Golden Medical
DISCOVERY
Cures Minety-eight per cent of all
cases of Consumption, In all Its
Earlier Stages.

Although by many believed to be incura:
Bile, there is the evidence Of hundreds OF Z
living witnesses to the fact that, in all its
earlier stages, consumption IS a durable
disease. Not every case, but large per.
certage of cases, and we believe, fNiIy 81
Der cent. are cured by DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed SO far as to induce repeated
blcedings from. the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copiouS expectoration (1nciud-S
ing tubercular matter), great loss OF tesh
and extreme emaciation and weakness.
DO YOU doubt that hundreds Of such cases
reported to us as cured by " Golden Med
ical Discover" were genuine cases OF that
dread and fatal disease? You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
| instance, been so pronounced by the oests
| and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever III mis-
] representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of Golden Medical Discovery"
but who have been forced to confess that
If surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal malad y, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod,
liver oil and its filthy enulsions" and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-
fit, or had only seemed to benefit a little for
! short time. Extract of malt, whlskey,
and various preparations of the hypophos-
phites had also been faithfully tried in vain

Shower Baths for Horses.

They do queer but very sensible
thing to the car horses in New York
in hot weather. The horses are kept
ontside, not in the heated stables, and
are put in row face to the sidewalk.
One of the stable men has hose
which he turns on the horses every
little while. The stream of water is
first sent on their backs then on the
head and as it comes down the row,
the horses that have not been wet lcok
up to see when their turn is coming.
They appear to like it, and no won
der. Probably many boy or gir.
walking along IN the heat would like
it too. New York Advertiser.

yyhat Chas. II. HackIey Has Done for

Western Michigan.
ifFrom Grand Rapids, Mich, Ecenin9 Press.)
The most beautiful spot in all this city Is
inseparably associated with the name or
Hackley. Chas. H. Hackley has been In the
lnn,ker business he-e continuously since
1856. and in that time has amassed a fortune
which gives him q rating among the wealthy
men OF the nation. But with wealth there
did not como that tightening OF the purse
strings which is generally marked charac-
teristic OF wealthy men.
It Is no wonder then that the name OF
Charles Il. Hackley. is known at home and
abroad. His munifeence to Muskegon
alone represents an outlay Of nearly half
million. For the past twenty years he has
been 9 constant sufferer from neuraiH1s ana
rheumatism, also num6ness OF tne ioWee
limbs so much so that it has seriously inter-

Health and Housekeeping.

: cit is o cowardly thing to say, and
can't allow my name to be printed,
but it is fact that the faulty house
keeping in modern life is responsible
for needless and fatal diseases among
children. There are the stuffy, stylish
(?) cozy corners that are written up
and illustrated until one is sick and
tired of them; there Ore the dust-la-
den sofa cushions and the dirty parlor
rugs over carpets-ado double nuisance
that q good beating would destroy com
pletely; there are the unkept, uphol-
stored chairs and couches and the new
er clean, always-to-be-feare hanginga
and draperies on table and mantel-
shelves and in windows and door
frames. What we need is more clean
air, more spare room and 60 per cent
less furniture and offenses against art.
We need the bare floors of cosmopoll
tan Europe, the bare rooms and walls
of the distinguished Japanese and the
scrupulous neatness and elegant sim.
plicity of the aristocratic Chinese.

Wisdom From a Lunatic.

There is a place near Glasgow,
Scotland, where railway track runs
for some distance beside the fence of q
lunatic asylum. Not long ago some
workmen were busy repairing the bed
of the railroad when an inmate of the
asylum approached one of the laborers,
and, from his position on the inner
side of the enclosure, began some
what personal conversation:
Inmate Bard work, that!
Laborer-Troth an it is.
Inmate-What pay dae ye get?
Laborer-Sixteen bob week.

COURAGEOUS WOMEN.

A surgeon on On Atlantic steamship

he has found women on the whole

according to the report of the passen-

was wrecked some years ago, the
women behaved with remarkable calm

Girls cloaks are made of light-col-

Elbow length capes of black velvet
have a jet collar and yoke and long
"stole" ends in front covered with
jet.
A sealskin cape made in full ruffle

is new and stylish, and expensive as

Capes are growing longer, and, as
the colder days come on, they will in
crease in length and be of heavier ma

Gloves of black undresscd kids are

Portable to wear, and should be avoided
by ladies whose hands have the slight

the greatest novelties is black di-

spots in various sizes, the pink looking
particularly effective. This material
is being greatly used for winter

coox1se AS AN ACCOMPLISHMENT.

COOKING AS AN ACCOMPLISHMENT.
The latest excitement in Paris smart
society is the pursuit of cooking as an
accomplishment. Cooking soirees are
frequent, and it goes without saying
that the art attains greater excellence
among the French bellies than it ever
has when countenanced by English or
American danes of high degree.
Frenchwomen are born cooks; their
present caprice merely demonstrates
that this hereditary instinct is not con-
fined to any one class. At recent
reception at the splendid home OF
Princess, refreshment bar was fitted
up in the drawing room, at which the
guests were supplied with warm dishes
broiled, roasted and sauted on ele-
CANT cook stoves by very aristocratlo
young women. The men, it is said,
could not eat enough in their anxiety
to show their appreciation OF the
novel institution and its charming
promoters. New York Times.

Keeping Young.

American women might learn an ad-
vantageous lesson of their French SIS
ters in the art of keeping young. But
it is no recipe for cosmetics, that they
would require. First of all, French
danes do not worry, or, if they do,
they conceal the fact admirably. They
are apparently on the crest of the
wave of good fortune perpetually.
Next, and almost equally important,
they decline to hurry. They take life
moderately, perform their duties with
out haste and linger over their pleas
ures. And-in these two simple rules
lies mine of wealth for her who is
wise enough to appropriate it, Gin
cinnati Gazette.
