•V FEW HINTS FROM AN OLD HOUSE
KEEPER.
I want to gt new carpets for our two front
chambers, an* from loug experience aud ob
servation, I have decided to get "Turkey car
pet,'' as we used to say in my yonng days.
Husband thinks Brussels or velvet would be
as cheap, or cheaper,'.than most other kinds,
being so thick and close that it would never
wear out.
Now, there are two sides, you know, to I
this question, and when the handsome side is
worn out, there is an end of it. Sol shall
split the difference, and lake the money left
over from my favorite Ingrain, and buy a
handsome bureau for Jeanette. I know hus
band won't care when he sees how nicely our
two rooms look carpeted alike, as Jeanette
says they should be, with good Ingrain, (all
wool). If you want a serviceable carpet, and
one that looks neat and ornamental, get an
f Ingrain is good, bat three-ply better,
and though more costly, i 3 the cheaper one
in the end. —ED] .
I profess to be somewhat acquainted with
the carpet family, and because ot their dust
and untidiness, husband and I have concluded
to exclude them from onr dining or living
room. In a family of a half dozen growing,
rampant, romping boys and girls, that are
frequently practicing "heel and toe" in all its
variations in heavy soled boots, or breaking
off into the more graceful waltz or schot
tische, nothing is so appropriate as a good,
oldfashioned oak floor, swept clean, and mop
ped over every morning with an ample house
cloth.
Carpets are well enough in the room where
father, mother, and the tamer members wish
to pursue their more quiet occupations of
reading writing, and sewing.
Rag carpets, well put together with cotton
chain, S3 we used to have them, were, on
account of their durability, tolerated, but the
rag carpets of to-day, with hemp chain, as
well as all manner of hemp carpets, are the
most expensive, because the least durable of
any carpets in use. The "German" carpets,
with bright showy stripes of chain, all wool,
and a heavy filling of coarse hemp thread, al
though appearing to be heavy and servicea
ble, are really a very unserviceable carpet,
showing the dust and lint, requiring frequent
sweepings, and wearing out sooner than so
expensive a carpet should. So all entry and
stair carpets, filled in with coarse hemp, al
though appearing handsome and heavy,
really wear but poorly on account of the
ridges of herd hemp beneath the soft wool
chain.
Light colors, either in wearing apparel or
carpets, wear much better than dark. Neatly
blended figures, covering the fabric evenly
and connecting the plies closely, render a
carpet more durable. In sweeping carpets,
nse a fine broom that has been but little worn
skim over the surface with a light, short, airy
brush, without making a scrubbing noise or
one like a carpenter sawing pineboard3. Fre
quent sweeping wears a carpet more than the
tramping. It is a good way to clean the room
up with a turiaey wing in one hand and dust
pan in the other, going over it whenever dust
or lint appears, sweeping, or rather tanning,
the dust into the dnst pan. This saves it
from the severer wear of the broom. There
is an art in sweepings as well as in most
other housekeeping' operations. Some seem
to think that raising the dust is of more im
portance than raising the wind or windows,
aud that making a big stir generally is the
ouly way to clean a room, and let the dust all
settle again from whence it camc.
A few well cultivated plants in the sunny
windows of your sitting-room give a cheerful
air, but remember that a window full of plants
crowded in so as to exclude the air and the
"sweet 6unshine," is rather a nuisance than
an ornament.
Do not let the fear of fading carpets lead
you to fade the rosy tints from the human
flowers about you that are of more value than
many carpets.— American Agriculturist.
MARCH.
The coming of this month brings the re
newed stir and activity of pressing work, or
the preparation for work soon to be underta
ken. March is a month of work from New
England to Texas. The early part is usually
the last of the winter, even in Maine, and
over most ol the Union farmers are hauling
manure, plowing, setting fences, and engaged
in other field work before its close. The win
ter has been a very cold one, up to the time
of our going to press. Where much snow
has lain, winter grains and fields newly laid
down to grass will be benefited, but where
the ground has been bare, the deep freezing
of the soil, and the exposure of the plants to
both cold and heat before it thaws, will be
likely to iniure both grain and grass, and ren
der the application of some "hand manure"
very desirable. After so severe a wiuter an
early spring is anticipated. This is rejoiced
in by most farmers, but it is accompanied by
many more dangers to fruit trees and field
crops than when the cold holds on, and the
warm weather, coming later, is subject to
few or no great fluctuations of temperature.
Loamy or clayey soils should never be work
ed before they are so thoroughly dried as not
to pack before the plow in pasty clods; and
no seeds, except those of grass and clover
sowed upon winter grain, should be commit
ted to the soil before it is warm and mellow.
The error of too early plowing is a common
one; everybody wants to be at work in the
spring, and no one really feels as if he had
begun farming before he smells the fresh
earth and sees the long furrows turned. So
we get the manures spread and the plows at
work, often enough when the plowman's feet
are loaded with pounds of sticky clay, and
water even stands in the farrows in the low
spots. TitU U all wrong, for thus we burden
ourselves with the care of rough, cloddy fields
which will hardly get in good tilth before
autumß.—American Agriculturist.

A gentleman who came from New York in a

morning, remarked, when the conductor took

HERE is a boy who understands preaching,
lie lives in Chicago, and went to church with
his father, and heard the minister urge that
Christians should be active for Christ. 'They
serve him not with breath alone, but also with
the hands and feet.' On the way home the
paternal asked the lad if he understood any
thing in the sermon.
'Oh, yes ! I hesr preaching now a days."
'Well, what did you hear this morning?'
'The minister said we should stop blowing
j and go to work.'
MISUNDERSTOOD THE TEXT.—A worthy dea

church-going—to accompany the family to
church, on the first Sabbath of his stay,
t pon their return to the deacon's house,
he asked his hired man how he liked the
preaching. He replied:
"I don't like to hear any minister preach
politics.''
"I am very sure you heard no politics to
day," said the deacon.
"I am sure that I did," said the man.
"Mention the passages," said the deacon.
"I will. He said,' 'if the Republicans scarce
