To Clean Carpets.

The following method of cleaning
carpets appears in The Housekeeper.
It has been thoroughly tested and
was secured from a professional
source. First have the carpet
cleaned in the usual manner and
tackled down on the floor where it is
to remain permanently. and it is
ready for the cleansing process. Take
one and a half pounds of the best
white laundry soap, one half pound
of white-oak bark, three-fourths
pound of borax, fourth pound of
fuller's earth, one-half pint of wood
alcohol. one half pint of ammonia,
one-half ounce of chloroform and
four gallons of water. Tie up the
bark in piece of thin material, and
boil in two gallons of water for four
hours. Keep boiling water at hand
to replace that lost by evaporation.
Now remove the bag, add the soap,
shaved fine, the borax and the full
ler's earth, and let simmer until all
are dissolved; then add the other
two gallons of water, which should
be boiling hot, and when partly cool
add the alcohol, ammonia and chloro,
form. This quantity will clean thirty
yards of carpet.
To clean, dip out a cupful of the
preparation, put it on the carpet,
spread it, and scrub with an ordinary
bristle scrubbing brush The spot
scrubbed will be covered with lather,
but the carpet will not be wet
through. When all the dirt has been
removed scrape the lather up into a
heap and take 1t up with a scraper
which can be had of any house fur
nishing store, or a shingle with a
smooth edge will answer very well.
When the lather has been removed
go over the carpet with a sponge
wrung out Of clean water, and dry
with a cloth.

THE LONELY LITTLE CHAP.

The boy sat cuddled so closely to
the woman in gray that everybody was
sure he belonged to her, so when he
unconsciously dug his muddy shoes
into the broadcloth skirt of his left
hand neighbor she leaned over and
said:
Pardon me, madam, will you kind
ly make your little boy square him
self around? He is soiling my skirt
with his muddy shoes"
The woman in gray blushed a little
and nudged the boy away.
My goodness" she said, "he isn't
mine"
The boy squirmed uneasily. He was
such a little fellow that he could not
begin to touch his feet to the floor, so
he stuck them out straight in front of
him like pegs TO hang things on, and
looked at them deprecatingly.
I'm sorry" he whispered TO the
woman In gray. Il hope 1t will brush

The timidity of his voice took short
cut to the woman's heart and she
smiled upon him kindly.
Are you going uptown alone?' she
asked.
Yes, ma'am," he said, Il always

is dead. live with Aunt Clara in
Brooklyn, but she says Aunt Anna
ought to help do something, so twice

Anna. ! am going up there now"

around the tiny chap and "scrooged'
him so close that she hurt him, ard

overheard his artless confidence start

FIRST MORMON TEMPLE.
II Was Massive Stone Structure Built
BY Prophet Joseph Smith.

W TfoPnet JoScpn Snttn.
The first shrine of mormonism is
still standing at Kirkland, O. II the
occupants of the little cemetery near
it could rise, says the Ohio Magazine
they would tell how many a fevered
zealot gave his lands, his home and
his all to provide funds for the build
ing of the temple.
It was in 1880 that Smith appeared
in Kirkland, and with his coming
there was a social revolution the
like of which Ohio had never wit
messed. Husbands left their wives
and children, mothers deserted their
homes and babies were placed in the
poorhouse. The end came when
Joseph Smith was compelled to flee
the state of Ohio. The temple was
all left behind.
"A store house of the lord as
Smith called it, was begun in 1881
and by 1884 was completed. Its
foundation was laid on seven small
ridges, or hills, in imitation of the
Rome of old. The dimensions were
about so by 1875 feet. The stone walls
are two feet thick.
The temple stands today about as
| it was when built. On the first floor
is the main audience room. filled
with walnut benches, surrounded by
high railing. The doors to the pews
have locks or catches, so that when
closed whoever is speaking is reason
ably sure of holding his audience.
At each end of the room series
of elevated thrones. one rising
above the other, marks the position
during worship used by the digni
taries of Joseph Smiths reign. Rows
of hooks in the ceiling show how the
curains which We're once used were
arranged to divide the floor into
four apartments.
The floor above is bare and desc
late looking. About sixty chairs
placed here indicate that it is used
as a sort of lecture hall, but in the
days of Smith curtains divided this
apartment just as below
Rollers fastened to the ceiling Of
this second floor, together with a sys
tenn of pulleys, enabled the operator
to raise or lower the curtains o.
both first and second floors at the
same time. In the third story severa
partitions running north and south
make a number of separate chambers
The Reorganized Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints, the body
which worships in this temple now
tries to follow literally the book o.
mormon, which, be it known, pro
hibits poygamy. The doctrine OF
plural wives was one of Smiths
| revelations" Yet this sect defies
Joseph Smith polygamy and all.

QUEER BREWERY CUSTOMS.
QUAINT Advertisements With Which
Brewers Announce Wares.

The brewers of a hundred years
ago used to announce the qualities of
their brew in quantity worded adver-
tisements. Johr Walsby, one of their
number announced in Nay, 1900, from
the Sun brewhouss, Battersee, Surrey,
"a curious porter, called brilliant,
which is stated, says the writer, to be
genuine Porter brewed on pc
culiar principle, and for its brilliancy
has never been equalled in this coun-
try" 1t had, of course, every other
imaginable virtue, and might be seen
ANY day at Mr.. Wakes of the Bed
ford coffee house, under the Piazza,
Covent garden, he taking constant
stock on Draught for his Customers, .
says the Brewers Gazette. Mr.. Walls
by modestly informs "the world at
large that he thinks proper to an
nounce his ale 'in the most public
manner, in order to procure its general
and immediate introduction into all
parts of the world, which is, at any
rate, sufficiently comprehensive. Evi-
IDENTIFY the little Sun brewhouse be-
came the Imperial Brewing company
six years later, genius for finance
being apparently one of its propri-
etor's many gifts.
In the Morning Chronicle of June
%, 1906, We read that at common
hall of the city of London. held al
ways for the purpose on Midsummer
Day, Messrs. Enwar, Sanders, Brooks
and Jones were reelected ale-conners
for the ensuing year. This institu-
| tion is sometimes confused with that
of ale-taster, but the two officers were
really different. The ale-conners were
inspectors of weights and measures,
| as we should now call them, but the
| ale-taster was concerned with the
quality alone, not of ale and beer mere
| ly but also of bread, within the juris-
diction of the court-leet by which he
was appointed. 1t is said that in
| times when the wearing of leather
brooches was common the ale faster
used to pour little of the liquor to be
tested upon a wooden bench, or set
tle," and sit down upon it. If after a
certain length of time which long ex-
perience of this delightful process
showed to be sufficient he found him
self adhering to the seat the beer was
considered not to be adulterated; but
If, on the contrary, he could get away
freely it was proof that sugar had
been used, which in those days was a
high crime and misdemeanor An,
other trick of the ale faster was To
heat the end of a long clay pipe red
hot and plunge it into the beer. If II
came out as white as 1t was before
heating it was taken to show that the
beer was all right, but If it blackened
something injurious had been used
-Four ale conners are still annually ap'
pointed for the city of London, though
1t may be supposed that they have
neither much work nor much pay.

Superiority d the English Tongue.

English is spoken by about $780,.
100000, and Spanish by about So.
100000 people. The difference Is not
due to any inherent superiority OF
the English stock. The English not
only have the greater genius for
commercial and political cooperation
and colonizing, but they have, as
well, built up their institutions on
the enduring basis of righteousness
and respect for law. Spanish is in
comparably more musical than Eng
ilsh and is practically phonetic, while
English Is handicapped by its arbi.
trary spelling. On the other hand
English is often briefer. though not
always. Spanish can say II shall CO.
In one word-'Ire." The great ad-
vantage Of English is its double vo.
cabulary, one Of Teutonic and one of
Latin origin, which enables II TO
make nice distinctions. II has also
acquired the power TO assimilate
words from every language under the
sun. These facts, together with the
greater intellectual activity of tho
English race in many fields of hu.
man endeavlr, have swelled dts vo-
cabulary to startling figures. The
Standard Dictionary contains over
$4,000 words. ! do not believe any
Spanish dictionary contains half as
many.
