Lii CARE OF MATTING..-In sweeI-
ing tho pretty and economical straw
mating that is growing to be very Q D
ular with ~housekeepers during warm
weather, DO not use q broom, for it Will
tear tho strands in a short tine. A
long handled bristle brush, such as is
used for oilcloth, Is the nlcest and Will
remove the dust best, for the soft bris-
Ties can go into crevices that q broom
would miss. Always, when possible,
brush the mating the l%engthwise way
OF the grain, and the Strands or straw
will not tear and break as quickly as
though brushed across, Some persons
clean mating by s~prinkllng bran or
coarse Indian meal over 1t, then with a
long handled mop, with cloth wrrng
out OF clean, warm water, rubbing the
grain well all over the carpet, then leav-
ing It until dry, when the grain is
brushed OIL. This is claimed To be d
thorough way Of cleansing mating, but
1t is usual to simply vii Q it. off with q
damp cloth wrung out Of salt and water
not wetting the mating much.
For winter use, if o heavy layer or
carpet lining Is put under it, mating is :
Il comfortable floor covering. With
pretty rugs scattered over it, the room
has o pleasant, home-like appearance
that is very attractive. 1t Is cheap,and
if care Is taken when putting it down
that little cleavers. made especially for
the purpose, are used instead of the or
binary carpet tacks, it can be taken lip
at any time when cleaning house,
cleaned and put down again, in less
time and with less labor than a WOODEN
carpet, and it does not require to be
beaten, but may be washed while or
the floor the same as usual.

effect of o braided pig-tail pendent from

tibly ludicrous; and certainly if the

the first prize, rather than the ssbooby"

How OFTEN do we heal it said, MS
though there we're peculiar virtue in il,
eve will hope for the best!" And
there is virtue, heroism even, in it, if
by ''tho best we really mean The best.
No one ought to hope for anything but
the best. It is not ensy to SEQ why any
one should want to hope for anything
less than tho best. But the truth is,
that most persons do not hope for the
best 50 often as they suppose. They
hope for tho contamination of their
plans, the realization Of their desires,-
even when those plans and desires arc
really for tho worst. A thing is not
best because we. choose to name IL so.
Hope always for tho best; a Christian
cannot rightfully do otherwise. But do
not forget that only the best is the best
