Oh, Belva, would you destroy family ties throughout our land! No. The Red Bandana will be used for the next four years in dusting such Fine Pianos as Mason X Hamlin, Boardman X Gray, Baus, and Wilcox S White and New Eng land Organs. A company with business stability is preferred to the hireling of a manufacturer who sells Pianos for new ones and a few months later claims they were manufactured long years ago.

How One Man Cured Dvspepsia.

After suffering twenty-five years with q
weak, dyspeptic stomach, nm now aged
62 years, but thanks to health journals,
or the application OF the principles as
therein laid down, now have a stomach
that can beat like base drum without
finching, and a back equal to any part Of
The body. My great cure all has been a
careful study Of diet adapted to the
wants and whims of weak stomach, ex-
eessive rubb;ngs and deep breathing,
have enjoyed almost uninterrupted good
health for the last eight years; don't
know what ii is TO be sick day or ever
have Il headache. In proof of this fact,
fifteen years ago abandoned horse shoe
ing on account Of weak stomach. Six
years ago l took it up again, and am still
shooting up TO the present time. The ex-
erciscs must he persevered in rs regular
as the eating, taking from fifteen to
thirty minutes, according TO age and
strength, the first thing in the morning,

4 Rival OF Dynamite.

1t may not be generally known that
sauerkraut is a dangerous explosive. A
Philadelphia kraut maker, who is cutting
up 5000 cabbages a day and probably
knows what he is talking about, says:
III q cask of kraut is sealed when too
fresh there is sure To be trouble A cask
OF gunpowder is hardly more dangerous
than Il tightly corked barrel of fresh sauer-
kraut. AS the stuff ferments it swens,
aud If vent is not furnished there is an
explosion that shakes the foundation OF
the store and frightens the life out Of the
storekeeper, while the neighbors raise q
cry Of dynamite plot. Seriously, sauer-
kraut is dangerous article to handle. -

The Dutch minister Il mean the man
who represents Holland) Is Mr.. DeWeck-

years. He is u very cultured man, and lie
graduated at the University Of Leyden.
He was in the diplomatic service at
Vienna ana secretary of legation at Brus-
sells, and he has represented his country
at Rome and Japan. He is a widely
Travelled man, and, like oil the Dutch, he
has a great fund OF knowledge The
American opinion Of the Dutch people is
an erroneous one, and there is scarcely
nation in Europe which is better edu-
Gated and so well up to the times.
The Spanish minister is Senior Emilio de
Muruaga, who is now 90, and who is the
son of q distinguished army officer Of
Spain. He speaks five languages, and he
has been foreign minister at half dozen
different courts.

secretary Of legation to America, which
tells how IN English minister took In the

This novel appeared only short time

Bessie's curiosity had increased as
she noticed Mrs. WiltOn's manner and
it was not lessened when, after leading
the way into one of the rooms she
pointed to a large cupboard and said:
II was Obliged to have that made to
hold them. III let in more light so
you can see them etter.
Bessie stood looking at the cupboard
wondering what it contained while
Mrs. Wilton opened the window and
threw back the shutters. Then she
came back to where her friend stood
and opened the cupboard doors.
There was an exclamation of surprise
from Bessie, followed by a peal Of
laughter. as she looked at the contents
and realized nat they were.
There were four wide shelves in the
cupboard, and each one was filed as
full as it would hold with vases and tOi-
let bottles, of all colOrss shapes, and
sizes.
surely you never got"
Eyes, 1 did, and those in the parIor
beside; altogether there are thirty-three
pair of vases and nine toilet sets, and
they have been like an elephant on my
hands ever since. L couldn't allow a
/ reporter to print a list of my presents
how it would have looked whole

/ behind each one. L cannot set them all
In mp parlor; L have so many there
/ now. A stranger that once called
asked me if 1 was selling vases. 1
| don't know what to do with them.
More than one toilet set at a time on
/ dressing-case looks out of place, no
matter how pretty they may be, and al
[ though L can change them around
nearly every day, L can see by the looks
of my callers that / am never fortunate
J enOugh to have the right pair IN sight
when the giver happens t. call
"Ihe name OF the giver was, IN
most cases. written only on the box
they came in, or on loose slips Of paper,
and they soon got mixed up, and
couldn't tell them apart, there are so
many, and dare not mention them to
any one that came to see me married,
/ for fear of hurting the feelings Of some
| of the givers by acknowledging that
1 do not know what their gift was. L
value them all for the sake Of those
who gave them, but L 10 wish some Of
my friends had chosen something use
| full instead of vases.
II should think you would" said
! Bessie with another laugh; "but it's
/ odd none Of the givars noticed the sit
nation and changed their gifts.
"No one knew it but the folks at
home. We had supper at the hotel,
and the presents were all sent to
mothers, of course, and by the time
we We're settled at home here, so people
called on me, they did not expect me
to show them, and, of course, L did not
want to mention it and make them feel
/ bad, so have avoided the subject as
much as possible.
After a little more conversation on
/ the subject Bessie took her leave, feel
/ ing glad she would be able to explain
matters to those who had misjudged
/ her friend.
She did so at the next meeting of the
I Ladies Aid Society, and felt that she
had done right in repeating what had
been told her, when even Miss Barker
I had to acknowledge that Annie had
/ done the best she could under the cir
cumstances, and they decided then and
/ there to consult together before MAX
ing wedding presents In future.
