A woman tells of getting rid of
cockroaches in a peculiar way. She
incidentally left her big tin cake box
open one night, aud in the morning
found about a pint of the reaches in
it. These she destroyed and found
they were not so bad for day or two.
When they got thick again she con-
cluded to try an experiment, so she
steamed some dry cake and dropped
it in the cake box. When she went
to it the next morning it had nearly a
pint of reaches, and she kept this up
for a week and about rid her house of
the pests. The box was so deep that
they could not climb the implanted
inside to get out, and the smell Of the
cake attracted them in great numbers.

RAG CARPETS.

Rag carpets can be made pretty,
durable and cheap. Every family has
old clothes too good for paper rags,
and not fit for further wear, which
can be used for making rag carpets.
II allowed to accumulate in house
they only gather dust and moths.
One can use old stockings, cut ''round
and round ;" old coats, and even felt
hats. Wooden rags are preferable to
cotton, as they will not burn so rap
idly as cotton if the carpet is acciden-
tally set on fire. They retain THEN
colors better, also, but cotton rags
make a light weight carpet, and this
some prefer. Too bright colors in a
carpet spoil its effects in room by
making it conspicuous, and thus de-
tracing from the other furnishings
of the room. An old lady famous
for making pretty carpets, when
asked how she got the peculiar
shade in her material, said: "Thee
knows that when l get my rags ready
for weaving, put them all in strong
brown dye made of walnut hulis, "
Two differently arranged NARROW
stripes, alternating with narrow "hit
or miss" stripe, blend better together
than the wide old-fashioned way OF
having one wide fancy stripe and one
wide Shit or miss stripe. A carpet
made entirely of ''hit or miss" rags
costs less for weaving and is used very
frequently. Colored warp, on sale in
the stores, is dearer than the white,
and is usually rotted in eoloring, A
