Carpets and Microbes.

Fa
In most homes the carpet comes up
only once a year, by which time it is as
full of microbes and accumulated filth as
its insterstices viii allow. No wonder,
then, if U rooms preserve a musty smell
in spite of the periodical opening of win
dows and vigorous sweeping, which only
displace a portion of the dust to settle
promptly elsewhere in some less accessi-
BILE spot.
Fixed carpets are even more objection
able and u~nwholesome in bedrooms, for
there,they absorb the fetid carnations
of the night and soak up various decom-
possible materials for future use.
The ideal would be a polished floor,
garnished with rugs in sufficient num-
Der to give an aspect and feeling of COM
fort, while admitting of easy exposure to
the salutary influence of air. And light
rugs, carpets and curtains ought to be
frequently shaken and hung up in the
air, if they are to remain sweet-not
once a month or year, but twice or thrice
a week, if not o~ftener. At this price
only can we hope to deprive confined
spaces of their native Embellishments,
and the sooner housewives lay this
maxim to their hearts and act upon it

Preparing for the Hereafter.

A good story was related me last
evening of Miss Ella Courtney, OF
cooking school fame in this clty, says
the Washington Post.
"Thcre was q young lady attending
my school of cookery" she said, "Who
was outrageously airish and dotted on
her music and other accomplishments.
She was really bore in the school,
owing to her 'high-falutin' ways as
old Aunt Nancy used to say. 1t was
fashionable at that time to atteno
cooking schools, or perhaps this MISS
prim would not have become a schol
ar.
One day she met young lady ac
ouaintance, and the question OF COOK
