Carpet In the Stores

One large department store in New York diff
fers from the others in having an entire floor
softly padded and carpeted.

a nervous looking Boston woman.
"Perhaps," replied her tranquil companion,
but think what relief to tired feet. Also to
tired ears, for there is no sound Of tramp, tramp
Of weary and struggling shoppers of cash boys
dashing madly about.
"Besides, it gives such an air of comfort and

New Jap Flower Stand

The taste for Oriental decorations has recently
resulted IN the Importation of Japanese flower
stands OF kind never seen here before These
consist of tiny rings of metal about half an inch
high, gathered in groups of various sizes. These
are put into bowl of water. Each ring holds
one stalk OF a flower, which must naturally be
a lily, peony, ionqul or some blossom with a
strong stem. These flower holders are sometimes
made ,in fantastic forms, such as turtles or fish.
They explain the arrangement of flowers which
in the japanese pictures seem to be growing
up directly from the middle of the bowls.

I'M the time they are old enough to have

LSsSEtll ed Just how pleasant the luxuries oi
life are They have seen the other
side. and consequently they want to
keep their families from becoming acquainted
with it.
So they shower upon their families as many OF
the good things Of life as they can afford. They
dress their wives and daughters in the latest
style, and they keep two or three servants or
perhaps more in order that these same wives
and daughters may not run the risk Of spelling
their hands.
Young girls nowadays are. for the most part,
brought up as if they we're to spend all their
lives as hothouse plants. OF course, their fond
fathers think that they will, and lay plans for
all sorts of brilliant matches; but the daughter
generally disappoints her parents by marrying
some estimabe young man with practically moth

ing is followed by such marriage, it is, never

young girl.
Every girl should learn how to sew and cook,
for even if she does not marry a poor young
man, her father may lose his money, and she be
thus obliged to shift for herself
But her parents rarely take either possibility
into consideration, and in consequence the girl
grows up into helpless sort of a creature who
cannot go int the kitchen without burning or
cutting herself and who cannot hear the whir
of a sewing machine without getting a head
ache.
She cannot even darn her own stockings. but
has to get a seamstress to do them for her. If
she tears a rent in her skirt, she either gives it

Callers should not be encouraged until she is
out of school, for foolish attachments are liable
to spring up. When she is out of school she will
be more mature, and more able to ward off un-
desirable love affairs with mpecunious young
men.
Above all things. her parents should be
full not to instill into her mind any of their own
belize in her superiority to other young girls; for
as soon as she begins to think that she is better
than the other girls she knows all her sweet
charm will be gone.
Parents should not permit their affection for
their daughter to make them forget the possible
msfortunes of the future. If they have brought
her up as hot-house plant, she may some day
have very just cause for bitterness against them
when she finds that her education has been
such that she absolutely cannot face the world.

some explanation from the local cor

The Associated Press received a ca

stating that the shock felt in this city
was recorded in Honolulu by the seis-
mograph. The disturbance. however,
was hardly felt by the people of the
islands. The Hawaiian Islands will
subscribe literally, it was stated. to-
wards the relief of San Francisco, and
that the anxiety felt there was of the

The Associated Press seems to be
more generous to Chauncey NJ. De
pew than it was a while back. 1t
now speaks of his returning to the
senate at it's next session, with a
deal of respect. Six months ago it
had little to say of him, presuming
that he was a disappearing star in
the armament of political action and
favor. Mr.. Depew may never bear
the same relation to the American
people that he did at one time. His
day is done in our judgment, he liv-
ed for the favor of the rich alone,
caring little for the common peo-
pie, save to jolly them and laugh
them out of their dollars and to be
sufficiently sleek to secure favorable
legislation for the rich. Depew for
ever is fallen idol.
