sumers. Much Of this renewal is
wholly unnecessary on condition that
proper attention is given to the abused
burner. In the first place the fine
holes through which the air is admitted
to the blaze should be kept free from
dust, oil or any foreign substance which
will prevent the proper passage of the
air supply. The carbon incrustations
are also to be removed, and the little
wheels which lower and raise the wick
must be in good working order. When
the burner shows signs of cumming or
failure to properly perform its func-
lions, the following course OF treatment
is recommended by an authority of ex-
perience as sure to clean away the en-
crusting matter, and give result as
good as new burner, at cost much
less: Into an old tomato can or any
worthless vessel of like nature which
will hold water, put a piece OF sal-soda
the size of walnut and pour on
quart or so of cold water. Into this
drop the impaired burners and bring
the water to boil on top of the stove.
After they have boiled i've minutes
they are done; they have only TO be
taken out, wiped and dried, when they
are again ready for service. In case
new burners are necessary care should
be taken to have them fit the collar per-
fectly, otherwise there will be danger
of the leaking of oil and perhaps other
unpleasant esults.-EGchange

Child-Teaching.

In giving instruction to children it is
frequently hard to explain an idea to
them in words which will convey the
precise meaning to their minds. 1t is
easiest to teach truth to child by an
illustration, and, to be of any value, the
illustration must be taken from their
own experience. The new idea must
come out of the old. BY this method
children can be taught new and proper
words to express their ideas, and this
will, in time, improve their language
long before they have a notion what
"erammar and "rhetoiic " mean.

for skating that you consider lessons Of
no consequence beside it. You even

Care of Lamp Burners.

The burner is perhaps the most i'm
portant portion of lamp, and it is GER
tainly most frequently the scapegoat for
shortcomings of any sort in connection
with the lighting apparatus. If the
servant Cor the mistress) desires to
apologize for any imperfect light, she
simply says, it is the burner; that is
wretchedly poor and needs to be re-
placed. AS soon as this is done, and
for time, there is an Improvement.
But in little while there is the same
trouble again and so the process of re-
newal goes on-very profitable to the
manufacturers, but not 80 to the con-

A Safe Prescription.

My pallid friend, is your pulse beating low?
Does the red wine of life too sluggishly flow?
Set 1t spinning through every tinglng vein
BY outdoor work, till you feel once again
Like giving CHEEKY, schooboy shout;
Get out
Are you morbid, and, like the owl in the tree,
Do you gloomily boot at what you can't see?
Perhaps now. instead of being so wise,
You are only looking through jaundlced eyes;
Perhaps you are bilious, or getting too stout;
Get out
Out In the air where fresh breezes blow
Away all the cobwebs that sometimes grow
In the brains of those who turn from the light
To all gloomy thoughts instead of the bright
Contend with such foes, and put them to ronte;
Get out! Medical and Surgical Reporte,

TAKE WARNING!
NEGLECT NOT THESE SIGNALS OF
DANGER.
A Useful Lesson.on Health Taught by
the Indians Example.
Let the Remedy be Simple and Safe
Kickapoo Indian Sagwa.

III you are ailing not exactly sick, but not
feeling "just right" have a drowsy, dull
feeling, bad taste in the mouth, variable APP
petite, occasional pains in the joints and
ness, why not do as the Indian does-drive
such symptoms out of the system by the ju-
dicious use of their reliable vegetable rem
edy, Kickapoo Indian Sagwa?
Don't neglect such warnings.
That pain in your shoulder may develop
into rheumatism, and a months sickness
deprive you of the income Of your toll
That white, furry tongue denotes your
liver is out of order, and disease would
easily take root in your system.
What could you do then?
Think of your business, your income, and
your family.
Seek safety as you would fly from cholera
or smallpox.
You are in danger If you neglect these
warnings. They may pass off, but the
chances are against you, and even then the
poison is only latent in your system
Do not, however, put your trust in the
numerous mineral medicines with which the
market is flooded. The action OF many of
these decoctions comes from mineral poisons
they contain, such as mercury, arsenic,
strychnine, bismuth, iodide of potassium,
and the like, and any druggist will tell you,
If he tells you truly, that this is so.
Kickapoo Indian Sagwa and other Kick
apoo Indian medicines contain only the
product OF the field and forest, natures own
vegetable growth of roots, barks and herbs
and of necessity are free from all mineral
poisons whatever, because the Indians have
no knowledge of them, depending wholly
upon natures laboratory for their resources,
and upon their skill, born of centuries of
experience, in preparing them
Kickapoo Indian Sagwa, made By the
Indians from roots, bdrks and herbs of their
oaon gathering and curing, is obtaiadble Of
druggists and medicine dealers only. One

Montana State Headquarters.

Through the enterprise of certain en-
energetic business men of Montana, the
Montana State Headquarters and Ex-
change Club has been organized for the
convenience and accommodation of Wis
itors to the Worlds Fair. A large
building on Michigan avenue has been
secured as n location of the club, it be-
ing directly on the road to Jackson
Park, where it will have to be passed by
all professions, military and civic, and
where it is easily accessible either from
the Columbian Fair Ground or from the
business centre.
The house is commodious and well
adapted for all the wants Of the Occa-
sion. Certificates a be purchased in
Montana which entitle the holder to all
the privileges of the house free of charge.
A place is given where visitants from
this state may register their city address
es and so any person through this med
ium may readily he found. Here will
| be a bureau of information upon sub
jccts connected with the growth and adj
vantages of Montana. Agents for Mon
tana property will be here and deals fol
this property will be consummatcd in
this building.
Richard Brennan, the rustling real
estate and mining broker of Neihart has
an agency in this club and is able IL
furnish all visitors to the fair with Ger
tifcates. He also proposes to provide
a display of our minerals, at his own ex
pense, and requests all having speci
mems which they desire to have repre-
sented, to deliver the same to him. Ht

this district and endeavor to work deal

Notes by the Way.

My dear girls, all men are very much

Make them like to do as you wish.
The petrified man, recently discover
ed in Dakota, may be said to have great
weight, but no influence. If some of
the men who only live to influence, for
evil, the boys and young men of our
community, were petrified, what a bless
ing it would be to many mothers.
You have all wondered, as I have.
why so many superior women marry in
ferior men. 1t is, | have discovered, be-
cause women must lavish their over
flowing affections on some thing, and if
they have not the distant ideal, they
idealizc the near one. And happy is
the woman who never discovers her mis-
take.

and shared by others. 1t takes such n
little time to write a letter.
The leaves upon the trees. although
innumerable beyond counting, are ar
ranged so that each attends to his own
little leaf life and never interfercs with
another. What n lesson is here for the
children of men. We have each our
own appointed mission and each our
own place to FIJI and yet, we jostle and
push and strive to make more room for
ourselves to the detriment of our neigh
bors.
There is surely some good affinity be
tween the art of healing and music.
have known but few physicians or STIR
geons who, if they were not musicians,
were passionately fond of music. Does
the great art of dong good, healing the
sick, make such music in the heart that
it must find expression in the "concord
of sweet sounds" or is it the musical
nature that influences the choice of Il
profession!
How strange it is we can make our
selves believe many things which if 9th
cr persons would do or say, we would
discover the sophistry Mt once. | once
heard Il really good woman say, "IIow

As the winters snow disappears the
collation. of waste material that lays in
our streets is worthy of some notice
insomuch that there is plenty of money
scattered through its strata if one were
only able to find it. When a certain
business man said the other day that he
didn't know where in the world his
profits had gone this winter, the same
answer would doubtless be, "Swepi
out" We are watching his doorstep as
fast as each succeeding sun reveals new
discoveries and if we find any money We
will give it to him in the shape of prof
