Mrs Wilson, wife of Postmaster General
Wilson, is one of the new women in the
official round this winter. Mrs, Wilson
has lived in Washington during the whole
period of her husbands congressional ca
reer, but she has mingled so little in gen.
eral society that she is comparatively
stranger to most of those longest in it.
While her health has had great deal to
do with ohlging her to give up the pleas
ures of society, her tastes are not naturally
given in that direction. She is a woman
of strong intellectual turn of mind. but her
gentle voice and amiable manners would
lead the ordinary person to suppose that
she never had a thought outside the joys
of her domestic circle. Her young daugh-
tiers are still school girls, inheriting the
taste for books and learning that so dis
tinguishes both their parents. Mrs. Wilson
will receive Wednesdays throughout the
winter. and hopes to take part the same
as the other ladies of the cabinet in the
usual round of gayeties. r.. .--

Splendid salve for the Lips.

Unlovely lips come from an unhealthy
stomach. Bad digestion will often
assert itself in broken or chapped lips,
sores in the corner of the mouth, fever
blisters and coated tongue. Chronic
sore mouths should be rubbed with
sweet oil or pure glycerine at night; in
the morning wash with a solution of
alum or borax-a teaspoonful in a
tumbler of water Camphor ice is both
healing and cleansing. Good cold
cream is not a bad salve. The receipt
is simple enough, but it doesn't pay to
prepare it; all the druggists have sup
plies and cheerfu1ly dispense fve-cent
quantities. Citron ointment is one of
the old reliable lip salves kept by all
chemists. 1t is applied to the sore
with a soft linen cloth. When the
mouth is sore the diet should be
changed to vegetable foods.

Some Things to Learn.

Learn to laugh. A good laugh is
better than medicine. Learn how to tell
4 story. A well-told story is as welcome
as a sunbeam in sick room. Learn to
keep your own troubles to yourself
The world is too busy to care for your
ills and sorrows. Learn to stop croalx-
ing If you cannot see any good in the
world keep the bad to yourself. Learn
tc hide your pains and aches under
pleasant smile. No one cares to hear
whether you have the earache. head
ache Or rheumatism Don't cry. Tears
do well enough in novels, but they are
out of place in real life. Learn to meet
your friends with a smile. The good
humored man or woman is always well
come, but the dyspeptic or hypochon-
driac is not wanted anywhere, and is
a nuisance as welL-Detroit Tribune.

TREATMENT FOR coLIc.
The Remedies of Our GRANDMOTHER ArA
OF Little Use.

The Remedies of Our GRANDMOTHER ARP
or Little Use.
Humorous illusions to 'colickv
babies are never fully appreciated I'M
til the condition is observed in each in
dividuaIs own offspring, and then
somehow the humorous side is gone,
for of all rest-disturbing ailments,
collie takes the lead.
Overlooking is a prolific cause. and
very often by reducing the food sup
ply the ailment disappears of itself
But some qualities of the milk will
produce collie, so that it is as well TO
have a cure ready. 1t nearly always
comes at night, but cannot be timed
invariably, for if the mother or nurse
count on a couple of hours of rest
through the day, it is just as likely to
arrive then. Total depravitv'' can be
applied to collie as well as other things.
The symptoms are sudden, piercing
cries and contraction of the legs. Some
attacks are very severe, while others
are mild. Catnip tea and paregoric
the remedies of our grandmothers, are
of the little use, for they only soothe
without expelling the wind which
causes the disturbance. Drops and
cordials are useless for the same rea
thing then used which removed the
cause, and that was mahe to stupefy
by adding laudanum.
The remedy now in vogue with uni
fornly good results is soda mint Tie
tablets are sold extensively for indi-
gestion, but a liquid form is best for
babies. Get a ten per cent. solution,
and for child up to month old take
one-ha1f teaspoonful of mint to three
of warm water, slightly sweetened.
Increase the dose with age.
The effect of this simple remedy in
most cases is almost magical The
wind is thrown off in an incredibly
short time and the after effect is to
soothe the nerves, so that sleep comes
swiftly in its train. There is nothing
de1eterious in its composition. for the
the sole ingredients are carbonate.
soda, ammonia and pip. menthol
Enough water must be given to kill
the taste of the soda, which is very dis,
agreeable.
Hot applications to the stomach are
of first Importance in this complaint.
Flannel bands heated at the FIRE or
wrung out of hot water, hot salt
wrapped in flannel or hot-water
bottle next the skin all help a speedy
cure. But no medicine is lasting
With attention to the diet the number
and duration of attacks may become
shorter, but it will very likely be
three months before they subside.-

NINE. RHEA'S NEW PLAY.
The Actress Presents '"The Partisan" at
Wilmington.


Wilmington.
WILMINGTON, Jan. 3.-Mme. Rhea is
playing her new play for the first time
here this week. 1t is four-a comedy,
entitled "The Partisan" The play is a
translation of Victorien SardOu's "La
Famills Benorton," written about thirty
years ago. Its first appearance was well
coined by large and fashionable audi
ence, which testified to the .mer-
its of the production by pro-
longed applause. The story is laid
in a suberb of Paris. Mr.. Bourgeois,
a rich parvenu, who has made his for
daughters and a son of the gay and fes-
tive kind. The girls dress fastidiOusly,
attend the horse races and are very ready
with slang phrases. While attending
the races one daughter is insulted, the
other carried off.
The eldest daughter is married to a
business man whose duties occupy so
much of his time that he is blind to the
extravaganza of his wife. She orders a
fine lot of lace, which he declines to pay
for The money she secures by GO
ing to the race track and
then pays the bill. Her husband
goes to the miIiiner's and finds the bill
settled. and at once suspects a certain
Count Champrose-who had previously
loaned his wife money to pay her debts
at the gaming table-of liquidating the
bill for his wife. A dramatic scene fol-
lows in which Nine. Rhea, as Clptilda,
the peacemaker. tries to convince the
husband that his suspicious are wrong.
The play ends by the husband asking
forgiveness Tor his evil suspicious. The
cast was IA remarkably strong one. Mime.
Rhea made remarkably good impress
