Epoch.

The transition from long, lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the in
dividual. Such 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 find relief by use of Electric
Bitters. Sold at SOC and 81 per bot

The Stocking Bag.

The shades Of night are falling fast,
housewife, through her work at last,
Sits down with contented sigh,
When 10! this object meets her eye
The stocking bag
TITS full-the sides are bullying vide
The mouth cannot it's contents hide;
A ragged sock is peeping out
To show her It's beyond doubt
The stocking bag
Unwelcome sight to weary eyes
Profane CALCULATIONS rise,
And though the socks need all her yarn,
Her first wild impulse is to darn
That stocking bag
She mends-and signs for angel-wings-
Not that she's ripe for heavenly things;
This is the thought that takes the lead
Wings save the feet, and thus, no need
OF stocking bag!
A woman's work is never done,
According to the Proverbs run;
II this be true-and there's small doubt
Life always will to her hold out
Some stocking bag

Facts Worth Knowing.

From Good Housekeeping
For faded green blinds, rub on
little linseed oil.
Put bits of camphor gum in trunks
and drawers to prevent mice from DO
ing any injury.
To freshen leather chair seats, va
Uses, bags, etc., rub them with the
well-beaten white of an egg.
To prevent tin pans from rusting,
rub fresh lard on them, and set in a
hot oven until thoroughly heated.
Soak cloths, that fade, over night
in water in which has been dissolved
one ounce of sugar of lead to a pail
full of rain water.
When washing fine white fannels,
add a tablespoonful of pulverized
borax 10 pailful of water. This
will keep them soft and white.
To Danish red ants from the pan
tries, strew whole cloves around the
. shelves. The same is also a good
moth exterminator.
To keep fat-irons clean and smooth
rub them with piece of wax done
up in cloth, then seour or rub them
on paper strewn with coarse salt.
Oil of turpentine, or benzine, will
remove spots Of paint or varnish from
cotton or wooden goods. They should
be washed in soap-suds after the ap-
cation.
If paint has been spattered on win
dow panes, wet the spots with water
and rub thoroughly with a new silver
dollar; or they may be washed with
hot, sharp vinegar.
TO set delicate colors in embroid-
cred handkerchiefs, soak them ten
minutes before washing in, pail Of
water in which dessertspoonful OF
turpentine has been stirred.
When stove is cracked, a cement
may be made of wood-ashes and salt
in equal proportions, mixed to paste
with cold water. Fill the cracks with
this when the stove is cool, and it
will soon harden.
Steel pens are destroyed by the
aid in the ink. If an old nail or old
steel pen is put in the ink, the acid
therein will exhaust itself on them,
and pens in daily use will remain in
good condition much longer.

The woman who wears the beauty spot
veil is having a hard time of 1t these
days. When you meet her ON the street
you will observe hat she has a worried.
anxious look that you don't understand
The secret of 1t is hat she is wondering
where on her facial anatomy that blessed
beauty spot has located itself at the pre-
else instant she is trying to look at you
with her most cordial and assured smile.
For it is just as likely to be on the tip of
her nose as anywhere else, or worse
still, to be planted under the left eye,
giving her the look OF an amiable slug
ger who has come off second best in her
last encounter.
But the worst is when the black disc
gets itself located squarely in the center
Of her eye, and lends to that mild beam
ing organ the glare of a maniac or Of a
cat looking tut of a dark corner. There
are delightful possibilities in that polka
dot II 1t it rightly managed, cuddled
closely up to the corner of the red lips,
or slyly accentuating the dimple in the
left cheek. But, like all very good things
well placed, it is the most unkindly Of
instruments when placed awry. And
the safe disposal Of it adds still another
burden to the life OF the woman who is

present to do her honor. Mrs. Baker
was born ear Springfield, N. J.. She

drinking strong tea OF coffee Mt every

good. as she has never used eyeglasses.
Her voice and her memory for dates are

1t is estimated that there are in Paris
and the department OF the Seine 30, 900
persons-chiefy women-engaged in the
various washing and ironing establish
ments which abound in that district.
These people nave a great grievance just
now with respect to which their ''syndi-
cat do la blanchisserie" Is preparing a
petition for presentation to the chamber
Of deputies as soon as It reassembles.
They complain Of the unfair competi-
ton TO which they are subjected by
charitable institutions, conducted gen
orally by the sisters Of some religious
order,
These institutions are supported by
benevolent persons. to whom appeals
AVE been made for charity, and some
times have considerable requests made
TO them Their inmates receive no pay,
although they are kept washing and
ironing as long as the blanchisseuses in
private establishments. In this way
they are able TO do work for customers
much cheaper than other firms, who find
that they must lower their prices to
starvation point or lose their trade.
Their petition says: I'm the name Of
an honest and hard working class Of
women we ask you to pass n law put
ting an end to this unfair competition,
which affects their welfare seriously.
In addition to the material interests in
yolved we object TO see so many un
happy orphan girls, whose parents have
fallen too soon in the battle Of life, Eek
plotted so m~ercilessly in establishments
which are reported charitable, and in
the name Of humanity we ask that the
public authorities shall put an end to
such a state Of things. London Tele-

There are people kind hearted enough
to say kind things of Miss Letter, the
heiress, who is now reported engaged to
the son of IN English duke, though the
lordhng's name is not yet given. The
kindest Of all things said is that she is
the heroine of the "Anglomaniacs," and
that the reason that, with all her beauty
and fortune, she has gone through sew
eral seasons and is not yet married, is
because her heart is for some ''Jencks''
of the west, while her mamma is deter
mined to make n titled match for her.
Those who are ready to declare Ameri-
can girls eager to snap up titles at any
personal cost may be interested in a new
way in the probable fact that this Chi
cago girl has kept dukes son on proba-
ton since last her mother took her to
England, a year ago.-New York Tele-

A struggle of some interest to careful
housewives is now in progress for the
control Of the American market for
prunes. The California growers of this
fruit assert boldly that they will have
the entire control of the market Just as
soon rs their supply can be made to
equal the demand. As a matter of fact
the California article has gained so much
favor here that the French packers have
found it to their advantage to pack their
goods in imitation Of the California pack
ages.
Since the market for French prunes
opened at Bordeaux there has been a
steady and considerable advance in the
price. II is declared however. that
with the duty added the French article
can still be sold at 4 profit under the
price asked for the native product.
There is a lively field for speculation in
prunes in Bordeaux, California and New
York. When the dealers are 'loaded up"
with stock an interesting contest to the
intelligent insiders will be fairly under
way. The palate Of the housewife will
be the umpire.-New York Tribune.
