How to Use Old CaFIetg.

A lady writer in the N. E. Fdmer tells
how to utilize old ingram carpets after
they are worn out, Her suggestions are
exceedingly practical, and may be useful
to many Of our readers. The old Is made
to serve and save the new:
Many a pretty rug, to lay where the
most stepping will come, at the door, be-
side bed, sofa. or FIRE, and thus save the
wear Of good carpet, may be made from
the stronger portions Of the breadths OF
an old carpet, 1t should be lined either
with the same (which will be found u
gaeat convenience when the rug comes to
mending), or with old drilling, tow cloth,
or old tapestry carpet. Sew the edges
securely, and then bind the rug with
wooden cloth q two inch binding gives it
a pretty border. The binding should be
pressed fiat and smooth TO look nice.
Points Of wooden cloth two inches deep
also makes a pretty border two rows in
different Colors, one row overlapping the
other little, looks quite handsome, A
very strong and pretty border may be
made Of rows Of braided wooden. Pieces
that are not large enough for rugs can be
taken to cover boxes. A large box to hold
wood by the kitchen or sitting room fire,
or to be filled with coal when that's used,
are comfortable seats, and really orna.
mental when covered with carpeting. The
lid Of such q box should be cushioned by
placing upon It layer Of hay or straw
and then layer Of cotton batting, and
lacking tightly over this covering Of old
drilling or stout cloth, before the carpet
ing Is tackled uponit. Smaller boxes are
very convenient for holding the slippers
and rubbers OF the family, and serve also,
as Ottomans or small seats. Others OF the
same description, lined with old calico,
are nice reCeptaClCs for the sewing or the
mending Of the household. II neatly
cushioned and covered these are handsome
additions to the furniture Of room. A
shoe box Is very good size to cover for
holding wood. Soap, starch, and salt box
eS will serve as OttOmans; all the expense
will be Tor taCks and hinges, and for the
smaller boxes stout leather may take the
place Of hinges 10 hang the lid. Cheese
boxes or any small low box cushioned as
mentioned above, and covered with car.
peting, make pretty hassoCks or foot
stools. After the best OF the old carpet is
used in this manner, there will DO great
deal that can be cut into strips two inches
wide OF which very pretty mats may be
made. Strips not more than two or Il ee
inches long may be used in making these,
but II yard or more in length so much
the better.

How 10 Estimate the Profits Of n
EnrlM.

The farmer lives in his own house.
The use of tho house, which he does not
pay for, is as much part Of his income
as the money which a salariCd man pays
for rent Is Of his, and should be counted
~ such In un estimate OF the profits OF
the farm. All things produced on the
farm and consumed OH the farmers table,
including the vegetables from the gar
den, the eggs and milk used In cooking,
are as much part Of his income as the
money paid for such things out Of his
salary Ia Of tho salaried man. II the
farmer gives his wife and children a
pleasant ride 10 town, Using his own
horse and wagon, the value Of their use
Ia "a the money the other man pays out
Of his salary for carriage hire Of his,
The correct rule for estimating the in
come from farm Is substantially this :
Give credit for every article produced,
used or expended in any way whatever,
no matter how small In value, as we'll as
for the cash received for products sold,
and for increase In the value Of farm
property, and charge against the farm for
Interest on capital invested and for all
expenditures The farmer that will do
THIS from year to year will not so much
feel like complaining Of the Improbable
ness Of farming as compared with other
pursuits. The fact Is that not one in a
hundred farmers take into consideration
the luxury and comfort Of fresh eggs,
butter, milk, fruits, &C., that they would
have to pay high prices for II they lived
in towns, or do without thcm.-Ncw Eng

extracting the subtle flavor from every
delicious fruit and aromatic. In his
favoring extracts the characteristic
taste and freshness of the real
fruit is preserved and by his process so
highly concentrated that but small
quantity is required to impart their
peculiar flavor to any article in which
they may be used. Ladies that wish

flavoring extracts or baking powder
should purchase DR.. Prices, for we can

still securely tied. She also gave other

The War Of Wards.

That Dallas is to be city of twenty
five thousand inhabitants, within the
present decade, no one doubts who has
witnessed its wonderful growth in the
past three years, and the still more
wonderful improvement of the sur
rounding country. The question Of
the day is, which of the wards shall Sc
cure the greater part of the incoming
wealth and population. BY superior
strategy, or more concentrated effort,
the First ward has so far won all that
seemed worth winning from the other
wards. 1t Is now whispered that The
depot of the Dallas and Wichita rail-
road is likely to be In the First, instead
fthe Second ward also, a paper mill,
and other manufactures. SECOND,
Third and Fourth wards, report pro-
gress and prospects. Which of you
expect to rival ward one? If SO. how
much, and what on?
