NEW FURNITURE OUT OF OLD.
What = Smart Housewife Did During

From Good housekeeping.
For years there had stood in a kitchen
wot a couple of old wooden chairs. The
legs had been sawed of at some remote
period. They were such comfortable
chairs, too, broad, well-sloped backs and
wide, rounded seats, slightly followed
out. Between them stood an ancient
washstand about - inches square, with a
drawer inches deep. There had once
beeu a railing on two sides and an up-
right board at the back. But the railing
had long since disappeared, so also had
the board, which. in its palmy DAYS.

The Indian method of planting
corn was to make couical hillock, in
the top of which the corn was placed,
and being used for the same purpose,
these hills became so hard that they
have, in some old fields, lasted till to-
day. In some places in Michigan a
heavy growth OF maple has sprung up
since, and yet the old cornhills are
clearly marked.

A new tanning agent has been dis
covered. The statement is made that
tanner at Tempe, Arizona, two or
three years ago discovered plant
which carried large proportion OF tan
min, and which, when used in the man
ufacture of leather, gave extra weight
to the product. The plant is of annual
growth, indigenous to the deserts and
dry uplands, and is known to the Mex
leans and Indians as ''gonagfa. 1t

scraggy than the cultivated beet, though
resembling it in appearance.-Ar6zoHG

Friend of Woman.

This title is often applied to Mrs. Lydia
f. Pinkham, of Lynn, Mass, by happy
wives and mothers who have been cured of
distressing disorders and relieved of pain
and suffering by Mrs. Pinkham's Vegeta-
Bile Compound. Mrs. L. H, of Stroth-
er, S. c., says in a recent letter: "Your
medicine has done mo so much good that 1
don't think can stop taking it until [ am
entirely well. l owe all my good feelings
to you. The doctor can't get any credit for
curing me, it is your medicine that has
done me more good than anything | have

How Pale You Are

is frequently the exclamation of enc lady
to another. The fact is not pleasant one
to have mention, but still the act may be q
kindly one, for it sets the one addressed to
thinking, apprises her of the fact that she
is not in good health, and leads her to seek
q reason therefor. Pallor is almost always
attendant upon the first stages of consump-
ton. The system is enfeebled, and the
blood is impoverished. DIR. Pierce's Gold

upon the system, will enrich the impover-
ished blood, and restore roses to the cheek.

to us and we wanted to arrive at some COM
mon understanding. We don't even know
how our board stands on the matter, eX-
cept that it is divided. Some of the MEM
bers of the committee were not present
at to-day's meeting and it was necessary
to put them in possession of all informa-
ton"
And that WASP"
mot for me to say, the board having de-
cided to keep quiet. The board is not a
unit on the question. but we understand the
preponderating sentiment and will act ac-
cordingly This is delicate matter and We
are between the devil and the deep sea.
Here is the university that we want to fos-
ter and protect and also to keep in Mime
apoliS. and on the other hand here are rail-
roads that we want the worst kind and
must have, if we would keep up with ST.
Paul The question is, (which shall we
support"
'tAnd which will you?"
'You persist in asking me what cannot
tell. 1 will say we are divided little. and
that must suffice
This was all he would say on the subject.
but he left the inference that a large ma
jOrity Of the committee would favor the
railroad. The talk about the hotel, after
the members had scattered, was that at least
four of them would be prepared TO favor
the Northern Pacific. The committee got
away, however, without disclosing any
thing further.
