Now that instruction in ciyics Is In

decent fair play in the Judgment Of the
character and services of public officials?
The standing abomination of our po-
litical press Is its vulgar, wicked habit
Of holding up political opponents to the
moral condemnation of every body, as
not only wrong in their political policy,
but unworthy Of personal respect. No
man in Washington to-day in high office
is exempt from this foul smirching OF
character and conduct by journals OF
great influence. widely read. and edited
by men who would resent a reflection OF
the same kind on themselves as deadly
personal insult. or course the well-in-
formed dismiss this wreiched twaddle
for what IL is worth, but the mischiaI
comes lower down. Every bright
American boy or girl reads the news
papers. and il is almost impossible to
mention the name of an eminent
statesman in company Of smart young
sters without hearing the epithets so
freely banded about in the newspapers
applied even in more positive way
than by their grown instructors. What
Is to be- hoped OF generation coming

contempt for public men and unbelief
in official honesty? II it be said that
there is much to justify this feeling, We
reply that tho present low tone OF public
life is largely the result OF this habit Of
indiscriminate abuse and uncharitable
Judgment. Thousands OF our most eapa-
ble men are kept out Of public life by
tho nnwillingness to face this fire Of

PRETTY HOMEMADE RUGS.
Mow Ingenious Ladies' Can Produce soma

To make rug, plenty OF persever-
ance Is needed, for 1t is large contract
to make one Of ordinary size; hut Ii is
very pretty work, and can be done with
ease by even those ladies whose eye
sight is failing. Purchase from some
carpet dealer supply of scraps of tap
estry and Brussels carpeting: pieces
that are too small to be worked up into
hassocks are quite large enough for this
purpose.
Cut these into strips of any length
their size allows, but let them be OF uni
form width, say three inches. Ravel
these out, rejecting the linen and col
lecting in hox the little crimped
worsted threads. Then provide Yourself
with a pair Of she largest sized steel
knitting needles and a ball of the
coarsest crochet cotton, either white
or colored. Set on ten stitches and
after knitting row or two, 20 make a
firm beginning. go on as IL you wera max
ing garter, but with every other stitch
lay thread OF the crimped wool across
the needles. Aftcr knitting the stitch
take the wool which shows upon the
wrong side, and turn il toward the right
side, knitting stitch above to secure
1t. Then put in another thread of wool
and repeat tho process. The back OF the
strips should be something the appear
ance of that OF body Brussels carpet,
while the front should be like sort OF
thick. long mapped plush.
The colors may be used without Sc
lection, making sort Of ''chene" effect;
or carpets may be chosen for rayelsng
which show only shades Of scarlet or
blue. or brown carpets may be used for
the center Of the rug, and border OF
scarlet or blue sewed ON all around.
After doing little Of this work, many
ideas a. 10 the arrangements OF colors,
will suggest themselves. and little
practice will enable tho knitter TO pro-
duce some very pleasing results
When the strips are all finished they
must be sewed together 1T the back. IL
Is only for convenience that they are
knitted in strips. The rug, as whole,
would be cumbersome and unwieldy to
handle. Brussels or velvet carpet hearth
rugs. are made with strip OF this knit
ting for the border, giving a very pretty
