Useful For Floors,

If only all housekeepers knew the
value and comfort of mating, how
much worry and work would be saved,
how many dull houses would look
CHEEKY! If you own your home and
have hard wood floors, thank kindly
destiny and dismiss the subject. But
if you live in a rented house, or can
not afford hard floors, if for any reason
you are considering the subject of
floor coverings, pause long before
passing over the advantages of mating,
says the Womam's Home Companion.
1t is clean, fresh and easily cared
for. 1t is a perfect floor covering in
summer and an excellent background
for rugs in winter-from the cheapest
to the Understanding to the cheerful
ness OF a room, yielding al ac-
cumulated dust to light brushing,
possessing indeed almost every adj
vantage that floor covering can have,
with no advantages. In making a
move or refitted house, every yard of
it can be utilized. It is easily re-
novated (by soap and salt water), and
can be matched or pieced, using the
whole parts in two rooms to make one
good, complete room. LASTLY, it is
cheap, its growing popularity having
so encouraged its manufacture or i'm.
portation that it is to be had almost
everywhere in great variety at moderate
cost. To sum up its merits, mating
gives house fresh, clean feeling, a
sense of cheerfulness that no other

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Excellent Plain Fritters.-An ex-
cellent plain frittcr is made as follows:
Boil cup of milk until it is reduced
One-half. Flavor the boiling milk
with few drops of vanilla, make a
batter that "cleaves from" the sauce
pan, add two eggs and stir in a table,
spoonful of whipped cream. Roll this
batter lightly on a Toured board and
cut it into balls the size of English
walnuts. They will swell like cream
cakes after frying in hot fat three
minutes. Dredge them with sugar
and serve at once. ~
How to Cure Hiccough.-A woman
in French hospital had a hiccough
which had resisted all treatment for
four days. She was asked to show the
tongue, and it was noticed that with
the putting out of the tongue the
hiccough ceased. The same thing has
been since tried, and with success, in
other cases. All that is necessary ap-
parently is to strongly push the
tongue out of the mouth and hold it
80 for a minute or two. 1t is also sug-
gested now to try the same thing in
suffocative cough, as whooping cough
and choking by irrespirable gases.
How to Make Potato Soup.-Six
large white potatoes, peeled and boiled
until we'll done in two quarts of water.
together with an onion, a bunch of
pot herbs (half the pepper bay leaf.
Mash all through the pouree sieve (if
you do not like too much onion taste,
take it out before you put through the
sieve); salt to taste. Put over the
fire and add little thickening and a
tablespoonful of butter and q quart Of
rich hot milk. In serving dip from
the bottom of the dish, as the potatoes
fall there. Add finely chopped pars-
ley.
How to Make Crab Apple jelly
Wash apples, remove core and all de-
fects of skin; do not peel, cut in
small pieces, add water until you see
it near the surface and boil gently I'M
til the apple is tender; do not stir ex-
cept to prevent it sticking to kettle;
pour while hot into crash or porous
bag and hang it to drain; soon as
cool enough to handle squeeze gently
to get the best of the strip. Return
juice to the kettle and boil a few min
utes, remove all scum, measure juice
and to each pint add a pound of
sugar; boil (and skim as before) until
it begins to CONCEAL and drop thick
from the spoon; have glasses dipped
in hot water Strain through q very
fine little wire strainer, cup shape,
held in left hand while you fill glasses.

HOW WORRY KILLS.
II Injuries Beyond Repair Certain
Cells OF the Brain.
Pharmaceutical Products.


Pharmaceutical Products.
Modern science has brought to light
nothing more curiou>ly interesting
than the fact that worry will kill.
More remarkable still. it has been able
t. determine. from recent discoveries,
just how worry does Kill.
1t is believed by many scientists who
have followed carefully the growth OF
the science of brain diseases that scores
OF the deaths set down to other causes
are due to worry, and that alone. The
theory is simple One-so simple that
any one can readily understand it.
Briefly put, it amounts to this: Worry
Injuries beyond repair certain cells OF
the brain, and, the brain being the
nutritive center of the body, the other
organs become gradually injured, and
when some disease OF these organs or
Il combination OF them arises death
finally enSues.
Thus does worry kill. Insidiously,
like many another disease, it crecps
upon the brain in the form of a single
constant, never lost idea, and, as the
dropping of water over a period OF
years will wear a groove in a stone, so
does worry gradually, imperceptibly,
but not less surely, destroy the brain
cells that lead all the rest-that are,
so to speak, the commanding officers
OF mental power, health and motion.
Worry, to make the theory still
stronger, is an irritant at certain
points, which produces little harm if it
comes at intervals or irregularly. Oc-
casional worrying of the system the
brain can cope with, but the iteration
and reiteration of one idea of dis
quoting sort the cells of the brain are
not proof against. 1t is as if the skull
were laid bare and the surface of the
brain struck lightly with hammer
every few seconds, with mechanical
precision, with never sign of let up
or the failure of a stroke.
Just in this way does the annoying
idea, the maddening thought that will
not be done away with, strike or fall
upon certain nerve cells, never ceasing
and week by week diminishing the
vitality of these delicate organisms
that are so minute that they can only
be seen under the microscope.

But with the naked eye the minute
letters are merely scratches which
have no discernible form.
Mollenhaucr's work was the result
OF an attempt to beat the work OF q
man who had engraved the Lords
prayer on three-cent piece.

floor covering gives. It's soft, new
colorings make it available in the
most carefully studied color schemes :;
it is pleasant to walk upon, is a
practical protest against dust and
microbes, is, in fact, both wholesome
and satisfactory.

The Alpha bet on a Pinhead.

Frank J. Mollenhauer is perhaps
the most expert engraver in New York,
if not in the world. In delicacy of
touch and skill in handling delicate
instruments his work is something
marvellous. His latest achievement
was to engrave the twenty-six letters
of the alphabet on the head of q pin.
Under a magnifying glass the letters
are clear and distinct, and each is as
perfect as any ever engraved for a
visiting card or wedding invitation.

Since the beginning of the year the
cutting of wages has gone on with
dreary and pathetic monotony, which
was not broken or interrupted by that
national red-letter day-March 4. But
this ought to surprise no one, and least
of all those whose wages are cut. A
majority of our people declared at the
last election that the policy OF low
prices was the correct one, and should
become the established policy Of the
country. Wage earners were told, and
myriads of them believed 1t, that their
interests lay in low prices for what
they consumed, low-priced farm pro-
ducts, for instance, and now they must
learn by experience that tariffs nor
proprietors but the prices of farm pro-
ducts ultimately fix the wages Of labor.
II those prices must be as low as else
where in the world then must wages be
correspondingly low.

Waiting for the Wave.

You told us that billow of prosperity
would flow
A mighty wave-across the land from
Maine to Mexico;
That the mills would all be opened and
lost confidence restored,
And the banks would loosen up" their
grip upon the golden hoard.
We are testing now the virtue of the
golden cure" to save,
And are waiting, waiting, waiting,
calmly waiting for the wave.
You said the glorious flag of thrift. at
once would be unfurled,
And wave again in gladness DER The
reconstructed world;
That hopes effulgent beams would
shine in food of living light,
And raven-winged despair would take
her everlasting flight
That these grand things would happen,
you your solemn promise gave,
And now we're waiting, waiting, calm
ly waiting for the wave.
Yes, all these things would happen,
we were confidently told,
If we'd vote for Buckeye Billy and the
single standard gold.
But now we're on our uppers from
tramping through the streets,
In search of work, to earn wherewith
to buy our bread and meat.
We voted as you said we should, in
hopes the way to pave
To better times. and now we're sadly
waiting for the wave.
We've been waiting, waiting, patiently,
for 10, these many days,
And watching for the rosy dawn to
greet our anxious gaze,
Till our wardrobes are depleted, and
our larders running low,
And the interest on the mortgage due,
and we are out Of dough-"
But hope deferred will drive us pre-
maturely to the grave, ~
II we have to wait much longer for the
coming Of the wave.

One of the worst effects which may
fairly be referred to the influence OF
the new" journalism is the tendency
shown by some unwise clergymen to
amitate its sensational methods In or
der to attract or startle their congre-
cations. It is essential that the church
should maintain its hold upon the peo-
ple by keeping abreast Of the times
and adapting its methods to the chang
ing conditions around T.: but the in
nuence Of the pulpit should never be
anything else than elevating. Sensa-
tionalism should never find q place
bhere.

Nothing new under the sum-" said
1.-THE preacher" Yet many people think
that he did not foresee the bicycle. New
ertheless, Mr.. Yang Yu, late Chinese
minister to this country, declares that
they used bicycles in the Flowery
Kingdom twenty centuries ago. He
adds that their manufacture was final
ly prohibited by the emperor because
the Chinese women rode so constantly
that they neglected their families and
domestic duties. This bit of satire in
dicates that Mr.. Yank Yu. has attained
a very intelligent appreciation of Oc-
cidental humor during his residence in

Business shredwness and financial
ability are unfortunately not confined
to the better class of merchants. At a
recent meeting Of the Liquor League
OF Ohio. one Of the officers remarked
that after man was grown and tenn
perance habits formed he seldom ever
changed; and he therefore drew the
conclusion that for the success of the
liquor business missionary work must
be done among boys. "Nickels expend-
ed in treats to the young now will re-
turn in dollars after the appetite has
been formed" Even the habitual
drinker must stand appalled, before the
frankness Of statement Of such diaboli-
cal facts.

would Rush for Employment.

Suppose the government should an
nounce it's intention to build railroad
from New York to San Francisco and
call for laborers to do the work, at the
same time giving notice that all help
would be paid with a new issue of gov
eminent paper money. What rush
for employment would follow! And
vby shouldn't this be done? The peo-
ple need cheaper transportation; ev-
erybody, except the money lenders, rec
oenizes the need Of more money, and
that thousands Of unemployed men
ANXIOUS to work are scattered all over
the country can not be denied. What
a great blessing to the people of the
