ership at Chicago.

Gently ousted as federal appraiser at
the port Of Chicago, dropped dead in
Chicago. Heart disease is supposed
to have been the cause.
The removal Of General Thomas
from Office a few weeks ago was one
of the most picturesque incidents ever
known in politics in that city. Seated
under the folds of a United States flag,
General Thomas remained at his desk,
refusing to give way until dispOssess-
ed by the actual arrival OF his success
sor.
The reason assigned for the removal
was the desirabiity Of securing more
vigorous administration Of the office,
)ut General Thomas maintained that
he motive for the change was purely
political and that the affairs of the
appraisers Office we're being handled
With an efficiency above the average.
The death of General Thomas was
VS. dramatic as his removal. He had
served in the civil war, but had never
made an application for a pension
While in receipt of other income, and
after Intellectual efforts to secure 9th
IT work. he was in a lawyers office
repairing a pension application. II
vas while thus engaged that General
Thomas fell dead. He was 20 years
IF age.
Deceased was adjutant general un

Short SUGGESTIONS.

A paint brush makes good swab
for greasing cake tins. OF course the
butter applied must be melted.
To clean raisins and currants roll in
flour and then pick off all large stalks.
If currants are washed they must be
dried before being added to cakes.
Do not use bath brick or other grit
ty substance for cleaning taps, for it
will get into the joints and cause need
less wear and expense. A good polish
ing with oil alone will have excellent
effect and can do no damage.
Water, bread and butter dn tiny
balls) should be at hand for replenish-
ing at a formal dinner quite as much
as when the family are alone. and an
adept waitress will see that they are
served without being asked.
Curtain rods may be passed through
the casing of curtain far more easily
and with less risk of damage to the
muslin or lace if the finger of an old
kid glove is slipped over the end of the
rod which enters the casing first.

the lace remain for an hour or two.
Then gently squeeze between the

pull into shape. 1t will dry almost
Immediately.
Lovers of cats should not forget to
provide their pets with a little green
food in winter. Lettuce leaves chopped
in their food, or even celery tops, are
rellshed by cats. 1t is a good plan also
to keep a lot OF grass or oats growing
in the house for them to nibble at

For Growing Girls.

West Pembroke, Me-, March 21.-
Mrs. A. L. Smith, of this place. says
that Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best
remedy for growing girls. Mrs. Smith
emphasizes her recommendation by the
following experience:
"My daughter was thirteen years old
last November and it is now two years
since she was first taken with Crazy
Spells that would last a week and would
then pass off. In a month she would
have the spells again. At these times
she would eat very little and was very
yellow even the whites of her eyes
would be yellow.
'The doctors gave US no encourage
ment, they all said they could not help
her. After taking one box of Dodd's
Kidney Pills, she has not had one bad
spell. Of course, we continued the
treatment until she had used in all
about dozen boxes, and we still give
them to her occasionally, when she is
not feeling we'll. Dodd's Kidney Pills
are certainly the best medicine for
growing girls"
Mothers should heed the advice OF
Mrs. Smith for by so doing, they may
save their daughters much pain and
sickness and insure a healthy happy
future for them
