An excellent cure for sore throat is
to eat baked orange just before re-
firing for the night.
Few people, except trained nurses,
know that restless patient is made
much more comfortable if the corners
Of the under sheet are carefully
pinned to the under side of the mat
tress with safety pins. Draw the
sheet tight and pin it securely. 1t will
be a relief to you and the suffering
patient.
Sufferers from rheumatism should
dress entirely in wooden clothing, and
dust the inside of their clothing with
-four of sulphur. They should abstain
from taking beer, acids, sweets, sugar,
or pastry, but shn,,ld~ faka~nlaiatv of
milk, celery stewed in milk, or pre-
pared in other ways, and onions. They
should rub the joints night and morn
ing with q brine Of salt, rubbing it in
until the skin is dry. Turkish baths
do much good to rheumatic persons,
but, being severe remedy, should
never be tried without first consulting
q medical man, Or the result may be
MOST injurious.
It is not generally known that cas-
tor Oil may be most easily taken min
gled with orange juice, little sugar
being added If the juice Of the orange
is not sweet. The difference between
this and any other mode of taking this
valuable medicine is surprising. Into
a very thin glass a portion Of juice
should be squeezed; then the oil
should be poured upon this and more
juice should be squeezed upon the OIL
which may be seen to float in layer
between the two layers of orange
juice. If the edge Of the glass Is
rubbed with orange, the fruit will be
the only thing tasted as the dose slides
down the throat.

Happy is the woman who has an
innate sense of harmony, who knows
not only one tint from another, but
knows what colors will blend and
what colors will quarrel. Happy the
woman who does not spend her
strength and her money trying to have
an attractive home or pleasing ward
robe and all to no purpose. Ihe
woman who has an eye for color can
work the happiest effects and often
with very small means. Her home Is
restful and inviting, with an indetin-
able charm which money alone can
never buy. She would no more think
of compelling purple to stand with
blue or scarlet with crimson than she
would think of inviting into her par
lor two persons who were sworn enc
mics to each other. She would avoid
loud colors in her furnishings as she
would a loud-mouthed individual full
of seIf-assertion and overbearing ways.
Instead of envying and aping the rich.
the woman who will study the nature
of colors and the laws of harmony
and make her selections in accordance
with them will be gratified with a
beautiful home, simple, perhaps, out
wonderfully pleasing in its air of
cheerful comfort and expression of re-
fined feeling. The woman who has a
sense of harmony, either native or ac-
ouired, will not make the mistake of
overlooking her rooms or her gar
ments. True art demands the absence
of whatever is supertluous, meaning
| less or contradictory and fretting. 1t
may not be easy to give up what vul-
garity and coarseness have so long
exacted, but refined taste once ac-
ouired has no use for the tawdry, the
worthless and the oppressive weight
of decoration. Simplicity does not sig
nifty any form of puritanism, but it
| does mean a harmony that produces
peace on all who come under it's in
! fiuence.

Bought a Farm to own a Tree.

All the country knows Elihu Root,
the lawyer, man of affairs, and cabinet
officer, but there are ss-known sides
to his makeup which are, perhaps,
more indicative Of the man himself,
and which are, too, more interesting
for the very reason that they are less
appreciated. For instance, he is
enough of a sentimentalist to have
bought q farm that he might own a
certain tree.
He was born in Cabinet Hall, one
of the buildings Of Hamilton College,
New York, where his father, Oren
Root, was a professor. In his boyhood
years the two used to take long walks
together, and, time and again, on their
homeward way, it was under a splen-
did hemlock on Kirkland Farm that
they would rest. The hilltop COM

banquet. They sat at a circular table
around a slowly revolving cannon load

arranged that it could be touched from
a hidden source outside of the banquet
hall. That at some time during the

when, or in what direction it would
