CARPET BEATING
NOTICE.

There is no article in a household that
collects more unhealthy dirt than a Car
pet. After Carpet has been in use Tor
some time, sweeping takes off only
part of the dust and dirt, and the. rest
settles down into the fibre. No ordinary
beating will remove it. Hand beating
is ineffective, and the common beating
machine process but little better. Our
method is thorough and effective one,
and the super heated steam as applied
by our process will effectually relieve
the Carpets of all impurities, thereby
promoting health and comfort. Ma

mers in the vicinity have been visited
by mobs-men who have at first de
manded food and If refused, stole it.
Owners OF farms are now compelled to
barricade their houses as that is
the only way to guard them
from being plundered for food by the
mob. The search for the remains Of
persons who lost their lives during the
confagration has been proceeding as
rapidly as circumstances would allow.
Thus far sixty-eight bodies charred so

been taken from the ruins. There have
been twenty deaths in the fields since
Sunday of inyalids, young and old, who
were taken out Of town TO escape the

One of the "boys' now hanging out

q few months ago for some swindling
game, and was locked up in county
Jail pending examination. He was the
only prisoner in the building, and he
hadn't been in there fifteen minutes be-
fore he felt that an hours work would
let him out. 1t was u tumble-down af-
fair, built half century ago, and the
turnkey was n young Quaker. AS he
received his prisoner, he said;

honor not to escape"
All right" replied the prisoner, Il
want to stay right here and see this
case through"
He had the run of the corridor and an
open cell, and about two hours after
supper he had no trouble wrenching a
couple of bars off the corridor window.
Waiting for the jail to get quiet he lift
ed the sash and climbed out on the sill
for drop to the ground, but at that
instant he heard voice from beneath
him. saying:

Wonderful Photograp hs.

l am sometimes moved to wonder
whether the photographs which line the
shop-windows are considered beautiful
by their feminine originals. What
might be called contortion craze has
invaded the photograph gallery, and
women have their pictures taken in
poses that would have made their
mothers gasp with amazement twenty
years ago. This is not only true of ac-
tresses, but also of women who are So
cially eminent. One well-known leader
of New York society-not Mrs. Potter,
by the way-is on exhibition in numer-
GUS copies of photograph which de-
picts her, in gorgeous evening attire,
reclining at half-length upon low
chair, with her arms stretched back
over her head, holding huge feather
fan aloft She is looking at the fan,
and the effort throws her head so far
back that the tendons of her throat
stand out like whip-cords 1t is thea
trical and suggestive pose. The lady
would not for an instant think OF as
suming it in drawing-room-indeed,
she could not without causing infinite
scandal-and yet she allows herself to
be photographed in such pose, and is
exhibited in dozen shop-windows on
the principal thoroughfares.. Even Miss
Ada Rehan, who is usually acknow-
lodged to be woman of good taste, has
had herself photographed in a some
what similar manner. Only the head
and neck are shown. The view is from
in front, and the chin is held so high in
the air that one sees nothing but long
throat very much strained and topping
off in a sharp-pointed chin. Above the
chin may be seen, in dim horizontal
perspective, the features of Miss Rehan,
the nose alone rising distinct from the
somewhat blurred hue of the face. The
photograph Is life-size. The effect is
unpleasant.-M y Cor. San Francis

Frightening n Senator. .

Senators Beck and Voorhees, have
taken Mr.. Gordon into their brotherhood
of practical jokers. Mr.. Pugh, of Ala
bama, is the latest victim of this brill
liant combination. President Sherman
has lately adopted the plan of calling
the younger senators to the chair when
he desires a rest, in order to give them
practice as presiding officers Senator
Pugh of Alabama, had hardly taken the
chair yesterday, when page handed
him q note. 1t informed him that rs
soon as Senator Logan, who was then
speaking, sat down a complicated point
of order would be raised. He was. re-
quested to hold the chair against all
corners and decide in favor of his party.
The result of the communication was
appalling. The big, good-humored
Alabamian began to grow pale and
made covert motions to John Sherman
in the hope that he would relieve him.
1t Is impossible to imagine that Mr..
Sherman was in the plot, but it was
some time before the anxious chairman
could catch his eye. He came to the
rescue, and the three jokers adjourned
to the cloak-room to roll on the floor.
