Silk Shirt Waists.

Shirt waists of white India silk are
worn with skirts of all colors. One of
the most difficult of undertakings is
the cleaning of white silk garments.
They should never be trusted to in
competent hands. If the garment can
be cleaned with naphtha it is much more
likely to retain it's new and fresh ap-
pearance; but if this cannot be done, it
may be very quickly washed in white
CASTLE soap and cold water. 1t should
be laid into towel that the water
may be absorbed at once, or, what is
much better, hung on the line drip
ping and allowed to blow dry. If care
is taken not to wrinkle or crush the
silk, it ometimes-provided the quail
ty is goodwill dry and look quite as
handsome as new; but the cheaper
silks will not do this; therefore, in Sc
lecting silks that must be washed and
cleaned, it is much better economy to
pay a few cents more and get better
grade that will stand the handling
without destruction.-N Y. Ledger.

ADVICE ABOUT SIGNATURES.


There is place in the scheme Of
creation for diminutives in names.
That place is in the bosom of the fam
lily, and among those who are almost
as intimate with one as ones family.
But it is not proper to take the public
into ones confidence in regard to ones
pet name, and until women realize this
fact they will not have made that adj
vance they are continually claiming.
ELLEN Brown" is a much more digni-
fled person than Nellie Brown"
Those who know her well, of course,
know that she is dignified young
woman even when she signs her COM
munications: Your loving Nellie"
But the cold unfeeling world will not
realize it. Could Mrs. Lease have be-
come great had her name been Mamie
instead of Mary? Would Frances Will
lard have been the head of the w. G.
7. U. had she been known as Fannie?
Fancy j. Ellen Foster posing as Nellie
Foster, or Elizabeth Grannis welding
wide influence as Lizzie Grannis. But
not only in the public world do diminu
tives unfit for work, but also in the
semi-public life of private individuals.
A private woman writing to a dress
maker or a butcher should not call
herself "Sallie'' or Carrie" but Sarah
or Caroline. When woman in private
life writes for publication or acts as
secretary for club she should observe
the same reserve. 1t is seldom that
"ies" find fame and are long remem-
bered Helen of Troy was never Nellie
to the public. Penelope never allowed
anyone but Ulysses to call her Pen.
Anne Hathaway was Nan" to few
people besides Master William Shakes
peare. Queen Elizabeth could never
have reigned successfully as Queen
Lizzie, and Joan of Arc could never
have been great name in history had
she allowed herself to be generally
known as Jennie -Philadelphia Press.

Failure.

DEr1ANDED.

A general banking business is done by
the human system, because the blood de-
posits in its vaults whatever wealth we may
gain from day to day. This wealth is laid
up against a rainy day as reserve fund
we're in condition of healthy prosperity
if we have laid away sufficient capital to
draw upon il the hour of our greatest need
There is danger in getting thin, because it's
a sign of letting down in health To gain
in blood is nearly always to gain in sOhoIe-
some flesh. The odds are III favor of the
germs of consumption, grip, or pneumonia
If our liver be inactive and our blood i'm.
pure, OF if our flesh be reduced 6elow a

increase in our geymo1fe]ztt,ee- strength DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery enriches
the blood and makes it wholesome, stops
the waste of tissue and at the same time
builds up the strength. A medicine which
will rid the blood of its poisons cleanse and
invigorate the great organs of the body,
vitalize the system, thrill the whole being
with new energy and make permanent work
of it, is surely remedy of great value. But
when we make positive statement that %
per cent. of all cases of consumption can, if
taken i'll the early stages of the disease, be
CURED with the :" Discovery" it seems like
a bold assertion. All Dr. Pierce asks is that
you make thorough investigation and
satisfy yourself of the truth of his assertion

ical Association, Buffalo, N. Y, you can get

photographs of a large number of those

all repaired to the vestry where dinner
had been prepared by the ladies OF the

was discussed by Rev. I. Luce and others.

by Rev. Mr.. S Strout Of Gorham.

Having been absent for several days,
upon my return / noticed Secretary OF
State Fe=senden's statement, in which
he attempts to support by certificate
signed by Mr.. Russell, his clerk and de-
pendent, that his statement that | as
serted that there was fraud, etc. In the
state printing, as repeated by the Secre-
tary was substantially correct" (note
the word substantially, which would
not be cons .dered particularly reliable
under oath.
Contrary to this, one of Portland's
most prominent citizens, an acquaint-
ance of the Secretary and myself, has
stated to me voluntarily that the Secre-
tary told him, after the publication of
his communication and my reply there
to, that there were no witnesses pres
ent at the time of the interview. Thus
the Secretary places himself by his
statement to one of PortIand's leading
citizens. in direct contradiction to his
statements as certified to by his su bor-
dinate, Mr.. Russell.
We will leave the issne between his
two witnesses, each contradicting the
other, one an unbiased citizen and a
friend of both parties, and the other the
Secretary's clerk and dependent.
AS to the Secretary's billingsgate, I
concede to him the entire monopoly of
that class Of language, as he seems most
proficient in it's use. 1t is evidently nat
ural to him.
As the Secretary has had so many
opportunities accorded to him for his
communications in excess of what I
have asked for, | trust you will give
this response to his misstatements adj
