Rugs which curl up at the edges or
at the sides should be lined through

cloth an inch larger than the rug.
Turn in the edges all round and stitch
them down fiat with stout linen
thread, making fair-sized stitches on
the under surface. and those as small
as possible on the right side. A little

Baltimore Now Bright City.

Since the fire the color OF Baltimore
has changed. 1t used to be a town OF
red bricks, and to an observer stand
ing at the top of the Washington mon
ument it appeared distinctly ruddy.
But in the buildings erected since the
fire the old style red bricks have beer
used but little. Most facades are vel
low or gray or white or salmon pink
The result is that the city looks light
er and brighter. But what the smoke
and dust of ten years will do to thi'
clay brilliance remains to be seen.

The Mail Order House.

The mail order house IS after
the almighty dollar, and every
cent coaxed ont Of the people Of
this section is gone forever. The
mail order house presents a
smiling appearance and attempts
TO wear a smile Of friendship,
but no human heart beats be-
meath its embroidered robe Of
hypocrisy. All the mail order
houses in Christendom would
mot increase the value Of your
farm or town property one cent.
Mail order houses are like the
parasites which feed upon our
crops. To them life is only pos
sible as long as they can suck
the substance from the rural
communities to the upbuiIding Of
which they contribute absolutely
nothing. The mail order house
creates no local market for the
products you have to sell. The
taxes for the maintenance Of
good government in the home
community is borne by home
people alone. No philanthropic
mail order house contributed a
penny TO the protection Of life or
property in this community.
How different it is with the local
merchant He needs neither ad.
vOcate nor defense. His busi-
ness is legitimate because its
success contributes to the gene
raj prosperity Of the community.
The home merchant stands ready
to duplicate every offer so seduc.
lively set forth in the catalogue
Of the mail order corporations. K
The home merchant is response
bic, and his methods are in har.
mony with the interest and vel
fare of the communicate.

While the income Of a number

aggregate than that Of the State
University the income per stu
dent at Missouri is only exceed.
ed by that Of two similar institu-
tions, the Universities Of Illinois
and Wisconsin. In the present

Missouri will be able through the
generosity Of the state and fed
eral governments to spend annu-
ally in the higher education Of
the young men and young wo-
men of Missouri the sum Of $3.50
600, the equivalent Of the in
terest at 3 per cent on an endow-
ment fund Of S11, 100000.
The time has passed when any
Missouri boy or girl need not
turn from their native state for
educational advantages. The de-
yelopement of the system Of pub
lie schools, extending from the
kindergarten at the bottom,
through the grade school and the
high school TO the university has
been taken place in Missouri as
is few other American common
wealths and has brought the
priceless boon of learning within
