IVIOTHS IN CARPETS,
If you fear that they are at work
et the edge of • the carpet, it• will
sometimes suffiee to lay a wet towel,
and Press a hot flatiron over it; but
the best way d to take the carpet up
and. oleau it, and give a careful at-
tention to the floor. Look in the crack,
and if you, discover sin e of moths,
wash the floor with benzine, and scat-
ter red pepper on it before putting
thee carpet lining deiwn.
Heavy carpets sometimes do not re-
quire taking up every yeer, unless in
eonstant use. Loosen the edges, folci the
carpets beck, wash the floor in strong
suds, with a tablespoonful of borax
dissolved in theta. Dash, with inseet
powder, or lay with tobecco leaves
along the edge, and rata& the caipet.
Or uee turpentine, the enemy of buf-
falo moths, carpet worms, and other in-
sects that injure and destroy carpets.
Mix the turpentine with pure water
in the proportion a three tablespoon-
fuls to three quarts of water, and then,
after the carpet has been well swept,
go over each breadth earefully with
a spdhge dipped in the solution end
wrung nearly dry. Change the water
a Borten as it becomes dirty. Theme-
-Pet will be nicely cleaned, as well as
disinfected. All moths can be kept
away and the eggs destroyed by this
ineane. Spoto na.y be removed and novated by the use of ox -gall or am-
monia anrnt water.
golod way to brighten a carpet is
to lent half a tumbler of spirits of tur-
pentine in a besin of water, and dip
your broom ha it and sweep over the
caxpet once or twice, and it will re-
store the color and brighten it up un-
til you. would think it new. Another
good way to cleen old carpets is to
rub them over with meal; just damp'
en it a very little, and rub the carpet
with it, and. wlaen perfectly dry, sweep
over with meal: After a earpet is
thoroughly swept, rub it with a cloth
dipped in water and arnmonia; it will
brighten the colers and make it look
like new.
WHAT TO DO WITH POTATOES.
Potatoes that have been left over
from dinner or preakfasi may be utili-
zed in many ways. Boiled potatoes
may be fried brown in butter in which
a teaspoonful of winced onion has first
been fried until yellow, then season
with salt, pepper and parsley.
Cut in slices and browned in hot tat,
or stewed in milk with parsley.
Cut in half Inch dice and warmed in
milk, seasoned with butter, salt, pep-
per and parsley.
Mixed with drawn butter or wiaite
Bailee, seasoned with chopped celery, or
with ,crumbled eheese, covered with
buttered cracker crumbe and baked
until the crumbs are brown.
Or mixed with: sliced beet, yolks oz
hard. eggs, pa.esley, onion, and lettuee,
and aerved with French dressing.
Sweet potatoes may be browned in
butter, or sliced, buttered, or, sugared,
and browned in the oven.
Cooked potatoes admit of such a
variety of raethods of re -serving that
not a scrap ever need be wasted. Loft
over portion' of mashed potatoes
shoved be packed closely in a cup or
sanMI bowl, directly after the meal,
the out in slices and browned in hot
butter or lard.. They may be mixed
with beaten egg, made into balls and
browned in Ihe oven. Or used as a
meet for a small pie of warmed over
meat, or fish.

Floor and ceiling of i xoom should

dents who have a mountain cottage
have re ids its walls of rough plaster
colored a dull brown, which shades on
the ceiling into a grayish green. Along
the walls at the height a the picture

boughs, full of evecel earth. In these
are German ivy roots, the tendrils
trained in a spider web of green wires,
which spreads across the ceiling
Another room has been arranged by
its owner as a sort of mermaid's Cave,

whaler's lentern and. a narrow painted
frieze of red crabs heighten the illu-
sion.
•Japenese umbrellas have long been
used to cover an ugly ceiling. Lanterns
have also been used, but they are not

BRAVE DEEDS QF DOCTORS.
Illieey Are Seldom itteard OF, But, There
4t1 Are rienvY Instances.
We are generally kept well infoemed
of the heroicdeeds and daring of our
soldiers and sailors, but it is very
seldom: we meet with a. record of the
bravery of our medicalmen, who far
more often have opportunities for risk-
ing their lives to save others, says a
London paper. Certainly we have all
been tpld how gallant Surgeon Hugo
at the storraing of Darghai, saved tlae
lifo of ti. wounded soldier who was
bleeding to death. But we only knew
of this heroism when it was more than
twelve months old, and when we had
screanaed ourselves hoarse about in-
finitely less heroic deeds: Andwho
ever hears of the bravery of country
practitioners? Yet, there are deeds
to their honor which would oast a
s.haelow upon many of the deeds done
by, soldiers and sailors at the mention
of whose names we raise our hats. •
Some time ago a young doctor in te
small village in Scotland was cal-
led, out of his bed in the middle of a
stormy night to be, told. that a wo-
man who lived five or six miles
away, was dying; would. he go to her?
Of course he would, and he dressed
with all possible hast, leaving a warm
bed, for a five-naile walk in the blinci-
ing rain, for, as luck would have it,
he had lost hip horse the day before.
After traversing three miles of sodden
moorland, he came to a stream, and
to his surprise found the ont3r bridge
for miles had been destroyed by the
storm. Without hesitation, however,
he swam the stream, reaching the far-
ther bank with the water pour -
from every garment he wore. He ar-
rived at his patient's cottage aching
in every bone, his limbs alraost con-
tortedi by meow. Having relieved the
woman of her sufferings, which were
not serious, though acute, he return-
ed. to his home, going a long detour
to cross the stream, and went straight
Lo a bed.from which he was never able
to rise to accept the thanks of the wo-
man who sufferings he had assuaged
at the cost of his own life.
On the occeeion of a terrible colliery
accident, it was a young local doctor
who first volunteered to go down to
seek and relieve the men who were
believed to have fallen victims to the
explosion. It only wanted. someone to
vo/unteer for others to follow, and
the doctor, went down in the cage
with two or three brave miners. Even
three, however, hatd their fears, know-
ing tso well that one explosion is often
followed by another, and that they
mighb all be going to their death.
SWEETHEAR,TS AND WIVES.
If sweethearts were sweethearts al-
ways,
Whether as maid or wife,
No drop would be half so pleasant
In the mingled drift of life.
But the sweetheart has smiles and
blushes
When the wife has frowns and sighs,
Aiad the wife s have a wrathfutglit-
ter •
Por the glow of the sweetheart s
eyes.
If lovers were lovers always,
The same to sweetheart and wife,
Who wou d change for a future Eden
The joys of this checkered life?
Bat husbands grow grave and silent
And care on the anxious brow
Oft repiaces the sunshine that perish-
ed
With the words of the marriage
vow.
Happy is he whose sweetheart
Is wife and sweetheart still;
Whose voice, as of old, can charm him;
Whose kiss, as of old, can thrill;
Who haseplucked the rose to find ever
Its beauty and. fragrance inerease,
As the flush oi passion is mellowed
In loves unmeasured peace; •
Who sees in the step a lightness;
Who finds itt the forme a terace;
Who reads an unaltered brightness
In the sweetness ol the lace.

I• t should be tne aim of every man
owning and opereting a farm to im-
prove it in some way, writes Jobe 1VX.
Xamison, Formerly, when these farms
of ours were in the hende of the
owners, improvement meant
something very different from what
it means now. Then the effort was to
gee the land in cendition to be cul-
tivated, and to erect sueli buildings as
the iarener must have to shelter him-
self and family. No thonght was had
looking to the improvement of the soil.
Than tt. farmer's skill, in a great mea-
sure, was accredited to his ebility to
clear aed fence land, and the build-
ings put up added to the value el the
holding. Improvements in the way of
b:nd.
iidings, in a newly-eettled seetion,
always add much to the value of the
In the improvement of new land,
muscle originally counted for more
than brains. Now, a new order of
things must rule in the old sections
of the country. Original fertility—in
the main—has been exhausted, or al-
lowed to escape. With the eareful far-.
peer, the buildings on land to he pur-
chased are only valued aeeording to
the actual use to be made cif them. 14
he does not expect to occupy them him-
self, he will not attach much value to
them, even if they are costly struc-
tures. When lands thrown OR the
market are bought to add to pasture
areas, the purchaser, 111 IROSt cases, pre-
fers the improvements to be in some
other form than fine buildi'ngs. Clean
fields and good fences please hill:Amore.
One fact stands very math against
the improvement of farms in the
hands of many owners; this is the ex-
pectation of so many to leave the
farm some time, and have a home in
the village or town. :Much more inter-
est would be taken in the improvement
of farm homes, if every earmer fully
expeeted to spend his days on the farm.
There la much ciiffereeee between the
improvement that looks only to coin -
mercial value, when selling is the only
object, and improvement made for the
comfort and happinees of the owner.
Many things considered as improve-
ments in this direetion by some have
no commercial value whatever in the
eyes of others. The improvement add-
ed to the farm by the owner, who
must make his living from it, will
often differ very much from that of
the owner who haa en income from oth-
er sources. When the farmer earns the
inaprovenaents as he goes along, they
are usually noticeable for their util-
ity, and are fully appreeiated. But if
'built for show, or because money is
plentiful, they too often become a bur-
den.
In the older sections of the country,
the first improvement should be in the
land itself, the other improvements fed -
lowing in course of time, as the pro-
ducts of the soil prove able to support
them. flea the part of wisdom to im-
prove the soil first, rather than put
on surface improvements in the way
of buildings and fences. The former
when once started is cumulative, and
in the hands of a farmer able to make
the start, the improvement is rapid
and profitable: The surface improve-
ments are not cumulative, in value,
but rather in expense. We pay taxes
on soil improvement only as the vol-
ume of crops is increased; on build-
ings erected, as soon as they can be
placed on the tax duplicate. It is not
unusual that these bec.orne a cum-
• ulative source of expense.
Farming will rest on a better basis
when every man farms for the love
of it and aims truly to leave the soil
'better than he found it; when the
farmer builds the home on the farm,
with the sole hatention of occupying
it while he lives. Most farmers strive
to have a bank account to draw on
when the infirmities of old age over-
take them. This is commendable; but
too often in this effort their farms
are robbed of fertility. Soil improve-
ment is entirely forgotten in the ef-
fort to secure the bank account. Thus
the poverty of the farm or the soil
of the farm sometimes makes strong
inroads on these expected accumula-
tions, with a resulting failure of ate
expected bank amount. We find the
farmer with a poor farm that will
not sustain him, and with no bank ac-
eount. He has robbed the soil with
no effort or thought to add to or sus-
tain its natural fertility, and when he
most needs help from the soil it is a
robber in turn, drawing from him the
declining strength of old age in his
efforts to 'make it yield him a sus-
tenance.
This is one of the unfortunate results
of failing to understand the necessity
of improving the soil, a feature of our
egrieulture that forces itself on the
attention of thinking men, and one
that will not change for the better
till farmers recognise the nece,ssity of
making soil impeovernent the busis of
their farm operations. One of the
saddest scenes to me is tO behold an
aged farmer's life close on a farm that
has been his lifelong home, and has
ceased to give him comfort and sus-
tenance, simiaay beenuse the land hes
always been robbed, and never fed or
bamrovect. The povery of such men is
the most distressing, and is at the same
timea lesson to young men who have
the opportunity to farm on or trtore in-
telligent basis. The question is tolitive
them understand the necessity' of start-
ing in the right way.
STRAW IN THE ORCHARD.
It oftenhappens that the farnter is
in doubt as to hew tb dispose of hie
surplus straw. He freqeently comes to
the conylusion that he should spread
it in the orchard, under the impres-
sion that it will ad 55 a mulch, then
decay. and become available to the
roots of his trees, 'Thic is a three -fold
mistake. First, the Straw, though

BEST BREEDS OF CHICKENS.
The difficulties of poultry raising
maY be overcome in a measure by the
judicious selection of a breed of low%
best suited to your surroundings. If you
have but a limited area and your flock
must be confined most of the time,
you should choose those breeds which
may be kept in confinement with best
results, The suburban residents pro-
duce a large proportion of the poul-
try and eggs censumed in this eountry.
The farmer, as a rule, keeps one flock
Ort a farm with less satisfaction than
he who takes care of one in confine-
ment. The best egg records are from
those Hooks which have been kept in
yards instead of having an eltogeth-
er free range. More labor is re-
quired, oe course to manage nooks in
eonfineraent, yet this is made up for
in the increased egg yield and saving
in the cost of the range.
Leghorns, Hanaburgs, Minoctras, Pol-
ish and Heudans are true rangers, and
an extra degree of care is needed to
Provide them with litter for scratch-
ing to satisfy their restless natures
where their rave is a small one. The
Plymouth Rocks and Wyandottes be-
long to the middle class, as it were,
and will give great satisfaction eith-
er for confinement aeon a free range.
The Brahmas and Cochins are strictly
fowls for confinement and will natur-
alle do better under that condition
than any other class.

"JACK, WHERE BE YE?"
Cruel Game Played In the Canipi or the
So f nil of peril is the lumberm,an's
life that even his sports must be spiced
with danger or they pall on his tastes.
On the long winter nights a cruel
ganee called "Jack • Where Be Ye?" is
sometimes played.. The middle of the
largest room in the camp. is cleared.
Two naen are securely blindfolded, and
having previously drawn lots for the
first, "whack," they kneel on the floor.
In his right band each man holds a
stout leather strap, at the end of
which is a heavy iron buckle. In the
left band of each man is held, by the
end, another leather steep or rope. The
left hands must either be kept on or
very near thd floor, and. the strap that
is held between them kept taut. This
guarantees a un.form distanoe between
the combatants. They are quite near
enough to hurt each other severely,
sometimes fatally.
Now the men who has been lucky
enough to draw the first call sings
out: "Jack, where be ye?" to which his
opponent must immediately answer.
"Here I be." Then the first man
strike e where he imagines his opponent
to be, with the heavy leather strap. If
he hits his man he is entitled to anoth-
er blow. may call out again. "Jack,
wherebe ye?" and the other must an-
swer, "Here I be." This may be con-
tinued until the first man misses.

QUEER RUSSIAN cusTom.
Of all the strange eustoras of foreign
nations those that strike us to be most
peculiar are the marriage custonas of
the Russian peasants. It is the aim
of every young peasant to acquire for
himself a wife that will be a suitable
aid both in the field and, in the kit-
chen, and he leaves the choice to his
parents. The beauty of the young
lady and her taste of dress and furni-
ture is little considered, but instead
the dispatch with which she can per-
form her (laity duties. And in the
• following peeuliar way her ability in
that line is obtained.
• The parents of the ,Young man decide
that a certain young lady would
na4ke a suitable mate for him. They
e
sir nothing about the raatter to any
one, but on some evening they will
drop around unexpectedly to the pros-
pective bride's home and will stay for
supper. During the meal they will
keep a close watch on the young lady.
If he eats fast she will perform her
is
everk speedily; if she goes neatly and
e anly about her plate she will per-
fo en her work neatly and cleanly; if
she does not talk much she Nvill work,
and not talk, and prove a faithful and
obedient wife to her litesband; if she
prefers rye bread to white she will be
satisfied with her lot; if she does not
gaze and stare at the visitors she will
be a wife that will not continually
pry into her husband's business, and if
she irnm?diately proceeds to clean up
the dishes after the meal she will
bring prosperity to her husband and
will be economical with his money.
Thus the fate of t.be young couple is
decided. Should she prove satisfac-
tory to the young man's parents, by
the above men lolled actiens, the par-
ents stay after supper, and close the
bargain with the young lady's parents
over a I ottle of good vodka.
.& most peculiar thing about the
nediriage eeremony is the fact that
e,elten the eouple enter the chureh both
gkoona and bride make a dash for the
pretform on which is the pulpit. It
isThelieved that the 'lane whose foot
touches the platform first evill live the
longer, and that the children will
take after that one in size, health and
beauty.
The festivities last three days, dur-
ing which all friends and relatives
celebrate a holiday. The bride is
adorned in a bandana of the brightest
hue and with ribbons of all colors and
shades. The groom bas a new fur
hat and a skin overcoat tied with a
belt of brightest red. The marriages
generally take place in the fall, after
the harvest has been gathered.

'e0T..111,TING THEN AND NOW.
143 the past when a young man went
a-cqurting he dressed in his best, wear..
not only his company clothes, hilt
lale company manners. The girl, oil
the other hand, was powdered and
erimpled out of all everyday knowing,
and they sat and talked of soulful
things and didn't find out a bit more
of each other's real selves than If
one had been in the. Klondike and the
other on the equator. Neither was
consciously trying to deceive the other.
but all the same, after they were
married there were many cruel dis-
illusionme.nts. To the new fad for
athletics for women we owe a change.
The girl who goes out aewheelinge,
with her beau, and takes the rain and
SUR and dust and wind and tan may,
notr be a divinity to him like the
parlor maiden, but shei is a human girl,
an he has a chance to know her and
jege her on that basis. If she still
appears beautiful to him tali he is
still in love with her, she has nothing
to fear from fading good looks or
wearing curl papers and wrappers to
breakfast; NvhiIe if he still appears
heroic to her in knickerbockers and
a sunburnt nose she may rest satis-
fied that hen love is founded an a rock
that nothing can shake.
Aside from this view of the subject
is the far more important one of
claaraeter. A woman's parlor views of
life may be merely theories that shO
lacks the strength and courage tO
put into actual praetice, and hence
utterly *worthless. The real w3137 tot
know a woman is to go on an oating
with her. If she can be cheerful in
the face of difficulties and can Make
allowances for Mistakes and failuree,
if she can accept a sabetitute for the
thing she wants with good grace, then,
indeed, she is of the kind and qeallity,
that will make her eompertieeoshiel
a )ifelong pleasure and benefit. The
woman, on her pert, has en equally
good chance to study a, man. She see411
