Rag Carpet Notes.

A good way to plan for the arrange
ment of the stripe in your carpet so that
the different colors may be evenly dis
tributed, is this: Reel each of the
bright colors into knots, and as you
know each knot contains eighty yards,
you may calculate in this manner
Suppose You wish to make 30 yards of
carpet and have five knots-or 400
yards-of red then you can hayein each
yard threads of red as many times as 20
Is contained in 400, or 16. The darker
or predominating colors may be estimat-
ed by the pound but if a little study is
given to the quantity of each color, there
need be no ~odd-looking breadths IN
which some of the colors have run ont.
Do not have too many colors. Brown,
geeen, red and orange, with some Gu
fral tints, harmonic we'll; but if you
add blue and yellow, they will give a
cheap, tawdry look to the carpet. Quite
a pretty bedroom carpet has been late
ly made. with but two colors-stripes of
gray and blue, each about five inches
wide, separated by q few threads of
black and white alternately. The blue
and the gray were both cotton the blue
colored by the usual recipe for blue on
cotton, and the gray colored with tea
leaves, copperas being used to set the
color. AS the furniture was painted
gray with blue decorations, and oil the
little dainty appointments Of the room
were III the same color, it was a delight
to see that even a rag-carpet could be
made to harmonic pleasantly with its
surroundings.
Another bedroom carpet that locked
very nice, was made entirely Of a dark
tan color and q bright copperas twisted
together. Both these carpets seem to
keep their color pretty we'll; but, of
course. being Of cotton, they will fade
sooner than wooden.
1t hardly pays to color cotton green,
as green is the most expensive dye i'm

FOR the dye will generally buy several
yards of new green calico of a much
better color than you can make, while

cheaper color.

Raising Calves.

All the heifer calves produced by
good cows should be reared. The 9TH
er calves should be we'll fed and made
to grow as rapidly as possible so as to
bring them to a large size while young.
They need not be fed wholly on new
milk in order to bring them to a large
size. Skim milk, if furnished in
sufficiently large quantities, win pro-
duee a large growth. Linseed meal
Cruel may be fed largely as a substi-
tute for milk. Dat meal or rye meal
Cruel may be used in the same way. In
the vicinity of cheese factories the whey
may be fed along with linseed meal
Cruel and a good growth secured. In
stead Of selling calves for veal when
four or six weeks old, as is the common
practice, they should be fed till six
months Or a year old. In this way
calves of large size can reproduced and
sold for q good price.

Obliged to sleep together, or with their
parents. This is to be avoided, if pos
slble; II not, always lower a window
slightly from the top-if this cannot be
done, raise it from below.
fhere is frequently bad air enough
generated in the sleeping apartment OF
a family with small children, to supply
them all not only with colds, but with a
number of SO called "malarious" diseases
to last q year, perhaps longer.
Neglect of bathing is another prolific
source of colds. A ~childfrom three to
ten years old should certainly receive
an entire bath at night, taking special
care to avoid any chill after, will gener-
ally break up a sudden cold.
Keep children from playing in chilly,
unused rooms in autumn and winter
weather. Let them play out of doors as
much as possible taking care to keep their
feet warm and dry. A flannel suit and
rubber overshoes will often save much
cough medicine and doctors bills.

Where labor is not too costly, or
where, as in a large family, no account
is made Of the labor of children, it is
possible to obtain a large income from a
comparatively small flock o ffowls. This
is accomplished by raising successive
crops of chickens during the season.
The first crop shonld be out ofthe she'll
by Feb. /, and the last installment by
June 10. We are speaking now of rails
ing chickens for market. The first
Matched will be ready for market by the
first of Nav, and the last by Thanks
giving. The OIL fowls should be dis
posed of in Jnly, or as soon as their SER
vices as layers and mothers can be dis
pensed with. The successive broods
should be disposed of just as soon as
they will command a fair price. The
earliest will be in marketable condition
in from eight to twelve weeks. They
can never be more proitably disposed
of than at that age, for as they increase
in size prices decline, and so the extra
food bestowed on them is actually
thrown away.
BY this method Of promptly dispos-
ing of the chicks as they mature, the
premises do not become overstocked
and the soil of the runs foul, as is the
case when large focks are kept through
out the season to be sold at the holt
days. By selling off the old stock in
July the greatest possible profit is OBJ
tanned from them. After this date they
lay but few eggs, begin to moult III the
fall, and perhaps lay not a single egg
before winter. The extra poundor two
of flesh they put on does not pay for
their keep. BY killing off all surplus
stock by Thanksgiving the yards are
cleared out, and opportunity is given
to feed and care well for the few that
are to be kept over for next seasons
breeding. The extra care these few re-
ceive viii induce early laying and
broodiness in the spring, and these two
points are essential to success. -Ameri-

The poorest and lightest sandy sell is
better for fowls than any other, The
rains carry downward all the impurities
and such soil is always herd and free
from mud, becoming dry in a short time.
Diseases are not SO frequent on light
soils, especially roup, and gaps in young
chicks seldom eccng. This enables
those possessing poor, sandy soils to
utilize those for poultry raising, and in
a short time the land may be fitted for
growing crops. Trees are benefited by
poultry, not only BIZ the droppings left
on the ground, but also through thede-
struction of insects. Poultry and fruit
should be the object, and there are
many locations that could be made SER
yiceable in that respect.

Many mothers appear to accept with
resignation the repeated and violent
colds from which their children suffer
as providential and unavoidable. A
cold is by no means always due to ex-
posnre. Indigestion, constipation, Q
lack Of sczupulous cleanliness, the unv
wise habit Of sleeping in much OF the
clothes worn during the day, unalred
chambers-all or any Of these things
may have far more to do with your
child's tendency tocoldt than the keenest
breath of air. And in a great measure
these things are under your control.
Mothers should understand that u y
a fact, whether they can'see how II y on
not, that numerous colds and sore
throats are directly traceable to mdl-
gestion and dietetic errors. Quantities
u greasy food, fried meats, pastry, and
the like, ill-venfilated rooms, n on

Bangle mania, a craze with which
most young ladies are at some time
more or less affected, threatens to soon
make away with the few thousands of
gold dollars yet in circulation. To-day
there are less than 1000 gold dollar
pieces in the vaults of the ~subtreasury
in Wall street, and they are reserved
for the use of government paymasters
at foreign stations. Within two months
10, 900 were applied for by bangle fends
and others, but every applicant went
away disappointed. Last month only
2,753 were struck off at the mint. A
West India firm recently sent 5000
to Cuba, and a few months ago one of
the banks of the city succeeded after
come difficulty, in obtaining FIVE hum
bred for export to France, where they
will be made into bangles or worked in
to iewelry. Hundreds of thousands of
them have been withdrawn from circu-
lation through bangle mania and if the
craze does not die out, cr the govern
ment fails to come to the rescue with a
more liberal issue of the coin III question,
it will not be a great while before vir-
IN and unmutilated specimens will be-
com valuable as curiosities. A coin OF
any description made into bangle or
other article Of adornment loses its face
value. While there is no law against
defacing metal money, attempts to utter
it after such mutilaticn are subject to
punishment in the shape of severe pen
alties.

Tha Enrr TWINS Give tha Doorkaener of
the House Considerable uneasiness.
From the Washington Republican.
There are two members Of the house
who have twin brothers who greatly re-
semble them. The legislators who re-
joice in duplicates are Phil. Thompson
of Kentucky and Representative Horr
of Michigan. tits not an unusual thing
for Mr.. Thompson's brotherto find him
self gathered by The arm by one of the
Hon. Pills Democratic colleagues and
dragged in on the floor OF the house and
the injunction Numbered in his ear:
"Why the devil don't you get in your
seat and vote? Our bill is upon its
passage"
The other day Mr.. Horr's brother APP
preached the main door ofthe house
and the polite Democrat in charge
promptly snatched open the green baize
door and bowed him in on the house
floor. The Michigan twin ssSofied over
to his brothers seat, sat down and took
part in all the opening ceremonies of
the Legislative day except that he failed
to answer the roll call. Representative
Reed of Maine, who has some peculiar
way of identifying the Horn brothers,
concluded he would have a little fun,
and slipped over and posted the door
keeper. The functionary stalked over
to the desk of the Michigan statesman
and informed the intruder that he must
come out. "But, said the occupant of
the chair, "my name is Horr; I'm from
Michigan The democratic door-slam-
mer looked hard at the intruder, and
would have weakened had not Mr.. Reed
made signs for him to go ahead, that it
was all right. "But you are not Rep
resentative Horr, = said the guardian Of
tie house, "and you must come out
side" Just then the real representa-
tive Of the eight Michigan district came
in, and the d~oorkeeper glared at
the two in evident dismay.
"All right said Represent ative
Horr to his brother; "you 60 outside,
and I'll come out and talk to you" As
the twin passed out the doorkeeper took
q sort of mental photograph of him
with his eyes, and said to his chum /:
"I1l be blowed if he ONE that game
on me again. In q moment or two Mr..
Horn left the floor and joined his broth
er in the corridor. After they had fin-
ished their chat the representative said
to his brother: "You go in now and
take my seat again. AS he passed the
portal the doorkeeper smiled confidently
and said: GAIL RIGHT. sir. i know which
is which now" When citizen Horr was
again in his brothers seat, Mr.. Reed
again beckoned to the doorkeeper and
said: "Great heavens! you've let the
wrong man in again" and then pointed
to Representative Horr, who vas COM
ing in from another door. The bewild-
cred doorkeeper looked at the two Horrs
and then, as the cold sweat gathered on
his brow, he stammered out: For
Gods sake, mark 'em some way or I'm
likely to turn the other fellow in a cau-
Gus any night"
