How 10 Choose IA Carpet.

Nonsense ~ exclaiines Mrs. alright,
as she reads this heading 'just as if
every housekeeper did not know how to
choose a carpet Let her tell us how to
procure the money to buy one, and Wen
thank her for the information ~
All my friend, perhaps you do know
Just how to select pretty, durable and
excellent carpet, but does it follow that
Mrs. Furry, your next-door neighbor,
understands the secret And then it is
all easy matter to select carpet, if you
can replace it next year with another,
should your selection prove unsatisfac-
tory but, if you must exercise economy,
as well as discretion and taste, then
comes ''the tug of war"
French Moquette and English brussels
are the best carpets to wear, and will
give the greatest satisfaction, Aubusson,
Administer and Turkey are equally good f,
but their price is of course high.
Tapestry brussels is not as desirable as
good three ply or an ingram, because
when the gay figures wear off there is
nothing left but hemp, which is far worse
than an all wool ingram of good quality.
A poor. 'slimpsy" carpet is not worth the
making and putting down, except in

Several years ago, in East Tennessee,
near the present site of Rugby, two
intimate friends, Quill and Dent,
quarrelled, and Dent stabbed Quill to
death. Before dying, Quill made an old
negro servant, who had formerly been a
slave, promise to avenge him, but in a
fair fight with knife. Dent lied to
Texas, but returned, and was found by
the colored man, who told him his
purpose. Dent met him near the grave
of Quill, and the duel resulted in the
death of both.
