Castoria.
Castoria la an excellent medicine for chil
dren. Mothers have repeatedly told me of its
good effeet upon their children."
Da. G. C. Osgood,
Lowell, Mass.
Castorla is the best remedy for children of
which I am acquainted. I hope the day is not
far distant when mothers will consider the
real interest of their children, and use Castoria
instead of the various quack nostrums which
are destroying: their loved ones, by forcing
opium, morphine, soothing syrup and othsr
hurtful agents down their throats, thereby
(ending them to premature graves."

THE HEAVY END OF A MATCH.
"M'ary," said Farmer Flint at the
breakfast table as he asked for a second
cup of coffee, "I've made a discovery."
"Well, Cyrus, you're about Wie last one
I'd expect of such a thing, but what is
it?"
"I have found that tlhe (heavy end of
match Is Cts light end," responded Cyrus
with a grin that would have adorned a
skull.
Mary looked disgusted, but with an alt
of triumph quickly retorted, "I've got a
discovery, too, Cyrus. It was made by
Dr. R..V. Pierce, and is called a 'Golden
Medical Discovery.' It drives away
blotches and pimples, purifies the blood,
tones up t'he system and makes one feel
brand new. Why, It cured Cousin Ben
who had consumption and was almost re
duced to a skeleton. Before his wife be
gan to use It she was a pale, sickly
thing, but look at her; tihe's rcsy-dhetked
and healthy, and weighs 1G5 pounds. That,
Cyrus, is a discovery' that's worth men

A MOST MAGNIFICENT HEIRLOOM
Is health. No gem in tiara or coronet
in so precious. Per contra, a hereditary
tendency to disease, often proves a fatal
legacy, since the most trifling cause may
fertilize .the latent gems of ill health and
render the fruitage deadly. An Inherent
transmitted weakness of the physical con
stitution is more effectually opposed and
counteracted by Hostetter's Stomach bit
ters than by any OLher safeguard. Diges
tion and Mlmlla):km promoted, due
biliary secretion, action of tfhe kidneys
and bowels insured, are so many guaran
tees of permanent health, and these or
the consequences, among others of like
importance, rl a resort to the bitters.
This medicine also f reverMs and-remedles
malarial coirroUlnts, nervounss, chronic
insofntr'a, rhurnrtm arwl neuralgia.
Such warnings as Iocs of appetite and
sleep, too, should not be dlRregarded.

The suggestion to cut a piece of card
board to fit over door no bs and bell hand
le and keep It for use while pol.shlng
these accessories is one of the smalt
helps In tlhe running of the domestic ma

plates which Is acquj-ed during tihe pol
ishing process will be avoided.
Some of the new dhlna for the table
and decoration of country houses Is very
cherry end attractive and suitable with
out being expensive. One particular ware
with the decoration of nearly every piece
different, though it forms a harmonious
whole, has pictures and proverbs and
mottoes on a c ream-colored back-ground.
They are Illustrations from the peasant
songs of France, and birds and beasts and
Mother Goose rhymes and gay flowers. A
variety Of blue delft with colonial decor

scape Is also new antt not high-priced.
A clean hair brubh does not necessarily
metan one that has a dally scrub In soap

to a brush than too frequent washing.
Once a month Is often, enough to wash
comfbs and brushes, If tfhey are cared foi
dally. For the thorough washing half
fill a basin with warm (not hot) water,
put In a teaspoonXul of washing ammonia
and sprinkle through each brush a large
pinch of pearllne. Wah the brush out
quickly, rinse In Warm water and dry
in the open air. This treatment will pre
serve the bristles firm and ummatted in

woodwork in a house better than kero
sene rubbed in vigorously with a flannel
cloth. Crude petroleum and linseed oil
in the proportion of one-third of the
petroleum to two-tlilnds of the oil ar
also good for pollening and cleaning
suoh woodwork, as well as hardwood fur
ir.ture. If very much soiled. It is well
to wipe both woodwork and furniture
witih a fiarjoel cloth wrung out of warm
water; wipe dry quickly, and use the
oil. If the result is to be success In
any cleaning or polishing process, th
rubbing must be with the grain of th
wood, and the application must' be so
thoroughly rubbed in the wood that it
will not remain a greaxy, sticky sirbstanca
on the surface ready to Imprison every
particle of dust that settles on it.
YOUR CARD.
Recent Changes That Have Been Mad
in Etiquette.
New York Sun.
Visiting cards are thinner and lighter
than formerly, whitm is a distinct gain, in
view of the number that have to be, car
ried by the' woman who make many
calls. The custom of leaving an abnor
mal numher of cards at one house has
passid Ir.to Jt.rtv-r, rfvinj
worn Itself out by reason of Ks own in
convenience. Thers was also a grotesque
side to this fashion the spectacle of. a
maid or man servant solemnly entering
an opurliment with twenty-two cards, per
haps, on a silver tray to announce the
visit of two people. Cards are now en.
graved in a clear script, small or large,
as Individual todte may surest, or else
In plain Roimare capiuals. This lettering
is mofe expena.ve than the script. Ger
man text Is no longer faahlonuble. The
script leii'.ers are severely plain, without
flouritiies or shaded strokes.
A young man frequently gives his club
as the rec&drfflice address on his card.
Cards for husband and wife are smaller
than lasit season, which Is an advantage.
An authority on such matters states that
cards witih rounded corners have ap
peared in England, but ithey have not yet
crossed the water. Men's cards art
smaller than heretofore, although "per
sonal preference may be exercised on this
point). Young ladles' cards are a trifle
smaller Mv.in those of their married sis
ters, but they are only, used when pay
ing informal visits to Intimate friends.
On all other occasions the mother's name
appears on the daughter's card.
COL. H. POLK'S INTRODUCTION.
Harper's Magazine tells of & novel and
somewhat startling form a man in the far
west adopted. Introducing a celebrated
ItallUn violinist to the audience. "Ladles
arti (.'jrUemen," began Col. Handy Polk,
the well known real estaite agent, step
ping to the front of the stage, 'Mt la my
privilege to Introduce to you Slgnor ,
the notorious furrin fiddler, who will en.
dcuvor to favor us with some high class,
AWn'o. 1, violin playin'. The slgnor was
born and raised Cn Italy, where flddlln'
Is not merely a fad, but as much a busi
ness as politics In Cols country, and when
It comes to handlln' the bow, he emphat
ically knows where he is at. He hasn't
dropped Into our midst by accident, but
comes under tthe aueplces of the lilteiury
society which Is payln' his wages and
backla-' him to the last gasp. So let
It be understood, if you Wave any criti
cisms to offer, you are to do your klckln'
to the socxeity and not to the slgnor. I'll
Jest add, that if you expect him to swing
his fiddle around .Mb head; or play H
under his leg, like we used to skip atones
across the swlmmln' pool when we were
little, you may jest us well go right now
and get your money back, for the slgnor
ain't that kind of a player. That's all 1
have to tsay. Start her up, slgnor." ,
NEW REMEDY FOR INSOMNIA.
An expert In nervous disorders In Parts
recommended to an Almerlcan gentleman
a cure for Insomnia whldh was tried with
suoh success that the patient has pre
scribed It to many of his friends. ItH
is simply, to keep your eyes open when
you want to go to sleep and cannot. A
person whose , brain Is too active will
sometimes close the eyes and vainly en
deavor to sleep. Ths very closing of the
eyes seems to concentrate the mental fac
ulties on business affairs and other dis
tractions. The theory of the French
physician Is that If the victim of Insomnia
will fix his eyes upom some gleam of
light, some shadow, or even on the dark
ness Itself, he cn relieve his mind from
thoughts fhut perplex It and divert at
tention from himself. Try the experi
ment when you aire sleepless and see how
unconsciously your eyes will close and
your thoughts begin to take possession of
you. Struggle to keep them open and fixed
upon an Object, either real or Imaginary,
and before you er aware of it the strug
gle will have ended and sleep will be vic
torious.
