that time cost him money The story
Is told by John Gilmer Speed. one OF
the few New Workers who remember
the great English statesman as he was
in those days.
'Rosebery had gone back to Lon

In for clairvoyance One day he ca

certain horse for the Derby, which was
to be run a day or 50 later. But
Wards choice was regarded as a hone
less outsider, and Rosebery took no
stock in clairvoyance anyhow. so the
cable was thrown into the waste bas-
ket. The point Of the story is that that
same rank outsider actually did win
the race"

Too much care cannot be taken of the
housewife in seeing that all the pro

washed This is particular in which
women fastidious in other matters are

which are not to be denuded of their

are liable to have been treated with
insecticides which are of poisonous

sweeping Carpets ana Rugs.

Many fine carpets are prematurely
worn out by injudicious sweeping. Be
fore sweeping an expensive carpet the
floors should be thickly strewn with
Tea leaves, which attract the dust. Tea
leaves may he used also with advan.
tage upon rugs and short piled carpets.
In sweeping thick piled floor coverings

caution will keep the carpet for years

correspondence OF The Progressive Farmer.
AS l read a good deal in the papers
and also hear it discussed, 1 will
give my views in regard TO the rural
free delivery of mails. And while
these r my views, I think a num-
Der of our people here will endorse
what l am about TO say.
1 think the rural free delivery
would be a benefit to u community,
provided it could be conducted on
the plans as it is in cities, viz. Send
out the mails after the arrival of
every train that brings in mail.
Then it would be a great benefit and
1 think a good many people are 60
ing into it and signing petitions for
it that do not look as the disadvan-
tages that is would bring about
First, from the starting point at
some town or railroad point. When
the carrier would have tOstart early
in the morning from the starting
point, he would only take and deli YER
all the mail that had accumulated or
come in on the night trains or the
day before, and tie patrons all aIons
the route would not get their mail
on that day as all, and their mail
would be stale before they would get
it. And the same way when the
carrier returned in the afternoon.
All mail matter that was received,
ever 80 important, would be about "a
hours delayed, as it would be about
night when ne went in, and after all
the trains had passed probably.
think the Postofioe Department ia
trying 80 get fast mail facilities, but
l think this would be getting on
slower and poorer f4cilities
Furthermore, if we take into con.
sideratiOn the cost of the mail boxes,
there would be a number of poor
families that would not be able tn
pay for a box and others that would
be here to-day and gone tomorrow
that would not know when and
where TO get their mail, as they
would not have a box.
l would be glad if some one who
is living in q rural free delivery
community would write an article
and tell US how these objections That
have mentioned are being remedled.
