Hughes and four children, Ed
Boso, Mrs. Isaac Roberts, Mrs. Orr
Vile West and two children, John
Baily, Roy Kiger, Mrs. Roy Kiger, Mrs
Isaac Tucker, and q man whose name
can not be ascertained. The damage to
property can not be estimated at present.
Hundreds Of people lost all they possess
cd and manyofamilies are homeless. A
late dispatch says the village Of
Morristown, Writ County, was swept
entirely away. Great suffering ex.
lists among those who lost all they pos
sessed, and the county comm lssioners Of
Wood County will issue an appeal for
aid. The cloud burst on Limestone
Mountain, Wood County, where the five
creeks that were flooded have COM
mon source, and from where they take
their course In as many different direc-
Nons. The damage to crops was inesti-
mable and the farmers will be depend
ent upon charity until next season.

How to Select Wisely for Style, Qualit
and Price.

How to Select Wisely for Style, Quality
and Price.
'One of the most essential points in
furnishing" remarked careful house
keeper, sis to see that you get good
carpets--carpets that will wear well
and that will not soon go out of style.
This, of course, is on the superstition
that you do not propose to change your
carpets with every slight change of
fashion, but may desire to practice a
perfectly comfortable economy. Good
wearing quality and good taste do not
necessarily mean that the carpet must
be expensive. In choosing, subdued
colors-neither extremely light nor
Oakland small patterns are best in the
long run. Then come the curtains,
which are very important, because you
have to think not only of interior, but
also of exterior effects. When curtains
and carpets are bought, If your means
are moderate, you can then buy your
furniture slowly, adding to it carefully,
redressing and covering old furniture,
thus economizing as much as you
please"
Tapestries and ingrains seem to be the
best carpets for people of moderate
means; and now that all grades of them
ore so beautiful in design and colorings,
The housekeeper of refined taste, though
not wealthy, can easily crafty them in
this direction.
Among curtains, especially among the
richer fabrics, there is great deal of
brocade, and the flowers are quite as apt
to be overshot as woven into the goods.
Old rose and pink tints are much used
this season, and they combine finely
with grays and browns. In colors there
is nothing better for wear and good
general effect than Madras. 1t comes
forth this season as popular as ever, and
some new grades have been added. One
handsome Madras set was silk striped,
with dash OF tinsel. 1t was very
heavily fringed, which added much to
its beauty.
Muslin curtains are becoming moro
and more popular. Irish point excel,
too, as they have rich appearance
even when not costly. Among white
curtains Irish point and Nottingham
lace are the most satisfactory, unless Que
pays very high price.-N. Y. Star.

II falls within the gift of hand to trace.
I have no power to sing to thee the sweet
