A CURE FOR COLDS.
Now 10 Make a Remedy That Has
Proved OF Great vaIue,

H-EONfW u tNNCak4 aAAkA~f
The following recipe has been sue
tessfully used IN our household for
many years and Is one which has
proved of the greatest value to rs and
to our friends, says u writer in the
Woman's Home Companion
Take a large teaeupful of linseed, 5
cents worth Of pure stick iicorice and
one fourth of pound Of Valencia
raisins. rut these into TWO quarts of
cold water place On the stove and let
simmer oyer slow fire until it is re-
duecd to about half. Take off and
strain through cheese cloth or fine linen.
place it on the stove again, adding
one-fourth of a pound Of sugar candy
Tor rock candy). Pound the candy I'M
til it is quite fine, and when it is dis
solved pour the whole into jar or
sealer. cover aud place in the cool.
Take half 4 pint Of this mixture on
going to bed adding the juice of half
a good sized lemon and a tablespoon
full of old rum to the quantity you are
about to take. The two latter in
gradients are best added only to the
quantity about to be taken, as if add
ed to the whole it is apt to grow fat.
Rip the raisins lightly with sharp
knife. so that all the goodness may be
obtained.
White Wine vinegar may be used in
he place of lemon juice, but the lat
ter is much to be preferred. Some
may find little difficulty in obtaining
she rock candy, but little perseyer-
ance will be amply repaid. None need
hesitate in the using Of this remedy.
for if taken in time it is not too much
to say that it is infallible. 1t has been
known to cure colds in less than three
weeks that have almost settled into
consumption.

The Earl OF Pawtucket'' at the Chestnut
Street Theatre, Phila.


Lawrence D'Crsay s second week in THE
Earl of Pawtucket'' at the Chestnut Stree,
Theatre opened on Monday evening. The
snlendid audiences that have greeted the
olay during this week, and the genuine
md demonstrative enthusiasm with which
these audiences have received the laugh
able development of Augustus Thomas
merry story, leaves small room for douf I
that Mr.. D'Orsay's stay in Philadelphia
will prove as exceptionally successful a.
ave his engagements in this play in New
York and the other cities which he has
visited since the close of his al1-winter al
ill-summer run on Broadway. 1t is good
many years since any comedy offered IN
America has created so much of stir as
las this amusing story Of the awful thing,
that happened to the Bridish Earl who, il
spite Of his PicadiIly accent and pronounc
ed English mannerisms, tries to pass him
self off as an American. The love interest
Of the story is given so much prominence
shat the play cannot be correctly classed as a
arce and yet it is as uproariously funny il
ifs complications and in the witty lines
which sparkle through its progress, as my
Friend from India or s'Charlie's Aunt
a large share of the credit for the almost
unprecedented success which has marked
The career of this play, must be given to
Mr.. O'Orsay, whose Interpretation Of she
title role is so remarkable piece Of work
that lovers Of the best art-produets OF the
American stage can lily afford to miss Civ
ing serious study to his methods. His
personal triumph in this play is admitted
TO be one of the most pronounced success $
that any actor has achieved in this country
for many years, and the Fact that dramatic
reviewers in New York and elsewhere have
again and again alluded to him as The
Twentieth Century Dundreary,o and havt
in other ways compared his work fayorablA
with that of the elder Sothern, is proof
positive Of the high place that he has ac-
quired among the comedian stars Of Amer
ica. The advance sale for next week has
been characterized by such heavy demand
for seats, that there is no longer any doubt
that Mr.. D'0rsay will be seen by crowded
audiences during his entire engagement.
Matinees will be played on Wednesdays
and SATURDAYS.

To wax a new floor use first a good
wood filler" which must be thorough
" rubbed off before it becomes too
hard, and then a prepared wax. 1t is
better to purchase this wax unless you
have had a great deal of experience in
mixing it. Apply the prepared wax
with a thin wooden rag and polish it
in witha heavy brush or brick, rubbing
the floor across the grain first and
with the grain afterward The wax
must be applied in a very thin coat and
thoroughly rubbed into the floor. After
the floor has been filled and dried two
coats of wax are necessary to finish it.
