ease may avail themselves of his great system
of treating and curing disease all over the
land through letter correspondence. People

specialist in curing all nervous and chronic
diseases; he is the discoverer of DR.. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy. He gives
most careful and explicit attention to all let
tars received by him and writes the patient a
full description of the case. The Doctor Us es
nothing but harmless vegetable remedies and
has had wonderful success in curing disease
through letter correspondence. Send for one
of his symptom blanks and he will write you

TO PAPER a ROOM.

Papering a room is pretty hard
work for women, but if they want to
do it, this is the way: If there is al
ready paper on the walls it must be
taken off for health and cleanliness
sake. Dampen it thoroughly with
long handled brush dipped in warm
water, then scrape off with hoe, if
nothing better is at hand. Wash the
wall, then 'ssize' it with little glue
mixed in a good deal of water, the
glue must not be strong, or it will
scale. The object is to make thin
coating on the wall that will prevent
the paste from leaving the paper and
soaking into the wall. If the room
has been whitewashed remove all
"f1aky" pieces, scrape smooth as pos
sible. wet it with solution Of equal
parts of vinegar and water; then size
it. Make a smooth paste Of about one
pound of flour, adding a quarter of a
pound of alum. Trim the edges Off
the paper, lay it face downward on
table, and apply the paste quickly
WIFI a WulUGWdSL VI oR VIZ
lower end so it will not stick to the
wall while you are arranging the top.
Then take the upper end by the cor
ners and place it carefully in position,
letting only the top edge adhere until
you are sure the piece hangs true and
matches the figures in the piece along
side. Then smooth it downward and
right and left from the center with
soft brush or cotton cloth. If an "air
blister" is found, prick it with pin
and smooth down. If the wall is I'M
even, to avoid wrinkles cut slit in
the paper, and lay the edges over one
another. If any paste is smeared on
doors or washboards, wipe it off be-
fore it dries on or you will be sorry.

Queen Victoria seems almost imper-
vious to draughts and cold, and no
doubt this makes her somewhat in
considerate to those around her. Her
sons and daughters frequently COM
plain of the GOODNESS of their mothers
home. She is quite unlike most old
ladies Of her age in many of her
tastes; and while they enjoy the cosy
arm-chairs before the fire, the queen
is taking her daily drive. It has to be
very bad weather to stop this regular
outing;k for, though rain and snow
may close the carriage, her majesty is
always very loath to give up her
drives And they are drives! The
pace at which she likes to go is an
other instance in which the queen diff
fers from most Of her sex and age.
They are, as rule, content with, and
even anxious for, very slow and
dignifed manner of progression. But
not so for her majesty. Twelve miles
an hour is the pace at which she in
sists on being driven when she is in
the country, and, as she knows the
distances of all the drives in the neigh
borhood of her different homes, she
at once detects if her commands are
not carried out. Directly as horse is
unable to keep up this pace he is no
longer eligible for her majesty's use.

A lady friend once said to me, eff
I had my life to live over again L
would study harder, SO that now
could teach my children more. John
is already away ahead of me in books,
and he knows it. However, it is on
use lamenting; am too old to learn"
I looked at her in amazement. She
wasn't over forty, and was busy max :
ing an elaborate affair of silk drawn
work. She wasn't at all an ignorant
woman. How could she be too old to
learn? We have only to read the lives
of the most noted men and women to
learn that many of them were long
past middle age before they were ii
nancially able to even fit themselves
for the work they had long wished to
do. I know a farmers wife who,
twelve years ago, had not even good
common school education, and last
week [ heard her deliver grand ad-
dress. She bas become a hard stu
dent,a close reader of standard works,
and I already hear her spoken of as Il
finely educated lady. Go thou and do
likewise.

THE MUGMUMPs and anti-snappers in
New York have been pretty well brok-
en- up and dissipated, and Harper's
Feekly, one of their organs, says their
fate is due to the fact that President
Cleveland "refused TO recognize their
organization in his distribution of the
federal patronage" So even the saint
ly organization referred to, like all
others of a political character, was held
together by the cohesive attraction Of
loaves and fishes. And yet Minister
Bayard, when Secretary of State, said
that political Office could not be bestow-
ed for political work!
