Millinery and Madness.
Millinery has a different effect
upon different people. While its
coit may in a few instances drive
hiihands mad. it seldom, if
ever happens that a woman regains
her reason through the means of a
new hat.
Recently a gentleman whose wite
wis confined to a sanitarium be
cause of a severe case of melanchol
ia, and who the physicians declared
was incurable, regained her reason
in this way, says the Millinery
Trade Review. Her husband call
ed to take her home, and observing
that she was rather shabbily dress-
ed, started out, with the assistance
ed, MJIltU UUI, W illi jk,oi.
t. .
of a nurse, to secure a new hat and
coat, that she might appear some
v? to date The poor wo-
man was somewhat indifferent as
to the appearance of the coat, but
when the hat was placed upon her
head she instinctively glanced at a
mirror to see if her hat was on
straight. She was delighted, and,
weep.ng tears of joy. flung hersell
into her husband's arms, exclaim-
lug: "I'm well again. I'm well
again
Something in her head "had
snapped" and she was soon hersell
again. The moral of this case is
that many a man's wife would be
kept out of the sanitorium if they I
would let something in their wives'!
heads "snap" instead of snapping I
their pocketbooks when asked for
money for a new hat.
Thinks It Saved His Life.
Lester M. Nelson, of Naples,
Maine, says in a recent letter: "I
have used Dr. King's New Discov-
ery many years for coughs and
colds, and I think it saved my life.
I have found it a reliable remedy
for throat and lung complaints, and
would no more !e without a bottle
than I would be without food."
For nearly forty years New Discov
ery has stood at the head of throat
and lung remedies. As a preven-
tive of pneumonia, and healer ol
weak lungs it has no equal. Sold

store. 50c and $t.oo. Trial bot-
tie free.
Keeping Butter Sweet.
If butter is wrapped in a clean
cloth which has been wrung out of
heavily salted water, and has a
small lump of charcoal put in the
outer lolds of cloth, the butter will
keep sweet much longer, especially
in warm, murky weather.
A Grand family Medicine.
'"It gives me pleasure to speak a
good word lor Electric Bitters,"
writes Mr. Frank Conlan ot No.
436 Houston St., New York. "It's
a graud family medicine for dyspep
sia and liver complications; while
fur lame back and weak kidneys it
cannot lie too highly recommend
ed.' F.lectric Hitters regulate the
digestive functions, purify the blood,
and impart renewed vigor and vi
tality to the weak and debiliated of
both sexes. Sold under guarantee
at the Delta Drug store. 50c.
Gasoline for Washing.
Too many people tell of their
failure in gasoline washing.
In nine cases out of ten, the rea
son is that too little gasoline is
used. If you wash with water, you
usually take a good basinful or
pailful, but when you wash with
gasoline, you are apt to put a cup
I ill into a generous sized pail
This, of course, is just enough to
stir up the dirt and to distribute it
iii a grav tone all over the lace
gloves ot what not to be cleaned
Take a generous bowlful of gaso
line and wash your gloves, laces,
veil--, neckwear, ribbons and silken
accessories; then rinse them in
plenty of clean gasoline.
Alter using, if you will let the
gasoline stand for a few moments,
all the dirt will settle, aud you can
carefully pour oil the clean gasoline
to use at another operation. To
clean gloves, put them on the hands
and scrub with a little brush, after
ward rinsing theiu like a pocket
handkerchief.
Silk washed in gasoline loses
none of its dressing; leathers lose
none of their curl; plaiting stay
plaited. Never, of course, use gas

Timber on the Pacific Coast.
Thomas Weddle, of Eureka,
Cal., raises a note of alarm as to
the disappearance of the timber
supply on the Pacific coast. Some
efforts have bven made in the direc
tion of pticmag the timber for
'
the benefit of future
and people generally beheve that

iitn Vi timher reserves already
made, over 50 per cent are of que.

lumber.
The large bodies of tim
ber on the coast suitable for com
merce are owned by capitalists,
who bought them at a very low
figure and are now realizing on
their investments. This destruc
tion is going on at a terrible rate,
with the lumber being shipped to
China. Japan. Australia, Chile. Pe
ru, Italy, France and the United
Kingdoms. Only the very highest
erades of timber are being export

ing shipped out each mouth than
would be consumed in the Ln.ted
States in a year. At a very con-
servative estimate it will be impos-
Me to buy a carload of lumber on
the Pacific coast in 10 years from
today unless some national mea-

wholesome destruction of our lor-

Buchlen's Arnica Salve Wins.
Tom Moore, of Rural Route 1,
Cochran, Ga., writes: "I bad a
bad sore come on the instep of my
foot and could find nothing that
would heal it until I applied Iiuch-
Arnica Salve. Less than hall
of a 23 cent box won the day lor
me by affecting a perfect cure."

Polishing Furniture.
A mixture of equal parts of boil-
ed linseed oil and turpentine will
renew varnished woodwork, floors
and furniture, but very little cf it I
should be used, aud what there is
should be rubbed in until absolute-
ly no oil is left on the surface. Otl-
erwise the oil will catch the dust,
and a dull film will soon form over
the varnish. The best remedy for
a dull or whitened wax finish is
good hard rubbing. A little polish
may be used if the case is a desper
ate one, but none should be leit on
the surface. White spots caused
by heat or moisture will disappear
it rubbed hard immediately with a
simple polish, says Harper's Bazar.
An old-fashioned polish for renew
ing old mahogany and, strangely
enough, recommended for polishing
brass also, is the following, dating
from 1777: Two ounces of butter
of antimony, two quarts of cider
vinegar, one-half pint of linseed oil,
one-half pint of ale (not beer).
Mix antimony with oil, then wdd
ale, put into a half gallon demijohn
and shake well with the vinegar.
Use soft cloths, and shake well to
mix before using. This polish has
worked miracles in restoring old
mahogany.
The Beat Pills Ever Sold.
After doctoring 15 years tor
chronic indigestion, and spending
over two hundred dollars, nothing
has done me as much good as Dr.
King's New Life Pills. I consider
them the best pills ever sold;"
writes B F. Ayscue, of Ingleside,
N. C. Sold under guarantee at the
Delta Drug Store. 25c.
A feature of the common wild
violet of the fields that is a surprise
to many is its practice of bearing
hidden flowers. These are borne
on stems, sometimes long and some
times short, that put out from the
base of the plant and are entirely
different from the showy blue ones
that we all know nodding at us
above the leaves.
In some species of violets the se
cret flowers are actually buried in
the earth, while in other varieties
they stay above ground, but hide '
shyly among the leaves, so that '
they are rarely observed. Thev 1
are quite small and homely and
never expand, always remaining j
closed in the form of dark, color-!
less buds. They are abundant seed
producers, and it was in digging up j
some violet plants one day in early j
June to transplant them to my wild
garden at home that I first tiecame
aware of these underhand doings in
violetdom. A ereat cluster of fat
seed-pods ready to fly open were '
half buried in the ground at the '
base of the leaves, and where they
came from was a puzzle to my un-1
tutored mind. Il one rakes about '
the roots of violent plants in late
uuwever, me mystery is.
solved, as the budlike flowers will
tbta be seen.
