For ten of the twelve years of his
life my son suffered from influenza,
which no amount of precaution could
ward off, and which, with or without
doctor, was often weeks in running
its course, at the end of which tine he
was about ready for Il fresh one at
last | became convinced that an overin-
diligence III sweets was one fertile
cause, and many a box of candy--the
gift of unwise friends-was suppressed,
and the colds became less frequent. On
his tenth birthday he began upon ris
ing in the morning series of cold
sponge baths, followed by friction with
coarse towel. That year his colds
were limited to two When the second
began to make its appearance we de-
termined to try heroic measures, and
for thirty-six hours he went without
food, with the exception of cupful of
hot water and the juice of an orange
taken on the morning of the first days
fast. The second morning he awoke
without a vestige of cold, and a hap
pier and more triumphant boy it would
have been hard to find. As many of my
friends and family have tried this with
equal success l do not hesitate to rec
ommend it.-Woman's Home Com

nom to cure q Felon.

A simple cure for fclon is as fol
lows: AS soon as the parts begin to
swell get the tinctule of lobelia and
wrap the part affected with cloth satu-
rated thoroughly with the tincrure, aud
the felon is dead. An old physician
says that he has known it to cure in
scores of cases, and it never fails If
applied in season. A cure for bone fell
on is much the same. As soon as the
disease is felt put directly over the spot
blister of Spanish ny about the size
of the thumb nail and let it remain for
six hours, at fhe expiration of which
time. directly under the surface Of the
blister. may be been the felon, which

BABY Carriages and Indians.

Colonel Bill Sterrett used to tell
about Il man who went into the Indian
Territory to sell baby carriages.
Everybody said he was crazy. It was
admitted that there was fine crop of
babies in the territory. but no one
could see what the squaws. who We're
used to packing their offspring on their
backs. could do with baby carriages.
Still orders began to come back, first
for dozens and then for carloads, and
finally Sterrett went up to investigate.
He went into one of the Indian vii
lagos.
"And I'll be dashed" said Colonel
Bill, IF didn't see dozen big fat In
dams sitting in baby carriages, all
scrouged up, while the squaws were
pushing them around The baby car
riage man had made the Indians be
lieye that baby carriages were the
right kind of pleasure rigs for the no.

Bnrred Ont Immlgrnnts.

Uncle Sam has black list of birds
and quadrupeds which it is absolutely
prohibited to introduce into this coun-
try, says the Chattanooga Times. The
mongoose, the flying fox and the star
ling are on the list The mongoose is a
species of ferret, a native of India,
where it is domesticated as a sort of
animal rat trap and snake destroyer.
1t was introduced into Jamaica to get
rid of the sugar cane rats. These ex-
terminated. however, the mongoose
went on to diet off the insect destroy
ing birds, with the result that the crops
have been devastated by insects in
some sections of the island. The ami
NAL is exceedingly crafty; nocturnal in
its habits and eyades traps with ease.
The flying fox, known also as the fruit
bat, is a voracious harvester of fruits
and vegetables. The startling belongs
to the crow family.

KNOWING FIRE HORSES.
How They Learn to start With the
Jigger and Get the Swing.

JtEgeR and GET the SWING.
The intelligence of fire horses is well
known. A most knowing animal OF
this kind is described by Sewell Ford
in Horses Nine" The author says Of
him:
Other things besides mischief, how
ever, had Silver learned. Chief of these
was to start with the jigger. Sleeping
or waking, lying or standing, the sum
mons that stirred the men from snor-
ing ease to tense, rapid action never
failed to find Silver alert. As the hal
ter shank slipped through the bit ring
that same instant found Silver gath
cred for the rush through the long,
narrow lane leading from his open stall
to the poles, above which, like great
couchant spiders. waited the harnesses
pendent on the hanger rods.
Once under the harness Silver was
like carved statue until the trip strap
had been pulled, the collar fastened
and the reins snapped in. Then he
wanted to poke the poles through the
doors, so eager was he to be off. 1t
was no fault of Silyer's that his team
could not make a two second hitch.
With the first strain at the traces his
impotence died out. A sixty foot truck
starts with more or less reluctance but
when once the tires caught the car
tracks Silver knew what to expect He
and his team mates could feel Lanni-
gan gathering in the reins as though
for full stop. Next came the whistle
of the whip 1t swept across their
tanks so quickly that it was practical
ly one stroke for them ALL At the same
moment Lannigan leaned far forward
and shot out his driving arr The
reins went loose, their heads went for
ward and, as if moving on pivot, the
three leaped as one horse.
Left to themselves, each horse would
have leapcd at different instant 1t
was that one touch of the lash and the
succeeding swing of Lannigan's bulk
which gave them the measure, which
set the time, which made it possible for
less than 1000 pounds of horsefesh to
jump five ton truck up the street at
a four minute clip.

WONDERS OF THE NEEDLE.
Beautiful Work of the Artisans of
Former Centuries,

Beautiful Work of the Artisans of
Former Centuries.
The wonders of the needle were in
ancient Times in Egypt India, Baby
lonia and Ph9nicia mainly lavished
by women on wells and hangings for
temples. Connoisseurs consider the veil
decorating the tomb of Nohammed at
Medina, priced at 100000 rupees,
the most marvellous piece of embroid-
cry ever made. Its pattern, cunning
interlacing of scrolls and arabesques,
exclusively deIineated with rare pearls
and precious stones, produces, when
exposed to the rays of the sum- stu
pendous effect Of coloring, sSft and har-
monious and equal to the bold graceful
ness of the design Linen, silks, leath,
er and the richest stuffs were in turn
tool, the needle.
Diaphanous Indian muslin charming
Iy embroidered with green beetle wings
is still renowned, as we'll as examples
of painted spangles and artificial pearls
strewn amid devices wrought in gold.
But where is now to be found the in
comparable Decca muslin, thirty yards
of which were once inclosed for a tur-
ban in an ordinary cocoanut incrusted
with gems and presented by Persian
ambassador to his master, the shah.
Other varieties known as invisible
have also disappeared. The term orig
mated from the fact that when dipped
in water or spread out on the grass the
material was lost to the eye through
its extreme fneness.
The trained fingers have disappeared,
and through modern competition Gus
toners are no longer willing to pay the
real value of genuine hard work. This
superiority of eastern craftsmen over
their western fellows was recognized
centuries ago, first by Portuguese, who
were in the habit of sending satin to
India to be embroidered by the natives
after European designs, a fashion
which at times renders somewhat puz-
zling the classification of the marvels
of handiwork.
The French followed suit, since the
majority of the Louis XVI. court sets,
including coat, waistcoat and breeches
in satin, velvet, plush or corded silk,
SO exquisitely adorned with delicate
sprays and admirable borders wrought
in satin and tainbour stitches, are due
to the skill and industry of the Chi
nese, who have reproduced the French
devices with floss silk in such lovely
and fast colors, which still appear in
all their beauty, with meIlowness i'm
parted by time, which further adds to !
their charm. Ledger Monthly.

How to prx umnrellas.

To preserve an umbrella so that it
will last long and not look shabby it
should be carefully dried each time it
is carried in the rain. To do this it
should never be stood on the point,
thus permitting the water to trickle
down. spelling the silk and making the
wires rusty. Neither should an UNI
brella be opened to dry, for in this way
the silk is stretched. and later it be-
comes baggy. and it is impossible to
furl it smoothly. The correct way to
dry an umbrella is to shake it well to
get as much water out as possible, and
then stand it OH its handle to drain.

Hoy to Care For nrusnes.

The care of good brushes and by
this is not meant simply those with
costly backs, but first those of good
bristles = is not always understood.
When the brushes are kept in an open
tray. it is good plan to provide lit
tie case made of water color paper to
slip over the bristles of each brush. A
similar one of common wrapping pa
per is useful to cover a silver backed
brush when the metal needs polishing.
