What a Little Faith Did FOR MRS. ROCKWELL. [LETTER TO MRS. PINKHAU NO. 69,884] "I was a great sufferer from female weakness and had no strength. It was impossible for me to attend to my household duties. I had tried every thing and many doctors, but found no relief. •'My sister advised me to try Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound, which I did; before using all of one bottle I felt better. I kept on with it and to my great surprise I am cured. All who suffer from female complaints should give it a trial."— MßS. ROCK WELL, 1209 S. DIVISION ST., GRAND RAFIDS, MICH. From a Grateful Newark Woman. "When I wrote to you I was very sick, had not been well for two years. The doctors did not to help me, and one said I could not live three months. I had womb trouble, falling, ulcers, kidney and bladder trouble. There seemed to be such a drawing and burning pain in my bowels that I could not rest anywhere. After using Lydia E. PinklKim's Vegetable Com pound and Sanative Wash and follow ing your advice, I ftfel well again and stronger than ever. My bowels feel as if they had been made over new. With many thanks for your help, I remain, L. G., 74 ANN ST., NEWARK, N. J." ~ ORDINARY CIVILITY. The Advantages and Pleasures ol It as Elucidated by Mr. Gobbleby. "I should recommend as an investment," raid Mr. Gobbleby, "the practice of civility. As a matter of fact, 1 don't suppose that a very great number of men have suddenly be come wealthy through this means; that is, I don't suppose that a large number of very rich people have left fortunes to men who had been at one time or another polite to them, but I don't doubt, either, that there have been just such cases, and 1 don't for a moment doubt that substantial advantages have often accrued to men through their consistent civility. "Hut aside from any question of material profit (though there is still always the chance of that involved in it) 1 should say that the exercise of civility would pay for another reason. There are lots of people who like civil treatment, who are, in fact, really pleased by it, and though we might not get anything in dollars and cents out of civility extended in this way toward people in general, yet I should say it would pay, lor we should get from it. at least, the pleasure that is always to be derived from affording pleasure to others. "So 1 should say that from whatever point of view we look at it, yvility is a good in vestment: we are to get something out of it, anyway, and it doesn t cost us a cent." —N. Y. Sun. Wise Hen. A duck which had faithfully stuck to busi ness during the summer and laid several dozens of large fawn-colored eggs com plained that she wasn't appreciated. "See that hen over there," said the duck, "she hasn't laid as many eggs as 1 have, nor as big, but she has books written about her and verses composed in her honor, while nobody is saying a word about me." "The trouble with you is," said a wise rooster that was standing near, "that you don't tell the pub lic what you have done. You lay an rgg and waddle off without saying a word, but that sister of mine never lays one without letting everybody in the neighborhood know it. If you want to cut any ice in this community you must learn tu advertise."—Boyee's Hus tler. A Left-Handed Admission. Three citizens —one a lawyer, one a doctor and one a newspaper man—sat in a back room recently in the gray light of the early dawn. On the table were many empty bot tles and a couple of packs ot cards. As they sat in silence a rat scurried across the hearth into the darkness beyond. The three men shifted their feet and looked at each other uneasily. Alter a long pause the lawyer spoke. "1 know what you fellows are think ing," he said; "you think I thought 1 saw a rat, but I didn't!"— Chicago Inter Ocean. An lilea. Fenderson has got an idea. He says he knows now why salt codfish is salt. Because it conies from the salt water. It is more than he can understand, however, why all the other salt water fish are not salt.—Bos ton Transcript.

The American girl can be saved by proper physical training from becom ing the American woman with nerves, says an authority on physical culture in the New York World. "This physical training should begin during the earlier days of child hood. Take a girl at her fifth birth day and teach her to run slowly, with erect carriage, as far as she can with comfort every secular day until she reaches her majority. Suppose by 1j she ran as far as she could with com fort in ten minutes, would it trouble her much at IS, or at 21, to run a mile, at a good pace, too? "Is it not likely that even several miles under favorable circumstances — for instance, in a hare-and-hounds game —would not disturb her? Had she been taught to run properly, never touching her heels to the ground, and springing lightly from her toes and sole, to hold her arms practically mo tionless, her chest high as near her chin as she could get it, and keep it there —do you think that the muscles she used in running through all these years would be weak? Would she have half-developed lungs or well-developed ones? Would the muscles which held her body erect be easily up to their work, and would it be natural for her to be erect, or not? "Looking at the girl so trained, do we not recall Emerson's saying that 'ln all human action those faculties will be strong which are used?' She has been intelligently using certain parts of her body and limbs for many years; not violently, not overdoing them, but rationally. "This built them up and made them strong, precisely as it did for her broth er. who ran with her in all these daily stretches. Her most important muscle, her heart—thus, also, trained to strong, steady, sensible, but never violent, daily exercise—gained steadily in quality, strength and endurance. In short, she has an educated heart, educated lungs, educated limbs." THE CLOTHES CASE. A New-Fanjffled Piece of riirnitnre Which Is to Take Ilit' Place of the Old Closet. The architects nre puzzled. They have never been able to put enough closets into a new house to satisfy the women. Now the women want no clos ets at all. They have suddenly discovered that English houses never have closets. I ft -f j USEFUL PIECE OF FURNITURE. Clothes cases and wardrobes are used instead. A new article of bedroom furniture is called a clothes case. This takes the place of the bureau or dresser. Instead of having each drawer separate, like | boxes, half of the front opens upward I and the other half drops, forming a shelf. The clothing is distributed in I shallow sliding compartments open in j front and drawn out by the edges. These cases are made to order, in | small or large slides, shallow or deep, j as one may desire. The convenience is j obvious, u.-s the articles have separate compartments, and are not in such j danger of being wrinkled frr having ! piles of heavy clothing on t&p. These trays are made of p.aiti wood to match the outside of the case, or covered with linen, or padded with scented silk pads. There are long trays for the skirts, short ones for the waists and little ones for the collars, ribbons, etc.. with some cubby-holes for fans, j gloves and handkerchiefs. The panels of the upper half of the i front of the one shown was latticed | with ribbons to hold veils and other j light articles. When closed it latched ! and locked with one key in the middle and the outside of the front was ar ranged in beautifully carved panels in tended to match afi especially designed chamber set.—N. V. World. Pearls of Great Price. The finest pearl necklace in the world Is said to be that of Countess Ilenekel, a well-known lady in Paris society. It is composed of three necklaces, each of which was famous in its day. One of them, known as "the necklace of the Virgin of Atoka." was sold to the coun tess by a Spanish grandee for C 12,000. Another was the property of the ex queen of Naples, the sister of the late ill-fated empress of Austria. The third was the celebrated necklace of ex-Km pr ess Eugenie, which was worn by her 011 state occasions and which was sold not long ago by a firm of London jewel ers tor £20,000. The value of Countess HenckePs necklace at the present time is estimated at £ 50,000. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JUI.Y 13, 1899 FOR THE CHATELAINE. A Glimpse In the Up-to-Date Glrl'» Jewelry llox Show* Jinny Pretty Ornament*. One needs only to take a passing glance into the jewel box of the up to-date girl to see that her jewelry forms no small part of the beautiful belongings of her wardrobe. For morning and afternoon wear there are beautiful stick pins of every imaginable shape wrought in every conceivable material. Where one can, CHATELAINE BAUBLES. however, afford to "'.ave the stones cor respond in color ,o the object which the pin is intended to represent the result is doubly effective. Chatelaines, which are not out ol place upon informal evening gowns, have one surprisingly unique feature — they are miniatured. In the center of the bar is a miniature, and upon each side of it are miniatures of a smallei size. Each is surrounded with a wreath of enameled flowers. To correspond with the chatelaine, there is a small watch enameled in dec orative design which is held in plact upon the corsage with a fleur delis incrusted pin with precious stones. TREATMENT OF WOUNDS. Some Simple Instruction* Wlileb 'Every Mother Should ton - Mtuntly Hear In Mind. Severe cuts and wounds need mosl careful treatment, or blood poisoninp may follow. Careful dressing o ( wounds will often prevent very bad scars. Over a punctured wound place a pad, which must be removed if in flammation ensues to allow the dis charge to escape. A wound caused by a rusty nail or a similar substance should be cut to favor the escape oi blood or foreign matter which may be left in the wound. Water that has been boiled and pieces of old linen are always the best to use in dressing cuts or wounds. On no account use a piece of unwashed calico for this pur pose. Rolls of old linen and adhesive plaster should always be at hand where therearechildren. Cleansethe cut from blood, dirt and all foreign matter, then bring the edges of the wound togethei and apply diagonally several strips oi adhesive plaster, pressing each firmly to the skin. When cotton wool is ap plied medicated cotton only should be used. CORRECT SUMMER FAN. Sometlilnjt Entirely Jiew, llut Ah*o lutely UseleHN, In the llreezy I.lttle Toilet Accessory. The fashionable new fans forcibly re mind one of spring muffs —they are on U for show. In these days when the old fashioned palmetto is looked upon with horror, the proper sumjner fan is th» one which is covered with thin silk oi gauzy material, elaborately embroid ered and very often hand-painted. Here is a model to delight the fanej of the most fastidious. The frame is DAINTY FAN DESIGN. covered with heliotrope spangled tulle and the sticks are of light oriental wood profusely carved. Sewed over the tulle upon both sides are swirling designs in genuine cut steel. The edge is bor dered with a frill of the spangled tulle finished with a delicate metal tracery Such a fan makes a costly addition tc nn evening toilet, as the glittering re flections of the cut steel look like dia monds as the fan is wafted to and fro. Stnnd Ip to Kit ft Shoe. "People would find less difficulty with ready-made shoes," said the experi enced salesman, "if they would stand up to fit them on instead of sitting down. Xine persons out of ten, partic ularly women, wajit a eomfortabU eliair while they are fitting a shoe, anc it is with the greatest difficulty you car get them to stand for a few minutes even after the shoe is fitted. Then when they begin walking about thej wonder why the shoes are not so com fortnble as they were at first trial. A woman's foot is considerably Mnallei when sin* sits in a chair than when slit walks about. Exercise brings a larpei quantity of blood into the feet, and the.' swell appreciably. The muscles, alsc require certain space. In buying short this fact should be borne in mind." A Simple SprlnK Medicine. Mix three ounces of citrate of mag nesia, three ounces of cream of tartar three ounces of loaf sugar, two ouncei of Epsom salts, 1 % ounces of tartarii acid and two ounces of carbonate o: soda with two quarts of boiling watei Take a wineglass before breakfast. '•< PS9B UTILIZING DOG POWER. Hon the Collie Mny lie Mode to l!nrn More TIIIIII 111M Suit Around the Uairy. Your correspondent who wishes a power in which to work his collie dog will find that one made like the illus tration will fill the bill. I used two dif ferent dogs in this power, then sold it, and the new purchaser is still using it and separates his milk, churns the but ter and pumps the water for his stock with a collie dog. The power consists essentially of two iron rods with a pul ley at each end and rubber belts run- DOG POWER IN OPERATION. A, Detached lag; b, the Power; c, the Churn nine on the pulleys. Itivet slats (called lags) to these belts for the dog to work on. There must be but one rivet at each end of the lag and this in the mid dle. At each end of the lag a small piece, say an inch or less sqrare and six inches long, must be fastened to the lags as a bridge to keep them from sagging under the weight of the dog. Two rivets or clinch nails are needed to hold these bridges firm. Each al ternate lag must have these strips set. inaninch so they will lap past each oth er and rest on a lag on each side. Three or four small rollers or wheels are needed under each end of the lag where the dog treads, as seen in the illustra tion. The connection with churn, sep arator or other machine can be made by "tumbling rod" connection, as illus trated. or by a belt on the band wheel. The lags may be a half-inch thick and four or five inches wide. As the pitch may need adjusting to furnish the power needed for different kinds of work, it is well to hang the rear end by siraps so the elevation can be changed at will. —Orange Judd Farmer.
