Giving a Bad Dose SkilfuIly.

Heat your spoon in hot water,
squeeze into it few drops of orange
juice, then pour on the oil and add q
few more drops of orange juice, if you
wish to administer dose of oil to n
little patient skilfully and pleasantly.
1t would perhaps be just as we'll if no
hint that medicine of any kind is dis
agreeable were made in the pres
ence of small folks, who often get
their prejudices against it from the
fuss and grimsce made by their elders,
who have to swallow a dose. Many
mothers must, think, plead guilty to
holding the medicine man and his mix
lures over little ones as means OF
punishment when all else fails. In
some families the policeman, in some
the doctor is the bugaboo, ready to
pounce upon all kinds of infantine

Attacked by Wild Hogs.

Charles Stol is pioneer settler of
Hungry Hollow. He is only forty-seven
years of age and there are many resi-
dents there now who are his seniors,
but he was the first man to turn the
virgin soil of that prosperous section
of Yo1o County.
During all of Mr.. Stoll's residence in
Hungry Hollow he never experienced
O more thrilling adventure that oc-
Cured to him last Tuesday. Arming
himself with his rife he went for q
hunt among the chapparal and under.
brush that abound in the neighboring
hills He had not proceeded far before
he started up drove of wild hogs.
At first he imagined he had aroused
den of bruins. The hogs made vicious
attack, and drove Mr.. Stoll to the
boughs of tree. Not until he had
killed three of the brutes did the rest
take to cover and permit him to descend.
He returned to his home, secured the
services of hired man and a wagon
and returned for his game. Arriving
at the scene of his adventure, he was
again set upon by wild hogs. Of course
he was sefe in the wagon, but the
horses were not only paralyzed with
fear, but liable to be crippled by the
vicious attacks of the hogs, 80 Mr..
Stoll concluded to beat hasty retreat
and leave his game to be devoured by
vultures and wild asts.-Woodland

Rrighest Part Of NV Trip.

The New York fashion correspondent OF Q
Southern paper gives out the following ::
A LADY, writes "I have read your letters
for long time, and have often envied you
the opportunity you enjoy Of seeing the beati'
tiful things YOU describe. + used to think,
when read Of those charming dresses and
parasols and hats at Lord 4 Taylor's, tnar
theirs must be one Of those stores where
.imid, nervous woman like myself, having but
a few dollars to spare for q seasons outfit,
would be of 80 little account that she would
receive little attention but when you said,
in one of your letters few months ago, that
goods of the same quality were really cheaper
there than elsewhere, because they sold more
goods in their two stores than any other hrm
IN New York, and that because they sold more
they bought more, and consequently bought
cheaper, T determined. II ever went to New
York, would 20 to Lord & Taylor's.
... " That -wa;ted-for time came in the
early autumn, and I found myself standing
before that great entrance, with those won
derful windows at either side. summoned
my courage and entered, as l suppose tens OF
thousands of Just such timid women as
have done before. My fears were gone m an
instant. The agreeable attention put me at
my ease at once, and felt as much at home
as though / were in the little country store
where my people have traded for nearlv a
quarter of century. -
And now, as l wear the pretty things ]
purchased, or see them every day and fnd
Them all 50 satisfactory, I think OF my visit
to this great store as the brightest part OF my
trip to New York"

by YOUR dressmsker into having an
empire gown. It is o style which suits
one woman out of ten, and the other
nine are simply foils to set off her
charms.
Don't-if your feet are short and
broad-squeeze them with agony into
the shortest shoes you can put on. If
you wear B get 81 A and see how
much s1enderer and better shaped your
feet will look.
Don't-if you are blond, brunette
or medium-be afraid of wearing yel-
low. There is surely one shade Of that
color which will suit you and bring out
all the pink in your skin; if you are
sallow it would make you look white.
Don't-cover your face with one of
the purple wells. Very few colored
wells are to be trusted as being becom-
ing, while black and white are always
in good style.
Don't-copy everything that you
see is the fashion. Suit your own
figure and face, and among all the
varied designs you will find something
that will give you an individuality OF
your own. Remember that the lovely
ladies in fashion plates are all Ven
uses, whic. few Of Us are.-Chicago

WORDS OF WISDOM.

The richest people are those who
have the fewest wants.
1t is because that we hate the grave
that we try to hide it with flowers.
The next best thing to owning some.
thing is to be willing to do without it.
A bad man digs pit for others, and
then shuts his eyes and falls into it
himself.
You cannot always tell by the shape
and fit of q mans coat how much he
is worth.
If you want your children to be
good, it would be well to show them
how to begin with.
It is said that hornet can easily
make mile O minute up hill, if you
get him mad enough.
One difference between wise man
and fool is that FOOLS mistakes
never teach him anything.
There may be pigs that never wal
lowed in the mire, but there has never
been one that didn't want to.
The man who howls and growls
every time his wife wants a little
money, very often buries her in rose
wood casket. Ram Horn.

THE ATHLETIC YOUNG WOMAN.

The modern young woman is as
proud of her athletic tastes and accom-
plishments as her grandmother used to
be of her extreme delicacy and weak
ness. The modern young woman does
not faint easily, she can row boat up
stream, WELD tennis racket with sus-
tanned grace for hours, climb noun
tains, catch the breakers or swim in the
surf, ride bicycle, perhaps, and in
the privacy of the women's class in the
gymnasium, she can run, leap, fence
and perform numerous feats in her
pretty and comfortable gymnastic-suit,
which an outsider, seeing her in snug
tailor-made dress or flowing evening
draperies, would not suppose could be
among the possibilities. And with this
addition of muscular force she has
gained intellectually and does not
shrink from the same college curricu-
lum which her brother attacks. The
girl of the closing years of the Nine
teenth Century, who has been able to
avail herself of the privileges open to
her, is a thoroughly well equipped
young lady, and the country has a
right to expect much of her whether
her chosen field of usefulness be do
mestic or professional.-New York
Ledger.

QUAINT HAIR DRESSING.

All sorts of quaint hair dressing is
coming in style and the more combs
YOU can decorate with the better off
you are. A few evenings ago fair
young bud was the recipient of brand
new Worth gown from her mamma in
Paris. She was to attend the theatre
that evening and she rushed up stairs
directly after dinner to costume her
self. Inside of an hour she was in the
drawing room displaying herself to her
grandmother, who said in answer to
inquiry as to her granddaughter ap-
pearance, "Why, my dear, you look
Just as I did forty years ago." Anti
quity, picturesqueness and simplicity
seem the keynotes of Dame Grundy's
tricks this summer season.-New York
Advertiser.

DRESSING ROOM DON'T.

Don't-unless your arms are white
and rounded wear only little puff on
the shoulders in your party dresses.
Have your sleeves made in one or two
big dropping puffs to reach almost to
the elbow where they Will meet the
long gloves of the same shade. You
will look quite as stylish and dressy.
Don't-if you have pale complex
ion-wear light gray or tan felt hat
because it will give you the effect of
being sallow. If you must have it a
light shade to match your dress, line
the inside with dark velvet, which will
make your skin look fair. Apropos of
hats, the rule holds good that an un-
trimmed brim is trying to all save the
most youthful faces, whereas plait-
ing or even fold of velvet would i'm
part look of softness.
Don't-if you are very thin or very
stout or if you even suspect yourself
OF tendency either wsy-be beguiled

Magnifying Power OF Telescopes.

The following careful statement by
Professor E. S. Holden on the power
of the eye and the telescope, as they
are contrasted in actual experience, is
of special and permanent interest: If
the brightness of star seen with the
eye alone is one, with two-inch tel.
escope it is 100 times as bright; with
four-inch telescope it is 400 times as
bright; eight-inch telescope it is 1900
times as bright sixteen-inch telescope
it is 64O0 times as bright; thirty-two.
inch telescope it is 25, times az
bright; thirty-six-inch telescope it is
80, 400 times as bright. That is, stars
can be seen with the thirty-six-inch
telescope which are 80, 900 times fainter
than tina faintest stars visible to the
naked eye. While the magnifying
power which can be successfully used
on the fve-inch telescope is not above
400, the thirty-six inch telescope will
permit magnifying power of more
than 1000 diameters on suitable OBJ
jects, stars, for example. This power
cannot be used on the moon and plan
cts with real advantage for many rea-
sons, but probably power of 1000 or
1900 will be the maximum The moon
will thus appear under the same con-
ditions as if it were to be viewed by
the naked eye at distance of, say, 200
miles. This is the same as saying that
objects about 800 feet square can be
recognized, so that no village or great
canal or even large edifce can be built
on the moon without our knowledge.
Highly organized life on the moon will
make itself known in this direct way if
it exists. If one were looking at the
earth under the same conditions, the
great works of hydraulic mining, or
The great operations of farms in the
Dakotas or in California ranches would

PROPER FOOD FOR BUSINESS WOMEN.


A woman physician, eminent in her
profession, who has made this subject
q study, declares that at least half of
the breaking-down and nervousness of
women with occupations is due to i'm
proper food, or, to state it more
clearly, to the lack of sufficient
amount of nutritious food.
Many of these women either board
themselves or live in third or fourth
rate boarding houses, where food that
is really appetizing rarely comes to the
table. They take some weak coffee,
bakers bread, whatever of the hastily
prepared breakfast they think they can
manage, which, as rule, is little
enough, goodness knows, then rush off
to their work. At noon they either
club together and make cup of tea,
with more bread and butter, or else
they eat cakes, tarts, cookies, crackers
and the like, and then are at work
again. At night it is no better. There
is really nothing at the boarding house
that tempts them, and if they prepare
their own food they are too tired and
spiritless to fix anything nourishing
and simply aggravate worn-out nature
by more tea and bakers bread.
1t would be a good idea if some
benevolent person would take the
matter in hand and furnish business
women with suitable meals ut reason
able prices. st. Louis Star Sayings.

A Large Fruit Farm.

One of the largest fruit farms this
side of the Rocky Mountains, accord
ing to a recent bulletin of the West
Virginia Experimental Station, IS to
be found on the foothills of the Blue
Ridge in Jefferson County, Of that
State. In 1887 Becker Brothers set
out $4,000 peach trees, since which
time eight adjoining tracts have been
added, until the fruit farm comprises
24OO acres in one body. The planters
have not stopped with peaches alone,
but they have large area in grapes,
ounces and cherries, besides American
and Japanese plpms, apricots, Japan
persimmons, nectarine, English wal,
nuts, italian chestnuts and paper shell
almonds. Chicago Herald.

What the Photograph VIII Do for Music.

Conceding it's power of musical re-
production by means Of wax cylinders,
which are both cheap and lasting, the
imagination may run riot without ex-
hausting the field opened before one.
Besides giving musical pleasure past
computation to the million, it will do
wonders for the musician. First, it
will offer the composer means of in
dicating his wishes concerning time
and expression compared with which
the mentronome and all printed direc-
tions and expression marks of the pres
ent are but the clumsiest of make
shifts. Secondly, it will become a
