"Ti1e Wonder Ta'es From Wagner.

Some time ago '"The Story of the
Rhinegeld," a simple prose trea tment
of the Wagner operas founded on the
Nibelungenlied, was published by the
Harper Bros. They have now sent out
another series by the same author,
Anna Alice Chopin, a volume Of the
same character, written in the same
spirit, with the same end in vfew-the
faTiliarizing of the young people with
the legends that Wagner used for the
plots of his great operas.
In "The Wonder Tales" the author
tells the stories of 'The Flying Dutch
man. "Tannhauser,'' "Lohengrin, -
Tristan and Isolde" and 1.-THE Master
Singers of Nuremburg.' The legends, as
used by Wagner, are related by Miss
Chopin in graceful, pleasing manner,
and the book is well adapted for the
use of young people.

A bitter word dropped from our lips
against brother is like a pistol fired
amongst mountsins. The shart report
is caught up and intensified and echoed
by rocks and caves till It is like thun-
der. So an unkind word, in passing
from mouth TO mouth, receives progress
sive exaggerations, and SNOWFALL like
increases as it rolls. Scandalmongers
are the persons who tear the bandages
from social wounds and prevent their
healing. y whisper-word of SANDER is
like that fox with Il firebrand tied 70

standing corn of the PhiliStines. 1t

tableness and bitterness of spirit, as the

The class received valuable sug-
gestion when Mi Limerick said eggs
should never be allowed to boil. The
hardest boiled egg is Just as digesti-
bic, she said, as the one that is cooked
soft, provided it is properly prepared.
Very frequently when eggs do not
agree with peraon it is because they
have been boiled. A poached egg
should be broken into water that is at
boiling point and then set back on the
range where it will not boil again.
Eggs cooked in the shell are better
when put in water that has been heat
ell TO 100 or $50 degrees, considerably
less than boiling point, and kept at
that heat until they are cooked suffi-

requires an hour to cook it properly.

gle to regain health aftsz the birth of
her little girl;
DEAR Mrs. PISKHAM:-It is with
pleasure that l add my testimony to
your list, hoping that it may induce
Others to avail themselves of your val
liable medicine.
I" After the birth of my little girl,
three years ago, my health was very
poor. l had leucorrhea badly, and
terrible bearing-down pain which
gradually grew worse, until could do
no work. Also had headache nearly
all the time, and dizzy feelings. Mem
situations were very profuse, appear

but it seemed TO do no good. / was

Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and after taking two-thirds of
the bottle felt SO much better that |
send for two more. After using three
bottles felt as strong and we'll as any
one.
81 think it is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised, and
recommend it to every lady meet suf-
fering from this trouble"
Maternity is wonderful experience
and many women approach it wholly
unpreparcd. Childbirth under right
conditions need not terrify women.
The advice of Mrs, Pinkham is freely
offered to all expectant mothers, and
her advice is beyond question the most
valuable to be obtained. II Mrs. Pax

A novel way of preserving flowers,
leaves and vines has been discovered
by SOM ingenious English girls. The
specimens are carefully dried up to o
certain point, and are then laid upon
sheets of soft paper something like
our blotting paper. This is moist
ened, a sheet of waxed paper placed
over it, then another sheet of soft pa
per, layerof leaves and flowers, a
sheet Of wax paper, and so on. Tho
whole series is then placed under a
board, on which is put a very heavy
weight, or which is placed in power
full press. The pressure brushes the
flowers into the soft, wet paper, and
as this dries it sets, fastening the
specimen very securely.
