SOAP AND WATER FOR CARPET
Treatment That viii Serve to Give
the Floor Covering a New
Lease OF Life. ~,

y + q lF4f
To wash the carpet thoroughly you
will require a bucket of warm water,
a cake of carpet soap, a piece Of house
flannel, and, II you are going to tackle
a fair-sized piece Of carpet,ats once, a
supply Of dry cloths.
Do not begin near tho door, as you
may require to leave,the room for fresh,
water, and 1t is unwise to walk on the
carpet when damp. Make up your mind
to do without the room till all Is dry.
Start washing as far from the door as
possible, and work towards It. The
flannel is wetted, and portion Of the
carpet well rubbed. It must not be
overdone, only swetted sufficiently to
secure a good lather yrubbing the
carpet soap ball well in. Then with
the clean, wet flannel remove the
soap. Well rinse the flannel after
wards, so that it is quite soapless
when you begin again, later on .anoth-i
aer fresh piece. 31.5 d. s5
No soap must be left in the carpet
when the final rubbing commences.
Take a dry towel, and rub to your
best. Though you cannot. git rid Of all
.dampness, you can almost dry the,
patch with friction. and this brings up
the nap beautifully, also the colors. sj5

TWO CENTS FOR TON OF COAL
Ono Time When English Penny Had
Really Remarkable Pur-
chasing Value.

Coal at under penny a ton! And
$40 tons Of it at this price. too! This
is the price that coal was actually sold
for in Scarborough in January, when
the price for ordinary coal in London
was 80 shillings ton. 1t happened
this way, says London Tit-Bits. The
steamer John Ray left Newcastle-on-
Tyne for Great Yarmouth with a car
20 of coal, but encountered severe
weather and went ashore at Scarbor-
ough, where she became wreck. The
coal was scattered on the rocks, and
at the sale by auction 1t only fetched
80 shillings for the whole $40 tons.
or course the coal had to be collected
from the rocks, but even if only half
of 1t was recovered the buyers, after
paying for the collection of it. should
have made n nice profit. The ship

This, however, is not so remarkable
as an incident that occurred at sale
of a wrecked ship some little time
ago. The following is the story OF
what actually happened: A large sail
ing ship went ashore, and, after all
attempts to tow her off had failed,
a sale was held of the ship and con-
tents. 1t was held in the nearest vii
lage, and, although the sale had been
advertised, only few people from the
village attended the sale. The ship
and everything on board was offered
in one lot, and was bought by a vii
lager for Ell. A few minutes after
the ship had been sold a number OF
people arrived who had been delayed
by train being late. Many of them,
of course, had com missions to buy; the
ship at very much higher price than
the cit which the villager had paid
for it. Their annoyance on hearing
what had occurred may be imagined.
The viliager who had bought the ship
was sought for, and in few minutes
he had sold the ropes and spars on
the ship for G100; while the ship

On the way back asked Carper
whether the dogs would not learn to-

that they would not, that the older

repeatedly, though he had never seen

much more easily withdrawn.

American culture, and 1t will have the

The spiritual and artistic culture OF
a country is not created by either
women or men-lt is the outgrowth OF
the intellectual and spiritual co-opera-
ton Of the two sexes, and 1t must be
introduced in the home. And there It
must be fostered by both father and
mother. S s5
To be still more candid culture has
never been formed by women. It is
in the nature OF man to grasp ideas
and impressions-in that of women to
be grasped by them. .ss, n
There have S,always been-always
will be-women with force enough to
do the contrary, but they are the ex,
ceptions. $.5!
America has entrusted culture to the
woman-almost exclusively: Does she
understand the trust? Does she not
confuse asuperciliousness with power?
M She finds the man at her feet. but
she does not stop to think that the
