PASSING OF PARLOR CARPET
Modern Methods of Living Turn to
the Rug as the More San
ltarN.

Modern methods Of living are assert
ing themselves more and more very
day. For some peculiar reason man
always has assumed the prerogative
of supplying what he considered the
untilitarian portions OF the home. and
to woman has been delegated it's orna-
mentation, but in the last few years
ideas have been changing in this re-
gard and women have become not
only the largest buyers. but the finest
judges OF the necessities, as well as
the luxuries of everyday existence.
Only few years ago the height OF
womanly ambition in household decor
alton or idea was Brussels carpet In
the best ROOM floor covering that
was often put over a cushion of straw
and left to gather dampness. dust and
germs, sometimes for years, in the
unused parlor. Anyone who has been
around at spring cleaning and caught
view of the dirt which has sifted
through the carpet was certainly ap-
palled at the sight. For many years
this floor covering was considered the
acme of elegance, and the woman In
comfortable circumstances who would
have had the temerity to substitute
hardwood floors and rugs for the old
fashioned carpet would have been con-
sidered as decidedly eccentric and ex-

CRISIS IN HUNGARY.
Conditions More Threatening Than Be-

Conditions More Threatening Than Be-
fore Adoption of Compromise in 1868.
The resignation of Mr.. kossuth
from the leadership o the Hungaria
independence party is omir'u> tn
Hungary and to the relations between
that kingdom and the Austrian en-
pire. When he was first received In
friendly conference by the king,
against whom his father had rebeled
and who had sought to destroy that
father as a traitor, it was hoped that
the difference of the pest had been
irrevocably buried and that a new
bond of concord and union had been
established between the two realms
There is reason to believe that both
the king and Mr.. Kossuth desired
that to be the case. But that wei
coined dream has vanished in a rude
awakening to a state of more intense,
if not more open, hostility that has
been known before since the adop-
ticn Of Deak's compromise in 1861
The present troubles began little
more than a month ago, when MI
Kossuth again went to the king with
what was practically an untimatum.
The Magyar demands which he made
we're three in number. One was the
use Of the Magyar language and flag
in the Hungarian army, a demand
which has for years been one of the
most serious objects of contention IN
the dual realm. The second was the
organization of seperate Hungarian
banking system in place OF the pres
ent Joint system. The third was the
immediate enactment of so-called uni
versai suffrage law. which it was sus-
pected by many. was calculated to
confirm and perpetuate the political
dominance OF the Magyars in Hungary
II these were granted. complete re-
cancellation between the Msgyars and
their king would be assured. II not,
the independence movement in Hun
gary would be revived. and EFFORTS
would be directed toward dissolution
OF the dynastic gnion.
The result was that while the ven
cradle king might have been inclined
to grant the Hungarian demands. the
heir presumptive. the Austrian Arch
duke Francis Ferdinand. set his face
like a flint against them. and in doing
