Good way to Clean Mating.

To clean mating, sweep it twice
first with stiff broom, working along
the grain of the straw; then crosswise
with soft broom dipped in warm
water. rinsing with clean water. This
brightens all sorts of colored mating,
and also saves It, in measure. from
fading.
Very light mating is best washed
after sweeping with weak borax
water or rather wiping with cloths
wrung out of it. Anything whatever
stopped upon a matted floor makes
the last estate of it much worse than
the first. Dust invariably collects un-
derneath and, once wet, shows through
In ugly dark splotches. For grease
spots grain of prevention beats n
ton of cure, but If they exist, cover
them quickly with prepared chalk
wet with turpentine, let the mixture
remain for two days, then brush off
with stiff brush. If the spots are
very big and very greasy, put one
eighth as much washing soda as chalk
and mix with water to the thickness
Of putty.
Little used mating, as in spare
chambers or upper summer rooms,
should be swept very clean, then
wiped with cloth wrung out of
sweet milk. Do this once year
1t keeps the straw live and to de-
gree plant. If the milk-wash is used
in living room or on a piazza follow
1t by wiping with very hot clear
water to keep the floor from drawing
fies.-Chicago Record Herald.

New York Real Estate.

A New York correspondent says:
Speaking of real estate, the Produce
Exchange is assessed at $4,000
which is one million higher than the
stock exchange. The d. o. Mills build
ing is S2,OOO,O00. The former Custom
House, which now is owned by the City
bank, is rated at 81, 100000. Turning to
our big hotels the Astor House stands
at $1,000, 900, the Fifth Avenue hotel at
So, DOC, 900, while the Waldorf Astoria
towers up to 4,SS5,O0O As the tenant
is obliged to pay taxes it gives Mr..
Boldt the very pretty bill of 100000.
Some would think that alone a big rent,
but the house makes money enough to
paw it, and also half million to the
owners. The Waldorf-Astoria indeed
has the richest patronage in the world
and it is steadily increasing to such an
extent that the landlord can increase
his already tremendous terms without
diminishing the crowd.
The Mail and Express building is
$6O5, 900, the Tribune building 800, 900,
the New York Times is $500 while
the Pulitzer building is 81, $780, 900. This
makes PulitZer's tax $50, 900, but as his
tenants pay him $15O,OOO he can stand
it, and, reader. is not this doing pretty
we'll for man who on landing from an
emigrant ship took lodgings in the
Park? The big insurance buildings,
however, 60 still higher, for the New
York Life is 80, 900, 900, the Mutual Life
is $4,000, 900, while the Equitable Life
is $6,OOO,OOO. The latter is 1.-The best
business property in America and is a
monument of the genius of Henry B.
Hyde, the president. whose arduOus
labors probably shortened his life.

An Ocean Race.

NEW YORK, July II. An interna-
tional sailing race half way around the
world will start from this city the first
week of August. The racing ships are
the Acme and Brilliant. The Acme
was built in Maine and flies the Stars
and Stripes. The Brilliant was launch
ed few months ago in Glasgow.
These vessels are the latest additions
to the big sailing fleet of the Standard
Oil company They are loading at Bay
onne n. j., for Y Yokohama, Japan, and
their sailing dates are almost identical.
The ships will follow the same course,
reaching Yokohama by way of the
China Sea. The officials of the com
pany proposed the race few days ago
and found the captains more than will
ling. The Acme has never sailed a
voyage before. She was towed down
the coast from the Bath ship yards a
few weeks ago. She registered 2,9S7
tons, has four masts and carries crew
of 30 men.
The Brilliant was launched in April
and made fast voyage across the At
lantic. She is somewhat larger than
the Acme. She registers 5000 tons.
In Captain Reuben S. Laurence OF
Bath, the Acme has skipper of expe
rience and nerve. He has followed the
sea for 35 years and for p years has
been in command of big ships.
The Brilliant is in command of Cap
tain George CowlingshaW, a navigator
of much experience. He has raced be-
fore and may be counted on to get the
most out of his new ship.

GAMBLING AT, THE RAcErRAck

The Chicago American of June 2Stl
had a series of articles bearing on thu
subject of gambling at the racetracks
Among them was the following, by
Rev. Thomas B. Gregory, pastor of the
Chicago Liberal church, formerly of
Belfast:
About 5000 human beings, men,
women and children, possibly $500
men, l., 200 women and 200 or 800 chill
dren-little boys and girls, let us say,
between the ages of ten and sixteen
backed away under the roof of the
grand stand building at the Washing
ton Park race course!
1t was a characteristic crowd. The
men, the women-yes, and even the
children-were plainly filled full of the
spirit of the time and place.
They were there for sport-not the
healthy and legitimate sport that con-
slsts In witnessing fair trial of speed
between half dozen magnificent
thoroughbreds, but the sport which is
spelled with these eight letters-g-a-m-
Ling.
The noble animal, the horse, they
were not thinking of at all; but they
were thinking, and thinking most
earnestly and excitedly, of the money
they were to win or lose in the betting
The spirit dominating the 5000 HUI
man beings, old and young, men and
women, was the spirit of the mean and
the mercenary. They were there for
business-the business of profting by
the unfair and unholy principles Of
getting something for nothing
In the minds OF these people there
was none of the inspiration that is
born of witnessing the action of the
horse, his grace, his speed, his endur-
ance-Whatever inspiration there was
arose from the sordid thought-''Which
horse is going to win, l. e., How much
money am to win or lose?"
The demoralizing effect of this spirit
was not to be concealed. 1t was every
where visible. Not only the men, but
the women, yes, and even the boys and
cltement that bordered close onto
delirium.
One could not help asking the ques-
tion-in fact, the question was forced
home to one in spite of ones self-'Is q
state of mind like this good thing: Is
it conducive to morality? Does it tend
to make home purer and happier? Does
it not positively weaken tie forces
upon which morality depends? Yender
woman-possibly wife and mother
is she made better, purer, more wifely,
more motherly, by this wild excite
ment?'
The question cannot be answered in a
way that shall be favorable to the race
track. The man who is morally sound
knows that this is so. If he has the
fine character that makes one a true
husband and father, a true lover of the
home and of the virtue upon which the
home reposes, he knows, as well as he
knows anything in this world, that the
only possible effect of such gatherings
as was witnessed yesterday at the
Washington Park racetrack is to deaden
the moral sense and destroy the best
and purest of our human possessions

Precaution Against Small Pox.

AUGUSTA, july 1O-Dr. A. G. Young
of the State board of health has sent a
letter to all the principal lumber manu-
facturers in the State requesting them
to act together in preventing further
spread of small pox. He suggests that
the lumbermen sign an agreement not
to employ any men in their camps who
have not guarded against the disease by
vaccination. DR.. Young states that, in
his opinion, such an agreement on the
part of the iumbermen would have the
desired effect of obliging the laborers to
provide against liability to the disease,
and would be for the mutual good not
only of the lumbermen and their
employees, but for the State at large.
He draws attention to the unusual pre-
valence of small pox in all parts of the
country, and adds that conditions are
such that it seems probable the disease
cannot be stamped out Immediately.
