Sometimes the family in the laboratory

Il was just a few years ago that
Frederick Odenbach went to inspect a
factory In this city where a great
weight of machinery on the second
floor was supported by oak pillars.
Those pillars had been set on stone
bases just for the purpose of keeping
out the termites, who never work in
draft or in the light. but they crawled
over the stone and ate the pillars TO
pieces.

very nice rugs can be made from car

they can be easily sent and returned

prettier than the light colored rag car

easily renewed when soiled.

HOME DECORATION
Some of the Latest Ideas in House
Furnishings.-New York Decorators
and What They Show.

Time was when the idea Of the dec
orator like that of the fashionable
dressmaker was to furnish things that
were the mode of the moment. People
who had plenty of money to spend gave
lavish orders for the complete trans
formations Of their rooms, while women
of limited means attempted TO secure
similar novel effects by buying the
cheap imitation things with which the
shops and department stores tempted
their customers.
DURABILITY DESIRED.
The pendulum has swung back again
toward the ideals Of our grandparents
in one respect at least. Furnishings
are selected with the idea of perman-
ence. but we have improved on the
older fashions by adding artistic fitness
also as a requisite. Sanitation in the
home has made great strides and dec
orators who are most successful take
into account the practical side Of the
problem. The house must not only be
prettily furnished. but it must be
thoroughly comfortable and easy to
keep clean and sanitary.
FLOOR COVERINGS.
Tackled down wooden carpets have
been replaced by hard wood floors or
by floors covered with mattings that
are easily kept clean and wholesome.
Rugs that can be taken out doors to be
cleaned. and chair cushions that are
