ARTISTIC RAG RUGS.
Pretty and Inexpensive Floor Cover
ines.

Pretty and Inexpensive Floor Cover
inEs.
The rugs are woven 81 inches wide
and vary from yard and quarter to
n yard and half in length. In putting
the warp into the loom spaces are left
vacant, five threads in and five left out,
SO that the weaving throws up the rugs
in a looser manner than in the ordinary
weaving. But the beauty of the rugs
is in tLe selection of the colors of which
they are woven. They are "hit-and-
miss" but in each rug are put only such
colors us will really harmonic.
One has a peculiarly rich, dark
effect. In its composition are many
blue. The rags are all wool, there are
absolutely no light colors, not even a
bright scarlet, though there are several
shades of cardinal and crimson. The
rags are cut and thoroughly mixed be-
fore any are sewed, SO that the blend
may be good. If even one rag is laid
down which liars" with the others it
is removed.
There are many light colors, which,
though beautiful in themselves, cheap
en- the effect of richer colors. These
are gathered together, carefully sorted
to avoid inharmonious shades and made
into a separate rug. The result is
blending of warm grays, soft pinks and
blues and delicate cream-tints which
rival in beauty many of the handsome
ifaint-hued art squares.
The scheme for the next one was sug
gested by an Administer rug, in which
dark bronzy greens formed a ground
work for garlands of pale pink roses.
One would have said from the sublime
to the ridiculous" if one had read how
my thoughts flew from that exquisite
piece of tapestry to my old green tea
gown. But before long l was in pos
session of rug which in point of color
ing is not far behind it's aristocratic
model. An analysis of the. ingredients
of this rug shows the old dark green
nuns yelling tea-gown, various odd
scraps of green to vary the shading,
the old-rose cashmere which had been
the front of the tea-gown and a few bits
of pale pink cashmere to form the
high lights of the picture. The hit-and-
miss was not sufficient for the entire
rug, so at each end is band of the dark
green and at the extreme end a band of
black. The result is one of the most
beautiful rugs of the collection.
For blue room there is one of all
shades of blue mixed with white, much
of the white in this being cotton. A
darker one is of blue and light gray.
For use over carpet in which green
and brown prevail these colors alone are
used, as many shades as possible of
each being secured. - Washington

the right and three potatoes on the
left, the same distance apart. When
the signal is given girl on bicycle
starts down the right side, a man rides
down the left side, until they reach
the potato which is farthest down the
line. They dismount, pick up the po-
tato and carry it on their wheel back
to the leader, dropping it at his feet.
They turn, ride back, dismount for the
second potato, ride with it back to the
leader, and so on, until they have each
gathered up their row. Usually a girl
will mount more quickly than man.

and their bicycles also bedecked with
paper roses. Then follows an obstacle
race. Two long benches are placed
across the hall, another at the extreme
end of the hall, on which rests a box
of soda crackers, and at the upper end
of the hall table containing several
glasses of lemonade. When all is ready
signal is given and four young men
on their wheels ride down the center,
lift their bicycles over the intervening
benches, mount again, ride up to the
cracker box, dismount, eat one cracker
and return as them came, pausing at
the table to drink glass of lemonade,
after which they make complete cir
cult of the hall before the race is ended.
Next the lancer is danced" if one
may be allowed that word, by 16 men
and maidens on their wheels. They
form in two sets and go through the
figures of the lancers, circling around
each other instead of turning part

the evening.

fitting at the ring is the most diff

attempt. 1t means being able to carry
4 long spear while riding at full speed
and putting this through a series of
rings, which are suspended from glib

head. This can be arranged in three
heats, with prize for the winner.

it is to win in tortoise race, where the
victor is he who comes in last.

HINTS FOR The Bath.
INTENDED for the BENEFIT of the
i Ladies'.

lA~~e~ASN Avn VI e"S
Ladies'.
Bathing after nap is injurious.
A rough bathing towel is better for
any kind of bath than a smooth one.
For protecting the hair during
shower bath or in large plunge cap
of waterproof silk is light and COM
Portable.
The rule is: Hot water for the bath
tub, cold water for the shower bath,
water of normal temperature for the
plunge.
1t is hardly necessary to remind the
Ibather that weakened digestion is the
result of bathing within an hour of full
meal.
If the temperature of the bath water
is either above or below normal the
face and edges of the hair should
he thoroughly moistened with the water
before the plunge is made.
One should never stay in a tub bath
more than ten minutes, nor in shower
bath over two. In plunge bath one
may safely stay 20 minutes, as the ex-
ercise prevents bad effects.
A return from a dusty trip or ride
in the wind should be followed by hot
rather than a cold bath. The escaping
steam induces perspiration and the hot
water washes out the fine dust.
If one is contemplating the necessity
of exposure to sun or wind a cold water
bath is better than q warm one, as it
toughens the skin and makes it firmer
in it's resistance to unfavorable con-
ditions.
The strained juice of three lemons, If
put in the bath water will give one de-
licious sense of cleanliness. The acid
removes all stoppage of the pores caused
by the accumulation of saline sub
stances.
The bather who has had recommended
TO her cold water baths and who cannot
overcome her repugnance of them may
he sure thas this shrinking is the warn
ing of dencate constitution that the
treatment is too drastic.
By procuring two cents worth of
coarse rock salt and allowing it little
time to dissolve the equivalent of sea
bath may be had. This is healthful
way of bathing, as salt invigorates the
skin and quickens the action of the
glands in the skin.
! The luxurious maid who is in the
habit of putting toilet perfumes in the
water of her bath will find mixture of
the same quantity of pure alcohol with
o few drops of handkerchief perfume
more satisfactory and, being less liable
TO adulteration, helpful, not harmful,

then in tours. then eight in row, and
lastly 16 straight across. When the
lines are kept true the effect is delight

when they realized the hardships in
store for them, and are now ready to
turn westward instead of northward.
Your correspondent has made a spe-
cial canvass of this sentiment among
persons here, and sends the plain facts
as he finds them.
Gold there is in plenty, and copper as
well, and many titanic fortunes will be
taken out of the ground all over the
great Northwest during the next few
years. The quickest money, however
lies in transportation, buying and SELL
ing and ownership of wharves and
town sites. Freight and passenger
rates are high. Wharfage ranges from
$3.50 to SO a ton. Town sites come next.
Ambitious capitalists should devote
their energy and resources to the es-
adjustment of a regular transporta-
ton route to the Copper River country
from ether Pacific ports-yes, and from
Atlantic ports, too. They will also, if
they are wise, arrange to freight over
from deep water inland to the Chillyna

In this way they would cover a great
deal of territory. The necessary capt.
tai could be made back every two

vide themselves with plenty of legal
