A Good Housewife.

The good housewife, when she is giving her
house its spring renovating, should bear in
mind that the dear inmates of her house are
more precious than many houses, and that
their systems need cleansing by purifying the
blood, regulating the stomach and bowels to
prevent and cure the diseases arising from
spring malaria and miasma, and she must
know that there is nothing that will do it SO
perfectly and surely as Hop Bitters, the purest

Doing up Mems Linen.

A husband complained that his
shirt bosom and collars were bad
ly done up, and the case was rcferr.
ed to a knowing shirt-maker, and
his answer was well worthy the at
tention of housckecpers:
"Yes," said the man, "the fault is
with your laundress. While do
ing up your collars she stretches
them the wrong way. Damp linen
is very pliable, and a good dpull will
alter fourteen-inch into fifteen
collar in the twinkling Of all eye.
Shc ought to stretch them cross
wise, and not lengthwise. Then
in Strengthening out your shirt bo.
som she makes another mistake Of
the same sort. They also ought
10 be pulled crosswise instead of
lengthwiso, particularly in the
neighborhood Of tho neck. A
lcngthwisc pull will draw the front
of the neckband somewhat under
your collar. With the front Of
your neckband an inch too high
and your collar an inch too long,
YOU have most undesirable COM
bination." Tho necessary changes
were made in the methods of the
laundry, and all was right with
shirts and collars.

The Senate SIluT Boz.

There is a curious old custom
kept up in the United States Sen.
ate chamber. On each side Of the
vice.President's seat are fastened
two old snuff boxes. They are the
result of Il custom inaugurated al
most at the foundation Of the gov
crnment, when snufl-taking was a
universal habit. Thurman is the
only Senator who makes n habit
of using snuff, but sometimes q
Senator will stop and take an occa-
sional pinch, while the many Wis.
itors to tho chamber will take n lit.
tie Of curiosity. At first the box
was kept on the Eics.Prosident's
desk, but in those days SO many OF
the Senators used the article, and
so frequently forgot to bring their
boxes with them, that it was re-
solved to place two public rccepta-
clcs for it, and in the annual ex.
penses ofthe Senate is always found
the item OF snuff.

Il Modern Ruth.

A pretty story was told some
time ago in IN exchange, as fol-
lows:
A young lady from the South
was wooed and won by young
California physician. About the
time the wedding was to come of,
the young man lost his entire for
tune. lie wrote the lady Il letter
releasing her from her engagement.
And what does that dear, good
girl do? Why, she takes Il lump OF
gold which her lover had sent her
in his prosperity as a keepsake,
and, having it manufactured into a
ring, forwards it to him with the
following inscription:
"Entreat mo not to leave thee, or
to return from following after thee;
for whittier thou goest, l will 60;
and where thou lodgest, l will
lodge; thy people shall be my
people, and thy God my God;
where thou diest, will I die, and
there will be buried; the Lord 20
do so to me, and more also,if aught
but death part thee and me-"

smiled on the young physician, and
that he subsequently returned to
