CHESTER.

Real estate has not lost all activity.
A deal was consumated last week be-
tween f. II. Stearns and Olcott Dam
son, the latter acquiring building
lot on Grafton street adjoining ID.
Cutters, 1t seems strange for man
to buy plot and have to dig cellar
when there are so many cellar holes
that fire has left nude, that need COW
ering.
The selectmen have laid road
from school street down to Nj. Nj.
Lovejoy's house through land of Col.
j, f Pollard for which the Colonel
gets $500. land damage.
The mill site which the fire raked
off last winter, belonging to Ed.
Carlisle, is to be sold at auction soon.
1t is good place and when rebuilt,
in right hands, can be made a paying
property.
Frank Stearns is in Boston now
looking after his property there. He
has concluded not to repair the dam
which turns the water into the canal.
The last fall high water made sad
havoc and left him not worth dam.
Frank Junkins is having changes
made in the interior of his tin shop,
L. N. Parmeter doing the carpenter
work. We understand that Frank is
to carry on the undertaking business,
so that when man dies and is buried
there will be "a dollar left for "the
wilder "
Mrs. A. L. Ware is in Boston on
business this week, so Albert has to
attend the chickens.
Mrs. F. Ii. Stearns has gone to
Weston for a few days visit with her
parents, Mr.. Marbles people.
The Cnban question and political issues
sink into insigniflcance with the man who
suffers from piles. What he most desires,
is relief DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve
cures piles.

Tie Bomb in Jeff DaYis'A Dask.

When the United States troops oc-
cupied Richmond, Va, April 8, 1866,
General Edward H. Ripley, of YER
mont, who was appointed military gov
ernor of the city, found in the desk
of Jefferson Davis, in the house occu-
pied by the Confederate President, a
cast-iron bomb in the shape of lump
of coal. 1t was evidently cast from
a good-sized piece of coal, was coated
with coal tar and coal dust, and could
hardly be distinguished when handled
from a lump of coal. 1t was hollow,
and would hold powder enough to
make heavy explosion. Army au-
thorities have never doubted that the
otherwise unexplained blowing up of
a steam vessel loaded with ammuni-
ton at City Point was the work of a
bomb of this kind, which had been
dropped into pile Of coal and shov-
elled into the furnace of the steamer,
and similar bombs probably occasioned
similar catastrophes during the war.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Flowers In a Bow1-Points Keeping
Meat-A Pretty Wainscoting.
To Destroy Flies.

I like flowers in bowl, said q wom
an Of an inventive turn of mind and ar
tistic taste. It has such generous effect,
as if they had been picked in great
handfuls. But do not like them pack
ed in solid mass, SO have taken NAL
1eable copper wire NO. 20) and made
frames to go over all my bowls and
wide mouthed vases, and now [ can ar
range my flowers with great ease and
artistic effect The wire frame is very
easily contrived. With pair of pinchers
bend a ring of wire the size Of the edge
of the bowl, hooking the ends of the
circle together. Then across this ring
stretch lengths Of wire, allowing about
half an inch over the diameter, the cir
Gle to bend down and fit over the edge
Of the bowl. Twist the wires together
where they cross each other and give
firm twist around the circle of wire, and
that is all. Where the wires bend over
the edge Of the bowl they are entirely
hidden by the leaves and flowers, and
the whole thing can be removed for
cleaning.
When arranging flowers with this
frame, [ first make a light foundation
with sprays Of green to conceal the
frame. Common garden asparagus is de
ightful when filling Jars with sweet
peas and many other blossoms. Nastur-
tiums 1 use with their own foliage, Of
ten sticking the flower stems right
through the leaves On this foundation
flowers throw themselves into the most
fascinating attitudes without any con-
straint or unnatural heavy massing.
And you can hardly avoid making them
look light and graceful. Any one who
has once utilized this simple device
will never be willing to struggle with
the arrangement of flowers in the old
way.-Louisville Courier-J ournal

Points on Keeping Meat.

A scientist gives q bit of information
for housekeeping that may be found
useful. He says meats ought never to
be wrapped in paper, even while COM
ing from the Butchers, much less should
they be left in paper overnight or when
put away in the icebox A large sized
sheet of paper will absorb half of the
juice of a good steak if it has the oppor-
tunity, and thus destroy the most deli
cate and relishable portion of it. One
housekeeper has a covered china dish
that she sends to the market, and in
this meats are placed. When she re-
quires large amount, she often sends
the porcelain lined preserving kettle
with a rack in the bottom and a piece
of ice underneath. OF course this is not
necessary in very cold weather, but dur
ing fall and spring people do not realize
that meats deteriorate very rapidly upon
exposure to the air. The temperature is
so much cooler for them that they for
get that chemical changes take place
quickly even in moderately cool wealth
er. A market basket filled with an agate
tray or basin is excellent for meats. An
ordinary cover may be used, and in
this way the steaks and joints will
come to the table in a much better state
than if they had been allowed to give
up their substance to a bit of MANILA.

Il CAUTIOUS MAN.

It's good thing to be cautious
when among strangers, said the pre-
else looking man to tall, angular old
fellow, to whom he was talking on
the deck of an Atlantic liner.
Yes, was the response, you can't al
ways tell who you're talking to when
you don't know, and strangers thrown
together, as we are, are very likely to
make mistakes if they don't look out.
That's what I think about it, said
the precise one. There are several
people around here that I'd like to
know who they are, but feel a deli
cacy in asking.
{ Who, for instance? asked the tall
party letting his eyes wander about
the deck
Well, there's lady standing there,
by that door, talking to young fellow,
who looks as if he might be her son.
That far door? inquired the tall
party, stretching his neck around.
Yes.
She looks as if she might bite nail
in two.
Yes
Got jaw on her like vice.
Yes.
Keeps it going all the time as if
there wasn't any such thing as an
eight-hour law?
Yes.
Got a bonnet that looks as if it
might be sign for vegetable gardner
Yes.
Got complexion like slab of tan
bark?
Yes.
Got clothes on that look as if they'd
been made out of last years circus
posters.
Exactly-she's the one! Who is she?
The tall party got up to have bet
ter.look before committing himself.
She's lay from Westminster, amt
she? he said with laugh, as he sat
down again.
Yes. who is she?
Oh, she's my wife. Let me take
you over and introduce you?
But the cautious man declined, and
managed to lose himself in the crowd
as quickly as pc ssible.

To DESTROY Flies.

Procure 5 cents worth of cobalt at a
drug store and sprinkle it on plates
with a little sugar, Cover it with water
and set it where flies can drink. 1t is
sure death to them, but must be kept
out Of the reach Of children, as it is
very poisonous.
Soak a bunch of leeks in sufficient
water to cover them for four or five
days. Strain and wash the furniture
and pictures with the water The odor
is scarcely perceptible but will keep the
flies at distance
A castor oil plant growing in the
room will kill many and drive away
the rest.
A bunch of walnut leaves or a grow
ing japanese lily will have the same
effect.

FIBROTD TUMOR
!1poued by Lydia =. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.

Mrs. B. A. LOMBARD, Box II, West
dale, Mass, writes: q have reason to
think that I would not be here row if
it had not been for Lydia E. Pinkhaln's
Vegetable Compound. 1t cured me of
a fbroid tu1nor in my womb.
Doctors could donothing forme, and
they coCld not cure me at the hospital.
I will tell you about it:
g I had been in my usual health, but
had worked quite hard. When my
monthly period came on, flowed very
badly. The doctor gave me medicine,
but it did me no good. He said the
flow must be stopped if possible, and
he must find the cause of my trouble.
:. pom examination, he found there
was g fbcoid tumor in my womb, and
gave me treatment without any benefit
whatever. About that time a lady
called on me, and recommended Lydia
e. Pinkhan's Vegetable Compound;
said she owed her life to it. 1 said I
would try it, and did. Soon after the
flow became more natural and regular.
I still continued taking the Compound
for some time. Then the doctor made an
examination again, and found every
thing all right. The tumor had passed
away, and that dull ache was gone"
1t can be truthfully stated that
such a result can be accomplished by no
other remedy upon the market, and
fo-cibly proves the peculiar virtue of
the Vegetable Compound
