HORSE KNEW THE PATRONS.
when the Milkmnn Was Disabled, His
Faithful Siecd Attended to
DusincHS.

THE dairyman's horse learns a few
things AS he goes on bis daily round"
said a man who lives up town, re-
ports the New Orleans Times Demo-
crat, land had occasion to observe
this fact recently. II came about
IN a very pathetic way. For many
years have been patronizing one
milkman, and for the past several
years he has been driving an old
frame OF horse. The animal waa
not very fast, but he was faithful
One day not long ego the old milk
man was suddenly stricken with par
elysis while making his round, or
Just as he had completed it. At any
rate, he was in his wagon and was
so violently afflicted that he could not
move, could not do anything for him
self.
The horse seemed to understand
the situation, so he pulled the wagon
home with his master in 81. | did
not know about this until several
days after 1t happened. l missed my
milkman for several days, and did not
understand why 1t was. | thought
probably the old fellow was sick, or
that something had happened to him.
In a few days strange milkman
stopped in front of my house. lie
came in and asked If the old man
calling his name-had been delivering
milk at my place. I told him that
he had, and inquired what was the
matter with the old fellow. Then he
told me the old dairyman had been
stricken with paralysis, and was in
a desperate condition.
1--WE have a number of customers,
he said, half alphabetically, having
YOUR name, and was not certain about
your place. But, you see, this old
horse here has been our main reli-
ance. He knows the route pretty
we'll, and when he stopped in front
of your house l thought you must
be one of the old mans customers,
too. That old horse is not very good
looking, but he has head full of
sense and the new milkman walked
away with a show of much pride.
Horses are close observers, and learn
rapidly sometimes"

strong sOapsuds CT saieratus water.
OF course, after Inflammation begins
to show itself, some remedies must be
applied which will check and control
the eruption and swelling.
The common household remedy Is
witch hazel, which can be procured at
any druggists, In small bottles. This
is very good for ordinary cases, but it
has a tendency to relieve the Itching
and smarting sensation more than to
check the speed and growth of the
Inflammation.
Probably one of the best things is to
procure some common black wash at
a drug store and use it as 4 lotion twice
day for half an hour at time. Be
tween these times keep the poisoned
surface covered with cold wafer dress
ings or ointments Of some soft nature.
Another good remedy is teaspoon
full of sugar of lead in pint Of water,
applied as a wash several times day.
Common plantain leaves, bruised and
applied as a poultice, will be found
very cooling and beneficial, and are
sometimes used instead of all other
remedies.
Sumach poisoning may be treated In
the same way as ivy poisoning and 1t is
we'll to state, for the comfort Of those
afflicted, that neither one of these
poisons is dangerous. 1t requires three
or four weeks for the attacks to run
their full course, and then the pois-
oned parts begin to heal up Of them
selves. Remedies can simply alleviate
the pain and sometimes partly check
the inflammation, but they never en-
tirely prevent and cure the poison at
once.
The eruptions seldom show them
selves until day or two after contact
with the poisons, and after that there
Is no danger from coming in contact
with another person.
Although the poisoning sometimes
assumes the appearance of \ very Sc
rious case, the result is never perma-
nent. No scars or disfgurements ever
mark the skin or flesh after the poison
has disappeared. The poison is an acid,
which exists in all parts Of the plants,
but especially in the leaves.

PRETTY BEDSPREADS.
How to Mako an Artistic COverlet

Small Expense.

For the busy housewife who has
taste but no time for embroidery yet
who likes to have pretty bedspreads.
toilet covers, screens. ETC., m her bed
rooms, here are few suggestion that
NAV prove useful, says the New YORK
Tribune: To make an extremely pref
tv bedspread, with very little work.
take a new linen sheet, and with din
ner plate and small dessert plate or
saucer make intersected circles with
a hard lead pencil at regular intervals
over the spread. When this In done the
foundation lines are made for a pretty
design of wrsaths on which it is easy
to draw flowers or leaves. One wreath
of wild roses and the other Of daisies
has a good effect, The smaller circle
of green leaves and the larger OF any
simple flower form is another idea.
When the flowers have been skstched,
stain them the color desired with a
fast dye. There are number OF dyes
that will stand careful washing, violet
ink. for instance, or red ink. which
makes a pretty pink. Information
about others can be obtained from a
chemist. After the designs have been
stained, outline them with single
zephyr worsted, which washes admir-
ably. Wash silk is pretty and dainty,
but It is not so effective and takes more
time. The easiest outline stitch IS to
sew around the design with simple
running" and then going over it again
catch each stitch in over and over fash
ion; this gives a rope effect which
looks we'll. A bureau cover to match
the spread, madein the same way, with
smaller circles, would be decorative.
and panels for q screen look effective

HIS TRAVELLING BATHTUB.

Modest Man That HAD a

IA few weeks ago." said a modest
man. according TO the New York Sum-

friend who Is very rich. We had no
more than exchanged greetings than
he began to show ME the wonders oil

THE architect and the electricians
must have sat up nights to think OF all
the novel conveniences. The fo"d
came TO the dining-room on what
might be described as silver hatcars'
which ran noiselessly over an electric
railway from the buffers pantry. The
head OF the house could change the
temperature Of a room by pressing
button. The electric lights were
marvels.
presently we went upstairs In an
electric elevator that looked like a
room. In my friends room he showed
me his system of buttons for lights,
servants bells and all that. and then
he came 10 what he considered his
greatest misunderstanding that

the tub with water at the proper heat.

DICTATES OF FASHION.
FancifuI Fabrics and Picturesque
Effects VIII he I'm Vogue
for summer.

Nearly all of the black lace and net
gowns for evening wear this season
are made up over white, reports the
Chicago Daily News.
Lace wraps of all kinds are con-
sidered smart. and even old lace
shawls are being brought out again
to be worn.
In picture hats nothing is more
striking than the highwayman shape
strapped across the ribbon and fin
ished with handsome feathers at the
side.
White coats are in all lengths and
in many styles and materials, but are
invariably loose unless they belong
to a suit, in which case they may be
made in any way that pleases the
fancy.
There are genuine stole effects in
lace for woman's summer wear, made
after the order of the narrow fur
stoles worn in winter. The stOles are
double, with the lace on both sides
and are reversible.
Plum color has come to the fore
again. 1t combines well with pale
blue, and when used on hats forms
a good background for pansies. One
model of plum colored rice straw is
almost covered with small pansies in
different shades.
There is no doubt that ethereal fab
RIGS are rendered exceedingly smart
and more durable by mixing them
with a coarse make Of lace. If posi-
BILE, have your cape, collar, fchu or
what YOU will Of lace arranged so
that it can do duty for more than
one frock. The deep cavalier cuffs
are charming and can be moved from
one gown to another.
There is a growing craze for o.
preys. which have quite put paradise
plumes In the shade for the time be-
ing. The brush osprey stands up
straight from the front or the side
of the hat and looks more original
than pretty. The Spanish hat shape
will survive the season. Light brown
tulle hats with ostrich feathers are
very elegant; they may be enlivened
with a touch Of turquoise blue, al
mond green or primrose yellow.
There Is a variety in the shape OF
the low waist intended for evening
wear. The square neck Is not so fash
ionable now as the round, with the
gown cut we'll off the shoulders and
so perfectly fitting that 1t does hot
need, except for appearance sake a
strap of embroidery, lace or Jewels
that holds 1t over the shoulders. Be
low the top Of the arm the real
sleeve begins and has rather large
bow of chiffon or net caught with q
ieweled ornament or a band OF lace
from which hang plaitings of chiffon
or net ornamented with medallions OF
lace, or whether trimming Is used on
the gown itself.

SORROW AND SUSPICION.
tsrief of the Mourner and the Differ
ing Views of People Re-
garding IL.

THANK you'll" said the shabby little
woman, TREMENDOUSLY, as she received
back her old bonnet with knot of
black ribbon replacing its antique red
flower. Its real kind of you, Mis-
Aylwin; real kind! Isuppose I'd ought
TO have thought of it myself, but l
didn't; that's all. There wasn't any
room IN my mind for clothes, somehow.
Sister Ellen and l never cared much
for outward marks of mourning, any
way. Ellen used to say she'd plenty OF
pity for folks that were bearing grief,
but they weren't always the same folks
that were wearing it, But l don't feel
like Haunting gay colors, the Lord
knows; and l don't want to show any
disrespect-" she choked, and then
added; 81 suppose folks have been say
ing I'm heartless, but I just forgot.
I've been missing Ellen sol"
Yet there had indeed been some reck-
less tongues to call heartless her
piteous forgetfulness. Tongues Of the
same kind dropped gall in the sympa-
thy they expressed for another be-
reaved woman.
Poor thing! I'm sorry for her.
But did you know she attended the
sewing-circle three days after the
funeral? OF course she must have
been fond Of her daughter-but it was
certainly strange"
1t was strange, as it Is strange that
man MORALLY hurt sometimes keeps
on with his task Of the moment, me-
chanically, till he drops. Under the
shock of great wound Of the spirit.
the poor mother. half-stunned, had
gone, unthinking and uncaring, with
her round of life in its usual order, of
which the weekly sewing circle was a
part.
The grief Of the mourner, when it is
accepted as genuine, draws genuine
sympathy from all but a scant few of
the worst of US. But there are many,
neither best, nor worst, nor even bad,
who allow themselves to suspect a
grief not borne as they would bear It.
II person observes prescribed eti-
quette infinitely in dress and de-
meanor, there are those to whisper "af
fectation" or "exaggeration; II one

DEGREES, the needed relief Of company
or music, there are others to breathe

that impulSive but often most loving
nature which is all ups and downs and
sudden transitions is seen for a mo-
ment chatting and laughing after re-
cent affection. some accusing voice will
murmur shallow" or frivolous"
1t is the fnct that despite the rules
and conventions which hedge the
period of mourning, people remain as
different IN sorrow as we freely admit
them TO be In Joy. No truly sweet and
helpful sympathy will be soured or
withdrawn because Of such differences.
That Is poor kind of pity whose soul
mate Is suspicion.

Paine's Celery
Compound
Cures
DYSPEPSIA, INDIGESTION,
AND STOMACH TROUBLES.

The tortures and evils Of dyspepsia and
indigestion are experienced by thousands at
this time. The dyspeptic's train OF evils
NAV be enumerated as follows: feelings OF
dizziness, languor, nervousness, sleeplessness,
headache, distension of the stomach, loss OF
flesh, difficult breathing, and the action of the
heart is seriously affected.
All forms of dyspepsia are quickly banished
by the use of Paine's Celery Compound.
The use of this marvellous medicine allays the
inflammation of the nerves centred about the
stomach; it opens up the sewers of the body
and removes all waste matter; it cleanses the
blood; it makes new nerve fibre; it restores
digestive power, and promotes bodily strength
and activity. Mr.. Fred. Ross, Clarendon,
Iowa, briefly writes about his happy expert
ence with Painc's Celery Compound as
follows:-
at gives me great pleasure to testify to the
merits of Paine's Celery Compound. can
candidly and honestly say it is the best medi-
cine in the world. Two years ago was suf-
fering from indigestion and nervousness, and
was so run down that l could hardly walk
without help. l used two bottles of Paine's
Celery Compound and got better almost from
the first dose, and have had no use for medi-
cine since. was completely cured"

With the advent of summer and its
accompanying outdoor recreations,
there will be the usual number of UNI
fortunate persons who will, from care

ivy and sumach and become poisoned.
1t is well iiEown that some persons are
