The Board Of Bond Trustees being
unable to reach a unanimous under
as TO the bids received, sub
mitted a report TO the city council IN
which the names Of r. C. StOrrle and
Bryan & Co. were mentioned as the
two bidders whose figures were the
lowest, and requesting that the cOun-
ell decide which should have the con-
tract. The bid of Bryan & Co. being
about $1,000 lower than that Of StOr-
RE, Alderman MuldOn moved that it
be accepted. This was amended to
read provided Bryan & Co. put the
sum of $4,000 into the work and keep
that sum intact in the city until the
work had been completed, deductions
being made from estimates Of work
lone to keep the amount intact. This
brought on a lengthy discussion

A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is unfit to care
for children ; it ruins q child's disposi.
ton and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak.
ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women act like a frebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths of the nervous prostration, ner-
vous dependency, the blues" sleep
l~eSsness, and nervous irritability of
women arise from some arrangement
of the female organism.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, SO that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like cryingP
Do you feel something like a ball ris-
ing in your throat and threatening to
choke you; all the senses perverted,
morbidly sensitive TO light and sound;
pain in the abdominal region, and
between the shoulders bearing-down
pains; nervous dyspepsia and almost
continually cross and snappy?
If SO, your nerves are in a shattered
condition, and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing in
the world is better for nervous prostra-
ton than Lydia E. Pinhham's Vege-
table Compound; thousands and thou
sands of women cen testify TO this fact.

THE GUEST ROOM.
WAYS BY WHICH IT CAN BE
MADE ATTRACTIVE.
Little Things Easy 10 Do and Which
Will Add Much to the Comfort
Of the Person Occupying
the Chamber.

For several reasons, the guest
room is apt to be the least attractive
room in the house, writes Elizabeth
Biddle, in the Chicago Inter Ocean.
For instance, it is generally on the
side of the house which has the least
sunshine, and it is not, as a rule, fit
ted up with the attractive furnishings
which fill the rooms that are more
frequently occupied.
The hostess who wishes to make
her guest feel thoroughly comfortable
may do so for a very small outlay of
money.
First of all, she must have the
Don papered with a pale yellow or
pink paper. These colors do not alb
sorb the light and will make the room
almost as cheerful as if the sun
shone into 1t. She will have dainty
rufiied muslin curtains at the window
and a second set of curtains and slip
covers of some attractive Powered
chintz, matching the wall paper in
color, There should be plenty Of
chairs, and a couch if possible. An
open fireplace always adds to the
comfort and cheerfulness of a room.
1t is a wise guest who relieves her
hostess of her society for an hour or
two each day, for both need a little
solitude.
Letter writing is always an excel
lent excuse and, as a rule, an anthem.
tic one, SO it would be a wise plan for
the hostess to provide a writing desk
for the guest; one that is well filled
with all the necessary appointments
for writing.
There are also many small things
which may be put into the room that
add greatly to the comfort of the &C.
cupant. A card giving the hours Of
arriving and departing trains and
mails, and a laundry list, with the
day and hour that the messenger will
call for the linen, marked or it, will
be found extremely useful.
A thoughtful hostess will put a
clock in the room and see that it is
going properly before the guest ar.
rives; and she will, of course, place
all the necessary articles on the
dressing table-hair brush, mirror
and comb, whiskbroom, clothes brush,
mirror, powder box and puff, and pin
cushion filled with various sized pins;
the other toilet articles the guest will,
doubt, bring with her.
On a little table neal the bed she
will stand a dainty candlestick with
candle and matches, and on this same
table she will place a small work bas-
ket fitted up with needles, a few
spools of cotton and of silk, an emery
bag, a small pincushion, and a silver
celluloid thimble, and a small pair of
scissors.
All this sounds ~extravagant, but just
try it and see for yourself with how
small a amount of money one can
provide these additional comforts.
True hospitality is that which gives
a guest all the little daily comforts
such as n is apt to have at home,
and then leaves her free, in a great
measure, to come and go as she
