THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t is lii
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature,
but few realize its value when taken
into the human system for the same
cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
Won take of it the better; it is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present in
the stomach and intestines and carries
them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetenS the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating on
ions and other odorous vegetables
Charcoal effectually clears and inn
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels;
it disinfects the mouth and throat
from the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the
best charcoal and the most for the
money is in Stuart's Charcoal
Lozenges; they are composed of the
finest powdered Willow charcoal, and
other harmless antiseptics in tablet
form or rather in the form of large
pleasant tasting lozenges, the charcoal
being mixed with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges Will
soon tell in a much improved condl-
Etion of the general health better COM
Ijlexion, sweeter breath and purer
blood, and the beauty of it is, that no
possible harm can result from their
continued use, but on the contrary,
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking OF
the benefits of charcoal says: Il adj
wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas in stomach
| and bowels. and to clear the complex
ion and purify the breath, mouth and

overcrowded Rooms.

Order, being heavens first law, does
not mean that every chair should be
located by figure in the rug, or that
a book or magazine should never be
found lying on table where it does
not belong. Once, in the long ago, it
was called good honseAeeing. but II
can never he considered good home
making. In the homo furnished for
use and simple beauty there will come
the order that brings rest and comfort.
This is the kind OF order that is vital.
One great fault with many house
keepers Of today is that they over
crowd their homes with unnecessary
furniture and so-called adornments.
Women so shopping and see things
marked down. and they buy them.
They are bargains" and the tempt
alton is irresistible. The consequence
is, their homes are soon oyerflowing
with a mass of uninteresting rubbish.
The small things are often very
good, but there are too many of them
and they serve no useful purpose. Two
brass candlesticks on a mantel are
letter than seven; one or two pieces
of pottery are more interesting than
a dozen, and few pictures are far
better from decorative standpoint
than a number. Get rid of the super
Guous. Most rooms have too many
pieces of furniture and all rooms have
TOO l.laDy things.
Simplicity Of arrangements is so
bound uD with order and the absence
of the superfluous that it cannot we'll

to accord with the rooms, books that

other day. Yet this very man had
fallen overheard in the open sea no
less than four times, and had only
been saved on one occasion by catch
ing the line thrown him in mis- teeth
and holding on till he was hauled
aboard. His hands were too numbed
to be of any use. Still this fact does
not deter them from facing the water.
In an open bay in Labrador lives one
solitary settler. In the spring of the

the bay ice after seals, when all OF

fell through. The father seeing it
from the shore, did not hesitate, but
seizing a fishing line.hastily fastened
one end round his body, and giving
the other end to his daughter to hold,
he ran out to the hole through which
they had fallen. He jumped into the
water, actually went down and fetched

A bottle was handed him. which he
poured down the throat of the least in

id gilt, says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
AS this is burned on, there is no

A suggestion rs to the washing of
such exquisite pieces may be in order.
Never use very hot water; only tepid
and with very little best household
soap dissolved in it. Have mop in
stead of cloth: rinse in teDid water
and set in a rack to drain. 4 big
clamois should then be used lightly
that the surface be not scratched or
marked. Rounds of chamois should be
placed between the plates, if they are
piled, but a rack behind glass is the
better way of keeping them.

sforv Of Terrapin,s Memory


That Br'er Tarrypin has memory is
proved By story told by Young D.
Hance, who owns the birthplace Of
Chief Justice Taney, on Battle creek,
in Calvert county.
Mr.. Hance keeps small boat under
q mulberry tree on the shore Of the
geek, and on going to the boat early
one morning he noticed dry land
terrapin busily engaged in eating a
few mulberries which had fallen. Mr.
Hance wishing to assist Br'er Tarry
pin in getting his breakfast, gathered
some mulberries and pitched them to
him one at time. In very short
time the terrapin began to catch the
berries in his mouth exactly as they
were thrown to him. Every day after
ward slight knock on the side of the
boat would bring the terrapin out for
his mulberries, and Mr.. Hance often
took his friends and visitors to see his
pet.
On one occasion fresh young man
threw a piece Of tobacco TO the terra
pin instead of mulberry. Br'er Tar
rypin retired at once in disgust, and
for days afterward refused to ccme
when called. Although Mr.. Hance
finally induced him to come again for
his mulberries, Br'er Tarrypin remem-
bered the tobacco and would never ap-
proach unless MIR. Hance was alone
