FASHIONS In Calico.

Bright colofs and large patterns-loud
styles Of prints, foulards, cambrics and
brocades- had remarkable run
during the past season. and what is
more curious still is that the demand
for these goods still continues 1t was
supposed that as the summer Waned
and sober tinted autumn came on people
would, In sympathy with nature or from
3 proper aesthetic taste. adopt less loud
styles and more sober colors; but the
taste for tie loud styles still persists.
The trade. however. knowing how
quickly the public taste may change, is
beginning to be more cautions in hand
ling its goods and looks for reaction
and demand for the smaller patterns and
more tasteful. or at least more
seasonable, shades. and modest styles.
The prices of last week are firmly main
tanned, and there is no reason why they
will not hold throughout Dress goods
continue to demand attention, and the
demand for several popular styles is
ahead of the supply. In imported goods,
especially. the trade Is better than it has
been for several years Choice imports
are becoming quite scarce IN some
varieties Ladies are taking TO wearing
woolens moro and moro every year.
Plain goods in all the staple colors and
new shades are very active The shades
most in demand are myrtles, garnets,
bronzes navies, olives. browns, plums,

Floor Coverings.

Il Is mooted question whether mat
ting should be taken up and laid ava,
or left on the floor under the carpet
Under an ingram the seams in the mat
ting undoubtedly wear the carpet, un
less three or more thicknesses of pape
are laid between them. Tapestry ant
Brussels Competing are but little affectet
by the mating which undoubtedly
keeps better upon the floor. Indeed, i
it is left down and covered with coarse
brown wrapping paper, such as grocer
use, put between it and the carpet. i
will be found nicely cleaned by spring
We have found stains which resisted al
other applications disappear entirely
under such treatment
Carpets which have been laid away fol
the summer should be carefully exam.
ined before putting down, and if ths
moths have invaded them, should at once
be sent to the steam-cleaners, Ingrair
carpets may be nicely mended By
slipping q patch under the hole and
FASTING patch and carpet together witt
still flour paste, taking care that ths
figures match. and ironing with a hot
iron to make the edges lie smooth and
adhere properly.
The popular fancy FOR rugs and mat
is an economical one, since it renders
easy to hide any worn or faded spots il
the carpet under their friendly shelter
A faded carpet may often be mucl
freshened by washing with beefs gal
| and water part OF gall to three O
cold water. Rub this into the carpe
either with a clean flannel or sof
brush; rinse the la:her off with cold wa
Ter, and rub the carpet dry with q sof
| CLOTH IL there are any very dirty place,
wash them with gall only, 1t viii b.
wise to speak for the gall few day:
before it is needed. Light colorec
Brussels or velvet carpets may be dye6
to form the center of large rug, or 70,
carpet with bright border. Dying
will expose any worn places mercilesa
iy, for the carpet must necessarily be-
dyed all one color; but where the carpet
is good one, and the light color is OBJ
jected 70, the experiment will probably
prove satisfactory in the highest degree
giving an entirely new effect web suited
10 he fashion of the day.
Stained floors with large rugs in the
center OF the room grow constantly 10
favor, and some handsome new houses
have floors of costly woods highly pol
lshed for the purpose. Elegant Turk
lsh and Persian rugs are used on these,
but the fashion obtains also in cheaper
fabrics, and ingram and tapestry rugs
are shown in abundance at the carpet
stores, along with the pretty Smyrne
rugs which initiate the Oriental carpets

The fact of nothing being done, is
perhaps, excepting the tariff ques-
ton, an argument that there was
nothing to debut make speeches
for future campaign purposes--and
there being nothing to do is an ar
gument sgainst our Congress meet

not hesitate TO declare it o waste of
money for Congress to be in sessions
Oftener than one year in four. It 10

Whatever may be said against the
stage and the drama of to-day, it is a
noticeable fact that the plays produc-
ed-eVen going so far as to admit
some of the more sensational in the
category-all convey the moral of the
defeat of vice and the triumph of vir-
tue. The pulpit may hurl anathemas
against the playhouse; but the pulpit
quotes Shakespeare to point its NOR
ais, nevertheless. The trouble with
some ministers of the gospel is that
they fail to understand that men and
women are taught more through the
senses than through the intellect
The parallels of the Master appealed
directly to the senses of hearers. In
olden times the peasantry were taught
through the miracle plays. Going
further back, the populaces of Rome
and Athens were urged to patriotic
endeavor by the rude plays presented
to them. 1t is not to be expected
that the stage of to-day viii incite to
patriotic endeavor or accomplish any
very grand moral purpose; but it GER
tainly does afford innocent amuse-
ment, and it is not likely to harm
anybody, while it may do good to
thousands. Columbus Enquirer Sun.
