How to Sweep a Garnet.

A carpet should be thoroughly
swept as often as once a week
whether tie room is used or not.
Sprinkle damp salt over it and use
good broom, sweeping with quick,
firm strokes. Some housewives pre-
fer tea leaves and carefully save
them after the tea is poured off
until sweeping day. Either one will
collect the dust, leaving the carpet
clean and fresh looking. If grease
is spilled upon carpet, heat enough
bran to cover it, spread it over the
place to the depth of an inch and
set hot iron or two on the bran.
The heat draws the grease out, and
the bran absorbs it. One application
is usually enough, but if any grease
remains sweep the bran off and APP
ply fresh coating. Ink stains may
usually be removed if treated as
soon as the ink is spilled. Take a
large, coarse sponge and take I'm
all the ink it will absorb. Wash the
sponge, pour sweet milk on the SPOT
and dry with sponge as often as
necessary to remove. every trace of
ink. Then wash the place with
clean suds, rinse thoroughly and
wipe as dry as possible. Every trace
of ink will be gone when the Garnet
is dry. Blotting paper may be used
to absorb the ink if the sponge is
not at hand and the carpet washed
with soft cloth.

perique strong a. POISON.

In many Of the tobacconists' shops
periGue tobacco chopped into granu.
lated form is displayed for use by pipe
smokers. This is the same perique that
has been grown by Frenchmen and
Spaniards in Louisiana since before our
Revolutionary war. 1t is jet black,
intensely strong tobacco, famous for
its flavor and its ability to wreck the
nerves.
1t is grown and made in st. James
parish. Louisiana, and the crop only
amounts to about 100000 pounds u
year.
The makers follow the primitive
processes which We're in use 100 years
ago. The stems are taken from the
leaves and the latter put into box
under a heavy gradual pressure. This
causes the Juice to run out, even
through the wood OF the boxes. A
S:rr:iuai process of fermentation and
cti:'ln;S takes place.
At the end OF three months the to.
bacco is rolled into carrots" and wrap
ped in cloths tightly bound with ropes.
1t is left in that way for year before
1t is ready for market.
The flavor of perlque is considered
delicious by all pipe smokers, but is
too strong. The tendency of smokers is
continually toward lighter and lighter
tobacco. and perique is now used al
most solely for mixing with very mild
tobaccos TO flavor 1t.

Ale Oyer THE HousE.
Points on Furnishing Halls. Especially
Small Ones.

Small Ones
In the ordinary house the fur
nishing of the hall is the matter
that gets the least attention and de-
serves the most. It is generally dis
missed with hall tree and a carpet
or rug if the floor is hardwood IN
der the impression that that is about
all that can be done for it. And
true it is that it is difficult to make
a small hall look like anything more
than thoroughfarc for mere pass
ing in and out, and the worst of it
is that in u way the hall furnishes
the keynote to the house. The Wis
itor takes his first impression from
it.
A small hall requires but little
furniture. Chairs and hall seats
are not necessary. Hall trees have
"gone out" along with marble top
ped tables. Knowing what is not
wanted is next, of course, to know
ing what is wanted. Since we are
to have so little in the way of fur
niture, we must pay more attention
to the paper and the woodwork.
To advise white woodwork in a
hall is perhaps to fall into condem-
nation, yet nothing is better for the
small hall if properly treated. Take,
for instance, hall that is to be
done in red. The woodwork and the
stairs are white. The walls are to
be covered with figured red paper
above wainscot of darker plain
paper or burlaps. Red should pre-
dominate in the rug filling the space
between the stair and the door, and
the stait carpet, also in red, should
be laid with brass rods. In such a
hall the only furniture need be Ia
Bile, in mahogany, for hats, gloves,
etc.; q mirror over it, with brass
frame, if you can afford it, and a
large jar or stand for umbrellas.
There should be coat closet under
the stairs in such hall for rubbers,
wraps, ETC., and shelf over the
door on which bit of terra Gotta
pottery shows to good advantage.
A long, narrow hall may be bro
ken by putting shelf across it two
thirds of its length, with a rod UNI
derneath from which to suspend
draperies, which must, of course,
slide easily on rings. The shelf
should be two feet below the aver
age ceiling, and few bits of pot
terry are effective on it. Color and
shape are more essential than quail
ity in such a place.
Sometimes there is small, high
window in hall, in which case the
table may be replaced by settlelike
seat with red corduroy cushion on
it under the window.
In larger halls the mirror may be
larger, with pegs for coats and hats,
and beneath it seat or chest, in
which rubbers, etc, are kept.
Remember that dull, neutral
tones do not belong to the hall. 1t
should either be light and cheerful
or rich and dignified in treatment.
The fashion of having reception
halls, with fireplace, mantel and
other features which tend to elab-
Grafton, is to be commended, but if
such room must also be the family
sitting room don't do it. The hall
