THINGS FOR THE HOUSE.
Pretty Curtains Which Do Not Cost Much---
Beautiful! Patterns In Papers.

Toward the last OF March and in
May, as the suns rays grow more
and more ardent. every woman who
takes pride in her home feels rest
less stirring within her, desire TO
pull down draperies, take up carpets
and put TO rout every speck of dust
and dirt which have been accumulat-
ing since last spring or last fall. so
does the American woman usually eel
ebrate the season which in times past
was a joyful festival.
With this desire for cleanliness comes
also longing for new curtains, dra-
peries, and carpets. while the paper
hanger reaps harvest.
Akron stores are full of new. pretty
things destined to transform any house
however prosaic, into a home of dain-
ty loveliness.
Among the things most likely to
need replacing are white curtains,
which have an aggravating way of
displaying sundry rents and tiny holes,
which no amount of patient and pains
taking darnng will make look fresh
and new. There is no reason why
everyone should not have plenty of
white curtains, than which nothing
adds more to the appearance of Il
house. since pretty ones can he pur-
chased for n merely nominal sum.

the new things for this year are the

perIes for doorways and come no
only In solid colors but in stripes ant
figures. The most popular curtains fol
summer use are those made of dotted
swiss and the 121a cent quality is the
one most used.
There is nothing particularly new in
carpets, and vclvets, Administer, mo
quettes, Wiltons and Brussels are used
more than ever before. The use OF
rugs, especially the large room sizes
is on the increase, this being due t,

the public through the press their
valuable ideas. A Pennsylvania
farmer, John G.. Palmer, of
Welsh Run, just writes to the
Club, "The III. S. E. G. is the
acme of your efforts in behalf of
humanity"
By the by, for many years
past, thousands of articles have
appeared in both prose and
poetry, asking, but not answer
ing, just such questions rs those
in the following poem, by Elwyn
Hoffman, which | take from the
Chicago Farmers Advance:
THE INCAPABLE.
Below him lie the fields he scorns
to till,
Above him shine the heights he
cannot reach;
The sirens of the dream behaunt
him still,
And still the burdened ox's
groans doth reach
Up from the lengthning furrow,
that turns down
Together hopes and daises one by
one!
Incapable He'll coined that
bitter word
To be the bearer of a special
sting;
A sting more keen than felt by
those who've erred
Against the laws of Gods adj
minis tring!
Incapable! Paused halfway up
the height
He'll sends its heralds to him
with the night,
A grievous plight is his, but
whose to blame?
Where stands the soulless father
of the fault?
Who sent him lust of power
dream of fame
And taught his soul from low
tasks to revolt?
Who made him hate his sire be-
cause he plods?
Who gave him frail desires and
fragile gods?
The answer to the above question
is

capables, and their mult;plica-
ton goes steadily on.
Everywhere males and females
are leaving the farms. The
negro in the south as well as the
whites in the north. In both
sections the farmer is continually
at his wits end to obtain help
for the fields, and his wife is in
tn same predlcament regarding
the help for the house.
A howl has lately gone up from
all over Pennsylvania regarding
the lack of farm help. An en-
ployment agent in Philadelphia
said he had 900 calls for farm
help and none Offering.
The people fail to see that,
with the spread of public school
lands and compulsory education,
millions more are made into inca
pables.
Every agricultural paper in the
country should at least lay before
its farmer readers the public school
cause of their troubles. Then,
if they choose to sustain the
schools still further, they would
share the responsibility with the
educators, the ministers, the pol .
ticians. and, the philanthropists.
