A lecturer In a California town had
in his audience lank young man who
drank in every word with flattering
avidity and whose eyes bulged out
with delight at the pictures thrown on
the screen.
AS the evening wore on the lecturer
got into the habit Of looking ut his en-
tranced listener and after awhile had
almost the feeling that the lecture was
intended for him alone.
This evidently was the idea which
possessed the lank young man as well.

| will ask you to 60 with me two miles

Sweeping n Carpet.

Many a carpet is worn out prema-
turely by injudicious sweeping. Stiff
carpet brooms and the stout arms of
inexperienced maids are their destruc-
ton. In sweeping thick piled carpets,
such as Administer and Turkey carpets,
the maid should be instructed to brush
always the way of the pile. says Wo-
mans Life. BY so doing they may be
kept clean for years. but If the broom
is used in n different way all the dust
will enter the carpet and soon spoil 1t.
Without the greatest care and some lit
tie knowledge furniture and paint, by
being knocked about by the broom,
may soon receive an irreparable
amount of damage.
