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.

Not Intentional,

The little girl was very fond of
pleasant days, and at the close of a
heavy rain storm petitioned in her
prayer for fine weather; when, the
next morning, the sun shone bright
and clear she became jubilant, and
told her prayer to her grandmother,
who said:
well, dear, why can't you pray
tonight that it may be warmer to-
morrow, so that grandma's rheuma-

"All right, I WILL" was the quick
response; and hat night as she knelt

Worth Remembering

We have no apology to offer for
the shameful manner in which a Re-
publican Congress is dealing with
the question of tariff revision.
There is one very important point
in this connection however, that
cannot be too strongly emphasized
by the Republican press of the
country, and that is this: 1t was
only by the help of Democrats that
Aldrich and his gang of regulators
of the party's pledge of tariff revi-
sion downward, were enabled to re-
wise the tariff upward. The Demo
cratic National platform was more
explicit than was the Republican
platform, upon the subject of tariff
revision, but that did not deter AID
rich from securing all the Demo
cratic assistance he needed to effect
reputation of the Republican
pledge, and without this aid, the
big Republican boss would have
been powerless.
