From manufacturer to consumer. Remember that we are the only midleman between yourself and the manufacturer. We desire to call your special attention to the Hard Wear Brussels. The strong point of these carpets is their durability. The patterns are neat, small, unobtrusive in a wide range of desirable colorings.

Almost 10,000 yards of new wool ingrains have been added to our stock within the past few days. Lowell, Hartford, Ivens, Bromley and all the famous ingrain weaves are to be found here, at the lowest prices in this or any other market. That there is to be an advance in carpets is evident on account of scarcity of wool and the high price of yarn. You will not only Dave the cream to select from but make quite a saving in the prices.

A thousands window shades are all made up with the most 'improved spring rollers, in all kinds of materials from 9c piece upwards.

Linoleum. he present this season the largest stock of inlaid and printed linoleums Bedding Department. We have parted with almost 100 OSTERMOOR mattresses and have heard nothing but praise for them from their new owners.

While many dealers claim to nave a mattress just as good as the Ostermoor, yet a trial soon convinces one that there is nothing like an Ostermoor for comfort and good night's rest. We do not confine ourselves to the Ostermoor. We have other mattresses at less price. Anything in the mattress line can be found in our bedding department, that is worth selling. Our iron and brass beds are somewaat crowded on the second floor but we hope to have soon a larger room for the exhibition of this growing department.

Last night, it is understood, Detective Lowe called at one of the hotels in the city at about 10:30 o'clock and walking up to the proprietor requested admittance to the bar room.

It was given and the room was filled with men. What the outcome is will be watched with interest. A monstrosity in the shape of a deformed calf was to-day sent to the veterinary department of the University of Pennsylvania, by Veterinary Ralph Dunn. says The Courier of Titusville. The animal was born with its head and teet together, the spine being inwardly and the head being between the hind legs.

such formed animal was perhaps ever before born and it will no doubt be an interesting object for study at the university.

You want to get that book of axioms down and get next to that glass house and "dornick" story.

a well-known resident of this city. and the event was celebrated in a modest yet effective manner. About 50 of Mr. Swartz's friends gathered at his home on Walnut street, last evening, to remind him that they nad not forgotten the event, and they also left him a beautiful chair when they left. The evening was spent in games, music and dancing, and a sumptuous luncheon was served.

It was a very happy occasion. A new order has just been promulgated by the postoffice department and all mail clerks have been given strict orders to hold up mail matter decorated with stamps that have been torn or mutilated. no matter how careful the surgery employed to remedy the defects. All this transpires in a recent publication of the postoffice department, which is, in effect, a manual of instructions on doing business with that branch of the government, In this book particular stress is laid on the prohibition of the use of defaced or mutilated stamps. A new bunco game is being worked.

A stranger disguised as an honest farmer enters a newspaper office and says. "I want to subscribe for your paper." He leaves his address and the service commences. After he has received 117 issues a bill is sent to the next mail brings back to the editor a card marked "refused." The editor digs his toes into the plaster behind his desk and cusses out the amount. It is a good joke on the ink-splotched whelp and serves him right.

Down with editors. Our correspondent writes that a Farm and Home company of Allegneny, has purchased the A. B. Greenfield. Crawford county, farm in Conneaut township upon which they propose to immediately erect an extensive pasteurizing station for preparing milk for the Pittsburg trade.

The farm located on the Erie Pittsburg road. The company is the largest engaged in the milk business in the city with an increasing trade to such an extent that they promise to accept and dispose of 50 tons of milk per day from this section, if it can be secured. While they will remodel the buildings on the farm recently purchased and establish an extensive dairy, they propose to purenase milk at prices that will net the farmers from 25 to 45 cents per hun- Dr. F.

Ed. Trace, against Charles P. Britton. of the Gable house. The 'squire holds that according to the evidence.

there was not sufficient cause to warrant holding the defendant to court. As will be remembered the suit was brought by Mrs. Trace against Mr. Britton for selling liquor to her son. The action of the 'squire settles the matter as far as this particular case is concerned, but it is understood that another warrant be issued and that the matter will likely be taken direct before the grand jury.

KUMYSS. WHAT IS IT? "Kumyss is meat and drink at said a trained nurse. It is claimed that many diseases can be cured by a diet of it, and it is certain that the sick whether in infancy or age may subsist on it when all other diets are rejected. It produces no bad results but brings a sense of refreshment and renewed strength. The benefit derived from kumyss has been especially noticed in wasting diseases where constant building of the waste must be effected without entailing extra work for the feeble digestion.

It supplies this need by giving the nourishment in a cool grateful drink which is pleasing to the taste and readily absorbed. The value of this kind of food was understood hundreds of years ago and 115e was universal. In Russia it is valued so highly in the cure of various disorders that sanitariums where the kumyss is used are numerous.
