To Select an Oriental Rug.
From Godey's Magazine.

In buying an oriental rug one can dis

may be copied, but by a careful examina-
ton to see If each stitch is knotted. If the
stitch is knotted and it is impossible 20

one can pull the stitch out it is imitation.
no matter how closely color and pattern
follow the original. The manner of testing
the quality of the rug is as follows: live
coal is dropped on the rug and allowed to
burn little. When 1t is removed yellow
ish mark will be left. If this can be brush
ed off with the fingers, leaving the original
colors unaltered it is a sure proof of the
genuneness of the rug. 1t is necessary.

order to be able to discriminate between
the qualities of rugs of various countries
and to understand the age Of the rug from
the intensity of luster. Some of the rugs
which find their way here have been dam

eye of the uninitiated they seem in perfect
condition. Many of these have been crop

From the London Mail.
To clean the glass Of pictures, dip q piece
of chamois leather in alcohol wiring 1t near

lightly. Polish the glass with piece of
dry chamois. Gilded frames may also be
cleaned with alcohol If Oil paintings need

warm water in which some CASTLE soap has
been dissolved. Dry the painting carefully
and then varnish 1t lightly with some thin,

Fortunately for artistic furnishing mar

and discolorations by applying the following
mixture: Boil together a quarter of a pound
each OF soft soap, powdered whiting and
soda for twenty minutes: spread 1t on the
marble Tor twelve hours, and then wash
1t off with clean water. For the ordinary
washing of marble use ammonia and water
in place of soapsuds. To polish black mar

and substitutes must often be accepted in
lieu of things one would like to have.
somebody has very well said: Too many
pictures are often used in a single room.
Better one good picture, property framed,
than three or four crowded together along
a wall. I have counted something like
twenty pictures on the walls of a single
room in country house, and the room
was not very large either
In these days of Photographic reproduc-

world are placed within the reach of al
most every home, even those where severe
economy must be practiced. Photographs
or the finest of ancient and modern art
can now be had from 15 cents TO 81 each,
according to the size, and if one has a
little ingenuity in the use of tools frames

DOMESTIC ECONOMY
Is Now the Wn:chword i'm Many Fash-
ionabIe Households.

rom ine New York Herald.
Chief among the tendencies of the mo-
ment as regards representative New York
women is most marked idea of economy.
Economy in every way, even to the saw
ing of the Pennies let alone the dollars,
has come to be n growing enthusiasm.
That this is rot thOry, but a genuine con-
dition, and that women with the biggest
what they preach can be learned from all
the prominent tradesmen, as war is MAX
ing many of them genuinely blue. for the
accounts of many of their best customers
are falling decidedly off.
The idea of the day is that the country
may sooner or later need money. that at
all events scores of new charities and aid
societies Will probably spring up. and that
they themselves should begin to save now
in order that they may be prepared when
the call for funds comes. That is the feel
ing an eng the women Of the sets" and
they are showing their willingness to be
ready by making all sorts of little sacri-
fees.
This has rot been told in print for the
reason that these women have naturally
not talked about it, but it is. nevertheless,
a fact The average woman of fashion
is having about a third as many new
gowns usual. and she is buying far less
in the way of fripperies and novelties. A
much smaller quantity of goods is being
ordered daily from the butcher, the baker
and the grocer and there are some women
who are actually keeping close watch on
the sugar and butter in their pantries to
see that neither of these articles is wasted.
This, the part of women who have
never done such a thing in all their lives
before. Servants are being discharged and
eSta bliShmente quietly reduced.

4 USE FOR OLD WELLS.

The problem Of what to do with your old

what further use could possibly be made

10 waste nothing, and women clever with
thelr needles and of artistic procliyities
have found a place for wells once cast
aside.
Given the know how" you can do al
most ANYTHING IN the way of dress decora-
ton with bit of a veil. Hats can he
trimmed with il. and veil drapad clevarly

faoruinarlly pretty effect. A hat adorned

must be done daintily but it is a famous
effect fer a petticoat.

oecked With these and ruffies for the wrists
OF dresses are quite possible Some girls
make coilarettes Of their old wells and vet
others entire sleeves. A number of wells

Ornaments for The hair are much in vogus

the Italian wells of white it should be re-

possible TO deal with, and are the most
fashionable TO make over in any of the
ways described.
There is yet another use for old wells
They come into play finely in making work.

is of silk over which the yelling is draped.
Only coarse yelling should be used for this
purpose.
