Again, there are some men about the Offices Of
the Secretary Of the Senate and that of the Ser
geant-at-arms who have got it into their
heads that they are there for ornamental pur-
poses, to draw pay and appear handsome. and
they have become so overbearing and insolent
that trey are intolerebIe to the public. They do
not understand that they are but servants, and
seldom answer EVIL question by stranger in
an intelligent or civil manner. This insolence is
to be brought to the attention of the men who
are responsible for the appointments.

RUGS MADE OF RAGS.
Odds and Ends Made UP Into Pretty Pat

Odds and Ends Made Up Into Pretty Pat
terms by Nimbie-Fingered Women.

1.-THE latest economical rage among the ladies
is making rugs out of rags, tuft, old gowns,
bridal dresses worn out, and any kind of ma
terial considered past utilizing" said the pro
prietor of rug establishment on Broadway to a
representative of the Mail and Express.
IAN ingenious fellow invented an arrangement
by which the rags can be wound round a couple
of steel bars or tines, and then sewed together
on the machine. In an hour or so a beautiful
rug IS completed, which is just as dur
able rs any other kind. All the material
comes on the upper side and is firmly sewed OH
a base or foundation of coarse cloth. Artistic
designs are frequently attained by the blending
of different colors.. A lady made up rug by
this method from an old battle flag whic h her
She worked his picture out of the red, and used
the other colors for background. She did the
greater part of it in one day. The colonel came
home and mourned the lose of his trophy, but
when he saw his picture bloom out on the sur
face he forgave her ana consented to the sacri-
fice.n
''Of course any kind of cloth can be used7"
Eyes, the finest Smyrna wool can be used
after Oriental designs. Crazy rugs in blocks,
hit and miss, solid colors and original designs
are made with less material and labor more per
fectly than any other process, and entirely on
the sewing machine. 1t is fashionable craze.
Ladies who never did anything of the kind be-
fore spend few hours at the machine, and pro-
duce rug with some handsome designs on it,.
The chief recommendation of these rugs to the
ladies is the fact that they cost comparatively
nothing in the makeup, require but little work,
and are handsome and useful The beautiful
effects are produced by colors. A lady used a
part of the dress she married in, slice from her
husbands wedding coat and sash ribbons her
bridesmaids wore, in making rug, and called It
the honeymoon rug.

The American people are egg eaters. AS a gen

''From Jersey, Delaware, Virginia, North

although not half so good as the fresh, yet they
have the effect of lowering prices. All of the
peasantry in Germany Belgium and Holland
raise large quantities of fowl But in the United
States few farmers only pay attention to the
industry.
What is the reason that the farmers in the
United States do not raise more fowls2'
Simple enough. They have been in the
habit of making large profits from stock and
grain and other products, and thought eegrais-
ing too slow. They see their mistake now. and

farmer with enterprise will have an egg farm or

world, and ships will be chartered by the whole

These among the newest of the "art

and floss embroidery ard is, at the same time,
easier Of execution. Oil colors are used and an
embroidery design is copied, every stitch being
initiated by stroke of fine brush or pen the
brush being used for the larger stitches, the pen
for blending or stitches too small for the brush.

all of the colors are employed as prepared, but

Lustra painting is broadly decorative; so bold

be outlined in silk, as in embroidery, or merely
