CHEAP DRAPERIES,
Material May Be Obtained for Very
Little, and 1t Can Be Used
in Many Ways.

Denims, burlaps and sateens are
now dyed most beautiful shades, and
are much used for window and door
draperies as we'll as for pillow and
couch covers.
If the desired shade is not to be
found in one material or shop, it
surely may be procured in some 9TH
er; but it is we'll to buy the full guam
tity described at once, as two pieces
seldom come exactly the same shade.
Cherry red, fashionable shade of the
season, gobelin and China blue, dull
greens, soft yellows and golden
browns are only few of the many
fine colors. The price, Is to 20 cents
a yard, brings them within the reach
Of every one.
If the window curtains are lined
with the cream colored sateens, or
even muslin, the effect is not only en-
HANGED, but being thus protected from
the rays of the sun they should last
several seasons.
A narrow fringe is an attractive
addition, and should be sewed on the
bottom far enough from the edge
that both just escape the floor, but
along the sides it should be sewed
directly on the edge Of the curtain.
A pretty pair of portieres seen
lately had a six-inch band at the top,
which was joined to the large part
of the curtain by a lacing of heavy
black silk cable cord. Where the
doorway is high and narrow these
horizontal lines will make them seem
much lower.-Philadelph Press.

CONTROL YOURSELF.
Nothing Ages q Woman So Quickly
and Surely a. Giving Way to
Temper and Worry.

Never give way to fits of i'll temper.
Every sensible woman ought to be
aware that bad temper and worry will
trace more wrinkles in a week than
hot and cold bathing and massage and
complexion brushes and creams and
lotions can remove in years faithful
application.
Physicians assert that an immense
amount of nerve-force is expended in
every fit of bad temper; that when one
little part of the nervous system is in
juriously affected, the face first records
it. The eyes begin to lose the luster
of youth, muscles become fabby, the
skin refuses to contract according ly,
and the inevitable result is wrinkles.
woman's fercest and most insidious
foe.
INDUCING in fit of temper not only
makes a woman old and ugly before
her time, but it actually shortens life.
Moreover, every time she loses control
of her temper she unhinges a moral
brain-cell and weakens by several de-
grees her capacity for self-control.
The oftener she permits herself to
indulge in what she believes to be
righteous indignation, the more fire.
quently she finds such occasions pre-
sentjng themselves, for life is full of
such irritating opportunities.
1t is these frequent bursts of passion
that prevent women from growing old
SO beautifully that they seem to re-
tain their youthful attractions, and,
like tree, become more anna BILE with
age.
\ mouth that from habit has set
itself in an aggrieved or hard line soon
settles in a grim curve that writes
years of age upon woman's face. and
imparts a discontinued and disagree
able expression which repels all de-
sire for intimacy on the part of her
acquaintance.
No matter how beautiful and brainy
and fascinating the bad-tempered
woman may be, or how lengthy her
bank account, her power is infnitesi-
NAL compared with that of her anna bic
sister. And amiability is not only pow
er; it is mental progression, health
happiness and long life to ones self
and to ones friends and family.-N. Y

FATIGUE OF THE EYES.
Precautions That Everyone Should
Take to Preserve. Aid and
Strengthen the Sight.

While it is the duty of everyone to
take the best possible care o. the eyes,
it is not, as is commonly supposed,
dangerous to use them until they are
tired.
Delicate, sensitive and mast valued
of all our organs, too much impor-
lance is sometimes given to the neces-
sity of guarding the eyes from any
symptom of overwork.
It is no more dangerous to tire the
eyes than to tire any other organ Of
the body. It does not hurt the hand
to tire it, and after a brief rest it
is as good as ever. It is the same way
with the eye.
Every precaution should be taken to
preserve and aid the sight. The light
should come from over the left shout
der; artificial light should be steady;
pains or blurring or any symptoms of
blindness should receive proper treat
ment, and when necessary glasses
should be used. These are common
sense measures for the preservation Of
the sight.
But when this is done the worker
need not feel alarm over having to use
the eyes daily, perhaps for long Pc
Rod and until they are very tired.
When the eye for a long time rests
| upon near objects the muscles which
| adjust the eye to vision necessarily
get tired, but if the eyes are rested at
| proper intervals no harm will be DONE
The eye can bear maximum fatigue as
we'll as other parts OF the body.
A sure way of telling when eyes are
overworked is by the fact that their
natural power and freshness fail to
return after a proper amount of rest.
When this is the case-that is, when
they have had time to feel fresh again
and there is still the strained, weary
feeling they are being overworked.-

NEW DYSENTERY CURE.
French Physician Discovers n Valu-
able Remedy In the Seed of an
Oriental Plant.


Great was the rejoicing in medical
circles some years ago when it was
announced that Roger, the well-known
scientist, had at last discovered the
germ of dysentery, for it was sup
posed that thenceforth any person
attacked with this disease would al
most certainly be cured.
In short time, however, this sup
position was found to be erroneous,
and during the past few years the
prevailing opinion has been that the
true germ has not yet been found,
and that, when it is found, it will
prove to be of much the same origin
as the germ which causes malaria.
Among those who have been look
ing for it is DR.. Mougeot, a French
physician, who has made many exper-
iments in the east, and the news now
comes that he has discovered at Sal
gon remedy which has proved to be
most effcacious in cases of dysentery.
This remedy is the seed of a plant
known as Brucea Sumatrana, which
grows abundantly in China, India, the
Sunda islands and in various parts of
tropical America. The popular name
of the tree and fruit is kosu or kosam.
The fruit has a circumference OF
about one centimeter and contains 9
small oleaginous kernel, and it is in
this kernel that DR.. Mougeot found
the long-sought remedy.
He happened to make chemical
examination of kernel and he found
in it a peculiar property, which is
popularity known as kosamin and
which is of a glucose nature. He had
some patients at the time who were
suffering from dysentery, and, know
ing that the intestines were the part
mainly affected by the disease, he
thought it possible that a property of
this nature might produce good re-
suits.
He gave them dose of it.. To his
delight, it worked well-so well that
his patients were soon out of dan
ger. He next experimental with the
kosamin on animals and found that it
rot only exercised an extremely bene-
fetal effect on the gall or bile, but
that it also quickly destroyed all the
live worms and bacteria in the bowels.
