Grease Spots In Carpets.

The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Re
view gives a bit OF Information that doubt
less will explain what our readers have
often observed. and it also suggests re-
ccipt which is well vouched tor. 1t says !;
in the weaving OF pile fabrics little oil
is occasionally used to facilitate the move
ment OF the wires, and very careless
weaver may in handling the oil-can allow
a few drops to fall on the fabric. No
mark of this may appear at the time. but
when the carpet is on the floor, the dust
which would otherwise be swept OFT by the
broom is attracted and held by the oil,
and A spot becomes visible. When the
spot is on or near the edge OF breadth,
there is another explanation. Sometimes
the cars in which the carpeting is carried
South or West have been previously used
for the transportation of oil, and the bot
toms of these are liable to become saturat-
ed with the drippings and leakage OF oil
barrels. Wooden carpeting placed in such
cars NAV absorb the oil, and the fact may
not become evident to the dealer until
carpet so damaged had been laid on floor
or shown in his salesroom often enough
to catch some dust. Fortunately the rem
edy for the trouble is simple. a mixture
consisting of equal portions OF chloroform
and ether will remove the spots at once.

june Magazines.

The North .imcricdH Reuiep for June covers
a wide field OF the thought and the activities
of the day; while the list of distinguished
writers gives assurance of the interesting and
profitable character of the articles. Among
other timely papers, THE Harrison Admins
tration" is discussed, on the one hand, by
Senators. Dawes and Dolph, and, on the other
hand, by Senator Colquitt
IKE publishers of The Ladies Home journal,
present in the June number the first of series
of articles Literary Women in their Homes"
The series opens with delightful sketch,
with photograph, of the home life and person
atty of Augusta Evans Wilson, the author of
"Beulah."
The June number of The ReuieW Of RerieUs
is exceedingly well illustrated, and apart from
its fifty striking portraits ofpublic personages
of the day, it has some good pictures of an
other character. Most notable are the illus
trations accompanying a short article on "The
Home and Haunts of Shakespeare
The June number of The Forum has for
several years been in an especial sense an edu
cational number, and this year there are two
notable educational articles-one by President
Dwight, of Yale University, explaining the re-
cent action of Yale in admitting women to its
advanced courses of instruction; and the
other by one OF the masters OF Elton (England)
who writes an interesting description of this
historical school for boys.
The leading illustrated article of the June
Century is by DIR. Albert Shaw, whose timely
and interesting papers in other numbers on
membered. In this paper he describes the
rise of a new metropolitan Budapest" The
paper is brightly and profusely illustrated by
Joseph Pennell
A very striking story is 1.-THE Boy who
Would MT be Stumped.'' by Bessie Chandler
in the June 81. Nicholas. The hero of he
story is a small boy who is driven to attempt
various ridiculous feats by the daring" of his
companions. The story illustrates the impor-
tant difference between real courage and
absurd or dangerous emulation.

"IANA'S is Il {fff911I TO CURE.

An interesting report has been issued
by the Agricultural Department relative
to the wages of farm labor in this country
during the last half century. From that
it appears that fifty years ago farm wages
averaged about IS 50 month with board.
BY 1860 this average had been raised to
SII, range between $40 and SIS being
common in the East, while, with the with
drawal of many for service in the war, in
1866 it was as high as SI745. From that
figure the average dropped to $40 43 for
1870, rose again to Sl2 Al in 1852. In
1883 it was estimated at SI2 "a, and at the
beginning OF the present year at sI2 81
The statistics do not take into account
the huctuation in the purchasing power of
the currency at the time of the war. Since
the resumption of specie payment in 1879
farm wages have increased 20 per cent,
and they are almost twice as great as they
were fifty years ago. According to the
report there is a scarcity OF farm labor in
the East, especially in New England, The
city and the factory would seem more at
tractive to laborers than the farm in those
States.

Crop Prospects.

There is no doubt whatever that the
spring wheat crop of the Northwest must
be short one; the excessive rains and
cloudy weather have made it impossible
to plant largely and it is now too late to
do it. Probably not over halla crop will be
grown in northwestern states.
The outlook for corn also is bad enough
though it is not too late TO plant; with
good land well prepared, good seed, and
a favorable season, corn will ripen when
planted as late as June Is. And for en-
siage it may even be planted later than
this with reasonable chance of a valua-
bic reutrn.
In such a season as this the owner ola silo
will feel more safe than the farmer who has
to depend on ripening his corn. 1t is
worth great deal to be able to insure
the corncrop against short season.

There is an increasing demand for
choice hog products all over the country.
What is the reason for it? 1t is found in
the improved quality since intelligent
feeders and breeders began sending to
market the sweet, tender, juicy nine or
ten months pig, instead of the tough,
strong hog that has withstood the storms
of two or three winters and the heat Of as

Humane Watering of Horses.

That horse should never be watered
oftener than three times a day, or in TWEEN
tv-four hours, is mistaken idea and bru-
tai pratice. \ horses stomach is very
sensitive and will suffer under the least in
reference, causing feverish condition.
Feeding horse principally on grain and
driving ii five hours without water is like
giving man salt mackerel TOR dinner and
not allowing him to drink before supper
time. Ii you know any thing about the
care of horses and have any sympathy for
them, water as often as they want to drink

horses than any one else, YOU are positive
that the foregoing is wrong. because YOU
have had horses die from watering too
much, and boldly say that the agitators OF
frequent watering are fools in your estlma-
ton. and YOU would not do such a thing.

DANA's ABSOLUTELY CURES DISEASE

Kennebec Journal: The Springer free
wool bill which was forced through the
House of Representatives by the Demo-
cratic majority, and which is still pending
in the Senate is being heard from. OF
one thousand wooden manufacturers to
whom requests for their opinions were
sent, o35 have put themselves on record
against this demagogic bill. This must
be surprise to Mr.. Springer and his as
sociates, who insisted that the bill was in
the interest of both the consumer and the
manufacturer and wooden worker. 1t is
becoming more and evident that this bill,
like other free trade measures, is in the
interest of the foreigners and against the
Americans. When it comes time for the
Senate to take action on this important
matter, we believe they will do so in the
real interests OF the American people
not in that Of comparatively few WOODEN
manufacturers.

Pulp Mills in Maine.

The first pulp mills in Maine were built
about 1870, when it was estimated that
more than one-half of the State was cover
ed with heavy forests, while more than
one half of the 5000 900 acres OF farm
lands was classed as unimproved, being
largely covered with small growth. To-
day, after all the destruction wrought by
the axe, fire and storms in twenty years,
the forest area of the State is estimated to
be larger than it was in 1870, and 1t is
computed by well informed persons that
Maine has enough wood to make $4,000
900 tons of pulp, OF sixty years supply
for all the pulp mills now running IN the
country.

LEVY COURT IN SESSION.
SEVERAL NEW COUNTY BRIDGES TO
BE ERECTED, INCLUDING ONE
OVER RAPPOQUINIMINK CREEK.

The Levy Court met in special ses-
sion on Tuesday, and much important
business was transacted.
The committee to examine the bridge
over Appoquinimink creek at Odessa
reported that the bridge was an i'm
pediment to navigation and recon-
mended that new bridge with a draw
of thirty feet be built at a probable
cost of $500. The present draw is
but nineteen feet and the United States
authorities will soon compel its re-
moval. The old bridge can be used
elsewhere. It was also decided to
built bridge at Washington street in
Wilmington.
Mr.. Eutchison asked for bridge in
Appoquinimink hundred near Van
dyk's school house and on his motion
a committee was appointed composed
of Messrs. Hutchison, Sutton and
Clark to consider the matter.
Ihe committee to view the bridge
on the new road between Glasgow and

In bad condition and that it become
