Can Cure Asthma and Hay.Fever.
A NOTED PHYSICIAN OFFERS TO PROVE
THIS TO ALL SUFFERERS IN
MONTPELIER.

The Majority of sufferers from asthma
and kindred complaints, after trying
doctors and numberless remedies adj
vertised as positive cures, without
avail, have come to the conclusion that
there,is no cure for these most distress
ing diseases, and these same persons
will be the more in doubt and skeptical
when they learn, through the columns
of the press, that DR.. Rudolph Schiff-
mann, the recognized authority who
has treated more cases of these dis
eases than any living doctor, has
achieved success by perfecting rem
edy which not only gives immediate
relief in the worst cases, but has posi-
lively cured thousands of sufferers who
were considered incurable. These were
just as skeptical as some of our readers
now are. DR.. Schiffmann's remedy,
no doubt, possesses the merit which is
claimed for it, or he would not au-
thOrize this paper to announce that he
is not only willing to give free TO each
person suffering from asthma, hay
fever or bronchitis, in this city, one
liberal " free trial box of his Cure,
but urgently requests all sufferers to
call at Lester H. Greene's drug store,
% State street, within the next three
days, and receive package absolutely
free of charge, knowing that in max
ing the claim he does for his Cure,
strong doubt may arise in the minds of
many, and that personal test, as he
offers to all, will be more convincing
(and prove its merits) than the pub
fishing of thousands of testimonials
from persons who have been perma-
nently cured by the use of his Asthma
Cure. CDR. Schiffmann's Asthma
Cure," as it is called, has been sold by
druggists of this city ever since it was
first introduced, although many per-
sons may never have heard of it, and it
is with view to reaching these that he
makes this offer. This is certainly a
most generous and fair offer, and all
who are suffering from any of the
above complaints should remember the
date and place where the distribution
will be made, and avail themselves of
the same. Persons living out of this
city who desire to test the efficacy of
this most wonderful remedy will receive
package free by mail by writing to
DR.. r. Schiffmann, $50 Rosabel street,
st. Paul, MINI, providing their letter
is received before October 16, as nc
free samples can be obtained after that
date.

The HOUSEHOLD.
Little Feet,

Two little feet, so small that both may nestle
In caressing hand;
Two tender feet upon the untried border
OF Lies mysterious land
Dmpled and soft, and pink as peach.tree blossoms
In April's fragrant days
How can they walk among the briery taugles
Edging the worlds rough ways2
Those 1ose-white feet along the doubtful future
Must bear a woman's load;
Alasl since woman has the heaviest burden,
And walks the hardest road,
Love, for a while, will make the path before them
All dainty, smooth, and fair
VIII cut away the brambes, letting only
The roses blossom there.
But when the mothers watchful eyes are shrouded
Away from sight of men,
And these dear feet are left without her guiding,
Who shall direct them them
How will they be allured, betrayed, deluded,
Poor little untaught feet
Into what dreary mazes will they wander?
What dan gers will they meet2
VIII they go stumbling blindly in the darkness
OF Sorrows fearful shades7
Or find the upland slopes of Peace and Beauty,
Whose sunlight never fades2
VIII they go toiling up Ambitions summit,
The common world above2
or in some nameless vale, securely sheltered
Walk side by side with Lover
Some feet there be which walk lfes track un
wounded,
Which find but pleasant ways;
Some hearts there be to which this world is only
ronnd of happy days
But they few Many there are who wander
without hope or friend,
who find their journey full of pains and losses
And long to reach the end.
How shall 1t be with her, the tender stranger,
Fair-faced and gentleeyed,
Before whose unstaned feet the worlds rude
highway
Stretches so strange and wide?
Ali who may read the future? For our darling
We crave all blessings sweet,
And pray that He who feeds the crying ravens
VIII guide the baby's feet.

Table Linen.

Table linen to look well should always
be sprinkled and rolled at least ten hours
before it is ironed. If good linen, it will
not need any starch. A cloth to look we'll
should not be folded with too many creases.
One through the center lengthwise and
then folded once again the same way will
leave the cloth without any cross creases.
When dry, roll the cloths, but do not fold.

The best way in which to clean hair
brushes is with spirits Of ammonia and
warm water. Take II tablespoonful Of
ammonia to quart of water, dip the bris'
ties up and down in the water without
wetting the back, rinse in clean warm
water; shake well and dry in the air, but
not in the sun. Soap and soda soften the
bristles and will turn an ivory backed
brush yellow.

To prepare Il floor for dancing have it
well washed, and when the boards are thor

them and rub it in well with the feet If
there are children in the house, get them

is washed and dry with milk.

petit larceny jointly with Howard in
stealing E. P. Watson's sheep. Couu=
