Whenever you can find manu-
facturer of carpeting that has a
private trade mark woven i'll combi-
nation of its yarns, you can make
up your mind its quality is up to
perfection. A point on buying a

Ask to see the pin-stripes of dark
colored yarn on the back of the
Roxbury or the different colored
threads on the back of Stinson Bros.
and Kurbaum, or the figured strip

with both sides just alike. After
you have had those marks shown

Nearly twenty years ago my first interest
In the cat was excited one day in early youth
when out hunting. A lady at the farm
where ] stopped for dinner requested me to
shoot her cat, which was getting old and USE
less to the family. With the thoughtlessness
OF youth consented and asked boy In the
yard to scare the animal that it might run
and have a show for life. The scared animal
dashed off madly for the field, and when run
ming at right angles to my gun fired. 1t
stopped instantly, turned and faced me with
. look Of anguish and reproach and fell dead.
That single glance has never been blotted
from my memory and never viii be. From
that day have been in irresistible sympathy
with the eat, have never lost an opportunity

A FEW SIMPLE RULES.

'The knowledge Of a few plain, sim
pie rules about eye glasses would save Q
world of trouble to the uninitiated. al
ways buy spectacles in preference to eye
glasses. They are not only more com.
Portable, but their use avoids the often
unnatural presence of common frames
upon the muscles of the nose. Never
wear rimless glasses, but use them with
frames, the reason being that the sight
of the eyes is not injured by the refrac-
ton of the rays Of light on the edges.
Use pebbles in preference to glass, be.
cause pebbles are ten degrees cooler.
Never buy cheap glasses until your eyes
have first been examined, because very
much depends upon the condition of the
body when person comes in to buy.
sit requires from twenty minutes to
three-quarters of an hour to enable the
oculist to properly test a persons eyes
in order to get the right kind of glass to
suit him. Dozens of persons come to
me oyerheated and iaboring under some
degree Of excitement. Their eyes are
naturally affected by this condition, and
they need to cool Off and become com.
posed before / can attend to them. The
graduation in the number of the glass
under these circumstances will vary
from one-half to a whole number in the
strength of the glass. Never buy of
peddlers, because they have not the ia
ciiities to suit you.
.'Affectation is one of the most prolific
sources of defective vision. Young peo-
pie want to wear glasses because they
look stylish, when in reality there is
nothing the matter with them. In such
cases simply tell them 80, but when
they insist, piece of clear, common
glass is the best, even though that is un.
advisable. New York News.

600, 900 year; but this is only q

What Has He to Be Thankful
For:

Mr.. benjamin Harrison did
we'll to issue his Thanksgiving
proclamation be fore the election
of Tuesday list. If he had de-
layed it for q week, perhaps he
would not have felt like publish
ing it at all.
" hat las he to be thankful
for?
Docs he rejoice over The ami
hilation Of his man Malone in
Virginia?
Does he feel thankful for the
downfall Of his friend Foraker in
OHIO?
Does it make him grateful 70
the Almighty to know that Sena.
tor Payne's successor will be a
Democrat?
Does lie see anything to make
him chant a gladstone hymn in
the grand oycrturn in Iowa?
Does the Democratic triumph
in New York make him wish to
give thanks to God or man?
Does the Democratic victory in
New Jersey arouse sweet emotions
in his breast?
Does the reduced Republican
majority in Massachusetts, make
the Thanksgiving season to him q
sweet and holy time?
What is there, anywhere, we
should like to know, to make this
gentleman thankful?
Even the Presbyterian doctrine
Of predestinatlon is liable to lose
Its power over the presidential
souls in time like this.
Sack cloth and ashes would
seem to be the fitting habiliments
of q party leader who leads his
party up to such results as those
Of Tuesday last.
Benjamin Harrison will do well
to devote the National holiday
to silent prayer and self-examlna-
ton.
That is what he needs, and
what will do him good.-Natlonal
