IN CLEANING TIME.

Yes, clean your house, and clean your
shed,
And clean your barn in every part
And brush the cobwebs from your head
And sweep the snowbanks from your
heart.
Yes when spring cleaning comes around
Bring forth the duster ard the broom,
But rake your fogy notions down,
And sweep your dusty soul of gloom.
Sweep old ideas out with the dust,
And dress your soul in newer style ;
jScrape from your mind its worn-out
crust
And dump it in the rubbish pile.
Sweep out the hates that burn and
smart,
Bring in new loves serene and pure ;
Around the hearthstone of the heart
Place modern styles Of furniture.
Clean out your moral cubby-holes,
Sweep out the dirt, scrape the scum J;
IT'S cleaning time for healthy souls
Get up and dust. Spring has come
Clean out the corners of the brain,
Bear down with scrubbing brush and
soap,
Aiu Jump OlQ rear ltiGO bilc OEdlH,
And dust coy chair for Hope.
Clean out the brains deep rubbish hole,
Soak every Granny, great and small,
And in the front room of the soul
Hang prettier pictures on the wall !;
Scrub up the windows of the mind,
Clean up, and let the spring begin;
Swing open wide the dusty blind,
And let the April sunshine in.
Plant flowers in the souls front yard,
Set out new shade and blossom trees,
And let the soul, once frozen hard,
Sprout crocuses of new ideas.
Yes, clean your house, and clean your
shed,
And clean your barn in every part,
But brush the cobwebs from your head
And sweep the snowbanks from your
heart!

ton based upon merit has made
money; some of them "barrels. F"
1t Is estimated that Chas. Froh-
man leads the list of managers
with profits of 100000 for the
season. Following him come Lit,
Hayman, Grau, Klaw and Erlan-
ger. Richard Mansfield and one
or two Others with net profits run
ming from $4,000 to $75, 900 on
the seasons business. According
to the New York Worlds calcula-
ton, Maude Adams in "The Lit
tie Minister" has won the largest
stake for her managers, the profits
OF her play being set down at
$4,000. There are dozen Oh
more of other attractions which
have earned for their managers all
the way from $4,000 to $40, 900
In individual earnings, Jean Dc
Reszke is supposed to have made
most money during the season
He is credited with having re
ceived nearly 1000, for singins

The Graphophone is to the ear what
the Photographic camera is to the eye,

served for future use. You can catch
the story of your jolly friend just as he
told 1T, or the favorite song of some
loved one just as she sang it, and have
II reproduced perfectly at any time and

pie who are now in their graves would be
alive and well to-day if they had needed
the first warnings Of those troubles which
lead to consumption and death.
The hacking cough, splitting of blood,
weak lungs. and all similar troubles of the
organs of breathing, will surely lead to
consumption, if they are not already the
signs of it. Then there are the other indi-
cations of the approach of consumption,
such as night-sweats, emaciation, or vast
ing away of flesh from bad nutrition, which,
If neglected, lead to certain death.
Niuety-eight per cent. of all the cases of
weak lungs, bleeding lungs, lingering and
obstinate coughs, and other bronchial and
throat diseases, which have been treated
with Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry, have been cured by it. Do not wait
nntil your throat trouble becomes serious.
All bronchial and throat troubles are seri-
GUS. The time to take the Golden Medi-
cal Discovery" is right at the start.
Even if your throat trouble has been
neglected until it has been pronounced
pulmonary disease or consumption, do not
hesitate to use the Golden Medical Dis
covery," for thousands of letters from the
sufferers themselves, who are now well,
bear evidence that the Golden Medical
Discovery" will cure, even after good ply
sicians have pronounced the disease pull
monary consumption.
