Aromatic vinegar for tho Sic. Room

Arom-tie vinegar for tho Sick Room.
There is French legend that during
the plague at Marseilles n band of rob
bers pIundered the dying and dead
without injury to themselves. They
were Imprisoned. tried and condemned
to death. but were pardoned on condi-
tIon that they disclosed the secret
whereby they could ransack with i'm
punity houses AFFLICTED with the terri
BILE seourge. They gave the following
recipe. which makes a delicious and
refreshing wash for the sick room:
Take rosemary. wormwood, lavender
rue. sage and mint. large handful of
each: place in a stone jar and turn
over IL one gallon of strong elder vine
gar, cover closely and keep near the
fire for four days; then strain and add
one ounce OF powdered camphor. Bot
tie and keep tightly eorked. It is very
aromatic, cooling and refreshing in the
sick room. and is Of great value to
nurses.

a GOOD THING
For Women to Remember.

That in addressing Mrs. Pinkham
they are communicating with woman
Ia woman whose experience in treat
ing woman's ills Is greater than that Of
any living physician-maleo or female.
A woman can talk freely to woman
when IL Is revolving TO relate her pri-
vate troubles to a man-besides, a man
does not understand-simply because
he Is a man.
Many women suffer in silence and
drift along from bad to worse, know
ing full well that they should have i'm
mediate assistance, but a natural mod
esty impels them to shrink from expos
ing themselves to the questions and
probable examinations of even their
family physician. II Is unnecessary.
Without money or price you can con-
suit n woman, whose knowledge from
actual experience is greTter than any
local physician living.
The following invitation is freely Of
fered; accept 1t in the same spirit:
Women suffering from any form OF
female weakness are invited to freely
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at
Lynn, Massachusetts. All letters are
received. opened. read and answered
by women only, thus has been estab-
lished the eternal confidence between
Mrs Plnkham and the women of Amer
lea which has never been broken and
has induced more than 100000 suf-
ferers 10 write her for advice during
the last four months. Out OF the vast
volume OF experience which she has to
draw from, IL Is more than possible
that she has gained the very knowl-
edge that will help your case. She
asks nothing In return except your
good will. and her advice has relieved
thousands. Surely any woman. rich
or poor. is very foolish II she does not
take advantage of this generous oter
OF assistance.-LydiaE f. Pinkham Med

MAJORS Hio STORY.
Ids. of HI. wife Giving Him % wo.
Him . Prize

Him . Prize
There were five or six OF them sit
ting about the stove In the drug store,
and they had been telling some pretty
tall stories, says the Detroit Free Press.
The druggist was man OF some hui
NOR and invention. and he concocted
mixture OF great potency and fine
favor, composed of sp. frumenu. sac
charum alba. cortex limonis, carophyl-
lus aromaticus and aqua pura O. s.
This mixture he proposed to admin
lister to whomsoever should tell tho
biggest story, and the party at once be-
gan to stretch their inventive powers
to the fullest extent. A toilet-soap
drummer was appointed Judge. and the
prize mixture. steaming hot. sat in an
eigAt-ounce graduated measure upon
edge OF the stove.
The colonel told war story of the
Munchausen variety. the squire related
a hunting adventure that evinced a
decided genius for evadlng the truth
and the postmaster made strong bid
for the prize with a snake story big
enough to make sea serpent Jealous.
The others followed In turn, and the
last man, the major. entered the com
petition. The major had in his mind
a remarkable narrative about a dog
that he owned that did some wonder
full things. and he began his story in
this way:
Last Wednesday morning l got up
n little later than usual and went down
to breakfast Most OF you have seen
that brown setter OF mine-he's good
deal smarter than most men. Well.
that dog was in the iining-room when
went in. As 1 came in the door my
wife. who was waiting for me. said:
John. when went in to wake you
up this morning found this IS bill on
the foor. You must have dropped Il
from your pocket when you undressed
last night Then she handed me the
bill Now. that dog OF mine was"

drummer. you needn't so any further
with your story. The prize is yours.
I'm a married nan myself. and that
lie you've just told is one that you'll
never improve on. / hereby render a
decision In your favor"
As there were no single men in the
crowd not voice was raised In pro-
test against the judges verdict

now To KEEP EMBROIDERED Ii
EMS HRIGHT AND FRESH.

That hand work on wash materials is far
more desirable than on silk and velvet, so
popular n few years ago, cannot be doubt
ed, vet many women complain that the
colors fade and dinge so soon that the
work IS labor thrown away. But this is
an error, for If properly laundried, wash
silks may be kept fresh and bright until
the articles they adorn are past usefulness.
The doing of the embroidery is no daintier
work than that of keeping 1t In good order,
and only by doing it herself can the tasty
woman have her fancy linens kept bright
and pretty.
When ready to do the work, select 9
bright day, fin small tub nearly full of
warm water and add a little Ivory soap to
make suds, put each piece in and wash
carefully. After each article is clean,
rinse in slightly blue water, to which a
little thin starch is added, wiring and hang
in the shade. When dry, sprinkle, fold,
and let stand half an hour. Iron on tho
wrong side, pressing down heavily to
throw out the stitches of the embroidery,
thus restoring their original beauty.

nIrd surgery.

Some interesting observations have
been made by French sayant on the
surgical treatment Of wounds by birds
In these II was established that the
znipe had often been observed In re-
pairing damages. With It's beak and
feathers II make a very ereditable
dressing. and has even been known to
secure broken limb by means of a
stout ligAtnre- On one occasion the
sayant killed a snipe which had on it's
chest a large dressing composed of
down from other parts of the body
and securely fixed to the body by CO.
aguiated blood. Twice be had snipe
with interviewer feathers strapped on
TO the site of fracture OF one or other
limb. The most interesting example
was that Of n snipe both of whose legs
he had unfortunately broken by mis-
directed shot. He only recovered It on
the following day. when he found that
the wounded bird had contriyed TO ap-
ply dressings and a sort OF splInt to
both limbs. In carrying out this oper-
alton some feathers had become en-
tangled round the beak. and, not being
able TO use It's claws to get rid of
them, the poor creature was almost
dead from hunger when found.
