There are degrees and kinds of poverty.

among those who compute and measure
poverty and riches by different stand

because they are less rich than Others.

people who are satisfied with a compe-

which no amount OF wealth can compen-

About Rugs and Brooms.

When shaking rugs or mats that are
small enough to be done With the hands,
always hold them by the middle or to-
ward the sides. not at the ends, for by
the latter handling the corners will soon
lie whipped off and the fringe or bind
ing pulled away. A whisk broom, made
with the edge slanting so that one end
is longer than the other. is much better
than an even one for brushing the dust
out of the corners of the room or brush
ing down stair carpets. An ordinary
whisk can be cut to this shape, if one
cannot be purchased.
A heavy broom should always be Sc
lected in preference to light one for
thorough sweeping. as the weight aids
in the process. In buying broom test
it by pressing the edge against the
floor. If the straws bristle out and
bend the broom is a poor one, for they
should remain in a firm. solid mass.
When the sweeping is finished. the
dust should be removed from the edge
Of the broom. and it should be stood in
closet with the straws upward, or
hung UP by the handle few inches
above the ground, for if the straws
touch the ground all the dust that is
blown along the floor by the drafts will
lodge in the straws and assist in wear
ing out both carpet and broom.

In the Animal Kingdom.

A doctor in the Highlands of Scotland
whose patients are scattered over a whole
district. takes carrier pigeons with him

1t is a curious fact that the instinct of
an animal is often far superior to the ac-
CURED skill of man. The beaver. for eX-

and knowledge in the building of dams
that are still not adapted to withstand
some heavy freshet.

Ii is patent fact that Germany by

During the decade from 1850 to 1890
