THE PRESIDENTS WIFE.
nIrs. Mckinley VIII Do Her Full
Share in Entertaining Soci-
ety This Winter.

The latest picture OF Mrs. Mckinley
shows her looking remarkably well;
the picture is very pretty one OF
profile with the eyes looking serenely
ahead. That is one of the charms Of
Mrs. McKinley's face - its perfect
serenity-and a person gazing on this
face can easily believe that the presi-
dents home has been u "haven Of
peace"
Mrs. McKinley's invalidism, which
her friends say is now much improved,
got her in the habit of wearing her hair
short; then she discovered that short.
wavy hair was becoming to her. Now
she wears it done in such a way that
one can scarcely tell whether it is long
or short.
Mrs. Mckinley is very tasteful wom-
an in dress. She wears soft effects
around her neck, and is said to be OPP
posed to the tailor-made style of dress
ing, as too severe and unfeminine.

THE CHARM OF MUSIC,
Its Effects Were Very Agreeable 10
the Fellow Who Was Catch
ing Fish.

A fisherman once took his cornet to the
lake with him, in hopes that his harmonious
notes would have hypnotic influence in
attracting the fish to his hook
As soon as he had set his lines he raised
the cornet to his lips, and soon made the
welkin ring with some of the latest popular
airs, but without the expected result OF gain
ing bites.
perhaps 1 don't play loud enough" he
thought. So he blew his cornet louder, but
still no nibble.
"Confound it," he exclaimed. "Where
are all the suckers today"
At that moment he glanced to the oppo.
site extremity of the lake, where he saw an
other angler pulling in fish hand over hand
who, seeing he was observed by the cornet-
list, shouted: Bravo Encore"
81 am glad that somebody appreciates my
music" thought the man with the cornet
So, again raising the instrument, he accom-
modated the luckier fisherman with another
effort.
Again Again." shouted the second fish.

all the fish over at this end of the lake" -

TO AVOID COUGHING.
Draw n Deep, Long Breath and Hold
1t Until Ii SOothes Every
Air Cell.

A physician who is connected with an
institution in which there are many
children, says: There is nothing more
irritable to a cough than coughing.
For some time l had been so fully as
sured of this that | determined for one
minute at least to lessen the number
of coughs heard in a certain ward in 4
hospital of the institution. BY the
promise of rewards and punishments
] succeeded in inducing them simply
to hold their breath when tempted to
cough, and in a little while | was my
self surprised to see how some of the
children entirely recovered from the
disease. Constant coughing is precise
ly like scratching a wound on the out
side of the body; so long as it is done,
the wound will not heal. Let a per-
son when tempted to cough draw
long breath and hold it until it warns
and soothes every air cell, and some
benefit will soon be received from this
process. The nitrogen which is thus
confined acts as an anodyne to the mu-
cous membrane, allaying the desire
to cough, and giving the throat and
lungs a chance to heal. l."-Scientitic

PREVENTABLE ILLNESS.
Lack of Pure Air In Winter is the
Most Prolific Source of Poor
Health and Suffering.

1t is amazing how much sickness il
preventable. How much misery, dis
comfort and ill-health the housewife is
often directly responsible for, and yet
how often she is entirely unconscious
of her responsibility and her failure.
Many a person who is called a neat
housellceper has no idea of anything
beyond polishing "thc outside of the
front door"
One mother whom l know prides her
self on having her rooms all in order
very early in the morning. She is too
intent upon this to air the children's
beds properly and makes them up while
they are still warm from the previous
night.
For economic reasons she does not
air the rooms thoroughly in cold
weather, as it takes so much more fire
TO heat them again. The consequence
IS her children are almost always all
ing.
She SAYS of them herself, they get
everything that is going
They are accustomed to inhale so
much poison from the vitiated atmos-
phere of their own rooms that the least
chilling of their bodies or excess in
eating throws them in a state of fever.
This mother is a very religious wom-
an and prays every day for the health
and happiness of her offspring, and yet
they are never well, and so of course
cannot be happy.
The lady of whom l am writing keeps
cne servant, whom she leaves to her own
devices as long as things look neat. The
lady herself never descends below the
kitchen to see what is going on in the
cellar. About once or tNrice a year,
however, the neighbors are treated to
very suggestive sight. 1t is the an
nual or Gcmi-annual cleaning.
No housewife does her whole duty
who does not look into her own cellar
and insist upon its being thoroughly
cleaned at least once a week. Care
should also be taken to allow pure,
fresh air to constantly enter the cell
lar. 1t is te" er from the cellar which
ditfuseS :Tseit throughout the whole
houss How important, then, that the
cellar should be clean.
Some foolish people have prejudice
against opening their windows at night,
thinking that night air Is bad for the
child. The night ar IS all we have to
breathe at night, and the less stagnant
! it is the better for all concerned.
\ lady who boards and has time to
| look after her neighbOrs little told me
that opposite her residence there ~ere
only about half a dozen of the sleepsng
rooms where the windows were ever
open at night during cold weather.
Everybody must know that smallpox,
measles and other eruptive diseases
spread more readily and universally in
winter than in summer. The reason is
| this: The poison is allowed to concen-
trate. 1t is comparatively undiluted
with the atmosphere.-N. Y. Ledger

HIS FUTURE WIFE'S NAME.
The Curious Young Man Had 1t Told

He was chatty kind of coniurer, and
was anxious to open the evening entertain
ment merrily. SO he stepped forward to the
front of the stage and said:
Ladies and gentlemen, if there is in this
audience any young man who would like to
know the name of his future wife, if that
young man will kindly stand up l will un-
dertale to tell him, and this is no guessing

st. Paul Mimi. Feb. 24th, 1898.

Our little boy was afflicted with hip dis
ease, or bone ulcer when he was about
three years old. He suffered severely for
a year and nine months. We had seven
different doctors for him, but they could
not cure him. They took out one piece OF
bone about 81 inches long, the shape of
shoe, and one smaller piece. The hole in
his hip was about 8! inches deep, and the
sore kept running all the time. The doe
tors ordered us to keep the hole filed with
cotton, saturated with some kind Of medi-
cine This we did, and used probe TO in
sert the cotton. We could introduce the
probe about 81 inches and found by NOV
ing the probe about that there was a large
cavity next to the bone, and we could feel
the bone with the probe. The child was
very pale, thin and weak and could not
sleep, and we had no hope of his recovery.
The treatment we gave him under the doc
tors directions did him no good. We final
ly commenced using Aliens Ulcerine Salve
and it soundly and permanently cured him
in about six months. He has been well
about four years and is strong and quite
fleshy, but lmps a little on account of one
leg being little shorter than the other
He is a picture of health, and runs, scuffles

ing had been the matter with him. We be-

Mrs. Mckinley is one of the many
women now prominently before the
public as the wives of statesmen who
were not poor in their youth; she never
knew the struggles of the washtub and
the frying pan. Her father was bank
er, and though this does not mean
great deal in a small place, IT meant
comfort for her. She entered mercan-
tile life as his assistant, and took
great interest in the work, Lot from
necessity, but from pleasure. She re
ceived a fine education at one of the
seminaries for young ladies in Ohio,
and remained there until she was well
fitted for a teacher.
Her friends have been carefully
chosen and the most of these have been
professionals. for she is very fond of
artists and musical composers. Though
reports say to the contrary. Mrs. Me
Kinley is distinctively society woman,
and she goes out whenever her health
allows her and sometimes when it does
not She is clever conyersatIonalist
and is well known for her Tepartee.

ton which always belongs to the wife
of the vice president-Washington will
be largely entertained this winter by
homes of wealth and of tho roo NrS
Mckinley will do her full share.
