OF CHINA MATTINGS we have a very
complete stock in every grade. Styles in
these seldom change; but in the Japan
Mattings we show entirely new and I'M
usually handsome effects. The blues and
reds, in regular patterns, mixed, and in
dashes of color, are very taking; while
the browns, greens and yellows are by
many preferred because of their more
simple elegance.
There are 40 yards in every roll, and
the prices quoted have been cut heavily
to apply to roll lots only.
Here are the present prices, together with
the prices actually charged for the same

AND THE BAT STILL LIVED.

A queer story comes with first class recon-
mendation all the way from England.
Thirty three years ago, in 1860, a member of
the Chaplin family died at Blankney, Lin
colnshire, and was laid in the family tomb.
This particular Chaplin was a naturalist,
and among other pets, had a large grey bat
That bat was permitted to enter the tomb
and was sealed up alive along with the
corpse of his dead master. In 1866 the vault
was opened and, to the surprise of all, the
bat was alive and fat. On four different
occasions since, the Chaplins nave looked
after the welfare of their dead relatives pet,
and each time it has been reported in the
land of the living although occupying quar-
tiers with the dead. He was last seen in 1892.

The st. Luke's Summer home, at
Dalton, has, after vsrY, ,successful and
beneficial work, been Closed for this
season.
The home, which is situated two
miles from the village Of Dalton. is in
the midst of charming region emin-
emily adapted in its surroundings to
please the eye and cheer the mind of
invalids, who generally, after a long
illness, welcome with rapture the
change from the city to the free and
open country life.
The Home was under the manage
ment of the Mems guild Of st. Luke's
church which was ably represented in
the courteous and energetic guild mas
ter. A. d. Holland. The inmates are
eloquent in their praises Of the man.
agement and of the matron. Mrs
West, and the cook, Mrs. Richards.
Although the institution was under
the control of Episcopalians, their own
msmbers figured but one-fifth Of the
inmates. the largest number compris-
ing Roman Catholics. Baptists, Con-
gregationalists, Methodists Presby-
terians and Orthodox Jews. The vari-
GUS nationalities were also we'll repre-
sented, the majority being Americans,
Germans, Welsh, Irish, French and
English. 1t will therefore be seen that
the institution was in all respects cos
mopolitan in character. All the cases
were thoroughly inquired into. and
none but deserving invalids were ad-
mitted. That immense good has been
accomplished is without doubt.
ONE SAMPLE CASE.
In one case o husband had been go.
riously ill for long time and the wife
was completely worn out with nurs
ing. Their two children Of necessity
were not receiving the attention the
mother wished to give them. When
the case was heard of the whole family
were transferred to the home, where
the husband recupersted his health so
much that a society in the city has
sent him to the Adirondack region to
further strengthen himself. Other
cases occurred where little fragile
children, who, without the home, could
not get the necessary and longed for
change, were received with pale faces
and returned with childish vigor which
brought tears of joy to their parents
eyes.
How grateful people are for the bene-
fit Of the home not one Can guage,
but in the season Of 1894 the work of
kindness done has been answered by
many an earnest prayer for the incal-
culable blessings received.
The Home has been such decided
success that the Mems guild of St.
Luks's contemplate building a per
manent home in the same locality and
are in hopes that piece of land may be
donated and that the new Home may
be regarded as valuable feature.
