Rag Carpet Rugs.

There is quite a revival, these days
Of old-fashioned rag rugs. The car
pet made of strips of cloth has been
In use for some time, even in smart
houses built in the country. This
kind of carpet is not especially fit for
city houses.
So wide was the demand that hand
run looms were put up all over the
country, and farmers wives made
many an extra penny by turning out
satisfactory work.
Now the rag rug has come into its
own again. The favorite ones are lit
tie mat rugs that are so widely used
as dots all over a room. These are
put before the bureau, in front of the
cheval glass. at the side of a bed, in
front of the bath tub and under
chairs.
They are made in artistic designs
and colorings and are quite within
the purse of the woman Of small
means.-New York Times.

Vegetables as Medicines.

Carrots are excellent for gout.
Cranberries correct the liver. Aspa-
ragus stimulates the kidneys. Wat
ercress is an excellent blood purifier.
Honey is good substitute for cod
liver oil. Parsnips possess the same
virtues as sarsaparilla. Celery con-
tains sulphur and helps to ward of
rheumatism. Bananas are beneficial
to sufferers from chest complaints.
Celery is a nerve tonic; onions also
are tonic for the nerves. Beet root
is fattening and good for people who
want to put on flesh. Tomatoes are
good for torpid liver, but should be
avoided by gouty people, Lettuce
has a soothing effect on the nerves
and is excellent for sufferers from IN
somnia. Spinach has great aperient
qualities and is far better than medi-
cine for sufferers from constipation.
The juice of a lemon is excellent for
sore throat, but should not be swal-
lowed, but used as a argle.-Ameri-
can Cultivator.

Don't Marry. She Says.

Mrs. Eloise Ketcham, of New Ha-
ven, Conn. went to Chicago to preach
to the women on the uselessness OF
matrimony. She admits having sac
rillced herself three times on the al
tar of matrimony. Divorce followed
quickly, and Mrs. Ketcham is still
only thirty, blond and pretty. Her
favorite ground is incompatibility OF
temperament.
What woman can get along with
a man these days and be married to
him?". she said. Il have come to the
conclusion that men are mere incl
dents in a woman's life. Fairly good
entertainment, but so weak and triy-
ial-really not worth while,
1.-The very idea of woman tying
herself to one of the conceited
wretches and hoping to please him
and make him and herself happy is
ridiculous. Matrimony is a survival
of barbarism. There is no man living
for whom I'd get easy slippers and
light cigar, and wait on and be nice

She kept in her kitchen a fine steel
knitting needle, which was always in
a high state of polish.

house she stuck the needle lightly

upright position. If no drop adhered
