Budding womanhood ripens into marriage hereabouts, in spite of hard times, in the usual order of ccremon lal solemnity. But the divorce mill is also grinding at the county seat, and the ceremonial assumes a decorum less enviable, because "they twain" are no longer one flesh, and single bliss again crowns the once happy pair. Marriage and divorce often make people happy twice. G. W. Howell of Van Camp has retired from active business. We have never yet heard him called "the old man," but such he is, since he will be 74 years old next September. He has always been known by the familiar name of "George."

PI How many wo men do you know who are struggling along with burdens they were not meant to bear be cause their husbands have "lost their health?" A man's health is an easy thing to lose. A little care and the right medicine make it easy to regain lost health. Neglected disease breeds death. Over work, expos ure, wrong eating, wrong living generally may engender disease. Symptoms vary, but by far the majority of diseases are marked by a loss of vitality, a wasting of flesh. The lungs and the stomach suffer. Disease - germs enter the system through these two or gans. Recovery means driving out the germs and building up strong, healthy tissues. The medicine that will do it quickest and most thor oughly is the medicine to take. That medicine is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It searches out disease-germs wher ever they exist and exterminates them. It is a powerful, invigorat ing tonic. It promotes digestion, creates appetite, cures biliousness and all liver, kidney and stomach disorders, and so all blood dis eases. All medicine dealers. AEOLIAN WIND HARP. Anybody t'aa Make Oae ( Theae Chart. Ing Mualrat laatramenta. Aeolus, the god of the windn, claimed thts wind harp as his own, but alnoe he never obt.lucl a patent on his Instru ment there Is no law against appropriat ing his Invention. Its construction is very simple, and wtih a little care an instrument can be produced whose tiiu alo is far more sweet than the door harps now so common. To make a wind harp procure a box made of t hin, well-seasoned wood pine preferred about four Inches high and six incites wide. Cut a circular hole In the top and sandpaper the rough edjren. This is your sounding hoard. JJiiT YOUR TnE WIRD HARP. Across each end of the box and on top fasten a slat of oak or some other very hard wood, a quarter of an inch wide. In one of these slats drive seven flat headed tacks equidistant from each other, and in the other slat fix the same number of twisting screws, such as are used on banjos. From these stretch your strings, which should be all of the some size and of catgut. The "G'' gui tar string will be found the best for this purpose. Now tune all the strings in unison, and the harp is completed. It is, however, well to add a reflector to throw out the sound. This Is easily ac complished by placing a thin board above the box, supporting it on sticks fitting Into rests, which are glued in the corners of the box. The reflector also answers as a shield to prevent in Jury to the harp. Place the harp in a current of air, as upon the sill of a half open widow. The sound produced by the wind passing over the strings as It rises and fallfe is of a drowsy, lulling character and ex tremely melodious. N. Y. Recorder. AN ANIMAL ROMANCE. Friendships and Quarrel! of s Rabbit, a Cat and a Doj. Last summer Orrin Whiting, who lives near WoodsvUle, N. J., caught a rabbit in a box trap, took it home and made a pet of it. Whiting had a cat and a dog, and after a few preliminaries the three animals became warmly at tached to one another. As the weeks went by it was noticed that the rabbit had taken a great fancy to the cat. The two were together nearly all the time. Before the rabbit appeared at the Whiting home the cat and dog had been close companions, and the dog evidently didn't enjoy hav ing the affections of the cat alienated, for he took occasion frequently to pick the rabbit tip by the back and give it a lively shaking up. Eventually it came to the point where the cat refused to have anything to do with the dog. She devoted her whole time to the rabbit. The dog grew moody and kept away from his former companions as much As possible, until one day he came across the cat and the rabbit enjoying a gambol out in the lot back of the house. His temper got the best of him, and he sailed into the rabbit as if he intended to wind up its existence then and there. He had not gone far with the job when the cat leaped in. She jumped on the back of her old friend and began to claw out hair at a rate that at once engaged the dog's atten tion. There was a short battle between the two, which resulted in a badly torn skin for the dog, and, with his tail be tween his legs, he finally left the field. That night the cat and the rabbit dis appeared. A thorough search of the .yard w as made for them, but they could aiot be found, and Whiting came to the conclusion that it was a case of elope meat, pure and simple. The dog be came very despondent, and for several days refused to eat, but eventually his spirits improved and he was himself again, but he never could be induced to sleep in the bed out in the woodshed where he and the cat had rested to gether for many months. One morning when Whiting went to the woodshed to get kindling he was amazed to And the place swarming with rabbits. The rabbit law was off, and euch one of the animals had a market value of 15 cents. He quickly closed the woodshed door, and, picking up a stick of -wood, started in to slaughter the rabbits, which had huddled together in a corner of the room. He raised the club and was about to crock a rabbit on the head, when, to his astonishment, the cat that hnd disappeared weeks be fore sprang at him from the shadow and made a show of fight. Whiting looked the nnimnls over and discovered among them the. old rabbit that hnd run away with the cat. The cat did her best to make up her qunrrel with the dog, but he wouldn't have it. He spurned nil ndvances and kept as far as possible fiom her. Two days after the return if the cat Whiting killed all the rabbit and sold them. There were 17 of them, including the original pet. With the old rubbit out of the way there was nothing to prevent the cnt and dog from renewing their friendship. This they did, and they are now as warm friends as ever. N. Y. Sun.

The simplicity of childhood is one of the sweetest things in the world, but sometimes it is ImpoBslbla not to smile at its manifestations. t Little Hetty was at her first evening entertainment, where everybody was strange to her. Hue grew homesick, and with tears in her eyB begged her hostess to send her home. As she was starting, a smile shone through her tears and she said : "Good-by, Mrs. Smif.

Mrs. Ilorer says that crockery booki and cooks always give directions foi winter wheat flour, and that two cupi of this are equal to one and a half of the flour made from spring wheat, and consequently, If the latter is used th result Is by no means what is desired. Oil stoves and gas stoves should nevei be kept burning In a sleeping room, foi they are burned In the open air of the room, and, having no connection with a chimney flue, they throw the polsonoui carbonic oxide of combustion Into th air of the apartment and make It unfit for respiration. Even an oil lamp if dangerous tf left burning all night, but an oil stove Is worse, because stovef generally feed more flame, consume more of the oxygen and give off mora poisonous gas.

In describing how they should be plunged first into boiling water, then Into cold water, and then parboiled twenty minutes, Mrs. Rorer recently spoke of the necessity for cool ing them quickly when taken off the Are. She advised pouring cold water over them repeatedly until chilled when they should at once be placed in the Ice box.
