EPOCH.

The transition from long lingering
aud painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the individ>
ual. Such a remarkable event is treas
ured in memory and the agency whereby
the good health has been attained is
gratefully blessed. Hence it is that so
much is heard in praise of Electric Bit
ters. So many feel they owe their res-
toration To health, to the use of the great
alternative and tonic. If you are troubled
with any disease of kidneys. liver or
stomach, of long or short standing you
will surely find relief by use of Electric
Bitters. Sold at SOC and 81 per bottle
at HartZ & Bahnsen's drug store.

The draining had already done much
good, that although naturally wet, this

sooner after rain than any other part

JAPAn's GROWN PRINCE.
The Pleasant Disposition OF the MIkado's
Oldest Son and Heir.

The Pleasant Disposition Of the MIkado's
Oldest Son and Heir.
Compared to his imperial father,
even at the present day, Prince Haru
is much more emancipated, and none
OF the old traditions seem to have any
weight in regulating his conduct.
There was no precedent to follow in
the education of Japanese Prince in
the modern way, and Prince Haru has
made many laws for himself. He is a
wonderfully bright and precocious
little fellow, and his small, twinkling
black eyes are full Of mischief and see
every thing. He is hardly taller than
an American boy of six years Of age,
but he has at times the dignity, the
pride of birth, and consciousness of
station and power, OF man OF sixty.
His eyes are not slanting. nor indeed
does one often see in a Japanese face
the wonderfully oblique eyes beloved
OF the caricaturists. The popularity
in the expression Of their eyes is given
by the eyelids being fastened in either
corner, as il few stitches had been
taken there. This makes it impossi-
BILE for them TO lift the eyelids as high
as we do, and gives the narrower
Sits, through which they gaze. the
peculiar Oriental look. One often sees
Japanese with as round, wide-open
eyes as those Of our race. and it gives
an especial beauty TO their counte-
nances.
Prince Haru has the exquisitely
smooth, fine yellow skin that is one OF
the points of greatest beauty in Japa-
nese children, and bright color some
times shows in the pale-yellow OF his
little cheeks He has the rank of a
Colonel in the Japanese army, and
wears his military Uniform and his cap
with the gold star all the time, his
clothes being dark-blue cloth in winter
and white duck in summer. He is fond
Of riding, and. when mounted, the
miniature Colonel trots along at fine
gait, giving and returning the military
salute as he passes an officer or a sem
try, like young martinez. Eliza

How They Enjoy Themselves and what
IL Costs Them.
Nowhere outside of France. can be
seen more striking sort of boulevard
life than in Athens. The numerous
cafes, situated on the principal streets
and squares. spread out many dozens
OF small wooden tables on the sidewalk
every afternoon, and these are soon
filled with people principally govern
ernment employees. Every one is read
ing a newspaper, and has before him a
small cup Of black coffee, the price Of
which is three cents. All the necessa-
ries OF life have increased in price in
Greece, but the price of cup Of black
coffee has remained stationary. II is
the national beverage, and any attempt
to increase its price would cause indig-
nation meetings and the boycotting Of
the establishment which had the te-
merity to defy public opinion. The
coffee-house keepers are perfectly
aware Of this. and no one has ever att
tempted to add even a milf to the price
OF the denise tasse, but the difficulty
was solved by diminishing the size OF
the cups, which now really do not con-
tain more than three mouthfuls OF the
delicious beverage.
With this outlay Of three cents for
cup Of coffee, Government employees,
the politicians and impecunious youths
can sit for couple Of hours in cafe,
look at the passers-by, read the even
ing editions Of the papers, discuss poll
tics and criticise the course OF the Gov

CARE or REFRlcERAToRs.
How to Keep them Neat, Clean and Sweet
Points for Housekeepers.


Points for Housekeepers.
During the warm weather the refrig-
orator comes In for good share OF at.
tention. Aside from its usefulness. a
good refrigerator is a nice piece OF fur
niture, and an ornament to any home,
yet it takes but very little neglect to
render it any thing but ornamental. As
piece OF furniture 1t should be cared
for as conscientiously as any other OF
the household furnishings, yet few
housewives recognize this fact II Is
usually slowed away in some out-of-
the-way. inconvenient place, and the
only care II gets is an occasional clean
ing out OF the inside.
Keep 1t In cool. dry place. In the
dining-room, unless pantry is more
convenient, but IL Is not advisable to
keep 1t in a cellar, as Is often done. for
there are few cellars that are not some
what damp, and when put in such
places it does not take very long to
ruin the refrigerator.
Always keep the ice-box clean as far
as you can. and never allow ice TO be
placed in it that has at first been
washed of. Insist that your iceman
wash his ice ere putting in the box, and
It will be much easier to keep clean.
Never allow the ice to be wholly gone
ere getting in more, for twice the
quantity Of ice will be required to cool
the refrigerator than ordinarily. Never
put anything warm in the ice-chest, but
lay aside in cool place until cold.
Never put in anything that is not per-
fectly fresh. and remove anything bear
ing the least indications OF taint, for
butter or milk absorbs anything OF this
kind very readily. 1t is much better
where there is separate compartment
for the butter and milk, as they keep
much better when placed by them
selves, and retain their original flavor,
which they seldom do when occupying
place with ther eatables.
Once a week, at the least the refrig-
orator should receive a thorough
cleaning. Take out all the victuals
and place in cool place, covering
them over TO protect them from dust.
II there is any ice in it take 1t out and
roll in several thicknesses Of old flannel
or heavy ba ;ging. and put in cool
place. Remove all the shelves and any
adjustable apartments, and wash in
warm ammonia water. using a good
soap. Many Of the stains and black
marks seen N the zinc shelves can be
removed by securing with pulverized
bath brick and soap. Clean wooden
shelves by scrubbing with brush and
some good soap. When all is thorough
ly washed. place them in the air to dry.
Wash out the inside Of the refrigerator
and dry as well as possible and let air.
When thoroughly dry. replace the
shelves etc, put in the ice. close and
let remain until the inside is cool, then
replace the victuals. It is agood plan
TO place In one corner small, dish OF
charcoal, to arrest any impurities that
might arise. The woodwork OF most
refrigerators may be kept looking nice
