TAKING UP THE CARPETS.

Valuable Suggestions for the Housewife
Who Is About to Clean House.
System is more important than any
thing else in the cleaning of carpets.
Ingram carpets should be taken up
every year, if in u room much used If
Brussels carpets be properly swept it
will often suffice to take them up once
in three, four. or even five years. At
tend to only one room at a time, to
avoid getting the rest of the house dusty
or disorderly. Have two strong sheets
made of unbleached cotton Brush all
the furniture and remove it from the
room; brush the pictures and cover
them; take down all the draperies and
shades. Now remove the tacks with a
tacll-liftcr, putting them in cup Fold
the carpet leugthwise, and roll it up
and put it in one of the sheets, which
tie. put the Innings in the other sheet.
Take both sheets into the yard or some
field near by, and after spreading the
Innings, sweep them on both sides, pile
them up, and cover with the sheet.
Spread the carpet and beat with rat
tan or long switch. Sweep it, and then
turn it over and beat again. Let it lie
on the grass, wrong side up, until the
room is ready.
After sprinIling wet sand over the
floor, sweep, and take up the dirt. Now
sweep again; also brush all dirt from
the doors, windows and base boards.
Pin piece of Canton flannel on a
broom and brush the ceiling and walls,
Sweep the floor once more and wash
with hot water, wiping very dry. Next
wash the paint and windows. Lay the
Innings on The floor, putting small
tack here and there to keep them in
place. Put the carpet on the floor, un-
rolling it in the direction in which it is
to be laid. Begin to tack it at the end
of the room which is the most irregular.
If there be fireplace or bay window
in the room fit the carpet around these
places first. Use large taclls to hold
the carpet temporarily in place; they
can be withdrawn when the work is
finished. When the carpet is fitted to a
place, use small tacks TO keep it down
Tack one end of the carpet, stretching
IT we'll; then side, then the other end,
and finally the other side. Be careful
to keep the lines straight and to have
the carpet fit tightly, for if it be loose it
will not only look badly, but will not
wear well.
When the carpet is laid, pour little
naptha on any soiled places and rub
with a piece of flannel until the spots
disappear. Always have a window
open at such times to allow the gas to
escape. Put about six quarts of warm
water in pail and add four tablespoon
fuls of household ammonia. Wiring a
woolen cloth out of this and wipe the
carpet.-Maria Parloa, in Ladies' Home
! Journal.

SEAWEED IN CHINA.
Gathered by the Natives and Used as
Food.

Gathered by the Natives and Used as
Food.
About five hundred thousand pools of
sea wracS, valued at one rube and six
ty kopecks per pood, is exported from
Saghalin and neighboring Russia coasts
in Tartary to China every year The
weed is considered great delicacy in
China, and the largest market for it is
in Ching Foo. The best sorts are
shipped to Shanghai The gathering of
the weed begins early in March and
continues until late in the autumn,
when the sea gets too stormy for the
small craft employed in the trade. The
more northerly the spot from which the
wracll is fished the better is its quality.
The best weeds come from depth of
twenty-five feet or more below the sur
face of the water. AS broken leaves
are of no value, the wrack gatherers
are provided with long rales, which are
let down in the water and the wracl1
pulled gently up by the roots. The
roots are cut off and thrown into the
water, and the leaves are sent to the
shore, where they are carefully spread
out and dried in the sun. When the
weather is bad they are quickly covered
up, for moisture spoils them. In shall
low places the wraclI is cut from the
root with a knife in the form of long
scythe attached to pole. The wrack
gatherers are very careful to restore the
roots to the water as soon as they get
the weed, for the same roots will pro-
duce new crop of wracll in two years
The weed is of brownish green color
when over-ripe and bright green when
young. 1t is very long and thick, and
does not change in color or shape when
dried. The best wraclS is produce9
from March to July. The later crops
are of inferior value, The Chinese cut
the wracR in thin slices like noodiaS
and use it as a soup vegetable, boilad
with fish or meat.-N. Y. Sun.

A Hint for Young Mon.

Young man, do the other fellows
make fun of you, now and then, be-
cause you blush easily and are, as they
call it, little green? And are you half
inclined to be trihe mad that what
they say is true, and that you find it
difficult to get seasoned and tough as
they are? AS well might August be
ashamed that it preserved handful
of green in its parched bosom. or an ap-
Pile be chagrined that it harbored no
worm at it's core, or a drop of rain be
annoyed that it fell from heaven rather
than from the gutter. Never be ashamed
of being innocent and pure in world
where innocence and purity are too often
served as fresh fallen snow is served
that falls on travelled highway. BE
proud if you retain the ability to blush
and to shrink from a hard story; to
avoid the contamination of daredevil
vice, and to turn from the allurements
of so-called 'fast life" while others, no
older than Yourself have hardened in
the process of living as clay bakers in Il
too-fervid sun. If had a twenty-year-
old boy who was bashful, and simple,
and green" as the world goes, would
rather call him my son than be the

ODD DUTIES OF BRIDESMAIDS.
Once Had to Dress the Bride as Well as
Walk Before Her.


Instead of being so many graceful or
naments at the marriage ceremony, as
nowadays, the bridesmaids in olden
times had various duties assigned to
them. Thus one of their principal
tasks was dressing the bride on her
wedding morning, when any omission
in her toilet was laid to their charge.
At a wedding, too, where it was ar
ranged that the bride should be fol-
lowed by numerous train of her lady
friends, it was the first bridesmaids Is
duty to play the part of drill mis-.
tress, ''sizing" them, so that mo pair
in the procession were followed by a
taller couple" She was also expected
to see that each bridesmaid was not
only duly provided with sprig of rose
mary, or floral posy pinned to the
breastfolds of her dress, but had a sym
bolical chaplet in her hand.
In many parts of Germany it is still
customary for the bridesmaids to bring
the myrtle wreath, which they have
subscribed together to purchase, to the
house of the bride, and to remove it
from her head at the close of the we'd
ding day.
After this has been done the bride is
blindfolded, and the myrtle wreath
being put into her hand, she tries to
place it on the head of one of her
bridesmaids rs they dance around her,
for in accordance with an old belief,
whoever she crowns is sure to be mar
ried within year from that date.
AS may be imagined, this ceremony
is the source of no small excitement,
each bridesmaid being naturally anx-
ious to follow the example of the bride.
1t is still current notion in many
parts of England that the bride in re-
moving the bridal wreath must take
especial care that her bridesmaids throw
away every pin. Not only is it atfirme
that misfortune will overtake the briAe G
who retains ever one pin used in he.

Timepieces Constructed of Various Kinds
of Flowers.
The hour at which each flower opens
is so uniform that by watching them
floral clocks of considerable accuracy
can be arranged Father Kircher had
dreamed of it, but vaguely and without
pointing out anything. 1t is to Linneus
that we must ascribe the ingenious
idea of indicating all the hours by the
time at which plants open or shut their
corollos,
The Swedish botanist had created n
flower clock for the climate which he
inhabited, but as in other latitudes a
more radiant dawn makes the flowers
earlier, Lamarck was obliged to con-
struct for France another clock which
is little in advance of the Swedish
one.
