Are you interested IN Car :
pets this SPRING.
Have you bought a house
or are you going to move1-
in either case you are likely to
need new carpets, and you
will be wise to make your Sc
lection early. Our large car
pet rooms present many ad-
vantages to buyers not to be
found elsewhere plenty of
light, plenty of stock, plenty of
people to wait on you, and the
prices of carpets were never
lower. OF course your object
is to get suited, and it is of
the utmost Importance to go
to that store which can serve
you best. You need to look
around-compare prices, quail
tiles, patterns, assortments,
hear what they all have to say,
then make up your own mind
and buy what you want-but
look around first.
If you want a Parlor Carpet
you ought to look at the new
Administer Moquettes, the
most effective, durable and
luxurious parlor carpet made.
'Soff and thick, combining ex.
quisite designs with extreme
delicacy of coloring and under
tracery' work, the Moquette
easily steps to the front as the
prince of parlor carpets. For
years we have been the only
house that shows a complete
line of these elegant goods.
Therefore you should see ours.
We have sold thousands Of
yards without a complaint,
which is proof positive of
their durability and popularity.
Do not be mislead by hear
ing Moquettes will not wear
because they sweep off. The
fuzz or loose wool will, more
or less, sweep off of any new
carpet, but more especially
from Moquette because of its
thickness. We guarantee any
Moquette Carpet we sell, yet
some vulpine dealers delight
in fairy tales and tell you
"they quit keeping them"
"don't give satisfaction"
"look like a cat had licked
them"-"pull out at seems,
etc." but presto-ask such to
tell you how much above other
carpets at the same retail
price they cost him and how
many he has in stock-apply
the deduction and you con.
clude there's tricks in all
trades but ours. And it come:
natural for a fellow to rur
down what he hasn't. Conse

miles Of wire would not be half enough fog
the requirements of such business as the
government proposed TO establish The
postmaster generals scheme meant 10 break
down all the existing telegraph lines, and to
place them Ia the hands Of the government.
That was what he was before the committees
10 protest against. This talk about a linz
tied postal telegraph service was gil ''moon-

The Coat of naee9agew In England.
DR. Green then discussed the differences
between the cost Of messages Ia England
and their cost In this country. He con-
sidered IL foolish to think Of sending mes-
sages In this country cheaper than they could
be- sent in England. DR.. Green Illustrated
somo OF his statements by means OF q man.
To establish single circuit under the pro-
posed bill IL would take 81, 9zS rniles Of wire.

This is but a link of our great enterprise

braces a railroad through Canada, with
a terminus in Nova Scotia, and also q
connection with New York city. It Is
proposed to build Atlantic steamers Of
not less than 10000 tons, and by utiliz-
ing the land and sea route New York
will be brought within ~ days of Eng

will likewise be put on Lakes Huron and
