need much comment, but beautiful
new designs are shown in these each
season. and from among so many de-
sirable mattings no housekeeper has
far to seek.
The greatest advance seems to have
been made in the hand-woven rugs
which have now become so popular,
as their good wearing qualities have
had time to be tested. Some beauti-
full new designs are shown in the
Martha Washington hand-woven rugs
which are now made in all colors and
all sizes. They are particularly suit
able for country cottages, and can
be used upstairs or down. A 3 by 6
costs So. so, while a 9 by IL costs
$21.75.
A new variety very popular this
season is the Priscilla rug, which is
cheaper than the Martha Washing
ton. 1t is only made with plain cen
ters or a chit or miss center, and is
made in eight staple colors. A 3 by
6 costs So. 25, while a 8 by II is
S15. These are specially advocated
for bathroom and porch use, as they
can be washed many times without
~detracting from their pristine beauty
The Whiteall, Saratoga, Lexington
and Martha Washington all retain
their popularity for bathroom use
and it is well we have SO many to
choose from, as it is most important
that these should always be fresh and
dainty.
With such a variety at ones dis
posal the h~ousekeeper would be hard
to please If she could not find suita-
BILE and beautiful rugs.

fore the end of the summer. A 3 by
6 costs So. 25, while 8 by IL is
$3.50.
The dainty little Japanese cotton
rugs are always popular. They are
made in pale colors, delft blue and
white and green and white. They
are mostly for bathroom use, as they
are washable.
The Mourzouk fiber rug comes not
only in Oriental designs, but in plain
effects, and also in art nouveau de-
signs, some of which are extremely
interesting, and come in very useful
for the mountain home, where bar
barrie furnishing is in order. They
are also used for porches and are
made in several sizes, a 4 by 6 costs
IS. 25, and a . by IL is $26. SO.
Paper has been used for so many
purposes of late years that it is not
surprising to think it is now made
use of for some kind of rugs. Hofi
rugs are made of 6brous paper and
come in all sizes and coloring. A 3
by G, rug costs 50, while a IL by Is
costs $40. so. 1t is also sold in rolls
and is used in place of mating.
A new Importation this spring is
the Turcoman drapery, primarily in
tended as a couch cover, so only
ONE in one size, 5 feet 6 inches by
10, which costs $25. AS it is heavier
in weight than the Sumac rugs it can
be used also for the floor. 1t resem-
bles a fine silk Persion and would
make a beautiful rug for a room that
needed rich warm coloring.

ODD EATING

Brazilians never eat when they
drink, nor drink when they eat; and
the Tartars continually persist in pull
ing a guest by the ear until he drinks.
Maldive islanders retire to the dark
est part of the houses and hang cur
tains about them, SO that none OF
their fellowmen may see them at their
meal.
When they desire to show a mark
of great esteem, the negroes of Ardra
drink from the same cup at the same
time, and the King of Loango used
to eat and drink in two separate
houses.
The Philippine islander will not eat
a meal alone. Whenever a Filipino
finds himself without a companion
with whom to share his meal, he VIII
abstain from eating until ne has
found one.
A strange custom prevails in Kam-
chtaka, where a man who wishes TO
entertain a guest invites him into a
cabin, which is heated to an excessive
temperature, and then presses him
with food until he is in a state of tor
por. Instances of men dying at these
orgies have been known.
The Tahitians, though a naturally
sociable race, dine separately. Even
the man and his wife do not eat to-
gehter. Each member of the family
has his own f~ood-basket. They take
their places about five yards apart,
and then, turning their backs to each
other, dine amid a profound silence.

CLOCKS.

Never allow the clock to run down,
1t responds to regular attention Just
as surely as a human being does and
keeps its ourse truly when made to
follow its endless routine.
Be very careful about winding the
clock too tight. 1t is sure to upset the
mechanism to some slight extent and
two or three tense windings mean a
visit of the clock repairer.
The hands of a clock should always
be turned forward. To set the hands
by reversing the right-hand motion is
to loosen delicate screws that hold
them within reach of various cog

NEW SUMMER RUGS.

A few years ago ii was the fashion
to " the floors with grey linen,
and the furniture with ugly Holland
pinafores. The dreariness and mo-
notony of this kind of summer fur
nishing is happily passing away, and
gay lowered chintzes and beautiful
colored rugs have taken the place of
the monotonous striped Holland fur
niture covers, and grey linen floor
covering.
70 those who are furnishing sum-
mer or country cottages, the variety
of beautiful rugs displayed is an in
|spiration for a wide selection, and it
is wise to know what the market has
to offer, otherwise the resources may
have become exhausted before all the
rugs have been seen.
The Kashmir rugs and Brussels
carpet rugs are still to the fore, and
have many friends who can always
find places in their homes for them.
They have much to recommend them
in the way of design and color. The
Kashmirs are made in two tone eff
feels, in Oriental designs. They are
reversible and inexpensive, a 8 by 5
feet 3 inches costing $1.75, while a
3 by IL costs $12.i
Saijo Japanese jute rugs can still
be had, but the Mourzouk seem to
have taken their place within the last

Never allow the clock to be moved
from the position where it is well bal
anced. A deviation Of two or three
minutes a day from the correct time
may be the result of an uneven
placing of the clock, and once it is
properly adjusted it should not be
shifted for busting or for artistic prr-
poses. This is especially true OF
clocks that have a pedulum.

ton and Albany, and I am glad of

those days every young man
thought for himself aud took an
early interest IN politics. If the
young men of today would do
likewise, existing conditions
would be avoided. All the evil in
politics can be traced back to the
primaries. " Undoubtedly the
great fnancier's advice was intend
ed to warn young men Of the linn
itations which they put upon them
selves by ignoring politics and the
application of politics to public af-
fairs. In other words, to have
only superficial knowledge of the
governments of the state and ma
ton in their relation to business is
handicap. Ours is a government
by parties and also a government
that in the very nature of things
has very much to do with the pur-
suits of the people. Every con-
ceivable branch Of business is more
or less effected by legislation, fed
eral, state or local, and it follows
that to know your business thor
oughly, to make the most of your
opportunities for growth and ex-
pansion. it is essential that YOU
know just exactly where the gov
eminent touches it and that YOU
appreciate the extent to which it
either may be benefited or injured
by legislation. This can be done
only by giving serious attention to
what is going on in your own state
capital, at Washington, and in
your own city and county. When
you undertake to do that the log
ical sequence is that you shall take
an interest in politics and so shape
your action that you not only con-
serve your business, but devise
means to improve it. Herein is
the intimate relation between bus
mess and politics. You need not
be politician to do this. Take
an interest in what is going on
around you, in your home city,
your county, y Our state and ma
ton. That's all.

Irrigation in the North Atlantic
States.

Bulletin No. I67, entitled "Ir-

territory covered by this report in
cludes the States of Maryland,
Pennsylvania, New York, Massa-

advantages to be gained from irri-
CATION in this section are limited
to certain crops. Such field crops
as timothy, clover, wheat, rye,
oates aud corn are not particularly
affected by droughts OF short dur
alton; the value of such crops in
eastern Pennsylvania usually lies
between SIS and $50 per acre, and
irrigation in such cases would
hardly pay under present condi-
tions. In case Of truck crops, it is
entirely different. The value of a
single crop will often be $500 to
$500 per acre, and usually two
or three crops are grown on the
same land in year. Crops of
this nature are much more sensi-
tive to drought than field crops.
This is particularly true of berries

OF the value Of his accommodations.
Members of his family familiar
with his affairs have not given a

The estimate of the Baltimore

size of Mr.. German fortune. One
statement is made that Mr.. Cor

YOUNG MEN IN POLITICS.

Whatever may be said against

matter of politics they would be

during the time the fruit is matur-
ing. Failure to provide sufficient
moisture during this period may
result in very greatdamage to the
crop.
While field crops in general are
not extensively irrigated, large
areas of meadow are irrigated in
Pennsylvania. The report de-
scribes the irrigation plants which
supply water to over 500 acres of
meadow from which the estimated
yield is more than double the
yield of similar meadows which
are not irrigated, and of So truck
gardeners in the States covered.
The average yearly value of irri-
gated truck crops is given as ST.
$50 per acre, of which the owners
estimate that $3.50 was due to ir-
rigation, or an increase of AZ per
cent over those not irrigated. The
cost of irrigation usually lies be-
tween $50 and 500 per acre, max
ingan average profit of at least 5000
per acre from irrigation.
The cost of securing water sup
plies in the East far exceeds that
