I had the pleasure of listening to
the Dovey sisters Thursday night an1.
I nitist say. I was entirely satisfied with
their nuaibers. These young l:dies
are unquestionably excellent singers.
As to the leiative values of their
voices, that is largely a matter of
tastt. Personally I prefer the voice
of Miss Ethel Dovey. Its strong con
tralto tones give to a song t he force
required to create a lasting impres
sion. Miss Alice J)ove has an ex
cellent soprano voice and one t hat
the lover of high notes cannot but
greatly admire. Heine prejudiced m
favor of more strength than usually
accompanies the soprano my ehoice
turrs to the contralto voice but. last
night, the audience disagreed with
me. It 1? only the trut h to sa that
either of these singers is wonhyof
the highest commendation.

Several years ago 1 discovered a
slight falling and bleedingof the lowei
Dowel which increased and became
very distressing. I made inquiry as
tothe nature of the disease and learned
that I had a somewhat aggravated cast
f Hemorrhoids or Piles. Was told of
several remedies and used them as di
rected, obtaining thereby some tem
porary relief. Xot being satisfied with
uch slight relief I cast about for a per
manent cure: when a friend directed
the use of the famous Magnet Pilk

from pain followed, and soon a com

Has Blacklisted Insanity.
Tho following story is told of John
Brennrm cf Stevens Point ns a criminal
lawyer. The story goes that a farmer
who had killed his wifo in tho northern
part of the state pent for Mr. Brennan
to defend him, cflcring to deed him his
farm if he wonld talze the case. 13ren
nrm wanted his pay in advance, and so
the farmer made over the property to
him. Themnrderwas a most brntal and
cold blooded one, and Brennan knew
that there was but one plea that might
save his client from n life sentence, and
that was insanity.
Th3 trial was one of
tbe fiercest ever fenght in a 'Wisconsin
ccurL The attorney for the defense oc
cupied a whole day in his closing ad
dress to the jury, and tho effort was a
masterly one. The jury found the man
insane, and he was sent to Oshkosh.
Once there ha improved rapidly and in
a few weelrs was discharged. Uis first
act was to sue Brennan for the recovery
of his prcprety, on the grormd that he
was insane at the time he deeded it. In
the fact cf his own argument that the
man was insane Brennan ccald do
nothing, and the fnrmcr wen his case.

A Remedy For a Cold.
At the beginning cf a cold it is very
good to put the feet in a capsicum foot
bath, wetting tho head and face well
with cold water. At the end cf ten min
utes rub the knees down with cold wa
ter and dry thoroughly. A housekeeper
can easily prepare this tincture of cap
sicum herself. To one quart of vinegar
add one quarter of a pound cf red pep
per, boil slowly for 15 minutes and bot
tle for use. Add two teaspocnf uls to one
bath.
When there is danger of a cold set
tling cn the lungE, make a lotion of ono
part peppermint oil and two parts of
kerosene oil. Paint the parts where the
pain is located with this lotion. Lay a
fold of flannel over and apply a hot wa
ter bag for 10 or 15 minutes. This rem
edy is especially good for pain in tho
back of the head and neck, soreness and
tightness of the chest between tho shoul
