Syrup"

The majority OF well-read phys
icians now believe that Consump-
ton is a germ disease. In other
words, instead of being in the con-
stitution itself it is caused by innu-
merable small creatures living in the
lungs having no business there and
eating them away as caterpillars do
the leaves Of trees.
A Germ The phlegm that is
coughed up is those
Disease. parts of the lungs
which have been
enawed off and destroyed. These
little bacilli, as the germs are called,
are too small to be seen with the
naked eye, but they are very much
alive Just the same, and enter the
body in our food, in the air we
breathe, and through the pores of
the skin. Thence they get into the
blood and finally arrive at the lungs
where they fasten and increase with
frightful rapidly. Then German
Syrup comes in, loosens them, kills
them, expells them, heals the places
they leave, and so nourish and
soothe that, in a short time consump-
tives become germ-procf and we'll. y

TIE SIGN MANUAL or CLEANLINESS.

THE SIGN MANUAL OF CLEANLINESS.
How many ladies know that the sweet
odors with which they love to surround
themselves are really stimulating and re-
acknowledgements and lemon that our
grandmothers folded away in chests of
linen, roses and violets that breathe in
gentle fragrance from every fold and frill
of sweet woman's habiliments to-day,
even the homely scents of sage and ben
zine. There is an occasional grumbler
who, for want of something else to criti-
else, processes an averdon to this per-
fume habit among women and descants
learnedly on the superattraction of we'll
bathed natures own fragrance emana-
ting from a clearly person clothed in
fresh linen. But the grumbler doesn't
understand the sign manual of perfect
cleanliness. Sweet odors, BIKE fresh
flowers, fade swiftly when brought in
proximity with a person which, from dis
ease or carelessness, emits any poisonous
vapors. So the next time when you
meet a lady with that faint, Intoxicating
fragrance lingering in her garments you
may know for a certainty that the clean
illness that is next to goodness is the
basis and beginning of the fragrance
that delights you.-New York Sun.

WOMAN MINER.

Mrs. Shane, a widow with two chill
dren, came to Wyoming two years ago
and took up her residence in Jawbone
Gulch, Silver Crown mining district,
where she took a claim and with her own
hands has kept up the assessment work.
The claim promises to be q paying one,
and already she has uncovered a bodyof
rich gold quartz, with indications of
richer ore as depth is gained.
Mrs. Shane is soldiers widow, and is
a lady of fine education. Her cabin in
Jawbone Gulch bears evidence of refine
ment, and while 1t is in mt of the most
out-of-the-way places in the camp, she
has any number of visitors, among whom
will be found the best people of Silver
Crown and the surrounding country.
To judge from appearance she is about
thirty-fve years old. She has brown
hair, blue eyes, and fair and intellectual
face. For the past year she has been
teaching the Silver Crown public school,
by which means she has made her living
while waiting for her mine to reach pay.

Strange Story Of a Dream.

It was some time in the spring OF 1866
that Jethro Jackson went to Resaca to
look for the grave of his son, who was
killed in battle. Like many others, he
wished to find the remains, and to take
them to Griffin and inter them IN the
family burying ground.
The comrades who laid young jackson
to rest gave the father a description OF
the spot where they had buried him, tell
ing him about the rude pine coffin made
from the boards taken from the bridge.
After many days of tireless search MIR.
Jackson failed to locate his sons grave,
and returned to his home in Griffin. A
few nights after his return he dreamed
that his son came to him and pointed out
the spot where he was buried.
The dream was like a vision. He saw
his son standing beside his bee, and heard
him say:
FEATHER, I am buried under a mound
which was thrown up after l was killed.
You will know the mound when you see
it by the pokeberry bushes growing upon
it. Go and take me up and carry me
home to mother"
So strong an impression did this
dream make upon Mr. Jackson, that he
returned at once to Resaca, taking with
him one of the comrades who had buried
his son.
The mound was found just as de-
scribed in the dream, snd the ~pokeberries
were growing upon it. An excavation
was made, and a few feet below the
earth the rough pine coffin was found,
and in it were the remains of young
Jackson. He was fully identified, not
only by the coffin and the shoes, which
were present from the father, but by the
name which was on the clothing.-At-

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
PUTTING AWAY WOODEN DRESSES.

At this season of the year, when wool.
en- goods are about to be laid aside for
the summer, the following advice il
good: Use soap bark for cleansing wool
en- dress goods. Soak ten cents worth
over night in a pail Of warm-not hot
water. In the morning strain and add
two-thirds of it to the water in which
the goods are to be washed, and, if yer!
much soiled, a %teaspoonful of ammonia
also. Pour the rest of the water in which
the soap bark was soaked into the rims
ing water, wiring we'll and hang out of
doors where they will dry rapidly. When
nearly dry iron on the wrong side. The
soap bark not only cleanses, but gives a
little body to the material, such as new
goods have.-Mw York Journal.

SOME REALTY RECIPES,

Perfumes should be INDUCED in by.
every one, for their stimulating and re-
freshing properties cannot be overesti-
mated. They are health and beauty
| giving, especially lavender, lemon, roses,
v~iolets, sage and benzoin. Those with
pale complexion can in time bring color
to their cheeks by bathing with benzoin
water or lait virginia..
Thick lips can be reduced by rubbing
with tannin.
Pale lips can be induced to show color
by friction with black grapes.
Lemon, orange and cucumber peels are
excellent for the complexion. Let them
soak in your water jug, for they not
only soften, but tonify and freshen, the
complexion, keeping the flesh healthy
and firm.
When wiping the face always wipe
upwards for this saves many u wrinkle
and fullness under the chin. The eyes
should always be wiped toward the
nose, as it presses out the lines from the
corners. N
u goou pau " Pieoeifo Vno chill
from becoming set and old is to give the
face perfect rest four or five times a day.
No matter how busy ones life is, if pos
sible to lie down for ever five minutes at
a time, close the eyes and keep the face
in repose. If this is done daily it will
prevent the haggard look noticeable with
too many women. .
Food powder will not harm the skin;
on the contrary, it gives a soft, cool
look and comfortable feeling. Rice
powder is the best to use. It is a good
plan to cleanse the face prior to retire
ing to rest with a little cream or milk of
cucumber. Apply with a soft piece of
linen, dabbing it we'll over the face,
then wipe off the %superduous moisture.
This cleanses the skin better than water,
and encourages a delicate and white
complexion. Rain water should be
used whenever possible, otherwise dis
titled or rose water is good.-Rome

WOMEN EMPLOYED By ENGLAND.

The employment of women in English
Government Offices is steadily progress
ing. The p~ostofice led the way, and
now the war Office is following suit. A
few weeks ago, says the Pail Mall Gazette,
there were seventeen ome clerks in
that department; now there are twenty,
and it is proposed to bring the number
up to forty. 1t is true that the war
office officials have not hitherto dis
played a very lively faith in the business
capacity of the fair sex. As yet their
female clerks are only employed in type
writing, a light mechanical kind of
work for which it must certainly he ad-
mitted ome are peculiarly adapted.
The official mind m,ves slowly; but that
it should move at all, and that in the
right'direction is eminently encouraging.
There is every reason to hope that
the movement to which the strikes
and rumors of strikes among
men has given such an i'm
petus will extend to all the Govern
ment departments, and that before long
the civil service will offer q free and
open career to the intelligence of women.

A Spoon. Collecting Mania.

And now the mania for keepsake
spoons has broken out in America. OF
late years it has been the custom for
American travelling abroad to pick up a
spoon patterned so as to be emblematic
of each city they visited-a spoon with q
bear on it in BYra, one with a liver "a
nonescript bird) in Liverpool, and so
OF. This year New York silversmiths
have produced spoons to remember this

HOW TO KEEP ICE.

There are three or four things that will
help to keep the precious nugget of ice
from melting away if the h~ousekeeper
will only remember them. One is, that
to keep ice warm is the way to keep it
cold. A piece of ice in a pitcher, with
the pail over the pitcher and q rug over
the pail, will keep all night. A piece
of ice in a refrigerator, covered. with a
snug, white blanket, will cheat the
greedy ice maj every day, and snap fancy
fingers at the milk that does not dare to
get sour, or the beefsteak that dares not
fail. These things are admirable in their
way and should be in every hat-band.
But the greatest trick of all is news
papers. With plenty of newspapers
above, below and on every side, the way
a piece of ice will keep is a joke.-Ladses'

man. He gave me his note in pay
ment. This note ! gave to John NJ.

tween Mr.. Pagan and myself"
Thomas Pagan was seen this fore
noon by representative OF the RErUB-
LIcAN at his place of business, on
Orange street above Second, and the
above denial was read to him and he
was asked how true it was.
Mr.. Pagan said: Yes, that is true;
but tho $50 l paid Lee has nothing to
do with that, it was entirely different
from that; but let him go on with his
denlals, he'll soon find where he will
bring Up at.
II having been stated at the same

President Wales that Lilburne Chan
der Esq, told him that Franz Gingle-
bach told him (Chandler) that he Gin

asked him how it was about Gingle-

my Office. He was talking about Sc
curing city contracts, when | asked

get any more. He said he had paid
Lee either $50 or @25 CHR G. was not
sure which, for his influence, but it
was no use, Lee said he cuuld do moth
ing more for him, and he said he knew
of several others who paid Leo money
for his influence. Mr.. Chandler seemed
surprised that Ginglebach should have
denied what he was SO empathic III de-
claling.
