Rag Carpet Rugs.

There Is quite 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.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Appreciate the good things Of life,
but don't be one of them.
1t doesn't pay to take things easy,
unless they belong to you.
A man may be good husband
simply because he hasn't the nerve to
be anything else.
If a girl wants to be happily mar
rled, let her marry a fellow so homely
that no other girl would have him.
It's always the other fellow who
ought to be satisfied with what he
has.
The man who claims he never
breaks his word is probably stretch
Ing the truth.
There is plenty of room at the top
because most of us who get there
fall off.
The accident of birth is sometimes
nm accident from which 1t takes us
a lifetime to recover.
The only way some people can be
happy is to realize that they are get
ting more than their moneys worth.
1t seems strange that trouble
should ever be unexpected. There
are always so many people to predict
1t.
Most girls would rather be a rich
mans widow than poor mans wife.
The pull that keeps man out of
Jail isn't going to get him into
heaven.
1t sometimes seems as though the
fool killer had given up his Job in
disgust.
The man who takes postgraduate
course in love must pay his tuition
fee in alimony.
The foreign nobleman has his air
castles and is generally looking for
an heiress to go with them.
AS we grow older 1t Is very COM
forting to assure ourselves that wrin.
kles are merely the dimples Of sec
ond hildhood.-From the "Green-
wood Philosopher. in the New York
Times.

! THE COST Of 49,;
! THE MAILED FIST"

That Germany is paying the piper
for her vast armaments on land and
sea is strikingly shown In a paper In
the Atlantic, by William c. Dreher.
Since 1877 there has been only one
year in which the national debt has
not been increased. IL now amounts.
according TO recent official state
ments. TO s1,013, 100000, or a little
more than the French indemnity.
The debt has been doubled since
1895. For the past eight years, Gov
ernment publications again admit, ex-
penditures have exceeded receipts by
s471, 100000, or an average OF $751;
100000 year. The national debt
has already cost the country in IN
terest and administrative expenses
about $3.50, 100000; and yet Ger
many could have kept out of debt al
together. as Professor Schanz has re-
Gently shown, IL the revenues had
only been increased by about $12,-
100000 yearly.
That country with so much in
telligence, character, and efficiency as
Germany undoubtedly has, should go
on piling up its national debt like
this in time Of profound peace. is
certainly a most astonishing phenom-
enon; and some explanation OF 1t
seems called for. If we ask a bank
rupt why he failed. we shall most
likely learn that his income was not
big enough; IL we ask his friends,
they will probably tell us that he
spent his money extravagantly. In
the case OF Germany both explana-
tions would apply-the Empire has
never had adequate and steady
sources of revenue; and its expendi-
lures, niggardly enough in many or
dinary items, have been lavish in the
extreme with the army and navy.

All three scrambled up and took
account of the situation. No one had
received any serious injuries, except
the faithful Meteor. The king-bolt,
which attach ed the front bob, was so
twisted and bent that only the black
smiths forge could set it straight.
The doctor Strengthened up from
his investigation and brushed the
snow from his knees. His spirit was
reused now. Come on, Billy" he
cried. Wen see this through. Take
off the front sled, and well go on
with that"
And Billy, when he found that the
rose to the occasion. The twisted bolt
was removed, and the rear bob, TO
which the long seat was permanently
fastened, set to one side.
"But there isn't room for three
now" declared Maurice, in very odd
tone that might mean either dismay
or relief.

or you'd better walk back to my
house. Wen get the sled in the
morning. Come on, Billy. Remem-

The two were off. the doctor curled
up on the front of the single sled,
and Billy perched behind to steer.
Maurice watched them out OF sight,
then turned and plodded back up the
| hill.
The single sled. of course, did not
equal the speed OF the double-runner:
but they came now to sleeper part
OF the hill, and flew downward at a
good pace.

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 a good substitute for cod
liver oil. Parsnips possess the same
virtues as sarsaparilla. Celery con-
tains sulphur and helps to ward off
rheumatism. Bananas are beneficial
to sufferers from chest complaints.
Celery is 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 q soothing effect onsthe 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 gargle.-Ameri-
can Cultivator.

clutched the doctor with all his

For something like a quarter-mile

turns. On these the unweighted back
part OF the double-runner skidded
and bobbed about. All Billy's skill
was called on to keep his craft in the
track.
"Shove back there, Maurice, and
hold her down." he called, as they
approached the second corner.
Morris was loath to leave his place

hesitated. The hesitation was fatal.
The rear bob slued against the

A pan makes surprisingly good
toboggan on an icy crust like this.
That it had been forty years since
the doctor had used one for that
purpose troubled him not at all. He
had kept the spirit of youth unwith-
cred through all the long, toisome
years. 1t was characteristic OF him
that although the fun OF the situation
appealed strongly TO him, he did not
for moment relax the rigor of his
haste. He confidently believed that
William Gove's baby was in no dan

score.
So now he chose the steepest de-
