A HAPPY BOY.

Oldenburg, ILL.,, Sept. 2nd:-The
doctors all failed in the case of little
thirteen year old Willie Keil, who
suffered with acute rheumatism.
For over three months, the poor
little fellow suffered excruciating
torture. His father, who had done
everything he could think OF, saw
new Rheumatism Remedy adver-
tised-Dodd's Kidney Pills. He
bought some, and soon his little SON
showed signs of improvement. Three
boxes cured him completely, and he
has not q symptom Of Rheumatism
left.
This miraculous cure of q case
which had been given up by the
physicians, has electrified Madison
County, and Dodd's Kidney Pills are q
much talked Of medicine.

War i. the Wrong Direction.

The farmer has not yet discovered
a way to prevent destruction of his
crops by field mice and insects, yet
devotes his time to destroying his
friends, the owl and hawk. The dam
age to a part of the corn or fruit
by animals and birds is Insignificant
Compared with that by insects. The
mole which ridges the earth does so
Ehile destroying grubs. Quails
,earch for food under every leaf and
destroy thousands of insects; but
they are being exterminated for
sport. They and other birds that
stay with us in the late fall, or. all
winter, feed also on the seeds of
many undesirable plants. The Eng
fish sparrow could be easily kept in
check by the little sparrow hawk and
the screech owl, the. latter preying
upon them at night, the former dur
ing the day, if the farmer would al
low them; but on the approach of
his natural friends he SEXES the shot
gun and puts an end to their useful
ness.-Farm Journal.

New Rival of the Horse.

An attempt is to be made by the
British authorities in Uganda to
utilize the zebra for transport pur-
poses in that country. 1t is contend
ed that the characteristics of tho
animal render it specially suited to
this district, since it is naturally inn
mune against the ravages of the

plan suggested is the domestication
of the adult animal. The young re-

A good farm gate is a joy forever.
The trouble with most farm gates is
that they begin to sag at the outer end
after little use. This causes much.

Now, if the upright at the hinges can
be kept rigidly in place, there is no

Those Round Shoulders.

P%ittsburg Chronicle Telegraph.
STOPPED or round shoulders are fatal TO
any appearance of style in a woman. A
French gown will look dowdy on her, and
the most formal occasion will find her In
elegant and commonplace. This, however.
is a defect so easily cured that M woman
should suffer its affiiction for a single
month after realizing its effect on her
appearance. OF all bodily defects it is the
most easily cured, and it may often be
entirely remedied by a mere exercise Of
will power. Round shoulders are a re
suit of carelessness or habit rather than
real weakness, and as such, may be cured
from within rather than without.
y radical change in the sleeping position
is the first necessary move, and Will often
of itself cure much OF the trouble The
round shouldered woman must learn TO DO
without pillows at night. High pillows
pushing the shoulders crooked and fire.
The old-fashioned rule OF walking in ones
room for an hour each day, balancing q
hook on the head, will do much towards
correcting the infirmity, and keeping ever
in mind that the eyes should look up, not
down, is another powerful help to the ar
row attitude which is the model of grace
and dignity. Swinging the arms so that
the hands touch behind the back for ten
or fifteen minute daily is excellent like
wise, and any exercise which strengthens
the shoulders and back will ultimately
strengthen the muscles so that they as
sumo easily the proper poise.

The Coming shirtwaists.

New York Sun.
The new flannel and silk waists are be-
ginning to show themselves shyly and
promise delectable things for the coming
season.
OF course, the plain shirtwaist, pleated
or tucked and worn with a fetching stock
and girdle will be correct for certain wear,
as it always is; but there are to be other
shirtwaists thai make the humble name
SOUND like profound irony.
Flannel. cloth and the heavier silks. such
as Louisine, peau de sole and liberty satin
will be the popular materials and embroid-
cry Is TO be the trimming par excellence.
Already, waist manufacturers are securing
the country for girls who can do machine
and hand embroidery, and are
offering large wages to embroiderers. OF
waists will show machine embroidery, for
the price of hand embroidery is prohihitive
to the shoppers who cannot afford an ex-
pensive waist, but the wise woman would
rather have a mere note OF hand embrOid-
cry than the most elaborate machine en-
broidery ever devised; and, after all. a
slight motif or embroidery Is not necessarily
very expensive.
The women who are handy with a needle
will do well TO have waists cut and stamped
and 10 embroider the pattern themselves.
or. IL they cannot conveniently have the
waist cut, they can buy the gOov have
straight bands stamped and embroider
them. IhcSe DdnuS can DC useu tor WAIST
bands, front pleat and applied bands when
the waist Is made.
Embroidery Tn black and white will be
popular, witt often a hint OF gold through
the pattern. Embroidery In the Persian or
Oriental colors will also be very chic, and "A
dash OF red will be effective whenever it
can be appropriately used with the body OF
the waist. Geomotrical and Oriental de-
signs. cOnvcntionaiized flower designs and
real flower designs will all be used, and en-
brOidered dots will be as popular on winter
garments IA they have been upon summer
frocks. Surely any girl can embroider dots

brOidcrCd dots may make her fivc-dollar

For wholesomeness use more suet and
less lard in your cooking.
Boiled linseed oil, one-third part tur-
pentine, is excellent for oiling floors.
To make meat and fowls tender put a
spoonful of vinegar into the boiling water.
After handling odorous substances wash
the hands with mustard water. There is
nothing better.
Nutmeg gives a finer flavor than mace
because they grow in the same pod, and
mace is simply the covering of the nut
meg.
Lemon juice will bring out the flavor of
fish better than anything else can. Use
especially on boiled fish and cut thin slices
as a garniSh.
A mixture of whiting and ammonia is
excellent for cleaning bathtubs. 1t should
be rubbed on thoroughly and rinsed off

Linen must be thoroughly dry and well

Why Girls Can't Throw Straight.

Ledger Monthly.
The difference between a girls throwing
and a boys is this: The boy crooks his
elbow, and reaches back with the upper
part of his arm nearly at right angles with
his body, and the forearm about at an
angle of forty-fve degrees.
The direct act of throwing. is accom-
plished by bringing the arm back with a
sort Of snap, working every joint of the
arm from shoulder to wrist. The girl
throws with her whole arm rigid. the boy
with his whole arm relaxed
Why this marked and un~mistakable diff
renee exists may be explained by the fact
that the collar bone in the feminine anat-
omy is some inches longer, and set some
inches lower down, than in the masculine
frame. The long, crooked, awkward bone
interferes with the full and free use of the
arm. This is the reason why a girl cannot
throw a stone: but she is a boys equal in
many field sports.
