A HIGH TRIBUTE.
A Cincinnati Business Man Praises
Pink Pills.
From the Cincinnati, Ohio, Enquirer.

From the Cincinnati, Ohio, Enquirer
A well-known and popular citizen of the
east end of Cincinnati is Robert Nimmo,
who for the past nine years has been the
general manager of the Gholson Fence Com
pany. Mr.. Nimmo lives at Ga East Fourth
Street with his wife and family. He is a
man of force of character and is an expert
in poultry foods, having devoted considera-
BILE attention to that subject.
A few months ago the many friends of
Mr. Nimmo were seriously alarmed about
his health Mr.. Nimmo tells an interesting
story in connection with his illness that may
prove beneficial to others who are suffering
from nervous and stomach troubles. He
said:
Last October I caught severe cold. 1t
brought on dyspepsia and had violent fits
of coughing. My stomach became badly
disordered, and to add to my trouble, was
80 nervous that could do nothing, and not
only was afraid that would be compelled
to give up business, but that would not
live long. Several remedies were suggested
to me and l tried three or four, but they
didn't help me a particle. Some one called
my attention to DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People. l bought box of them
and / commenced to improve almost i'm
mediately. They not only drove away the
feeling of misery in my stomach, but toned
my system to such an extent that i am now

felt well, and / told my wife to-day that I
would buy four more boxes of the Pink Pills,
that they had cured me before and that they
were good thing to have in the house in
case of sickness. / can recommend these
Pink Pills in the highest terms Some of
the things i took when contracted the cold
seemed to do me good for day or two, but
the effect was not lasting. The benefit de-
rived from the Pink Pills was permanent.

ute to the excellent qualities of DR.. Will

He is one of thousandsin this city who can
testify that Pink Pills have given them new

three female musketeers of the brush.
They have taken big, roomy apart
ment with eight large side windows
looking out over a vacant lot, which,
with it's abundant grass and nodding
daisies, comes as near being a meadow
as any place could within the city linn
its. So they are assured plenty of light,
air and pleasant outlook during the
warm days and nights.
The furniture of the little double draw
ing-room is all of bamboo and wicker,
one big divan being piled with cushions
covered entirely in blue and white
slips. There is a piano of white enamel
in one corner, and low table to match
for the magazines and summer litera-
ture. There are few plants, but very
little bric-a-brac, and only as much fur
niture as is needed. The windows are
uncurtained, but shaded with Venetian
blinds, which keep the house cool dur
ing the day. The doors are hung with
bamboo curtains, and the breeze keeps
| them tinRling musically all the time.
| The general effect is that of GOODNESS,
| cleanliness and space.
The dining-room is fitted like the
parlor, and in this apartment there is a
great bay window, which extends
across one entire side of the room.
Here these ingenious girls have sort
of conservatory of vines and plants,
not shutting out light and air, as in too
many cases, but trained close to the
walls and spreading over the ceiling.
Swung across this sylvan nook is tas-
seled hammock of white cord, and upon
it big pillow in lace-trimmed mus
lin cover rests invitingly. 1t is difficult
to imagine one of these young women
climbing to this airy retreat, but as it
swings in the air which comes through
the open easement it looks restful and
summery.
One of the attractive objects in this
room is big glass punch-bowl, resting
on the white embroidered linen DOYLE

Electric Candles in England.

The electric candle is in great re-
quest in England for the lighting and
decoration of dining and other tables.
An ingenious device for lighting the
candles is provided by placing small
pads under the tablecloth, and taking
the current from them by means of two
pin points in the base of the candle.
stick. The candles, of course, are ex-
tinguished on being taken from the
table, and are relighted when they are
replaced in the proper position. They
are so arranged that the bulb and the
glass imitation of a wax candle can be
removed, when the candlestick can be
used for an ordinary candle When
used with shades of colored silk, the
electric candle makes one of the pref
tiest additions to dinner table that it
Is possible to imagine.

HOW TO MANICURE.
The First Treatment Is by All Odds tn
Most Difficult.

The First Treatment Is by All Odds the
Most Difficult.
Hot water is the first requisite, and
thorough washing or soaking of the
hands. This is best attained by having
the hot water poured into basin con.
tinually for two or three minutes. The
hands must be allowed to soak for full
ly five minutes, and it is well, instead
of soap, to wash the hands thoroughly
in bran, which makes the skin soft and
white. After the hands have been thor
oughly cleansed the nails should then
be attended to, says Harper's BaZar.
With piece of orange-wood stick
sharpened to a point, and bit of jew
elers' cotton rolled around the point
and wet with the acid that comes for
this purpose, every particle of dirt and
stain should be removed. The hands
must then again be washed, this time
in warm, not hot water. Scissors very
sharp and fine must then be taken, and
all loose flesh at the side of the nails
carefully trimmed. The nails must be
shaped in a pointed oval. All roughness
must be filed away and the flesh at the
base of the nail pushed smoothly and
firmly back so that the half-moon, sup
posed to be point of beauty, can be
oiscerned.
1t is no longer considered good form
TO have so much polish on the nails
that they look as though they had been
buttered, as was the fashion two or
three years ago. But a certain amount
of polish is necessary. Rosaline put on
over the entire nail and the end of the
finger, then washed off again and the
nails polished brislSly with polisher
makes the hands look trim and pretty
The first manicuring is by all odds the
most difficult. After the nails and
hands are once got into good condition
fifteen minutes each Monday morning
will keep them in proper condition al
the week through if only ordinary care
in washing the hands, with an occasion
al rub from the polisher, is given.

There is no known method by which
sRgs can be kept to be equally good as

Of preserving them so as to make fair
substitute for use in the kitchen. The
great object to be attained is to pre-
vent evaporation. Cutting off the air
from the contents of the she'll pre-
serves them longer than any other
treatment. At present cold storage is
considered the best,method of preserv-
Ing eggs, but few have the necessary
facilities, and where the amount is
Imall one of the following trecipes
will be found acceptable:
Eggs may be preserved by packing
small end down in salt, sand or dry
bran, care being taken that they do
not touch each other. They must be

ncid has been added, or given coating
of salt butter, or covered w 18th spirit
varnish made by dissolving gum
sh ellac in alcohol.
For preserving in lime pickle is
made in the following way: Take
twenty-four gallons of water, twelve
pounds of unslacked lime and four
pounds of salt, or in that proportion,
according to the quantity of eggs to
be preserved. Stir several times daily
and then let stand until the liquor has
settled and is perfectly clear. Draw
or carefully dip off the clear liquid,
leaving the sediment at the bottom.
Take five ounces each of baking soda,
cream of tartar, saltpeter and boraS
and an ounce of alum. Pulverize and
mix these and dissolve in gallon OF
boiling water, and add to the mixture
about twenty gallons of pure lime.
water. This will about fill cider bar
rel. Lower the eggs in carefully in a
basket or colander, so as not to crack
any of the shells, letting the water al.
ways stand an inch above the eggs
which can be done by placing barrel
head a little smaller upon them and
weighting it. The eggs should remain
In the brine until ready for use. If il
evaporates more water may be added
but the pickle should never be used
more than once. These proportions
will give brine enough to preserve
about one hundred and fifty dozer
eggs.

THE CORN IN THE GREEN.


A Pretty Bit of Sentiment Drawn from
Its Delicate Tint.
Pure color almost always gives the
Idea of fire, or rather it is, perhaps, as
If light shone through as well as the
color itself. The fresh green blade of
corn is like this-so pellucid, so clear,
and pure in its green as to seem to
shine with color. 1t is not brilliant
not a surface CLEAN nor an enamel-it
is stained through. Besides the moist
clods the slender flags arise, filled with
the sweetness of the earth. Out of the
darkness under-that darkness which
knows no day save when the plowshare
opens it's chinks-they have come to
the light. To the light they have
brought a color which will attract the
sunbeams from now till harvest. They
fall more pleasantly on the corn, toned,
as if they mingled with it.
Seldom do we realize that the world
Is practically no thicker to us than the
print of our footsteps on the path.
Upon that surface we walk and act our
comedy of life, and what is beneath is
nothing to us. But it is out from that
under world, from the dead and the
unknown, from the cold, moist ground
that these green blades have sprung.
