Pineapple for sore Throat.

From the Newbern Journal.
DR. G. K Bagby tells us of a remedy
for sore throat which he has twice
tried with signal success and esteems
so highly that be wants the public
to know of it's merit It is to eat a
slice of pineapple and spoonful or
two of the juice every thirty or forty
minutes, as long rs is needed. The
canned pineapple answers the pur-
pose as we'll as the fresh.
DR.. Bagby found mention of the
remedy in the London Lancet; that
paper had copied it from the Ger
man Medical Journal. The first
time the doctor tried it was on one
of his children who had bad case of
liberated and granulated sore throat.
In about thirty hours the throat was
we'll.
The next time it was a mild case
and IN less than twenty-four hours a
cure was effected 1t is claimed that
not only is the pineapple efficacious
in simple sore throat but that it is
also a specific for diphtheria. 1t has
oae advantage over most remedies.
There will be no trouble in getting
the patient to take plenty oft.

Cheaper Clothing.

From the Atlanta Journal
One of the most benefcent pro-
visions OF the Wilson tariff goes into
effect today.
1t is 81 substantial reduction of the
tariff on blankets, carpets, cloths,
dress goods, f1aDnels, cloaks, jackets,
ulsters, yarns and all woollens and
wOolIen goods. The tariff on these
articles of DE- cessity Las been out
rageousiy high under Republican
legislation, aud the masses of the
people have cause for thauktulness
that the cost OF their clothing, car
pets and coverings has been reduced
under Democratic administration.
On all woollens and wooilen goods
the reduction has been substantial
and on many articles OF common use
it is heavy.
The substitution Of a Democratic
for Republican tariff will save the
people oil this country many millions
of dollars year in their clothing
alone, Under he Mckinley tariff
duties were specific on many articles
OF clothing and the poor were there
fore compelled TO pay as much duty
on their cheaper purchases rs the
wealthy pail n very expensive and
elegant manufactures OF wool. The
Wilson tariff substitutes ad vaiorem
for specific duties, aud titus qIalizes
the burdens.
The good effects of the decreased
duties in the woollen schedule will be
felt by the people at once.

Two materials are now being combined in
most dresses, and woolens are trimmed
with silk, satin or velvet. Chenes are use
full, as they blend well with the colorings
of the thicker fabrics.
For indoor toilets thin silks are in full
favor, both figured and plain varieties be-
ing worn. The gown of which sketch

Hanging shelves ard brackets.

In designing hanging shelves. cabi-
nets or brackets it is well to bear in
mind that any weight put upon the
shelves tends TO pull the nail by which
tho whole concern is held out of the
wall. If the shelf is deep. it may be
loaded TO the edge, and thus exert a
great leverage. 1t is well, therefore, to
make the shelves as narre~ as they can
be and yet be serviceable. Again, the
nearer the point of Suspension is to the
shelf the greater the leverage exerted by
the latter upon the nail or hook which
supportssit- 1t is best, then, to make a
hanging cabinet tall and shallow, or, if
another shape is required at least to
hang it from near the ceiling by long
cords, says The Art Amateur.

Nebraskans Advised to Eat Dog.

Later advices from Nebraska con-
firm the first reports of the destitu-

of that State.
In several counties hundreds of
families are without money and pro-
visions. Many are barefooted and
half clad. Contributions are coming
in, but the country doesn yet realize
the extent of the suffering in Ne.
braska and the character of the
relief needed.
A prominent Nebraskan, in view OF
the scarcity of food and the great
number of prairie dogs, advises his
destitute fellow citizens to eat these
animals. He says that they are ex-
cellent food, and describes them as a
link between the squirrel and the

Day gowns are plain as to skirt, and the
tRnor made styles are popular.
Eighteen hundred and forty styles seem
deaM ned to prevail this season. Ample
skirt bodioes gathered into belt, with a
buckle, balloon sleeves and berthas, are
the characteristics of the mode. Some
times the belt has long ends, but these are
usually attached to the skirt by a chou or
. motif of passementerie. Passementerle
and bows or chous of ribbon, velvet or even
the same goods as the gown are the favored
trimming.
Buttons are the novelty of the moment.
For jackets buttons of ivory beautifully
carved are employed by those persons who
can afford it, while pearl, silver and cut
jet buttons form a part of the trimming
OF many gowns.
Jet is very much favored, and enormous
jet cabochons are employed for various
purposes on many winter costumes.
Matinee Jackets are elaborate in style
and are made of soft silk or crepon of
bright or delicate colors. Berthas, epau-
lets and boleros of guipure or embroidery
are employed to trim them, with knots
and chous of ribbon.
Light gloves are worn with visiting
toilets, suede gloves in straw color being
considered correct, or glace kid in pearl
gray or white.
An illustration is given Of an out of
door toilet of Russian green granite silk
The skirt is laid in two box plaits on each
nide and three in the back. Two bands of
green velvet run across the front of the
skirt under the four plaits. The round
bodice has two plaits back and front and
has also velvet yoke round behind and
square before. A wide collar follows the
shape of the yoke at the back, but falls
Straight over the shoulders in front. A
band of skunk fur trims the wide collar
and borders the velvet standing collar.
The velvet belt closes in front under a
windmill bow. The gigot sleeves are plain.
