
feet high, and from six to twenty feet wide.
The number of weavers is regulated accord-
ing to the width of the rug. A space of
two or three feet is usually allotted to each
weaver. The first operation consists in
winding a large number of woolen strands
around the top horizontal bar of the loom.
The length of these strands is governed by
the size of the rug. The bottom ends of
the strands are fastened to the lower part
or roller of the loom. At this stage of the
operation the woolen strands have some-
what the appearance of the strings of a
harp, and the closeness of the strands de-
pends on the quality of the rug to be woven.
For example, a common rug which will
have six to seven strands to an inch, will
require for a rug nine feet wide 756 strands,
and if there are 14 strands to the inch it
will bave twice that number.
In order to keep the strands tightly
rolled, a wooden peg is used to roll the top
horizontal bar around. As soon as these
strands are put in order, and the frame
tightened up, the.operation of weaving the
rug begins. First the balls of colored wool
are hung on the horizontal bar near the
top of the loom, and the deft fingers of the
weavers commence their work. As the
operation progresses the finished part of the
rug is wound up from the hottoni.
Some of the patterns are copied from de-
signs given the weavers by Eurcpean and
American rug importers. In that case they
have the design before them, and copy
from it as they goon. But if more than
one rug is woven of the same pattern the
design is discarded, as by the time that one
rug is woven the weavers have the pattern
well fixed in their minds and work from
memory, Very often the designs are en-
tirely of their own conception, and in that
case the weavers do not work from designs,
but from their own ideas as the work pro-
gresses.
It is very interesting to stand by and
watch one of these rugs being woven. The
balls of wool are deftly unwound, and as
the work goes on the design develops itself,
and a beautiful one it generally is. After
the rug is finished it is cut down from the
loom, and should there be any tufts of
wool left on the surface, it is sheared and
swept.
Probably the most difficult part of rug
weaving is to properly tie the knots. These
knots are made by passing the wool Le-
tween two of the strands, putting one over
and one under, the knot being tied tightly,
and cut with a sharp knife. This leaves a
small end of the wool hanging, and this, as
already stated, is sheared off line by line,
the width of the rug. This is done, how-
ever, after it is combed down tight and put
into its proper place.
The dyes used by Oriental rug weavers
are mostly vegetable. Some few are ani-
mal dyes, such as cochineal. Minerval dyes
are seldom if ever used.
A great part of the heauty of Eastern
rugs is due to the skill of the Orientals in
producing these dyes, the secret of the
manufacture of many of them being known
only to certain tribes. These secrets are
handed down from father to son, and are
jealously guarded.
The selection of the wool is also a matter
of great care. Many of the wandering
tribes of the interior of Asia are exclusive
owners of flocks of sheep whose wool is pe-
culiarly adapted for rug weaving. The fine
quality of the wool is due to climatic con-
ditions, and also to the pasturage. The
experiment has been tried of acclimating
these sheep in other countries, but without
success. It is even found that in different
districts of the same countries of Asia there
is a difference in the quality of the wool.
This is owing to a differance in the pastur-
age and water. For example, the wool
grown in the Vilayet of Broussa, where the
celebrated Ushak rugs are produced, is
finer than the wool of the Vilayet of Houna-
vendikiar, which produces the Ghoirde
rugs. This is the reason for the difference
in the quality of these two weaves of rug.
The principal countries of production of
Oriental rugs are Turkey, Persia and India.
In Turkey, as well as in Persia, they are
mostly made by nomad tribes, none being
made in factories as is the custom in Euro-
pean and American countries. Each rugis
generally the product of a whole family’s
work, the dyeing, shearing and cleaning
usually being dene by the grown-up male
members of the family. The weaving
proper, as already stated, is done by the
women and children.
Each country turns out different kinds
of rugs. For instance, rugs made in Tur-
key are generally known as Ghiordes,
Ushaks, Demirdjiks, Koniahs, Ak Hissars,
etc. Rugs made in Persia are known as
Savalans. Ferehans, Tabreezs, Isaphans,
Teherans, etc. Rugs made in India are
Candahars, Amritsurs, Agras, Cashmeres,
Delhis, etc.
In these three Eastern countries the seat
of the rug industry is usually in the moun-
tain districts. In the Caucasus district,
which is now a part of Asiatic Russia, they
make the following: Shirvan, Daghestan,
Soumac, Carabagh, Kazak and Guenjec
rugs. In the Transcaspian district, which
is also in Asiatic Russia, the rugs woven
are Afghans, Khivas, Bokharas, Samark-
ands, Herats, etc.
Constantinople is the central market for
Oriental rug buying. Some of the Ameri-
can houses, however, send their buyers as
far as the interior of the Caucusus and to
Persia, where the buyer encounters many
hardships and perils, and where it is the
hardest work to buy rugs. :
Originally the rugs are purchased from
the weavers by wandering buyers, who get
one here and another there, and so on.
When one of these small dealers has ac-
cumulated 10, 12 or 15 rugs he brings them
to the chief village of the district and sells
them to an agent there, who in his turn
sells them to the big rug dealers in Tiflis
or one of the other large cities in that part
of the country. From there the rugs usual-
ly find their way to the great rug bazaars
in Constantinople, whence they are dis-
tributed to all parts of the world.
The operation of buying Oriental rugs is
‘very tedious, as well as interesting. It
generally takes from three to four days to
finish a bargain. After many cups of coffee
and tea and cigarettes are consumed and
many a quarrel between seller, buyer and
broker, finally the bargain is concluded,
| when all parties concerned shake hands as
a finality. It is the custom for the buyer
to immediately remove his rugs after pur-
chasing them, for fear of stealing or substi-
tution being practiced. To the Oriental
mind the Occidental custom of having one
price for a thing and sticking to it is in-
comprehensible. It is usually the custom
for the seller to ask from five to ten times
as much as he is willing to sell the goods
for. The buyer, knowing this peculiarity,
offers for the goods much less than he is
willing to finally pay. It is through this
game of give-and-take that the price is act~
ually agreed upon, after a great deal of
dickering.
The rugs are always sold in bale lots,
and a bale usually consists of from 10 to
70 rugs, according to the size and quality
of the rugs. In one of these bale lots there
may be a number of very valuable rugs, as
well as a number of rugs of comparatively
poor quality. A selection is never allowed;
the buyer must take all the bale or none.

Sulphur from Louisiana.
Only Place in this Country Where the Supply is
Plentiful.
There is now only one place where sul-
phar can be got in the United States in any
quantity, that being in Calcasieu Parish,
says the New Orleans Picayune. Late last
week instructions were sent to the owners of
these mines that every onnce of sulphur tak-
en out should he reserved for the use of the
government. The owners will at once put
extra forces at work upon the mines, and
additional machinery has been ordered.
The government, from . what is learned, is
depending entirely upon these mines for
its supply, and with its millions of money
to back its demand, there is no doubt but
that the mineral will now be taken out in
large quantities.

A SCHOOL GIRL’S NERVES.
This Record is of Especial Value to Parents.

I's a Message froma Loving
Mother Dedicated to the Mother's of Growing Girls. A Truthful
Narrative of the Utmost Interest and Importance.
It is important that the nerves are carefully
guarded. Mothers who have young daughters of
school age should watch their health more care- |
fully than their studies.
The proper development of their bedies is of
first importance.
After the confinement of the school room, plenty
of out-door exercise should be taken. It is hetter
that children never learn their a, b, ¢’s, than that
by over-study they lose their health.
All this is self-evident. Everyone admits it—
everyone knows it, but everyone does not know
how to build the health up when once broken
down, even the best physicians failing at times.
The following method of Mrs. Stephen Barnes,
whose post office address is Burney, Ind.,if right-
ly applied, may save your daughter.
When her daughter Lucy was at that critical
girlhood age of twelve years she grew weak and
nervous.
“Previously she had been a bright, healthy
young girl,” says Mrs, Barnes, ‘She was diligent
and progressive in her studies.
“It became necessary, however, for her to leave
school.
“She was overtaxed mentally and physically.
“Her nerves were at such a tension that the
least noise irritated her.
“She had continual twitching in the arms and
lower limbs and symptoms of St. Vitus’ dance.
“Her blood was out of order she was thin and
pale, almost lifeless. In three months she lost
twenty-three ponuds.
I “We did everything possible for her, and she
| had the best of medical treatment.
“Several skilled physicians attended her, but no
benefit was apparent.
“A family friend visiting us, told how her
daughter had been similarly affected, but cured
by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People.
“She urged us to try tke pills, and we finally
consented.
“We have always rejoiced that we did.
“The pills helped Lucy at once, and after tak-
ing eight boxes she was entirely cured.
i “She is now in perfect health, strong, weighs
: ten pounds more than ever before, and her cheeks
are full of color.
“Two years of schooling were missed on fe-
count of ill health, but now she can gratify her
ambition to study and become an educated wo
man.”
The reason that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for
Pale People were helped in the above case, is that
they are composed of vegetable remedies which
act directly on the impure blood, the foundation
of disease.
. As the blood rushes through all parts of the
body, the conveyer of good or bad health, it is
necessary that it should be pure, rich and red.
Dr. Williams® Pink Pills build up the blood by
supplying its life giving elements which nourishes
the various organs, stimulating them to activity
inthe performance of their functions and thus
drives disease from the system.
The pills are in universal demand and sold by
all druggists.
