CARE OF MATTRESSES.

The people able to AFFORD it-for the
best are expensive-own good hair
mattresses.
But though almost obsolete the
straw mattress is still found in coun-
try houses, and charming ones, too.
In England chaf1 is much esteemed
and is renewed every year. In the
south corn husks are dried and combed
into sweet-smelling and easy beds.
The French housekeeper, who Is
what Americans and English call not
able, renews the hair mattresses once
a year. 1t is the midsummer work.
Linen cases slipped over 1t are an
additional preserver Of the mattress,
insuring cleanliness by constant wash
ing. They are made as simply as Q
pillow case.
II would take a good many books to
contain the praises Of the travellers
who thought the clean case flied be-
fore their eyes with fresh straw the
supreme luxury.
The best spring mattress il the
open-sommier, which can be kept free
Of dust BY long, slender brush. Boil
sters continue to be made of feathers
always In best style when square
cut
The hair In taken out and carefully
picked and then put into new castings.
OF course, the most economical hair
mattresses are the high-priced ones,
and ] confess / think that the best
substitute is the extreme simplicity Of
the country bed-frequently changed
straw.
While feathers in a mattress are
voted Of the style of the Clarissa nov
Ell, they are retained as beds for the
aged; the very objection urged against
them as repose for the vigorous consti-
tuting their virtue for the feeble-al-
most enveloping the form and giving
the warmth that only in its full power
can the body create for itself.

The Scientific Discovery Of the Agei
The Magic Key to the Mystery Of Life!
From times immemorial It has been
mans predominating ambition to pro-
long Life. But smong the many bril-
liant minds, who have devoted their
lives to the fascinating subject. It
was left for the immortal Darwin to
give TO the world, in his great theory
Of Life, the fundamental principle
upon which to build al further re-
search In this direction. Following
closely in his footsteps came Prof. Dr..
Lndwig Buechner, q German scientist
Of international renown, with his re-
markable work entitled "Das Buch des
Langen Lebens" 1.-THE book On Long
evity). But alas, like Darwin he too
died, ere he could reap the fruit Of his
wonderful doctrine. Others however,
equally great took up the interrupted
thread with the result that two fam
Gus German scientists, after years Of
experiments and research, have at last
discovered the secret Of Longevity, in
the shape Of q remarkable Vegetable
Compound, which, IL properly used,
will positively prolong Life. This
new remedy, appropriately named
'Iongzvita" (meaning Long Life) has
bean subject to the most rigid tests
at all the leading clinics and hospitals
throughout Europe with marvellous
results. Appreeiatfng the Importance
of this discovery, we have acqrired. at
enormous cost, the exclusive proprie-
tary right to this truly wonderful pre-
paration, which has proved blessing
to mankind. "LongaYttA" II the true

London Truth tells this little in
cident: a band of Boer ambulance
men met after one of the recent
engagements in South Africa an
English patrol. The Beers were
thirsty and asked the men of the
patrol to give them little water.
with pleasure, they replied, "if
you will drink it to the health of
the Queen" The Beers, after
consulting together, replied that
they had no objection to drinking
to the health Of the Queen, pro-
yided that they might add to the
toast "and to the destruction of
Cecil Rhodes" as they regarded
the latter as the cause why men
who had no i'll feeling toward each
other were fighting. To this the
patrol willingly asSented, and
joined themselves in the toast thus
eXpOunded.
