advice for some days. The friend being per.
sistent, however, and having faith in the
Pink Pills, would not let up, until he had
finally prevailed upon the sufferer 10 send
for box, which he reluctantly did, and after
receiving them decided to give them fair
trial. The first boz relieved him In n sur
prising manner; yet he was not convinced
that IL was the medicine that helped him,
but the weather which had turned pleasant,
and did not send for further supply until
he was again about as bad as before taking
the pills. Then he concluded he would mako
another trial, and took three boxes, and to-
day is nearly if not quite as well as before
the attack Of Ia grippe. II Is needless TO

A Cheap and Simple wsy to Give New
Pieces the Ivory Tint

A Cheap and Simple Wsy to Give New
Pieces the Ivory Tint
Nowadays when small casts Of the
great pieces Of statuary are beginning
to replace the hopelessly inartistit
bisque shepherds and sheperdesses Of
a decade OF two ago, It Is a matter OF
economy for the mistress of the house
to understand the art Of "ivorizing.'
The glaring white Venus OF Milo
which one may purchase from the bas
ket Of the peripatetic art dealer, may
be made softly mellow and beautiful
at about one-tentb Of the price neces
sary to buy her already "mellowed.'
The medallion heads Of the poets, mu
siclans and conquerors. OF the world
with which aesthetically intellectual
young persons love 10 adorn theiI
rooms, are also much improved by be
ing subjected TO the mellowing process
Besides the cast, the requirements
for the work are cake of white soap
powdered raw sienna and turpentine,
with n large stock OF patience, care
and painstaking. The process With
all Its different, trying periods, requires
about three days. The first expert
ment should be made on either chear
or damaged casts.
Fiji two large tins or basins with
water. Then make the water very
soapy by Rubbing in it a cake Of white
soap. Use the contents of one of these
vessels for bathing your cast. After.
ward let it become thoroughly dry,
Then take the second basin, put into
the soapy water enough powdered raw
sienna 10 color the water to pale tint,
and bathe the cast with the solution
three times, allowing 1t to dry between
each application. The raw sienna Is
deceptive, and it is better to give three
washes and produce n gradual shade,
than to use the wash but once, and
produce too somber effect. The tint.
ing of raw sienna is then put on with
a brush. Next melt some beeswax on
n stove or above the gas, and thin II
with turpentine. Pour this mixture
over the cast, and the result of your
labors is ready for a room with a dry
atmosphere where it should remain
over night. The final touch is that of
| polishing with a dry cloth or bit of
| chamois.-New York Sun.

A Pleasant Custom.

For perhaps couple of hundred
miles along the Michigan Central Rail-
road there prevails in summer the
pretty custom Of presenting flower
to each woman travelling on either Of
the two express trains that pass over
the road every day. The company has
expended much time and money in
beautifying the line Of the road and
the grounds OF the stations with
shrubs and Towering plants, and these
have grown and blossomed so plenti-
fully that enough of the flowers are
cut each day to supply the means for
Weeping up the graceful favor

more 4 Ohio are completed and that
ocean terminal at Baltimore now has
capacity for 5000 cars.
The last of the bunch of IS 2lx26
consolidation locomotives built by the
Pittsburgh locomotive works for the
baltimore & Ohio railroad have been
delivered aud are in service on the Sec

A company of men and some officers
OF the British ship Intrepid were taken
from Vera Cruz to the City of Mexico
by the English colony of the capital city
at an expense of $4,000 and gave CON
certs there which captured the town.
The men were well entertained and us
well pleased as the citizens.
The navy is to return to the old-fash-
ioned practice of instructing naval cad
diets on sailing vessels, against the pro-
test of many of the officers of advanced
ideas, but with the hearty approval
Of the old ndmirals. who contend that
no such experience can be gained for
young officers as is secured in working
ship under sail power.
There are GO modern steamships fit
for cruising now available by the
United States navy in case of war, ex-

The Italian minister of public works
is practical man. He has abolished

feature of Italian railway stations.
Instead complaints must be written on
stamped sheets, which may be pur-
chased at the station and dropped in
box provided for that purpose. Thus
the state will profit by those complaints,
but. as they cost money, people will be
less ready to make them.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

Good pasturage should not prevent
good feeding at the barn. There is at
times too much dependence on the pas
ture supply, but when an animal is Il
producer, like the cow, grain is also inn
portant. Dry food will be rcished at all
ccasons, rs variety is essential for di-
gestion and health.
To have choice pansies next year
plant the seed now, in cold frame. and
ms soon as they are large enough thin
them out or transplant them, placing
the plants six inches apart. Protect
during the winter with covering or
mulch. keeping them in frame. and
set them out in the open air in the
spring.
1t is not safe to grow crop in the
peach orchard, but growers have found
that when phosphates and potash are
applied to the land "A crop of crimson
clover, seed down this month and
plowed under in the spring, will be an
advantage. The clover covers the
ground during the winter and provides
nitrogen in the spring when turned
under.
Warm, wet weather is favorable to
blight or rot, and every effort should
be made to destroy it or prevent its
spread. This is the season of the year
when the ground may contain spores of
fungus diseases for next years propa
cation, and the fruit grower can do
more effectual work now than he can ut
any other time. Every limb, twig, ap-
pie. pear or grape that is affected
should be CONSIGNED to the flnmes.
