TIE MERIT OF RUGS

The large pieces of furniture shat in all
rooms stand against the wall--the sofas,
the pianofortes, the side-boards, the book
cases, the bedsteads, the wardrobes, the
washstands, the bureaus-do not need any
carpet under them the carpet thst ia put
under them stands for so much wasted
money, and yet we go on putting down
yards Of carpet where it is never seen,
where the dust collects and is only attacked
IN weekly sweepings, and where it keeps =
sort of color, while the rest changes color
and fades. Let any one give a rug fair
trial. and observe for himself how much
less dust will be made in the room, how
much more easily the room is kept clean,
and how much more manageable the fnrni-
ture is when the weekly sweeping or the
daily dusting has to be got through. In
no case should any of the large pieces of
furniture rest upon the rug fer it ought
TO be an everyday or ct least an any-day
matter to turn it up and brush underneath
it, or roll it up and carry it out to be
shaken or swept.
It is advisable to buy good rug, large
enough TO cover all the foor you wish TO
cover, even if it strain your purse little 5

last a second lifetime. The best Turkey,
Persian and Indian rugs are made by hand,
of pure wool, and are so thick that if a
hot coal fall on one of them, the charred
portion, which, in the case of Brussels
carpet, could never be efaced, will disap-
pear in few days wear. After much
using good Eastern rug, walking on the
best Brussels carpet feels like walking on
the wooden floor. To an artistic eye, an
Eastern rug that is handsome to begin with
grows handsomer with time and use, and
even one that was a little staring and pre-
tentious at first, gets toned down and sub
dued by being long walked over, Just as If
it were human being. The gain of en-
ploying good rugs is so considerable in
health and cleanliness alone, that the time
must come when they will be "your only
wear"

Hessy Helfmann and Her Child.

ST. PETERSBURG, July 22d-Hessy Helf-
mauns sentence has been commuted to
Siberia for life. The child of which she was
delivered is not dead, as reported. The
Copenhagen Journal Dagsarioen reports that
a rich old bachelor of that town, who lived
many years in Russia when young, has " rit-
ten to st. Petersburg fer the purpose of tax
ing the necessary steps towards adopting the
child, but the mother refuses to part with it.
1t is probable, however, that she will sur
render it to relatives. The police regulations
forbid prisoners from taking their children
into exile.

ELM. WooD.-The use of elm-wood for
various purposes is claiming the attention
of manufacturers. The elm marketed is
known as the "gray elm" Elm of any
kind is rightfully designated when it is
called tough p and tough it is after the
manner of the toughest leather. It's grain
is not straight and easily separated Ike
oak, or some other woods, but 1t is inter-
woven, gnarled, knotty. and tough, as any
one may learn who attempts to cut it.
The elm in use is the water-elm found in
high places. Until lately it was let alone
and considered useless but any farmer
where elm grows, knows the value thereof.
When new ax-handls is wanted, he does
not buy the cheeky and cross grained helves
manufactured, to wear out speedily, but
makes one of his owa handiwork from an
elm limb. Such helves will outlast
dozen of the machinery-cut kind. For
all kinds of farming implements elm is
particularly desirable, as well as for wheel
stock and any coatrivance that requires
strength. One frm is said to be supplied
with half-million feet of elm. The
wood is coming into general use, and is a
valuable addition to the hard grain woods.

SkyIarks in New Jersey.

On the 1st of May Henry Hales liber-
ated at Ridgewood, Bergen County, N
j., seventy-four of the skylarks i'm
ported by I. W. England, and reports
the entire success of the experiment.
After a few days enjoyment OF the
sweets of liberty the birds set about
housekeeping. They stole away by pairs
ip the fields and began nest building.
The males became more and more vo-
cal, and scared aloft above their sitting
mates and poured forth their sweetest
strains. The nests, hidden in the grass
or grain, were not easily discovered, put
some of them were found. They con-
tanned four or i've Ir6UhT0U 0gg5 u 8
preenish-gray cast. Like other nests
placed on the ground, some OF them
have been visited by cats or other pred
atory animals, but in other cases the
eggs have gone safely through the proc
ess of incubation and the young larks-
real American born skylarks have ap-
peared. There is no question that the
Youngsters will take care of themsel7es
and, barring accidents common to all
birdlings, reach maturity. -HacSe@Sac"

The Maryels Of Surgery.

A remarkable surgical operation was
performed recently in Vienna by Pro-
fessor Theodore Billroth, which marks
a new step in the art of healing by ex-
cision. 1t is the first case on record
where the removal of part of the hu-
man stomach, with tumor and its roots
attached, has been successful DR..
Lewis A. Sayre, well-known New
York surgeon, being interviewed by a
New York reporter regarding this case,
was asked
"Have operations as difficult as gas
trectomy been performed successfully
by American surgeons?'
90 yes, a great many. One Of the
most remarkable operations which have
come under my notice was performed
last year by physician living some
where in the backwoods of North Car
olina. The patient was colored boy
about eight years of age, who was dying
of hunger on account of a cicatrized
structure of the esophagus, the result of
drinking by mistake a large quantity of
solution of commercial concentrated
lye. This had closed the esophagus so
completely that he was unable to swal-
low anything, and he had been kept
alive for several months by enemata and
by rubbing the skin with cod-liver oil.
The physician introduced hard rubber
tube into the stomach, the outer end Of
which he closed with an ordinary cork.
The operation necessary to accomplish
this was in many ways similar to that
performed by Professor Billroth. The
boy recovered slowly, but never had
any peritonitiS, ordinarily the cause of
death after this operation; but he came
very near dying from an over quantity
of grated ham and biscuit three weeks
after the operation. In feeding the
Gsophagus' is simply removed to the
outside Of his person, for it is rubber
instead of being muscular tissue. The
boy after thoroughly masticating his
food, simply spits it through the tube
into his stomach in semi fluid state.
In this manner his life has been saved,
and he is now independent of the strict
ure of the psophagus," !"

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

The oldest educational institution
in the country is the Boston Latin
School.
There are forty-two Baptist churches
in the District of Columbia. OF these
ten are white and thirty-two colored.
1t is said that the Rev. George AL
len, of Massachusetts, is the only min
lister living who attended the Grst meet
ing of the American Board of Foreign
Missions.
There are 266 city missionaries in
New York City, and the number Of
calls they may make in the course of
year on the sick and poor is estimated
at 100000.
An American lady is attending the
lectures Of the celebrated Psychologist,
Professor Virchow, at Berlin. This is
the first instance of female student at
the University of Berlin.
Tobacco is prohibited to the students
of Oberlin College, Girard College and
the Naval School of Annapolis. A SIM
liar rule has been recommended for
West Point by the Board of Visitors. AT
Cornell University nearly all the stu
dents have voluntarily signed a pledge
of abstinence.
Most of the Methodist ministers in
Alabama receive very poor pay. Yet
these self-denying men have just con-
tributed from their own salaries enough
money to support foreign missionary.
This was done in consequence of the
pressure of resolution introduced into
Conference at its recent session.
The Baltimore Biblical Institute has
dedicated its new building, in which it
has facilities for educating $50 students.
Ninety-six candidates for the ministry
have during the past twelve months en-
joved the advantages of this institution.
These are all colored people, as it is
only for their benefit that the institution
is carried on.
The northwestern provinces of In
dia have made astonishing progress in
free education. There is hardly viii
lage without its government school,
wherein are taught reading, writing,
arithmetic, the geography and history
of India, and in the higher classes lit
tie Euclid. These schools are governed
by local committees, made up of Euro
peans and native gentlemen.
Bishop Wightman, of the Southern
Methodist Church, has been confined
to his house by illness since last Octo-
ber. During most of this time he has
been unable to leave his bed. For
some weeks his recovery was not looked
for, but he is now so much better that
he has left Charleston for Summerville,
which is about twenty miles off. He
hopes to engage in his regular duties in
few weeks.
