Zone of the most essential points in
furnishing remarked careful house

carpets carpets that will wear well
and that will not soon 60 out of style.
This, OF course, Is on the supposition
that you 10 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
eolors neither extremely light nor
dark and 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, II your means
are moderate, you can then buy your
furniture slowly, adding to 1t carefully,
redressing and covering old furniture,
this economizing as much as you
please
Tapestries and ingrains seem to be the
best carpets for people Of moderate
means; and nov that all grades of them
are SO beautiful in design and colorings,
the h0usekeeper 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
brocada, and the flowers are quite as apt
to be oYershot as woven into the goods.
Old rose and pink tints are much used

its beauty.

As for a sxiafkenerv- that

satisfaction for some people in using it.
But no one should trifle with any prepa-
ration of the SOFT unless they know its
ingredients and have been assured by
physician or chemist that it contains
nothing injurious. An eminent lady
physician was wont to advise her
patients who would cover up the finger
marks Of age to use the following to re-
store the color of the hair turning gray:
Rust Of iron, dram; strong old ale, /
pint; oil Of rosemary, II drops. Put the
mixture In bottle, cork II loosely,
shake 1t daily for ten or twelve days;
then, after the mixture has settled, turn
Oft the clear portion for use. Another
prescription Of hers for the purpose was
as follows: Powdered sulphate Of iron, l
dram; rectifled spirit, ounce; oil of
rosemary, 10 drops; pure rain water, u
pint. Shake until mixture is complete.
While using either of these it would, of
course, be necessary to keep the hair
clean. Probably they would serve the
purpose and stay for time, at least, the
natural changes. Certainly these
