This rug, which was designed and furnished by Messrs. W. and J, Sloane of New" York, 'is a hand-tufted Berlin, 59 feet 8 Inches by 87 feet Inches, and weighs 1,750 pounds. The rug Is the largest and handsomest carpet woven In one piece which has ever ' been brought to this country, and it ts so 'heavy that It took men to carry It into the Chamber of Commerce Building. It was hand-woven in Germany, and Its enormous size precluded its being snip ed in the hold of the steamsblp which brought It to- this country, and it was. therefore, placed on the deck, packed In Kpeclally-made (Inc-llned cuse. The total weight of the package was more than three tons. When the work of weaving this rug was progressing it was necessary to strengthen the looms' several times, aa thn heavy beams nearly broke under the wefghi and tension of theTBg; but the main difficulty arose when the workmen had to take the rug irom th loom to finish and shear if, arid It Was finally nec essary to take a portion of tbo outeide wall Of the building away in order to re-more-the rtigr -as the -other openings proved too narrow. A noteworthy feature of this rug is Its' great depth of pile and eautiful even texture. Pea Blowers' Banishment. (Washington Star.)
