How u Put Down Mating.

As the summer Is approaching, and
the time of mating draws near, it may
be well to call the attention of the house.
keepers to the fact that, as there is a
right way of doing everything, there
is decidedly right way to put down
Canton mating. 1t is the almost uni
versal practice to put it down wrong.
Most persons cut the lengths, and
then, laying the breadths in their
proper places on the floor, proceed
to drive vast number of tacks up
and down the edges. This method
serves the purpose Of keeping the COW
ering very tightly on the floor, but it
Injuries the boards and ruins the mat.
ting Every tack breaks one straw, and
perhaps more. These Canton mattings
are made on boats where they are woven
in short pieces about two yards long.
These short pieces are atterwsrd joined
together on the shore in lengths of about
forty wards. 1t is easy to see
where these two yard pieces are
Joined, and the first thing to
be done, after the mating is cut IN
the proper lengths, is to sew these places
across and across on the wrong side to
keep the joints from opening. Then
sew the breadths together, and tack 1t to
the floor in the same manner that you
treat a carpet. Mattings made in this
way will last fully twice as long as where
they are tackled in every breadth. y
good mating should lust six or seven
wears.

The bulk of some of the great news
papers OF the pDpdlOus and prosperous
cities of the Northern and Western State'
ha, come to be felt rs Il great lnconyeh-
fence. Such are their massive proper
ton that it is difficult to handle them.
Moreover when business man takes
them up merely to skim the news, he IS
appalled, bv the mass of reading matter
before him. There is so much penny-a-
lining in them that one has to

Of chatf to get at the grain. lie has to
read a column in order to Teach few
facts. The ambition OF the publishers
seems to be- to get out the largest sheets
possible, and with the most pcnny-a' lin
ing in them After all, one gets
quite rs much news and information
from such model newspapers MS
the Baltimore SIN. the Washington
STAR the PHILADELPHIA Ledger, and the
Philadelphia Times, and that in II halt
hours reading, rs he can CLEAN from
these massive and volumnous papers, to
which We have referred, after Il days IN

left for anything else. Life is too short
tor such task.
But thi, Is not all The question is al
ready beginning to be agitated us to what
will bc til" dimensions OF the newspaper
of the future 1t Is anticipated that flu

of advertisements andrews are such now
thai space for them cannot be found, and
the time it i, thought, is not distant when
new form of newspaper will have to be
adopted. The fact is, that if the same
minutcnes. of detail, and the same string
inc together of useless words are contin-
ued, the time will probably come when
papers like the Hcraid, Tijuc, Times,

The Brooklyn Edgle of Saturday says:
The coming week promises to be the most
interesting in the history of the great
trial. Mr. Evurts said yesterday morn
mo that counsel had reckonend on finish
ing Mr.. Beecher's direct testimony by
the hour of adjournment, but for the i'll
ness of Mr. Beach. According to this,
if the latter be we'll enough to attend on
Monday and it is said that his health Is
much improved by the rest OF yesterday,
Mr.. Beecher will fall into the hands Of
Judge Fullerton for croSs-cXamination on
Tuesday morning. This programme
may be intertered with however, by Il
long legal argument on Monday. 1t
appears that it only now remains for
Bcccher to testify in regard to the action
of Plymouth Church on "the West
charges and towards Tilton, and to ex-
plain away his own relation to that ac-
/ ton. To this it is believed that the coun-
sci for the plaintiff vii object, and the
, discussion which will necessa-
rilv follow between Messrs
Evarts and Beach, may throw the cross
examination of Mr.. Beecher over to Il
late day in the week.. When it does
come il will be battle of giants. Mr..
Bcrcher will fight for honor, church,
home. life-everything that is dear to
man on earth. William A. Fullerton is
nu his mettlc for the greatest task which
ever fell to lawyers hands. and he has
to win. some say to sustain the reputa-
ton OF the greatest legal surgeon in
America

The defeat of General Hawley for Con
gress in Connecticut may be regarded as
the obliteration of his name from the
catalogue of entries for the Republican

convincing proofs furnished by any OF
the recent elections Of the once powerful
organization which has so badly ruled
the country the past few years. Butler 5

ferred to his salary grab and general
personal viciousness of character. Har-

cause he was the representative ola party
which the people, upon consideration,
have determined TO Gust from power.

so-called religious emotions have no
