CONCERNING CARPETS.
Some Useful Information REGARDING
Co1ors, Patterns and Dyeing the
Homemade Article

As long as kitchens are carpeted and
bright rags accumulate, the idle fin
gers of the little girl and old grand
mamma will make and sew carpet
rags. People are showing more taste
in fashioning these now. With many
colored warps to choose from, and
constantly improving dyestuffs, the
housewife can. make a carpet to suit
any room, says Ladies' World, New
York.
A pretty hit-or-miss carpet is woven
with thread of red crossing at in
tervals, to suit the fancy of the weaver.
Some color the rags one color, and
stripe with warp. But the rags must
be Eght-colored and sewed up hit-or-
miss fashion, or they will not take even
passable brown.
People make mistakes in coloring
too much. A beautiful deft-blue bed
room carpet can be made of faded old
blue ginghams and calico, and they ac-
cumulate SO fast. The silver-gray
dresses are most beautiful in a car
pet.
weak solution of stocking black
diamond dye makes a nice slate color.
But use dark colors sparingly, or cut
them up we'll. Nothing shows every
chair mark or raveling like that beau
tlful brown, colored with catechu that
used to form a broad dark stripe in
every carpet.
The stocking-black is the only pat
ent dye to use in carpet. 1t is less
work to get them but more work to
keep them. Don't try to dye several
different kinds of cloth the same col
or unless they were mixed in sewing.
then the different shades will only
show pleasant notified effect.
Beware of too many colors. If you
are going to use blue, trade your green
with some neighbor who uses red, and
both have harmonious colors. Three
colors are enough. say fawn, pink and
green, or green, blue and gold blended
we'll together.
Perhaps the very prettiest warp is
put in two and two-a dark color and
light one, as blue and white, or black
and orange. This warp seems to blend
the stripes, especially in shaded car
pet.
Here is nice strip for dark room:
Two threads black, two yellow and
black long twist; two black, two green
and white twist: two black, two vel
low and black short twist; two black.
seven green, two black, one yellow and
black long twist. Repeat backwards,
using thread twisted the other way.
to form a row of VS. in the center of
stripe. Twist some open-banded, then
cross the bands for the rest; four
inches of silver-gray each side of one
stripe. and four inches hit-or-miss by
the other, in alteration, make pretty
carpet, of which one never grows tired
Rags to be twisted must be very fine.
Substituting blue for black and
green, and white for yellow, makes a
pretty pattern for bedroom.
Allow about one-half pound for one
thread through 25 or 80 yards of car
pet, more or less, according to the
width of the stripe. 1t will take III
pounds for yard of carpet. More, of
coarse rags. Fine rags go farther and
make lighter, smoother carpet.

The representatives of the miners
presented demands for a 10 per cent.
raise of the wage scale, weighing Of
coal at the mines, and a reduction of
the working day, but the operators told
them that these demands could not be

their willingness to reduce the increase

proposition was rejected by the opera
tors.
The operators declined to recognize
the union as an official body They
said that being together through the

Miners win obey strike Order.


Hazleton, Pa, May 5.-The impress
sion prevails among the miners of the
Hazleton district that there will be a
general strike as a result Of the failure
Of the operators and the representa-
tives of the United Mine Workers to
come to an agreement. If the district
executive boards decide on Wednesday
at Scranton to order a suspension of
work, the members of the union here
abouts will It is believed, obey the
order to a man. 1t is conservatively
estimated that three-fourths of the en-
ployes in and about the mines in this
region are organized, and If a strike
is declared, operations will be brought
TO standstill at every colliery. Many
of the mines were idle during the
greater part of the winter on account
Of the floods, and 1t is claimed that
the men are not financially able to
stand a long suspension. The miners,
however, declare that they can live
cheaply in the summer. and that the
coal companies. with only a small sup
ply of anthracite on hand, will be less
able to endure n strike than their en-
ployes.
Commercial business in this section
has been almost at a standstill for the
last six weeks on account of the fear
of a strike.
