Value Of Hop Pillow.

q hop pillow-the remedy for neural.
gia and insomnia. To contrive a home
made pillow land what an acceptable
gift for an invalidD it is best to use
the hops died in the sun. Pick the
heads to pieces and be careful only
to keep the petals, and to remove all
hard substances. 1t is necessary to
ill a soft muslin pillow-case first to

course. require changing. For day use

USEFUL SPRING WRINKLES.
70 Lay That Refractory New Carp
Smoothly and With q Calm Spirit.

The secret Of carpet laying is simp':
but it is all the more worth passing OF
for the benefit Of other homemakcl:.
All depends On the order in which the
different sides OF the carpet are tackled.
First, tack across the end Of the room.
across the End Of the breadths Of car
%pet-mind, not along their length. Tack
this end firmly and rather closely: then
take the opposite end, leaving the ,w.
sides loose until the end has be- :;
stretched tightly and tackled in plu !.
BY taking the opposite end for the ST.:
Ond row of tacks one can pull the ca.
pet true, while the average carpet y !:

ed along II end and then down e..
side is very apt to be pulled askc;,;.
The two ends fastened. the carpet :;
true 10 the room. and the work Of ta. =
ing tile sides is soon accomplish !.
These do not require lacking as Glossy
40 the ends except in front Of doors.
Another notion which may have su,.r
value to the younger housewives is
this: II the Old fashioned rag carpet IL
in kitchen or dining room-anl
there is nothing which will stand hard
yea better-do not have 1t sewed. The
breadths laid in place and slightly lap

they can be lifted and cleaned SO mnr..
more easily that it is worth while to
them loose. When cleaned, each

Of the breadth thoroughly and tho.
unpin and hang it up by the otI,cs

The work yet to be done on the present
contract is the excavation TO the speci-

the Duck Creek Flats and three miles
at Salem Cove. From New Castle TO
Philadelphia the depth Of the channel
ranges from % to 40 feet
Five and a half millions OF cubic
yards win be removed from the bottom
of the Delaware this season. The
dredges which will start the work each
has a capacity Of about half a million
cubic yards per month. and later ad-
