Weak
and Weary

In early summer the warmer weather is espec-
tally weakening and enervating, and that tired
feeling is very prevalent, The great benefit
which people at this season derive from Hoods
Sarsaparilla proves that this medicine "makes
the weak strong" ltdoes not act Ike n stimu-
liant, imparting fictitious strength, but Hoods
Sarsaparilla builds up in q perfectly natural
way all the weakened parts, purifes the blood,
creates good annette. - -

InrIiisitfYe.

A western gentleman recently gave a
housewarming party, having just moved
into a new dwelling. A large company
was invited, and the entire mansion was
thrown open TO the guests. The house
was modern in its appointments TO the last
degree, even to being lighted with cleo
tIicity instead of gas.
One young man among the guests saw
much to arouse his curiosity, and was on
the alert for new discoveries.
A celebrated singer had just taken H..r
place at the piano when this young man,
who was standing in the lower hall near
the parlor door, caught sight of something
that looked like a black rubber button in
the center of a small marble disk. What
could that be forY
He was so anxious to know that he
could not listen to the singer. The crowd
was great, and he felt sure he could exam
inc the curiosity without being noticed.
lie passed his hands over it slyly, touched
the rubber or metal button with his finger.
pressed il softly, and on the instant the
parlors and hall were in total darkness,
The song of the soprano ended in little
shrek, and the air was full OF excIana-
tons.
Pray keep perfectly qaiet," the voice of
the host was heard saying View have
lights in a moment"
Cropping his way through the crowd, step
ping on their toes, striking against them,
and putting his Outstretched hands into
shrinking faces, the chagrined host finally
made his way into the hall, felt along the
wall until be touched the electric button,
pressed il, and the rooms were again food
ed with light.
The inquisitive young man hadn't pres

"Oh, Is that what that thing is for'" be
said. Il didn't know, or Ill wouldn't

CrRING COLDS.

NIhiNG NOLDe-
If the cold is deeper set and affects the
throat and broncbials the most effective
remedy can advise is as follows; Mix to-
gether an ounce of granulated muriate Of
ammonia and half an ounce OF powdered
cubebs. Put a teaspOOnful of this mixture
in a bowl and pour on about half pint Of
hot water. Stir il up well ard then let it
settle. Begin taking this while II is hot, a
swallow every half hour. and continue tax
ing (even after it is cold) for several hours.
In the case of all colds it is very impor-
tant that the bowels be kept open. Any
gentle laxative can be used. preferably
compound Iicorice powder.
If all colds made themselves manifest in
the same way it would be a comparatively
easy matter TO treat them. but ~ two
colds act in the same way, and no two peo-
pie are affected in exactly the same way.
Decidedly The cold that is especially disa-
greeable is the one that shows itself in a
feverish condition-the hot, tigh head
ache and the dry, hot. creeping sensation
of the skin.
Where these symptoms occur. II it Is
possible for you to keep yourself indoors
and out OF drafts and 80 on. tincture OF
Rconite will remove the disacreeable con
ditions. / advise the homeopathic tinct-
ure Of aconite. Add ten drops 10 half "A
glassful of water, and take n mOuthful
every half hour until the sensation Of dry
Dess Of the skin has passed away. The
effect of aconite is to open the pores. and
too much care cannot be used TO avoid ex-
posure to drafts and the consequent taking
of more cold.
CURE FOR EARACHE.
In the case Of children earache is an espe-
cially disagreeable effect Of exposure. and
IL easily cured by a very simple remedy.
Take bit Of cotton, soak it in sweet oil or
glycerine, sprinkle black pepper over II.
insert IL in the ear and keep the child ia
where it is warm for few hours and the
trouble wiz soon he over. Another old
fashioned but excellentr remedy for earacne
is 10 boil an onion. remove the outer layers
until only the httie smooth core OF the
onion remains, and insert II IN the ear as
warm as the child can bear II.
And just here let me say that eArscbe,

cases, fsceache. might Dc avoided II people
would make \ practice OF bathing In the
