proved most popular this season.
Pretty summer dresses are made of

two quilts at one side.
China MORE ribbons of delicate oolors

THE LARVA.

THE LARVA. THE BEETLE. THE PUPA
the best way to get rid of them Is to
lay wet cloth over the carpet and iron
with hot f1atiron. The steam generat-
ed will certainly kill every larva it
comes in contact with. Other remedies
are camphor, pepper, tobacco. turpen-
tine and carbolic acid
Inquiry was made of one Of the lar
gest carpet dealers as to what he advised
as the best way to destroy the pest His
reply, as reported in the New York
Tribune, was as follows: Take every
piece Of furniture out of the room and
open every door and window, and if it
is a windy day all the better. Take a
stiff broom and sweep over the carpet
with strong hand. paying particular
attention to the edges and those spots
over which furniture has been resting
This done, Say once month, will effeo-
tually keep away the carpet bug.
1t may be added that the name "buf-
falo bug" was not derived from the city
of that name in this state, but was Civ

How to Make q Simple Filter.

A very cheap and effective filter may
be made by means of a common flower
pot. Fill the hole with piece of
sponge and then place in the pot alter
nate layers of sand. charcoal and small
pebbles. This may then be placed in a
jar or other convenient vessel. into
which the water as 1t passes through
may be received The effectiveness of
this filter MY be enhanced by having
several fiowerpots and letting the wa
ter pass from one to the other into a re-
ceiver beneath.
Another filter is made by placing in
a tank of impure water a vessel so ar
ranged that a sponge which it contains
shall lap over the edge and dip into the
water of the tank. The sponge gradual
ly sucks up and purifies the water in the
reservoir and allows it to drop into the
smaller vessel, from which 1t may be
drawn off by a tube. By placing few
Jumps Of charcoal at the bottom of the
receiver filtration of the most perfect
kind is effected

Vanderbilt's Palace.

The Washington Post in speaking
of Mr.. George w Vanderbilt's fa-
nous palace, now being erected near
Asheville, says: The palace, for it, is
that and nothing else, which he is
building, is intended to be monu-
meut to last for ages, a silent but
significant tribute to the persever-
ance and ability for accumuls ting
wealth with which this remarkable
family is endowed. At present roof
ers are covering the main structure
SO that work may begin on the In
terror. The outer walls of stone and
brick are completed. So far not a
piece of wood has been placed in it,
except scaffolding and false work.
Everything is stone, brick and iron
and steel work. heard an eminent
architect say that it would be as
solid five centuries from the time it
is completed as the day it's owner
enters it to live. Stop and think of
that moment. Then think that
600 men are at work on this palace
and the grounds, and that Mr.. Van
derbilt will not allow one to be paid
less than 81 per day, making a pay
roll alone of 100000 or 100000
yearly. Add to this the fact that
six years will be required to build
this magnificent home. and that in
all as many millions will be spent in
the work, including the building of
roads, the terracing of mountains
yes, mountaineering planting of
trees and shrubs, and other features
of landscape work, and you will have
merely a faint idea of the magnitude
of Mr.. Vanderbilt's plans.

DECORATING A PIAZZA.

Objects Suited to Its Interior Adjournment
and the Comfort of Its Occupants.
Can anything be imagined more de-
nghtful than the calm repose of q shady
piazza on hot summer day? To enjoy
such repose to the full one must be sur
rounded by comforts that appeal to the
senses In addition to those that minis
ter to the body, In the shape Of restful
seats, seductive cushions, handy tables
and refreshing shade. As In our ooun-
try cottages we make the piazza our
habitation. the least we can do Is to di-
rect our attention to itssdecoration. It
is, moreover, encouraging to note how
little outlay is needed to produce charm
ing and artistic results. provided we can
exercise some ingenuity and are not
afraid of little trouble
All kinds Of comfortable basket or
wicker chairs are acceptable. One or
two suitable for reclining. known COM
monty as steamer chairs, form a well
come addition. The chairs should be
furnished with cushions made of suita-
BILE material Any kind of cotton or
linen goods slightly embroidered or tint
ed and outlined are pretty. A novelty
for the piazza is small screen with
two or three shelves to keep off the draft
on breezy day. The shelves serve for
books. needlework or writing materials.
Wicker tables are the handiest things
imaginable on q piazza for light refresh
ments. Sometimes these tables are made

How to Roll UD Umbrellas.

The right way to roll your umbrella
Is to take hold of the ends of the ribs
and the stick with the same hand and
hold them tightly enough to prevent
their being twisted while the covering
is being twirled around with the other
hand. Then your umbrella will be as
nicely closed as when you bought 1t.
and the only wear and tear will be on

An Infant Phenomenon,

Westminster Gazette
A real infant phenomenon keeps all
the medical men and pedagogues of
the good old town Of Brunswick in a
state of wonder and delight. The
little son of a local butcher, O. boy
just two years old, can read with
perfect ease anything written or
printed in German or Latin char
acters. A few weeks ago three Bruins
wick doctors had the baby intro
dueed to them at the house of one of
the learned gentlemen. The first
thing the little one did when brought
into the consulting room was to
stand on his toes at the table, read
ing out from the books that were
lying about. All that could be
ascertained as to the why and where
fore of this uncanny accomplishment,
is that, when the baby. Wits eighteen
months old. aud his grandmother
took him out, he always Immediate
ly caught sight of the inscription
over shops, ana asked about them
as only small child can ask, till he
had tathonled the meaning ot the
letters. 1t was the same mt home;
books aud newspapers had greater
fascination than iollyp"ps auh toys,
and whatever the parents pIayfully
told him he remembered. with the
result that at the age of two years
he reads with perfect ease. Apart
from his accomplishment in reading,

That Bullet Proof cuirass,
