Modern Inventions—Oriental
Rugs.
(By George Fitch).
Tin* oriental rug is not strict
ly a modern invention, but the
prices now obtained for them are.
The Oriental rug was original
ly woven by hand in some far otf
corner of the desert by a family,
and its descendants. If was wov
en out of camel's hair or silk in
fantastic Oriental designs which
the designer carried in bis head
and altered whenever he had a
lapse of memory.
The Oriental rug was the most
useful thing about (lie Oriental
family. Whenever a family set
up housekeeping it began by
weaving a rug. This took from
six months to ten years, accord
ing to the rug and the family
When the rug was finished it
was used for a carpel, a bed, a
saddle, a windbreak, a table, a
wall, a wheat bin and for many
other useful purposes. After an
oriental rug lias been mellowed
by several generations of stich
use, it becomes soft and beauti
ful and can be smelled for sev
eral rods on a damp, muggy day.
Some years ago people began
to import these rugs to America.
They are now very popular. If a
rug is treated kindly it will last
: forever, and in another century
the importance of an American
[family will he determined by the
[number of Oriental rugs its an
Iceslors have bequeathed to it.
oriental rugs are now scdd in
I such vast numbers that if all the
[Oriental rug weavers worked day
land night they would still be sev
jeral years behind orders. They
are also so valuable that a small
rug of good family and unblem
ished descent will often sell for
s*s 100 a square foot. Rich Amer
icans now collect Oriental rugs
instead of postage stamps and
enlarge their houses from year
to year to accommodate their col
lections.

two kinds, like money—real and
counterfeit. Many a man has
paid $.300 for a genuine Orien
tal brought from the desert by
camel and has found the first
time he' turned the hose on it
that it \yas woven in New Jersey
by an exile out of Georgia cotton
and that its colors would make
the Marathon running records
look sick.
