TILES VS.. Carpets.

The wonderful strides made by the tile
makers in their manufactures during the
past ten years has become serious thing
for the manufacturers and dealers in car
pets. 'sThere Is no doubt, said Broad
way carpet-dealer, s'that the substitution
of tiles for carpets and wood flooring will
in time become universal. Even now these
exquisite little blocks from the ovens Of the
tile manufactures are used at the expense
IF less costly foorings. Some Of them are
much more beautiful than those found in
the old Italian and Greek churches. The
labors of the tile-makers are no longer con-
fined to the plain, ugly-colored blocks Of
concrete Copies of the most celebrated
art works, embodying all the delicate
shades, are reproduced in the squares of
clay. Sometimes each tile is a gem in
itself; then again each tile represents only
portion Of one immense design. When
the public becomes educated up to the
worth of the tile, am afraid the carpet
and wood companies must go.-N Z.

writes to the Philadelphia Press that she
has secured immunity from the ravages of
the buffalo moth or carpet worm or moth
or any description, in the period of twenty
years housekeeping, by the use Of turpen-
tine in the following manner. After each
of my carpets is well swept it is at once
gone over with the following mixture
TO three quarts of pure, cold water add
three tablespoonful of turpentine. In this
thoroughly saturate a sponge, squeeze about
two thirds dry, and go over each separately
and in all corners As often as the water
becomes soiled take fresh supply. You
will be surprised to see how beautifully it
will cleanse your carpets, besides being one
of the best disinfectants. My father, an
eminent physician, had this always prac-
ticed in his family, and we were never
troubled with feyers any more than moths
/ told this to a carpet firm last year whose
carpets were being ruined by buffalo moths.
Within ten days they were entirely gone
and have not been seen there since.

"A LOCAL QUESTION: {"
Is That Ali!--This Prohibition of Ghe
 LiquOr Traffic.

Is That Alls--This Prohibition of she
 Liquor Traffic.
 If the smallpox abounded in every state and town in the land. would it not be called a national affliction ? This great curse of intemperance is nationai curse. We must do more than close up the saloons in our own town, or our boys will be made drunkards by going to other towns, where liquor is sold anl drunkards enough made to fill our iails and inebriate asyiums.
 Local and state prohibition is good as far as it goes; but with only local efforts to suppress the evils of intemperance, the evil will exist forever. We may now ask as did the members on the floor of Congress, when, all in tremble, they asked what they should do at the outbreak of the War of the Rebellion An the answer came to them from Il loyal nation with warm, strong hearts that, "they had right to do anything to save the Union, and all these ifs and technicalit;es could be settled after wards" Yes we now give national prohibition party power to enforce the laws, and every saloon will have to go. It is the saloon that today is dictating what shall be and what shall not be.
 The power of the ballot, this wou- derful weapon iu the hands of a part of the people, can enforce law. What a power one yields that votes; and vot- ing right, is pleasing to God.

Duty On Tobacco.

The largest meeting of farmers ever held in Lancaster county assembled December IA at Lancaster, Pa., to peti- tion Congress to impose an increased luty on Sumatra tobacco, the importa- tions of which are seriously affecting the home industry. A resolution was adopted asking Congress to amend the present law so that all foreign leaf to- bacco, any part of which is suitable for wrappers, if not stemmed. shall pay a duty of $1.5O per pound, and if stem med, $2 pound on the whole contents of the package.
 New England tobacco growers met at Hartford, Conn.,, Thursday, and decided to petition Congress for law taxing Sumatra wrapper leaf at $1.50 pound for unstemmed, and $3 if stemmed.

THE BETTER WAY,
OR HOW

OR HOW
 The Connecticut Western News Gives
 ttS ubscriberH and AdVertIaers
 Value Received for their Money.
 We endeavor to make The News itSeJf worth the subscription price and con- clude that we do, for we hear no com plaint from onr subscribers, aud yet, at the same time we are aware that the majority of country papers give their subscribers premiums to keep them good natured or to induce them to pay up arrearages.
 We do not offer premiums or directly club with other papers or magazines because the keeping of such accounts or records would absorb a large portion of the time which must to be devoted to the paper in order to maintain its standard, but we do indirectly give our subscribers an opportunity, through Egleston's subscription agency to club The News with 5000 or moro different periodicals.
 This method of clubbing The News with other periodicals does not rob the paper of the time which legitimately belongs to it and which is essential to make an interesting paper, for it will readily be seen that it is easier to keep an account of 5000 items with one sub- scription agency than to keep an ac- count of one item with 5000 different publishers.
 MT Egleston's advertisement in an- other column tells the story and 1t is not necessary for us to review it further than to explain that his offer of 1.-two papers for the price of one" is dish oi his own cooking. We do not offer any chromos or premiums with The News, but do not object to Mir Egleston offer ing them if he chooses to. The Farm Journal is valuable paper and no doubt the publishers of that journal will greatly increase their circulation by introducing it through Egleston's agen- cy to the readers of The News.
 Bear in mind that some publishers who offer ''two papers for the price of one, or, three papers for S2.25 year in advance" charge at the rate of S2 50 ira alrdnce for MeiT' 'Ceehty paper aloRe on all subscriptions for less than a year. Others charge $2.5 8 year if not paid in advance or even g. 50 in single wrap pers. The terms of The News indepen- dent of Egleston's agency, are printed at the head of the first and second pag- es, to which reference is made, and are at the same proportionate rate for three or six months as for year. and no extra price is charged for papers in single wrappers.
 Lastly, 0 word to advertisers. Mir Egleston has the names and post-office addresses of 10, 900 farmers in all parts of the United States. He proposes to mail copy of The News to each ad- dress, mailing from 200 to 500 copies each week until the 10000 is reached. Advertisers, especially the owners or agents of proprietary articles, should appreciate this opportunity of placing their advertisements in 10000 homes in all parts of the land.
