Carpet Cleaning.

To remove spots of sugar, glue, blood and
albumen from dyed tissues of wool, simply
washing wit h water is generally sufficient,
says The Hpusekeeper, which for varnish,
resins, etc, recommends turpentine, ben
zine, then soap. For spots of grease, soap
water or ammonia. For tallow, alcohol at
80 dogs. For vegetable, wine and fruit
stains and red ink, wash with warm soap
water and ammonia. For rust and black
ink, repeated washings with citric acid, if
the color is we'll dyed; weak muriatic acid,
if the wool is of the natural color. For
lime, lyes or alkalies, weak nitric acid,
poured DROP by drop, and rub with the fin

mia, more or less weak, according to the it's

ATTRACTIVE FURNISHING.

The Decorator and Furnisher Describes
Some Clever Contrivances.
A pretty duchess table can be made of a
wooden frame, cut in kidney shape, curv-
ing in at the center. 1t should be ample
and low enough to enable the possessor to
dress her hair sitting before it, if she de-
SIres. The frame should be padded on top
and covered and the sides draped with
white, yellow or pale pink silesia, over
which can be puJ Swiss muslin, null or any
transparent material, decorated with flow
ing bows of ribbon the color of the silesia
used. A good sized mirror is hung above
it and draped with the sheer material tied
with punches of ribbons.
Corner cupboar ds made of two tall up
right pieces of light wood, with triangular
shelves at different intervals, glass doors
shutting in the upper half and pretty cur
tain on rod below is a simple and mex
pensive substitute for buffet Tack mar
row strips of wood half an inch from the
sides along the upper shelves and put the
plates and saucers standing within these,
so as to show the whole surface Small
gilt hooks are screwed firmly into the bot
tom of the shelves, cup hung by the
handle on each hook. Put the larger pieces
on the lower shelves or use them for silver
bookcase and writing desk, such as nearly
every family owns and longs to get rid of,
may be completely transformed by remov-
ing the glass doors from the upper and the
drawers from the lower part and substi-
tuting therefor soft silk curtains of dull
blush TINT which makes the best harmony
with mahogany color. These curtains
may be hung OF brass rods, although slen-
der bars of mahogany with square cut ends
are more pleasing. Ii the drawers are re-
moved from the lower part, shelves may be
easily slipped into their places and will be
found valuable for the bestowal OF bric-a-
brac and art treasures
An odd new bedroom suit is in shrimp
pink, decorated with quaint japanese pic

couple of silk curtains. A japanese table,
fitted with shelves after the fashion of a

The Editors Dream.

An editor sat in his office chair, his
shoes were patched. his clothes thread
bare, and his face looked weary and
worn with care. While sadly thinking
of business debt, old Morpheus slowly
around him crept, and before he knew
it, soundly slept; and sleeping, dreamed
that he was dead, and from trouble and
toll his spirit had fled, and not even a
cowbell tolled for the peaceful rest of
his cowhide sole. And as he wandered
among the shades that smoke and
scorch in lower hades, he shortly OBJ
served an iron door that creakingly
hung on hinge ajar, but the entrance
was closed with red hot bar, and Sa-
tan himself stood peeping out, waiting
for travellers thereabout, and thus to
the passing editor spoke: Come in,
my dear, it shall cost you nothing,
and never fear; this is the place
where | cook the ones who never pay
their subscription sums; for though in
life they may escape, they'll find when
they're dead its not too late. | will
show you the place where melt them
thin with red hot chains and scraps of
tin, and also where comb their heads
with broken glass and melted leads,
and if of refreshments they only think,
there's boiling water for them to drink;
the red hot grindstone to grind their
nose, and red hot rings to wear on their
toes; and if they mention they don't like
fire, I'll sew up their mouths with red
hot wire; and then, dear sir, you'll see
them squirm while l roll them over to
cool and turn" With these last words
the editor woke and thought it all
practical joke. But still at times so real
did it seem that he cannot believe it was
all dream, and often he thinks with a
chuckle and grin of the fate of those
who save their tin and never pay the

Everything Which admits of choice must
be passed at the left. Everything which
does not admit of choice must be placed at
the right.
In clearing the table food must be first

Gross the gutter
Gently put her.
Dryly see her home,
Taking chances
That sweet glances
Toward him shyly roam.
At the gateway
He will straightway
Make his parting bow
Ask question

Then record his VOW.

Smiles to borrow
Will return them quick.

There is an interesting collection of
cats in the cellars of cold storage ware

Of these cellars varies from 12 to 80
degs Fahrenheit, and The rats and mice
were so destructive that three years ago
twelve cats were caught and placed in
them. At first they had to be closely
confined, but they soon adapted them
selves to their new conditions Of cold
and darkness, and now seldom venture
into the light and warmer air. When
brought mp they at once attempt to re-
turn to their cold quarters.
Five Of the original twelve remain.
Their hair has grown very thick and re-
mains without change through the year.
Two litters Of kittens have been born In
successive years, all having very thick
hair. The room where they were found
was at u temperature u, =. a~,'s.
