Homemade Rug which Has the Charm

A Homemade Rug which Has the Charm
of the Oriental Productions.
Many of the homemade rugs are prefer.
able to the machinery made varieties, aud
the chief charm about these is the same
that make the oriental rugs so popular
the lack of machsnelike regularity and uni
formity. True art is diversity in uniform
ity. The fault OF most Of the homemade
rugs is that they are not woven tight
enough. and as result the fuzzy part has
to be left long. If this could be cut off as
short and even MS the Turkish rugs hand.
some productions would be made at small
expense, says The Decorator and Furnisher,
which gives the following directions for
doing this;
After the fashion of the eastern rug and
carpet makers. make stout framework of
wood about n foot larger than the rugs are
to be. Then string coarse fish line from
one end to the other, pulling them Just as
tight ms the strings will stand without
swapping. They should be placed ns close
together as possible. Separate every other
one and run stick between the rows.
Then tie in a double knot each piece of col
ored cord or rag of fancy material, cut in
strips Of about two inches or less, to the
upper row of fish line. Put each piece
ClOoS JOkebuSEs lutu remove JDe SUCK
and bring on top the other row Of fish
lines. Repeat this operation until the rug
is finished. Then tie the ends of the fish
lines together and conceal them from view
in the back. The rug should then be
sewed to some old piece Of carpet cut the
desired length. Cut the ends Of the brus-
sells of evenly all over and just as short as
possible. This will give the ruga firm,
compact look.
In the Interest of Music and Decoration.
The fashion of turning piano with its
back to the room is both in the interest of
musicians and also a decorative feature.
When thus used the back is of course
draped. The accompanying cut shows a
pretty arrangement for this purpose. For
the drapery plain Roman sheetiag may be
used, or silk mixture damask to match the
other hanginEs of the Eoom.

THE MARLBORO RACES.

There was some very excellent racing
vt Marlboro, in Stark county, on Satur-
day. The attendance was large. many be-

were close and exciting. II will be seen
that two horses, named Harry D., started.
One is owned at Massillon, and the other
by Ed. j. Meyer, of Canton. 1t will be
seen that DR.. Catlin won a good race with
his horse, Jack Logan this being his first

AFTERNOON SESSION..

Some OF the women who have been at
tending the Maxwell case since it COM
menced, must have missed their dinner
today, in order to get back to court in
time. They were there early, in fact long
before the judge, attorneys, jurors or re-
porters put in an appearance. The object
In getting there so early 10 to obtain front
seats. 1t is hard to soy just what interest
these women have in the case, but they
evidently for some reason desire 20 hear
every word that Is spoken.
This morning three women who have
been present every day had front seats.
This afternoon only two Of the three were
able to get the front seat. The two wo-
men thus honored are by no means hand
some. What they lack in good looks is
certainly made up In the interest mani
tested. Both of them lean forward In
their seats to catch every word. One is
rather tieshy woman, while the other 10

Is dressed in a black calico dress with
large flowers. She wears a black chip
straw hat, which has plenty of bright
flowers. The other woman has light
calico dress, black hat and red flowers.

Only One Chose to he a Farmer.

1t is interesting to note the choice
OF pursuits made by the 1876 students
who were graduated during the re-
cent commencement from the four
colleges of Maine. One has chosen
farming for an occupation; two each
have chosen chemistry and the
United States civil service, five
journalism, seven mercantile pur-
suits, twelve engineering, thirteen
the ministry, eighteen medicine,
nineteen the law, thirty-three teach
ing, while twenty-four are undecided.
The large proportion Of these gradu-
ates TO choose teaching and the small
proportion to choose business are
significant feature OF the showing. In
the large universities the drift is very
different. The fact that thirteen out
of 1876 choose the ministry proves
that the set" against the ministry is
not so strong I'm the small as in the
large colleges. At Yale, for expamle,
this commencement only eleven out
OF class Of 1877 chose the ministry.
The pulpit is largely recruited these
days from the small colleges.-New

ton Although premiums were offered
for its growth, after 1851, nearly the
whole attention of the planters was
given to tobaeco raising, which practi-
cally deferred the development of wheat
raising for more than a century.
In the early part of the nineteenth
century there arrived I'm Holland from
the colony on Manhattan Island fine sam
piles OF wheat, barley, oats, buck wheat,
canary seed, beans and fax. Wheat was
introduced into the Mississippi Valley
In 171s, but with the sudden changes OF
temperature and the hasty and improper
cultivation it only yielded seven or eight
fold. In 1746, 600 barrels of -four were
received in New Orleans from the Wa
bash, and Illinois raised three times the
quantity consumed by the State. Prior
to the Revolution but little was raised
In New York except near the Hudson.
New Jersey afterward became quite a

shire, whenever Siberian seed was used.

The publication of the statement
that the Germans are training dogs
for war recalls the fact that soldier
of Col. Bowen's regiment in the Con-
federate army had large dog which
invariably accompanied him on any
duty whatever and was as good as a
companion. The dog was as ardent a
rebel as his master, and somehow or
other seemed to have preternaturally
quick nose for blue coat. When the
man was on picket duty his dog was
always nosing about some distance in
the front, and il there were any Fed
erals within half mile he would find
them out and bark. He never ven-
tured to attack them, but, like cav
alryman, took to the rear when an
engagement was in progress, but
after the battle was over he would
reappear. The man was finally killed
while ON the picket line by going to a
spring after water in spite Of the
warnings of the dog, and the men OF
the regiment tried to keep the animal
but he went away. He had no esprit
de corps. His devotion was purely
personal to his master.--St. Louis

What do you think the beautiful
word 'wife" comes from? 1t is the
great word in which the English and
Latin languages conquered the French
and Greek. i hope the French will
some day get word for it instead of
that of femme. But what do you
think it came from? The great value
of the Saxon words is that they mean
something. Wife means weaver, I"
You must either be housewives or
house use-moths-remember that. In
the deep sense you must either weave
mems fortunes and enbroider them,
or feed upon and bring them to decay.
Wherever true wife comes, home is
always around her. The stars may
be over her head, the glowworm in
the nights cold grass be the fire at
her feet, but home is where she is,
and for a noble woman 1t stretches
far around her, better than houses
ceiled with cedar nr painted with
vermilion, shedding the quiet light
for those who else are homeless. This,
j believe, is the woman's true place
and power-Ruskin.

No sight is more satisfying 10 the far
mer, who has toiled early and late at
plowing, pulverizing and seeding, than
field OF rlpened wheat ready for the
sickle. His accustomed eye can foretell
almost to the bushel the prospective
yield, and he knows that with wheat, as
with men, the high, straight, stiff-neck-
ed heads with all their show OF bravado,

that the swaying, bent heads hold.
There Is no record OF the introduction
OF wheat into tho western hemisphere
before tho sixteenth century. Humboldt
writes that negro slave belonging to
Cortez first brought 1t accidentally in
rice into Mexicolfrom Spain. Humboldt
also saw at Quito an earthen vessel In
which monk was said to have
brought from Client the first wheat
