The annual sale of Corsets in the
United States is about $l0,000,00O,
of which two millions are imported,
and eight millions are manufactured
in this country. The largest manufact-
urers of the world are Warner Brothers
whose factory is located at Bridge.
port, Conn, with salesrooms at New
York and Chicago. The business Of
this firm has been built up entirely
within the past ten years, and is due
largely to the discovery by them Of
a stiffener for corsets, called Coraline
which they use in place of the rigid
and brittle whale bone heretofore
employed. The cloth which this
firm cut into corsets in single year,
if drawn out in single line, would
more than reach from Boston to Chi
cago. while the Coraline which they
use in stiffening these corsets would
extend over half way around the
earth.

made into paste by boiling water.
This was put on hot and left to dry,
being brushed off the day following,
when the spots were no longer to be
seen. Other dirty places were gone
over with ox,gall nearly pure After
this the carpet was thoroughly wash
ed as follows: A pail of hard soap
and water was prepared, the soap
being well dissolved by boiling. With
good brush "a new one) dip in the
preparation "a small portion of the
carpet was secured at a time, care
being taken not to let it soak through.
Next flannel was rubbed we'll over
the same spot, rinsed out each time
in pail of clear cold water. A
third application was then made from
pail Of water just soured by vine
gar, and the carpet finally rubbed
hard with a coarse cloth. Two peo-
pie working at a carpet in this way
can manage to dry it very evenly,
and we would recommend their keep
ing strictly to their work until finish
ed. 4 carpet Of course can be clean
ed advantageously by taking up and
laying it in bread hs on boards or on
a large kitchen table. Two and a
half gills of ox-gall to a pail of clear
cold water, applied with q soft scrub
bing brush, makes an excellent lather
for cleaning carpet, but it should
be quickly washed off with a clean
old linen cloth dipped in clear water,
and rubbed with dry cloth.
Mattings can be cleaned by wash
ing thoroughly in a solution consist
ing of one gallon of water with a
small bag of bran boiled in it, but
be careful to dry thoroughly. Soap
should never be applied to oil.cloths,
nor if it be desired to keep the color
should scrubbing- brush be used.
Wash the oil-cloth with o coarse
sponge or a flannel dipped in tepid
or clean cold water. Bees-wax with
a very little turpentine, makes fine
polish, and will revive the colors of
an oil-cloth admirably.
Almost every housekeeper knows
how to clean boards, but too much
care cannot be given to those from
which you have just taken up your
carpets. Soda and warm water is an
excellent wash for boards which are
seen, rubbed over we'll with clean
cloths; and mixture Of two parts
sand, one and half lime, and the
same of soft-soap, will not only be
found good receipt for securing
boards, but very effective in keeping
away insects.

Carpet Cleaning.
From Harper's Bazaar.

From Harper's Bazaar.
Not long since, a visitor to large
public institution commented on the
remarkable cleanliness and bright
ness of the carpets throughout the
building, and to her surprise was in
formed that they were not swept six
times a year! Moreover as their ex-
~cellent condition testified, they had
stood the wear and tear eff seven
years use admirably, proving the
methods employed by the house
keeper successful. Some of these
having been practically tested, we
can give them with that assurance
to our readers, prefacing them, how
ever, By an injunction to follow any
receipts given with careful exacti-
tude. 10 begin with: before clean
ing room remove the large articles
of furniture, and then dust every
thing as though the room had been
thoroughly swept, if possible keeping
the carpet covered with sheeting, or
some coarse material reserved for
the purpose. Now then. have ready
a pail or clear water in which is di
luted one gill Of common ammonia,
and with large soft cloth wet in the
liquid 60 over the entire surface of
the carpet. 1t sometimes happens
that in the course of the cleansing a
fresh pail of water and ammonia is
needed; but not always. Every par
ticle of dust will thus be removed,
and no injury done the pile or nap
of the carpet, as must be the case if
swept, however carefully. If you
prefer to sweep your carpet once a
month scatter Indian meal over the
surface working it in lightly with
the broom before sweeping. This IS
even better than tea leaves, which so
many house.keepers use.
To clean carpet is laborious
but really simple process, and we
haye recently seen some cleansed
and''revived" by the following meth

DOZENS OF SKELETONS.

Ghostly Discovery Near the Old Priory
Church in Leominster, Eng.
In the small town of Leominster. in
Herefordshire, England, the old Priory
Church has been undergoinga thorough
process of restoration. in the course of
which it has been found necessary to
lower the path leading to the southern
porch, as the floor of the church lies
some three feet below the level of the
surrounding church-yard. In the
course of excavations number of skel-
etons have been turned up in state of
more or less perfect preservation. The
remains thus exhumed were sufficient
to fill two carts, and were all found
within two feet of the surface. The re-
markable thing about them, however,
is that they were all found lying face
downward. and were full-sized skeletons.
One reason ascribed for this peculiar
phenomenon is that at one time the im-
mediate ncighborhood of the church
was the scene of great riot, aud the
bodies of the slain on that OCCASION
were dragged there and buried. Dur
ing the dispute between Charles |. and
his Parliament the town was taken from
the Royalists by Colonel Birch, and
held by him for the Parliament, and q
large mound near to where the remains
we're found is said to have been thrown
up at that time to protect the road
which runs through Leominster to
shrewsbury. There is large hollow
near at hand whence the earth forming
the mound is said to have been carted.
But this does not explain the reason
why all these bodies are buried face
downwards. London Standard.

The other day party of seven
Piutes asked the telegraph replirer
for the loan of an extra push car
to ride to the Hot Springs. They
were accommodated, but before
starting he managed to insert a
small wedge into the break which
efiectually prevented its working.
The Indians piled on, and giving ii
a running start, they were OF in an
instant. The descent from the biz
trestle is very steep and continues
for about a mile and u half then
lets up on reaching the valley, but
still there remains quite a down
grade to the springs. In about 80
seconds from the start they were
covering intervening space at the
rate ola mile minute. The repairer
hastily gathering his tools, jumped
aboard his car and lit out after
them as fast as he dared let her go.
After rounding the curves and get
ting on a straight stretch to the
springs he saw dark object rapidly
disappearing in the distance, fol-
lowed by what appeared to be a
flock of crows and buzzards, Then
in flash the object vanished. A
mile or two further on he saw q
hat here and hat there then a
half dozen blankets or so, till he
came to a car converted into kind

stump, while scattered over an acre
Of loose sand was the most dilapi-

noses, skinned faces, eyes full of

Gold and Silver in Nevada.

Eastern goldbugs seem to owe
Nevada a grudge on account Of her
silver product. They would close
the Mint at Carson to check the
coinage of the metal. They are
apparently ignorant of the fact that
some of the Comstock bullion now
yields as high as IS per cent. OF
gold, and that the total product Of
the State is about equally divided
between gold AMI silver. Tney
never seem to realize tbs fact that
