A woMAN's HEART.

Mrs. Samuel G. Dyer Tells "A Harrow
ing Tale of Suffering.
M'Carron, Mich, April S.-(Special.)
Mrs. Samuel G. Dyer of this place
has given the following interesting let
ter for publication:
For years / suffered intense pain in
the region of the heart. I doctored
with the best physiciansV Some Of
them would relieve me for a. short
time, but the pain always returned.
NV heart was so bad that I would have
to sit up in bed for hours to get relief.
I would lie awake almost all night. Il
I'M 81 years of age, and no one can un-
derstand how much I suffered with
this Heart Trouble.
about a year ago I heard of Dodd's
Kidney Pills and commenced to use
them. From the first nay condition
improved. The pain In my heart grad
ualIy grew less, and my general health
much better, and now I can say POSI-
lively that I am entirely cured. I can
sleep all night, n enjoy almost per-
feet health. / thank God for the cure
that has come to me through the use
of Dodd's Kidney Pills.
"I have thought long over the mat
ter OF Giving this letter for publication,
and am doing so now without n So
licftation whatever, and simply be-
cause I feel 1t my duty to express the
profound gratitude I feel for my re-
covery, and to let others, who may be
suffering az I was, know how they
NAV find a cure. I know that nothing
else but Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me,
because 1 have taken no other medi-
cine for over a year. I feel better now
than I have for many years. and 1t Is
all due to the use of Dodd's Kidney
Pills"
Mrs. Dyer's cas- and its cure has at
tracted a great Zeal of attention, and
her letter is a splendid tribute to the
curative properties Of Dodd's Kidney
Pills.

This egg tastes as if 1t had been

pated young woman with the short
hair. II can always tell in a minute If
an egg has been cooked in that way"
Her companion had no learned quite
so many things, and was quite satisfied
with her egg. She only murmured,
softly:

continued, land 1 am delighted to IL
Illuminate you, even at the risk of
arousing more or less sarcasm. An egg
to be boiled properly for human con-
sumption should be put into cold wa
ter and then placed over the fire. Then
1t cooks with the water. The egg cooks,
moreover, thoroughly and from the in
side.
ASK a physician or a trained nurse
how to boil an egg so that it's greatest
nutriment and flavor shall be pre-
served. Either Of them will tell you
to put it in cold water. The old way of
dropping an egg into boiling water has
long been given up. 1t used to cook
the egg suddenly and destroy it's fla

The slickest confidence man that
aver perambulated down the pike was
in Memphis last week and did
some smooth business of the bunko
variety, according to Patrolman Pat
Koran, that makes the clumsy Mem
phis method pale into insignifcance,
says the Memphis Commercial Appeal.
Officer Horan refuses to give names,
but he says that the victim in the case
was a king bee Memphis con man who
thinks he is more than two or three"
and who happened to be out looking
for hayseeds. The con man dropped
into a certain hotel in Memphis to lay
for a fish," and he had gotten him
self up to pass for a commercial trav-
eler. He was oon spotted by the
slick one" who seemed to have a lofty
scorn for the innocent "Rubes' and
loved to make monkeys out of the
swell-head frauds who think they
know it all. Not long after the "slick"
one spotted the Memphis shark a hay
seed RUDE of the most harmless look
ing type came into the hotel lobby and
glared through his spectacles at the
men sitting around. Failing to see the
face he was looking for the old RUDE
stood a moment in the center OF the
floor and then walked over to the
clerks desk. He took a long range
chance at the cuspidor and missed,
and then, addressing the clerk, asked:
Has Bill Smith been here looking for
me?" The clerk looked up, and, sec
ing a chance for some fun, began to
humor the old man. The Memphis
shark grew interested and drew near.
Soon the whole hotel knew the old
mans story. Bill Smith was a strang-
er he had met in the morning who had
borrowed $50 from him to pay a
freight bill, promising to meet RUDE
at the hotel and pay it back. RUDE
was certain he would be in soon, be-
cause it was now past the appointed
time. The old mans apparent limo
cence amused the crowd and he was
advised to go on and forget Bill Smith
as he would never see Bill any more.

a Mlssourian PFonounces on the Farm

is being aroused in the fact that a few

delegate there during last summer, and
writing of his impressions he says:

TWO OLD CARPETS SOLD FOR $500
When a carpet gets to be a half CEN
fury or more old, you usually expect
to be able to pick it up for a song
perhaps a song of a few sixpences-in
some secondhand shop; but sometimes
you will find yourself mistaken, which
would have been the case had you been
at a recent secondhand carpet sale IN
Lisbon.
Two carpets sold there were four
centuries old, and yet there were not
bought for rags. They were carpets
presented by the Infanta Donna Sancha
to the royal convent Of st. Antonio IN
1900, and were put up at auction to
raise money with which to repair the
convent.
French and German bidders were the
most anxious, and the carpets were
started at $4,000. A Frenchman final
ly got them for $500, and was con-
graduated on his bargain.

HOW TO KEEP HOUSE.

No one would expect to establish a
successful business without conducting
1t upon a systematic basis. Espe-
cially would this be important in a
business requiring employees; then
should method be employed in even
the least important parts.
Many fail to recognize housekeeping
as a business that must be conducted
with the same precision as a business
of a different nature, in order for it
to run smoothly and successfully. To
employ method in housekeeping is an
exception and not the rule; the differ
ent kinds of work are oftentimes per-
formed whenever the i%nclinations seem
to dictate. the greatest part of the
work OF the entire week being allowed
to remain undone until, perhaps only
two days remain in which to do the
work Of six, and, In consequence, the
strength is overtaxed in doing that
which might have been done with no
injury to the worker had it been done
systematically. System cannot be
eliminated from the housekeeping of
those who are dependent upon but n
servant to do the general homework;
and the housewife must herself do the
systematizing, as few servants are
capable of doing it wisely.
Use a Note Book.
Sit down with pen and paper, and,
under the head of usual everyday
work, write down in the order in
which it could be performed most con-
g~eniently and with dispatch, the work

An inventive turn of mind some
times leads it's possessor into peculiar
difficulties. A Boston daily paper tells
of a man who devised a o~ne-piece rub
ber-lined cotton undergarment, which
was intended to be soft and warm n
at the same time waterproof. He ex-
pected to make a fortune by the a

new garment and it became warm, the

the aid of a pair of scissors and a
scraping knife. Something similar, al

barn. 1t was dark, and he felt his
way up the ladder into the loft. While
walking around there he stepped into
an open shaft and down he went to
the floor below. That was not the
worst of it. There was a vat of sor-
ghum mo1asses directly beneath the
shaft, and the tramp went in up to his
neck. He crawled out and tried to
scrape off the mess with hay and
straw, but when he emerged next
morning he was such a sight that the
dogs were afraid Of him. In the end
he was forced to surrender himself to
the police, so that he might get q

is no more disagreeable to call in COM
mittee upon a householder and ask
him to plant trees in front of his
house than to solicit him to buy tickets
to a church festival, and it may occur
to him that the trees in the end will
be of more value to him than the tick
cts. While ordinances which provide
for the planting Of trees, removal of
fences and suppression of dogs can ac-
complish more and do it in a better
way than voluntary organizations,
moral suasion is a good starter for
building up public sentiment so that
the ordinance will be demanded.
