Mattings,

To all persons who contemplate fur.
nishing house, and who desire to unite
saving of money with saving of labor, l
will make suggestion. Nothing in my
experience of housekeeping has given
me more real satisfaction than the mat
tings on all my second-story rooms
Beautiful mattings can be purchased for
fifty cents yard, and its advantages
over carpets are legion. Ii we consider
health Of paramount Importance, as we
should do in these DAYS OF invalid women,
then we cannot hesitate a moment in
our choice between carpet and mating
for & sleeping-room while n carpet at
tracts the dust and stores up an endless
amount OF it, to be circulated through
the air at all times. q closely woven mat
ting retains none of it; the dust collects,
to be sure, as it always will in all places,
but with scarcely any expenditure of
strength can be swept off easily and
quietly. without flying about and cover
ing the furniture. Gentle. efficient sweep
ing is a rare gift among servants; they
usually scrape the carpet almost in
pieces. and raise clouds of dirt, part of
which settles again in the room.
Carpets attract something still worse
than dust; the insidious moth is bette
NOR to housekeepers; its favorite lurk-
ing places are around the edges of car
pets, and especially under pieces of fur
niture, where unseen and unsuspected
by the novitiate housewife it commits
greyious depredations. Ny mattings
were put down in the spring; through
the summer they were cool looking and
grateful; in the fall / was spared the
terrible tearing up of rooms and shaking
of carpets; only had my mattings wiped
of with a clean cloth and water, when
they had the fragrance of new-mown
hay. Some warm looking rugs and mats
thrown down in the winter gave cosy,
comfortable look to the rooms. In the
following spring when the mattings were
taken up was amazed to see that no
dirt at all had worked through them;
the floors were rs clean as though lately
swept.
Bare floors with rugs are handsome,
but an exceeding great care; the polish
ed boards get scratched in spite of the
greatest care, and moreover show every
particle of dust.
Consider for II moment, all weary
nousekeepers, in how many ways mat
tings could diminish your cares, and
you must certainly agree with me in
asserting that they are the most desirable
covering for the floors of sleeping apart
ments. Even one of the prettiest parlors
l know has mating upon the floor In
the winter large Turkish rug of genial.
warm colors covers all the center OF the
room; the heavy red drapery of the
windows is drawn far back SO that the
sun streams in and brightens the wicker
chairs with their comfortable cushions.
One cannot enter the room without feel
ing that an artists brain has conceived
and an artists hand arranged such
beauty.

Reading.

The mere act OF reading is not praise
worthy. To read book after book with
no settled purpose is too much like
gathering miscellaneous assortment
OF pieces of cloth and never having
them made into clothes which can be
worn. The substance of the matter is
to read for the sake of finding out some
thing and also to get at the informa-
ton in the quickest way possible. But
we do not always read for improve
ment, and every one should know the
purpose for which he reads-whether
for rest, amusement or knowledge. A
boy or girl tired by work in the shop
or house, takes up Hawthorne's Won
der Book''-that is reading for rest,
Fretted by low marks at school, one be-
comes absorbed in ''Swiss Family Rob-
inson''-that is reading for amusement.
Eager to instruct the mind. you read
Bancroft's History OF the United
States''-that is reading for improve
ment. The three purposes are frequent
ly combined. One may find in reading
Macaulay's" Essay on Bacon rest,
amusement, and improvement. OF these
purposes that of improvement OF mind
and heart is most important. In all
reading whose immediate aim is either
recreation or pleasure, the remote aim
should be the formation of g noble char
acter. No one should read book with
out resolving to be aided by it in every
right endeayor. The purpose for which
one reads determines the choice OF the
book. If you are in doubt what to
read. form clear idea CT the reason Of
your reading, and the selection of a
proper book is made easy. IL any case,
select only tlIe best; no one can afford
to narrow his mind by the perlsal of
trash

Killed at the Ford.
BY II. ". LOyGFELLOw.

He Is dead, the beautiful youth,
The heart of honor, the tongue of truth;
He, the life and light OF US all,
Whose voice was b,ithe as q bugie-call,
Whom all eyes followed with one consent,
The cheer Of whose laugh, and whose pleasant
word
flushed all murmurs Of discomfort.
Only last night, as We rode along
Down the DARK of the mountain gap,
To visit The picket-guard at the ford.
Little dreaming OF any mishap,
He was bIlmmTrg the words of some old song:
Two red roses he had on his cap.
And another he bore at the point Of bis sword. -
Sudden and swift whjstling ball
Came ont Of wood, and the voice was still;
Something heard IL the darkness fall,
And for moment ny blood grew chill;
spoke IN q whisper, as he rho speaks
In room where some one is lying dead;
Eut he made no answer to what said.
We lifted him up to his saddle again,
And through the mire aud the mist and the
rain
Carried him back to the silent camp,
And laid him as il asleep on his bed,
And saw by the light of the surgeons lamp
Two white roses upon his cheeks,
And one, just over his heart, blood-redl
And saw In vision how far and feet
That fatal bullet went speeding forth,
TIL II reached town in the distant North,
Jflt II reached q house In a sunny street,
Till it reached q heart that ceased to beat
without murnur. without a cry:
And a bell was tolled in that Iar-off town,
For one who had passed from cross to
And the neighbors wondered that she should
die.

Poetry and Practical Work.

Charles Sprague, Boston boy, cash.
Ter and poet, whose Fourth-of-July ora
Sion has been ''got by heart by more
than one generation, was indebted for
his intellectual cultivation to his own eff
forts. He began with a common-schooi
education. which then meant the "three
R's-reading, 'riting and 'rithmetic." :"
But he supplemented those by reading
good books and by the practice of COM
position in prose and poetry.
Entering a grocer's shop, he worke d
up until he had store of his own. SeV-
eral odes he wrote. especially one, recited
st the Shakespeare celebration i'll Bos-
ton, in 1923, attracted public attention.
He was appointed cashier of the Globe
Bank and held the Office for forty years,
thus showing that literature and banking
may be intimate friends.
His Shakespeare ode. which has been
greatly admired, contains one passage,
the one descriptive of the murder, which
was favorite of the late James L. Fields.
On mentioning this fact to Mr.. Sprague,
he said.-
"Ah, how well do remember the day
l wrote that. | was keeping grocer S
shop on fremont Row at the time. 1t
was cold, stormy, winters day, and
was alone in the shop sitting over sheet
iron stove.
81 had just reached this passage and
was hoping nobody would come in,
when man opened the door and asked
for quart of train-oil. Well, sir, filled
his vessel for him and handed it back,
and then, my hands reeking with train
oil, finished that passage.
The anecdote illustrates that we'll
filled and trained mind can do its work
amid the most unfavorable surroundings
Few would think a grocer's shop suitable
! for poets room, Or that train-oil wa;
favorable to poetic composition. But
Mr.. Sprague had the mental power tc
| master even these surroundings.

look straight into his eyes he is power
less to do you harm. We tried this ex-
pertinent once and found it worked adj
mirably. The fierce animal tore the
ground with his feet and beloved with
all his might; but something seemed to
hold him back ike magic and he did us
no injury. Perhaps we ought to add,
in order to be correct historically, that
the bull was on the other side of the
fence. We never try an experiment of
that kind without taking the proper pre-
cautions beforehand

Hanging Baskets.

Hanging baskets require frequent
watering. to accomplish which, with due
regard for the carpet beneath. they must
commonly be taken down from their
perches, and then suspended elsewhere
to dry. This trouble may be avoided by
a simple and inexpensive device. Fill a
bottle with water. into which insert the
ends of two pieces of yarn. permitting
the other end of each piece to hang down
outside the bottle. The bottle should be
suspended just above the basket, and
the water allowed to drip, which will
flow in sufiicien; quantities TO keep the
earth moist

A Cat Boxing q Child's Ear.

Picture to yourself little girl, about
two years of age, sitting on a low stool
before drawing-room fire. Coiled up
on the rug is q favorite domestic cat
The child is in q fretful mood, and has
been crying for some time. The cat en-
dures the annoyance for some time,
though evidently displeased. But even
feline patience has its limits. So pussy
uncoiled herself, walked up to the child,
and gave her box on the ear with her
closed paw. and then lay down again
before the fire. The child, taken COM
pitely aback. cried louder than ever
Again pussy tried to endure it. Again
her patience became exhausted, and she
delivered q second box upon the ear,
which nearly knocked the child off her
stool. 1t was now the little girls turn
TO be enraged. She rushed at the cat.
and dragged it round the room by the
tail. The story rests on the authority
OF the child's mother, who was witness
OF the scene.

ton that we have tried, not except
ing artichokes, chufas, ground peas,
turnips, or any other production for
which our soil Is adapted, or that has
been cultivated on similar soils in any
portion OF the world.
But / have abandoned the old high
ridge hoe culture that was in vogue
in our boyhood days, and for the
last twenty-five years have been
planting them in rows from 4 to
4 ] feet wide, plants 24 to 80 inches
apart, on flat ridges thrown up with
long four or five inch scooter put
in the ground as deep as possible,
and find loose soil with a good clay
under it best adapted for their pro-
duction, and yielding potatoes that
eat better, and keep better, than on
soils with sandy foundation. L Gull
tlvate as do cotton, leaving the
soil as near level as possible, as they
stand drouth better, and yield bets
ter crops. AS the crop is cultivated
almost entirely with the plow, scrape
or sweep, it is not much more ex~
pensive than the same area in corn.
In planting, l open the ridge with a
small scooter pillow and push the slips
or vines the depth required, into the
soil with narrow board . inches
wide, and three feet long, pressing
the heel OF the foot down firmly on
each one as it is set (Which is very
essential, causing them to live BETTER.
To be successful il making potatoes
depends as much on their proper cul.
tivation, as the fertility OF the soil on
which they are grown. In fact, a
great mistake is frequently made in
planting them OF soils that are TOO
rich, as they, in such cases, make a
large quantity OF vines and but few
potatoes. Deep preparation and
shallow cultivation is The idea from
my experience. To save them, dig
when ripe, and, II after frost has
killed the vines, they should remain
several days in the ground before
they are dug, avoid cold winds on
them after they are dug, as they are
damaged as mach, or more, from
wind as by frost, it is cold. Uniform.
ity of temperature and dryness is all
that is essential in preserving them
through the winter and spring. TO
