The Popularity of Rugs.

During the past twenty-five years a
considerable change has been effected
in the treatment and furnishing of
floors. This seems a short period in
which to reckon when the history of
floor coverings dates from far back
before the Christian era, even to the
ancient days Of Egyptian splendor.
Prior to this time primitive ages had
adopted the fur skins of wild beasts to
make a comfortable footho.d in their
habitations. The Babylonians were
renowned for the weaving of rugs and
the ornamentation they introduced.
From them the art passed on to the
Persians and the people of India, and
so through Asia and eastern Europe,
and, after the Renaissance, into
France and England. In this country
rugs are becoming more and more in
demand in place of carpets. From Il
hygienic standpoint, according to the
Delineator they are much to be pre-
ferred. In the February number is
an interesting article on floors and
their coverings which will be highly
appreciated by the practical house
holder.

MAYD0LE'S HAMMER,
Henson's Plaster IS Pains Masfer.)

When Maydole was told that he made ga
pretty good hammer" he said, mo, I don't
make a pretty good hammer,'I make the
best hammer that ever aoas made"
Every carpenter who saw a Maydole ham,
mer wanted one. It was of the best ma
terial, perfectly balanced, and the head
never flew of. Hammers were divided into
two classes-1st, Maydole's; I'd, all the rest.
Plasters are separated by the same line
of cleavage; LIST, Benson's Porous Plaster,
I'd, all the rest. When, for rheumatic pain,
a cold, a cough, kidney trouble or any
other disease or ailment that may be treated
externally, you ask for a plaster, any hon.
est, reputable druggist will give you a Ben
sons. He knoWs it is ineomparably the
best, and he assume that you know It too.
AS the name of Maydole stood for hammers
the name of Benson stands for plasters-
the 'real thing" All the medicinal poten-
cies that are valuable in a plaster are in
B~enson's. Capsicum, Strengthening and
Belladonna plasters are out of date.
An army of physicians and druggists, and
millions of the people, have written Of
Benson's Plasters as aremedyto betrusted.
