The American Woman.

The American woman is again the sub
iect of an interesting paper from the French
point of view that has lately been done into
English for The Popular Science Monthly
OF her the writer says: "Of all the gifts
which it (nature) has lavished upon her,
one of the most characteristic is certainly
adaptability Few women in Europe pos
sess in the same degree as the American
woman the faculty of identifying them
selves with their medium of changing
country, climate and surroundings with so
wonderful suppleness.
more perfectly than others she accom-
modates herself to circumstances, while she
preserves her individuality in strange sur
rounding. Whenever we meet the Amer
lean woman-and we meet her everywhere,
in the ranks of the English peerage and of
the highest European aristocracy, as well
as in more modest conditions-we are struck
with that marvellous adaptability in which
wise men see the signs of the superiority of
a race or of species"

Him For singIe Sisters.

Two sisters can help each other great
deal by wearing gowns that suit each other
and by posing about harmoniously. making
pictures Of themselves. 1t is ornamental
to the rooms too. know a pair OF girls
who owe half their invitations to the fact
that they make point Of posing in corners
and looking sweet and interesting. They
devote themselves so much to this that
they are not at all particular about getting
the usual attention girls expect, and host
esses realize how decorative they are and
useful, too, in way. OF course girls who
go in for this kind of thing should set each
other off. One might be, for instance, a
vivid red blond and the other dull ashes
blond. One ought to be either distinctly
prettier than the other, or one should be
quite another type from the other. Boston

Every Girl Should Be Taught to Darn.

Every girl should be taught to darn with
all the dainty stitches of the art. There
should be instilled into her sense of the
disgrace of wearing stocking with even q
broken thread, while darn well put in has
a homelike, respectable look that in no
way deteriorates from the value of goodi
stocking. Darning is lady's occupation
akin to embroidery in dizziness and gentle
ness of touch. 1t requires skill and judg-
ment to select the thread, which should be
but trifie coarser than the web of the
stocking, or, in case of cloth, than the
thread of the goods. Where a cloth may
be easily raveled it is better to darn it with
the Rawlings, unless it is in q place where
more than ordinary strain come on the
goods Thick cloth should be darned be-
tween the layers, and when done by skill
full hand and well pressed hework becomes
practically invisible.

What to Read.

Is not one of quantity but quality, so the

cording to Mr.. Lowell, consists of knowing
what to leave in the inkpot. Applying the
same truth to reading it may be said that

who knows what books to leave uncut. II

Solomon was SO great as to call for com

The Top Floor the Healthiest.

Live as near the top of your house as you
can. 1t is the most healthful part of the
whole building. There is more air, freer
circulation and less of the unwholesome
dust from the street.
People often wonder at the rugged health
of servants in spite of their constant and
wearing duties. 1t is to great extent ow-
ing to the fact that they usually sleep in
purer atmosphere than any other occupant
of the house.
The attic, generally devoted to storage
and servants rooms, is far more valuable
than the second floor bedrooms pre-empted
by the heads of families. There are GER
tain physicians who insist on their patients
being taken way up stairs at the beginning
of an illness.
In the average fat house the top floor is
always rented for smaller sum than any
of the others, and yet it is sure to be light
and cool, while in the stuffy down stairs
rooms one must burn gas all day. No one
passes your door or tramps over your head,
and you can have the roof for garden.
Some people object because their ceilings
get the benefit of every leak in the roof
But there is deep consolation in the fact
that no one can be legally compelled to pay
rent when the roof leaks

Rich Red Blood

In the body of an adult person there are
about 10 pounds of blood.
The blood has as its most important ele.
ments, small round corpuscles, red and
white, in proportion of about 800 red to 10
white ones.
If the number of red corpuscles becomes
diminished and the white ones increased
the blood is impure, thin, lacking in the
nutrition necessary TO sustain the health
and nerve strength of the body.
Then That Tired Feeling, Nervousness,
Scrofula, Salt Rheum. or others of the long
train of ills, according to the temperament
and disposition, attack the victim.
The only permanent remedy is found in
reliable blood medicine like Hoods Sar.
saparilla, which acts upon the red cor
puscles, enriching them and increasing
their number. 1t thus restores the vital
fluid to healthy condition, expels all i'm
purity, cures Nervousness, That Tired Feel
ing, Scrofula and all other diseases arising
from or promoted by low state of the blood

not by our own statements, but by what

about Hoods Sarsaparilla. Read the testf-

The wise man runs no unnecessary risks.
There are few greater risks than allowing
a cold to fasten itself upon the system.
Whether it attacks the throat, the lungs, the
stomach or the muscular system, if given
even little time, it is sure to strengthen
its hold and can then be shaken off only
with great difficulty.
1t is entirely unnecessary to run these
risks. ALLcocK's Porous PLAsTERs applied
to the back, chest, pit of the stomach or to

A continuous down pour of rain, inclem-

into the circulation counteracts these in
fiuences and interpose defense against
them. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, most
thorough and effective of stomachics and
tones, not only enriches the blood, but
accelerates its circulation. For a chill, or
premonitory symptoms of rheumatism
and kidney complaint, particularly preva-
lent at these seasons, it is the best possible
remedy. 1t is also invaluable for dyspep-
