Attractive Night Lamps.

So-called Damascus shrine lamps" come from the far East and are now being used in America, for night lights, or in rooms where only candle light is used. The base of the shrine is a fluted shallow brass pan four inches in diameter, which holds candle. It hangs at the bottom of wreath of prettily-wrought leaves. The wreath is tbe size of tea plate, and at the top it holds a dome over the candle flame. In the top of the dome there is heavy hook to swing the light by. These lamps are particularly decora- tive, lending themselves to their back ground tremendously, especially in rooms with black paint and yellow wall coverings.

By Edward Riddle patlscst.

~ FIRING fever in the country is
 somewhat different from that
 same ailment in the city. For one thing. it begins earlier each year: and for another. in rural neighborhoodss 1t breaks forth into print.
 MT. and Mrs. Townbred. right now. are in the throes of perfectly healthy case of 1t. country type. In fact if would be misfortune were they not. And thereby hangs another tale Of the experiences of this city couple who moved to tho country.
 From the beginning 1t had been agreed that Mrs. Townbred should run the place at Five Oaks. First. because she akncw how to: and, sec ,ondly. because Mir. Townbred didn't So. during their first year there. she had managed the planting of the crops and the garden. and the care of the chickens and the livestock. And MT. Townbred had kept hands off, gladly. consistently. even thankfully.
 But there is something infectious about seeing things grow. And. some how, you can't live in the country the year round without wanting to know something about them.
 To be sure. MT. Townbred used to brag to his men friends about how the corn was coming on. and the early varieties of vegetables in the garden and the accomplishments of his hens along the lines hens are ordained or. rather. begged, cuddled. cajoled- to accomplish. But. in his heart of hearts, he had always felt himself an outsider looking in. So. agricul- turally speaking. spirit of unrest may be said to have been peclsing away at him all winter long.
 And it broke out the other day in way that is an infallible symp- tom of spring fever in the country. TO wit:-he came home in the even- ing with both arms full of the sea- sons crop of seed and garden cata- ,ogues.
 He smuggled them into the house and hid them t.chind the big hall seat until after dinner. Then. when the lamp on the living room table was lit, he dragged them forth.
 Mrs. Townbred was amazed. Where in the world did you get them. Ruth vin?" she asked. Tt was so thought full of you to bring them to mc--I've been meaning to write for some for a week now but have been so busy just couldn't"
 MT. Townbred dumped them on the table and drew up chair. opposite Mrs. Townbred's. .I-cr-I-that Is. " he began. Pm glad you like them they look very er-er-a-very prac- teal"
 Mrc Tnwnhred Iauche0 "Ch they are that. all right" she said. but somehow the tomatoes you raise ncver look Ike the ones in the illustrations.

 Mrs. TownLred gasped; then she threw back her head and laughed un- restrainedly. "It-it's got you" she exclaimed. ITO think of it! Great goodness. what will become of our fair place if you take to messing around!"
 Mr. Townbred scowled. "You think it's funny, don't you!" he retorted. "Well l just guess I have right to plant things on my own place. haven't I? And even though l don't know anything about farming. I've got brains enough to follow printed di- rections and-and-and--"

MonopoIy Always Feared.

Probably the word grocer origin ally meant "one who sells by the great, or .utters his commodities by wholesale" and they trace it to the French word "grossier." An act en- titled 37th Edward III c. 5 was d. rected against grocers expressing marchandizes'-tha is to say, against the absorbing or monopollzlng o1 trade. Here there appears to be an early instance of hostility to the run ming of great stores. Blackstone, the legal authority, distinctly states that engrossing was the getting into ones possession, or buying up large quan- tities of corn or other dead victuals
 with intent to sell them again.

ACID STOMACHS
ARE DANGEROUS
A Physicians Advice on Cause and
Cure.

\ New York Physician who has made
special study of stomach and intestin-
al diseases says that nearly all iutcs-
tinal troubles, as well as many diseases
of the vital organs, are directly trace
able to Il deranged condition of tho
stomach. This in turn is due about nine
times out Of ten TO excessive ucidity,
commonly termed sour stomach or
heartburn, which not only irritatcs and
inflamcs the delicate lining of the
stomach but also may set up gastritis
and in a large majority of cases gastric
ulcers are accompanied by hyperaeidity.
il is interesting to note that he con
demns the use of patent medicines, and
practically all medical treatment that
is designed to act upon the stomach
linig, stating that the best results are
obtained by the use Of a simplt antarid
which acts upon the contents of the
stomach and neutralizes the acidity of
the food thus removing the source Of
the trouble. AS an antacid he prescribes
ordinary bisurated magncsia and SAYS
that irritating medicines aud medical
treatments are useless, so long as the
contents Of the stomach remains acid:
remoe the oeidity and there will be no
need for medieine-the iuflamed linin~
of the stomach will then heal itself
Sufferers from acidity. sour stomach
AMI heartburn should get a small bottle
of bisuratcd magncsia from their drr~-
gi9t, and take a tcaspoonful in quarter
n q glass Of hot or cold water after
eneh meal, repeating in fifteen minutes.
] u necessary this being the dose which
ihe doctor has found most efficaeious
in all cases.
