"Wild Brutes I Have Saw," by Bridget
Feton-t'lancy. This charming group ' es
says hat- about it the odor of the* backwoods
<0 a remarkable degree, says the Milwaukee
Sentinel.
The authoress explains, i..the preface,
that her early life was spent in the wild*
of northern Minnesota, where the associated
almost entirely with wild animals. She
says:
"Many times I used to set under a tree
for hours at a time, watching for to get a
shot at a rabbit. 1 could shoot good with
a 1 itie, and have often miw men who were
worse thots than I be. When the other girls
Were wasting their time going to district
school, 1 would be walking through the
woods, watching the wild beasts playing in
the trees and on the giai-s, ami learning
something every minute. 1 seen lots of
funny incidents, which I will try to mention
in this here book."
Miss Seton-Clancy it ose of those fre-e,
rintamod souls who occasionally startle the
literary world by their supreme disregard
for the statute in such case made and pro
vided. If she is ever worried by tße rules
of grammar, it does not appear in her work.
She has something to say, and says it straight
from the shoulder.

A l'liyslolnu'a Statement.
Yorktown, Ark., Jan. 11.—Leland Wil
liamson, M. 1)., one of the cleverest phy
sicians, has made a statement, endorsing
Dodds' Kidney Pills and saying that he uses
tuein in his daily practice in preference to
any other Kidney medicine. His statement
has created a profound sensation as it is
somewhat unusual for a physician to pub
licly endorse anything in the shape of a
patent medicine. Dr. Williamson says:
"After twenty years' practice in a sickly
and lmilarious country 112 have come to the
conclusion that it is always best to use the
remedy that will relieve and cure my pa
tients whether ethical or not.
"1 have used Dodd's Kidney Pills with uni
form success in the various forms of Kidney
Disease, Pain in the Back, Gout, Rheuma
tism, Inflammation and .Congestion of the
Kidneys and all kindred diseases; 1 always
prescribe Dodd's Kidney Pills in such cases
and can testify that they invariably restore
the Kidneys to their normal state and there
by relieve the blood of accumulated poisons,
producing prompt and effective cures."

"DEAR Mas. PINKHAM : —For years I
enjoyed the best of health and thought
that I would always do so. I attended
parties and receptions thinly clad, and
would be suddenly chilled, but I did
not think of the results. I caught a
bad cold eighteen months ago while
menstruating, and this causeel inflam
mation of the womb and congested
ovaries. I suffered excruciating pains
and kept getting worse. Mv attention
was calleel to your Vepfcta'ble Cora
pound and the wonderful cures it had
performed, and I made up my mind to
try it for two months and see what it
would do for me. Within one month I
felt much better, and at the close of the

PRETTY CORSET COVER.

--•rrlbed ON HCIIIK T'liciin un
Well an Dainty,
While 011 a Is- It to a friend I saw a
very pretty and simple corset cover, and
on nay return home succeeded In mak
ing one for myself. It is certainly a
novelty and cheap as well as very pret
ty and dainty. Buy three common-sized
ladles' handkerchiefs and cut them in
two diagonally, making six equal pieces.
Cut one of these halves in two again,
leaving you live large pieces and two
smaller ones. Narrow lace insertion
about one-inch wide is tewed between
all these pieces without cutting the in
sertion, but doubling it over diagonal
ly at the corners between, in order to
turn the corners. The arrangement of
the pieces is shown in the cut. which
shows how the cover will look when
sewed together. Pieces a a are cut out
just a trifle where the dotted lines art
shown, to form the under arm portions
of the cover. Piece bis the back, the
point at the top or b coming directly in
the center of the back.
After getting thus far, begin at cor
ner x and sew the same kind of inser
tion along the two front edges, which
rt«'" A*"
HANDKERCHIEF COVER,
have been previously hemmed with the
narrowest of hems, and also sew it
across the top cover, which baa been
hemmed, leaving the loops as shown
In the drawing for the armholes, which
with the pari cut out in a will make
all the armhole needed. You can meas
ure an old cover for this measurement,
being sure to get it large enough so it
will not draw or be tight, and allow a
little for shrinkage. Then sew narrow
beading across the top of insertion, but
not down the front edges. (By beading,
I mean lace or insertion wltto holea in,
so that you can run ribbon through).
Edge the beading with lace edging, and
the top of the cover is finished, except
to run in the beading any desired color
of baby ribbon. Around the armholes
put a row of beading edged with lace
and run In ribbons, finishing the aru>-
holes.
Gather the bottom of the cover to fit
the waist, having the center of piece b
in the center of the back. Sew wide
beading at the bottom, fixing the gath
ers firm and ttationary, and running
wider ribbon through the beading for
the belt. The sewing with the excep
tion of the belt and the hemming is all
over and over. The insertion and lace
are about an inch wide, and the bead
ing about half an inch or little wider.
This makes a very full cover and a
very pretty and dainty one. It takes
five and a half yards of both lace and
insertion, two and a quarter yards of
narrow beading, three-quarters of a
yard beading for belt, five yards narrow
ribbon and one yard wider ribbon for
belt. —C. B. Morse, In Farm and Home.
LEMON HAS MANY USES.
It In Ciooil for the Stontueli. the Throat,
the Hnnrin, Flnicer and
the Complexion.
The usefulness of the lemon begins In
the morning, even before you are out
of bed. The juice of half a lemon
squeezed into a glass of water and drunk
unsweetened the first thing in the morn
ing is an excellent remedy for bilious
disorders.
If girls appreciated the lemon's use
fulness as a beautilier, they would al
ways have one at hand. The fingers or
linger nails may have stains that re
fuse to yield to soap and water, in which
case a little lemon juice will usually
prove successful. Before manicuring
the nails you should always soak them
for at least five minutes in a basin of
water in which are a few drops of lemon
juice. The skin which grows so of
fensively. around the nails is pushed
back by orange wood sticks first dipped
in lemon juice; and as for the teeth, no
more effective cleanser or purer mouth
wash can be found than a half dozen
drops of lemon juice in a wineglass of
water.
After washing the hands, lemon-juice
and water makes a splendid bleach, but
one curious thing should be remembered.
Lemon juice pure darkens the skin, so
do not mako the mistake of rubbing in
plain lemon-juice, Instead of diluting it
with water.
Lemon juice and glycerine is good for
chapped hands. If you have a hoarse
voice in the morning, lemon-juice,
squeezed onto soft sugar till it is like
a sirup, and a few drops of glycerine
added, relieves the hoarseness at once,
while a cold on the chest, or consump
tion itself, finds a formidable enemy in
the following prescription:
Squeeze the juice of three lemons over
three whole eggs, shell and alk In two
or three days time the shell will have
softened because of the effect of the
lemon's acid on the lime composition of
the shell. Then add a pint of rum and
a pound of pulverized brown sugar
candy. You can bottle this, and take
a spoonful every morning before ris
ing. It is simply wonderful as a tonic.

ABOUT ENGAGEMENTS.
It a CJIrl Kenll) l.ovn k Mnn Slie Will
Wait for 111 111 PntlKnUr aud
Without Doubt,
It Is one thing to fall In love and an
other to propose marriage. Men may
be wise and cautious; they may have
most sensibly made up their minds that
it would be neither right nor fair for
them to speak, aud they may have defi
nitely resolved not to Eay a word on
the subject of marriage till they have,
at least, a preiepect of making a home
for a wife.
Then there comes an accidental upset
to their calculations —a word, a look, a
blush, a smile. All these fine reasonings
are thrown to the winds; they have
blurted out the love they meant to keep
concealed till the correct moment ol
avowal came. Araminta has confessed
she reciprocates the devotion she Is told
of, and nothing remains but to asli
papa's consent, and visit a jeweler's.
But then comes the side that is not
all rapture. At first, to be engaged is
enough to send any two adoring people
up into a seventh heaven of bliss; but
by and by that ceases entirely to satisfy.
They would like to marry, to belong en
tirely to each other; to set up house
keeping, and know all the delights of a
home which the other shares. The true
test of love is not in the proposing and
accepting, neither is it in the buying
and wearing the ring; it is in the wait
ing with patience and indefinite tims
for the fulfillment of a hope of which
the proposal and the engagement ring
were merely a pledge.
The question again and again arises:
"How long is it reasonable for a man
to ask a girl to wait for him?" If it is
a year, or even two, or three, he may
be justified; for, after all, there is a
definite end to the waiting, which draws
nearer every day. But if after five
years, say, the end looks no nearer—il
he is still just as unlikely to be able to
support a wife —should he still expect
a girl togo on wasting the be>st years ol
her life on his behalf?
If she really loves him, ft will not mat
ter to her though she waited for him
20 years. It will be tuch an utter Im
possibility for her to think of any other
man than himself that she will not feel
her chances in other directions are be
ing spoiled, for if she may not marry
him, she would rather not marry any
one else while the world lasts. She will
count any waiting short and light that
has the hope of being hie wife at the end
of It, and she will wait without a de
sire to be free. If she doe« not love him
—why, that is a different matter, and she
had better not undertake at all a waiting
which she will find Intolerable.—Chi
cago American.
THE MISSION LAMP.
Latent Development of a Fad That
SeeniM to Have Taken the En
tire Country by Storm.
Mission furniture has become some
thing more than a fad. and its avail
ability for country and city home use
has been demonstrated by the many
articles modeled on mission lines that
have been brought out by the manufac
turers during the past year or so, and
which have met with the approval of
those who seek for chairs, tables, cab
inets and the like that differ from con
ventional productions. The mission
lamp is the latest manifestation of the
tendency for furniture of this sort, and
is portrayed above. In a den or a hall
ARTISTIC MISSION LAMP,
or any room where mission furniture
predominates, such a lamp would add
to the effect and the original is consid
erably more attractive than the picture
might imply. As a novelty in the lamp
line, the mission model calls for recog
nition, and, as has been said, it Is par
ticularly adapted to an apartment where
in the mission idea is the ruling one in
furniture.—Brooklyn Eagle.
Hygienic Value of Fruit.
Hygienists all agree in telling us
that, we do not eat sufficient fruit,
which is infinitely more productive of
health and beauty than candy and
pastry. Ripe apples are especially
healthy, and children may eat them
without danger. Some doctors say
that an apple at bedtime produces
sleep. Pears are more tasty than ap
ples, but not so healthy unless cooked
Prunes have medftinal qualities which
cannot be denied. They are better
cooked, however. Apricots are also
more healthy cooked than raw.
Peaches are very healthy. The most
,healthy of all fruit, however, are
grapes. Gooseberries and currants are
best cooked. Pigs are also excellent;
they were in great favor with ancient
Roman ladies, who always ate them
for breakfast. Pineapples are said to
be the best cure for dyspepsia yet
known. Nuts of all kinds are indigest
ible. Oranges are also excellent as a
cure for dyspepsia. Lemons produce
cheerfulness and prolong life.

This centenarian is an ardent friend of
Peruna, having used it many years.
In speaking of his good health and ex
treme old age, Mr. Brock says:
"After a man has lived in the world asi
long as I have, he ought to have found!
out a great many things by experience
I think I have done so.
"One of the things I have found
out to my entire satisfaction is the
proper thing for aliments that are
due directly to the effects of the
climate. Fcr 115 yeats I have
withstood the changeable climate of
the United States.
"I have always been a very healthy
man, but of course subject to the little
affections which are due to sudden
changes in the climate and temperature.
During ray long life I have known a
great many remedies for coughs, colds
and diarrhoea.
"y4s for l)r. Hartman's remedy,
Peruna, I have found it to be the
best, if not the only, reliable remedy
for these affections. It has been my
standby for many years, and I at trib
ute my good health and extreme old
age to this remedy.
"It 'xactly meets all my requirements*.
It protects me from the evil effects cf
sudden changes; it keeps me in good
appetite; it gives me strength; it keeps
my blood in good circulation. I have
come to rely upon italmost entirely for
the many little things for which I need
medicine.
"When epidemics of la grippe first
began to make t'lelr appearance in this
country I was a sufferer from this dis
ease.
"I hud several long sieges with
the grip. At first I did not know
that Peruna was a remedy for this
disease. When I beard that la grippe,
was epidemic catarrh, I tried Peruna
for la grippe and found it to be jusf
the thing."
In a later letter dated January 31,1903,
Mr. Brock writes:
"I am well and feeling as well as 1
have for years. The only thing that
bothers me is my sight. If I could see
better I could walk all over the farm and
it would do me good. I would not be
without Peruna."
