A NEW FLOOR COVEMNO.
Among the fresher novelties for tha
housekeeper is the reversible rubber
msr or carpet. The fabric consists of
n tiu sheet of perforated rubber cloth,
similar to that used in the manufac
ture of boots. The yarn is forced
through the little holes. ' It is then
automatically spread on both sides of
the rubber sheeting, and the rug it
manufactured. The strong features
of the product are its durability and
its reversibility ; also its low cost of
manufacture. In appearance it looks
exactly like a moquette or other pile
fabric, and only an examination would
reveal the difference in structure.

CHEMISTBT OF THK BAKED POTATO.
Usually the first vegetable prescribed
by the physician for the sick person)
who is beginning to use solids is a baked
potato. A baked potato, however, may!
be no better than a boiled one unless
it be done in so high a temperature
that the starch is affected. Boiled
potatoes can not be subjected to a'
higher temperature than 212 degrees
Fahrenheit. Baked potatoes may bo
done m such a way that they are but
a little better than boiled for in
stance, done in a slow oven." On the
other hand if they are put into a tem
perature of 380 to 400 degrees Fahren
heit, or what is called a "hot oven,"
they will be done in such a manner
that the conversion of starch will in a
degree take place and the potato be
consequently palatable and easily di
gested. Potatoes roasted in hot ashes
or embers are delicious and for tne'
same reason. The high degree of heat
cooks the starch properly. New York

'SENSIBLE TOILET COVERS.
If a room needs new toilet covers
after the spring house cleaning, make
them from white cotton point d'esprit
laid over a color, and edge each piece
with frill of the same, run with baby
ribbons. A set seen recently was of
white over pale orange. Gut a piece of
white muslin or cheesecloth the size
of the top of the dresser, and other
places for which you want the covers,
lay over them a thin layer of cotton
sprinkled with violet powder, then
tack on a covering of colored sateen.
Cut the piece of lace considerably
larger than the linings, and catch the
extra fulness here and there to the
lining, so that, when finished, the lace
will lay up lightly and have a slightly
crumpled look. Make a wide frill of
the lace, turn in a wide hem, and over
the hem and just above it sew on the
baby ribbon. Set on the frill with a
heading. Make a cover for your pin
cushion, if you use one, in the same
way, but without any lining. New

-
For a person who was about to do
cooKing the conduct of Miss; Augusta
v an Jiitten . seemed incomprehensible.
Somebody has said though, thai wo
man is an enigma; - ' .
But what could there be enigmatical
aooui a simple young country girl,
scarcely out of her teens, and reared
in the bucolic atmosphere of a place
like Chesterville?
To avoid any appearance of being
ouwuu ,j ucreiup u mystery we will
state tho facts of the case as simply as
possible. -
Robert Van Etten, the head of the
family, and brother of the two girls,
was engaged in business In Phila
delphia, from which city Chesterville
was distant some fifty miles; and
being himself married, the girls were
left a good deal to their own devices.
Robert's . experience of matrimony
fed him to consider that it was an ex
cellent thing for everybody, and as
his sisters were rather isolated where
they lived, he took every opportunity
ol bringing them in contact with
young men of a desirable character.
Tho letter this morning had an
nounced tht Sir. Seymour, a friend
of Mr. Van Etten'?, as well connected
as he was well-to-do, would call to pay
his respect when passing through
Chesterville, on hi bicycle, and it
bespoko for him a hearty welcome.
Mr. Seymour was 'due, the letter
ttated, Tuesday morning, arid as thif
wan Tuesday the reason of Mi Vn
Etten'rf acquiescence in her sister's
visiting arrangement, and her own
elaborate toilet making, explain them
selves. As for Ausnsta. her ftorn1ni
was pardonable. Derhan. for she wo.
a year her sister s senior. TTei
conscience was doubtless easy on that
point, which also amounts to a good
deal. At anv rata Ane-nsta felt ti4
her appearance, when ' she descended
a. a 1 . i
to tue parior to await the arrival ol
Mr. Seymour was about as satisfactory
as couia oe wished, a reflection quite
conductive' to her fuller peace of mind,
Seated near the window, Miss Va
1
Etten commanded a view down th
road leading to tho village, and final
lv, a little before noon, she had tht
pleasure of seeing the gleam of steel
fixings in the sunshine, and a young
man astride of a trim looking "safety
rapidly approaching the cottage. Mist
Vftx Etten surveyed the stranger crit
ically as he descended from his TrfeycH
and strode with an athlete's easj
grace of movement up to the porch oi
the front door.
"Ring-a-ting" went the bell, and
Augusta listened for the coming of th
maid to answer it.
No maid materialized, and the bell
was rung again a little louder.
Miss Van Etten rose from her seat
and went to the door.
A young man was bowing profusely
to her when she opened it.
"Miss Van Etten, I presume?' the
handsome young man said, promptly.
"Yes, Mr.' Seymour," retaliated the
young lady adding at once, "Come
in Mr. Seymour. I received a letter
from my brother in Philadelphia this
morning, - stating that you would be
here to-day. Please take a seat."
The young athlete dropped com
fortably into an inviting chair, re
sponding "Yes Philadelphia broth
erdelighted, and so forth among
the polite rejoinders.
"JJoesnt bicycling fatigue one
dreadfully?" asked Miss Van Etten,
as soon as she had scolded the girl for
her tardiness and found her own seat.
"Not those, who are used to it. You
do not ridei yourself, Miss Van
Etten?" -
"I am afraid Chesterville would be
shocked out of its senses if one of its
female inhabitants dared to do such a
thing."
"And yet such a charmingly pic
turesque place, too!"
' 'Yes, Chesterville was rather pretty, "
Miss Van Etten conceded.
. "Wasn't it rather dull sometimes?"
"Yes, terribly so."
"Were the neighbors sociable who
were they, and what were their
names?"
Before -Miss Van Etten was con
scious of her actions she was giving a
detailed description of her neighbors,
and her caller was listening as intently
as if he really intended making his
home in Chesterville.
His attentiveness was really flatter
ing, to say nothing else. The more he
led her to talk the more charming
Misfi Van Etten considered him.
He was evidently encouraging her
in order to lengthen his calL But
that was not at all unpleasant. After
t he neighbors had been exhausted the
conversation drifted to favorite au
thors. It was surprising to see what a
similarity existed in their tastes.
I he conversat ion was so animated
that another wheelman. aptroachinff
. - o
the cottage was scarcely noticed by
the busy couple.
A commonplace looking man dis
mounted from his bicycle, put a pack
age under his arm. and walked up to
the front door.
"It is one of those horrid book
agents, 1 know," remarked Miss Van
Etten, as she caught a glance of , the
newcomer through the window.
d 'thoiiHul she rose
the door to intercept the
malt., wttf was going to answer th
bell.-;.V:-';' -wv.'.-
"Nc.Vme at home, mind, Clara I" she
said firrhiy to the girl. "I don't wish
to be interrupted."
A minute later the man retraced his
steps down to the gate, strapped his
package back on the machine, mount
ed, land rode off quietly down the
road
' "Those book agents are a perfect
nuisAnce, " commented Miss Van Etten.
"Intolerable," replied her vis-a-vis,
prombtly, adding, "as a rule they
travel around with third-class publica
tions, land are so deficient in mannet
as tobore people insufferably. II
they fcmld only sell first-class works
and djAduct themselves correctly, it
would Ife very different. "
Miss Van Etten acquiesced amiably.,'
The subject of favorite books was!

"Yob have seen the new society
novel, Ipresume," enquired the Phil
adelphhiu. Miss Van Etten had not
been so fortunate. A dive iuto the
bicyclinf costume, and from some in
ner receitaele tho young man brought
aa a V.
lortu a Jieatiy round volume, which
he handed to. Miss Vau Etten.
"Phes are only some of the illus
trations,', he remarked, carelessly;
"the volimes have been gotten out in
the moetisnperb style. To tell you the
truth, Miss Van Etten, the author is a
most particular friend of mine, and I
am so enthusiastic about the success
of his wotk that I am actually playing
the roll ?! an amateur book-agent. I

hobby, an4 just for fun, make them
all sign a !contract to take the book
and help iwell tho bank -account, as
well as increase tho reputation of my
friend, the inthor. I your case, I see
that you aie such an enthusiast over
his works, i shall ocarcely have to in

"With thi greatest of pleasure, Mr.
Seymonr -;
The youn ; man handed a slip ol
paper to Mim Van Etten to sign, to
which she prnnptly affixed her signa
ture with , the stylographic pen pro
duced by hej. visitor.
"I am awf illy obliged. Now I shall
have to apologize for having stayed so
long, and get upon my wheel again for
a five mile spin to Harrisburg. So de
lighted to have met you. When will
you be in Philadelphia? May I have
the pleasure f seeingyou again, some
time? Yout brother must arrange it
somehow, l im delighted with Ches

Why do we have, to leave such pleaa-

Miss Van Eften was blushing. The"re
WJts a .hasty touch of the 11 users, alow
bow, elaborate! to almost the length
of the garder path, and the book

in my walk . and, well, Mr. Seymour

too, which in his haste he fortrok to
leave, and he would not allow me to
bring it back, so accompanied me to
deliver it in person. It is a birthday
present ior you irom llobert."
Miss Augusta Van Etten stood stu
pidly staring at the speaker, her sis
ter, for fully a couple of minutes be
fore an idea began to dawn upon her
befogged comprehension.
Then she managed to gasp hysteri
cally: "Mr. Seymour." '
"Is there anything so terrible, look
ing about your brother's friend?
Can't you ask him to sit down ? Have
you seen a ghost, or has a witch gone
riding by on a broomstick, or wha
has happened."
"Oh, nothing," gasped ' Miss Vac
Etten, as she sank bak into a chair,
her ' anticipated guest and her sietei
Netta having seated themselves.
What did you say about a lunatic?"
cried the elder Miss Van Etten, trying
to cover up her absolute bewilder
ment and chagrined feelings.
"Mr. Seymour, jpleaso give my si
ter an account ot that jndividnil'l
actions from whom yoa were kind
enough to rescue- me. "
'A rather good looking young -man
on a bicycle "
Miss Van Etten the elder alnfost ut
tered a shriek, .
"Mei your sister at a lonely part ol
the road, between the two villages and
had tha audacity, not only to address
her, which by the way he did by ner
correct name, but to insie-t that he
knew her and that he had spent an
hour or more with her to-day previous
to meeting her again." ,
4 'I happened to come on the scene
and just at the time the man was put
ting his hand into his clothing, as we
both surmised to get some weapon, I
caught him a blow which apparently
brought him to lm senses, for after
looking at us both ror a few seconds
with a bewildered air, he jumped on
his bicycle and rode away at the top
of his speed." - v
"But he wasn't feeling for a wea
pon !" interposed Miss Van Etten.
"Pray, how. do you know?"
"He was simply going to show you
the illustrations of the latest society
novel."
"What on earth do you mean,
Augusta?"
"That I am the greatest idiot on
earth and thit our resemblance to
each other caused the misunderstand
ing which led to your' adventure.
The person you saw ( ailed here and 1
believed him to be Mr. Seymour, who
l was expecting as I had been advisee!
of his visit by Robert, which, by the
by, I forgot to tell you about."
"3o it seems."
"Believing it to be Mr. Seymour, )
chatted with him for over an hour.
Oh, the baseness of .that hisd, th
cold-blooded villainy of book-agents!
He led me on in my delusion in tht
most wanton manner, and induced me
to even sign. a contract to take a copy
of the book from ll I m n tVaa ilnn.vlk

"I even went so far, surmising that
it was Mr. Seymour I was talkiug to,
to send out word to the real Mr. Sey

home," sobbed Augusta. . ,
"What an awful disappointment you
have had, and how fortunate it was
that I was out and happened to meet
Mr. Seymonr. We have arranged to
go fishing this afternoon, won't you
come with us, Augusta, dear?"

Don't Blame the Cook
If a baking powder is not uniform in strength, '
.o that the same quantity will always do the same
'work, no one can know how to use it, and uni
formly good, light food cannot be produced with it.
All baking powders except Royal, because
improperly compounded and made from inferior
materials, lose their strength quickly when the can
is opened for use. . At subsequent bakings there
will be noticed a falling off in strength. The food
is heavy, and the flour, eggs and butter wasted.
It is always the case that the consumer suffers;
-in pocket, if not in health, by accepting any sub
stitute for the Royal Baking Powder. The Royal .
is the embodiment of all the excellence that it is
possible to attain in an absolutely pure powder
It is always strictly reliable. It is not only more
economical because of its greater strength, but
will retain its full leavening power, which no
.other powder will, until used, and make more
wholesome food.
A Worthy an I Wise Sentiment.
Bafore Cardinal ' Manning, of Eng
Unl, died, he delivered two messagei
to the care of a phonograph. One
was for the peoplo and tho other for
posterity.. The latter was as follows:
"To all who com) after me: I hope
ihfit no words of mine, written or
spoken in my life, will bo found to
have dv.no harm to any one after I am
dead. Henry Edward Manning, Car
dinal Archbishop." Not an original
sentiment, but a worthy and wise one,
and one to which men of lesser not
than a cardinal might well aspire.

Terhaps it in moro interesting than
strictly useful to know that tbe diam

summer to "winter, but from day to
day. They are larger from noon un

dawn to noon; they are smaller in
winter than in summer. Low tern
pernturos, as well ns high, promote
evaporation. The trees evaporate
