The wonderful cure related below 1s
by no means unusual with Hood’s Sar-
‘ saparilla. This great medicine has
given health to suffering children,
“even when health seemed impossible.
" . The secret of its success is that it puri-
’fies, vitalizes and enriches the blood.
“I wish to tell of a wonderful'cure
Ieflected by 'Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Five
years ago my little boy was sudden-
ély seized with a severe lameness, appar-
5 ently in his right knee, which some phy-
sicians said was rheumatism, while others
Isaid it was hip disease and that it was
Incurahle
IDuring the next winter and spring he
lbecame rapidly worse. We took Jimmie
: to a specialist, who said it was hip disease.
E At this time the afliiction became so
, severe that we could not move him with-
gout causing screams of agony. He be-
' came reduced in weight to 30 pounds, and
r was but a shadow of his former sell. We
had about given up hope when we read of
a cure by Hood’s Sarsaparilla of a similar
case. We resolved to try this medicine.
Jimmie was decidedly improved after
_taking the first bottle. He was .even
Better
' after the second. We have since used
over a dozen bottles of the medicine, and
the change has exceed ed our expectations.
James is now able to walk without the
aid of crutches and goes to school every
day. He has been wonderfully cured
by Hood’s Sarsaparilla.” J. O. RUNDELL,
Oakley, Michigan. __
. ,Druggist C. C. Tubbs says he knows the
Rundell boy has been wonderfully
. Cured
by Hood’s Sarsaparilla and that Mr. Run-
dell is thoroughly reliable. He has a good
sale of Hood’s Sarsaparilla and Hood’s
Pills, both of which are giving 'perfect
satisfaction. He says Hood’s Pills seem
to be the coming family cathartic.

saparilla do not be induced to buy any

WIG RIOTsf
Troubles Among the Hairdressers of
' Olden Times. ,
A long chapter might be written on
hairdressers, their rights and wrongs
and revolutions; But they have always
been stanch tories in their hatred of
wigs. England had her wig riot in the
reign of George 11.; Milan had hers in
the reign of Maria Theresa. It arose
from an audacious attempt by some
restless innovator to cover every
fashionable head in Milan with a wig
of steel or silver wire, warranted to
save some three hours’ daily toil and
-- .1 ,.ance in the dressing of the hair.
; .-~:e the. hairdressers like one man,
am petitioned the empress to save
.1 com the. threatened ruin of their
art.
The empress listened to their prayer,,
and strai'ghtway decreed that anyone
wearing one of these new-fangled
periwigs must' pay a fine of fifty
Sequins or be thrice scourged in
public. She further empowered the
police to search private houses for the
offending-article, and to destroy it if
found. To this imperial legislation
Goldoni alludes in the doggerel lines:
In that great day it came to pass
That a gentle countess was forced. alas!
For her hairdressers sake to forego her
mass.
He kept her too long at her toilet.
Ten years later another satirist pub-
lished an “Account of a Prodigious
Comet Lately Seen at Milan,” the
comet being a transcendent specimen
of the hairdresser’s art, erected on the
head of a certain noble dame—Mac-
millan’s Magazine.

ROLLED CAKES.
Easily Prepared If You Only Know How
to Proceed. .
There are. several. species of rolled
cakes which require special treatment.
The best known of these are the rolled
sponge cakes, which are usually spread
with jelly, custard, soft chocolate or
some fillings rolled up while warm,
and when cooled cut ed in slices from
the end. These cakes are easily pre-
pared, although the amateur is often un-
successful because of her failure to ob-
serve two or three simple things neces-.
sary to success.
Beat the yolks of four._.eggs with two-'
thirds of a cup of powdered sugar. This
pdrtion of the work can be done effec-
tually with a patent beater, because all
that is necessary is a vigorous stirring,
Beat the whites of four eggs to a stifi
froth with an egg whip, add a table-
spoonful of lemon juiceto the yolks and
sugar. Stir it in. v'Fold in the beaten
whites of the eggs, being careful not
to .stir or you would break down the
whites. Sift two-thirds of a cup of
pastry flour with half a teaspoonful of
baking powder twice, then sift it into
the other ingredients. Mix it in care-
fully with an egg whip. Spread the
cake batter evenly on a flat biscuit
tin and bake it 15 minutes. Take it out
of the oven and spread it while warm
with jelly. The edges of the cake are
apt to be dry and hard; trim these oif
evenly. Begin rolling a little firmly at
first and continue until the roll is
formed. Pin it in compact form in a
napkin or a strip of clean cotton, when
it will stay in place. Cut off slices half
an inch thick from the ends. Currant
or crab-apple makes excellent jelly.
When the cake is flavored with vanilla
use a soft chocolate to spread on it.
Soak a tablespoonful of gelatine in
three tablespoonfuls of cold water for
.two hours. Add a. quarter of a cup of
boiling water and one and two-third
cups of powdered sugar. Scrape fine
two ounces of chocolate and melt it
over the fire with two tablespoonfuls
of water, and (stir it with the other in-
gredients until a smooth paste is formed.
Spread it on the cake and roll it up
rapidly. This cake is very nice spread
vith a boiled icing in which a cup of
grated cocoanut- has , been stirred.

extract—N. Y. Tribune. .6 . . . a

SPRING WRAPS.
Capes and Jackets Will Both Be Worn.
with the Latter in the Lead.
It is too early for genuine novelties in
spring wraps which can be accepted as
the reigning style of the season, but a.
few models which are at least new may
serve as suggestions of things to come.
Capes and jackets will both be worn,
and the latter, cut with loose fronts and
sack back, seem destined to lead the
styles in coats. They are, made in
smooth-faced cloths and in velvet. as
well, when the yoke is usually trimmed
with jet. The plaited back is much
more graceful than the straight cut,
and the yoke of the velvet coat is cov-
ered with colored silk passementeric,
while accordion-plaiced chifion forms
the epaulets and full neck ruche.
Another coat of black cloth is slightly
curved at the side seam to fit in to the
figure, and the fullness is arranged in
two decided box plaits. The epaulets
are of white satin, closely beaded with
black. Capes are cut reasonably full
and more sloping on the shoulder to
hang gracefully over the drooping
sleeves, and finished at the neck with a
ruche of ribbon and chiffon, unless
made of cloth, whenthey have a high
Standing collar. One model is carried
out in black duchess satin, decorated
with applique figures of colored passe-
menterie, and has a V of black velvet
down the back and front, edged with
a frill of black kilted chiffon.
The second cape isdecidedly a sum-
mer garment, and is made of gauzy
black grenadine over a black glace silk
lining. Chine Silk flowers are applied
at intervals with opal colored beads
and black 'paillettes, and the ruffle on
the edge and ruche around the neck are
double, of black chiffon over white.
Tailor-made capes are in all the shades
of fawn cloth, stitched around with
white silk, and a stylish high collar is
cut out in squares around the edge,
where it is faced with velvet—N. Y.

Glazed Chops. '
Procure a dozen French chops; have
the end bone entirely taken off.
Fasten all the chops together with a
skewer and tie them tightly in a good
shape. Putythem in boiling water,
add a sliced onion, bit of celery and bay
leaf. Boil hard for five minutes, and
then simmer for one hour. Take out
and cool. When cold separate chops
and trim neatly. Make a half pint of
cream sauce; add to it while hot a
quarter of a box of gelatine that has
been scaked a quarter of an hour. Stir
the sauce until it. begins to thicken.
Dip each chop in this and lay on afiat
dish and put in the refrigerator until
wanted. These will stand for one or
two days. When ready to serve ar-
range them around a-.mound of mayon-
naise of celery. Garnish each chop
with a bit of tomato aspic and serve.—

FIRE ENGINES IN TEXAS.
Great Times for the Natives When the
Bells Sound the Alarm.
- Si Larkins, of El Paso, Tex.,. was
standing at the door of the Arlington
talking 'with a “'ashington friend a
few days ago, when a fire engine and
hook and ladder rushed past with a
great clanging of bells en route to the
fire.
“Great: spectacle, that,” remarked
the W'ashington man. ,
“Yep. considerable show,” responded
the Texan. _
“Never see anything of that sort
down in El Paso, I s’pose?” said the
li’nshingtonian, with a questioning in.-
flection in his statement.
The Texan turned and gavehis friend
a searching look, in which pity and
contempt seemed to “struggle for the:
mastery, and, then proceeded to give
him a few pointers 0n fires and fire de-
partments as he knew them at home.
“Why,” snorted Mr. Larkins, “if we
couldn’t get up a better show and more
enthusiasm than that when a fire broke
opt in our town we’d let her burn
down and move over into Passe del
Norte and live in ’dobes with the
grea-sers. Talk about a ‘great spec-
tacle!’ You’d think it was a- universal
panorama if you could see the fire de-
partment of 'El Paso turn out once.
"‘W'hy, man, it is counted the greatest
honor that a- men in our town can have
conferred on him to be elected a mem-
ber of the fire department. All the best
citizens belong. When the big bell
strikes you bet everything else stops
until that fire 7's put. out. It. is the only
occasion when the deal stops at the
faro banks, and when a fire. comes on
Sundays that teachers all dismiss their
congregations with a mighty short
benediction and hoof it for the scene
of the conflagration.
“Then you ought to see our engine.
She’s a daisy, and don’t you forget it.
Double handles at each side. and room
for four men at each handle. Every-
thing }.iaintcd red and a 'brass eagle
on the top of the pump barrel. We
keep four Spanish mules standin’ in the
stable all the time, harnessed and
ready to pull out at a moment’s n0-
tice. Hank Tompkins, the driver, is
the slickest man in his business in the
whole southwest. When he pulls out
for a fire you canrbet your la st simoleon
everything else has got to stand from
under. He turns the corners so fast
that the boys on Red Betsey, as they
call the engine. have to hang on to the
outside curve to keep her from upset-
tin’; sometimes she goes clean over,
but not often, and it only takes a min-
ute to right hcr agin. Sometimes the
boys do it before Hank gets the mules
to 'a dead stop, and off they go agin.
“Oh! I‘ tell you it is a. grand sight to
see Hank comin’ down the street with
his whip a-cruckin’ and then two little
blue leaders just a-standin’ on their
hind feet and clawin’ out at the air
like. IVhen he passes it takes half an
hour for, the dust to settle where he
went along. An’, then, you ought to
see the CI‘OVI'dS.’ Why, you never see
anything like it. Men, women and
children all turn out to see the boys
lick the fire. ‘y'hen they go through
’Dobcrtown Hank mos’ always runs
over two or three greaser kids; they’re
always so slow ’bout gettin’ out er the
way. And dogs, oh, Lord! I’ll bet I’ve
seen 400,if there was one all runnin’
un’ rippin’ an’ barkin’ behin’ Hank
and the engine. Sometimes Hank runs
over eight or ten of ’em, but he can’t
stop for dogs or nuthin’ else for that
matter. ' '
“Say, pard, ’deed you never have seen
a fire turnout in this town, if that
which just went by is a sample.”—
Washington Star.
SPIRITS OF TURPENTIN E.
Some of Its- Uses in the Arts and Mann-
factures.
Very few people have any correct no-
tion of the number of uses to which the
products of turpentine have been put.
Let us" mention some of the different-
ways spirits of turpentine enters into
the arts and manufactures. Many who
read this article by gaslight will re-
member whefi they read their news-
papers by the smoky light furnished by
“camphene.” This was before the in-
troduction and use of petroleum. Cam-
phene is prepared by mixing the recti-
fied oil of' turpentine with alcohol. Al-
though‘kerosene is now so cheap, the
rectified spirits of turpentine isst-ill
used for illuminating purposes in some
backwood sections of the south.
- Perhaps the most common uses of the
spirits of turpentine .are those in the
arts, where it enters into the prepara-
tion ofuepaints and varnishes, and es-
pecially in the manufacture of india-
rubber goods. The paint and varnish
industries take about 5,000,000 gallons
annually, while the rubber industry re-
quires about 3,500,000 gallonsn year.
But spirits of turpentine has other
uses not so well known to ECS.
How many would enjoy their
and other vegetable oils if the; 7 :zrw
that they were a-dulteratcd with '1 * p21;-
tine oil? How many invtlfia‘s Llnow
that their medicines contain spirits of
turpentine,'or that the. liniment or.
ointment which relieves their aches nd
pains is largely composed of turpen- ‘
tine ?———.Jee J. Vance, in Appleton’s Pop- -
ular Science Monthly.
