While it is not essential that the carpet

there should be no violent contrasts, nor
should it be so brilliant as to produce an
unfavorable effect on the furniture. II the

pie colors and patterns in a carpet are

pleasing. The carpet was deep Grim

A LUCKY ACTRESS.
Miss Haven Receives a Legacy of
Half a Million.

Miss Sidney Haven is perhaps the
happiest woman in Denver to-day. Miss
Sidney was notified yesterday by her at
torney in New York City that her grand
mother had just died and had remem-
bered her in her will to the amount of
S5OO,0OO. The notification was accom-
panied for draft of q goOdIy amount so
that the young lady is satisfied of the
genuineness of the report, Miss Haven
is an actress, and was for a number of
years connected with the Biiou Opera
House and Madison Square Theatre in
New York City. Her voice failed her,
and she had to come West in search of
health, which happily has been fully re-
stored, and she is so we'll pleased with
Denver that she intends to make it her
home.
Miss Ravens life has been somewhat
checkered. When quite young she was
married to a New York oil merchant
named Frank Hartman, with whom she
lived happily until he died, several years
after they were married. Her grand
mother, Mrs. Harlan, relict of John Har-
Ian, of the firm of Hollingsworth & Har-
Ian, ship and car builders, Wilmington,
Del, took quite fancy to Miss Sidney,
and told her if she would break off a
match with young actor whom the old
lady did not like, she would make her
her heiress. To Miss Ravens credit be
it said that she had no idea Of doing any
thing of the kind to please her grand
mamma, but being forced to come West,
she and lover drifted apart. She was
never infatuated with him, but as he was
a gentlemanly fellow and she lonely
widow, they found consolation in each
others company, but grandma thought
Sidney had acted in dutiful manner,
and remembered her as she said she
would, although there were thirteen other
grandchildren.
Before receiving news of her good for
tune, Miss Haven had signed contract
to appear upon the stage for time, and
she will fulfill her contract.

| ect one of small size. A small mill may
do what is wanted of it in high wind,
but with light breeze it would be use
Iess, while larger size would do the de-
sired work. Small windmills, small
churns and small stoves are often the
dearest, though costing less money than
large sizes.
Feed all the egg shells with the other
table and kitchen scraps, and when the
mems exhibit more desire for them than
or the other scraps accept this as Ger
tam evidence that the shell food IS de-
cient either in quantity or quality. The
theory that feeding the shells is injurious
or leads to vicious habits is false. They
are the best quality of shell food so far
as they go, but it requires great many
OF them to supply the necessities OF the
flock, and they should be supplemented
with something else till all craving for
that special kind of food is satisfied.
In butter, says the Ploughman, there
is one great essential thing to be consld-
cred always, and that is, perfect cleapll-
ness. The cows must be clean, their
home wholesome and the hands of the
mixers perfectly clean, and from the
moment 1t leaves the COW uutilit is con-
sumed as butter, it should be carefully
kept apart from anything that could con-
tamlnate 1t, including the smoke from
The ''goodman's pipe" If the COW gives
anything like good milk, if this is care
fully observed, the butter will sell well,
and there will be demand in excess of
the supply. The churning should be
performed regularly, and at perfectly
even temperature. The butter should
not be worked with the hands, and in no
way subject to contamination.
Cutting tree down is quick and in
expensive way of disposing oft, says the
CWttdoator. Of course the stump is left,
but if sprouts are burned off next July
or August, it will not sprout again to do
any hurt, and will in time rot out. Who
ever tries grubbing out trees as means
of clearing land viii ttiT3 of it. There
are places where it will pay to remove a
few and have valuable land at once
available for other uses. But ordinary
farm crops will not pay the expense. 1t
is a poor little tree that does not require
three feet sqEare to be grubbed over to
get it out by the root. This is just one
square yard. It it could be done for three
cents it would make the land thus OBJ
tanned cost 5000 per acre. Some calcu-
latlon of this kind is apt to come over
man when he has been working whole
day to grub out Il tree. The next one he
tackles will be cut down in the old
fashioned way, and leave time to do the
grubbing.

The Cow.

s'Does your COW cringe and curl, asks
the New England Farmer, "and appear
nervous and tidgety when you sit down
to milk her?" Well, not much she
doesn't2 She isn't that kind of COW.
She isn't one of your shy, timid, bashful
COWS. She just fixes her eyes on vacan-
cy with a glare that will raise blister
on an oak knot. sticks her tail straight up
in the air, stiff as poker, plants three
feet firmly on the ground, and then feels
around with the other for the milk-pail,
milk-stool, milk maid; finds them; fires
them up somewhere into the blue empy-
rean, and remarking ''Ha, hal" amid the
shouting jumps over a six-rail fence and
tramples down an acre of young garden.

Philanthropist and Beggar.

W. w. Corcoran's benevolence sub
jected him to all kinds of impudent
begging letters. There was one which
he received with his large mail one
morning, which made him laugh, and
he showed it. The writer said she was
a young girl who had never had silk
dress, and that she had heard of his
kindness and generosity, and she would
be so happy if he would send her blue
silk dress. He had it bought and sent.
Although he felt the impudence of the
request, yet he could not resist the
pleasure of imagining the girls delight
in owning and wearing a blue silk
dress.

Honey,

Children would rather eat bread and
honey than bread and butter. One pound
of honey will go as far as two pounds OF
butter, and also has the advantage OF
being far more healthy and pleasant
tasted, and always remains good, while
butter soon becomes rancid and often
produces cramp in the stomach, eructa-
lions, sourness and diarrh9a. Pure honey
should always be freely used in every
family. Honey eaten upon wheat bread
is very beneficial TO health. The use of
honey instead of sugar in almost every
kind of cooking is pleasant for the palate
as it is healthy for the stomach. In pre-
pairing blackberry, raspberry or straw
berry shortcake, it is infinitely superior.
1t is a common expression that honey
is a hurry, having nothing to do with
the life giving principle. This is an
error; honey is food in one of its most
concentrated forms. True it does not
add SO much to the growth of muscle as
does beefsteak, but it does impart other
properties no less necessary to health and
vigorous physical and intellectual
action. 1t gives warmth to the system,
arouses nervous energy and gives vigor
to all the vital functions. To the laborer
its gives strength, to the business man
mental force. Its effects are not like
ordinary stimulauts, such as spirits, etc,
but produce healthy action, the results
of which are pleasing and permanent-a
sweet disposition aud bright intellect.
