them in the new wall coverings, in

The introduction of the English
vogue for using linoleums as floor
coverings in bedrooms has led to an
enormous increase in the demand for
rugs Housekeepers appreciate the
cleanliness of floor covering that can
be washed without requiring further
polishing with oil or wox, and the
patterns in the bedroom linoleums are
suitable, and the palmer, neutral ones,
that resemble cork or flooring, very
attractive when ornamented with few
rugs. The inexpensive velvet and
tapestry squares are often used for
this purpose, and are to be had in the
old Persian patterns, in which the dull,
rich tones of blue seen in the old rugs,
and the beautiful varying tints of soft
rose are seen to wonderful advantage.

THE DAY OF THE CARVER Suiting the Slicing to the Importance
 of the Guest
From the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
 Carving was once a serious thing. The 10th century carver was professional. He had to make the joint to the guest. The size of his slices was the thing. Then he had to know his guests and cut accordingly.
 A lord. for instance, at the table, and a pike was dished up whole. Smaller fry, and the pike came on in slices. The same procedure with pig. The rank If the diners decided whether it should ap- pear al a table in gold leaf or naked. whole or sliced With bread, too, there was a difference.
 New or three days old baked was ct the discretion of the carver as he sized up the visitors. And as for the apportian- tioning of the tidbits according to pre- cedenee there was no end. The old time carver in fact was born and then made.
 The 18th century was the day of the carving master He taught hostesses the art. Lady Mary Montagu, for instance, took three lessons a week that she might be perfect on her fathers public days when in order to perform her func- tions without Interruptions, she was fore ed to eat her own dinner alone an houi or two beforehand"

 What Happened at Olenberg," by Cliff
 ford Howard: Reilly, Britton O., Chi
 cago, III. M. .-'ri1
 There are all sorts of delights dancing down the pages of this book. A mysteri- ous stranger came prancing into quaint old world town on a Saturday afternoon when all the folk of the village were at merry making on the village square. as was their wont. Nobody knew and no- body could guess. and he would not give a word of his message to anyone but the burgemaster. Then when the burgomas- ter knew he refused to tell until he had assembled all the villagers and prepared to tell them in the most approved and or thodoX manner. But the burgomaster and the other wise old men of Olenburg did not, as they whispered the great secret together, count upon two pretty dairy maids and the beautiful Hulda, foster daughter of the miller, and great lilac hedge, big enough and thick enough to hide all the pretty girls in Olenbeerg. So the great secret got abroad-what the great secret was is left for little readers to discover for themselves. But one part of the secret was this: That a princess, a real princess. great-hearted noble, gra- cious and modest as real prineesses must be- must be found in the village. How a proud, naughty claimant was found who tried to thwart the true princess of her rights, and how at last the true princess was discovered, makes a story full of pretty excitement and quick interest.

 The decision of the Turkish govern ment to evacuate Tripoli speaks well for it's military and political wisdom Tt was impossible to defend Tripoli long without a navy. To try for lorn hope campaign was mhrely 10 lose ships men and money and tempt the powers to further spoilation of Turkish territory. The leading nations will ap- preciate the decision and may have urged il. A more obstinate course might have endangered the peace of the continent
 Turkey is now without one foot of soil in Africa. where once she held millions of subjects and the fairest lands north and east of the Sahara. How long will sine stay in Europe, where even within the memory of mid . dle aged men she held territories three times as wide as now?
 Not long. after other nations agree upon a division of the spells. Some arrangements might be patched up for awarding Salonica to Austria, Albania to Italy and Eastern Macedonia to Bull saria for crushing the national hopes of the Servians and placating elsewhere the other big powers. But Constanti- .nople cannot be divided and it is the crowning prize, one of the finest sites in the old world for trade and em- pire. So the Turk stays on.
 He is not such a bad fellow. though Europe cannot forget that Gladstone called him "the unspeakable. He is brave, hospitable, strong. patient kindly honest. sober, very intelligent. All who know him well praise his fine. lovable qualities Historically he shines bY contrast The Jews. driven from Spain by Ferdinand and Isabella, found a safe home in Turkey, where many still bear Spanish names and speak q Spanish dialect.

 This book describes the greatest achievements in American literature from colonial times to the present. It places emphasis not only upon men, but also upon literary movements, the caves of gated Further the relation of each re- riod of American literature to the corre- spending epoch of English literature has been carefully brought out-and each pe- riod is illuminated by brief survey of its history. At the end A Glance Backward emphasizes In brief compass the most lm- portant truths taught by American litera- ture.

European Conflict Near

Rome october A.-(Special.) )-While rumors of war have been disturbing Eu- rope the superstitious Italian is convinced that a European conflict is bound to come quite soon. His reason is the sec ond liquidation of the blood of St. Jan uarius," which is reported to have taken place. This miracle of the martyrs blood (which is preserved fin dry state in the cathedral of Naples) ordinarily occurs. or is supposed to occur three times a year, and was duly reported on the expected date few days ago Next day the priests in charge reported a second liquefaction and declared that the blood on this occa- sion took on a brighter hue. This has been accepted as presaging a European war for it is declared that similar omens were reported just before the wars oi 1859, 1866 and 1870.
