AN EXCELLENT IDEA.
Bow to Eitrmporlie an Aquarium
Tbat la Capable of Affording Lola
of Entertainment.
A globe with goldfish makes a very
attractive ornament for a room, but
globes and goldfish are not always
available, and so the extemporized
aquarium outlined herewith may be
vised to great advantage. It is one
of the great bottles that can be pur
chased for a few cents at a drug
gist's. Get one that holds about two
gallons, and put some clean sand in
the bottom with a few mossy stones,
and anchor in the sand a few plants

from some nearby brook. From the j
eame brook can be secured snails, tad- j
poles, salamanders and the tiny black
nosed dace. Here is an aquarium at
almost no cost that is capable of af
fording a great deal of entertainment,
and not a little instruction.
When the plants are growing nicely,
giving off oxygen and feeding upon the
carbonic acid gas in the water, the lat
ter need not be changed oftener than
once a week, unless too much animal
life is introduced into the water. A lit
tle experience will show just how
many inmates of the aquarium the
plants will "balance."—Webb Donnell,

BREAKFASTING IN BED.
A Practice llluhly Recommended In
Many taocn of Servoan Com
plaint end Eihuuillon.
When the ordinary woman tells of
taking her breakfast in bed she tells
It apologetically. The statement is
in the nature of a confession. And
for that reason we have come to as
aoeiate with the practice named a
spirit of laziness.
To the woman who has her coffee
or chocolate and rolls brought to her I
before she arises there is solid sat- i
isfaction in the news that a good |
many New York physicians are grad- j
ually committing themselves to the
liabit. In fact, they advise break
fasting in bed in many cases of nerv
ous complaint.
The idea seems to be that rest is
the agency most necessary to bring
about a return of health in nervous
temperaments. The woman who
worries over her household affairs
and suddenly finds herself on the
Terge of a breakdown is the woman
to whom the rest cure is being pre
eeribed. The doctors do not tell her
to entirely discontinue her work
around the house. As a matter of
fact, they assure her that such a
cessation would do her more harm
than good. Therefore she is advised
to ease up a bit in her daily labors;
to do a greatly reduced part of her
work.
In addition to this she is counseled
to take much sleep. "Goto bed at
nine o'clock," say some physicians,
"and do not get up until after break
fast. Have your maid bring the break
fast tray into your bedroom; eat
grain foods and drink plenty of milk.
It is a general rule to drink three
quarts of milk a day. Eat a little
meat, if you wish to, but take it in
the middle of the day, giving it plen
ty of time to be digested. Get out
in the open air and walk about a bit,
but do not tire yourself by overex
ertion. Take a short time off twice
a day and resign 3-ourself to rest."
This isn't a very complicated pro
scription, but it at least has the merit
of simplicity.—Kansas City Times.
OUR LITTLE SISTER IN THE EAST.
THE Japanese woman is the brightness
and charm of the Sunrise kingdom.
Sweet oi face is she, of a gentle disposi
tion and childlike heart.
She is truly the lady of the house; read
ing some, writing a little, playing upon their
ewcet musical instruments, painting and
embroidering to her heart's content, pre
siding at tea parties end cultivating flow
ers.
The dress of the Japanese, says the Na
tional Rural, is beautiful and comfortable
and very dainty and becoming to the doll
like women and girls. Rich, splendidly em
broidered and lovely; colored eilks, is what
RUNS A MEAT MARKET.
I'iiqnr Dnolßrtu Vrnfnrr of a Roeh
eater <>. Y.) Girl Who Had to
Earn a. Living.
Rochester furnishes a unique ex
ample of the modern woman. She
is Miss D. E. Stevenson, who has
opened a butcher shop at the cor
ner of Plymouth avenue and Grieg
streets, and has succeeded in estab
lishing 1 one of the leading retail
meat stores of the city.
Miss Stevenson does all the reg
ular work of a butcher except the
slaughtering, and in order to com
plete her education is even willing
to attempt that. She does all her
own buying, cutting, weighing, etc.,
attends to tlie selling at the store
and keeps her own books. She has
only one employe, a lad who delivers
the orders.
The fair knight of the saw and
cleaver is a modest, unassuming lit
tle woman, 28 years of age, slightly
below the average height and with
a physique not at all notable for
robustness.
She comes of an excellent family,
has pood social connections and has
had the advantage of a first-class
education, 'iact, rare administrative
powers and a splendid conversational
faculty has been the main factor in
her success in this novel enterprise.
The aristocratic friends who knew
Miss Stevenson in the days when she
never gave a thought to the possibil
ity of having to earn her own living
have not deserted her, now that
changed conditions have forced her
into business. Instead, they have ral
lied to her support, and as a conse
quence the charming butcher not
only enjoys the patronage of the best
and wealthiest families of Rochester,
but she is also a welcome guest at
their homes.
Winter and summer she is always
to be found at the store; she herself
opens up in the morning, in winter
time at 6:30 and in summer at si*
o'clock. She dons a dainty white
apron, takes up her place behind the
counter and from morn till night
busies herself catering to the wants
of her various customers.
She wields a cleaver and uses a
saw and knife with all the strength
and facility of a man. In a rush it
is amusing to watch her at work.
She is full of bustle, activity and de
cision, and every action denotes the
utmost confidence.
"I suppose it is a rather unusual

Is not the American woman, with her
loose flowing jackets, soft lacy sleeves,
graceful jackets, and her bows, girdles and
beautiful sashes, imitating somewhat her
little sister in the east?
The little lady asleep on the floor has
probably been entertaining some company
at an afternoon tea, and now that they are
gone she is lying down in her sweet, clean
room for a little rest.
Our American women, with their com

MOST PERFECT FOOD.
Milk Contain! All the Ingredients
Necfiiary for the Well Relng of
the Human Org;anlani,
Milk is the most perfect food known,
•nd the only substance provided by
nature that contains all the necessary
ingredients for supplying the various
constituents required in the human or
ganism. No other single article of
food approaches it in this respect, and
upon no other substance can life be
6n 'ained for so long a period as upon
n. c. The first demand of the infant
is for milk, but the child is too often
brought to a realization of the deceit
fulness of human nature by being com
pelled to accept as a substitute a wa
tered combination which gorges the
Stomach, but affords little nourish
ment.
Milk, to the infant, is in every re
spect the staff of life. In old age there
is no other article of food upon which
so much reliance can be placed to sus
tain the diminishing strength of the
▼ital forces. Bread has long been re
garded as the staff of life, but it falls
far short in fulfilling the requirements
of human economy, when compared
with milk, though it supplies many of
tlie demands of nutrition in a pleasant
and palatable form.
The use of milk is coincident with
the earliest history of man, and for
centuries was one of the principal
articles of food. When the children of
Israel were let out of bondage in Egypt
to Canaan, "a land flowing with milk
and honey," only milk was promised;
bread was not on the bill of fare. The
use of milk as a food is universal; it
is demanded by people all over the
civilized world, therefore its care and
protection against impurities and
adulterants, by which' it is accident
ally or intentionally contaminated, re
quires stringent regulations on the
part of the authorities.—N. Y. Weekly.
Grape for LOIIK Keeping.
The Vergennes grape, one of the
best long keeping varieties, is also
superior in size, quality, beauty and
vigor of vine. It is one of the va
rieties of best quality, always ripens
perfectly in central Ontario and is
eatable before it is quite ripe or fully
colored. It is an extremely valuable
grape for long keeping and can be
kept in an open basket until mid
winter in a cool, dry room. I have
kept thf-un in perfect condition
packed in sawdust until Easter, for
many years. Color red, berry and
bunches very large and compact,
enormously productive, vine vigor
ous and hardy if not overloaded.—
W. Wamock, in Farm and Home,
IF every one in the world were healthy and happy what a glad day Easter would
1 be. But the sun rises every Easter morning on a multitude of sick and af
flicted. The Easter lilies gladden the hearts of the sick and well alike.
But to the sick something more than the Easter lily is necessary to bring that
hope and cheer which every one expects on Easter day. The well need no physi
cian, but the sick need a remedy.
Nearly one-half the people in the United States are suffering from some form
or phase of catarrhal ailment. These ailments take different forms at different
seasons of the year. In the springtime catarrh assumes a systemic form, pro
ducing nervousness, lassitude and general languor.
Systemic catarrh deranges the digestion and through deranged digestion it
impoverishes or contaminates the blood. Thus we have blood diseases and ner
vous derangements through systemic catarrh.
Peruna is a specific for these cases. No other remedy yet devised by the
medical profession is able to successfully meet so many phases of spring ail
ments as Peruna.
Men and women everywhere are praising Peruna as follows:
A First Class Tonic.
Wm. A. Collier, Assistant Paymas
ter U. S. N., writes: '•I have taken
Peruna and recommend It to those
needing a first-class tonic."
A Great Tonic.
Hon. M. C. Butler, Ex-U. S. Senator
and Ex-Oovernor of South Carolina,
writes from Edgefield, S. C.: "I have
been using Peruna for a short period
and I feel very much relieved. It Is In
deed a wonderful medicine and besides
a great tonic."
Splendid for the Nerves.
Robert B. Mantell, the famous actor,
writes from New York City: "Peruna
is splendid and most invigorating—
refreshing to the nerves and body."
For General Debility.
Hon. Jno. V. Wright, of the Law
Department, General Land Office of
Tennessee, writes: "I wish every
one who Is suffering with general
debility or prostration could know of
Peruna." j

Importance of Hair.
"It's wonderful," says Uncle Jasper,
"what a little bit of hair will do for a per
son. Now, there was Hank Kidley. When
Hank was a young feller he was the most
gawky lookin' chap I ever saw. His hair
growed away down nearly to his eyebrows,
and they wan't nothin' much but a kind of
a hollow place where you'd natchelly 'spose
his chin ought to been. Well, Hunk's kind
of bald-headed now, and since he's raised
whiskers you can't see but what he's got
just as much chin as the next man. Five
years ago, before his hair began to fall out,
and when the barber never thought of a.skin
him if he wanted a shave. Hunk was workin'
for S4O a month in a railroad office and get
tin' looked down on by everybody around
the place. Now, where do you 'spose he is?
By gum! he's general manager of the road,
and there ain't a more busi nessl ike-look in
feller in our hull county. Talk about split
tin' hairs! I tell you, there's more in it
than most people think fer, and it makes a
lot of difference sometimes whether a feller
has 'em on top of his head or the lower end
of his face,"—St. Louis Republic.
The Hehenracd \\ eddliiK.
The wedding was, upon the whole, an ar
tistic success. The bride, particularly,
evinced unmistakable talent. She trembled
with all the technical accuracy of an aspen
leaf and the emotional intensity of a star
tled fawn. Her trembling, indeed, was irre
proachable. If she cast down her eyes with
something of amateurish gawkiness the fact
is easily attributable to her inexperience—
this being her first wedding -rather than to
an essentially defective method. She was
fairly well supported. The bridegroom rose
from his knees too soon and had to be
knocked down by the prompter, but other
wise the minor parts were carried credit
ably.—Detroit Journal.
An individual who lives for himself alone
should live by himself —alone. —The School
master.
Great opportunities are loath togo where
smull opportunities ure nuglected.—Los An
-4,( '.OS I'erald.
A Spring Tonic.
Mrs. D. W. Timberiake, Lynchburg,
Va., says: "There Is no better spring
tonic than Peruna, and I have used
about all of them."
A Good Tonic.
Captain Percy W. Moss, Second
Arkansas Volunteers, writes from Par
agould, Ark.: "I find Peruna a very
good spring tonic, and will readily
recommend It at any time."
Builds Up the Entire System.
Miss Jennie Johnson, 3118 Lake Park
avenue, Chicago, 111., Is Vice President
of Chicago Teachers' Federation. She
writes: •'Peruna restores the func
tions of nature, Induces sleep and
builds up the entire system."
Makes Steady Nerves.
D. L. Wallace, Charter Member In
ternational Barbers' Union, IS Western
avenue, Minneapolis, Minnesota,
writes: "/ now feel splendid. My
head Is clear, my nerves are steady,
I enjoy my food and rest well."
Misfit Occupation!.
Half the world seems to have found un
congenial occupations. Servant girls are try
ing to teach; natural teachers are tending
stores; good farmers are murdering law,
while ('hoates and Websters are running
down good farms; and good farmers, in
turn, are farming still in congress. Artists
are spreading daubs on canvas who should
be whitewashing board fences. Shoemakers
write good verses for the village paper and
natural statesmen are pounding shoe lasts,
while other shoemakers are cobbling in
legislative halls. Good mechanics and elec
tricians are trying to preach sermons, and
wondering why their congregations continue
to sleep, while the Beechers are failing as
merchants. —Success.
