jTHE MAIL A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

"COME, THE FIRE IS BUILT." What woman boars that, these cold winter mornings, who does not wish it was no concern of here And what an array of moral worth and dovotion is represented by tho unsung army who respond to this call. Thero is a great deal said in history about Leonidas and his Spartans at tho celebrated pass of Tliorrnopylon, but there are domestic pauses which take as much courage to defend unshrinkingly, as did that, about which nobody says a word. There are I wrinkles ana grey hairs enough contained in the over recurring query of "what shall we eat?" but the breakfast ita winter, especially if there be a fidgety randmother or a fussy man or two, is the worst of it all. When a certain voice is heard calling up the stai rs, disturbing ,^ho housewife's visions and dreams, she ifinows what it means. If that voice ihould syllable forth "Wellington and

Waterloo," she would know that it meant come, tho fire is built," and shape her ouree aooordingly. Sho shiveringly eps from her blankets into the cold orld for the live thousandth time and pins and buttons with numb fin 'erH, mentally running over what the 'house contains to eat that is available for A hurried meal. Down sho comes into tho half warm big kitchen which is rendered cheerless by the debris of tire building, looso pop corn and cobs from last night's rioting, chaff, and the bootjack where Hen drew off his boots, apple barings from grandpa's evening lunch, find a general hurly burly of papers, books, (Tothes. lamps, etc. In the course of half an hour, tho horn is tooted, and in come the men, cold from tho choring, to find everything cosy and tidy, a warm room, a smoking hot breakfast, and a oheorful woman, who pationtly fries oakes (while tho rest eat,) and never dreamy of doing otherwise. This worn an is a conqueror but you do not dream of it. And why don't you Why don't you look out for chancos to say, "What good breakfast," "This coffee is prime," instead of showing off your critical mind in another more depressing direction, Much as "cukesa little tough, "what ails this coffee,'' cto.

HOW TO CHOOSE A CARPET. "Nonsense!" exclaims Mrs. Allright as sho reads this heading: "just as if every housekeeper did not know how to chooso a carpet! Let her tell us how to procure the money to buy one, and we'll thank her for the information!"

Ah! my friend, perhaps you do know just how to select a pretty, durable and excellent carpet, but does it follow that Mrs. Flurry, your next door neighbor, understands the secret? And then it is an easy matter to select a carpet, if you can replace it next year with another should your selection prove unsatisfactory but if we must exercise economy as well as discretion and taste, then comes "the tug of war."

French moquette and English Brussels are the beat carpets to wear, and will give the greatest satisfaction. Aubusson, Axminster and Turkey are equally good, but their price is of course high.

Tapestry Brussels is not as desirable as good three-ply ingrain, because when the gay figures wear off there is nothing left but nemp which is far worse than an all-wool ingrain of good quality. A poor, "slimpsy" carpet is not worth the making ana putting down, except in rooms that are only kept for visitors and used on rare occasions and even then a handsome Chinese matting is to be preferred. And in choosing the matting the best quality is tho cheapest in the end, for one that costs sixty to seventyfive cents per yard is far more desirable than one that can be had for thirty-five or forty cents. Of course the expense at first is higher, but then we must consider tho expense of making and putting down and bear in mind that after two vears wear the more exjx nsive carpeting is often of more value than the cheaper one when first laid upon the floor.

Again, in purchasing a drugget or floor cloth, three yards square, you may have to pay from $lf to $18 for the handsome quality, while a hempen one, stamped with quite a pretty pattern, can be had for from $7 to $9. Now, do not take the cheap one. For a year it may look well, but by the next autumn it is worn and shabby, while tho expensive one is as good as tho day it was laid down, and it will outlast three of the cheap patterns.

Sometimes we can come across bar gains and buy carpets of excellent quality at a low price but unless we are experienced shoppers it is nover welt to trust to our own judgment in such matters, and it rarely happens happens that we can purchase such articles belo* their real market value except at auWions and even then we are likely to bo taken in. It is a far better way to go to the carpet rooms of some well known dealer, and then make our selections according to the depth of our purse.

The most durable carpots are closely woven and thick, yet soft and pliable and in real Knglish brussels the colors can be distinguished on the wrong side, but in tho "tapestry" thero is nothing but hemp.

Tho beauty of a carpet is quite as irn portant as its durability, and it should of a kind that will not tire tho oyes Most of us purchase a carpet hoping that it will last sevoral years, and desiring it to bo appropriate for all seasons. Now, the gorgeous designs that fill tho carpet rooms and adorn the floors of the elegant houses may bo very beautiful, but unloss wo can change them frequently ono soon tires of such styles.

COLD FEET. London Lancet.

It is, as wo havo often laborod to show a mistake to suppose there is an warmth in clothes. Animal heat is tlio direct esult of changes fjoing on within the body itself. Nutrition bo food and the discharge of energy by oxorciso are the efficient causes of neat. Clothes "seem" good and warm because they prevent tho cold air and objects with capacity for hoat which surround the body from attracting tho hoat generated within its organism. The clothing is simply an insulator. It follows that it should be light in weight, and above all things that it should permit the free and full circulation of blood through overy part of the systom—to tho end of overy finger and toe—and that the muscular apparatur of tho extremities should be in perfect working order. If we will wear foot coverings, whether boots or stockings, which compress the feet and render tho separate action of each toe impossible, it is simply absurd to expect to bo warm footed. Hoat is th« complement of work and nutrition, and if a part of tho organism is so bound that it cannot work, and its supply of food is limited, it must be cold. Tho resort to stouter and heaver clothing is simply ridiculous. Generally it is the stockings that compress tho foot. Tho garter acts a ligature, and diminishes the blood supply, while tho stocking itself acts as a bandage, and impedes the circulation through tho extremities.

HE 7X)OK THE CUE.

A jolly clergyman of Rondout, N. Y., has two sons, ooth bright, obedient, and well trained lads, but mischievous and fun loving as boys can bo. It is tho custom of the father to havo his boys learn a verso of scripturo everyday, and recite it each morning. In accordance with this custom a few days since the boys wero called upon by their fathor to repeat their, verses for the day. It happoned to bo a time when tho skating was good, a sport of which all activo boys ate devotees, and tho boys naturafly burned with eager desire to be off to tho frozen field, lint discipline must be maintained, as thev well knew, and tlioro was no escapa from the daily scripturo recitation. The older of tho beys had learned his text and was ready for the ordeal, and when asked to repeat it promptly replied: "I had rather bo a doorkeeper in the house of my God than to dwell in the tents of wickedness," and he "slid out," happy at his release. Tho younger lad had quite forgotten to learn his text, but his wit camo to his rescue. "So would I, father,"heshouted, and off he went to join his brother. There is reason to believe that parental discipline in this case will be suffered to relax in the father's appreciation and enjoyment of his hopeful's quick wit.

NICEST HOTEL IN NASHVILLE. Courier-J ournal.

I am quartered in the fourth story- It is awful high up for me, and I will tell you how it happens. I interviewed the managers and ail the clerks in regard to the rates of the house. "We can give you a suite of rooms upon the parlor floor for 5100 a week." I mildly interrupted him here with tho remark that I just knew that my salary would not al low me to pay such a price. "Well, then, we can give you a room on the second: floor for J40 per week." I asked him to go up higher and down lower. "Well, we have nice rooms on the third floor. A room like you now occupy we can put you in at $21 a week." I pointed upward. "The rooms on the fourth floor are very comfortable. We can give you one of them for $10 a week." I asked him if there was any difference in the fare if I located on the fourth floor, and hesmiled and said "No."

I then thought that .the fifth story would suit me just as well, and asked him about tho prices of rooms on that floor. He said: "The contractor of the house neglected to put on a fifth story, Is there anything else?" "No I guess I'll take a room on the fourth floor."

The bell boy showed me up, and on the way imparted the very agreeable information that the beds on tho fourth floor were as good as any in the house, and then added the disagreeable opinion, "But if the house was to catch on fire, do eople on de fourth floor would have a ell of a time getting out alive, kaso it was so high up.

But it is a nice house. All the bi fine looking gentlemen of tho South who come to the city stop here.

THE BELL ROPE ON TRAINS. l'aterson (N. J.) Proas. Capt. Ayres,'whose death at a groat age was noted reoently, was the inventor of tho present bell rope system on railroads. When he commenced running on tho New York and Erie railroad tho locomo tive had no cab for the engineer—nothing but a framework. There was no way to go over the cars nor for the engineer to communicate with the conductor when the train was in motion. In those days, instead of the conductor running tho train tho engineer had entire charge, and the conductor was a more collector of fares and tickets. In 1842 Ayres inaugurated a system of signals by a cord running over the cars to tho engine, where it was attached to a stick of wood. Ayres' engineer, a Dutchman named Hamill, resented the innovation, cut the stick looso, and the conductor and engineer had a fight at Turner's over the matter. Ayres whipped his engineer badly, and thereafter conductors, and not engineers, have bad charge of trains. Soon after tho bell rope and gong wont into"general use.

On the way to school he mot a lady. "Good morning, little boy," sho said 'what is your name?" "Johnny Smith, yes, sir, no, sir.

In view of these facts, it Is only necessary to say that The Inter Ocean will maintain tliis position by continuing in the straightforward course that has mado it so many friends among Republicans everywhere, and thai has given it a reputation for courageous fairness and journalistic zoal and enterprise.

It will insist 011 a party policy essentially stalwart, believing that tho interests of all sections aud the welfare of all classcs will be best conserved by a close adherence to the fuudameutal principles of Republicanism.

It will maintain its present attitude in favor of protecting American industry against the jmuiier labor aud concentrated capital of the old world, and will be foremast in the flglit on any new questions that may be sprung on the Republican party.

The Inter Ocean for 1881. T^E SATURDAY EVENING

Dniljr, Semi-Weekly aud Weekly

In presenting the prospectus of TUB INTER OcKAif for the year 1881, it is scarcely necessary to remind the people of the Northwest that the paper has been, from tho date of its establishment, pre-eminent as jm exponent of stalwart Republicanism, and in advance of all others in promulgating that system of political ethics which has as its foundation the idea of hnmanlty in politics. It is not the advocate of coldly conceived theories, but tho champion of ideas- warm with the blood of struggling aud bleeding humanity. As such it is read and kuown of all men.

It is not necessary to say that The Inter Ocean has never deserted the platform or principles 011 which it began the fight for the rights of the citizen or its work in the interests of the people, but it is gratifying to know that tho Republican party has come finally to stand squarely ou this stalwart platform, and that in thus moving forward the party leaders have acknowledged that the position of The Inter Ocean, taken years ago, was corrects This is, to The Inter Ocean, the heartiest and most effective testimony as to to the. value of its influence, and the quality of its leadership.

The influence of this leadership was never more apparent, nor the hold of The Inter Occan has on earnest Republicans was never more forcibly illustrated than during the last Presidential campaign. Through tho campaign the earnestness, loyalty and enterprise of tho paper were everywhere recognized as important factors in determining the result, and its status as the leading Republican journal of the Northwest was tlxed beyond dispute.

The Inter Ocean will discuss ull public questions fairly and fearlessly it will give tho news accurately and fully, supplementing it with intelligent and fair mina merit it will maintain its high standard in State, Washington and foreign correspondence, and will continue to devote special attention to departments having reference to

home affairs. "Tho Curiosity dom," and bettor with each conscientious effort that gave them their popularity will bo devoted to their improvement.

Shop," "Woman's King-

Farm and Horned' have grown succeeding year, and the

The Veterinary department, In charge of a practical veterinary surgeon will be made of special value to horsemen and stock growers.

In the department of Action tho best serials have been secured, and these will appear in connection with short stories aud sketches.

The market reports, taking in financial and commercial news and discussion of trade topics, will be made full and reliable, giving special attention to matters in which the merchants, stock growers and farmers of the Northwest take a direct interest.

Tho Weekly Inter Ocean will give thenews cf each week complete, presenting important matters in detail, and condensing minor news in such away as to not obscure or weaken uny statement of fact. The Weekly will be, in short, more comprehensive in characacter and scope than any other political or general newspaper in the country.

In addition to all other departments mentioned in connection with the Weekly, the Semi-Weekly will continue its educational department under the present able editor.

Believing that Tho Inter Occan contributed not a little to Republican success in tho last campaign, tho proprietors havo no hesitation in asking the stalwarts of the country to aid them in widening its Held of influence. The wholesomeness and effectiveness oftlic Influence of such a paper have been demonstrated beyond dispute. Republicans interested in maintaining the integrity and esprit de corps of the party are interested in increasing tho circulation of those papers that contribute most to the desired enfect. Among all such papers The Inter Ocean stands first.
