To Have Novel Floor Covering.

A new fad not likely to become so
popular as to lose its present exclu-
siveness is being introduced by Mrs.
Perry Belmont, wife of former
American minister to Belgium and
New York politician, who will have
the parquetry floors of her new ST.
100000 Washington residence covered
with reproductions of rugs and car
pets trod by royalty years ago in
Europe.
Apropos to this is the service rem
dered to art by the federal bureau of
manufactures, which is collecting
through the assistance of American
consuls the best designs used in for
eign countries for the manufacture of
articles of utility, and not only plac-
ing those within the reach of Amer
lean manufacturers, but calling their
attention to them. Ten thousand de-
signs of printed fabrics-cottons, silks,
etc., thus collected have been mounted
and arranged so as to be available,
and are now making the round of
American manufactures and industri-
al schools in the order in which the
exhibit is requested.

TRIBUTE TO FLUTE PLAYER.
Colored Messenger Evidently Right
When He Called Music Powerful.

Lewis Miller, clerk of the house
committee on the District of Columbia,
is chirking up bit these days, accord
ing to Irving c. Norwood. For the last
couple of weeks Mr.. Miller has been in
a state of profound depression. He has
not smiled. He has not spoken other
wise than solemnly There seemed,
from his air of gloom, to be somebody
dead in the house office building. So
the other day l asked him about it,
and his face frightened up quite a
little. He seemed to want to talk.
IT'S my flute" said he; my Ger
man silver flute that has been with me
since Hector was a pup. Never, in
the past 20 or 80 years. forget just
how long-have l been without my
flute. When l am tired l play the
flute to rest myself. When | am rest
ed play the flute to become pleasant
ly fatigued. When / am sad | play
to be gay. and when l am gay, l play
to get sad My flute is my constant
companion, my main source of joy, my
only eternal, everlasting, Interchangeable
friend"
After this talk with Mr.. Miller l
went out and found the dusky messen-
ger who is intrusted with the labor
ious duty of seeing to it that nobody
steals the southwest corridor of the
building.
did you ever hear Mr.. Miller play
the flute?" l asked.
"Oh, yassir," the messenger replied;
"he sure can play. Mr.. Jones, down.
stairs, he's a fren of mine-oh, yes,
he's a white gentleman-he lost his
other-in-law-yassir, she was a fine
lady-a month or so ago, and he say he
amt never shed a tear till he heard
Mr.. Miller's flute. oh, yassir, he want
ed to cry and he done tried, but it
| just seem he couldn't. Mostly he
wanted to sing. But one day | done
toll him about Mr.. Miller and his flute,
and he come up. And we sit down out
side the district committee room doah,
and in a minute Mr.. Jones, he began
to cry And he's been up three or
| fcah times since then. He say 1T
makes him feel more respectful.
What does Mr.. Miller play? Deed
and deed l don know, but it sure am
powerful sad. It's grand. 1t would
make dog cry"

Got Rid of the Bore.

The head of a bureau in an impor-
tant government department has long
been afflicted with friend who calls
upon him regularly and sits down, and
sits and sits, and goes on sitting till
The other day this sedentary bore was
in the full exercise of his functions,
when suddenly the official who had
been scrutinizing him closely, cries:
Il knew 1t! l was sure of it! Con-
found these office boys with their
tricks on strangers! They've been put
ting glue on your chair again. Hi,
Jimmie, bring a sponge and a pail of
water" and, pressing with all his
weight on the shoulders of his victim
to keep him down, he continues:
Don't STIR you'll tear the cloth, sure.
Nothing is half so adhesive as glue
on cane-seat chair. Here, Jimmie,
moisten this gentleman so that we
can get him loose. Don't spare the
water-the cloth won't shrink or
fade" The faithful messenger obeys,
and when the operation is concluded
the official conducts the visitor to the
door and bids him farewell with the
remark: Perhaps you want to
hurry home and change your clothing,
so 1 won't keep you. Good-by,
bless you! If your trousers are
spoiled let me know, and I'll stop
the price of them out of the pay of the
Internal scoundrel If 1 can find out
who he was, and to that task l will
devote all the energies of my lifa-
time and the whole machinery of the
government Good-by! The scoup.
drel! 1 thought for several days past
that there was something wrong" His
friend goes like the visions Of youth,
never to return.

"our Barbarous Fourth"

Mrs Isaac L. Rice, founder and pres
ident of the New York Society for the
Suppression of Unnecessary Noise, de-
clares-basing her claim on reliable, II
grim, figures-that our Fourth's statis-
tics probably furnish a sadder COM
mentary on human folly than that af-
forded by any other celebration in the
world" The June Century will pub
lish her condemnation of "Our Barbar-
Gus Fourth" with her suggestions for
a saner and safer observance of the
national holiday. DR.. r. o. Beard, Of
the University of Minnesota, will have
an article in the same number on the
pathological aspects of "Noise" and an
editorial article will treat Of "Offenses

KEEPS OLD AGE AT BAY.
Outdoor Life of Senator Aldrich Re
sponsible for His Vigor.

Many visitors to the capitol have re-
marked on the splendid physical ap-
perance of Nelson w. Aldrich, of
Rhode Island. The senior Rhode Is
land senator is nearing his seventieth
milestone; his hair and mustache are
snow white, but his eyes are clear,
his complexion has the ruddy glow of
vigorous health, and his step is firm
and strong Time has made very lit
tie impress upon him except to whiten
his locks.
"Aldrich,' said a colleague recent
ly, placing his hand on the Rhode Is
land senator's shoulder, you have
been here for nearly 80 years. l have
never heard any one accuse you of be-
ing lazy. The fact is, l know from
my own personal observation that you
are one of the hardest working mem
bers of the senate and l therefore
want you to explain to me how it is
you manage to keep so young. Give
me your prescription. 1 think that
it would be worth my while to try il" b"
Mr. Aldrich smiled quietly. Il do
not believe" he said, that there is
any hard and fast rule for reaching
a green old age, as it is called. What
suits one, you know, might not agree
with another; no two people are ex-
actly alike. l attribute my good
health to care, regular habits, plain
diet, and plenty of outdoor exercise.
Meet me on the golf links next Sat
urday and l will give you run for
your money!"
The senior Rhode Island senator is
said by those who are competent to
judge, to be one of the best golf play
ers in either house of congress.

SEVERE HEMoRRHoIDS
Sores, and Itching Eczema-Doctor
Thought an Operation Necessary
-Cuticura's Efficacy Proven.

II am now so years old, and three
years ago l was taken with an at
tack of piles (hemorrhoids), bleeding
and protruding. The doctor said the
only help for me was to go to a
hospital and be operated on. 1 tried
several remedies for months but did
not get much help. During this time
sores appeared which changed to a
terrible itching eczema. Then 1 began
to use Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and
Pills, injecting a quantity of Cuticura
Ointment with Cuticura Suppository
Syringe. 1t took a month of this
treatment to get me in fairly healthy
state and then l treated myself once
a day for three months and. after that,
once or twice a week. The treatments
I tried took a lot of money, and it is
fortunate that I used Cuticura. ]. H.

Friend in the Shade.

Mr.. Newrich, the dust contractor,
having made fortune, part of which
he had invested in house property in

like Phoenix, from his ashes into
some sort of society. His golden key,

GUS aristorcrat, opened the way
His new friend, among other things,
advised him that visiting cards were a

one up ready for the printer, handed
him one of his own, which read, "Har-

If an Advertisement convinces You
Stay Convinced

When you read in this newspaper
the advertisement of a manufacturer
who has paid for the space used to
convince you that it is to your interest
to buy his goods, and you go to a
dealer where such articles are usually
handled for sale, do not let the dealer
or any one of his clerks sell you some
thing else which he claims is Just as
good" If an advertisement convinced
you, it was because of the element of
truth which it contained.

ASK FOR.
