The Sparks Show =.

The managers, OF the John II. Sparks
Shows claim that they have the highest
class, clcanest, and hest exhibition OF the
kind travelling. Twenty years Of expert
ence, with ample capital and intelligent
management have combined TO produce
this result. That their claims are well
founded seem to he proven 10y the follow.
ing extracts from late newspapers:
The Mount Vernon Daily Banner SAYS:
THE John III. Sparks Shows exhibited
here Wednesday and many people were
turned away, the big tents being packed
at each performance. This was no doubt
owing 10 the popularity which this show
has achieved here on previous visits. They
more than sustained their reputation. as
the show is even better than ever. II has
been considerably enlarged, with many
new acts and features, and all were cx-
cellent. Mr.. Sparks will have TO enlarge
his seating capacity il he comes to this
city again"
The Barnesville Enterprise says: Great
crowds hugely enjoyed the two perform
anccs given by the Sparks shows last
Monday. The show has had quite n
growth since il was here before. and it il
generally agreed that il il tl,c bcst exhi-
bition Of the kind that ever came To-
Barncsvillc" "
The Hillsboro, Ohio, News- Herald says 4:
TO say that the show was up to the
usual Sparks standard would alone he a
strong recommendation but il was really
better than ever before. They have a
square deal" reputation here, and the
crowds that tested the capacity Of the
tents Is the best possible evidence that
the people Of this vicinity know good
thing when they see il. i"
II more were necessary, We have hun
dreds in similar strain from every sec
ton Of the United States.
The John II. Sparks Shows will ex-
hibit at Kingwood June ). and no one
should miss this opportunity Of seeing this
famous show.

CARE OF RUGS AND CARPETS.
How They Should De Cleaned and
Handled 20 Make Them Last.


little systematic cleaning each
month will preserve the life OF val.
uable carpet or rug for many years.
Many women In their efforts 10 live
up 20 the reputation OF being good
housckeepers literally beat the life out
OF expensive rugs. Handsome rugs
should never be put on line aud
beaten. They should DO laid on tho
grass and whipped gently. They
should then be turned over and swept
with n stint broom that has been dip
ped In ammonia water. This brightens
the colors.
The professional cleaner often fin.
ishes or this clearing process by wash
Ing them of with olive oil soap and
warm water. This seems to give new
life to the wool in the rug. The long
fringe on oriental rugs can be washed
In the bathtub. Make warm suds
and dip the fringe up and down I'm
the shallow water. being careful not
TO knot II. Then hang in the sun to
dry.
Spots on carpets and rugs should be
removed Immediately and not allowed
10 stand until the next cleaning day.
All sticky substances can be removed
by sponging them with mixture OF
alcohol and salt-about teaspoonful
of salt In pint OF alcohol. Spots
caused by shoe or stove blacking
should be covered Immediately with
cornmsal. then rubbed with cloth
and finally swept with n stifr brush.
Ink spots IL attended to Immediately
can be removed by nm application OF
wet salt. Do not rub the spots, how,
ever. II they do not yield TO the salt,
then apply skimmilk and salt alter

GARDENING ASSOCIATIONS.

Civic improvements by the Aid OF
School Children.
A considerable number Of cities I'm
the eastern half OF our country hnye
worked out practical methods OF civic
betterment and beautifying through
the instrumentality OF the school chill
dren. In many cases these efforts
have resulted I'm such n full measure
or success that all the people I'm Ger.
tain places have voiced their opinion
In favor OF municipal support for
school gardens and allied movements.
Nowhere has the scheme been work.

land, o., where the Home Gardening
association has charge OF the work.
Their first work was the sale OF seeds
to school children in penny packages
to the amount OF several hundred thou.
sand OF these tiny packets each year.
The second year n public spirited citi.
zen gave a sum OF money to start the
Improvement OF school grounds, and
the effort met with such marvellous
success that ever since the school au-
thorities have provided for the work.
After the gardens at school and home
were firmly established annual flower
shows were given, at which were ex-
hibited only flowers and plants grown
by school children, and these exhibi.
tions have met with wonderful sue
cess. The experiment OF establishing
school gardens wns 80 successful that
the entire work was finally assumed by
the board OF education. Not only in
Cleveland. but in other places, these as.
sociations have resulted In decidedly
changing for the better the general APP
pearance Of the city or town.
