This preparation, which has been known
as PARKER's GINGER ToNIc, will hereafter
be called simply PARKER's Tonic. AS un-
principied dealers are constantly deceiving
their Customers by substituting inferior ar
ticles under the name of ginger, and as gin

drop the misleading word.

Early in November, 1881, while sewing on
the machine, my wife was taken with a
severe pain in her side, which was soon fol-
lowed by hemorrhages from her lungs and a
severe cough. Fever commenced, she could
neither eat or sleep, and in few weeks she
was reduced to 6 living skeleton. The at
tending physician told me that he thought
one of her lungs was entirely gone. She
could not retain the most delicate nourish-
ment on her stomach, then agree with DR..
Sullivan, my family physician, to call DR..
Holloway in consultation. They made q
final examination Of the patient and pro-
nounced the case hopeless. DR.. Holland

ECONOMICAL MAKING OVER
TH1NGs-Many families have a
knack of making a little go great
ways, in rendering their homes
comfortable, even genteel. Calling
upon such a family recently, I at
first supposed they had bought some
new chairs, but on closer examina-
ton found they had been cane seat
ed walnut ones, too valuable to
throw away after the bottoms had
given out. The girls had tackled
on firmly some strong canvas in
place of the cane, then added sew
eral thicknesses of the same size
cut from an old quilt, and tackled
over these stout cotton tohold them
in place. A strip of cretonne hav
ing stripes of pretty flowers, was
stitched across piece of reps, and
formed the covering. When this
was tackled on, the edge was hidden
with upholsterer's braid fastened
with brass headed nails. The effect
was very satisfactory. After the
boys oiled the frames, these chairs
were really prettier than many ex-
pensive once I know of. An old
lounge, previously covered with
hair, Goth, was treated in the same
way, with the addition of a sofa
cushion nicely embroidered. It is
as good as new, and more attractive
than it was previously, - The
daughter showed me their .:new
carpet" made of two others. For
the certer an old sitting room in,
grain carpet was washed, colored
brown, and the best portions sewed
together. The border was formed
from the best parts of a crimson
and black bed room carpet. The
effect is more pleasing, TO me at
least, than a two dollars a yard,
bright, lowered carpet which anoth.

HONE HINTS FOR SPRING.

Bureau and washstand covers are
among the most common pieces of
fancy work, and are of countless
designs. Among the prettiest, this
winter, are those of crash or momic
cloth, made in scarft pattern, with
the ends in embroidery and drawn
work, from a quarter to half a yard
broad. They may be done with
colored silk, but are much prettier
when worked with the threads,
which have been taken from the
material. The fringe, which is
formed by drawing out threads,
when the work is all done, has a
broad heading mad by alternately
taken out and leaving seven or eight
threads; and, over those left, work
ing across stitch or feather stitchs
Above this are broad, open patterns
of drawn-work, and ribbon may be
drawn through, or bright color
placed under. There should be a
pin cushion cover to match. Man,
tel and window lambrequins are
made the same way, or they may
be crocheted with fsherman's twine
to initiate the Macrane work,
which is so much more difficult.
Any pretty pattern Of knitted or
crocheted edging can be used, and
a fringe added, or colored tassels
or chenille on each point.
Table linen, in a full, good supply
of which a good housekeeper takes
pride, is varied and beautiful
enough to satisfy any taste. There
are table cloths and napkins suited
to every occasion, and every course
from soup to coffee and fruit, with
appropriate designs in colored or
white embroidery; but an initial or
monogram, worked in white, with
or without fringed sides, which can
be washed without fear of losing
color, seems most desirable. Da,
mask cloths of red or grayish
brown are pretty and economical
for breakfast and tea. The latest
imported styles for napkins are
long and narrow, like towels.
These napkins protect the dress
very perfectly, and are to be wei
coined for this reason.
The large stores in the cities bring
out their ginghams, prints and mus

make up plain summer dresses
