ADVICE TO VICTIMS TELLS READERS HOW TO CURE RHEUMATISM AT HOME. Directions to Mix a 8lmple Prepar tion and the Dote to Take Over comes Kidney and Bladder Trouble Promptly. . Thore Is bo much Rheumatism every where that the following advice by an eminent authority, who writes for read ers of a large Eastern dally paper, will be highly appreciated by those who utter: Get from any good pharmacy one half ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion, one ounce Compound Kargon, three ounces of Compound Syrup Sarsapa rilla. Shake these well in a bottle and take In teaspoonful doses after each meal and at bedtime ; also drink plenty of good water. It Is claimed that there are few vic tims of this dread and torturous dis ease who will fail to find ready relief in this simple home-made mixture, and In most cases a permanent cure is the result. This simple recipe is said to strength en and cleanse the elimlnative tissues of the Kidneys so that they can filter and strain from the blood and system the poisons,' acids and waste matter, which cause not only Rheumatism, but numerous other diseases. Every man or woman here who feels that their kidneys are not healthy and active, or who suffers from any urinary trouble whatever, should not hesitate to make up this mixture, as it is certain to do much good, and may save you from much misery and suffering after while. THE NUMBER OF ANIMALS. Recent Attempts to Tabulate the Beasts That Perish. Every now and then some natural ist endeavors to make an approximate numerical count of known animal species. This kind of attempt is sure ly not without interest, but It must be acknowledged that its results are very uncertain. We are far from knowing all species, and there is yet a delight ful prospect ahead for those who love systematic soolog and for zoologists who bestow mutual honors by giving each other's names to some animal hitherto unknown. As Nurmann remarked to a recent meeting of naturalists at the museum, to which be presented his "Catalogues Mammallum," the species of rodents known In 1880 were only 970 in num ber; now they are 1,900. The num ber has thus, at least, doubled in 27 years. The number of living species of this creature now known is about 1,600, divided among 160 genera. This family is the most numerous of the class of mammalia. Wissen fur Alio .BABY IN TERRIBLE 8TATE. , Awful Humor Eating Away Face Body a Mass of Sores Cutlcura Cures In Two Weeks. "My little daughter broke out all over her body with a humor, and we used everything recommended, but without results. I called In three doc tors, but she continued to grow worse. Her body was a mass of sores, and her little face was being eaten away. Her ears looked as if they would drop off. Neighbors advised me to get Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and before I had used half of the cake of Soap and box of Ointment the sores had all healed, and my little one's face and body were as clear as a new-born babe's. I would not be without it again if it cost five dollars. Instead of seventy-five cents. Mrs. George J. Steese, 701 Coburn St., Akron, O., Aug. 30, 1905." An Ambition. "So you want to become an ambas sador," exclaimed the man of power. "Yes," replied the opulent person. "I thought you were devoted to your automobile. When did you become in . terested In diplomacy?"

As this is the season when grapes and quinces are plentiful, the fob lowing two recipeB sound attractive, . Select large bunches of perfect grapes, and with a silver fork prick each one carefully; put them in pre serve Jars that have been thoroughly cleansed, and stand them in a shallow pan of hot water so that they will not cool. Make a brandy sirup by cook ing together three quarts of water with seven pounds of sugar until very thick, remove from the fire and add an equal quantity of best brandy; re heat and pour immediately over the grapes; seal and do not use for a month or two. Of course, a small er quantity can be made as an experi ment. Peel half a peck of quinces and cut in thick slices, dropping them In cold water to prevent discoloration; then drain well and add two pounds of figs, sliced in quarters, and three oranges cut into cubes ; place in a pre serving kettle and cover with cold water cooking until the quinces are soft. Take out the fruit and from the water in which they were cooked make a sirup, allowing three pounds of granulated sugar and the white of one egg to every pint and a half of liquid. As soon as the scum rises, add a tablespoonful of cold water; skim until you have a very clear heavy sirup, then return the fruit and, cook about five or ten minutes; pour into jars and seal with air-tight covers. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. To remove rust on copper rub the article with liquid ammonia. Never put salt in soup when cook ing it until it is skimmed, as salt pre vents the scum from rising. The best housekeeper is the one who passes less time in making things clean and more thought in keeping them clean as she goes. Keep camphor in cupboards where clothes are stored, for not only will it keep away moths, but mice, which dislike it exceedingly. Paraffin spilt on a stone floor may be removed by rubbing bath brick over the mark and letting it stay till next day, then wash in the usual way and the floor will be perfectly clean. Paint can be removed from glass by rubbing it with hot, strong vinegar. Stains on the hand can be removed by acetic acid or salts, of lemon and ink marks will soon yield to pumice stone. It is said that potatoes will bake in piuch less time if the skins are greased before putting them into the oven. The skins will come off more easily and will be as thin as when boiled. .:" . . Washington Pie. Scald one pint of milk in a double boiler. Beat together the yolks of two eggs, . a cup of sugar, a piece of butter the size of an egg and a heap ing tablespoonful of corn starch made smooth in a little water. Stir these Into the scalding milk until thorough ly cooked, then set away to cool. Make a rich crust, roll very thin, line your pie . dish and, with a fork prick many holes in it -and bake.. By the time the crust is done have the cream cool. Flavor it with a teaspoonful of vanilla, pour it into the crust, bent the eggs to a stiff frqth with a little powdered sugar, spread lightly on top of the pie and brown slightly in the oven. Pin Cushion for the Machine. When sewing on the machine one often wastes a lot of time having to look for the pin cushion, which usual ly is under the sewing machine and out of sight. A great time saver is to cut an oblong piece of flannel two in ches by four and at one end cut a hole the size of a pea. Hem all four sides of the flannel neatly, and buttonhole stitch the hole. Slip this over the spindle where the spool belongs be fore the spool is placed on it. You will be able to take pins out of your work and stick them in this piece of flannel without stopping the machine. Stuffed Noodle. One cup cold chicken or veal chop ped fine, one-half cup of cold cooked spinach finely mashed, one onion minced, one slice of bread softened In milk, and a beaten egg, mixed well together, pepper and salt to taste. Make a noodle dough of an egg yolk, pinch of salt, and flour to make a stiff paste, roll thin and cut out with bis cuit cutter; place a teaspoonful of chicken mixture on one side and pinch edges tightly, using a little water to make them stick. Drop them in boiling water and boil ten minutes, and you have a dish fit for a king.. If any of these "stuffed noodles" are left, fry in butter for the next meal. A Seasonable Salad. The ripe eating plums in market now make a delicious salad when com bined with bananas. Cover with pow dered sugar and a little sherry, if it is wanted, and let the fruit stand on ice for an hour before dressing. It is de licious served with whipped cream. finely shredded pinapple, enough to give the whipped cream a flavor makes an excellent blend in place of wine. Avoid Tearing Ham. In cutting meat from hams and shoulders, there is always some good, meat left on the bones, which looks scrappy when cut off. I bought a small tappering saw and now have. nicely snapea, ciean cut. slices Dy saw ing through the bone as I come to it, and there is no waste and there are no scraps left. BACK GAVE OUT. A Typical Case of Kidney Trouble and a Typical Cure. Mrs. Chloe Page of 510 S. Pitt Street. Alexandria, Va., says: "My back hart me ter ribly, I ha4 . sharp, hooting pains, changing to a dull, dragging ache. I could not stand for any length pf time and my back hurt me when I sat down.' My feet and ankles were badly swollen every evening, and my stomach was out of order. Doan's Kidney Pills cured me of these troubles in 1902, and for five years I have had no return."

The bride was Miss1 Flora Weise, a pretty young woman of Tazewell county. The groom wrote to his aunt here. Mrs. Patterson, to put him in com munication with a girl who would make him a good wife, as he was lone ly on his ranch in Colorado. Mrs. Patterson recommended Miss Weise, a neighbor's daughter, and correspond ence was begun. The girl was taken with the ro mance of the affair and when photo graphs were exchanged and proved satisfactory a proposal quickly fol lowed. An acceptance was written and then Kramer came east to claim his bride. The marriage was cele brated the day after his arrival and the couple departed immediately aft erward for Yuma. Denver News. The Dinner Muldoon Serve. A certain Gotham dining establish ment features what it claims to be a replica of the spread regularly served at the White Plains "gym" made fa mous by the recent medicine ball test taken by Secretary of State Elihu Root. Boasting the caption "Mul doon's Vegetable Dinner," the course In detail consists of fried sweet po tato, egg plant, succotash, stewed to matoes, cauliflower, bread and butter. It is said that when the sponsor of this . meal bearing his name was a member of the - "Finest," and was Jocularly known as "Muldoon, the Solid Man," he adhered to the regi men above described. Protecting His Magazines. "While waiting at the doctor's the other day, I picked up a magazine from his table to pass the time," said the man who observes things. "All through the book, on nearly every other page was stamped his name, and it so irritated me that I spoke to him about it. " 'If I didn't fill that magazine up with my name,' he said, 'it wouldn't last ten minutes In this place. Some body would be sure to carry it away. Even as it is, I lose one every 'little while.'" Terrible Fate. There is something which will ap peal to every American in the horror of a fate invoked upon Henry James, Sr., by his son, the novelist, and recorded in the letters of E. I. God- kin. I The young man had been worsted in argument, and exclaimed: "Then may your mashed potatoes always . have lumps in them!" Youth's Companion. A Simple Method. "How do you make the distinction between popular and classical music?" asked the very young man. "Oh, that's easy," answered the dis penser of home-grown philosophy. "It's popular if I enjoy it and it's classical if I don't." Blondes Live Longer. Statistics show that, though fair haired people are as a rule less strong than those who have dark hair, yet the former live longer than the latter. Left-Handed Praise. "I don't seem to hear so many com pliments on my last poem," said the poetess, "as on its illustration. 'You just ought to see it,' they exclaim, 'it is so beautiful!" " "It's the same way with me," put in the artist. "They come and stand before my pictures and sigh and say, 'Oh, what lovely frames you have!'" Giant Boy. Greene county, Pennsylvania, has produced a prodigy in Stanley Wright, its youngest school teacher, who for height and avoirdupois it is believed stands without a peer in the state. Young Wright is a product of Richhill township, and though only 17 years of age, stands 6 feet 7 inches in his hose, weighs 265 pounds and is still grow ing. He wears a No. 18 shoe, which he has made to order. Best Diamond Mine. The Premies is by far the largest and most valuable individual diamond mine ever found in South Africa, and it is probably not an exaggeration to say that 1 tis one of the most valuable mines of any kind ever discovered in the world. It is estimated that when its full pla&j is at work it will make profit at the rate of $9,648,000 a year, the life of the mine on this basis being well over 50 years. Powerful Glass. The great Lick telescope will pick out a star so small that it would re quire 30,000 of them put together to be visibla to the naked eye. THEY WONT SHUT DOORS. And They Will Ride Backward,' Re ports a Traveler of Englishmen. Travelers returning from England tell of two habits of the people of that country which impressed them. One Is the average Englishman's aversion to shutting the door behind him. "I don't know how it is is the Eng lish houses." remarked one who re turned recently from abroad, "for I was not in one of them, but I stayed in a hotel in London where there were a good many English people, and a dozen times daily I had to get up and shut a door to keep the draught away. "It didn't make any difference whether it was a servant or a guest who went through, the door was left open. This was in the spring of the year, too, when the weather was chil ly. I noticed the same thing in rail way coaches and hotels of smaller towns." , The other English peculiarity Is a preference for riding backward on trains. The Englishman will make for the seat with its back to the engine every time, plant himself down in it with every evidence of comfort . and look wonderingly at anybody who picks out a seat facing the direction the train is going. Not once did one American traveling in England see a native choose a seat facing the front of the train unless there were no other seats.
