COlors and Taste in the Home.

We can't all hope to understand colors
well enough TO originate startling effects
in them any more than we can all expect
to sing like Patti or paint like Rembrandt
But we can all, or nearly all, have what
is known as good taste if we strive for it,
and we can make our homes pretty and
wholesome and cheerful if we will only
give over CHASTITY color tones that we really
do not like, but hope we are proving our
selves artists by using. True artists have
made some wonderful revelations in "A dec
orative way i'll subdued coloring of late
that we all ought to be grateful for but
that Is no reason wy we should make
them sorry by initiating Weir explorations
when we don't know how. The woman
of the moment seems to think it is rs easy
to be artistic as it is 60 be clean and rs
bad not to be as it is To swear. We wish
she would change her mind.
In one way it is worse To have the home
take ON the dolcful artistic attempt than
to have the toilet do So for when u woman
who is trying to look like Nandyke can
vas and only succeeds in resembling tea
store chrome takes her walks abroad we
can generally look some other way, but
when we are hedged in by four walls Of
detected decorative failure there is no help
for our poor eyes.-New York Times.

Disseminated Children.

Parents sometimes complain that then
boys and girls had rather spend their even
ings anywhere else than at home and want
advice as to the bcst method of curing
such an evil. When we read such com
plant, it always occurs to us that the chief
trouble may lie in the fact that they do
not make home a pleasant place for their
children. Is it cheerful at the hearth and
at the tablet Does the father strive TO
make home bright and happy, or is he
silent, moody and unsociableY Are his
children furnished with IA proper supply of
books, papers, magazines and such other
means of amusement and improvement as
their natures requireY Does the mother
make friends and confldants of her daugh-
tiers, or does she merely dole out to them
food and clothingY Do the parents, in
short, sympathize in the joys and griefs,
the hopes and fears of their children. or
do they ignore all that is most essential to
the happiness and genial culture of child
hood' Whenever parents find that their
offspring are beginning to prefer any other
place before home let them ask themselves
these questions, and they may discover the
secret of their children's unfortunate pref
erences. New York Ledger.

Half the world suffers from pains and
aches when there is not the slightest reason
for so doing. Headache is alarmngly fire..
quent and leads to serious results. Back
ache is most common and keeps thousands
in misery. Neuralgia pains of side or chest
torment myriads of victims. All this suf-
fering lis caused by weakness, irritation
or diseased condition of the nerves and
blood, is entirely unnecessary, and can
easily be cured.
Sheriff K. w. Howe of Northfeld, VT,
advises you in all such cases to use Dr.
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy.
He tells the great good this remarkable
medicine did him, and to show the high
esteem in which he is held by his towns
people and that you can trust implicitly in
every word he says, it is only necessary to
state that Sheriff Howe has been sheriff and
deputy sheriff of Northfeld for twenty
three years; is town trustee, street COM
missioner of Mortified, chief engineer of
the fire department, town grand Juror
and school committee, besides being prom
inent business man, well known throughout
the state of Vermont. The word of man
so highly trusted and honored should be
taken and his advice followed by all.

Where He Drew the Line.

The man who sold windmills adjusted
his chair at new angle, crossed his
feet on the railing of the balcony, locked
his hands over the top of his head, and
began: Curious fellows, those Way
back farmers are; droll chaps to deal
with, too; cute and sharp at a bargain.
Most of them know good thing when
they see it, 80 | took good many or.
ders; but once in while l come across
a conservative old hayseed whose eyes
are closed to anything modern. One of
that sort helped me to good laugh the
other day, and ! might as we'll pass it
on. He was genial, white-headed old
fellow, who owned several fine farms,
with prime orchards and meadows,
barns and fences in apple-pie order, and
dwellings serene in comfort. He lis
tened closely while expatiated on the
excellence of our make of machines;
then taking fresh supply of Caven-
dish, he squared him selfin his chair,
with his hands in his pockets, and held
forth in this fashion: WAL, stranger
he said, your machine may be all right;
but now see here. 1 settled here in the
airly fifties, broke the trail for the last
few miles, blazin' the trees as we came
along. l had fair start, good health,
yoke O. cattle, COW, an axe, with one
bit an three coppers in my pocket. 1
built log house with shake ruff an
puncheon floor, an cow.shed of popple
poles ruffed with sod. 1 had worked
hard, up airly an down late, clearin' up
land by degrees, an diggin' Twin out
O. the sile by main strength, an no
favors except the blessin' O. the AL
mighty. The Lords been good to me.
He's gin me housen an barns; he's
gin me horses an cattle; he's gin me
sheep an swine, an feathered fowl o.
many kinds. Au' now, stranger, after
all that, I'll be everlastingly burned if
I'll be so mean as to ask him to pump
water for 'em.' "And then" con-
tinued the story-teller, " he brought his
hand down on his knee with whack
that fairly echoed through the house.
Of course l couldn't urge him to pur-
chase after that expression of his senti-
ments, and | left him. Independent,
wasn't hep" Then the windmill man
chuckled, as if he enjoyed the memory
of the scene he had just described; and
his hearers enjoyed his story so much
that when he left he was richer by three
or four rders.-Harper Magazine.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
The Country Doctor,

There's gathering in the village, that has
Since the soldiers took their musktts to the war of
'sxty-one;
And lot of lumber-wagons near the church upon
the hill,
And crowd of country people Sunday dressed and
very STILL
Now each window is pre- empted by a dozen heads or
Now the spacious pews crowded from the pulpit
to the door;
For with coveret of blackness his porty figure
spresd,
Lies the grim old country DOCTOR in a massive oaken
bed.
Lies the fierce old country doctor
Lies the kind old country doctor
Whom the populace considered with mingled love
and dread
Maybe half the congregation now of great or little
worth,
Found this watcher waiting for them, when they
upon the earth;
This undecorated soldier, of hard unequal strife,
Fought in many stubborn battles with the foes that
sought their life.
In the nighttime or the daytime, he would rally
brave and well.
Though the summer lark fifeing, or the frozen
ances fell;
Knowing if he won the battle, they would praise
their Makers name.
Knowing if he lost the battle. then the doctor
blame.
Twas the brave old country doctor
Twas the good old faulty doctor
Twas the faithful country doctor-hghtng stoutly
all the same
When many pinned in sickness he had stood so
strongly by,
Half the people felt notion that the doctor coudn'd
die;
They slowly learn the lesson how to live from
day to day;
And have somehow lost their bearing-now this
landmark is away.
But perhaps it still is better that his busy life is
done:
HI has old views and patients disappearing
one by ONE
He has learn ed that Death is master both Science
and of art;
He has done his duty fairly. and has acted out his
part.
And the strong old country doctor,
And the weak old country doctor,
Is entitled to furlough for his brain and for his
heart. Will Carleton,
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1895-11-20
He Passed On.

They said would find barber-shop
when got to the hamlet of Boonville,
and as / rode into the place 1 kept nv
eye open for the sign. None was to be
seen, and finally stopped at shoe
shop and asked the cobbler if there was
a barber-shop in town. Certainly"
he replied, "this is the barber-shop."
"And can l get shaver" "Of course.
Come right in" But what sort of a
shop do you run?" / asked. "Shop is
all right, sir. l have no BARRIERS chair,
but that doesn't matter. Sit down on
my shoe-bench, please" "Have you
any soap?" ono regular shaving soap,
sir, but plenty of soft soap, which is
just as good" Where's your razor?"
81 haven't regular razor, but one of
my shoe-knives will do just as well.
In fact, all my customers prefer a shoe
knife TO razor. Just take off your
coat and I'll pin this coffee-sack around

me once on my way home so bad that was
obliged to have help to get home. / suf-
fered greatly with this trouble. My rheu-
matism at this time was very bad, being so
that for six weeks did not leave the room
and for five months l did not do days work
=" saw DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy advertised and the cures ef-
fected by its use and thought it might hit
my case, and it did. The asthma is greatly
improved, in fact, it is nearly cured, and
the rheumatism is greatly helped. 1 think
very highly of this remedy for it is good.
| would recommend anybody to use DR..
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy
for asthma or rheumatism, for it is good
medicine. l deem it simple justice to
great remedy to write this letter. 1 never
expected to do any more work when l was
sick, but the Nervura did me great deal of
good and am now able to work again.
Its not a patent medicine but the prescrp-
ton OF the most successful living specialist
in curing nervous and chronic diseases, DIR.
Greene, of "a Temple Place, Boston, Mass
He has the largest practice in the world and
this grand medical discovery is the result of
his vast experience. The great reputation
of Dr. Greene is guarantee that his med-
cine will cure, and the fact that he can be
consulted by any one, at any time, free of
charge, personally or by letter, gives abso.
Lutte assurance of the beneficial action of
this wonderful medicine.

Care of the Nails.

All that is needed for proper care of the
nails are pair of finely pointed curved
scissors, file, "a cuticle knife channels
polisher, a box of nail powder and pack
age of cream, Nails that are too highly
polished and cut to sharp point are not
in good form. Before using the polisher
the loose skin about the corners of the
nails should be cut away and the skin at
the roots of the nails should be pushed
back. The scissors should never be used
when the file will answer the purpose.
When polishing the nails all the powder
should be washed off, as it is apt to crack
the skin around the nails. Great care
should be taken in pushing down the Gu
ticle around the nails with any metal i'm
