catarrh, Not Local. bat Constitution

NV s-oeoSe SSt
DR.. Dio Lewis, the eminent Boston
physician, in II magazine article says; a
radical error underlies nearly all medical
treatment of oatarrh. 1t is not disease
of the mans nose; it is disease of the
man, showing itself in the nose-a Local
exhibition of CONSTITUTIONAL trouble.
Therefore, he argues, the use of snuff and
other local applications is wrong, and
while they seem to give temporary relief
they really do more harm than good
Other leading authorities agree with DR.
Lewis. Hence, the only proper methot
of cure for catarrh is by taking cons,i
tutional remedy like Hoods Sarsaparilla
which, reaching every part of the body
through the blood, does eliminate all I'M
purities and makes the whole man health
Ter. 1t removes the cause of the trouble
and restores the diseased membrane t,
proper condition. That this is the prac
tical result is proven by thousands of peo
pile who have been cured of catarrh by
taking Hoods Sarsaparilla.

GOOD THINGS TO KNOW.

That, If glace kid gloves are slightly
warmed before being put on i'll cold
weather, they Will be found much more
elastic, as the heat tends to soften the
oil in the leather.
That it is better to pay good cleaner
a few cents for freShening gloves than
to do it ones self and endure the odor
that clings around the homecleansed
glove.
That gloves should always be mended
before they are clcansed. as the repairs
will show less than if they are made
after the cleansing.
That it is bad plan to remove gloves
by pulling at the ends of the fingers, as
If will necessarily stretch them. partic-
ularly when they are moist, as they
often ar when coming off a warm
hand.
That gloves should be dried thor
oughly after they are taken Off, and laid

freshness as long as possible.

Nothing New in Bonncts.

AS yet there have been no changes in
the prevailing fashions for millinery.
The little airy nothings called theater
bonnets still continue in favor, and are
made as rule to match in tone the cos
tunes with which they are worn. How
ever. it is not considered at all an outre
to wear bonnets OF the brightest pes
sible colorS with dresses of plain dark
shades. Bright-hued bonnets give the
effect in an assembiage of flower gar
den, and are much more attractive than
the dull. somber shades so long in vogue.

One of the most deserving charities
in the city is that carried on by the
women's auxiliary board OF the Bethel
association, and called the mother $
meetings. These meetings are held at
the Bethel boat every Friday afternoon
at 2:3O o'clock. There are about Sixty
women, mothers of families, who gather
there TO get the only glimpse their nara
lives allow them of social Intercourse
with their fellow women. These meet
ings have been going on for over year,
and the changes in the appearance OIL
these mothers those few months nave

the care of the sick by woman plySl-
clan, who illustrated her talk by means
OF doll and little bed. Every point
about the bed was explained, then the
doll was washed just as the doctor would
have washed a patleut. The manner OF
giving food or nouriShmtnt to very
sick patient was illustrated. An OppoI-
tunity for questions was given at the
close of the talk, or if any one chose

A.,>r the lecture, sewing was brought
out, and each Of the sixty women there
provided with work to do. Each one
has a garment to make. and when II Is
finished, can have it if she pays five
cents. Those who do not know how to
sew are taught, and encouraged Ill every
way. Then comes substantial lunch
with good. hot tea and conversation, OF
course. 1t is a beautiful sight to see
these mothers poor and umlearned. but
tidy and polite, crowd around these Kind
sister women who have a word of adj
vice OF kindly question for every one.
Another hymn and the repetition Of the
Lords prayer closes the meeting. VINO
can tell to what length OF good the III
fuence of these meetings may 90.
These garments and the material for
them are all contributed, so If any
woman or man feels like adding mite
TO this good work. small contributions
will be thankfully received by Mrs

If 1T COULD BE.

If could hold your hands ton light
just for a lutte while, and know
That only |, of all the world,
Possessed them so.
A slender shape in that old chair,
If could see you here tonight,
Between me and the twilight pale
SO light and frail.
Your cold white dress its folding lost
In one broad sweep of shadow gray;
Your weary head just dropped aside,
The sweet old way.
Bowed like a f1ower,cup dashed with rain,
The darkness crossing half your face,
And just the glimmer of smile
For one to trace.
II could see your eyes that reach
Far out into the furthest sky,
Where past the trait OF dying suns.
The old years lie,
Or souch your silent lips tonight.
And steal the sadness from their smile,
And find the last kiss they have kept
This weary while.
If it could be-oh, all in vain
The restless trouble of my soul
Sets, as the great tide TO the moon,
Toward your control!
In vain the longing of the lips.
The eyes desire and the pain;
The hunger of the heart. y love,
Is it in vain?

A Salad of Orange.

Fruit is so rapidly becoming an essen
tial, and it Is so plentiful in every sea-
son, that new ways of preparing and
serving 1t are always welcome.
Orange salad is delicious served just
before a game course at dinner, as it
some way prepares one for a new dish
after what has been previously served.
For half dozen persons, you will use
four large or six small oranges. those
with rather acid flavor being pre-
ferred; pare them up and down instead
