When the lungs are affected it causes
shooting pains, like needles passing
through them: the same with the Liver or
Bowels. This is caused by the ducts being
stopped, and always disappears In week
after taking it.
If the stomach is foul or bilious It will
cause Squeamish feelings at first,
No change of diet ever necessary. Eat
the best you can get, and enough of it.

The capitol commission is experience
ing considerable trouble in selecting 4
site for the new capitol authorized by
the last legislature, and people are be-
ginning to think that nothing will be
done in the matter until the next legis-
lature. The commission is limited To
tho expenditure of 81, ,OO0, 600 for site
and building complete. The bids for
the site opened at the June meeting
were SO high that the commission re-
fused to consider them on the ground
that they would involve the necessity
of asking an additional appropriation,
which would be actively opposed by the
country members. It is intimated that
unless the price fixed for the sites Of
fered is cut in two no move towards
building will be made before the next

Few kinds of food contain a larger pro-

Miss Canning. in her book, 1.-Two Hap
py Years in Ceylon," thus describes CHINA
mon cultivation and traffic as she saw it in
operation
The cultivation is something like that
of willow copse, straight young shoots
springing up around the stump of the plant
previously cut These shoots in their tuln
are cut every second year-that is to say,
when they are about five feet high and two
inches in circumference. A good many OF
these are sold as walking sticks, and find
ready market on board steamers among
the passengers, who think there must be
a special charm in a cinnamon stick,
though in truth it is hard to distinguish it
from our common hazel.
But of course the real thing to be Sc
cured is the highly aromatic inner bark.
First of all, the leaves are stripped off,
and then the bark is split from end to end
with sharp knife which has curved
point With this, aided by the fingers,
the bark is carefully removed in long
pieces. These are heaped up and left to
sodden, so as to facilitate the next pro-
cess-that of scraping off the outer rind.
In order to do this each piece of the
bark is placed on a round piece of wood
and carefully scraped with the knife, the
almost nude brown workers sitting on
the ground and using their toes as an ex-
ira hand to steady the end of the stick.
The bark is then left to dry in the sun,
when it rolls itself up into tight quilts.
These are neatly sorted and packed,
three or four inside of one another, and
are made up into bales covered with
cloth, and ale then ready for export.

Some Hints About Driving
hlem Mabyfl,s lonNs Hteb1t.

from II1bf9 ) loHHS f'PAf.
Whether YOU drive single horse or a
team the principles are the same, but in
driving pair zee to il that each horse does
his share OF the work, and no more. a
pair OF horses, moreover unless well driven,
are sure to get in the habit OF wandering
over the road
To drive wen YOU must keep your eye
and mind on the horse. Watch his ears.
They will be pricked forward when he is
about to shy, droop when he is tired, fly
back Just before he brakes onto a gal
lop), and before he kicks. Before kick
ing, too. horse usually tucks in his tail,
and lunches his back a little When you
observe any of these indications, speak to
him sharply, and pull up his head.
You must watch the road also. Turn
out for stones, SO that the horse shall not
stumble nor the wheels jolt over them ;
avoid the mud holes, and places where
gong is bad let the horse slacken speed
when the road becomes heavy and if you
want to make up time, do it where the
ground slightly descends.
1t is a common mistake to think that 4
horse can haul a carriage easily on the
level. On such a road he has to be pull
ling every moment; there is no rest.
Whereas, when the road now rises, and
now falls. the weight is taken off him at
times, and he has a chance TO recover his
wind and to rest his muscles. As between
level road in a valley and an up-and down
road over the hills, the latter is by far the
easier for a horse to travel When you
come to a long level stretch let your horse
walk bit in the middle oft,
Almost everybody knows that for the
first few miles, after coming out of the
stable, horse should be driven slowly,
and especially if he has just been fed.
On journey tits ofthe utmost importance
to observe this rule BE careful, however,
not to check young nag too quickly
when he comes fresh out of the stable
give him his head, talk to him soothingly,
and presently he will come down to a
moderate pace. If you pull him up at
once. you vex him extremely, so much so
that he is not unlikely to kick.

A French authority on cooking gives
these rules for testing the heat of an
oven; Try it with piece of white paper
If too hot the paper will blacken or blaze
up; if it becomessa light brown, it is fit
for bread and the heavier kinds of cake ;
if light yellow, the oven is ready for
sponge cake and the lighter kinds Of des-

1t is very probable that some

y
comma-shaped microbes may be formed
in United States this year. The
comma shaped fellows mean cholera.
the surest preventive of cholera is clean
illness. House cleaning this year should be
most thoroughly done, and we suggest
to the good housewife that a coat of
Chiffon paint for inside work will not
only beautify the home, but will kill any
stray comma-shaped microbe that by
any misfortune may find its way into the
house. We suppose that almost any kind
of paint would kill cholera microbes and
perhaps if that were the only objects in
painting, some of the cheap paints that
contain benzine In such liberal quantities
would be as good, but we think that
while you are using paint as a preventive
of cholera, it is well to use the Chiffon,
not because it will kill more microbes
than any other paint, but because it will
last longer, keep brighter, and look bet
ter than any paint you can use. Get II
pound can and see for yourself.
