of military and naval officers at the seat

Beems impossible When a blockade of the

Stomach Bitters which also cures indiges
tion malaria rheumatism and kidney
trouble
Trees and Tides
A very curious theory lately revived
Is that the sap of a living tree ebbs and
flows in some -way in sympathy with
the titles of the ocean The idea comes
from Italy -where a grower of vines
and other fruit trees whris also a
chemist hat been experimenting in this
direction He says that no tree should
be lopped or pruned except during the
hours of ebb tide He has taken four
teen years to come to this conclusion
and bow always acts upon it The re
sult is his trees and vines have devel
oped beautiful foliage bear splendid
crops and are quite free from the at
tacks of the insects which devastate
surrounding properties

Built an Eccentric House
An eccentric carpenter In Alexan
dria some years ago says an old
timer erected a three story dwelling
by constructing the roof first and set
high up on the corner posts He did
this to have protection from the weath
er as he worked downward This was
looked on as a novel way to workv but
in ante bellum days the third story of a
budiiig in the northern part of Wash
ington which had served as parlor dining-room
and kitchen became the
upper chambers of a comfortable dwell
ing The owner had built on a hill of
red gravel and after he had lived in bis
little house a few months there came a
demand for gravel by the street con
tractors lie therefore disposed of the
earth beneath his house and by careful
ly shoriug up kept his little home intact
and built up to it the proceeds from his
bank of gravel being sufficient to pay
for quite a handsome improvement
It TYould Be War Here
The vendetta is a terrible institu
tion remarked the man who had been
reading a novel I am very glad thai
it could not possibly gain a foothold in
this country
Of course the American tempera
ment could not tolerate such thing
And moreover supposing a man
named Smith were to have a difficulty
with a man named Brown or Robinson
just look in the city directory and see
how many families would be involved
It wouldnt be any vendetta It would
be a war

Wheres My Hat
I know a boy and know him well
Of whom this tale there is to tell
That always when hes going out
By day or night youll hear him shout
Oh wheres my hatV
There is a hat stand near the stair
Youd think hed hang his hat up there
Or on the rack behind the door
But no it seems hed rather roar
Where is my hat
Each morning when the school bell rings
Oh how he shakes up rugs and things
And rummages in drawers and shelves
And makes his sisters stir themselves
To find his hat
And when his comrades to the gate
Come whistling loud and games await
And sides are called and time is scant
Hed like to go but oh he cant
For wheres his hat
My boy who smile the while you read
Is this a lesson you should heed
Can it be you who skip and fly
And hunt and hustle as you cry
Whos got my hat

Bread Raiser
Get two boxes one big enough to
hold your bread pan and a milk pan
underneath it the other eight inches
larger every way Take off the coyers
and fasten the small box inside the
large one Stuff the space between with
sawdust and cover it Turn the boxes
so the door will be on one side Make
a door to fit tbe large box and pad it
heavily with sawdust and put it on
with hinges Put a shelf in to set the
bread pan on high enough to slip a
milk pan underneath On a cold night
set your bread sponge in slip a covered
pan of hot water underneath and your
bread will be light in the morning
When you knead your bread heat the
water again On a warm night use
warm water This does away with all
wrapping up of the bread Mabel

Care of the Kitchen
Some women can prepare a meal and
keep the kitchen in order all the time
The utensils may be dirty and need
washing but they will have an orderly
look about them and when the time
comes to wash the dishes there will be
no muss or confusion Other kitchens
are a total wreck after a meal has been
prepared Things are tumbled about
and appear to have been thrown to
gether by a young earthquake The
great secret of good housekeeping is
keeping things neat and in order Any
chit of a girl can put things in order
but it takes a grown woman with a
great and level head to keep things in
order and have work go on at the same
time
Swinjr for Children
In giving hints to farmers and house
wives we should not forget our little
ones The following is a description
of a very nice and safe swing for the
children one that will please and cost
but little Make two common rope
swings on posts five feet apart then
take a board 1 inch thick and 12 inch
es wide put ends of plank through the
rope swings and drive small staples
on each side of board underneath and
over the rope to fasten board in place
With this arrangement you have a
swing that can be enjoyed by six or
more little ones at once and is not dan
gerous like the single swing Mrs Ju

WOMEN IN BUSINESS
From the Free Press Letrrit JiLcJi
A prominent business man recently ex
pressed the opinion that thero is one thing
will prevent women from completely fill
ing mans place in the business world
they cant be depended upon because they
are sick too often This is refuted by
Mrs C W Mansfield a business woman
of 08 Farrar street Detroit Mich who
says A complication of female ailments
kept me awake nights and wore me out
I could get no relief from medicine and
hope was slipping away from me A young
lady in my employ gave me a box of Dr
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People I
took them and was able to rest at night
for the first time in months I bought
more and took them and they cured mc
as they also cured several other people to
my knowledge I think that if you should
ask any of the druggists of Detroit who
are the best buyers of Dr Williams Pink
Pills they would say the young women
These pills certainly build up the nervous
system and many a young woman owes
her life to them As a business woman I
am pleased
t o recom
mend them
as they did
more for
m e than
any physi
cian and
