Machine Hemstitching.
It Is useful to know that hemstitch

a little care and trouble. Draw the de
sired number of threads, fold over with
edge in center of drawn threads. Loos
en the tension and stitch as near the
edge of the Item a? possible and then
pull out the bastings.
Take the goods in one hand and the
hem in the other, pull the edge of the
hem to the bottom of the drawn
threads and the work is complete.
This is really hard to tell from hand
work and is much more quickly done.
Tucks may he made the same way
and are a pretty decoration to chil
dren's clothes or a shirtwaist.
Mending China.
China may be mended as firmly as
a rock in the following manner: Two
persons will he needed for the work,
however, for the manipulation must
be done rapidly. The necessary ma
terials are a little tinslnked lime, pul
verized, the slightly beaten white of
an egg, and a small hair brush, such
as is used for gum. Put the white of
egg on the broken edges of both pieces
to be joined, and immediately dust
one edge with the powdered lime, put
the two edges accurately and firmly
together, hold In place for a minute
or two, and then lay aside to dry.
(Kitchen
When Boiling a Cracked Egg.—
When boiling a cracked egg a tea
spoonful of vinegar put iato the water
will prevent it boiling out, no matter
how much it is cracked.
New Pudding Tins.—Before using
new pudding tins place them in the
oven with a little oatmeal or bran and
water, when they will be much sweet
er, and it will prevent the puddings
irotn sticking.
About Mixing Mustard.—When mix
ing mustard add a saltspoonful of salt
and the same quantity of moist sugar,
and mix with boiling water. It will be
found to keep moist much longer and
have a better taste.
Torn Oilcloth.—This is difficult to
mend satisfactorily. Try putting a
piece of sticking plaster underneath
the tear. It will need to be made
damp and must be left severely alone
after sticking it on till quite dry.

Professional "Wakers.’
A writer in the lajmlon Chronicle,
noting a reference In Scribner’s Mag
azine to a sign In a Dutch town, “I-.
V. 1). Zwsan, Morgen Wckker” (which
means morning waker). notes that the
industry Is common In the districts
where London workingmen live, and
sixpence a week from each client is
the useual "waker’a” wage. All over
London, too, policemen make a little
extra in waking those whose work
calls them early, lie tells of seeing
a South Kensington constable clam
bering suspiciously upon a wall. There
the peace officer caught the end of a
rope and pulled till an answering
shout was heard. The constable ex
plained that the other end of the rope
was affixed to a baker’s bedclothes.
The Kaiser’s Short Pipc._
The kaiser's latest fad (apart from
reconstructing German prose) is
smoking a short pipe, which marie
something of a sensation when ho
went ashore recently from his yacht
a: Heligoland. When hi ascended tho
throne he confined himself to cigar
ettes, and his next stage was a 2-cent
Dutch cigar. Tho “bulldog” is a new
departure In the imperial family. The
Emperor Frederick smoked the tra
ditional lojig student pipe, and (he old
emperor did not smoke at all.

, the reply, “but I somehow or other

Dr. Wllllamso Swears.
Yorktown, Ark., Jan. 18.—Last week
a statement was published from 1/e
land Williamson, M. I).. of this plare,
to the effect that Dodd's Kidney Pills
are the best medicine for all Kidney
Diseases and that he uses them with
uniform success in his daily practice.
No one who knows Dr. Williamson
will donbt for a moment the complete
truth of his fearless declaration, but
to completely clinch the matter in the
minds of those who may not have the
pleasure of a personal acquaintance
with this celebrated physician, Dr.
Williamson has appeared before Mr.
H. K. Greene, J. P. for Montgomery
County, and made a sworn statement.
lu this sworn statement the doctor
has cited a number of cases which
have been completely cured by Dodd's
Kidney Pills. Here is case No. 1:
"Henry Hall, Sr., age IS, an Ameri
can, attacked with Malaria liaema
turla, or Swamp Fever; temperature
runged from 101 to 105, highly coated
tongue, constitpated bowels, hemor
rhage or passage of blood from Kid
neys; used febrifuge and Dodd's Kid
ney Pills to relieve the inflammation
and congested condition of Kidneys
and to render the urine bland and non
irritating. Recovery complete after
two months' treatment of the Pills.”
Industry and prosperity are spelled1
differently, but they mean about the I
same thing.
s I M iss Rose Hennessy, well known as^
a poetess and elocutionist, of Lexington,
Ky., tells how she was cured of uterine
inflammation and ovaritis by the use of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound*
“ Dka it Mns. Pinkii am : — I liar*- l>een so blessedly helped through tho use
of Lydia 12. Pinkham's Vejfelable Compound that 1 feel it but just to
acknowledge it, hoping that it may help souio other woman suffering as 1 did.
“ For years I enjoyed the best of health and thought that I would always
do so. 1 attended parties and receptions thinly elad. and would be suddenly
chilled, but 1 did not think of the results, 1 caught a bad cold eighteen
months ago while menstruating, and this caused inflammation of the womb
*nd congested ovaries. 1 suffered excruciating pains :in<l kept getting worse.
My attention was called to vour Vegetable Compound aud the wonderful
cures it had performed, and 1 made up my mind to try it for two months and
see what it would do for me. Within one month I felt mueli better, and
at the close of the second 1 was entirely well. *
*’ I have advised a number of my lady friends to use it, and all express
themselves as well satisfied with the results au 1 was.”—Miss Rosa Nona
Hk.nskssi . 410 S. Broadway, Lexington. Ky.
The experience ami testimony of come of tbe most noted
women of America go to prove hcyoml a question that Lydia 12.
Pinkhain's Vegetable Compound will correct all such trouble amt
at once, by removing tbe cause, aud restoring tho organs to »
normal and healthy eondltion.
“Dear Mrs. Pinkiiam : — About two years ago I consulted a phy
^ sician about my health which had liecome so wretched that I was no
I longer able to lie about. 1 had severe bacliachc, I tearing-down mins,
pains across flu* abdomen, was very nervous and Irritable, aim thist
trouble grew worse each mouth. The physician prcserilted for me, but
I soon discovered thr.t he was unable to help me. ami 1 then decided to
try Lydia 12. Pinl.ham's Vegetable Compound, and soon found that
it was doing me good. My appetite was returning, the pains disappear
I ing, and the general Iteuents were well marked.
“ You cannot realize how pleased 1 was, »ml after taking the medi
cine for only three months. I found that 1 was completely cured of my
trouble, aud have l*een well and hearty ever since, and no more fear tho
monthly ]ieriod, as it now passes without pain to me. Yours very truly,
i Miss Pearl Ackers, 327 North Summer St., Nashville, Tenn.”
When a medicine has liecn siieeessfnl in restoring to health
more tiiun a million women, you cannot well say w ithout trying it
“ I do not believe It w ill belli me.” If you are ill, do not liesituto
to get a hot lie of Lydia 12. Piiikbam’s Vegetable Compound and
write Mrs. Pinkliam at I.yon, >!«■<*., for special advice. Her ad
vice is free and helpful. Write to-day. Delay may ho fatal.
