How to Lay a Carpet.

Put lining down first. Old newspa-
papers will do if there is no better. Fas-
ten the lining in place with few small
tacks. Lay the carpet and tack first at
the end of the room which is least regu.
lar. as if there is a fireplace or bay
window. Stretch this end smooth as
you tack. Then tack one side of the
room, stretching the edge only. Next.
use stretcher vigorously from the first
end toward the opposite, so that the
seams will be straight and parallel with
the side already tackled. Fasten the
second end thoroughly and finally the
other side. Be careful to have the car.
pet perfectly smooth and tight, or it will
wear badly.

Tables of mortality differ somewhat,
but as careful an average as has been
figured is one of the latest. According
to this the average life of civilized hu-
man being is 1888 years. Occupation
has much to do with the duration of life.
Farmers live 1859 years on All average
and clerks only 34.99 years. Carpenters
live 1928 years and printers only 1896
Among the healthier occupations are
those of the domestic, who lives 42.O3
years: the baker, who lives 41.92 years
ami the weaver, who lives the same
length Of time.

The length of time q ham should tt

How to Recognize Symptoms of Danger.
Gus Illness in Little Children.

How to Recognize Symptoms of Danger
Gus Illness in Little Children.
So long as a child is fretful and pcev.
ISL in illness it is not usually in immc-
diate danger; but If the little one lies
supine, with the eyes turned upward
and the tongue lying flat in the mouth,
the danger is imminent. So long as the
tongue cleavos to the roof of the mouth
there is hope, rarely otherwise. When
a child takes a sudden cold and breathes
with catch, as if his lungs were closed
almost up to the top and has carmine
spots on his checks, do your utmost. for
pneumonia is threatened.
When you are aroused about mid
might hearing hoarse, barking, rasp-
ing cough, with great difficulty drawing
in each breath, you will find your child
with the Group, that dreadful scourge
OF little ones. Hot water on neck and
chest, sirup of squills until vomiting en-
sues, hot foot baths and hurried visit
from the doctor.
When a child takes chill, and in
stead of trembling and shaking simply
turns blue and rigid with set teeth and
fixed eyes, know that it is congestive
chill, which calls for the most rapid and
thorough treatment to keep the little
spark of life alight. Hot mustard bath,
rubbing and hot bottles and ginger tea.
perhaps a little hot brandy and water,
are all that you can do until the doctor
comes.
Again when the little soft form sud
denly becomes rigid in your arms, the
eyes rolled upward, the lips and hands,
perhaps the whole body, begins witch
ing and writhing, you must know your
baby is i'll commissions. Think quickly,
then. Has he had some indigestible
food? Are his bowels clogged? If the
first try to get him to swallow some
warm salt and water. If the other Il
warm enema, and have bath prepared
as warm as possible and put him in it.
and send for your doctor. He may
come out of one CONFUSION only to go
into another until his frail little frame
is racked beyond endurance, and you
hold only the waxen image of your
child. But when one knows how to de-
tect the symptoms instantly and act
promptly the chances of life are doubled.

How Well One Dog Was Trained

August Osthoff, of Frankfort road.
was on a train on the North Pennsyl-
vania railroad recently in company with
some friends. They had started on {.
cunning trip, and Mr.. Osthoff had a
valuable pointer with him. The train
was going twenty-five miles an hour
when the dog heard the report of a gun
outside. Some boys We're shooting black
birds. Starting up, Count the pointer
sprang to the open window and looked
out, when one of Mr.. Osthoff's friends
said. i'll fun, $50 fetch it." The dog in
stantly leaped through the easement, to
the great dismay of his owner, who tried
to stop the train, and being prevented
from doing that got off at the next sta
ton and went back expecting to find his
pet crippled or killed. He had not gone
far, however, when the dog came tear
ing up to him with the blackbird.

How to Teach u Horse to Change His Lead

How to Teach u Horse to Change His Lead.
The rider should so train his horse
that he can make the animal in cante,
lead with whichever foot the rider
chooses and change that lead at COM
mand. If it is desirable that the horse
should start off with his left leg. then
his head, by means of the curb, should
be turned slightly to the right. This
will naturally make him put his left
foot i'll front. Then in starting in the
canter the heel of the rider should touch
the horse on the side opposite to that in
which the head is turned, or on the side
from which the lead is desired. While
the canter is in progress the lead can be
changed by going through the same op-
Grafton. 1t is very restful to horse to
change his lead occasionally, and a care
ful rider will sec that his horse does not
get leg weary from too long continuing
to lead with the same foot. Horses do
this naturally, but it is best that the
rider should determine when the changes
should be made.

How to Boil Cabbage without Filling the
House with OdOrs,


Many persons refrain from cooking
cabbage in their houses because of the
permeating and lasting odor which fills
the whole house whenever this whole
some and delicate vegetable is boiled.
Ii, however, it be done quickly and
properly it can be had every day in the
year and the olfactory senses never be
once offended. Let the vessel in which
the cabbage is to be cooked be filled to q
depth sufficient to cover the head of
cabbage with boiling water. Place it
on the hottest part Of the stove. Put in
the cabbage and a dessert spoonful of BIZ
carbonate of soda. Cover the vessel and
boil hard for fifteen minutes. The cab
bagc is now done and is delicate and
tender, and no one outside of the kitchen
has learned anything of the operation
which has just been performed.

If any simple thing pleases you, say it
is splendid" or perfectly grand" If
it annoys you, call it perfectly awful
or ''horrid." If it amuses you, call it
lawfully funny" If it is pretty, call it
perfectly beautiful If you like per-
son, declare that she is ''just too lovely
for anything" or that he is '.just too
splendid for anything" Make it gen.
eral rule to say lawfully" or perfect
ly'' whenever you mean rather or con-
siderably Or very. In short, use the
strongest words you can think of on all
occasions. You will soon find that peo-
pie will care very little about what you
say, and will only listen to you when
politeness compels them to.

be procurable. Pound away on the
drum with might and main until tine

brating with the racket. This will scare
the rats away. Shut the doors and care
fully close all of the ratholes. It is
better to do this at night than during
the day, and while you are eating the
drum in the cellar you should be with
out light. This is no joke, but told in
sober earnest.

How to Water a Horse.

Don't be afraid OF watering too often.
Don't let the horse get very thirsty and
he will not overdrink. Don't give him
ice cold water if you can get that which
is moderate in temperature. Don't
water him when he is overheated.
Never let him have too much water ut
once, especially if he is very thirsty.
Give him a little at time as often as he
will drink. When he has enough he
will refuse more.

How to Treat One Dangerous Nuisance

The person who carries a stick or
umbrella under his arm, or horizon
tally over his shoulder, is a nuisance.
If he does it going up or down stairs in a
crowd he becomes dangerous nuisance.
"A person who does this in Berlin finds
out at once that he is doing wrong, for
the nearest person behind him will strike
the stick sharply, either knocking it out
Of his grasp or striking the point down.
And everybody around will support the
striker in the rebuke. If Americans
would adopt this rule it would do away
with one discomfort Of city life.

How to Swim on the Back.

This is very easily learned. Roll over
on your back, stretch out your legs and
drop them little lower than the body.
Keep the hands close to the side. Then
paddle with them in a rotary fashion
from the wrist. Keep the lungs filled
with air, and you will find swimming on
the back more comfortable than when
lying on the stomach.

A POINT FOR GARDENERS.
How to Build an Asparagus Bed Told
COncisely.

HOW TO kSu1lO an Asparagus BcO IC1u
COncisely.
The building of an asparagus bed
where there is any pretense o. a garden
is a most important operation, as a bed
of these delicious plants is as good at
the end of fifty years, when properly
constructed, as it was in the beginning.
A sheltered place should be selected for il,
where the northern winds do not have i.
chance at it and where the sun can get at
it pretty nearly all day. The roots of the
plants go down deep and spread wide,
and therefore they should be planted in
rows eighteen inches apart and each
plant twelve inches from its nearest
neighbor in the row. Determine the size
of the bed you wish and excavate it to a
depth of three feet and always until it
reaches a soil which will drain itself. If
this cannot be, then tiles should be laid
to take off the water. Fill the bottom
of the excavation with broken stone, old
cans and other rubbish which will not
decay or bind together, and then throw
back the best of the earth excavated
with good quantity of well rotted stable
manure.
The earth by these two landings will
generally be well broken up, but if it is
not it should be broken with the rake
us it is put back. Then put in the two
year-old roots us before stated. Cover
them well and keep the earth of the bed
loose and free from weeds At the end
of two years it will be ready to cut
from. In very cold climates the bed
should be covered with leaves or some
thing else during the winter. In the
spring it should be uncovered the first
thing and hoed and raked. Beds may
be made either in the autumn or spring,
but in northern ATTITUDES the spring is
unquestionably the better time.
