CARPETS Go1NG OUT OF FASHION,
The Palmer Journal says Poor poo.
plc who would like to have their par
lors and sitting rooms appear as re-
spectacle as those of their wealthy
neighbors, will be glad to learn that
carpets are fast going out Of fashion.
IL their stead, tiles, floors of oak, in
laid floors, and floors painted, are be-
Ing adopted. Carpets have long been
kclt in use by the advantages they
possess Of lrescnting a snowy floor,
conccaling bad carpentry and savinga
deal Of hard scrubbing. America and
England are the only two countries in
which carpets are in general use; they
conceal large quantities of dirt, and
arc said by eminent medical writer's to
rcndcr rooms unwholcsomc. Floors
made of tiles are said to be more beau.
tiful than carpets can be. These tiles
are nothing more than narrow strips Of
burnt clay, polished and stained any
color they may be desired. They are
not hard to tread, nor are they expen-
siyc; they are easily kept clean and
arc as durable as marble. More than
three hundred churches, and at least
four hundred mansions of the nobility
in Great Britain, are paved with tiles.
Hospitals, banks, railway stations and
public houses, are adopting them in
stead Of wood floors and carpets. The
new palace for the Queen at Westmin-
ister, and the palace of the Sultan at
Constan:inollc, are also laid with tiles.
The style and invention originated in
England; many tons of this new arti-
Gle have already been shipped to the
United States.
Several churches in Philadelphia
and New York, the State Library at
Albany, besides several private dwell
lings, have been paved with tiles. The
Prescott House in New York. is the
first hotel to adopt this style of floor
ing, and the rooms arc said to present
beautiful and rich appearance. Car
pctlngs arc to be done away with, and
in their place We may expect to find
clean and beautiful floors, renewed
health of their occupants, and an i'm
mense saving in lumber and labor.
