The various ways in which even the plain-
et dishes may be made appetizing and hand-
some should be known to all housekeepers,
particularly at this season of the year, when
festive occasions are most frequent. It is
easy to garnish dishes richly for a trifling
outlay of time and trouble, and the increased
beauty of a table well repays the pains taken.
In‘ many homes the appearance of the table
can be improved and stiffness avoided by the
exercise of a little ingenuity, and what house-
keeper is there who would not rather have a
few simple dishes prettily served than a num«
ber carelessly prepared? It is frequently the
case that the dessert is generously decorated
while the meats and vegetables are served
without the slightest attempt at ornamenta-
tion. Pickles of almost every variety are
useful for garnishing fish as well as cold
meats. A piece of whitefish can be trimmed
with a slice of lemon in the center and
sprinkled with the yolk of a hard) boiled
egg that has been put through a hair sieve.
The egg can be put on in geometrical lines
or in the form of a star, and the dish be bor-
dered with capers or small chilies, or, if pre-
ferred, parsley.
Stewed Whitefish, with white sauce, should
be ornamented with gherkins cut in long,
narrow strips and capers laid in small rings
over the centre. Many cooks cut the whites
of eggs into rings and lay them on fish in the
stereotyped fashion. They should be separated
from the yolks and cooked as follows: Grease
an ordinary jam pot, put in the whites, and
set the pot in a saucepan of boiling water;
cover and steam until set, when any devices
can be cut from them—leaves, stars, dia-
monds.
For fish cakes, croquettes and other snacks,
fried parsley is an ornament. It should be
very dry. Put it into a wire basket and
plunge it into smoking fat. It will become
crisp in a moment and the color will be rc~
tained.’
Bread crumbs, colored pink and yellow,
make pretty decorations for many dishes.
Vegetable coloring is not urrwholesome, and
can be used in food decoration successfully.
Jellies, bread - "limbs, and even vegetables
can be colored: oorders of dishes, and they
. add greatly to the effectiveness of ouny
plain meats.
A handsome dish of vegetables, either tur-
nips, carrots, or potatoes, can be made with
alternate layers of green peas and capers laid
over them in rows and the top crowned with
a trifling quantity of current jelly. Chopped
beets, capers and parsley introduced into
salad make it better and improve its looks.
For boiled fish lobster coral should be added
to the sauce, and in lieu of this bread crumbs
colored pink make an excellent substitute.
Potted meats can be made to look showy
and handsome if strips of the hard white cf
an egg is laid on in a kind of trellis work.
The meat can be arranged in any shape and
decorated to suit the fancy with whites of
egg which have been previously prepared ac~
cording to the directions above. Curled but-
ter, which is obtained by rubbing through a
hair sieve and taking it up carefully, is a
pretty ornament to cold sliced turkey or
chicken. Tufts of parsley add to the attrac-
tiveneSS of this dish. . Dark green olives may
take the place of the parsley if preferred.
Currant jelly laid on in round heaps deco-
rate a dish of boiled rice, and if L the rice has
been cooked with the addition of lemon juice
to the water, thereby increasing its whiteness
and causing the grains to separate well, it .
will be very pretty, particularly if about the
edges of the dish are laid bits of watercress.
Scallops of fish ~or poultry are improved by
the addition of small portions or macaroni
and tomatoes put along the edges of the dish
and on top of the scallops—New York Sun.
Daughters of the Rich.
The daughters of wealthy, luxurious pa-
rents enter into the competitive struggle of
lovishing thousands of dollars on balls and
dinner parties, because they are imbued with
the idea that their position depends on their
not showing themselves to be outdressed,
“outentertained” or “outgayetied” by any of
their friends. To marry and live in a board-
ing house or in a cottage, far removed from
the sacred precincts of fashion, is annihila-
tion. No matter if it were to be for only a
few years, while the husband should be mak-
ing his fortune, such descent could not be
contemplated. The sociotv young lady wants
to begin her marriage life on the same scale
that their parents are ending theirs. De
clining to recognize any other possibility,
she has never taken steps to learn anything
about domestic duties, and is entirely igno
rant of the way to make a dress or trim a
bonnet. She employs the most expensive of
trades people, probably spends double what
an English nobleman’s daughter would, and
wastes more on ice cream, candy, and flow-
ers than the entire income of a working
woman. If she goes to the theatre or opera,
she must have a carriage, a corsage bouquet,
new gloves, and a supper. None of her
toilets must be seen too often, and she must
be registered in the summer at some expen-
sive resort, or go to Europe. Her parents pet
and indulge her in every way, her bachelor
friends adore her, and she receives almost as
much worship as did a goddess in the days of
Greece and Rome.
Very probably she is pretty, highly edu-
mted, accomplished, bright, and attractive—
odelightful partner for a dance or a flirta-
tion, and very likely an excellent wife for an
extremely rich man. But ask her to come
down from her pedestal, to be the helprnate
of a man of moderate means, to cut herself
loose from the acquaintances that can only
la: kept up while _she is wealthy, to share in
his struggles, or to rise or sink with him, and
she will most likely, politely but firmly re-
fuse. It is difiicult to foresee what the reru-
edy for this state of affairs will be. It is
unprecedented, because in European coun-
tries class prejudices have, as a rule, kept
people in sets. More wealth seldom suffices
to move a family out of its original set, and
the girls are content to marry and remain in
the circles to which they have been accus-
tomed, without trying to push themselves
Into higher ones—Chicago Times.
Old Fashioned Family Sentiment.
Fathers are over indulgent. Up to a cer-
hin point that answers very well, for chil—
dren arc pets and playthings, but later on
comes that state of afi’airs so well put into the
mouth of old King Lear, who in the depths
of his anguish could find no phrase so apt in
description of his lamentable condition as:
“How sharper than a serpent’s tooth it is to
have a. thankless child.”
As the twig is bent the tree inclines.
The boys who were brought up to disre
gard the interest and engagements of each
other, who care nothing for the convenience,
comfort, protection of their sisters, grow in
time to be men, and these girls who have no
eonfidences-in their mother, who keep their
secrets from each other, who take into the
bosom of trust the casual acauaintance of n
careless hour, grow to be women, and then
you have the society of the future, and to I
certain extent the society of today——f'arn.'li,‘

I don’t believe in this everlwting talk
about the “good old days,” for in the good
old days we had no palace cars, no electric
lights, no decent eating and drinking facili-
ties on railways, no telegraph communica-
tion, no elevated railroads, for all of which
we are indebted to the good new times, when
the brain of science directs the hand of cap-
ital for the convenience, the comfort and the
humanizing of mankind; but there was a
something worth keeping in the good old
times, or else this proud nation of ours would
not be supreme as she is to-day, or else law
would not, in the court of last resort, be re
spected as it is to-day, or else the strained
conditions that exist between capital on the
one hand and labor on the other could not be
restrained within the present limits today,
but chief among those good things of the
good old days was a family sentiment, which
bound heart to heart, interest to interest,
making brothers and sisters and father and
mother an entity, a commonwealth—Joe
Howard in Boston Globe.
Mistress and Helper.
I admit that there are some empty headed,
unchristian women who prefer to have
menials about them, and to whom the words
“my servants” have a very pleasant and aris-
tocratic sound; but I am glad to say I believe
they are in the minority.
I have in mind a lady who had severé.
servants who were ignorant, and content in
be so; insolent, in many cases; fond of low 1
company, and who thought they had done u 1
smart thing when they had in any way over- '
reached their mistress. These girls the lady
treatedssservants pure and simple. They
ate and received their company in the‘
kitchen, and the words exchanged with them
were about their work, and nothing more.
But it happened that one fortunate day
this lady secured as a helper an intelligent,
well read, honest girl, who thought every.
thing that was done should be well done; and
after that there was no servant—or what is i
generally meant by that term—in that house.
Wand helper diseased the latest maga-
zine articles, or talked of Howells’ or Mrs.
made Halls and received callers together. In
brief they were companions; and when, after a
few years of this happy relationship, the
mistress died, the girl who had been em-
ployed by her mourned for her as for a dear
friend.—-Lida A. Churchill in Demorest’s
Monthly.
Invention of a Charitable \Voman.
The wife of Mr. E. Prentiss Bailey, of The
Utica Observer, has inventive as well as
philanthropic genius. Long an earnest
worker in fields of charity, she found that in
the hospitals it was often necessary to em-
ploy extra nurses to move patients, and that
the task was always a strain both upon the
sick and those in charge of them. She saw
and contrived a way in which to help the
sick to help themselves and it is very simple,
and effective.
Two iron sockets are attached firmly to the
sides of a bedstead by screws, and into these
are fitted short poles, and between the poles
is suspended a horizontal bar, also fitted into
clamps, and adjustable to any height above
the head of the patient lying on the bed.
From this bar hauga pair of strong straps
with grips, and these can be moved from
right to léit at will. By grasping these straps
the sick man can utilize the strength of the
arms to lift himself up, to change his posi-
tion, to turn over and to allow the bedding
to be changed.
There are a v -iety of attachments to the
invention, which extend its usefulness indefi-
nitely. One is a rest for the leg, in which a
broken limb can be placed while it is being
dressed. It is only necessary to unscrew the
sockets attached to the bedstead and change
their location, to utilize this. Another is a
’ small table for medicines, a book, anything
that a patient wants within immediate reach.
Another is a curtain rod, likely to be espe«
cially serviceable in hospital wards, to avoid
a draft, to shut out the. light, or to afford a ‘
degree of privacy.
Mrs. Bailey’s invention has been in use for
some time in Faxton Hospital at Utica,
where it is found to be the greatest comfort
and convenience in a large number of cases

Lady Brilxairs’ Advice to Girls.
WHAT TO AVOID.
Aloud, weak, affected, whining, harsh or
shrill tone of voice.
Extravaganccs in conversation — such
phrases as “awfully this,” “beastly that,"
“loads of time,” “don't you know,” “hate,”
for “dislike,” etc. ' ‘
Sudden exclamations of annoyance,surprise
and joy—often dangerously approaching to
“female swearing”-—-as “bother!” “gracious 9"
“how jolly!”
Yawning when listening to any one.
Talking on family matters, even to bosom
friends.
Attempting any vocal or instrumental
piece of music that you cannot execute with
ease.
Crossing your letters.
Making a short, sharp nod with the head,
intended to do duty as a bow.
WHAT 1'0 CULTIVA'I'E.
An unaffected, low, distinct, silver toned
voice.
The art of pleasing those around you and
seeming pleased with them and all they may
do for you. ‘
The charm of making little sacrifices quite
naturally, as if of no account to yourself.
The habit of making allowances for the
opinions, feelings or prejudices of others. ,
An erect ca rriageht-hat is, a sound body.
A good memory for faces and facts con-
'cctcd with them, thus avoiding giving of-
fense through not recognizing or bowing to
people, or saying to them what had best been
left unsaid.
The art of listening without impatience to
prosy talkers, and smiling to the twice told
tale or joke.
Care of the Baby.
Every baby, of course, needs to be washed
all over in warm water once a day; but this
diurnal bath is positively hurtful unless it is
accompanied by a good honest rubbing.
Now rubbing IS a thing very few persons
understand, although it is such an indispens-
able part of the daily toilet. To rub an in-
fant- propcrly requires great tenderness and
care. All such rubbing should be with a cir-
cular movement of the palm of the hand,
and should be rapid, but with very little
pressure. Above all, the soles of the feet
should be thoroughly rubbed in this way,
gently and q ickly, for at least two minutes.
This promotes circulation and sends the blood
flowing through the tiny heart. In like inan-
nar the little hands should not be chafed up
and down or squeezed, but the palms should
be treated in the same circular way.
Mothers, as a rule, pay a great deal more
attention to an infant’s feet than to its hands.
They would not think of leaving it without
socks, even with its feetfastened up in a
blanket; but with the thermometer below
zero they will let it .flourish two little red
fists in the cold morning air. Yet how
wretched it is to have cold hands every one
knows. Little children, in cold weather,
should not only have their hands rubbed fre-
quently, but they ought to sleep in knitted
mittens as soon as it becomes difficult to keep
their hands under the coverlid, and that is as
soon as they are restless—Jane E. Hunt;-
Rees in Dmnorest’s Monthly.
“hint of Sympathy.
Take hospitality, for instance. Does it
consist in astonishing the invited, in over-
whelming him with a sense of your own
wealth, or felicity, or family, or cleverness
even, in trying to absorb him in your cam
oer-us, your successes, your possessions, in
simply what interests you? However delight-
ful all these may be, it is an offense to his
individuality to insist that he shall admire
at the point of the social bayonet. How do
you treat the stranger? Do you adapt your-
self and your surroundings to him, or insist
that he shall adapt himself to you? How
often does the stranger, the guest, sit in
helpless agonyin your circle (all of whom
know each other) at .table or in the drawing
room, isolated and separate, because all the
talk is local and personal, about your little
world, and the affairs of your clique, and
your petty interests, in which he or she can-
not possibly join? Ah! the Sioux Indians
would not be so cruel as that to a guest.
There is no more refined torture to a sensitive
person than that? Is it only thoughtlessnessl
It is more than that. It is a want of sym-
pathy of the heart, orit is a lack of intelli-
gence and broad minded interest in affairs
of the world and in other people. It is this
trait—absorption in self—pervading society
more or less that makes it so unsatisfactory
to most people in it. Just a want of human
interest; people do not come in contact.—
Harper’s Bazar.
Dangers of Dust. .
It is well known that dust is an absorbent
and collector of odors, and that it gives them
out-under the influence of both heat and
moisture, and that, independent of those
qualities, it is injurious in itself to even the
most healthy lungs, being composed of mi-
nute particles resulting from the wear and
tear of many fabrics, animal, vegetable and
mineral.
“Dust thus constituted,” says the same
writer, “cannot but be most dangerous com-
panyin aroom, as, if allowed toremain, it
becomes poisonous, and when it is disturbed
and enters the lungs has not only an irritat-
ing effect, but becoming moist, gives out its
noxious odors within ,the body.” It‘ can be
readily seen, then, how important are the
operations of sweeping and dusting, espo-
cially the latter.~—The Household.
‘Use of the Toothpick;
Strict clcrmliness is the principal thing to
be observed inthe care of the teeth. After
eating, remove from the teeth all particles of
food with a toothpick, but never, on any ac-
count, use a pin for this purpose, which is
customary with some. This practice in.
dnlged in frequently will injure the teeth far
more than any one would suppose. Use the
wooden toothpick, of which there are two
kinds, the sharp pointed and the flat pointed.
The first is all very well if it does not split,
leaving a small splinter between the teeth or
. under the gums, which is very' disagreeable,
h’ not actually painful For this reason the
flat pointed one is the best. Rinse the mouth
thoroughly with lukewarm water after eat-
ing, if it can be conveniently done—Boston
Budget.
Best “'ashing Fluids.
Some housekeepers use washing fluids, and
if the ingredients are harmless they lighten
the labor, without destroying the fabric. The
following are among the best fluids:
To five quarts of Water put one pound of
salsoda, half a pound of unslaked lime and a
small lump of borax. Boil; when cold pour
off and bottle. Use one teacupful for every
boiler of clothes,
Another'~—One-half a bar of hard soap, one
ounce each of saltpctrc and borax dissolved
in four quarts of Water; when cold add fivs
orifices of spirits of ammonia, Bottle and
use as soap.
Another—Equal parts of turpentine and
ammonia. Add to water.
For Tender Feet.
A remedy for tender feet is cold Water,
about two quarts, two taplespoonfuls of am-
monia, one tablespoonful'of bay rum. Sit
with the feet immersed for ten minutes,
-;cntly throwing the water over the limbs
ipward to the knee. Then rub dry with a
crash towel, and all the tired feeling is gone.
This recipe is good for a sponge bath also.—

: pint of water, strain and add a little honey,

How Novelist Fawcett Works.
A pile of manuscript lay on the desk before
him, the larger part of 'the new novel, ‘_‘A
Man’s Will,” which Mr. Fawcett is just com-
pleting. It was written with a lead pencil on
sheets of ordinary unsized white paper; the
handwriting is clear and hold. The menu-
script at a casual glance appeared fresh and
clean, with not a single word crossed out and
with no interlineations.
“Do you not rewrite sometimes?” I asked.
“Well, I do not exactly rewrite; I write
over. I always use alead pencil, and then I
go over my work with a good eraser, rubbing
out words and sentences 'I wish to change and
putting into their places emendations or ad—
ditions. You see it leaves the manuscript
clean and legible; but if you look closely you
can pick out the corrected bits. Yes, I aim
‘ to do a regular amount of work each day. I
used to be irregular. and believe I could
write better at night and all that sort of
thing. but the only way one really accom-
plishes much is by system and industry. I
write three or four hours each day, usually
in the afternoon, and do about a thousand
words; that is my limit. Ten of these pages,”
taking up one of the sheets of manuscript.
“I wish I felt I could make it only three or
four hundred words; I would be better satis-
fied, I think, though a thousand is'not‘a very.
great amount. I have, of course, written
three or four thousand words a day, but I
cannot afford to do that kind of work now.”
“Do you plan out your novels entirely be-
fore putting pen to paper?”
“No, hardly that. I have a general idea or
plan for the book, but I do not arrange the
succession of the chapters and incidents be-
forehand. Indeed, mosz of my novels have
very little plot; the main thing is the devel-
opment of the relation of the character with-
out much complication of incident. The
events of the story are often suggested as the
work grows under my pen. I keep full notes
of ideas and characters that I think will be
useful. This book,” said Mr, Fawcett, show-
ing me a. leather covered notebook, “I’ve
used so long that I had to have it rebound
recently. I jot down everything here; bits
of character, descriptions of social happen-
ings, schemes for stories, personal trials of
friends and acquaintances, even."—John S.

One Effect of Sham Battles.
The sham battle afloat and ashore, while
undoubtedly of great value in schooling offi-
cers and men in alertness and precision, can
scarcely be made sufficiently realistic to even
approach the real thing. Those who know
what the torpedo and torpedo boat have done
in war must often have .been surprised to
learn how small a part they are made to'take
in the sham battle, and will find it hard to
understand why, in all the sham engage-
ments of recent years, the torpedo attack has
been gravely set down as beaten off. In the
sham battle it seems only to be , to
pick up a torpedo boat out of the darknessat
long range with an electric light to have it
counted out of the fight; but it 5' is certain

Our French contemporary, Revue de Cav
alerie, cites one instance of the fatal effect
sham battle exercise has upon cavalry. At
the battle of IVorth (Franco-Prussian cam-
paign), a small body.of the Eighth Cuiras—
siers and Sixth Lancers, while in retreat
from Morsbroun, came suddenly upon the
Thirteenth Uhlans , (Prussian), ;supported at
a short distance by more cavalry. Acap-
tain of the Eighth promptly formed a j n his
men, the charge bounded, and’tho’ neb-
men dashed forward. But the Prussian cav-
alry did not move, as if determined to re-
ceive the shock at a standstill. This was so
unexpected that the French horse, as it re-
membering the order of sham fight, drew up
their horses at pistol shot range. Neither
side did anything. Had a single man rushed
forward with the standard at this point, it
were certain a melee would have followed.
As it was, both sides emptied revolvers and
carbines, and the Frenchman, discovering
they were vastly outnumbered, and that
there was nothing to be gained by fighting,
turned and fled—Scientific American.

Bull Domingo mine, and saved his life
through prescntiment or superstitious feel-
ing. He was working in the night shift, and
late in‘tbe afternoon.-was-a_wakened from his

distance, when "the same superstitions feeling

thought the, matter ever; and, returning to
the boarding house near by, hired a man in

One evening, while sitting around the stove
in cue-of the'hotels in the camp",a' man
named. Fletcher, hailing from , Ohio,'told a '
.s’trange', weird2 story.- He'was a quiet kind
of’n fellow, and not given up to springing
wild stories; ' Hound his partnerwo his story -

-Verde- hill; inithe Sangre de Cristo range.

and then a drill was started-on the WW)” *
This-drift was within twenty feet fun: the
shaft, and the last day they had worked the
claim a bowlder about twovfeet in diameter
was blown out of the vein. “It was about
time to quit," said Mr. Fletcher, “ and we
concluded to windlass out what loose work
there was and popshoot the bowlder the next
morning. Before. leaving we placed our
mining tools and bucket in a corner of the
shaft end then went to our cabin. It was a
cold night and considerable snow foil. The
next morning about 8 o’clock we returned to
the shaft to resume our work for the day. I
lowered my partner down and was preparing
to descend myself, when I heard him call out,
‘Fletchcr, hoist away.’ I asked him what,
.was the matter, but he would give me no
definite answer, and in rather a husky voice
repented his request that I haul him out,
which I'did. After stepping on the platform,
he said,' ‘You know that bowlder? ‘Yos,’;I
replied. ‘but what of it?’ ‘It is gone,’ he said.
‘Gozref 'ch. gone.’ -
“I refused to believe him, although I ob-
served that his face was a little pale and he
seemed quite nervous. I had him lower me
down the shaft, and, sure enough, that large
bowlder-f.- two feet in diameter, was gone.
The tools had not been disturbed, and no one
else‘oould have possibly gone down that shaft
since we left it the night before. The snow
had fallcn, and there was not the least sign of
a track leading to or from the shaft.”
“Did the mine ever pan out anything after-
ward!” asked one of the interested group of
listeners. -
“I’m: out! No! l have been unable to get
my partner down in that shaft since; And .
one thing I do know-thelbowlder' we had
left that night was gone the next morning,
and neither of us eVer knew what became

Some men use fortune tellers in searching
for mines and developing them. Thedivim
ing rod has been used on many a mountain _
side, and its indiCations followed. I recently ~
visited a well known fortune’teller in Dene
ver for the purpose of looming something.
definite as to stories circulated 1 that some
mining operators seek this class to have'thu'n .
foretell or advise them how to seek for the
precious metals. ~ - ~- .
“Certainly they do,” said the old woman
in a weird manner, shufling the cards.
“Now, you keep out of the mines,” she said,
speaking to me; “your fortune is on top of
the ground, yes, on top of the ground. The
cards and the white of this egg I have broken
sho'w no veins-of mineral for you."
There is a superstition among some about
naming mines, and many seem to think that
it is good luck to name a mine for a baby.
Why? No one knows. A prospector ones
named a claim fora certain Pullmancar,
which was afterward smashed in a wreck.
He changed the name for fear of an accident
to the mine. Another changed the name of
his claim because the person he had named it
for died. The finding of a vein on the anni-
versary of your birthday, or the anniversary
of the wedding of your parents, is suppom
to bring good luck. There are a thousand
and one little superstitions connected with
the delving in mother earth, searching for
the buried treasures there. —-New York

The Perfected Phonograph.
The perfected phonograph will repeat
speech in a clear and distinct manner. The
first phonograph would not work successful-
ly, and it was found hard to make an ade-
quate impression upon the foil sheet, which
received the marks from the needle carried
'by the diaphragm. The new phonograph
consists of a revolving cylinder, and a side
movement is governed by a fine thread, so
that a fixed pencil would trace upon the cyl-
inder a spiral, and the lines would_almost
touch. An electric motor is used to turn the
cylinder, and this is done in such a manner
that no noise is heard. . Upon the cylinder is
placed a soft substance which reserr mos wax,
and the vibrations of the diaphragm are
marked upon it. A touch of a small spring
will set the phonograph in motion. They are
made in a convenient form, so that they can
be carried around in the pocket. There h
very little machinery about the phonograph,
and the cost is small. Iteon housed for a
variety of purposes and in the place of a
stenographer. The mouthpiece has a con-

large area. Whether thenew phonograph
will be of any commercial value is a question
thatwill haveto beanswered after-it has been
given a thorough test—Demorest’s Monthly.

Many pensioners borne on the rolls are entitled
to a much higher rate of pension than they now
receive. Inagreat majority of cases In which
pension was granted for disease, the pensioner is
entitled to an increase of role. and In most caseg
where It was granted for wounds or injuries the
disability increases each year. As time passes the
disability of all classes naturally increases. Many
were at first rated too low, and It often occurs
that nsIoners are unjustly or erroneously re-
do by examining surgeons. A pensioner is
entitled to Increase on a dlsabillry not set forth in
his original declaration. The pension laws are
more liberal than formerly, and better rstlng can _
be had for many disabilities. I make a special!

Infantile
Skin Diseases.
Our oldest child, now six years of sgeuvhen an
infant six months old was attacked with a vIru-
lent, malignant skin disease. All ordinary reme-
dies failing, we called our family physician. Who
attempted to cure it; but It spread with almost
Incredible rapidity, until the lower portion of the
little Icllow’s person, from the middle of his back
down to hrs knees, was one sol 1d rash, ugly, pain-
ful, blotched and malicious. We had no rest at
night,no peace by day. Flnally. we were adwsed
to try the CU'I‘ICDRA REMEDIES. The effect was
simply marvellous. In three or four weeks a com-
plete cure was wrought, lcuvrng the little fellow):
person as white and as healthy as though he had
never been attacked. In my opinion your valu-
able remedies saved his life. and 10-day he is a
strong, heallhy child, perfectly well, no repetition
of the disease having ever occurred.

No single disease has entailed more suffering or
hastened the breshln up or the constitution
more than Catarr'h. '1‘ sense smell, of taste, of
sight,“ hearing, the human voice, the mind—
one or more, and sometimes all, yield to Its de-

throughout the system attacks every Vital force,
and breaks-upihe most-robust of constitutions.
Ignored, because but little understood, by most
physicians, impotently assailed by qnacks and
charlstans, those suffering from it have lznle hope
to be relieved of It this side of the grave. It Is
time then that the popular treatment of this
terrible disease by remedies within the reach of
all passed Into hands at once competent and
trustworthy. The new and hltherto untried
method adopted by Dr. Sanford in the prepara-

A STUDY IN WHITE.
Within a silvery light the lady stands
Like some fair saint. Her robe of purest white
A border bears of zeph yr woven down
From cvgnct‘s snowy breast. And from bar head,
So nohly poised, there falls a misty scarf
Spun from the finest fleece of shepherd‘s fold.
In rings, all arzeutinc. her hair lies soft
On pure, pale brow, where intellect is writ.
As pure the hands that with such kindly grace
A welcome hold. But now she speaks, and 0!
Her guilcless words unconsciously reveal
Whiter than all—the woman’s spotless soul!

A PHILANTHROPIC JOKE.
A Chicago Mun Makes a Fruit \Vomau
Happy by a Little Deception.
”How easy it is to make some people happy
by deceiving them a little I” was the phila-
sophic remark of Mr. Jacques Haskins, as he
turned from his desk to relate a bit of his rc-
ccnt experience. “There isan Italian woman
-—a. good, clean, hard working woman—who
comes up here overy day with fruit to sell.
One day I was walking on Adams street, I
think it was, and I saw her walking in front
of me with her basket on her arm. Two men
were standing in a store door, and I heard
one of them say: ‘Don’t you remember that
woman? She used to have a fruit stand in
front of my store in Memphis in war times.
. Her name is Cunio.‘
“That afternoon when she came into my
office I looked a little sharply at her and said:
‘lIaven’t I seen you somewhere before—some-
whcrc besides here in Chicago 1’" ‘I don’t
lznow,’ said she dubiously; ‘your face seems;
sort of natural to mc.’ ‘Let inc sec,’ said I,
assuming a. meditative posture; ‘didn’t you
used to have a fruit stand in Memphis?’ Her
eyes brightened as she said she did. ‘Right
in front of Lowcnstcin’s store?’ I said. This
was a venture, for I had merely taken it for
granted that the gentleman who had spoken
of her was Mr. Lowenstein, because that was
the name on the sign of the store where he
was standing, and he looked sort of like the
proprietor. But it hit the mark. ‘Yes,’ said
the woman, setting down her basket and
looking as tickled as could be, ‘that was me.’
‘That was about—let me see—about twenty-
thrco or four years ago,’ I said. She moved
her lips as if she were making a calculation,
and then, all smiles, said: ‘Yos, I was there
then.’ ‘Your name is Cunio, is it ‘not?’ I
added. This was the last feather. That I
should remember so much about her and even
be able to call her by name gave her the
greatest joy. Tears even came into her eyes,
and we shook hands heartily. '
“Then I proceeded to make her remember
me. ‘Don‘t you remember,’ I said, ‘I used to
go to lunch at that little restaurant just down
beyond Lowcustcin’s, and I used to buy fruit
of you, and stand and talk to you almost
every day?’ She looked at me along time
and finally imagination did its work, as it al-
ways will, and she remembered me perfectly.
You never saw anybody more pleased. If I
had been along lost brother she could not
She told
which I, of course, remembered more or less
distinctly, and all about her life since then,
which would make an interesting story to
write. Then she made up a big bag of fruit
which I let her give to me, because it seemed
to please her so much to do so. Since that I
have, however, been a pretty regular cus-
tomer of hers, and I mean to be as long as
she keeps coming. What if it is true that I
never was in Memphis in my life? She has
told me so much about it that I could go all
over the city in the dark now, and I am sure
I have given that poor hard working woman
as much pleasm‘e as if I had brought to her
in fact an old friend.”—Chicago News.

Furniture of the Catacombs.
The furniture of the Catacombs is instruc-
tive and interesting, but most of it has been
removed to churches and museums, and must
be studied outside. Articles of ornament,
rings, seals, bracelets. necklaces, mirrors,
took picks, our picks, buckles, brooches, rare
coins, innumerable lamps of clay (terra cotta)
or of bronze (even of silver and amber) all
sorts of tools, and in the case of children a
variety of playthings were inclosed with the
dead. Many of these articles are carved with
the monogram of Christ or with other
Christian symbols. (The lamps in Jewish
cemeteries generally bear a picture of the
golden candlestick.) ,
A great number of flasks and cups, with or
without ornamentation, are also found,
mostly outside of the graves and fastened to
the grave lids. These were formerly sup-
posed to have been receptacles for tears, or,
from the red, dried sediment in them, for the
blood of martyrs. But later archaeologists
consider them drinking vessels used in the
agapae and oblations. A‘ superstitions habit
prevailed in the Fourth century, although
condemned by a council of Carthage (397) to
to give to the dead the eucharistic wine, or
to put a cup with the consecrated wine into
the grave.
The instruments of torture which the fer—
tilc imagination of crcdulous people had dis-
covered, and which were made to prove that
almost every Christian buried in the Cata-
combs was a martyr, are simply implements
of handicraft. The instinct of nature prompts
the bereaved to deposit in the graves of their
kindred and friends those things which were
constantly used by them. The idea prevailed
also, to a large extent, that the future life
was a continuation of the occupations and
amusements of the present, but free from sin
and imperfection.
On opening the graves the skeleton frc-
quently appears even now very well pre-
served, sometimes in dazzling whiteness, as
covered with glistening glory, but falls into
dust at the touch—The Century.
Dlfllcultics of Placer filming.
It will not pay investors nowadays to go
into placer mining without looking along
way ahead. It is only in countries where
there are no farms or arable ground that
placers can be mined for any length of time
without harassing and costly legislation.
The farmers whose lands are injured by the
refuse of the placers washed down the streams
are the ones that make the trouble, and
blackmailers use the cloak of the farmer to
extort money from the company. In Mon-
tana there has been no trouble of this kind,
but in California placer mining has been
killed. and in Colorado the fight is just be—
ginning between the miners and the farmers.
In one county the farmers are now trying to
stop the running of every ore mill in the
county, complaining of the tailings carried
down by the streams. and if they succeed the
Colorado placers might as well be given up
at once—Mining Eagineerin Globe Demo-
