 neTience ot thousands has made it an in. eispatable fact. Consumption is moi a dis ease of the lungs. It is disease of the blsod, which in weak lunged people man. tfests itself by the formation of tubefcles In the lungs and the wasting away of iunp tissue. The cure for consumption is simple It consists in the administration of a medi- cine that will assist the lungs in throwing of tueercUicus matter, and that will cleanse the system so that this refuse matter will be replaced by strong, healthy tissues That sounds like very simple operation, and yet consumption batiied the combined med ical skill of the whole world for hundreds Of years. Consumption was considered iu- curahle until the advent of Dr. Pierceis Golden Medical Discovery. This great remedy is the most wonderful blood purifier and strengthener that the world has ever known Ii is the result of years of study aud experiment, by 6 scientific physician lud has been tested in every way by him for over 50 years . Il has an unbrokeu of diseases, because almost all diseases have their origin and support in impufity and weakness of the blood As long as . mans blood Is rich and pure, he is in no danger from diseases The blood is tine medium through which food is carried from the digestive system to all of the tissues of the body. If t carries impure things, or an insufficient quantity of good filings, trouble will ensue. There is nothing about that so very hard to understand It Is per fectly plain and natural and rational. The " Golden Medical Discovery puts the sii- gestiye system in perfect order puIifes and enriches The blood and so puts the whole body into perfect tune

Blankets after the winter use are never
clean, and should not be put away without
being washed. Many housekeepers in view
of the shrinking and discoloring caused
by washing, satisfy themselves with airing
and shaking their blankets, but this is
q great mistake, for if the work is prop
erly done the soft appearance and white
ness may be retained for years.
The most important consideration in
washing blankets is to have plenty Of
soft water and good soap. An inferior cheap
soap Is. really the cause Of the injury done
wooden goods in washing, as 1t hardens and
yellows the fibre. When ready to begin the
work, shake the blankets free of dust, fill
tub nearly full of soft hot water, and dis
solve third of cake Of Ivory soap in it.
Put one blanket in at time and dip up and
down, gently washing with the hands.
Never rub soap on blankets, or wash
on the washboard. After the blankets
are clean, rinse them in warm water until
free of suds. Add little bluing to the last
water. Shake and squeeze rather than
wiring, and hang on the line until dry. Then
fold and pack away in box securely to
exclude the moth. Blankets washed in this
way will keep their original freshness and
wear very much longer than II put away
soiled year after year. ELIZA r. PARKER.

SINCE YESTERDAY.

The mavis sang but yesterday
A strain that thrilled through Autumn's 8
dearth;
He read the music of his lay
In light and leaf, and heaven and earth +;
The windhowers by the wayside swung,
Words Of the music that was sung.
In all his song the shade and sun
Of earth and heaven seemed to meet,
Its joy and sorrow were as one,
Its very sadness was but sweet;
He sang of summers yet to be;
You listened to his song with me.
The heart makes sunshine in the rain,
Or winter in the midst of May,
And though the mavs sings again
His self-same song of yesterday
[ find no gladness in his tone;
To-day | listen here alone.
And even our sunniest moment takes
Such shadows of the bliss we knew
To-day his throbbing song awakes
But wistful, haunting thoughts of you;
Its very sweetness is but sad,
You gave it all the joy it had.
