The Feast of tbo Butterflies
On the track of a sunbeam shining
through
The blossoming hedge the wind cars flew
As only the trains of the fairies do
And every butterfly came down
From Lilac vale to Bluebell town
In a velvet bodice and satin gown

Three Women Relieved of Femalo
Troubles by Mrs Pinkham
From Mrs A W Smith 59 Summer
St Biddeford Me
For several years I suffered with
various diseases peculiar to my sex
Was troubled with a burning sensation
across the small of my bacly that all
gone feeling was despondent fretful
and discouraged the least exertion
tired me I tried several doctors but
received little benefit At last I-de-
cided to give your Lydia E Pinkhams
Vegetable Compound a trial The ef
fect of the first bottle was magical
Those symptoms of weakness that I
was afflicted with vanished likp vapor
before the sun I cannot speak too
highly of 3rour valuable remedy It is
truly a boon to woman
From Mrs Melissa Pnniips Lex
ington Ind to Mrs Pinkham
Before I began takingyour medicine
I had suffered for two years with that
tired feeling headache backache no a p
petite and a run down condition of the
system I could not walk across the
room I have taken four bottles of the
Vegetable Compound one box of Liver
Pills and used one package of Sanative
Wash and now feel like a new woman
and am able to do my work
From Mrs Mollie E LIerrel Pow
ell Station Tenn
For three years I suffered with such a
weakness of the back I could not
perform my household duties I also
had falling of the womb terrible bearing-down
pains and headache I have
taker two bottles of Lydia E Pink
hams Vegetable Compound and feel
like a new woman I recommend your
medicine to every woman I know
Introductions
Do not presume that promiscuous In
troductions are agreeable You should
be sure that the parties to be introduc
ed are at least willing to be made ac
quainted The person of inferior rank
should be presented to those of higher
rank the younger to those of superior
age and gentlemen to the ladies in ev
ery case No extended formula is nec
essary in introductions A short court
eous presentation of one to the other
is all that is needed Nor should exces
sive adulation be indulged or gushing
expressions of pleasure etc When a
famous person is introduced a refer
ence to his -fame is not out of place
Because of an introduction neither
party should presume tltat the ac
quaintances shall be continued that
must depend on the encouragement in
that direction which either party may
be pleLStd to give A lady to whom you
have been introduced may at her op
tion omit to recognize you afterward
This is no discourtesy it is her proper
privilege
In introducing parties a formula en
tirely proper is Mr Webb permit me
to introduce to you to my friend Mr
Cams Then turning to the friend pre
sented add Mr Cams my friend Mr
Webb Gentlemen bow and shake
hands on introduction If introduced
to a lady let her make the advance in
the handshaking and whether she ex
tend her hand or not the gentleman
should bow
Let all handshaking be cordial but
not excessive A mere exteusion of a
few fingers or a listless offering of the
hand is as far from the proper act as
a grasp that splits a glove and crushes
a ladys hand
The Use of Chicory
Few people are aware of the extent
to which chicory is used as an addition
to coffee This vegetable is usually
spoken of as an adulterant and many
look upon it as such It has however
gained such a foothold in public esteem
that housekeepers are buying it and
mixing it with their coffee by choice
It is thought to make the coffee richer
and is employed for the purpose and
without any consideration for economy
An immense amount of chicory is
grown in Nebraska and the last years
yield is said to be of excellent quality
At one factory 14000 pounds of finished
chicory are turned out every twenty
four hours This is but one of the
large plants in the State There are
contracts with Nebraska farmers for
15000 acres of chicory and at Fremont
the drying plant is running at the rate
of eighty tons a day New York

that they want a bird or an animal oi
a certain shape or color they set about
manufacturing the article so to speak
by the exercise of exceedingly clevei
Ingenuity and nUring patience Here
for example Is how the white sparrows
are produced They select a pair of

Systematic Housework
No one can accomplish much unless
there Is real system about their work
Not only will this give more time to ac
complish each task but having less to
do each day the work will be done in
a better manner Always have certain
days for laundry work hang all the
ironed clothes around the fire till per
fectly dry when folded always put
those that need repairing in one place
and mend them before they are put
away for good Always have certain
places on closet shelves or in draw
ers for all clothes and keep them in
good order Have one day in the week
set apart for a good cleaning of the
house sweep and dust well and with
a little care the home may be kept in
order all the time If the sewing is all
done at home as it is in our case do
not make the mistake of sewing some
nearly every day but try to do your
summer sewing in the winter or early
spring and winter sewing in the falL
By following this plan you will not al
ways be rushed with your sewing Al
ways plan the work ahead and you will
not always be kept at It besides you
will find more real pleasure in the
work
Rhubarb Pie
Wash the rhubarb and cut off the root
and leaf end but do not peel it unless
very tough for the pink skin gives a
fine color and flavor If It is a very
sour variety pour boiling water over it
and letit stand five minutes then drain
It Put the rhubarb cut into men
pieces into a deep dish earthen or
granite and sprinkle over It one level
cup of sugar to each heaped pint of rhu
barb If you like the syrup thick mix
one level tablespoonful of cornstarch
with the sugar Add also one table
spoonful salt Cover with a rich pastry
crust and bake about half an hour
To Milk a Kicking Cow
By adopting my plan you can cure a
cow or heifer of the habit of kicking
without touching her Make a light
pair of bars of 3x1 inch stuff then
frame 5 or 6 jof the same pieces to
gether to form a gate of any desired
length place It between yourself and
the cow having the uprights hinged to
joists above or working in a slide so it
can be pushed forward or drawn back
as needed Uprights should be about
eight inches apart In a short time the
cow will become very gentle Albert

Holes in Umbrellas
One of the fruitful causes of holes in
the folds of an umbrella is improper
care when it is wet To roll up a wet
umbrella Is to Invite the dyes to rot it
and one of the banes of the umbrella
manufacturer is loaded dye on silk
When over dyed silks are wet and the
umbrellas rolled and set away we find
the owners complaining that their um
brellas are cracking in the folds Fine
holes appear and they are apt to re
turn the umbrella to the merchant and
claim damages
The Farm Home
The farm is a home not a place to be
lived at to day and moved from to-morrow
but a home to be improved and
btautified a home where orchards are
to be planted where vines are to be
grown where substantial things are
to be constructed where children are
to be born and fathers are to die Into
the fields come and reap new genera
tions out of the fields and into the
graveyard pass old generations

You may say there is no doubt as to

interview and certainly attribute my cure
to Dr Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo

LAW OF THE UMBRELLA
An Important Oplirion that Has Been
Ascribed to JLord Coleridge
The law as to umbrellas was settled
once for all by Lord Coleridge in a lead
ing English case His Lordship held
Umbrellas properly considered are
a part of the atmospheric or meteoro
logical condition and as such there
can be no individual property right in
them In Sampson vs Thompson de
fendant was charged with standing
on plaintiffs front steps during a storm
and thereby soaking up a large quanti
ty of rain to which plaintiff was enti
tled But the court held that the rain
was any mans rain no matter where it
fell It follows therefore that the
umbrella is any mans umbrella In all
ages rain and umbrellas have gone to
gether and there is no reason why they
should be separated in law An um
brella may under certain circum
stancesthe chief of which is posses
siontake on the attributes of personal
property just as if a man set a tub and
catch a quantity of rain water that
rain water will be considered as his
personal belonging while it is iu his
tub But if the sun evaporate the wa
ter and it is rained down again or if
the tub is upset and the water spilled
then the attribute of personal owner
ship instantly disappears So if a man
hold his umbrella in his baud it may be
considered a personal belonging but
the moment it leaves his hand it re
turns to the great general indivisible
common stock of umbrellas whither
the law will not attempt to pursue it
So far as we know there has never
been a successful appeal from this de
cision Chicago News
It costs more to resent injuries tnan
to bear them
Are your nerves weak
Cant you sleep well Pain
in your back Lack energy
Appetite poor Digestion
bad Boils or pimples
These are sure signs of
poisoning
From whst poisons
From poisons that are al
ways found in constipated
bowels
If the contents cf the
bowels are not removed from
the body each day as nature
intended these poisonous
substances are sure to be
absorbed into the blood al
ways causing suffering and
frequently causing severe
disease
There is a common sense
cure
They daily insure an easy
and natural movement of
the bowels
Ydu will find thatthe useof
rapopifi
with the pills will hasten
recovery It cleanses the
blood from all impurities and
is a great tonic to the nerves
