A Hundred Tens Of Money.

1t hardly seems possible that the money paid
in one month for a ten-cent article, could, IL
pennies were used in payment, weigh one hun
dred tons. Yet one of our bright school boys
has figured that this is true of Diamond Dyes.
To judge from the stocks of our dealers in dye
stuffs, Diamond Dyes own the field of package
dyes, and are complete success. Of course
they have imitators. Nothing is a success
until initiated" But no one wants to risk a
counterfeit when the genuine can be obtained
at the same price Three new cOloss have
lately been added 10 the list of Diamond Dyes:
Fast Stocking Black, Turkey Red for Cotton
and Brown FIR Cotton. The manufacturers,
Wells, Richardson & Co., Burlington, VT, will
send cOlored samples of these new dyes, with
book of directions, to any address, free of
charge. These additions seem to have made
the line SO complete that any shade can be
matched with some color of Diamond Dyes.
The beautiful pie book of shaded colors.
lately sent to all dealers in dyes, will delight
the eye of any lady. Its easy to dye with
Diamond Dyes" is so absolutely true that
home dyeing is no longer difficult and dis
agreeable task. Almanacs, with their hints as
to proper times for different work, tells us that
now is the time Tor Spring dyeing This, to-
gether with the thought OF that hundred tons
of money, leads us 10 ask what school boy can
figure how many thousands of ladies are now
saying that this is the time to use Diamond
Dyes.

there seem to be good many young

Four young ladies in Dakota last
year put their heads together and hit
upon an ingenious plan, whereby they
could each secure claim and yet all
live comfortably together in one house
and each be upon her own land. In
stead Of building four shacks with one
room each. they constructed one shack
with four rooms, but so nicely planned
that each room of the square building
was on different quarter section.
Each had her own bed In her own
room and in that way, each claimant
at night slept upon her own land.

For all the ordinary ills of life, the

III their effects that, while they may
better meet the modern desire for quick
results, they frequently permanently
injure the system, nature rebelling
against the unnatural methods en-
ployed.
1t is always safest to follow natural
methods in treating disease. The old

best medicines the world ever knew.

In carving leg of mutton, or ham,
begin by cutting across the middle to

not lengthwise, and help from the mid

In carving pig, it is customary to
divide it and take off the head before it

the head is revolving. Cut off the
limbs and divide the ribs.
To carve fillit of veal. begin at the

ried off by an eagle few weeks ago.
The baby and sister five years old
were left in the yard. At about noon
the father returned home and found his

the baby in the yard while she went

an hour the sound of a shot brought
the searchers together. One of the
men had found the eagle, and was
fighting with it. He had emptied his
gun at the big bird and had broken a
wing, and was using his gun as club
when reinforcements arrived. The
eagle fluttered into the bush, and then
the father saw his infant dead, the

Scientific Marriage.

The scientific marriage is never
failure. Ill health supplies the di-
vorce courts with business. The
healthy man or woman is not fretful,
peevish. morosc or sullen. Thousands
Of unhappy marriages can be traced
directly to disease. The proportion of
young people who should marry, com
pared with those who ought not to
marry, is small. II is only in rare in
stances that the stock OF love with
which the young couple starts in their
matrimonial career, is able to stand
the drain caused by the conplainings,
signs and i'll temper Of the sick room.
No unhealthy person can be happy or
beautiful or sustain the married rela-
tons successfully. In the history of
the world there have been nations
who, for Il time. married scientifi-
colly. and these people were always
the rulers of the world Their
dccadence dated from the time
when they abandoned scientific
marriage. Scientific marriage need
not interfere with sentiment; on the
contrary, sentiment is fostcred and
preserved by science applied to mar
riage The scientifically married grow
old respecting each other They do
not learn To despise each others weak
ncsses. To be healthy is to he bcauti-
full, and beauty is the corner stone Of
love. No person should marry who is
afflicted by consumption, heart disease,
chronic dyspepsia, rheumatism or dis
ease Of the nervous SYSTEM.
