KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products TO
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
alive effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.

An Iuterrupted Explanation.

"Apropos of the peculiarly American
tendency to explain things" he was
saying, "there occurs to my mind the
attempt sometimes made to ccoun
for the derivation of the compound
word Welsh-rabbit. ] regret to notice
that Webster falls into the common
error of considering the word rabbit
a corruption of rare bit. Now, as
shown by photographers who have
had the advantage of a technical ac-
uuaintance with facts relating to the
origin of the word, Welsh-rabbit is
merely a slang term and not a r
ruption at all. 1t never was anything
but Welsh-rabbit, and in it's genesis
it was essentially a slang term, yet by
reason of it's long habitude in the IAN
guage it has lost or outgrown
might be called the coarseness OF Its
origin, and is now entitled to a place
in the accepted vocabulary without
any apology or fanciful explanation.
In proof of this / may cite other ex-
amples, notably"

of the little Boston boy, ''you weary

The Oldest New Woman.

Frances Power Cobbe is one of the
most remarkable women Of the Vic
torian era. She may, indeed, be de-
scribed as the oldest new woman now
living OH this planet, and is in many
way a kind of progenitor of the new
woman of whom we hear so much
nowadays. Throughout the lifetime
of a generation hers has been the
most eloquent voice, the most siren
uously raised to plead the claims of
our in%articulate brethren in fur and
feather, and no II has done more
to give force and volume to the move
ment in favor of dumb animals, which
she truly declares to be a fresh divine
impulse of mercy stirring in thous-
ands of human heart Her campaign
against vivisection has extended oven
several decades.

IRE Care of Velvet.

The proper way to care for velvet
garments or breadths of velvet that
are not in use seems to be limited at by
the way in which some merchants
keep their stock of velvet. 1t Is first
all unrolled and sheets of tissue paper
as wide as the material laid over it on
the right side. 1t is then loosely fold
ed and laid In boxes. If one has q
packing trunk or a closet fitted up
with shelves or deep wide drawers for
holding best gowns. sheets of tissue
paper can be laid between the folded
breadths in the same way, and to pre-
vent them from rubbing and pressing
on each other. The secret of preserv-
ing white satin and keeping 1t white
and free from spots is, l am told. to
lay blue tissue paper between the
breadths. putting small pieces of
white beeswax between the papers so
that they will not touch the satin, and
then wrap the whole securely in dark
blue cambria. Such a gown will look
fresher if the breadths are ripped so
that they can be spread out perfectly
smooth. Both paper and wax should
be changed once a year.

a late invention.
French women have long known the
virtues of prompt inhala Mons of eau
de cologne for a cold. but like all such
remedies, the cologne should be in
hailed as soon as the first symptoms
of the attack appear. Deep whiffs
must be taken, and the fumes are
more potent when the cologne is pour
ed on a handkerchief. -Four or five in
halations of from two to three min
utes each are sufficient.
Never throw away a scrap of black
silk. An inch strip of black silk is a
boon sometimes. After ripping up the

gloves and put them to boil in a pint
of water. Let them boil for an hour.

and rub every incl of the silk with
the mixture till it is thoroughly sat
urated and all spots are removed.
Then fix Il tub of warm water, in
which put a liberal quantity of borax,
and pick the silk up by the corners
sand dip it up and down in the tub of
water. Dip and dip until it is well
rinsed, hen take out to the line, where
you have pinned a long strip of cloth
about a foot wide. To the edge of this
cloth pin the silk by the extreme edge,
stretching it so that it is not wrinkled
and does not drOop. Let it drip dry
and it will need no ironing. Do this
on n bright day, when there is ne
wind. Black ribbons may be cleaned
the same way.-New York Telegram.
