Woman Advertising for Companion Is
Offered Competent One.

A Bristol contemporary publishes a
good story which has reached it from
Canada. 1t hangs on an advertise
ment which appeared in an English
paper:
"a lady in delicate health wishes to
meet a useful companion. She must
be domesticated, musical, an early
riser, amiable, Of good appearance,
and have experience in nursing. A
total abstainer preferred. Comfortable
home. No salary"
A few days afterward the advertiser
received by express basket labeled:
"This side up-with care-perishable. ("
On opening 1t she found a tabby cat,
with letter on it's tail. 1t read thus:
"Madam-In response to your adVer-
tisement l am happy to furnish you
with a very useful companion, which
you will find exactly suited to your re-
quirements. She Is domesticated, a
good vocalist, an early riser, possesses
an amiable disposition and is consider
ed handsome. She has great exper-
fence as nurse, having brought up
large family. l need scarcely add
that she is a total abstainer. A salary
is no object to her; she will serve you

If the water freezes 1t follows as "a

makers Of artificial ice produce 1t from
water that is not pure, and they make

Grand View, Iowa, Dec. 29th.-The
most complete satisfaction is express
ed in this district over results obtain
ed recently by using Dodds Kidney
Pills for those complaints resulting
from diseased Kidneys. This satisfac-

example:

A new and important use for refined
parafined wax seems to have been
discovered by man living near Ian.
castor, Ohio. He had two trees which
were badly damaged by storm, one be.
ing a maple and the other an apple
tree. In each case large limb was
broken down from the trunk, but still
attached to 1t. The limbs were propped
up and fastened securely with straps,
very much like broken leg might be
fastened with splints, and then melted
refined wax was poured into and over
all the cracks. The Surgical opera
tion,, was entirely successful. The
paraffine prevented the escape of the
sap, kept out the moisture which
would have rotted the trees, and pre-
vented the depredations of insects.
