How to Make a Rug.

A lady writes in the American Farm
Journal: AS the making Of floor mats
and rugs has become so fashionable
of late, / would like to tell my way of
making rug. In the first place cut
and sew my rags the same as l would
for rag carpet, each color by itself,
then with large hook l knit the dia-
mond about one third of a yard long
of each separate color, beginning with
one stitch, and making one every time
across until the center is reached; then
narrow one stitch every time across
until but one remains; draw the rag
firmly through this and it will need no
other fastening, knit two rows of black
around the entire outer edge of each
diamond, and then sew them together
by placing the points together. and
with a large needle and strong thread,
take up the outside stitch upon each
diamond every stitch that you sew
with the needle, to fill out the space
between the outside points of the dia.
mOnds; knit the same as you would
for half a diamond. Finish the whole
by knitting three rows of black around
the entire edge of the rug. Of course
each individual can use their own taste
in disposing of the different colors
through the rug.

A TRUE HERO.

Philadephia Ledger.
) An instance of remarkable self.con.
troll and presence of mind under sud.
den and intense suffering recently oc.
Cured in Belgium. Two workmen
were employed at Ville-sur.O Ourthe in
fastening Il lightning.conducter at the
top of 4 steeple 10 feet from the
ground. One man stood 1T work upon
the shoulders of the other, and a sud.
den gust of wind caused him to spill
some of the molten lead he was using.
1t fell upon the hand and arm of the
other, and he had the nerve to stand
still while the hot metal burned into
the flesh, Us the slightest movement
might have thrown the man on his
shoulders to the ground. The hero
who saved this life deserves to be re-
corded, and we print his name below,
that if there be any emigrant in Amer.
ica who recognizes it he may be proud
of his countryman. To face danger
deliberately for the safety of others is
high courage. But to do this while
suffering from intense pain, when
physical nature instinctivcly flinches,
shows degreee of fortitude as we'll as
courage which we'll deserves to be
called heroic. The name of this man
of nerve and courage is NJ. A. Karis.

A SPIDER EPIDEMIC.

Memphis (Tcnn.) Appeal.
Last Sunday, Mr.. Thomas Walsh,
Master Mechanic at the Louisville
Railroad shop at this point, was bitten
by a spider. The wound became in
famed, and last night Mr.. Walsh was
in q critical condition on account of
the poison injected into his system by
the venOmous insect. To-day he was
much better, and is out of danger.
This morning Mr.. j. D. Danbury, a
well-known citizen, was also bitten by
aspider, a and he had to summon medi.
cal aid, rs he was suffering intense
pain from the apparently slight wound.
1t is reported that he also is seriously
ill from the effects of the poison. On
Saturday last little daughter Of Capt.
S. s. Garret, while attending Templar's
picnic down the Mississippi & Tennes-
see e.Railroad, was bitten on the face
by black spider. Her face became
terribly swollen, but no dangerous ef-
fects became apparent. The spider
whose poison is so venOmOus, is a
small black one, which generally has
red specks on it's body. Its bite is ex-
ceedingly poisonous, and from it many
persons have died on account of not
attending to the wound in due time.
