MORE CARPETS THAN RUGS.
Dealers Think the Fashion for the Latter
Is on the Decline.

Some carpet-dealers assert that they
are selling more carpets and fewer rugs
this year than for number of years,
and argue therefrom that the rug-fash-
ion may be on the decline. Others, on
the contrary, report an opposite condi-
ton in their business. Rugs are far too
satisfactory to the majority of house
keepers to be readily abandoned. Even
used under the disadvantages of uneven
and gaping floors they are effective, and
their wholesomeness over the close-laid
and permanent carpets is no longer a
debatable question. Accumulated dust
is the natural home and breeding place
of microbes and germs A room with
bare selvages reduces the opportunities
for dust to accumulate.
While one large rug or several small
Ter rugs OF good quality cost more than
carpet to begin with, rugs outwear
carpets and the cost of renovation, in
operative twice a year in the case Of
most carpets, brings the financial bal
ance in favor of the rug. These ad-
JuSIdDl HOOT coverings are now maue
in every size, so that it is possible to
follow any vagaries of shape which an
apartment may offer The narrow hall,
for instance, of the average city house,
widening between staircase and street
door, which used to be considered out
of the rug pale, may now be entirely
carpeted with these rugs; a square for
the front part, narrow oblong for the
passageway, and a short one to reach
across the landing of the basement
stairs.
Most houses being built now, even in
expensive ones, are, if not fitted with
hard floors, provided with well-laid
floors of narrow, close-fitting boards,
which readily take the many excellent
finishes and varnishes in the market, to
give the requisite border. And, finally,
there is an air of excellence about a
rug-laid room that carpeted floor of
similar grade does not impart.--N. Y.

KNEW 1T ALL.

takes.

The Smart Man who Never Makes Mis-
takes.
One of the men who are always sure
and never make mistakes recently
stopped at Western hotel. On going
to his room for the night he charged
the landlord to call him in time for an
early train. Now don't you forget.
The five-thirty. That's the train

"But the five-thirty-" began the
landlord.
'Never you mind anything about the
tivc-thirty. know all about it. You
call me in time to get it. That's what
you're to do. Scc?'
"All right" replied the landlord, a
little shortly.
At five o'clock the next morning
there was a tremendous humping at
the door of the man who wanted to rise
for the five thirty" A voice from
within called "All right" and the land
lord retired to the office.
The traveller soon appeared dressed
for the days journey, AS he paid his
bill, the landlord inquired, briefly;
Getting an early start, haint YEP"
"No. Always take the fve-thirty

cone Of the directors of road?"
"No.'-S

"No. What are you trying to get at?''
Nothing, Only the fve-thirty was
taken off the timetable yesterday, and
the first regular train doesn't pull out
till nine-sixteen. Didn't know but you
had some official connection with the
road, and was going to pull out on a
special five-thirty all by yourself. You
wouldn't let me tell you !ast uight, but
p'r'aps 'taint too late now"
The man who ''knew all about it,
walked out of the Office without word,
and the landlord smiled as ne said to
himself: 'In the language OF Josh

THE NEW HOUSE.


pected to BE.
There is nothing in this world that
fills woman with so much enthusiasm
as the thought of going into brand
new house and fixing it up according
to ones especial decorative taste. What
pleasant days are spent in planning out
each nook and corner, in wondering
whether pale blue would look pretticr
than yellow, on if the smoking-room
shall be Oriental or more up to date in
its hangings,
How we can see before our minds
eye the pretty furniture in colors that
we in anticipation have chosen for
the little parlor, We even know ex-
actly the shape of the rooms,
just how many windows in each and
low the sun will come in over the
plants in the window seat until our
canary will sing for JOY and everyone
who enters will Immediately exclaim
what charming homer We have
not, however, in our dream taken into
consideration the fact that very few
houses, unless built according to our
plans, will be found rcady-made to
answer the purpose. With limit as to
the amount of rent to be expended, we
start out and find that one by one our
pleasant little visions are dispeled. In
one house which comes the nearest to
our ideas the. delightful bay window
looks out into back street and right
into the stalls of a stable located toe
near our premises to be pleasant.
In another everything is satisfactory
but the rent and that is about four
times what we expected to pay, so
with regretful sigh we turn our
steps elsewhere. A chnrmingly quaint
little hall with an antique hanging
lamp almost decides us to take house
quite ways up town, but investiga-
ton proves that the former tenant lost
| five children from scarlet fever, and we
are somewhat timid about venturing
there.
On through the list the house agent
gave us, and in one we find the rooms
are too small, in another too large for
our ideas of pretty furnishing. One
charming brick affair in good neigh
borhood is very tempting until a glimpse
at the yard and alley at the back proves
a kill joy, In the end house is select,
ed that is about as far removed from
the original idea as it is possible for 1t
to be, yet do not despair, for with tasoc
and desire to make them homelillc
the plainest rooms will soon blossom
into hospitality and good cheer, --Phila-

A NATURAL ERROR.
A Woman's Natural Mistake Concerning
Her Husband.


A Woman's Natural Mistake Concerning
Her Husband.
r. She happened into her husbands Office
one afternoon. He was out at the time,
and the young lady typewriter in the
front Office said he was gone only for a
short time and would return soon. SO
the wife sat down at his desk to wait
for him. A typewriter letter lay be-
fore her, and interestingly her eyes fol-
lowed its lines.
"Dear Jack" it read, you want to
know something about my typewriter,
| want to say to you that she is a
daisy"
The wife clutchcd her hands convul-
sively and gasped for breath. Her first
impulse was to rush into the private
Office and assault the young lady en-
ployed there.
But no." she reasoned, SIT is not her
fault entirely. My husband is the one
to receive the greatest censure Oh, that
| have been so blind. Fool that [ was
to trust him. But he shall know the
extent of my hate as he has undeservcd-
ly known the depths of my love"
Then she read further: II am well
acquainted with several other type
writers, but none of them are in it with
mine. was fortunate to secure the
one did, and I'm really in love with
my selection"
This was altogether too much for the
wife to bear, and the opportune arrival
of her husband was all that prevented
her from visiting the young lady who
F@as in measure responsible for all her
misery. When her husband entered the
room her disturbed and excited ap
pearance alarmed him.
"Why, what's the matter, my dear?"
She pointed to the letter. For an in
slant her husband was painfully puz-
zled. Presently he laughed heartily,
Then he handed her another note, which
read:
DEAR Tom: want to buy typewriting ma.
chine. Do you like yours and had l better get
that kindS Yours, JACK.
And then the wife laughed and brush
ing tear from her cheek said that she
knew he was dear good boy.-Chicago

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

THE check rein is q folly and so are
the binders on our brides.
IT will often be found that our horses
will do better upon less quantity of
food than they do upon the quantity
that we give them.
If the parents do not possess the
qualities we would like in the off
spring, how do we expect that the Off
spring will be satisfactory.
A GOOD horse will bring a good price.
A poor horse will bring poor price.
If money is what we are after in
breeding horses, we must breed good
ones.
WHAT are you feeding for? If for
growth, corn will not make it. Oats,
mill stuffs, bran or peas will. If you
want fat, corn is the cheapest and best
food in the world.
OILMEAL, if the dairyman is within
a reasonable distance of where it may
be obtained, is reasona bly, cheap and is
excellent for milch cows. 1t costs about
a dollar and half hundred.
THE lazy feeder may throw twice as
much feed as the hogs want before
them while he is at it, but that is not
the way to feed swine. 1t is not econ
omy from whatever standpoint the
matter may he viewed Feed what
they will eat up clean.-Farmers
