When person is losing flesh and
wasting away there is cause for alarm.
Nothing so worries a physician. Con
sumptives would never die if they could
regain their usual weight. In fact
there would be no consumption if there
was no wasting of the system. The
cause of this loss of flesh is a failure to
properly digest the food eaten. Nine
tenths of all our diseases date back to
some arrangement of the stomach.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial will
stop this wasting of the body. 1t acts
by causing the food we eat to be digest
ed so as to do good, for undigested food
does more harm than good. The Cor
dial contains food already digested and
is digester of foods as well.

Daily Occupation.

1t is not unusual to Danish from this
portion of life any idea or hope of peace.
That is kept for the evening, when labor
is over, and the comforts of home and
rest take its place; or it is reserved for
the evening of life, when exertion ceases
and energy droops; or it is relegated to
some time in the future, when sufficient
means have been secured to make work
appear unnecessary. 1t stands for the
realization in some way of ease, COM
fort, leisure, luxury, opportunity. On
the other hand, toll, effort, hardship,
struggle are all put in opposition to it,
Thus men will often live lives of labor
and sacrifice, hoping by this means to
obtain peace and tranquility when the
toll is over. But, to unite the two, to
enjoy peace in toll, tranquility in effort,
seldom occurs to them. Yet no peace
worth having exists without power, and
power must have its outlet in activity.

OUTSIDE CLEANING.
A Work ThAt IL Too often Neglected
by Housekeepers.

by HOusekeepers.
The last parts of a house to be cleaned
are the piazza and the various portions
of the base which are spattered with
mud stains after the winter SHOWS and
spring rains. This is work which
many housekeepers neglect or relegate
to the outside workers. In a small
house, where the immediate premises
of the house, as well as the inside, are
under the care of the housekeeper, this
is certainly part of the housekeeping.
II all parts Of the woodwork of the
piazzas and the base of house, as far
as it is splashed with mud, be carefully
cleaned it adds great deal to it's neat
appearance. 1t is not often necessary
to do this work more than twice year,
at the season of the semi-annual clean
ings. A good stepladder is necessary
for this work, one of the light-handled
ceiling brooms used to sweep ceilings,
and other brushes. Brush the ceiling
of the piazzas, thoroughly removing all
cobwebs and dust. Dust the openwork
cornice and the balustrade and wipe
them off with n damp cloth. Brush off
the side of the house, the window casing
and the blinds included in the piazza in
clear, cold water, unless the blinds have
been already washed and wiped with
the other blinds when the inside of the
house was cleaned. Sometimes the dark
woodwork of the piazzas may be i'm!
proved by rubbing thoroughly with
mixture of two parts pure and raw lin
seed oil and one part turpentine. This
removes the gray look which in time
dark paint often assumes. The oil must
be thoroughly rubbed in with firm cot
ton cloth, if it is used. The base of the
piazza and house above the stonework
should be thoroughly brushed with
stiff broom, and then busted. Brush
the stopework of the foundation also.
See that the sod grows close to the
house to keep the foundations from be-
ing muddy. A foot or more of clean
gravel is sometimes placed next the
foundations of house to prevent them
being splashed. 1t is a better protec-
ton than the thickest sod if coarse peb-
bles are used. Where there is no such
protection, every rain spatters the
house more or less, and no care can
keep it neat. After thoroughly busting
the base of the piazza and house take
pail of cold water and a stiff whisk
brush and scrub over it's surface, using
soft cloth to dry it as fast as it is
washed. Change the water as often as
it becomes too sandy to use, and con-
tinue the work until it is done. The
base of house should always be paint
ed rather dark color, not light shade,
as so many houses are. A light base is
not only more easily soiled and requires
more care to keep in order, but it gives
the house a weak look, inconsistent
with the dignifed, substantial appear
ance which dwelling house should
haven. Y. Tribune.

Summer Skirts.

The latest novelty in summer petit
coats promises to bring comfort in it's

grass linen and the style is simple.
Lightweight taffetas, wash silks and

and to be absolutely comfortable one
needs a varied assortment.

top, with Spanish founce IL inches
deep, which in turn is edged with mar

Evening gowns are worn over colored

white, whether it be silk or nainsook.

He seemed to be friendly, but if SO,
his friendship was voiceless, for they
never spoke to one another except when
speech was necessary; and he avoided
her as much as he could. To his Gus

her face with strange expression that

painfully, and thereafter she avoided
him as much as he did her.
"Thou shouldst not mind him, child"
the old mother, whose keen eyes had
taken in the situation, said one day in
German. "He is a good son to me, and
he is not unfriendly to thee, but he does

any woman but his mother"
His attitude toward her and the con-
tinued separation from her little one
were the only trials Roberts widow was
called to bear while her life with the
kind old German woman lasted. And
as she was allowed to see the little one

More than two-thirds of the life of q

Therefore wise mother is exceedingly

which French milliners prepare under
the apparent impression that baby is
a sort of toy to be dressed up for dis

bed. The pillow of the baby's bed
should be a fiat one of hair, not over two
inches thick. This is not the conven-
tional baby pillow of the shops. That
is a doll-like affair of down, covered
with linen cambria and edged with lace,
and is very dangerous pillow to use
for two reasons. First, the brain of an
infant is very sensitive and liable to
congestion from over-excitement, in
digestion or some slight cause, and the
head should be kept cool, and should
mot be heated by down pillow; sec
ondly, the down used in the shops-un-
aess the work is made to ORDERS al
ways Arctic down. This is composed
of the soft feathers stripped from the
quilts of the German goose. 1t is so
penetrating that the fine particles will
force themselves through the seams
and the interstices in the muslin, which
is usually used to cover the pillow, or
even through bed ticking. These I'M
wholesome Particles floating in the air
are then liable to be breathed by the
sleeping infant.
. The best bed coverings for a baby
are sheets of cambria or linen in sum-
mer and soft blanket of pure Cali
fornia wool, which are as warm and
light as down and much more whole
some, in winter. A silken comfortable
of down is allowable if the mother can
afford that silken-like down which the
elder duck plucks from her breast to
line the nest which she builds for her
own ducklings in the Arctic SHOWS.
This soft, dun-colored down does not
float about, but clings together, so
that it is safe to use it. The coverlet of
the baby's bed may be of any dainty
hued wash silk. This coverlet will pro-
tect the blankets as well as a heavier
counterpart of cotton.-St. Louis Re-

Some Interesting Facts Regarding

they are composed would reach 2371 miles,

''But, Mr.. Shultz," said Roberts
widow, 81 must earn my living. 1 must
go out and find some work TO do. have
no money left, and cannot afford the
rent even of these two rooms. 1 must
sell my furniture to get money to keep

Zach! You do not understand what
I say. My mother she says you shall
come and live with her, and keep her
from being lonesome. She don't want
money; she wants company. You want
company, and you want money too.
When you get rested you come in the
drug store every day, and take in the
money and help keep the books as my
mother has done. l will pay you for
that. But first, my mother says you
need to rest little while"
She seemed undecided, and across his

"You let my mother talk to you," he
said, after a moment or two, and lum-
bered out, closing the door softly.
A little later Mrs. Schultz came in, and
soon the soothing tones OF her quaint
broken English had proved far more
persuasive than all her son had said.
'Come to me, child" she said, Groom
ingly, land let me put you to bed and
make you TO sleep. Then you shall help
the old woman. Do not look at me that
way. 1t is / who need thee much more
than thou needst me-" she concluded, in
her native tongue.
And so it came that Roberts widow
came to be the housekeeper of the little
family of three, sometimes serving as
cashier and helper in the neat little
drugstore on the ground floor. The
years-two or three in number--that
followed, moved uneventually along.
Little by little she became used to living
without Robert; little by little she grew
cheerful and almost contented.
Between her and the druggists moth
err there came to be such bond as may
exist only between two women with
pure and simple minds. But Roberts
widow could not understand the son.
