The best medical writer's claim that the sue
cessful remedy for nasal catarrh must be nom
irritating, easy OF application, and one that will
reach all the remote sores and liberated sur
faces. The history OF the efforts to treat
catarrh during the past obliges us to admit that
only one remedy has met these conditions, aud
that is Ely's Cream Balm. This pleasant remedy
has mastered catarrh as nothing else has ever
done. and both physicians and patients freely
c0neede this fact. The more distressing symp-
toms yield to it.

The Perfect Home.


That woman, who, as wife and
mother, thinks her life narrow com
pared to that of some friend who has
chosen as her field of work the lecture
platform or one of the professions,
may see grand possibilities in the fol-
lowing sketch Of a perfect home by
the late Helen Hunt Jackson
The most perfect home / ever saw
was a little house into the sweet in
cense of whose fires went no costly
things. A thousand dollars served as
a yearly living for father, mother and
three children. But the mother was
the creator of home; her relations
with the children were the most beau
tiful / have ever seen; every inmate of
the house involuntarily looked into
her face for the keynote Of the day.
and it always rang clears From the
rosebud or clover leaf which, in spite
of her hard homework, she always
found time to put beside our plates at
breakfast, down to the story she had
in hand to read in the evening. there
was no intermission of her influence.
She has always been and will always
be my ideal of a mother, wife and
home maker. If to her quick brain,
loving heart and exquisite face had
been added the appliances of wealth
and enlargements of wide culture,
hers would have been absolutely the
ideal home. As it was, it was the best
l have aver seen.

Delicate Chinaware.

Belleek ware is the latest craze of
china collectors. 1t is manufactured
in a little Irish town, is of a rich ivory
tint, and is SO ine and light that d
faint wind might blow it away. A
cup and aucer OF this ware carries
out the idea of a cactus in delicate
leaf like design of the saucer, and the
cup shaped like the blossom with a
prickly handle. This ware fires we'll
and brings out delicacy and richness
of tint exquisitely. The housewife
who owns it, however, must see to it
with her own dainty fingers, for the
best of servants cannot be trusted
with such paper like china. Every
woman possessed of handsome china
and cut glass must give it her personal
attention.-AtgdntG Constitution.

How to Make MacaronL.
OF curse in America it is impossi-
bic to have macaroni quite fresh I'M
less one lives near where it is manu-
featured, but there is no reason why
it should not be made at home;
for the best quality of italian
macaroni semolino is used, or half
semolino and half wheat flour, but it
may be made very we'll of ordinary
bread -four. To make it richer eggs
r often added. For the German
market it is made with eggs.
To one pound of flour add one egg,
well beaten, and enough water to
make a batter that can be rolled; roll
out thin on the pastry board and cut
in strips. Dry in the sun. - Good

Two Postofice Women
There are about one hundred women
clerks in the p~ostoffice department at
Washington, and the highest salary
paid there is 81, 600. Mrs. Patti L.
Collins probably holds the position
which it would be most difficult to re-
place. She is an expert reader of
manuscript and the hierogiyphics
that appear on some of the mail mat
ter that passes through the dead let
ter Office. She knows a dozen langu-
ages and has an excellent memory for
names, SO that she can place streets
in every civilized city in the world,
written in no matter what language.
She has been ten years in the post
office.
Miss Rosa Sewell is in the money
order division-the international sec
tion-and receives 81, 600. She does
miscellaneous work, which includes a
great deal of translating. She has
charge of correspondence in twenty
countries, including the British col
onies. Her correspondents write in
their own language, and everything
that comes in has to be translated
and put on file. Miss Sewell speaks
French, German, Spanish, italian,
Swedish, Norwegian and Danish.

Publicity in Tax Appeals.

-A
Assem5iSman Mulione has a bill in
the Legislature ffor the relief of Jersey
City Tax Payers. which contains at
the same time n or two very good
features along with one or two which
do not seem quite practicable.
Briefly summarized, the bill makes
the Board of Finance a Board of Tax
Appeals. and it requires that the
members or a majority Of them make
a personal inspection of all property
on which the assessment is questioned,
that they publicly advertise in the
Official papers the application for re-
ductionl and finally that they grant a
public hearing on the application.
Now the first thing that will be APP
parent to everyone is the enormous
increase which this bill will cause in
the labor of the members of the Board
. nance. Personal inspection OF
the properties on which appeals are
made would take their whole time for
weeks, and then there remain the
public hearings which are sure to be
prolonged and tedious. The members
of the Board of Finance are only paid
$500 a year. They are all men
Of high business standing, whose time
has a large cash value, and it is very
certain that if this additional labor is
to be imposed on the Board either the
pay must go up or the calibre of the
members will go down. The mem
bers of the tax board are paid So, 500,
and they have no public duties a v
those of estimating the assessments
on property. The Board of Finance
has already quite as much work and
responsibility as the members are
paid for assuming.
The other features of Mr.. Mullone's
bill are good, it seems to us. The
provision for unsparing publicity in
al cases of proposed reduction is a
proper safeguard against undue
fayoritism to corporations or wealthy
or influential individuals. Mr.. Null
lone should abandon his project to
impose this uncompensated work on
the financiers, and should then press
the enactment of the other portions
of his bill.

against the political rottenness of Hudson coun-

frauds the bill is designed to prevent.
A plain simple law like that now in
force in New York State, with the
addition of the simplest provision for
the seclusion of the voter for q
couple of minutes with a good
supply of tickets, would be better
than all the cumbersome schemes that
all the cranks in the Ballot Reform
League could devise in their whole
lives.

Giving Shape to Feet.

LIVERY one, but especially children,
should wear properly fitting shoes, no
matter how common their material.
They should be neither too large nor to }
small, and should have low, fat heels
that must be promptly "righted" as soon
as they begin to wear on one side. II
the toes of the foot show tendency to
overlap they should be rubbed with the
hands once or twice day; and if this
care be given when the curving com
mences, it will, as rule, prove sufficient
to correct any irregularities of this ma
ture. If nail is wayward in its growth,
trim it only lightly at the ailing corner,
but fully at the opposite corner. If both
corners grow too deeply into the flesh,
clip them carefully and lightly, and then
scrape the centre of the nail from the tip
to near the root until it is thin and fexi'

refractory nails-provided, of course,
they are not neglected too long.-Ansers-

Two Thousand Years Behind the Times

To the. east of and adjoining the colony

of perhaps 5000 acres some 300 descend
ants 81 the branch of the Aztecs called
Mayos, now intermixed with considera-

of the land is uneleared, n few acres be-
isg all the land required Cor cultivation

ployed by them.
These people are quiet, doeile, honest,
unleamed, and, though more industrious
than The northern Indians, are by no
means en.erprising. Their needs are few,
their surroundings the most primitive.

RUNNING WATER.

Those who never have had the luxury
cannot realize the importance OF having
running water in the farmhouse. Even
though not introduced in pipes through
the building, small stream OF sweet
spring water constantly running in the
kitchen or at some nearby convenient
place, is wonderful co.7enience and
source of health. Even if the stream
only comes to the outside, near the
kitchen door, it is great improvement
on any we'll with a pump or windlass for
drawing. And in how many instances
might the farmer, with comparatively
little expense, enjoy this luxury by clear
ing out spring on the hillside or other
ground higher than mis- house? Pipe is
not very expensive. The opening of a
ditch in which to lay the pipe may be
dug to below frost line at intervals when
little or nothing else is crowding, and
when done, if the work is well done, it
will last for many years and save many
,tops and lots of trouble and inconven-
,ence. 1t is best for the health OF the
women folks, by all means, to introduce
ihe water into the kitchen, so as to pre-
7ent their taking cold by going out at
improper times or when in improper con-
lition. The waste water can be con-
lucted away and utilized for other pur-
,oses.-Ne,o York Herald.

CABBAGE GROWING.

The cabbage is one of the most val.
liable garden vegetables, and, when
properly managed, 1t will afford very de-
sirahlc food during the whole year. The
early varieties begin to come in in June,
and by growing a few varieties which
come in later constant succession of
fresh ones may be had until the hard
frosts compel the latest ones to be gath
cred and put in the cellar or in pits for
winter and spring use. This vegetable
is healthful and nutritious. 1t contains
more nitrogen than potatoes, and twice
as much sulphur, the latter giving it a
high value for early spring and summer
consumption. It's effects are laxative
and Alternative, and for winter use it is
especially valuable as corrective when
much salt food is consumed. Thus salt
meat and cabbage are rightly considered
as complementary foods, and the latter is
a specific against such diseases as scurvy
and other blood disorders which affect
the skin. The Ohio experiment station
shows by tests that the best early kind
is the Wakefield, which is not only as
early but more prolific than any other
early kind; the best second early is said
by the station to be the Henderson
succession; Winningstadt is awarded the
highest place as producing the most and
solidest heads, and the writer has found
it to afford a constant supply until the
Brunswick comes in in the fall, and this
is succeeded by the latest varieties. The
Savoy Is by far superior in flavor to any
other variety.-Meao York Times.

SPINACH.

There is only one way known of fcooking
spinach in this country. That is boiling
it in an abundance Of water. The French
have number of ways. They serve spin
ach in a delightful cream soup, and a Ia
creme as vegetable, q manner of serv-
ing entirely unknown to US. AS rule,
greens of all kinds. are cooked too much
in this country. Tender, young spinach
will cook in ten minutes if it is plunged
into boiling water; twenty minutes is
long enough to cook older, tougher
greens. The addition of one quart of ten
der, young dandelion leaves to peck of
spinach leaves gives pleasant and
wholesome bitter flavor to the dish.
Only the young heart leaves of the dan
delion should be selected for this pur
pose. After cooking and draining
spinach leaves the French cook pours
cold water over them to freshen them
and brighten their color. After this they
are again drained and heated up, with
little butter and half cup of cream or
rich milk and well-seasoned, and are
then spinach la creme. They may be
eaten simply with butter, or if heated in
stock instead of cream, in the American
way with vinegar. A wreath of slices of
hard-boiled eggs served around mould
of spinach adds to its appearance and is
an addition to the flavor of the dish.
A spinach soup is almost as good as
the sorrel soup of the French, which is
dignifed by the name of "soup a la
bonne femme" or good woman's soup.
For spinach soup cook quart of ten
der spinach for ten minutes in boiling
water. Drain it; throw it into cold wa
ter and drain again. Chop it fine with
knife and press it through puree
sieve. Take this strained spinach and
add to it three pirts of white stock
heated to the boiling point; add two
tablespoonfuls of flour mixed in table,
spoonful of butter and stir the soup con-
SANITY till it boils. When it has cooked
ten minutes, add two pats or tablespoon
fuls of butter, and cup of cream, in
which the yolks of two eggs have been
beaten. Remove the soup to the back of
the stove before adding the cream and
eggs, and serve it with little squares of
toasted bread in the tureen.-NeU York
Tribune.

FEEDING FOR PROFIT.

For one who keeps horses for speed or
pleasure the main point in selecting food
material is quality, cost being secondary.
The same is true in large degree of those
who keep fine stock for breeding pur-
poses. But the farmer who is feeding
and fattening stock for the market must
study economy as we'll as quality. With
him it is vital question how to keep
his animals IN thriving condition and fit
them for the market at the least cost. TO
starve or underfeed stock leads to ruin
and bankruptcy. If there is more stock
than feed, it is far better to sell off the
surplus at once and keep only what can
be we'll and sufficiently fed.
A great deal of valuable forageis either
allowed to 60 absolutely to waste, or is
fed in very wasteful manner. First
among this is corn fodder. 1t may be
cut up to advantage only where there are
appliances for steaming it. For horses
the tops and leaves of corn fodder, fed
without cutting, are the best coarse forage
that can be given. Hay and straw are
best cut, wet, and mixed with ground
feed. 1t is good economy to grind all
kinds of grain before feeding. 1 grind
corn, cob and all; fine for horses and
hogs and coarse for cattle and sheep.
Oats, barley, rye, and wheat offal should
be ground fine. My way of feeding
horses and mich COWS is to take two
parts of cob-meal to one of oatmeal, wet
thoroughly, and mix with fine-cut hay,
male stopping wet. I never feed dry
food to horses, and wet is much the best
for mich COWS. BIillet is coming into
general use. It makes good cattle-feed,
| but should be fed to horses sparingly,
and with care. am not so much afraid
of the danger of founder as of the fuzz
on the heads. The cheapest feed for
stock-hogs and breeding-sows is ground
feed, mixed with clover-hay cut short.
Nothing surpasses this in cheapness or
health, and SOW fed on this mixture
will be likely to have large flow of
milk. Itshould not be fed to fattenlng
hogs, as it will give the lard greenish
cast. Poultry of all kinds can be given
clover, cut fine, and then mixed and
cooked with chop.-American AgricuI.

Old smokers prefer "Tansill's Punch
Tendency to Specialism.

The increasing tendency to specialism
in all the trades and professions is no.
where more marked than in the medical
profession, ,shere the young NJ. D. finds
himself, before his sheep-skin is fairly in
his hands, considering the desirability of
the ''throat and lungs" or the "eye and
ear" or some other equally profitable
combination of disorders. The result is
that the 'tfamily doctor" of the old time,
who attended a family from birth to
death and who was the repository of all
it woes and weaknesses, is no longer
real existence. And the average we'll
doctored mortal who wishes to be reason
ably careful of his health finds himself
strangely divided up among half dozen
specialists. To one he intrusts the care
of his eyes, to another his throat, to a
third his digestion, to afourth his nerves,
and, if it please heaven to afiict him
with more disorders than these, he finds
a "specialist" waiting down the road to
welcome each one.
No doubt there is a good healthy
reason at the bottom of all this and real
benefit to be derived therefrom. No
doubt the marvellous strides of medical
science within the last fifty years have
made the necessity for the specialist, but
it touches ones sense of the comic to
have the experience of young woman
who wished not long ago to consult DR..
Smith, an eye and ear specialist. She
went to large building given up to the
use of physicians.
"You mistake, madam" said the first
physician to whom she presented her
self. sI am not DIR. Smith for the eye
and ear, am DR.. Smith for the throat
and lungs"
"And that is DR.. Smith for the eye
and ear across the hall2"
"No, madam" he answered gravely,
"that is DR.. Smith for the heart and
stomach. DR.. Smith for the eye and ear
is five doors down the corridor. ."-Ne0
