A STRING OF DoN'TS |.
Some of Which May Be Helpful If Re- membered and Put Into
 Daily Practice.

Don't eat candy in the theater if it necessitates rattling paper during the performance. Besides it is bad form to eat in public.
 Don't let your dress drag when walk ing down stairs unless you want to add materially to your collection of mi crobes-to say nothing of the dust.
 Don't worry because there are half dozen frecllles on your nose. No one will notice them if you don't call at tention to them. Besides. they have probably been there all winter.
 Don't order more than you can eat simply because some one is looking at you. Independence is more to be ad- mired than extravaganza.
 Don't wait for inspiration to say something graceful when you walk ur to congratulate the bride. lmpromptu speeches are always more successful when they are prepared beforehand.
 Don't scowl at the conductor if he fails to let you off at the right corner. A swectly resigned look will draw the sympathy of the passengers and an ath- letic apology from the pasteboard col lector-but if you look cross and ugly they'll smile and think it a good joke on you.-Detroit Free Press.

To be bound hand and foot for years by the chains of disease is the worst form of slavery. George D. Williams, of Manchester, Mich, tells how such a slave was made free. He says: "My wife has been so helpless for five years that she could not turn over in bed alone. After using two bottles of Electric Bitters, she is wonderfully improved and ale to do her own work" This supreme remedy for female diseases quickly cures ner- vousness, sleeplessness, melancholy, headacae, backache, fainting and dizzy spells. This miracle working medicine is godsend to weak, sickly, run down people. Every bottle guar anteed. Only 50 cents. Sold by F J. Wattron, Druggist,

 Frances retired, and after the lapse of few minutes reentered the parlor.
 Did you hear me come downstairs this time, mamma?'
 No. dear. am glad you came down quietly. Now don't let me have to tell you again not to come down noisily, for l see that you can come quietly if yon will. Now tell the ladies how you managed to come down like lady the second time, while the first time you made so much noise."

 EDITOR ARGUs,-I find in the last number I received that the .AEGUs has got a new master of whom 1 know nothing, but as he professes to be a good Republican will accept of the change aud allow him to fight our battles in the hope, however, that he will say nothing about the Demo crats, because many of their ideas are poor and simple enough already, and Lesides have once been Democrat. When first came to America 1 was informed that democracy was the true benefactor of the people, and believ- ing at that time no American would tell |" fib," entered their ranks, but soon learning true political gospel, joined the ranks of those who were the true lovers of America-thOse who had the interests of home indus try, products, and Improvements at heart. American wool. cloth. manu
 factures and produce are qn''e z od enough for me and my family.
 If the Democrats want all their
 cloth made in England, their toys In
 Germany and their canned fish from
 Norway, provided they will all move
 into one part of the country, then no
 one will object. In addition they can
 have cheap labor. A servant girl in
 this country gets S2 % per month, a laborer p cents day, good mechan- ics one whole dollar per diem. So it , is no wonder they can manufacture cheap goods. and with no duty ex- port goods enough to stop every ? factory in America, and make good ) profits too. To allow these cheap labor manufactures to come in free , of duty looks to me as ridiculous as r the idea of having the government n pay Sl ,OO for every 59 cents worth q silver just for the sake of making a n few mineowners rich.
 n It is a very deplorable matter tc O think that so many good and other
 wise useful men can be blinded IL J. regard to economy, and 1 am sorry @ to see that many of my best friend: l. are Democrats, and 1 can also ack o nowledge that many Democratic s principals are good. l would like tC l. have all that is good in both partie
