HOW TO SELECT CARPETS.

While it is not essential that the
carpet should match the furniture and
curtains, there should be no violent
contrasts. Nor should it be so bril-
liant as to produce an unfavorable
effect on the furniture. If furniture
is all of n color, say crimson, a a r
pet of white and crimson, or wood
color and crimson, will look. Simple
colors and patterns in a carpet are
preferable to the brilliant and snowy.
Very dark carpets are undesirable
from the fact that every speck of
thread that falls upon them shows.
Tapestry Brussels carpets, now in
vogue, are not always desirable, as
the colors are apt to veal off. A red
Brussels is dyed in the wool, while a
tapestry Brussels has the pattern
stained in after weaving, and although
when new it looks well, it does not
wear. Of the semi-neutrals maroon
is the best adapted for a carpet.
Either much white or much black is
an error Woman.

GIRLS FIRST.

The best husbands I ever met came
out of family where the mother, a
most heroic and self-denying woman,
laid down the absolute law, "Girls
First" Not in any authority, but
first to be thought of as to protection
and tenderness. Consequently, the
chivalrous care which these lads were
taught to show to their own sisters
naturally extended itself to all women.
They grew up true gentlemen-gen-
tlemen, generous, unexacting, cour-
teous of speech and kind of heart. In
them was the protecting strength of
manhood, which scorns to use its
strength except for protection; the
proud honesty of manhood, which in
initely prefers being lovingly and
openly resisted to being "twisted
round ones finger" as mean men are
twisted, and mean women will always
be found ready to do it, but which, l
think, all honest men and brave wo-
men would not merely dislike, but
utterly despise.-Amthor Of John Hail.

THE DREAMS OF THE BLIND

A statistician who has been study
ing the phenomena of dreaming finds
that the blind are on the whole, less
liable to dream than the seeing; and
the observation tends to support the
view, generally accepted, that dreams
are most largely the product Of i'm
pressions forced on the brain from
without. Of course it is not meant
by this that the stimulus which pro-
vokes a dream is commonly conveyed
through the ems of vision, but rather
that the imaginative faculty, which
becomes abormally active in dreams,
necessarily implies, for the vividness
of it's creative efforts, a certain famil-
iarity with form, color, and other
objective qualities, which is to most
blind persons an impossibility. Other
senses than that of vision remain, it is
true, with the blind and are exag-
gerated, but these afford less informa-
ton for the creative faculty, and are
consequently less liable to become the
paths of dream stimuli Chicago

BULLYING THE WITNESSES.

The Sunday Press in speaking on
this subject very p%ertinently remarks:
"Judge Craig Biddle made a ruling
when presiding in Quarter Sessions a
few days ago which, if it could be
made the law of the land and the
universal. rule Of courts, would entitle
his Honor to a public monument at
the hands of a grateful people. The
ruling was a very simple one, but
worthy, nevertheless, of all common
dalton. 1t consisted of a quiet but
firm admonition to a brow. beating
Quarter Sessions lawyer that the Court
would not permit witnesses to be
treated like rufians.
cit is quite time that some Judge,
or some court, had come to the rescue
of that innocent third party, the un-
fortunate on the witness stand. The
chief stock in trade of many lawyers
of considerable reputation consists in
their ability to abuse, confuse and in
timidate the witnesses for the other
side. The prisoner at the bar is in
danger of fine or Imprisonment, or it
may be even execution, but he is at
least certain of a full hearing, as com
plete a defense as the case admits, and
an impartial judgment. But the wit
ness whose character is aspersed,
whose veracity is impugned, whose
statements are twisted out of their in
tended and obvious Needing, and who
is publicly covered with obloquy and
ridicule, is, as a rule, entirely helpless.
Where loud-mouthed, constituencies,
bullying lawyers have free license, as
they usually do have, the consequence
of having committed a crime is often
less humlliating and disastrous to the
offender than that of having wit
messed it.
"The license accorded to LAWYERS
in ~assailing and insulting witnesses is
and long has been a gross abuse. We
know not by what warrant lawyers
are permitted to assume that the wit
nesses for the other side are perjured
conspirators and it is their duty and
privilege to prove that fact by an
ingenious system of verbal torture. It
is gratifying to know that in Judge
Biddle's court witnesses may not be
treated as if they were rufians. Per
haps the time will come when it will
be recognized as incumbent on every
court to see that those who obey it's
summons to appear and testify to the
facts within their knowledge relevant
to the issue on trial shall be treated
with the courtesy and consideration
due to gentlemen who are trying to
perform in good faith an important
public duty"

WHAT TO TALK ABOUT.

A lady presiding at her own table
has long been known to make her
cooking, her methods, success or ex-
periments with one and another in
gredient, the pivot on which she bal
anced almost the entire conversation
of the meal. To follow such a course
is to cultivate a profigate habit of
conversation and to foster criticisms
that might be better bestowed. Food
finds its ultimatum of use in minister
ing to physical needs and is out of it's
sphere when made a leading topic of
frequent table talk.
Every day table talk can be guided
as the members of the family may
elect, into profit, frivolousness, or loss.
Many a boy and girl receives golden
nuggets of information and insight
into the current affairs of the day
from entertaining conversations which
parents lead during the meal hours.
A company of busy people, once
boarding together, and having little
time for reading or study, undertook
a light method of turning to profit the
three times daily that they met round
the dining table. They chose to greet
one another at breakfast each with a
Scripture text or other selection of a
thoughtful character; at noon each
brought some item from the business
world, a current event, scientific fact,
literary or art note of some observa-
ton of his own; and at the tea table,
anecdotes, funny happenings of the
day, stray witty sayings and all enliv-
ening talk were in order. The plan
quite effectually secured it's most de-
sired end, which was, the prevention
of "shop talk" that most firing theme
among those already wearied with
their work.-Good Housekeeping.

HINTS TO HOUSEKEEPERS.

Keep cheese in a tight tin box.
A bag of dry, hot hops on the chest is
excellent in relieving Group.
Preserves and jellies should be kept in
a glass of stone or in self-sealed jars.
Fruit stains are removed by bleaching
on the grass when apple trees are in
blossom.
A tablespoonful of t%urpentine boiled
with your white clothes will aid the
whitening process. --1.
When stung by a bee or a wasp, make
a paste of common earth and water, put
on the place at once and cover with a
cloth.
Applying kerosene with a rag when
you are about to put your stoves away
for the summer Will prevent them from
rusting.
For a cold-Squeeze part of the juice
OF a lemon into a teacup, and pour hot
water over it. Sweeten if you like, and
drink hot. 1t will often save a doctors
bill.
To set delicate colors in embroidered
handkerchiefs, soak them ten minutes
previous to washing in a pail of tepid
water, in which a des~sertspoonful of tur-
pentine has been we'll stirred.
Where weeds persist in springing up as
fast as they are cut off, kerosene oil may
be used to advantage. If a small guam
tity be poured o n the plants after being
cut down the effect will be to destroy
them.
Old Innings should be washed, ironed,
and kept in a receptacle devoted to such
things. 1t is seldom these can be utilized
in a good dress, but sometimes come in
course for children's garments or for
everyday cotton gowns.
Carrots and celery cooked in cream
make a very nice dish. The carrots should
be cut in thin slices and boiled in sailed
water, the celery in inch lengths and then
scalded. Add the milk thickened with
cornstarch while boiling.
A wash which will move the sun
burn acquired by outdoor sports is made
by adding to twelve ounces of elder
flower water six drains of common soda
and six drains of powdered borax. APP
piled to the skin, it will make it as clear
and soft as a baby's.
Put dishes, tumblers and other glass
articles into a kettle; cover them entirely
with cold water, and put the kettle where
it will soon boil. When it has boiled a
few minutes, set it aside, covered close.
When the water is cold, take out the
glass. This process will harden the ar
ticles so that thew will not he so eaSilv
broken.
To expel mosquitoes, take of gum
camphor a piece about one-third the size
of a hens egg, and evaporate it by placing
it in d tin vessel and holding it over a
lamp, taking care that it does not ignite.
The smoke will soon fill the room and
expel the mosquitoes, and not M will be
found in the room next morning, even
though the windows should be left open
at night.

Many persons not fond of rabbit
have eaten them when cooked this

and cut open through the front; lay
them in a dripping pan, season with
salt, pepper, flour and butter. Pour
over just enough hot water to keep
them from burning. Bake in the

cooks away, more must be added.
When done, make gravy in a pan just

MOTHER LOVE.

No love like the love of a mother
When trials are gathering fast
Though fond is the care of a brother,
. Sometimes it will fall at last. o
Should you turn from the pathway of duty,
A sisters affection may fade;
But mother-love shows its best beauty
When her child to sin is betrayed.
A father may speak stern and coldly
If his son has wandered astray;
But mother will stand forward boldly
And help him regain the lost way,
And speak to him kindly, in warning,
With just as tender a tone
AS she did in childhood's pure morning,
Ere sorrow and crime he had known.
All, no ! there's no love like a mothers
So noble, forgiving and true
We may trust to many anOther's
And value it, that it is new,
To find, when life's sun is shrouded,
And your pathway enters the gloom,
Their love for us, too, will be clouded,
While hers follows us to the tomb.

DiviainG Turkey.

Stirring news is said TO have been
received from the British embassy at
Berlin. 1t is in effect that at the in
tsrview which Is expected to take
place between the Emperor of Ger
many and the Czar Of Russia, prop
osition to divide tho Turkish Empire
between Russia and Austria will be
discussed. The Gar is said to have
conceived that method Of settling the
Eastern question, and il it meets the
approval OF Austria it will probably
he contaminated, Germany's interest
in the matter being untrammeled lib
crty, so far as Russia and Austria are
concerned, to settle all disagreements
with France.
Russia, Prussia and Austria devils
ed scheme, similar to that proposed
in tho case of Turkey, to dismember
Poland a century ago, and carried it
into effect, each taking a part OF the
ancient kingdom. 1t was followed
by rebellions until the spirit Of thu
Poles was crushed, and the name OF
their kingdom blotted from the map
OF Europe. The task of dismember-
ing Turkey, many OF whose inhabi-
tants are OF . different race and re.
ligion from the Ottoman, would be
less difficult than in the case of Po-
land, and though England might OBJ
jeot, the three Emperors would not
be deferred from carrying out the
project, IL they once agreed to do SO,
on that account. Turkey has been
"the sick man OF Europe" for many
years, and has been kept in existence
only by the careful nursing of the
Western powers, especially England
and France. Constsntinople has been
the goal of Russian ambition for a
century, and IL Germany and Austria
give assent to the proposition TO dis
member the empire OF which it is the
capital, the Turk will DO driven from
Europe within year as effectually AS
the Moors we're from Spain.
