Best Thing He Ever Saw.

The following is an extract from let
ter written by Mr.. D. A. Reynolds, edi
tor and proprietor of the Herald, Lyons,
Mich, under date of January 18th, 1890:
"You will observe that I have given
your advertisement position on the first
page of the Herald, while other proprie-
tary medicines have had to take the run
of the paper. The reason for doing this
is, that upon receiving your "copy"
number of the cures effected seemed SIM
liar to that OF which my little son was
suffering, case of blood poison, or ir-
ritable sores breaking out all over his
body. To-day he is entirely free from
disease, and one bottle of Swift's Spe-
cific Is. S. S. did the work. Now this
is the reason for giving you the position,

Meals Spoiled.

An easy way to spoil the evening
meal is for each member to tell the
sad tale of all that has gone wrong
during the day. To mention the dis
appointments and vexations, to tell
of the Sights that were endured and
the offenscs that were given, and to la
ment over the results of this intellect
tous combinations of affairs, is
enough to counteract the refreshing
effect OF all the good things with
which the most generous and skillful
housewife can load the table. Better
put this complaining off until some
other time. What is the best time for
it, it is hard to say. Perhaps an in
definite postponement would be hap
Ply thing for all concerned. Half
the things that we groan over to-
night will right themselves before to-
morrow night, if we let them alone

Amateur Entertainments.

Most amateur entertainments are given
in places where there are no regular
stages, and in such case a platform
should be built about three feet high and
ten or more deep, the full width of the
room. Curtains of canton flannel can
be used, or large screens, if such are
more convenient. While the characters
are being posed for tableau, or the stage
being set for any scene, the piano or or
chestra can be played as in theatre,
and for that reason the piano should be
outside of the curtain or on the floor. A
dressing room should be parted off on
each side of the stage.
There are books which have many
bright little comedies requiring two,
three or four characters. Among them
are: "a Happy Pair" only requiring
two persons; ga Fair Encounter" need
ing but two women, or "Weeping
Wives" needing four. This last was
translated from the French by Mrs.
James r. Pitcher, of Short Hills, N. j.
There are many others which are bright
and good. Let the manager beware of
tragic pieces, or scenes from "Mac-
beth. Mary and Elizabeth, or g Romeo
and Juliet" Let everything Of this kind
be light and sprightly 1t is within the
possibilities for man or woman who is
a good manager of parlor entertain
ments to write piece that shall be full

The Pocket in the Glove.

The latest continuance which is in
teresting the ladies is a glove with a
pocket in it. The pocket is tiny af-
fair, fixed in the palm of the left
glove, and is thus silent testimony to
the fact that most women are right
handed. It is for nickels and dimes.
On entering car or stage, the fingers
of the right hand deity open the little
pocket, and the necessary change is
easily secured It is a question
whether the gloves will become the
rage. Most women are mighty par
ticular about the fit of their gloves,
and whether Or not the insertion of a
pocket, no matter how tiny, in the
palm of one of them mars the SYM
metry of pair is problem which ex-
perience alone can solve.-New York

An open winter, dry and not cold,
is worth millions of dollars to the rail
roads of the country. During a pro-
tracted cold spell accidents from brok-
en- rails are of daily occurrence. The

when there is loss of life, but the Of
fcers of the railroads do when they
pay the bills. Ten thousand dollars
worth of railroad property is frequent

Something to Think About.

What is man who "shrinks into him self"
like, when shrunk?
Where is ''the sad sea-"
What is the exact sensation of the man
who finds out that he ''has nourished scor-
pion in his bosom for yearsT
What is 'ruling the roast?"
Whether the man who ''did not know what
to do" ever got jobs
Whether ''the teeth of a storm" ever bite,
and, if so, is lightning the results
When a man is much fatigued, may he be
spoken of as sin his weak moments"
And did you ever see any one BELL the
