Simple Home Recipe.

Get from any prescription phar-
macist the following:
Fluid extract dandeloin, one
half ounce, compound kargon, one
ounce; compound syrup sarsapar-
lila, three ounces.
i Shake well in bottle and take a
teaspoon dose after each meal and
at bedtime.
The above is considered by en-
inent authority who writes in a
New York daily paper as the finest
prescription ever written to relieve
backache, kidney trouble. weak
bladder and all forms of uinary
difficulties. This mixture acts
promptly on the eliminative tissues
of the kidneys enabling to filter
and strain the uric acid and other
waste matter from the blood which
causes rheumatism.
Some persons who suffer with
the Affections may not feel in
clined to place much confidence in
this simple mixture yet those who
have tried it say the results are
simply surprising, the relief being
effected without the slightest in
jury to the stomach or other or
gans.
Mix some and give it trial.
1t certainly comes highly recon-
mended. 1t is the prescription
of an eminent authority whose en-
tire reputation, it is said, was es-
tablisned by it.
A druggist here at home when
asked stated that he could either
supply the ingredients or mix the
prescription for our readers, also
recommends it as harmless.

The fragrant odor coming from

somewhat damaging because it
creates an appetite for something

way one signed: subject, boiled

Here one raises her skirts and you see that she has on zouaveA boomers which fall to hes ankles; they make me think of the fourteen-yard brooches worn by the girls of Algiers The poorer women wear gowns of blue cotton, and a single gown and veil make up a whole costume. Some of them carry babies astride their hips or their shoulders, and the babies are often as naked as when they were born. N d few of the ladies have eunuchs to go about with them. The latter are as black my hat and as sour as the Sphinx. They are to keep the young women from flirting, they shop in the bazars.
 Nearly all of the women have their faces covered. In the ooriental quarters you will not meet any, except the very lowest of the peasants. who has not a long veil of black crepe six inches wide reaching from just below her eyes 10 her ankles.

That part of the city is having q boom; and lots which sold for s1O a square yard two years ago are now bringing sSo There are n. stances where ground is selling for eigh- teen times as much as it did in 19e5.

Rents are so rising that the poorer Europeans are moving out into the suburbs, and this city promises 10 have a suburban development just as We have about our American towns.
 European Cairo is a city of wide streets, paved with asphalt. It is a city of elec- tric lights and sanitary improvements. It has fine residences, surrounded by gar dens filled with tropical plants and trees: and its better stores carry goods which would sell readily in Paris or New YorK. One can buy almost anything from any where in the world at these stores. This is especially so of such wares as are in demand by the tourists and the rich do-nithing class The peddler of antlqui- ties and fine china, of jewelry and of oriental rugs Is also here in all his glory. and during the season he does big business.

When he comes home tired and weary at night it cannot be much pleasure to him to find his wife preaching of wo- mems rights or to have to journey to jail to bail her out for trying to insist upon them. The strong minded woman is not of the type men love; he may respect and even fear her, but he will never love her as he loves the woman who looks up to him and who owns that he is master.
 Therefore, girls, you who want to get married, and to have homes of your. own, do not appear to be strong minded, even if you are. After marriage you can af- ford to surprise your husband-let us hope pleasantly. Men like a woman to have few ideas of her own, but she mustn't have too many, and she mustn't be too clever; that is fatal.
 Once show your husband your brain and intellect is superior to his, and you make him lose his self-esteem, and he be- comes a miserable creature. Women are ways of tact and diplomacy; 1t is a little ways of tast and diplomacy; 1t Is little deceit that is forgiven. Indeed the woman who practice it deserves to be for given, for 1t Is rather trying to hide ones most brilliant lights under a bushel; but to be quite happy one must do so In some degree at any rate.

 Cairo is one of the winter resorts of the world. It is thronged during the season with Europeans and Americans. There are thousands of our rich citizens here every year. and they leave millions of dollars in Egypt. Thirty thousand tourists visited the valley of the Nile last winter, and it is safe to say that they left upward of s10,000, 900.

The prices are somewhat less during the summer and fall but at such times many of the hotels are closed tho most of them running only during De- cember January, February and March.
 Many people come here to spend the winter, and many find it so cold that they have to leave. It seems to me that the advantages of Cairo as a health re- sort have been greatly overrated. For the last year or so the city has had an epidemic of dengue or breakbone fever during the winter, and there Is scarcely man, woman or child who has es- caped The climate Is better farthe CT up the Nile valley.

TWO KINDS OF PIETY

and freely uttered an awareness of the most fiimsy and feeting emotions makes one actually shutter.
 Madame Guyon's Deity. too, was a most unpleasant personifcaton. reminder Of the jealous God of ancient Israel touched up by the sentimentality and artificiality of the court of the Grand Monarch Whenever Madame Guyon felt an especial drawing of the heart toward her Deity. He rewarded her by depriving her Of whatsoever solaces she might have left, or by adding new burdens to her already weighted soul. The method commended itself to her as the most reasonable one, for she writes of friend, ''1t was then that God left indelible impressions of His grace on her soul, and she continued so athirst for Him that she could scarcely endure to converse on any other subject That she might become wholly His, He deprived her of most affectionate hus- band and visited her with such severe crosses, and at the same time poured His grace so abundantly into her heart, that He soon became sole master thereof" It would indeed be stout heart that would venture on so formidable a relation, and the experience may quite easily be re- versed and attributed to some omnfscient quolity of mercy in the matter Of con- tinuous, heartrending. bereavements and dlsappointments, yet also knows how to inspire us With trust ana courage, anu patience enough to wait on issues larger than our own intelligence. But when our omniscient Deity seems grasping and mean and full of self -glorification. we must Know that 1t is the shadow of our own finitude and imperfection cast upor Him. It has been told us that unto Him a thousand years is as one day, and as Whitman says:
 "Whether l come to my own today, or in
 ten thousand or ten million years.
 I can cheerfully take it now. or, with
 equal cheerfulness. can wait"
 Here is a note of very different piety; a pety most perfectly exemplified some centuries before Madame Guyon, by "the little poor man. Bernardone's son. One sometimes wonders why the piety of St. Francis seems to have shed all the ugly garments and lll-itting disguises that we see upon the other forms of piety. Was 1t that he joined to the love of virtue the true artists soul, one may well find in the exquisitely precise and fitting ep- ithets of his lovely canticle of created things. where he sings of his Brother Sun who gives the day and "s beautiful and radiant with great splendor." and of Sister Moon and the stars. "clear and precious and comedy" and of Brother Wind and of the air and the cloud. and of fair and of all weather. by which the creatures are given sustenance; of Sister

 Piety, like other qualities, walks the earth in various garb, and is acceptable or distasteful to the observer according to his own temperament. Now. piety, more than the other virtues, is like to in- vite scorn or rapture in the observer. and need it be said that the usual method is to offer the first face to face, and pay toll of the second only when the centuries have softened the outlines and dimmed the features of its adherents?
 To turn from the Autobiography of Madame Guyon to The Legend of the Three Companions, or the Mirror of Per lection, Is like coming out of a stuffy closet into the open air and under the broad, blue sky. The age in which Ma dame Guyon liver and wrote was sadly afflicted with circumstances. Self consciousness, like little learning, Is dangerous stage in the game of life. It seems to be a necessary step in the progress of developing soul, or an ln- telligence, since we distinctly look down upon worms and caterpillars who have not yet achieved that height; but the human being who reaches 1t and does not pass beyond into a knowledge of that self's small part in the schemes Of the universe, is apt to be a disturbing ele- ment in contemporary life, and an un- pleasing object in history and literature. One might almost argue that self-con- sciousness is a state of sin, since only those who possess it in sorrow, in an- guish of prt. are bearabe in literature. guish of spirit, are bearable in litera ture. but he had so puzzlng a career, and was so bewildered and thwarted by the world play presented to his intelligence, that he remains ever the loyable type of the man paralyZed by the worlds wanton evil. Amiel was self-conscious to the point of malady, and yet he so yearned to break bounds, to escape into the outer world of nature and his fellows, to free him. self from the nagging sickness of his in- ner consciousness, that we love him the more for his suffering, and we finger with him for solace when we are thwarted in our own struggle to escape to the one great liberator, Love, for a warning against accepting as final any such stage of limited sympathy and self-preoccupied living But Madame Guyon would seem to have been not only stationary in the state of the sin of self-consciousness, but worse; she was complacently settled there. She was charmed with her own piety. She was as unreserved in her disclosures Of Ter relations to her Deity as the most gushing and ill-bred girl of eighteen over her first lover.

From the Philadelphia Enquirer.
 TT Is rather a difficult thing to de-
 termine right away the type of wo- man who always gets married. We all have our opinions on the subject, and most types seem to have their chances. It is said that every woman has at least one chance and one offer of marriage dur ing her lifetime; in any case, there Is hardly a woman breathing who would own that she has never had the opportu- nity of making some man happy or mis- erable, as the case may be.
 Some sixty or seventy years ago the editor of a funny paper offered. as his opinion that the type of woman who most generally gets married was 'she who had an antipathy to ices and lobster salad, who disliked theatres and concerts, and whose favorite occupation was mending her husbands thinge and cooking his dn- ners"
 The woman who eschews every, or near ly every. little pleasure in life is apt to be deadly dull, and, taken on the average, IS not the type that men run after and pes- ter with offers of marriage.
 These deadly dull ones make as rule, good wives and most excellent house. keepers; but. unless a man Is a hypo- chondriacal old bachelor, and only re- requires some one to see his clothes were well aired and mended and his dinners well cooked he wants a little more than those very sensible and practical qualities.
 1t appears to me that the type of woman who always seems to get married is she of the clinging, trusting, lookng-up-to. She may be an infamous cook, and her husbands clothes may go begging for all the stitches she will put in them. But, in nine cases out of ten, she will marry, and, in nine cases out of ten, she will get good husband.
 What is her particular charm? If one asked man to describe it. in all prob ability he wouldn't know how to, or he might say 1t was that ''babyish sort of helplessness that appeals to you, don't you know?"
 Men are the oldest creatures. They have been kno~n hundreds of times to pass by really splendid and noble women. and select for their helpmates weak foppy, foolish creature, simply because she had an appealing way with her, and it fiatters his vanity to find he is so neces- sary to her comfort.
