Can anything be more delightful than

 to feel pure blcod cousing through your veins, to know that lungs, liver, kidneys, and all the Grand Machinery, Does its duty
 perfectly in ones body; to carry 'health's
 ruddy mark on the cheeks. An, this is Good Most Decidedly This was our hero's case, and thousands can tell the same story. The
 good angel has come to them. They have
 seen the letters Clean Most Distinctly before
 their eyes, anl Going Most Definitely to work in pursuing the instructions given, they have recovered that great blessing | Health G. M.

 | Alas, that human nature is so slow to be- | lieve-alas, that men and women are bowed | down with the burden of complaints, of l which they might be rid consumption, l bronchitis, dyspepsia, heart disease, kidney disease, maIarial complaints, scrofulous dis eases, skin diseases, tumors, ulcers, and l many more.

kind of a feeling it was to have the cold
chills run up my backbone, making my
teeth chatter thousand times minute

of drumsticks." The speaker was T. S.
Wilson, the submarine diver. The oc-
casion was when he descended to find
out what had caused the wreck of large

An Annoying Mistake.

A pretty young woman in Topeka got
an anonymous note the other dsy,
signed !Admirer.'' The writer p-o-
tested his ardent affection, and requested
the young lady to meet him at a certain
corner that night. She handed the note
to her mother, who was reused to a
high pitch of indignation by the fel-
lows's presumption, and who proposed
to 60 to the appointed trysting place
herself. She was on time. clothed in
her daughters dress and veil. A fash
ionably dressed young man was there
before her. He was leaning against
the fence, and occasionally looking
down the street as if expecting some
body. Without wasting any time on
preliminaries, the fond mother seized
the young man in an unrelenting clutch,
and lashed him mercilessly with a
'.black snake whip which she drew
from the folds of her dress. What might
have happened had policeman not ar
rived cannot be guessed. Explanations
followed, and it was soon made plain
that the mother had terribly whipped an
innocent young man who had merely
paused for a moment to wait for friend
to join him from neighboring drug
store. The real letter writer arrived on
the scene before the whipping was over,
but wisely disappeared before the situa-
ton was cleared up.-N. T. Sun.

cups of sifted flour; bake in layers;
spread between these layers peaches cut
in very thin slices; then pour over these
sweet cream whipped to a stiff froth

OF course this cake will not keep, but
should be made the day it is to be eaten,
and it is better not to put the peaches
and cream in until little while before
the cake is to be served.-N. Y. Post.

The First Whistle.

The story of the first steam whistle on
the Missouri River is amusing. Its in
| PRODUCTION dates back to 1874. At that
time the settlers on the Missouri River
| were in the habit of making regular
yearly visits to st. Louis to do their
trading for themselves and friends
They were not provided with daily in
tercourse with the outside world, and
many who lived back from the river sell
dom, if ever, saw a steamboat more
than once year. 1t happened that
during the fall of 1874 the new steam
boat Lexington started up the Missouri
River, loaded down to the guards with
freight.
The steamer was provided with
steam whistle-the first used on the
Missouri River-and as it happened no
one knew about it except Warner, who
was a wag and lover of joke. The
night after leaving ST. Louis the pas
sengers We're collected together playing
cards (for fun) in the cabin, when the
talk turned upon steamboat explosions,
then very common.
Il feel perfectly safe on this boat"
said Warner as he dealt the cards.
"Why?" inquired Yocum the planter.
"Why?" echoed the rest of the COM
pany.
Il will tell you why" said the wag,
carefully studying his cards. ''This
boat is provided with new patent
safety valve, which notifies passengers
on board when it is about to blow up.
1t is concern which makes most un-
earthly noise, and when you hear it, it
is time to get back aft or jump over
board"
Notwithstanding the fact that Warner
told his story with the most solemn and
earnest countenance, some were skepti-
cal. Not so, however, with the planter.
Next morning, when the Lexington was
steaming up the long. straight stretch
of river just below Washington, Mo-,
the passengers were at breakfast. The
meal had been called, and all were
busily engaged in doing justice to the
kind of meals they were accustomed to
serve on steamboats, in those days.
Suddenly the whistle commenced to
blow, the first time on the trip. The
passengers looked at each other mo-
ment, and horror and dismay spread
over their faces. The first man to real
ize the situation and act was Yocum,
the planter, who with hair erect and
blanched face, jumped up. crying as he
pulled over one after another of the
passengers.
run, run for your lives; the thing
is going to bust. Come with me, and
let S save ourselves"
OF course there was stampede for
the rear of the boat, and it was only by
the exertions of some of the crew that
the more excited were restrained from
jumping into the river Kansas city

10 Do Tp a Shirt.

Fine laundry work is fine art, and
and experience. First you must wash
the shirt very clean and rinse it care
fully. Then starch the bosom and wrist
bands in starch not too thick. Dissolve
tablespoonful of dry starch in half a
cupful of cold water, pour on boiling
water till it thickens and is about of the
consistency of batter, let it boil min
ute, scrape bit of white soap into it,
and put in bit of butter as big as the
end of your middle finger. Apply the
starch to the wrong side of the bosom
and rub it well; hang out on the line
till perfectly dry. Then make very
little thin cold starch with saltspoon-
full of borax in it. wiring the bosom and
wristbands from this, sprinkle the body
of the shirt and roll it up tightly-let it
lie several hours, or over night. Have
on a clean apron and your ironingsheet
perfectly clean. Provide clean old
cloth and bowl of clear water. Fold
the back of the shirt evenly, and iron
first one side and then the other; iron
the band and the yoke, then the front of
the shirt and then the bosom. Lay this
on the bosom-b board and wipe it carefully
with the cloth; have the iron not too hot
or it Will scorch not too cool or it may
stick; with the left hand hold the bosom
straight and taut and with the right pass
the iron slowly and carefully over it till
it is perfectly dry in every part Ii a
bit of starch catches the iron and makes
a speck on the bosom, dip the cloth in
water and rub it off, then iron it dry.
Iron the wristbands outside and then
inside, holding the sleeve taut with the
left hand; iron inside the sleeve the
gathers around the wristband till they
are nearly dry, then iron the outside of
the gathers smoothly and the rest Of the
sleeve. Fold the shirt neatly with the
sleeves inside and the bosom outside,
and hang it near the fire till it is per-
fectly dry. Any dampness left in the
plaits of the bosom will make it look
rough dry. Sometimes a cloth laid over
the bosom when the iron is first passed
over it insures success, but if the starch
is made just right this is not necessary.
Passing the iron over waXed paper or
cloth wet with kerosene will give it a
smooth surface if it is rough.
When you can do up a shirt nicely
time after time you have mastered
very valuable accomplishment. You
will find exquisite care and skill and
neatness Indispensable at every step -

justly claims for it superiority over alirem-

CERTAIN, SPEEDY and PERMANENT cure
ofAgue and Fever, or Chills and Fever, wheth-
er of short or long standing. He erefers to the
entire Western and Southern country to bear
him testimony to the truth Of the assertion
that in no case whatever will it fail to cure if
the directions are strictly followed and carried
out. In great many cases single dose has
been sufficient for g cure, and whole families
have been cured by single bottle. with per-

however, prudent, and in every case more cer-
tain to cure, if its use is continued in smaller
doses for e week or two after the disease has
been checked, more especially in difficult and
