DURABLE CARPET.
That In Which the Pattern Thoroughly
Covers the Groundwork.

Covers the Groundwork.
The most durable carpet ever woven
was undoubtedly the old rag carpet
made of home-spun rags dyed with veg
etable dyes made from native banks and
roots. The hit and miss effect of these
carpets was often a complete success,
and far prettier than the snowy tapes
try Brussels that succeeded. 1t was
also much more durable. 1t was not
necessary to shut out the sun from the
room carpeteG with the rag carpet, be-
cause its colors were of honest dye and
did not fade in the light. This old-time
floor covering is nearly gone. There
are only a few housekeepers in these
days, in spite of modern inventions and
la bor-saving devices, who have time to
sew and dye rags for carpets, so the
choice of even the old-time farmhouse
must fall upon purchased article.
When room is dull and dreary look
ing there is a temptation to buy a
bright-colored carpet, but it is one that
ought to be resisted. Nothing pals
upon the taste so soon as a carpet of
staring pattern, whose flowers rise
up" to meet your footsteps over it. 1t
is always safe rule to choose a carpet
of medium shade, decidedly darker than
the wall paper. A conventionalized
pattern wears much better than a
realistic pattern of flowers and leaves.
In order to be durable, let the pattern
cover the ground of carpet thoroughly.
A wool ingram carpet of the best
quality is a far better, more satisfac-
tory choice than cheap tapestry,
which is sold at the same price. The
old-fashioned three-ply carpet is no
longer made. The heavy ingram, which
takes its place, is more durable because
it remains in good condition as long as
it lasts, while the upper surface of the
three-ply wears off, leaving the carpet
shabby, though it be still whole. The
next choice to an ingram is a first
quality American Brussels Choose a
carpet of heavy surface, but one woven
through to the back. OF late years
some manufacturers of tapestry have
dyed their carpets on the back so as to
make the superficial observer believe
they are woven through, but such a
shdllOW ucNIce SuOulu uecelVe no one.
1t must be said that there has been a
marked improvement in the manufac-
ture of velvet carpets in recent years,
SO that some of these are almost as
dura BILE as inferior Wiltons. The vel
vet carpet, it should be remembered, is
n tapestry carpet, woven in heavy
frame, and the loops of the surface are
cut to produce the velvet surfaces. A
Wilton carpet is heavy Brussels, in
which the loops of the surface are cut.
The moquette carpet has heavy plush
like surface, but it is not as durable as
Wilton or velvet, though it is cheaper
than Wilton-N Y. Tribune.

a point on Mr.. Carlisle in reply 10 his
declaration that a creditable gold re
serve can never be maintained while
there are S325. 100000 in legal tenders
liable TO be presented at any time for
PAYMENT The Times-Star admits the
fact that as it operates under Demo
cratic rule, but calls its readers to
witness that this reserve has never
been invaded save under Democratic
rule. The law authorizing the issue
Of these bills was salutary, both in
its inception and in its operation, but
the Democratic speakers never con-
cede that present conditions are ab-
normal, that when nation as we'll as
an individual has a deficiency in re-
ceipts below that of its income all de-
mand notes or bills are liable 10 be
presented for payment, that when an
administration deliberately and openly
adopts a policy of cutting down reve-
nues, and of contracting the country s
currency, and further adds insult TO
injury by borrowing money to pay cur
rent expenses, that the holders or
these legal tenders are liable TO call
for their money. These bills We're
issued as banker issues his bills
for general circulation. 1t was moth
ing more than safe business risk

the present revolutionary policy the
conditions have so changed that all
such claims naturally drift to head
quarters for payment

They have created a storm which they
are unable to quiet and are simply

shows, that the public debt was re-
duced every year, and that public reve-
