FREAKS IN TABLES.
Dainty Pieces of Furniture For the Smok

Dainty Pieces of Furniture For the SmoIz-
ing Room or Parlor.
FancieS in tables are as common as
in any thing else. The housewife with
an inclination to be aesthetic and art.
istic will show many different designs in
stands and tables pleasing and orna-
mental.
The right thing for q smoking room
is a rustic three-legged affair, sup
porting a handsome Moorish brass
tray. The room should be in keeping.
and with low chairs and wide divans,
and oriental curtaining, quite Moor
ish and aesthetic appearance is pro-
duced.
Small tables are more popular now
adays than the large, clumsy affairs
in vogue not long ago. A very dainty
five o'clock tea table is octagonal in
form. The wood, Of mahogany, has a
top Of inlaid work in lockwood Mid
way to the polished brass feet are four
circular shelves, each about the size
of tea plate. Under the edge of the
tabletop are a row of tiny brass hooks,
intended TO hold the cups, the saucers
standing on the circular shelves.
Then there are pretty little three
shelved tables in buhl work, which
show red mahogany and lockwood in
lays, brass ratings and brass-tipped
legs. The center Of each shelf is in a
soft, mottled gray wood, making q
pleasing groundwork for the display
Of ornamental porcelain.
A pretty homemade table seen re-
Gently was simply made by placing
two disks of wood about three feet
apart as top and shelf, these held in
place by three legs. The whole had
received a liberal coat OF black enamel
paint and a top Of marbleized slate,
with spray Of wild roses painted on
it. making a charming accessory to a
corner in small room.
Another double-deck table Of homo
manufacture had seen good service rs
washstand, but sfter the sides and
backs had been removed and several
coats of white enamel paint had been
applied to hide the wear and tear it
had received, very pretty square
table was produced, and after drapery
Of light color and texture had been
tastefully thrown over it, more com
plete table could not be desired
Table covers in odd designs are also
frequently introduced. One was seen

drawn work and pen-and-ink sketch

lace, the pattern of which may be out.

AS FRIEND after friend leaves this world

EVERY third person YOU meet is troubled
more or less with biliousness, and don't
know how to get rid of it. The causes are
easily recorded. A lack Of sufficient exer.
else, eating too much by persons OF seden-
tary habits, indulgence in too rich food, a
sluggish torpid liver where the blood does
not do it's duty, and bile is allowed to ac'
cumuIate; these cause the whites of the
eyes to turn yellow, the skin to look thick
and coarse, and the complexion yellow or
dark. These are sure indications Of bilious
ness. Browns Iron Bitters is the remedy
you want. It acts directly upon the blood,
cleanses and purifes it, and sends it on its
journey through the channels Of the liver,
giving to it activity and clearing out the
bile. 1t will remove the yellow tinge from
the eyes and the complexion leaving the lat
ter fresh and clear.

Look Before You Drink.

The shocking mistake made by a Reading
woman who swallowed crystallized white
vitriol under the impression that it was
dose of epson salts has many parallels.
Hardly a week passes that the newspapers do
not chronicle some blunder of the kind and
yet people continue to do the very thing they
know by the experience of others to be fatal
ly dangerous To take medicine without
looking at the label on the bottle, or to drink
from a bottle or a glass in dark room, is
like trihing with death, and while some are
fortunate enough to avoid fatal error many
become victims of their own heedlessness.
Unfortunately the sufferers fail to serve as
warning TO their careless fellow creatures
Like the woman who continues to kindle hel
fire with kerosene because nothing has yet
happened to her, the people who swallow sup
posed medicine blindly will not be frightened
by accidents to others because they have
never had anything happen to them, and
have an idea that escape from the perils Of
the past furnishes immunity from the dan
gers of the present. Philadelphia North
