and dust pan combined, its brush being so 
constructed ns to lie perfectly self adjusting 
under the slightest pressure. Lightly miming, 
it will take up anything that a broom will, 
from any kind of carpet, while if pressure is

Ladies don’t buy a new carpet. If you wish 
to be. economical, you can cover those worn 
places with home made nigs. If you do not 
have enough bright-colored pieces in your rag 
bag, you can color them at a trivial expense. 
With the Pearl Hug Maker many ladies make 
an entire carpet. When making large rugs or 
carilets, it is advisable to make them m sec¬ 
tions, or pieces about 13*1x3 feet, and then join 
them by sewing the edges securely together on, 
the back. (This is fully explained in the illus¬ 
trated directions.) It can be used on uny 
sewing machine or by band. Price, postpaid

IS,,, 103. Tin* Improved Waterbury Hutch. 
Given lor Four Subscriber*. 
The introduction of the now celebrated Wa¬ 
terbury Watch caused a revolution iu the 
prices of these necessary art icles, and since 
that, time a good timepiece has been within 
the means of most any one. 
The success attained by the Waterbury 
Wtite-h Company has brought many imitators 
and would-be competitors into the market, 
hut none o£ them have succeeded in making a 
watch to sell at, the same price which will 
compare with the Waterbury. Some idea of 
the enormous demand for aud sale of t he Wa¬ 
terbury may be gathered from the fact that 
last year, at their large factory at Waterbury, 
These binders have black cloth sides, upon 
one of which is stamped the name of the 
Bubal New-Yorker, thus making a neat 
volume, which would not be out of place upon 
the I ibrary table. We presit me most ol ou r r< ud- 
ers preserve their Bubals, and we trust they 
will secure one of these handsome and con¬ 
venient, articles for that purpose. 
The binders are made aud furnished by the 
well-known house of Asa L. Shipman’s Sons, 
No. 10 Murray Street, New York, w ho make 
twenty-six different sizes for music, magaziues, 
pamphlets, and periodicals of all kinds.
