 In order to keep the home neat and pretty, the children we'll dressed and tidy, women overdo. A female weakness or displacement is often brought on and they suffer in silence, drifting along from bad to worse, knowing well that they ought to have help to overcome the pains and aches which daily make life a burden.

Mahogany trees do not grow in
clusters, but are scattered throughout
the forest and hidden in dense
growth of underbrush. vines and
creepers and require q skillful and
experienced woodsman to find them.
He seeks the highest ground in for.

tree and surveys the surrounding
country. The mahogany has a Pc
culiar foliage and his practiced eye
soon detects the trees within sight.
The axmen follow the hunter and
then come the sawyers and hewers, a
large mahogany taking two men a full
day to fell it. The tree has large
spurs, which project from the trunk

Maxine Furniture Like New

Where there are fine pinlike
scratches on new furniture they may
be easily remedied by using pulverized
rottenstone, that can be bought ready
for use. Put this on soft flannel rag
and rub into the surface of the seat,
back or arms of chair or on the top
of a table 1t will not only take OF
the defects, but bring polish to the
wood
To remove the rottenstone with a
damp piece of chamois carefully wipe
the wood, and when all trace of this
is gone bright lustre can be brought
to the surface of the wood by rubbing
it lightly with soft piece Of cheese
cloth moistened with alcohol
The latter must be used sparinsly
on furniture, for it burns the varnish
and will ruin the appearance Of the
rocker or table if enough is put on to
scorch the surface.

A STARTLING TEST.
Medical Student Drinks Himself Into
Delirium.

| A curious case came within the pur
view Of the writer when young med
lcal student, an athlete, a mighty
boxer, parsonage Of great promise,
deliberately drank himself into the
condition Of delirium tremens as an
experiment. One evening We had been
sitting around the social board and
several of his associates had cautioned
him that he was going altogether too
far with copious draughts Of the
strongest sort Of whisky.
Gentlemen" he said, II am going
to have delirium tremens. and 1t Is q
scientific experiment. am determined
to know the sensations Of man in
that condition. Let some Of my friends
keep watch over me, II they will, for
I feel that / am now on the verge. AL
ready l have seen things that know
do not exist and at times I find 1t
almost impossible to keep myself under
control"
Within an hour the man was being
aeld in bed by four strong companions,
he was seeing snakes, rats and tiends,
was a raving maniac begging for pro-
lection from the imaginary forces that
beset him and was only with the ut
most force prevented from plunging
through the window. The waste OF ex-
pertinent from the scientific point OF
view was that after the delirium
passed and the self-immolated victim
was in the hospital he could not re-
member his delirious siege.
Drugs will produce delirium quite as
successfully as drink. am told by
Pittsburg druggist that when cocaine
flend who had been refused a supply
he took a running leap through the
plate glass window of the door. An
other instance Is that Of the cocaine
doper who climbed to the top Of a troll
ley pole, snuffed his powder and
down again. The jails are
crammed with victims of drugs and
most Of whom are in soma
condition of delirium when they are
gathered in; and here it may be said
that the discipline of the jails often
results fatally for the victim for the
reason that the drink or the drug is at
once cut off and the reaction produces
death. Friends Of persons who hap
pen to be dragged to station house or
jail in this condition should either take
means to give them reduced supply of
the means of their undoing or take
them to sanitarium.
