Fresh Boiled Water Necessary for 9
Good Cup of Tea.

All tea and coffee drinkers can tell
by their taste If the water from which
the beverage is made has not boiled
or has boiled too much. Either of
these conditions will spoil the flavor
of the costliest tea or the best coffee
berry. But not every one knows the
reason or how to avoid the result.
The secret is in putting good fresh
water into a clean kettle already
warm and setting it to boil quickly,
then taking 1t right off to use in tea,
coffee and other drinks before it is
spoiled. If the water is allowed to
steam and simmer and evaporate till
all the good of the water is In the air,
and the lime and iron and dregs lef,
in the kettle, you must not expect Q
well favored cup of tea or coffee.

Had Done Nothing.

"What are you here for ?" asked a
kind.hearted visitor of prisoner in the
county Jail yesterday. "They put
me in here for doing nothing" "If
you haven'tdone anything" suggest
ed the visitor, "you ought not to be
behind the bars. If you tell the
truth your case ought to be investi.
gated" "Tm telling the truth; they
put me in here for doing nothing"
"May I ask what charge there is
against you ?" continued the sympa.
thetic visitor. "Vagrancy," was the
curt reply. The visitor suddenly lost
all interest in the prisoner and re.

Epoch.

The transition from long, lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the in
dividual. Such a remarkable event
is treasured in the 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 Bitters. So many
feel they owe their restoration to
health, to the use OF the Great Alter
alive 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

woman's Smiles and woman's Tears.

One to enliven, the other to soften the
heart of mankind. An old bachelor once
said women were either "all smiles or all
tears;" but this cannot be true for what
would there be "twixt tear and smile"
Women have enough to bear to make them
call tears" and enough to hope for to make
them "all smiles" When afflicted with
nervousness, "female weaknesses" sick
headache, and the numerous disease pecul-

temptation, and for "tears," but when they
consider that there is sure remedy in DR.

The World Fun Of Death Traps.

Accordingtothe American Analyst,
the worst enemies of the human race
are the doctors, who try to prolong
our miserable existence in world
full of death traps. One medico tells
you not to eat or drink what you
relish because you will eat or drink
too much. Another says you must
eat only what you fancy, because
otherwise you will bolt your food
without giving to each morsel the
thirty-siX mastications necessary for
digestion. You must wear a respir-
ator over your mouth, q pad on your
chest, and a swarth of flannel round
your loins. If you live in town you
will die of fog; if you go to the coun-
try, you will be poisoned by bad
drainage; If you drink water you are
tempting the typhoid fiend; milk
spells scarlatina, and tea cake is sud-
den death. Do you shun these tenn
pestuous pleasures of the senses and
take refuge in the recreations of the
mind? Do you borrow novel from
the circulating library? That is to
import the germs of disease into q
healthy household. The volume in
your hands may have been perused

Hot Water for Inflamed Eyes.

Buffalo Times.
Hot water is now a remedy so
popular and varied in applications
that it is not surprising to hear it
recommended for the treatment of
infiamed and itching eyes. An
American writer, a woman whose
eyesight was wonderful, considering
her age and the immense amount OF
labor she performed, attributed ii
mainly to the custom of bathing her
eyes freely in water as hot
as could be borne, night and morn
ing, a habit continued for many years.
