There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great
many years doctors pronounced it To-
cal disease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure with To-
cal treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be con-
stitutional disease, and therefore requires
institutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. j. Cheney 4 Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. 1t is taken inter
nally in doses from 10 drops to a tea
spoonful. 1t acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and testi-
monials. Address,

Easter Dainties.

We have been anxiously watching for
something of the above named dainties,
and have been awarded at last. An ex-
change offers some valued hinls in the
following, which may be helpful.
An Easter counterpart is quite new
idea that has originated in the pretty
head OF "sweet girl graduate. She
s mt out to her girl friends sufficient
number of linen squares, 9x9, to make
a counterpart, asking them to write
their names in indelible ink, with any
appropriate quotation that might oc-
cur to them. Then she feather-stitched
these together with yellow silk, and
edged it with heavy antique lace, and
now she has something that she de-
clares she is going to hand down to pos
terity.
Another ambitious woman is getting
her friends to work squares of linen
with Easter emblems in white, yellow
and olive silk, which she is going to set
together with lace insertion for bed
spread, and line with yellow silk. a
more altruistic woman of my acquain-
lance is working set of Easter doilies
for a friend. Easter lilies and small
floral designs are used. A young girl
is making bright little smoking pillow
for her lover, all ofyellow cigar ribbons,
feather-stitched upon Gobelin cloth of a
dark olive color. Tassels of the ribbons
ornament the corners.
Dress sachets in sets of three are
something new. For the bodice in front,
cut two heart or oblong shaped pieces,
and for the back, a pyram id-shaped piece
the point to be attached to the belt,
and the widening ends to the armholes.
Use soft China silk over two layers Of
wad0ing, well sprinkled with sachet
powder. S. melimes a gift includes sew
eral sets, each of a different shade of
silk.

HELPFUL CORNER.
WHERE ARE THE WICKED FOLKS BIZ
RED

"Tell me, gray -headed SEXTON" said,
''Where in this field are the wicked folks laid!
1 have wandered the quiet old graveyard
through,
And studied the epitaphs, old and new;
But on monument obelisk pillar or stone,
/ read of no evil that men hav done
The old sexton stood by grave newly made
With his chm on his hand and hand on his spade;
I knew by the CLEAN Of his eloquent eye
That his heart was instructing his lips to reply.
"Who is the Judge when the soul takes its
flight
Who is to Judge 'twix the wrong and right?
Which OF us m ortals shall dare to say
That our neighbor was wicked who died to-day!
''In the journey through life the further we
speed,
The better we learn that humanitys need
Is charity's spirit that prompts us to find
Rather virtue than vice in the lives of man
kind:
$50 commendable deeds we record on these
stones;
The evil men do-let it die with their bones,
| have lahored as sexton this many year,
But never have buried a bad man here"

Home Furnishings.


Journal has been considering the same
topic and says: The walls of the small
parlor must be carefully considered and
likewise the curtains. The effect, too,
of the green foliage that surrounds a
country orvillage house should be taken
into consideration in furnishing it, and
especially in the lower part. For this
reason blue should generally be avoided,
except in very pale tone relieved with
red. This shade of blue is particularly
desirable for the walls of small rooms
as it is a cold receding color and imparts
look of space. A paper without pat
tern OF any, like the ingram or granite
papers, should be used.
For parlor carpet, where the house
is to be furnished on an economical scale,
nothing is more satisfactory than one OF
Brussels Rawlings in shades of red all
the way to cream color. Made as rug,
with an inconspicuous border in the
same tints, it is really handsome floor
covering and one that sets off the FUR
niture instead of eclipsing it. About
foot Of stained floor should snow be-
tween the boarding and the woodwork
There are also art ingrains which come
with borders in all the desirable colors,
and one of these in dull red would have
an excellent effect. For summer use
curtains of cheese cloth in the natural
color, edged with some pretty and mex
pensive lace, would be suitable, the
wooden poles with brass trimmings to
be of the same color as the woodwork
in winter, chenille curtains in old red,
with the material fringed out at top and
bottom, and about three-quarters of a
yard turned over at the top by way of
lambrequin. Instead of the regulation
sofa, which is always an expensive piece
of furniture, a straight, medium-sized
lounge without ends can be used, cover
ing and gracefully looping it at the corn
ers with Bagdad portiere showing pler4-
ty of red and blue in its stripes.
Small tables and pretty corner cab
met for choice bits of china, low book
case, homemade or otherwise, few
well-chosen pictures, and little else is
required for the furnishing Of our
country parlor. Cheap looking and un-
meaning little articles of bric-a-brac
should be avoided but especially should
they never find their way to the mantel,
Better always look of baroness than of
bad taste. Avoid clock. which has 10
excuse for being in parlor as remind
ing visitors of the flight of time, and
place en- each end Of the mantel china
candlesticks or candelabra, which can
often be found both Gu zap and pretty.
Should one be fortunate enough to own
antique plated ones so much the better.
The choicest picture should be placed
over the mantel; and some vases Of
graceful shape and good cololing will
complete all necess airy decoration, be-
yond the central glory of an open fire in
spring and autumn.
Brass andirons and fender will add
their peculiar glow and brightness,
while in summer the dark aperture can
be beautified with great jars of bloom
ing shrubs.

DURING a conversation with an ener-
getic little mother quite recently, upon
the subject OF teaching children to sew,
she remarked that it was such a "job'
that she had almost decided to give it
up. For her sake we offer the following
which is suggested by an Exchange. In
teaching children their letters we sup
ply them with bright colored primers
and blocks in order that they will be-
come interested and learn easily. The
question arises why not do the same in
the lesson of sewing? Never put a child
to learn to sew on new goods. Old can
ton flannel is a capi-al thing to use.
Tear off pieces three and one-half inches
square, for if their work is bulky their
little hands soon become cramped and
tired. On some of these old squares,
trace a pear an apple, peach; on
Lthers draw vegetables, such as turnip,
potato, tomato, carrot, etc. They
are all simple in outline and easily
drawn. Procure number Of skeins of
etching thread and suitable needle.
Begin by showing your little girl the
stitch of the simplest pattern, say the
apple or pear. Work it brown and red
and she will be delighted to see the fruit
growing under her busy little fingers. A
promise to let her work the strawberry
next if she is careful, will stimulate her
to do he- very best. The stem of this
fruit can be worked in green, the outline
in red, and the seeds, which consist in
single stitches, must he done in yellow,
The needle glides into the old goods
without sticking her and she is interest
ed. When the child has completed a
number, or all, of these squares. and l
would not allow her to do more than
one a day, buy her stamped doiley or
tray cloth and let her work it for Grand
mas Christmas present, or for some
other beloved friend. How pleased and
encouraged the little one will be to pre-
sent it When she has obtained ease
in threading and handling her needle
she will no longer dread running the
seams and turning hens. We are sure,
if the wise little mother will exercise the
foregoing methods she will meet with
better success than before, at least We
hope she will try it.

II seems to me quite irrelevant to speak
Of woman's lack OF highest poetic creative
power rs proof Of her inferiority to man.
She is different from him, but not neces-
snrily his inferior. Indeed the art of poetry
ls possessed only by exceptional men, some
of whom have not been particularly noble
or In any way personally commanding be-
yond the magic circle of song. We have
been made to sec within the last few years
that women have intellects quite as power
full as men have when it comes to directing
large affairs, overcoming great difficulties
or mastering abstract scientific studies.
There are now living women railroad
presidents. mine operators. stock raisers
and manufacturers, bankers, steamboat
captains and merchants as successful as
|men in the same Offices. Indeed the time Is
gone by for any doubt as to woman's abil-
|ity to succeed in all the practical affairs Of
life just as easily and just rs fully as men.
But they arc not men, any more than men
are women, and they never can be. This is
equivalent to saying that they are not poets
LOT the largest sort and never can be. A
golden exception like Sappho merely fixes
the general rule, There may have been at
some time o chance female mocking bird
which sang the dropping song. If ever one
did this, she performed masculine act
10 function OF the male nature.-Maurice
Thompson in New York Independent.

The student Of human nature will find a
good deal Of food for moralizing by the
study Of a pawnbroker's window and the
forfeited pledges displayed there. One ex-
hibit I noticed in such place the other day
set me thinking of the straits that one man
must have been reduced to apart with what
must have been won by signal bravery and
perhaps wonderful display Of valor in the
face Of death. The exhibit consisted of
three medals-one a Lucknow medal, an
other the Sebastopol medal and the third a
Balaklava medal-and they had once be-
longed to soldier of the Ninety-ninth
British Light infantry. Here was man
who perhaps was with Sir Henry Havelock
at the relief Of Lucknow, who may have
rode with Lord Cardigan and the famous
800 in the charge at Balaklava, and who
doubtless participated in the storming OF
Sebastopol, and who had been reduced to
the necessity Of raising the wind on the
medals that testified to what he had done
for his country.-Brooklyn Eagle.
