very best form of service you could possibly at,
tend, aud if you distinctly refused to come aod
select another chapel instead, why that 10 your

How TO PUT Down MATING AS the
summer is approaching, and the time OF mat
ting draws near, it may be well to call the at
tention of the housekeepers to the fact that. as
there is tight way Of doing everything. there
is decidedly right way to put down Canton
mating. Il is the almost universal practice
to put it down wrong. Most persons cut the
lengths, and then, laying the bresdths 10 their
proper places on the floor, proceed to drive
vast number of taoks up and down the edges.
This method serves the purpose Of keeping
the covering very tightly on the floor, but it
,Djures the bosrds and ruins the mating.
Every tack breaks one straw, and perhas more.
These Canton mattings are made on boats
where they are woven 10 short pieces about
tw, yards long. These short pieces are after
ward joined together on the shore in lengths
about forty yards. 1t is easy to see where
these two-yard pieces are joiued, and the first
thing to be donc, after the mating is cut 10
the proper lengths, is to sew these places across
and across on the wrong side to keep the joints
from opening. Theu sew the breadths togeth.
or, aud tack it to the floor in the same manner
that you treat carpet. Mattings made in this
way will last fully twice as long as " here they
are tackled 10 every breadth. A good mating
should last six or seven years.

FORREST AND EDMUND KEAN.

Not deeply read, F,rrest WAS widely stu

He had grea, powers of mimicry, and l can re-

manner OF Keau, whom 10 had supported as
Tago, Krau was bis ideal in acting He never

In fact, Forests praise or blame was always
clothed in exubcrant adj:ctives. ksan he be
Ieyed to be the greatest actor that ever lived.
When he played Iago to him his own presence

"You may break, you may shat!er, the vase If

His limitations Of kean and others whom he

His life Vas tinged with three or four hatreds
which never took shape in his speech without
the most cxtravagant denuncatlon. The jury
system, marriage, Charles O'Couor and
Macready we're the subjects which reused him.
An unfortunate marriage had ruiued his lite. A
jury bad defeated him in bis suit. Charles
O'CoDor conducted the case against him. Mac

slight paragraph showing lack OF appreciation
or dislike wounded him. Then came bursts Of
angry passion and libel suits. lu this often
fancy that Forrest resenbled Walter Savage

or Dickens character of Bnynton, in BLEAK
House." which is known to be based on Ian

boisterous talk upon these subjects was affected
or had become habit with him. He was too
frank mao to be osincere on any question,
and therefore, suppose that these expressions
were the Convictions of man who either strong
