CLEANING CARPETS,

How to Rejuvenate Them According to
40 s3S IA British Factory Methods.
The method employed in British fac
tories for cleaning velvet, moquette,
Aubisson, etc., carpets is the Simplest,
as to means, conceivable. It requires
great faithfulnoss; but, given a good
carpet to start with, if done every six
months it should preserve the fabric in
good order for 25 years.
By this passing Of a quarter of CEN
fury the colols will be faded, but they
will have faded SO beautifully us to be-
more grateful to the eye and better than
ever fulfill the carpets mission, which
ia to be background to the furniture.
Have two large pans Of waSos. Go
clear and tepid and the other hot and
soapy, made so by shaving white ourd"
soap, say two ounces Of soap to two
gallons Of water. Have plenty of per-
fectly clean, white cotton rags, free
from thread ends and lint.
Take q square Of the carpet at one
time and wash the surface quickly with
clean rag and the soapy water. Take
up as much Of the soiled water as pos.
sible. Then wiring out this cloth into a
thifd pan Of tepid water. Take the
other pan Of tepid water and wipe the
soaped and clean surface we'll, being
careful as possible to rub over, not rub
in. Then wipe this with clean cloths
until as dry as reasonable in so short q
time. Proceed with. the rest of the car
pet until finished, guarding against any
shadowy boundary lines by going b,ck
of each square as you continue. Change
the water at every third or fourth square
more often if the carpet needs it,.

Some of the towns creditors preferred
to Keep their per cent. orders. The
tax ratt was enormous, but the citizens
struggled to meet the legal obliga tons.
From this point affairs grew rapidly
worse. The people grew poorer. and when
he hard times came they became utterly
liShcartened. 1t became evident that the
principal could never be paid There Were
no Industrial enterprises. nothing but
run-out farms, riCkety buildings and a
debt equal to half the assessed valuation.
and greater. it is said, than the actual
cash value of the whole town. The citi-
zens rapidly fell out of the taX-payins
ranks
Tax deeds accumulated in the town
treasury. Then the crash came, and all
We're paralyzed. What can be done about
it? The townspcople called Il town meet
ing. March a. and tried to find an an
swer to the question. \ committee of
three was chosen to effect a settlement
and authorized to offer p per cent. on
the debt.
Even at this rate a mighty struggle is
before this unhappy town of 80 people
When the bonds are due. the debt will
equal the valuation of the town. POSI-
bly, the creditors will then take the town.
What could they do with the Inhabitants?
They would have a dead town, worth pos
sibly 5000, and $50 people to support.
Such Il thing would be unique. The
present creditors would simply assume
