How to Clean q Goatskin Rug.

They can be cleaned by washing o,
with naphtha.
Wet small part of the rug with
naphtha and rub with soft cloth until
that space is clean, then clean another
place, continuing until the entire rug
has been treated in this way. Hang in
the air until the Odor has disappeared.
Take care that no gas is lit in the room
while the naphtha is being used.
To wash the rug, put into tub about
four gallons Of tepid water and half a
pint Of household ammonia. Let the
rug soak in this for about half an hour,
sopping it up and down in the water
frequently. Rinse in several tepid wa.
tiers and hang on the line to dry; if pos
sible, in shady place. Select windy
day for this work. Even with the great.
est care the skin will become hard when
washed. Rubbing it between the hands
tends to soften it, or it may be folded
lengthwise, the fur side in, and then be
passed through the clothes wringer sew
eral times. This, of course, should be
done only when the rug is dry.

THE VERANDA.
How TO Furnish This Attractive Spot For
Ease and Comfort.


How to Furnish This Attractive Spot For
Ease and Comfort.
The idea of converting deep veranda
into sort Of SIMMER sitting room is a
good one IL not overworked. II such an
attempt is made, great care must be
taken not to shut the piazza In too
closely by draperies and screens, and
not to overload il with furnishings. The
beauty Of such an outdoor room is that
1t must be absolutely light and airy,
and any contrivance that shuts out light
or sunshine or that cuts off the view of
green fields or blue sky is to be discour-
aged.
If a screen of any sort is desired,
growing vines should answer the pur-
pose admirably. A japanese screen or
curtain Of slender bamboo rods Is not
Objectionable, and if drapery of any
sort is considered necessary the furnish.
ing stores are offering some very pretty
and inexpensive curtain stuffs that will
answer the purpose. Furthermore,
which is great point in veranda draper
les, they may be washed.
In the actual furnishing Of the veran-
da comfort should be the first considera-
ton. Accordingly hammock should be
the first thing bought. This should be
as long and capacious as possible, and
it should be swung across the sightliest
corner Of the veranda, so that everything
may conduce to the absolute comfort Of
its occupants. RI, Hammock cushions, may
be obtained in all possible varieties, and
there can hardly be too many Of them
to make veranda comfortable.
Veranda chairs should be roomy af-
fairs Of wicker bamboo or Of pretty
green rush wood, and each should have
its own supply of cushions. Do not fierce
summer loungers to sit upright in q
narrow, straight chair, and, ON the other
hand, do not stow them away in rock
ing chairs, for there is no place where
the sharp points of rockers are likely to
cause more annoyance. 1t il effective
and practicable to have one color, such
as bright red, prominent in all the oush-
ions and draperies.
Two or three bamboo stands or tables
are Indispensable TO the proper equip
ment of comfortable veranda. One is
for the magazines and summer movies,
while another must stand ready for the
lemonade or other refreshment that We
randa existence SO frequently demands.

State Flowers.

AS the public school children have in
several instances decided the flower for
the state the following from IL west
crn exchange may prove of interest
Iowa has adopted tho wild roso as the
official flower, Colorado has the column
bine Idaho the sy1ingia, Montana
the bitter root and Utah the sego lily
The state flower Of Nebraska is tho gold
enrod, which is likewise the state flow
er Of Oregon. Michigan has adopted the
clover, and Kansas, tho Sunhower
State, would naturally, ono might
think, adopt tho sunflowcr as its favor
lite, but the field daisy is tho favorite.
Tho state flower of Minnesota is the
moccasin flower.
New Yorll's preference for state
flower has been for several years 4 mat
ter of contention. The rose is the favor
lite, but OH tho vote of tho school chill
drcn of tho state held some years ago
tho preference for several varieties of
roses led to I. subdivision Of the vote
among these, with the result that tech
nically the goldenrod had tho majority
and was chosen. The favoritc of New
Jersey is tho white clover. Two New
England states only havo expressed Il
preference for any howcr-Nermont for
the red clover, by act of the legislature,
and Rhode Island, by vote of its school
children, for the violet
The goldenrod is the favorito in Ala

The Story Of q Very Odd Pet-Favorite
Flowers OF Various States-Mov-
ing Bogs-Threo Years Old.

A writer in The Examiner tells the
following story concerning very queer
pet that his sister named Paul, Tho
writer says:
don't know why he was called Paul.
1t was q strange namo to give such an
odd pet. He was not moro than five or
six inches long from the tip of his nose
to the end of his tail. Ho was bright
green i'll color, with eyes like gold beads,
and his tongue was red. About his neck
was gold chain, and on tho other end
of the chain was pin that my sister
used to fasten to her dress. Can you
imagine what he was? No? Well, then,
/ must tell you. Paul was little cha
meleon, sort Of Mexican lizard.
My sister bought him from man in
the street who had him in little glass
box. She took him home and fed him
on-what do you think? Just one drop
of sugared water, which Paul licked off
from her finger.
Then sho fastened him upon the front
of her pink waist, and then strange
thing happened. Slowly and surely all
the bright green of the lizards skin be-
gan to change to faint reddish shade
From his head to his tail Paul was be-
coming another color-he was trying to
turn pink like tho dress he was fasten-
cd on You see, that is the way cha
melcons do when they want to hide from
their enemies and not be seen. Nature
Ill her own wonderful way, has given
these little creatures power to change
their color for their own protection, and
so Paul was doing his best to hide i'll
the folds of my sisters pink waist by
matching its color as we'll us he could
My sister put him back i'll his glass box
and set him i'll the shade, and very soon
his vivid green color camo back to him.
and he was once more as beautiful as
ever.
Paul did not know any tricks. He
hardly seemed to know how to do any
thing but lie in the sun and blink He
liked to have his head scratched and
would turn it one side for the purpose
and no slipped his sugared water with
apparent delight. But no was too frag-
lie pet to 1.-Two very long i'll our cold
climate So, i'll spite of his warm, sun
ny corner and all tho cotton wool wo
put i'll his box Paul did not 1.-Two many
weeks, and my sister soon lost her pet.

THE FAMOUS DENTIST EVANS.
His Body WIN be brought from France
and be Buried at Philadelphia.

New York. Nov 16.-Arthur L. Valois
of this city, attorney for DR.. Thomas
w. Evans. the famous American
dentist who aided in the escape of the
Empress Eugenie and whose death
has been announced from Paris, makes
the following statement:
There is no doubt that the doctor
was worth several millions. 1t has
been said about thirty-hye millions,
but | place that IA little too high.
Whether there is will Is not yet
known. but | do not think a man Of
such large affairs would die intest0te.
OF course we will not know for several
days. His heirs are Rudolph Evans,
IS years old, of Washington, ID. c.,
his niece. Mrs. Gertrude Miller Of
Philadelphia, with whom the doctor
lived when in America, and several
nephews. Two of the latter are
abroad and how many there are in
this country l cannot say.
when Dr. Evans was here he had
a long conference with Mr.. c. c. Har-
rison, provost of the university Of
Pennsylvania. He told Mr. Harrison
that It had been his intention for many
years to found one or more dental
colleges in this country. lie was IN
love with his profession aud did much
to help young men ambitious to learn
the profession. He also visited Mr..
Morse of indianapolis, former consul
to Paris.
pr Evans wns interested in sew
eral institutions In Paris He built the
Lafayette home in the Rue de Ia
Pont, which is for young American
girls studying music, painting or any
OF the arts abroad. This was trst es-
tablished with a capacity of one hun
dred, but so popular ana IL become
that DR.. Evans last year began the
construction OF a six story addition.
"Dr. Evans buried his wife last June
in Woodlnwn cemetery. Philadelphia,
and he frequently Oppressed the Wish
TO be buried beside her; There VIII be
a funeral ceremony IN PARIS and when
,iicos in ST Johns Episcopal church,
Philadelphia, Of which Dr. Evans was

sMuGGLER MINE FIRE.
Condition Improved, but Yet the Outlook
Is Gloomy.

Aspen, Colo, Nov. 16.-The owners Of
the Smuggler mine, which has been on
fire since yesterday morning announce
tonight that the situation is much i'm
proved, innsmuch MS they have sue
ceeded in carrying lines of steam pipes
TO within q short distance of the fire
and hope In a few hours more to be
playing upon II.
Outsiders. however. take a different
view OF the situation, II is the general
belief tonight that IL Is not the wooden
crib which Is on fire, but the shale foot
wall itself, which rs said TO be very
low grade Of coal. This belief is
strengthened by the fact that the gas.
which is driving the men from the
workings on Smuggor mountain is
more like that from burning coal than
wood. II this theory is correct. nothing
but the flooding Of the mine will stop
the fire.
Already the gas has permeated the
workings in the various mines on
smugeier mountain for two miles to
the north OF the Smuggler shaft, and
500 men have been driven out and two
or three times that number Will have
to uuit work II the fr' is not quenched
The gas is gradually going lower
having now reached the seventh level
If il drives the men from the pumps In
the ninth level II VIII mean the flood
ing of the district ms the Smuggler
pumps are tho principal ones In the
district
The feeling here is very gloomy. ms
II IL believed a long shut down of the
principal mines Of the camp is certain
to occur.
