If you have a carpet that looks dingy and you wish to restore it to its original freshness , make a stiff lather of Ivory Soap and warm water and sciub it , width by width , with the lather. Wipe with a clean damp sponge. Do not apply more water than necessary. The vegetable oils of which Ivory Sonp is made , and its purity , fit it for many special uses for which other soaps are unsafe and uns.itbfactory.

In Manila , where there Is nn Interesting ield open to the naturalist , the natives mvo a queer substitute for glass , i elates ho New York Sun. It Is a bivalve shell of about nine Inches of suiface , bo transpar ent that pilnt can readily bo seen tluough t and admitting a mellow light In a room vhero It Is Uheel as window glass. The shell Is nn * attractive object , perfectly stialght and In appearance resembles Isin glass. Ono could almost Imagine that It was some Bkllfull Invention of the natives could lot the growth rings bo readily observed. The outer sldo of tUo shell Is perceptibly ough , while the Interior Is perfectly glazed over and in the light has the pearly luster 'on ml In many of the thin-shelled oyster- ike mollusks of the tropics. sTho shell Is the ilncuna placentla of science nnd is well tnown In China , the common name being the Chinese window ojster. It Is employed there also for windows and used in lan- teuis. The Chinese grind up the shell nnd naKo from It the silver paint so common n their water colors. The bivalve Is very common in the Philippines nnd forms a very good and cheap substitute for glabs ; ono that Is extremely Ingenious and suggestive of the value of shells. All shells have a value as curiosities and thousands of dollars arc expended jcaily In all pails of the woild to keep up the sup ply for the many curiosity stores. The great center of this trade Is the South Pa- clflo , where shells nro collected by the na tives and bought up by the tiaders who sail among these Islands for the purpose. The number of persons engaged In the col lection of shells Is not geiiei.illy realized and large prices are paid for rare shells or even now species. At ono tlrao the orange cowry brought a fabulous price and wealthy collectois have agents constantly on the lookout for rare specimens. Aside from their Ube ns curloblties , many shells have a decided value. A single Cey lon fishery produced $80,000 worth of pearls In ono year , to obtain which the native divers handled 17,000,000 ojsters. The So ciety islands alone have been known tc send out twenty-five tons of pearl oyster ? } early. These find n market at Liverpool , while from Manila thirty-eight tons of the black-tipped shells have been iccelved. The common fresh water mussels , formerly des pised , contain valuable pearls , $ " > 0,000 wortli having been token from the Scottish lakej nnd streams during ono summer some jears ago. The King of clams , the gient trld- acna , hab several values. It Is sometimes used ns n receptacle for holy water Ir churches. In Africa the cowry known as sypiaeo moneta is used as money amont certain tribes and n Liverpool firm In one jear sent to Africa more than sixty tons o : the bhe-lls This was one of the most re- maikablo corners ever known. It wni learned that the shell was the money nmont certain tribes and the whites in questlor DOES COFFEE AGREE WITH YOU ?
