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 IMPROVISED AQUARIUM. 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, in Farm and Home. 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.

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 j MISS STEVENSON IN HER SHOP.

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 fortable lounges piled high with downy pil lows, would probably find this a very un comfortable way to rest.

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 When a man gets angry hi* reason takes I * short vacation. —Chicago Daily News.

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?

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.

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.

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. It Cure* Coughs Colds.
