Indigestion

Is not only distressing complaint, OF
itself, but, by causing the blood to
become depraved and the system en-
feebled, is the parent of innumerable
maladies. That Ayers Sarsaparilla
is the best cure for Indigestion, even
when complicated with Liver Complaint,
is proved by the following testimony
from Mrs. Joseph Lake, Of Brockway
Centre, Mich.:-
oliver complaint and indigestion
made my life burden and came near
ending my existence. For more than
four wears 1 suffered untold agony, was
reduced almost to q skeleton, and hardly
had strength to drag myself about. All
kinds OF food distressed me, and only
the most des'cate could be digested at
all. Within the time mentioned several
physicians treated me without giving re-
iief. Nothing that / took seemed to do
any permanent good until / commenced
the use of Ayers Sarsaparilla, which
has produced wonderful results. Soon
after commencing to take the Sarsapa-
rilla l could see an improvement in my
condition. My appetite began TO return
and with it came the ability to digest
all the food taken, my strength i'm
proved each day, and after a few
months of faithful attention to your
directions, I found myself a well
woman, able to attend to all household
duties. The medicine has given me a
new lease of life."

|. ''papa" and 'Tmamma," manage a pafaPnrhse
Of his own upon the names of his attendants
or of the members of the family, and gain
command over such monosyllables as dog,
horse, cat. The putting Of words together
to make a coherent sentence is a later devel-
opment, and one that is said to come earlier
with girls than with boys. A girl child is
more precocious in nearly all respects than
her brother.
In Stray Leaves from Baby's Diary the
infant photographer complains piteously OF
the confusion he underwent when what he
had been told was dog was called puppy,
doggy, bow WOW and Carlo. A similar
experience followed with the cat whom he
heard described as pussy, puss, kitty,
kitten and Tabby. One is surprised that a
child should learn as rapidly as he does, re-
calling under how many different titles the
same object is presented to him.
If parent wishes her baby to learn quickly
to express his wants she must strive after
simplicity in the vocabulary she bestows upon
him. A plate should be called plate, and
not a dish one half the time and a plate the
other. The terms glass, tumbler and goblet
are also puzzling to the baby intelligence
His frock should be indicated to him as a
frock, slip, or dress, and not as every one
of the three. AS he grows older this careful
ness will become unnecessary, but its omis-
sion at the outset is hindrance to his i'm
provement.
Another thing that retards an infants pro-
gress in learning to express himself intelligibly
is the absurd practice of addressing him in
the gibberish known as baby talk" There
is neither rhyme nor reason in mutilating
language beyond all recognition in order to
adapt it to baby comprehension. The prin-
ciple that leads mother to chop her childs
food into fine bits that it may demand less of
an effort from his digestive powers does not
apply to things linguistic. With those there
can be no mincing matters The English
language is hard enough to acquire at best,
without doubling the task by insisting that
a child shall first learn patois and then I'M
learn it before he is able to express his
thoughts in a fashion to be understood by
ordinary mortals.-Harper's Bazaar

Beauty and Bathing.

So much has been said about bathing, per-
hapS there is little new to be told. Yet, In
its connection with beauty, too much cannot
be said.
Battle intelligently, battle conscientiously.
We hear discussed the relative merits of cold
and warm baths. | think the warm BATH
properly taken, the greatest promoter of a
clear, soft, rosy skin. Az eminent physician
recommends the warm bath to be taken twice
q week.
After carefully drying the body with soft
linen, apply rose water and pure glycerine
using them in a mixture of equal parts we'll
shaken. Rub into the skin, then put on the
night robe warm. 1t is hoped, that no one
DESTROYS of a beautiful skin will wear any
garment at night that is worn during the
day. Allow no cold surface to come in con-
tact with the body after a warm bath, but
get Immediately into bed The good effect of
such BATH followed by a night'sre,t where
in an even temperature is kept up fofeight
or nine hours will be felt at once. Add to
this formula sweet temper and mind at
peace with all tho world and the silken rose
petal may not outvie a womans skin.-Dress

Ladies' hair.

Long and thick hair is SO scarce among
ladies.that when one comes to have her head
washed who has full suit she is always the
subject Of remark and envy. Not more than
one in ten ladies have full suits Some VINO

most of it throug h carelessness The hair
will fall out if not kept clean, and many find
that, after reaching certain length, it breaks
off. However, if a lady has just enoughlhair
to hold a switch the haiEdresser viii do the
rest. Style, moreover, has favored the short
haired, for less and less hair has been worn
lately From the immense waterfalls to the
present scanty head dress is a wonderful
change. Switches are universally worn, but
in constantly decreasing SIZE. Still woman
with long hair is to-be envied, for her hair
will always look natural A switch needs re-
freshing, because, without the natural oil of
the head to keep it bright, it will look differ
ent from the wearer's own hair. Some sleep
in their switches so that they may take the
oil from the head, but this is bad for the
scalp, making it too hot and causing the hair
to fall out. So many ladies wash their. hair so
seldom that do not wonder they lose it.

A Strange EyentfuI History.

Mile Rousseil, the once celebrated actress,
is about to return to the scene of her first
triunphs. Her history is a strange one
During the war she nursed the wounded SOL
diers, like many other actresses, and her ia
milarity with pain and death gave hera
gloomy view of life. She, however, con-
tinued her career, and created the role of
Caverlet in Emile Anglers play, but in the
Lent of 1875 Pere Didon preached at Notre
Dame and his sermons imbued her afresh
with religious mania. She used to lacerate
her flesh like Saint Theresa, and looked upon
herself as a veritable Magdalen. She con-
ceived violent disaster for her profession;
tried literature, but failed; and eventually
entered a convent. This secluded place she
left some time ago. being thereunto induced
by young mystic and poet. Latterly she
reappeared on the stage at Cairo.--European

THE FAUST OF THE TALMUD

Who would think that the old legend of
DR.. Faustus, one of mankind's primitive nur-
sery tales, could be read between the lines of
that repository of wit and wisdom, mirth and
marvel, the Talmud3 Let the reader Judge
whether Faust, Margaret and Mephistopheles
are not in some degree suggested by the Solo
mon, Mama and Ashmodai of the following
Talmudic legend.
Solomon, the king, to whom God had given
power over the whole creation, and whose
knowledge encompasSed all things was in
despair. The divine word had been pro-
nounced that no iron was to be employed in
building the temple, and how was he to erect
a suitable edifice without the aid of iron2
How could he crush huge masses of marble9
How split adamantine rockl How cleave
hard powders of wood? The work had to be
done. 1t was his duty and privilege as
David's son. The resources of a mighty realm
were at his service But without the employ
ment of iron he could not advance a step
Was he, the sovereign of Israel, to abandon
she undertaking. Were his wisdom and his
wealth in vainl

Rose Insects.

The insects most harmful to roses are the
green fly, red spider, rose hopper or thrips,
and the rose bug and the black slug. Now,
though these insects involves some little trou-
BILE, yet success will attend all persistent eff
forts. The green ay, the thrips and the black
slug can all be kept under by Swinging the
plants with solution of whale oil soap. One
pound of soap is sufficient for eight gallons of
water Throw the water in a fine spray on
the under as well as the upper side Of the
leaves. A syringe with bent nozzle is the
best instrument with which to apply the
liquid to the lower sides of the leaves. The
red spider can be held in check by Swinging
the leaves with clear water; in dry times this
should be done every day. If the rose bug
Imelolontha subspinosa) makes itsappearance,
which is not very often, it can be destroyed
by the insect exterminator.- Vicks Magazine.

Fashionable Powder Rags.

"What is thisl A handkerchief" asked a
Madison avenue hostess, as she picked up
from the floor three inch square of dainty
cambria, hemsttched and trimmed on the
edge with lace 1t was reception day, and
the guests had just left, but by some chance
the article in question had been left behind.
Let's see mamma" said the daughter
ooh, that isn't a handkerchief" she con-
tinued, that is face dolly, or, to express it
less elegantly, powder rag All the girls
carry them"
These face dollies have become feature of
fashionable walking or evening toilets. They
are carried in the center of the handkerchief,
and in order to make them secure they are
pinned in with small safety pins. The dolly
is well rubbed with lily white or any other
popular powder, and can be applied without
detection. When the owner feels that her
face will be more attractive by the use of
powder, she has only to bring her handker-
chief up to her face.
1t is very amusing to witness the skill with
which this whitening process accomplished,
and the dexterity with which complexion
cloths are managed. Some society ladies
carry both powder and rouge and apply it in
the very eyes Of their escort without any
conjunction of being detected in its use
Any one standing in the lobby of q fashion
able theatre cannot fail to notice how fire.

Wine of Cranes.

Since the ravages of phylloxera have so de-
vastated the vineyards in France it has be-
come a common practice for French wine
dealers to import largely from other coun-
tries, the product being manipulated and then
exported or sold at home as pure French
wines They have now abandoned even this
pretense, and many prominent French houses
have established themselves at Lisbon and
elsewhere. There they buy up the Portu-
guese wines of inferior quality, doctor"
them and put them on the market as coming
directly from the vineyards of France Apro-
pos of this subject a witty writer remarks:
I'm these clever times wine is made of every
thing-eveu Of grapes" - San Francisco
Chronicle.

The Tables of ROYALTY.

In Italy the court dimes around table COW
cred with magnificent service in gold; it is
the only luxury; there are no flowers, and
the dishes Of the country are invariably
served-above all, the fritto, composed of a
foundation of artichokes, liver, brains and
cocks combs At the German court the finest
table is that of the grand duchess of Baden;
she has an excellent French cuisine and a Pa
risian chef, The queen of Sweden has very
tempting table and bill of fare-soups, al
most always milk, and beefsteak; one of her
favorite dishes is composed of balls of mince-
meat cooked with oil and surrounded with q
garnishing of poacEed eggs; then there rs al
most at each repast the national plate, salmon
preserved in earth. Queen Victoria's favorite
wine is pale sherry which she drinks from a
beautifully carved silver cup inherited from
Queen Anne. The royal dinneris very COM
plete. The table is lighted with gold Candida
bra furnished with candles; orchids placed in
epergnes rise up to the ceiling. The queen
eats a special bread, well cooked and of a
mastic color London Globe.

Inside 'riiig of-cccsisTwo inches In diameter
and is covered over. 1t is called the pen.
Four marbles are placed in the outer division
of the box. These are the pigs. The test Of
skill is to get them all into the pen without
touching them with the fingers. The box is
manipulated in one or both hands, so that
the marbles roll one at time through the
gates in the circular fences and finally into
the inner Enclosure.
They act very much like pigs, inasmuch as
nobody can be sure of them until he has them
all in the pen. He may get three in, and,
while trying to put the fourth in, the others
will run out. Anybody who has ever driven
pigs will appreciate the toy, and if every
body who appreciates it has driven pigs it
proves that there are thousands of pig drivers

The stormy petrol skins the ocean foam,
The vessel sails along her lonely way;
The sailor thinks of wife and child and home;
The sun fades in the west and ends the day.
There is no moon to lend friendly light,
The wild winds howl, the pillows roll and roar;
The ship strains every nerve till late at night,
And then goes down, thousand miles from

Looks up, and, wondering asks his mother why

Partridges killed by Fleas.

SportSmen throughout all this and neigh
boring counties report that cartridges are
getting very scarce and threaten soon to be-
come extinct. Some parties say this decrease
Is owing to so many wet summers of late
years, the young birdN being drowned and
the nest flooded and the eggs spoiled. We
notice, however, that several papers argue
that this disappearance of cartridges is
owing to the introduction in Georgia of the
Texas flea, brought EGre by the Texas ponies
This insect attacks the birds and soon kills
them. 1t is said that entire coveys are
soon killed out when the Texas flea gets
among them. There is no doubt about one
thing-partridges are getting scarcer every

The principle of the automatic box
es, which form such prominent objects
at n railway stations, has been APP
piled TO doors and turnstiles. A coin
of the proper value must be dropped
into a slot before the door can be
opened, and thus the services Of n
money-taker are dispensed with. Such
doors are applicable TO the entrances Of
exhibitions and places of amusement.
Their special use. however, is for
lavatories and the like. For such cases
it is necessary 10 insure that the doors
shall always be closed after q person
has passed out through them, and that
they cannot be again opened except by
the proper coin. To this end folding
doors, meeting at the middle are en-
ployed. To the inside of each door, and
a. night angles to it, there is fixed q
gate.
When the doors are open the two
gates close the passage, and when the
gates are open the doors are closed. A
person wishing to enter an unoccupied
apartment finds the doors open and the
gates closed. He drops his penny into
the slot and then pushes open the
gates, the door closing behind him.
When he energies he opens the doors,
and at the same time the gates close
behind him. Thus the entrance is al
ways barred.-AmericaD CititiU0tOr.
