A Scrap of Paper Saves Her Life.
It was just an ordinary scrap of wrapping
paper , but it saved her life. She was in the
last stages of consumption , told by physicians
that she was incurable and could live only a
short time ; she weighed less than seventy
pounds. On a piece of wrapping pacer she
read of Dr. King's New Discovery , and got a
sample bottle ; it helped her , she bought a
large bottle , it helped her more , bought
another and grew better fast , continued its
use and is now strong , healthy , rosy , plump ,
weighing 140 pounds. For fuller particulars

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
35-4t. By Geo. W. Roper , County Clerk.
Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoria ?
UNIQUE 8OARF-PIN .
Gaovxs , the playwright
and author of "Our Boarding Horue , "
wean a scarf-pin made of three suicide
bullets.
THB rattlesnake rattle pin of ArtbW
Wftllack has been seen by everybody
who is acquainted with him. There are
four buttons and a rattle.
BABOX HUPMAW is very fond of a fac
simile of the student cap worn by his
corps in Heidelberg. The Baron won
the pin from his corps in a saber duel.
CHARLES STEVENSON , husband of Kate
Claxton , wears an amethyst face with
pearl edgings , which was presented to
him by members of the Lamb's Club.
H. M. SLATEB would not part with
the little splinter of a gun barrel which
he carried in his side for years and now
wears in his tie for any sum of money.
JULIUS NATHAN wears a diamond
rooster , and he has been known to re
mark that it glittered on good financial
days and appeared dim when money
was tight.
Y. M. ONDERDONK , known as young
Mr. Onderdonk , wears a pair of crossed
sabers. They are made of porcupine
quills , and each has a basket hilt of
woven gold.
CECIL BABRINGTON is very proud of a
cameo in jasper and beryl , an odd com
bination which George Montague , late
Viscount Mandeville and now Duke of
Manchester , gave him.
CHARLEY JENKINS , ex-commodore of
the Larchmont Yacht Club , wears in his
neck-tie a green carbuncle which he
brought from Burmah , where he spent
nearly two years. The stone is valua
ble and unique.
Crro. ONATIVIA , who poses as Berry
Wall's successor in the dudeship
kingdom , wears three pink pearls on a
circle of gold. The pin is rich looking
and its owner clzfims that the proverbial
good luck of pink pearls has followed it.
J. G. B. THUMMEL-CLOETE , a journalist
who was with the French in Tonquin ,
was shot by a Chinese soldier and part
of his splintered shoulder was extracted
by the surgeon. He wears his shoulder
blade on his breast , where , gold
mounted , it shines in his black scarf.
THE WIFE'S ALLOWANCE.
MRS. HARRISON thinks every woman
should be allowed some settled amount
for her household as well as her per
sonal expenses.
MRS. SENATOR SPOONER doesn't be
lieve in a regular allowance and dislikes
keeping accounts. She prefers to bo al
lowed all the money she needs and no
questions asked.
MRS. JUSTICE FIELD is positive in her
views that every woman should be al
lowed a regular income , without which ,
she asserts , there can be no real domes-
tie comfort.
MRS. ATTORNEY-GENERAL MILLER con
siders the question one of vital impor
tance , and declares that more than half
of our unhappy marriages are the direct
result of this neglect.
MRS. SENATOR MANDERSON considers
that the importance of trusting a wife
with a regular sum , according to the
means of the individual , is too obvious
to be considered for a moment.
MRS. SENATOR DOLPH thinks that the
wife who receives a regular allowance
is more economical , and that the hus
band can better calculate his yearly ex
penses , thereby benefitting both.
"No WOMAN should be compelled or
expected to ask her husband for every
cent she spends , " declares Mrs. Robert
P. Porter , wife of the census commis
sioner. "It puts her in a false and
humiliating position. "
"By all means , " says Mrs. William
W. Morrow , wife of Representative
Morrow , "should women possess an
annual allowance. How can a wife
keep things running smoothly unless
she knows just what she has to depend
upon ? "
THE DEAR PRINCE.
THE Princess of Wales is forty-nine
years old and wears a number sis shoe.
THE Prince of Wales has a cabinet
containing copies of every style of pho
tograph ever taken of himself.
THE private correspondence of the
Prince of Wales is something enormous.
He is said to receive four tunes as many
letters a day as does the President of
the United States.
PERHAPS it is not generally known
that the Prince of Wales is a collector
of dogs. He is very fond of the canine
tribe , and , among others , possesses some
dogs with black tongues.
THE Sandringham parties given by
the Prince of Wales are of two kinds.
Grave and reverend personages are in
vited from Saturday until Monday ,
while royalties and members of the
Marlborough house "set" come from
Monday until Saturday.
THE English dinner-hour has been
getting later during the whole of the
present century. When the Queen mar
ried it was seven o'clock. She now
dines at nine. The Prince of Wales' ef
fort to turning it back to half past seven
is supplemented by an appeal for danc
ing to begin at nine , to be finished at
one.
EFFICACIOUS REMEDIES.
FOR nausea , lay a little pounded ice
on the back of the neck.
FOB an aching tooth , saturate a piece
of cotton with ammonia and lay it on
the tooth.
IT is reported that a diet of fresh
sweet buttermilk has been often found
favorable , and even effectual , to the
cure of Bright's disease.
FOB stomach worms in a child , mix
one teaspoonful of powdered sage in
two tablespoonfuls of molasses , and
give a teaspoonful every morning.
THE milk and pulp of the cocoanut
are such uninviting food to the tape
worm that when a man lives upon
them for awhile , Mr. Worm gets dis
gusted and quits. So says Prof. Paresi ,
of Athens.
A VERY good substitute for castor oil ,
for use in young children , is the
aromatic syrup of rhubarb. This con-
tarns about one-half as much rhubarb
as the aromatic tincture. The dose of
the aromatic syrup is one teaspoonful
for a child about one year old.
