Learn to Use the Lemon.

Do you know the wonderful value
Of lemon and the great work it can
do for you?
The acid of the lemon acts upon
the liver very directly, and is there
fore the best of medicine for the
chemically or the acutely bilious per-
son. The juice of lemon in a cup of
hot water, without sugar, should be
taken every morning until the skin
and tongue are clear.
But it must be remembered that the
acid Trims the blood and the person
who is poorly nourished must use
lemons sparingly. In fact, the per-
son who does not need lemons will
not even like to think of the sour
ness. Nature speaks very plainly if
we know how to listen.
When raw eggs are to be taken for
strength. a few drops of juice
squeezed on top OF the broken egg
DISCUSSES the slight sulphurous taste
OF the egg, and one can swallow 1t
like an oyster.
Lemon used in buildings, in sauces
and In gelatine desserts is one OF the
most healthful ingredients; and lemon
added to unfermented grape juice
gives 1t the "tang" that it needs.
For the skin. lemon juice has no
equal: it whitens and softens when
properly applied. Slices of lemon in
a bathtub of hot water softens it and
adds to the cleansing property. In
basin of hot water it becomes an ex-
cellent face-wash; and used upon the
finger nails it softens and cleans.
For the teeth it may be used care
fully, as strong acid is not good for
the enamel-a half teaspoonful to
glass of water is enough.
And for cleaning white marble,
brass. and for taking out ink stains
lemon Juice and salt are effective.
All packed inside the yellow cover
Ing lie these benefits for mankind.

that a thing of beauty is a common
peanut plant. growing singly in a six

Kept in a warm room or by the

ed in a pot of loose, mellow loan, and

terminate and grow up into a beauti-

A SUNDAY RIDE.
Result Woe TO the Outfit and Quaint
Verdict From a Jury

shortly after | began the prac-
tice Of law said Colonel lngersou,
II had occasion to make a western
trip and incidentally to look up
some records in the country Offices
of a acertain town.
"When my research was finished
l had some hours Of leisure on my
hands and naturally drifted into the
courtroom, where case was being
tried.
1T was damage suit for a
wrecked buggy and foundered horse.
Ii appeared that the defendant, a
young man Of about twenty-one,
had taken his best girl out riding
on a Sunday afternoon. They came
hone, the girl on horseback, the fell
low leading a disheveled beast con-
siderably the worse for wear.
"The girl was in court, but in a
bad temper, and was the most re-
luctant witness ! ever saw. 1t took
some time to get the facts from the
young man. 1t seemed that, being
a very warm day, the horse wanted
drink, and as there was track
through a stream where the animal
was accustomed TO 90 he took the
bit in his teeth, waded in knee deep
and stopped.
'The checkrein had not been let
down, and the horse couldn't get bis
head free to drink. Not being IA
miliar with such gear, the pair dId
not know what to do. Finally the
youth leaned over the dashboard
and unbuckled the crupper-
THAT didn't work, SO he got out
and, securing a rail that lay by the
roadside. placed one end under the
rear axle and tried TO lift the hind
end Of the buggy SO that the horse
could get his nose to the water.
"The buggy mrched, the horse
was frightened, began to paw and
back, broke and overturned the We
hicle and spilled the girl into the
5 tream. The fellow dropped the rail
leaped into the water and caught the
bundle of muslin and saved her. but
oh, so wet and bedragged,
"The young man and the CIR
blamed the horse, and the jury aftel
mature deiberaton brought in 1
verdict against the plaintiff on th'
ground that a man who would let
turnout to an idiot must expect t
take the consequences"

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
Presidents Children Give . Circus In
the White House Grounds.

The private grounds south of the
White House at Washington were
the scene of circus on recent
afternoon. The performers were
Archie, Quentin and Ethel Roose-
welt and Archie's pony, Algon-
quin. The spectators were the
president, who watched the per
formance through window Of
his private office, and Mrs. Roose-
welt, who occupied a reserved seat.
The only other spectators were the
workmen who were cleaning up
around the grounds and few clerks.
The ring was pitched close TO the
private lawn tennis court, where 1t
was screened from the street by a
high hedge. The performance con-
sisted chiefly Of tumbling and of
bareback riding ON Algonquin.
Archie rode standing up, with the
pony circling the ring at full speed,
and threw in many of the tricks
used by circus riders. He was the
star performer. Quentin was used
as the clown in the tumbling stunts.
The show lasted nearly an hour.

Don't give them currants, crumbs

Don't intrust them TO the care of

Don't leave them out in the yard

Don't wash their faces with soap

One rope is 250 feet long, and was

the gods, to be used in ropes for
