SAVING WORK.
A Husbands Help in Saving the House

A Husbands Help I'm Saving the House
wife.
Every woman needs large table on
which to wash dishes, milk-pans, cans,
pals, etc, and 1 thought | had done
about the right thing when L furnished
my wife one three feet wide and five
feet long. But 1 found that it took a
good deal of hard work to keep it clean,
and one day my wife suggested zinc
cover. / bought for one dollar sheet
which completely covered it, and it is
always smooth and bright with less
than fourth the work it required be-
fore covering. / believe the one thing
which has saved the most work is my
arrangement for setting milk. We are
remote from pond from which to cut
ice. and SO do not use it for cooling
milk. For some years we used our cell
lar, which is cool and suita BILE. but the
work of carrying milk up and down
stairs is so heavy that L determined
to arrange something better. We have
a well of good, cold water six feet from
the summer kitchen. / made tank
one foot wide and deep enough to hold
a three-gallOn can of milk, and placed
it just insided the summer Kitchen and
cut hole through the siding so that we
can pump directly into the tank. At
the bottom a faucet projects outside, so
that the water can be drawn into a
small cemeted basin, which discharges
into a tile drain. A waste-pipe at the
top discharges into this basin, and now
when the men come to the pump for
water, instead of pumping tubful for
US to empty, the waste water runs
through the tank and cools our milk
The tank is made of inch-and-a half
lumber, and painted three coats inside
and out. / am not sure but it would be
nearly as cheap and better, to make a
box of inch lumber and line it with
zinc, as it would be easy to keep it
sweet.
Our cellar has a cement floor, and
food keeps cooler and will keep sweet
longer placed on the cellar bottom than
in a cupboard or safe, but it must be
covered from flies, and when covered
closely it often has musty taste. We
have prepared some boxes of light
wood, with wire such as we use for fly
screens to give ventilation. Two boxes
are needed, as we sometimes must put
warm vegetables in, and these should
have a box by themselves. By opening
a cellar at night, SO as to thoroughly
ventilate 1t, darkening it in daytime
and sprinkling the cement floor with
cold water occasionally. a cellar may
be kept delightfully."- cool.-Waldo f.

There's a ,oide difference
between the help that's talked of
and the help that's guaranteed
Which do you want, when you're
buying medicine?
If you're satisfied with words, you
get them with every blood-puriier
but one. That one is DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. With
that, you get guarantee. If it
doesn't help you, you have your
money back. On this plan, medi-
cine that promises help is pretty
sure to give it.
But it's because the medicine is
different, that it's sold differently.
It's not like the sarsaparillas, which
are said to be good for the blood
in March, April, and May. At all
seasons and in all cases, it cures
permanently, as nothing else can,
all the diseases arising from a tor.
pid liver or from impure blood.
It's the best blood purifier, and
it's the cheapest, no matter how
many doses are offered for a dollar
With this, you pay only for the
good you get.
Can you ask more?

was set up the night before. Then he
has two and one-half hours for rest and
supper. These hours are bad enough,
but the worst part of it is they are not
regular, but vary more or less accord
ing to the size of the paper issued. On
Saturday the comp" often puts in four
teen hours of good hard work preparing
for the big Sunday paper. These OBJ
servations pertain to not one, but all
the great morning newspapers in the
country. Compositors on afternoon
papers and in book printing establish
ments are not worked SO hard, but as
their pay is twenty-five per cent. lower
than that of the morning paper COM

HECTOR'S REFORMATION,

Dissipated Cat Effectively Rebukcd by
the Correct Life of Another.
Samuel Mcdonald. saloonkeeper al
Frankfort road and Vienna street. pos.
sesses a cat which he calls Hector, and
which, up to half a year ago, was a
staid and happy pet, enjoying the re-
spect and affection of the whole Nc.
Donald family.
The cats downfall commenced ona
day when he wandered into saloon,
which is attached to the Mcdonald
home, and, as he was favorite with
Tim, the bartender, was allowed to i'm.
bibe small quantity of beer. There.
after he was a regular frequenter at
the saloon, and soon began to have as
ardent and perpetual thirst for beer
as the most confirmed inebriate AL!
of his former decorum and self-respect
dwindled away, and Hector soon be.
came dirty and disre putable, avoided
the family and lay under ia bic in the
barroom all day. He had lost all friends
but Tim, the bartender, who several
times gave him a good quantity OF
beer, which he lost no time in drinking.
This state of things continued until
the appearance of a new cat in the
house-a very picture of rigid rcspecta-
bility-which, the few times that Hec-
tor saw him, treated him with the ut
most contempt and refused all over
lures of acquaintanceship. About a
month ago, after peculiarly bitter
atfront, which almost caused a fight,
Hector suddenly left the barroom and
was gone several days When he re-
appeared he was clean and presentable
once more, and seemed to have recov-
cred his old pride and spirits. Nothing
could tempt him to enter the saloon
again, and when Tim offered him beer
once he became furiously enraged. He
resumed his former virtuous habits and
temperate life, and was as tidy and
dainty as ever he was and is now grad
ually winning his way again to the re-
spect and esteem of the family, to the
evident surprise and chagrin of the
other cat.-Philadelphia Times.

THE FARMING WORLD.
TO PREVENT SWARMING,

Transfer the Brood Combs Above the
Queen Excluder.
In paper read before tho Ohio state
convention, e. D. Demarce said: You
can prevent swarming in your apiary
by following my plan and with proper
handling your surplus yield will be
larger than by any other method made
known. l prevent swarming and in.
crease by single simple manipulation
right at the commencement of swarm.

upper story above the queen excluder.
One comb containing some unsealed
brood and eggs is left in the brood cham.

condition is somewhat altered. The
queen has now a new brood nest below
the excluder, while the combs of brooc
are in the center of the super, with the
sides filled out with empty combs above
the queen excluder. In twenty-one
days all the brood will be Matched out
above the excluder, and the bees will
begin to hatch in the queens chambe,
below it; SO a continuous succession o.
young bees is obtained. For extracted

tracing combs as fast as the colony

ly the combs above the exclu,ler will!
be filled with honey by tho time the
bees are Matched, and no other system
is as sure to give one set of combs full

this system is that all the colo1 les pro
