colored satin are the newest for the family

painting.
To wipe the dust from papered walls take
a clean, soft piece of flannel. OF course it
m ust not be damp but the dry flannel will
remove the dust.

rubbing with the outside of fresh orange or
lemon peel and drying Immediately The
volatile oil in the skin dissolves the tar SO it
can be wiped off,
Pretty table-covers and covers for shelves

shades of flannel, which come in double
widths. For some uses it is even prefera-
Bile to felt, and is found to be very service
able.

Very few, even well-educated persons, re-
alize how much danger to health there is in
| impure ice. An idea prevails that water,
when frozen, becomes pure, no matter how
impure il was before. But this repeated ex-
periments have shown TO be a mistake
Water polluted by organic matter may lose
something of its impurity during the process
OF freezing, but it is very little indeed, and
| much malarial sickness might be traced to
| the existence of disease germs in ice water.

Sweating has been quite generally recon-
mended in the cure of colds. I think how
ever that the risk of taking cold afterward
will more than counterbalance the good that
may be expected, and, except in cases of un-
usual severity, l would not recommend it,
The Turkish bath" has been highly recon-
mended as a cure for colds. With proper
care afterward there is no better or more eff
fectual plan of cutting short a severe cold.
1t is not, however, necessary to go to a regu-
lar establishment to take such a bath. Any
small, comfortable room, where a good fire
can be quickly made, will answer the pur-
pose. In the early evening make a good fire
in the stove and close The doors ard win
dows, leaving only a small opening for ven
tlation. Then let the patient put on his
night clothes and lie down on bed or sofa,
or sit in an easy chair for an hour or more,
with the temperature of the room from 80
degrees to 100 degrees Fahrenheit. After
ward the room should be gradually cooled
to about 70 degrees, and the patient should
go to bed and remain there till morning.

A cold in the head can usually be cured in
a few hours if, as soon as it is discovered,
the person will sniff the fumes of ammonia
or spirits of camphor every few minutes as
strong as they can be borne When a severe
cold attacks the throat and lungs there is no
safety in neglecting il for an hour, for there
is more or less Inflammation of the lungs,
which interferes with their action, rendering
them liable at any moment to take on
serious. and, possibly, uncomfortable disease.
Go home and remain there. In the even
ing take warm foot bath,
and at bedtime take three or
four liver pills. These will stimulate the
liver to healthy action and promptly relieve
the lung trouble; but it renders the system
sensitive to renewed attacks, and, therefore,
the greatest care should be observed for sew
eral days not to take fresh cold. Ordinarily,
no other treatment is necessary; but should
the cough continue, have your druggist
make the following mixture, and take one
or two teaspoonfuls every hour till cured:

THE "BREAD-wINNERs."
Reasons for Believing that John Hay Is
the Author of the Story.


the Author of the Story.
Washington Special in Cleveland Leader.
The story of the Bread winners" excites
almost as much interest here as if the prin-
cpal events of the novel we're located at the
national capital. A gentleman we'll known
throughout che country in connection with
many important events of late years said to
a Leader correspondent to-day that he had
read and re-read the story, and thought
he could tell the author of it. THE
gentleman who wrote that story"
said he, lis Colonel John Hay. What
makes me think so? Ill tell you.
Anyone who would read Castilian Days
and then take up The Bread-winners
would Immediately conclude that the same
person had written both books. Note in the
new story the frequent illusions to balls or
evening parties in Spain, Cordovan leather
and the discussion of Spanish wines. There
are more points of similarity between the
two books than one would suppose. In Cas-
lillian Days Colonel Hay uses the express
ion, and the trail of the Neapolitian SER
pent is over them ALL In The Bread
winners Arthur Farnham is made to
say, while relating an anedote, even
here the trail of the fire is over
the land One of the characters in The
Bread-winners' is described as having passed
his earlier days in Salem. Ind. Colonel
John Hay was born in Salem, Ind. The
service of the latter in the war, his life in
Washington and his experience in the West,
and later his long residence in Cleveland,
where he took an active interest in local
politics, would qualify him to write intelli-
gently of the events of the late rebellion. of
the troubles of office-seekers in Washington
and of society and politics in Cleveland, and
these features of the story are conspicuous
throughout. The cynicism displayed is
characteristic of Colonel Hays writings and
his conversation, too. Anyone who
knows Colonel Hay intimately would say
that his ideal of true gentleman is depicted
in the character of Arthur Farnham. the
story is written by cultured gentleman; no
novice could impart the flavor of Cleveland
and its society as it is given in The Bread
winners What a lovely character is that
of Alice Bedding? l think it will be shown
in time that Colonel John Hay is the author
of the new novel. l understand, however
that every precaution is being taken to pre-
vent the authorship from being discovered.
Nor instance. the editor of the Century, who
alone of the staff of the magazine knows the
name of the author. conducts all correspond
ence with him, and addresses him by fic-
ttiouS name"
