CARE OF CARPETS.

To make sweeping an easy task, get
carpets Of kind that are easily swept,
then save them from unnecessary litter
by care about scattering fine chips or
crumbs, of wood, cloth, paper or food
Eating should be done in rooms easily
cleaned, with carpets Of oilcloth, or
similar material, or with bare floors, or
with a linen crumb cloth spread upon
the carpet underneath the table. Chill
dren should not be allowed to run about
the house with pieces Of food in their
hands. If their food is not all taken al
the table, the child should be obliged to
ait still somewhere, catching his crumbs
upon napkin, bib or apron, instead Of
dropping them upon the floor. Chill
dren who learn "to save mamma trou-
bic" and so get at least smile OF graf
itude from her for their thoughtfulness,
are far happier than those who are not
trained to care, but are allowed to make
themselves o general nuisance among
orderly people. II they wish to white
or to cut paper or dolly things in your
best rooms, you need not necessarily re-
fuse them. Spread large cloth or
newspaper down to catch the chips or
clippings, and see that it is safely emp
tied as soon us the child's work is done.
Grown-up people are sometimes very
annoying, because of their lack Of this
kind of training. They pull flowers to
pieces in your presence, white on your
smoothly-shaven lawn, scatter fruit
peelings and cigar stumps about the
gard, scribble on the covers of YOU
magazines and margins Of newspapers,
and scratch matches on the walls of the
house, or leave disagreeable marks Of
some kind in every possible place.

HUMoRs Of the Glendale NO. train
robbery : One man had with him 5000,
and taking it out of his wallet he divid-
ed it into two portions Of S15 and S1S5.
His intention was to put the $185 wad in
his sachel, but in the hurry and excite
ment of the occasion he put the Sl5 pile
in the sachel, and when the robbers en-.
tered the car and he handed over the
other wad he chuckled to himself that
he had made big hit in concealing his
money in his sachel. 1t was not till he
reached home that he discovered his
terrible blunder. A gentleman in the
sleeper hid his wallet, containing $175,
under the cushion Of the seat. When
the robbers entered the train they
ordered all the passengers to stand
down toward one end OF the sleeper,
while they searched the car. The first
cushion they raised was the one under
which the SITS had been planted. The
leader Of the train-robbers appeared to
be very angry at such an exhibition Of
want of confidence, and made inquiries
Of the passengers as to who had con-
cealed the money in such place, but,
being unable to ascertain, he said that
it was ad---d good thing for the man
that he could not fud out, for he would

passenger hid his money and watch in a

Our English critics, while admitting

unfortunately true that the system oil

THE NEWSPAPER OF TINE FUTURE.

TIE NEWSPAPER or THE FUTURE.
Editor Smith, Of the Chicago Weekly
Express, is OF the opinion that "the
newspaper Of the future ought to be, and
doubtless will be, a sheet Of moderate
size, printed in plain type Of good size,
ON clean white paper. Its pages will be
small, and it viii be folded, cut and
stitched like a magazine. II IL be gen.
eral newspaper it will be devoted to
matters Of general interest, leaving the
details of markets. court reports, etc.,
TO journals devoted to such spscialties.
II will contain no advertisements I; pa
pers devoted to advertising as q special
ty will be circulated at nominal cost
1t will omit all Of the petty and immoral
news which fills SO much OF the space Of
the daily press Of the present day
crimes, scandals, personalities and pro-
vincial items. Criminal and scandalous
matters will be monopolzed by the
scavenger press, the journals Of immor-
atty. 1t will be fair and open and in.
dependent; it will give hearing to diff
ferent opinions and to all enlightened
thought. 1t will seek reputation fol
its ideas as well as for its news. II will
employ the ablest writer's and thinkers
OF its time, and it will give pay adequate
to attract such labor. It's greatness will
be measured by its ability, moderation,
truthfulness, decency and fairness, and
not by its sensations or its size. And
there are many things it will not do. II
will not blackmail any one; it will mol
wear the livery Of the rich and the pow.
erful it will not be q machine to CRAFTY
the personal likes and dislikes Of it
owner; 1t will put on no airs Of infalli.
pility; it will be careful to libel no one,
and to make no mistakes hut il il
