The Caretaker.
Cari'tnker i a wont adopted Into modern
use and mentis one wlio takes care of, and
Is very generally applied to those employed
to take csre ot things committed to their
keeping. The wav ome people have of tak
ing care of fhnmselvos is very suggestive
of the need of a caretaker. The human
body to such is a mansion filled with
precious things uneareit for, where thieves
may break in nml rust doth corrupt. Talus
and aches are thieves, and the body left un
enred for to their spoilage will be robbed of
all Its comforts and despoiled of Its peace
of mind and happiness. It Is a happy
thought to look upon St. Jacobs Oil as a
caretnker, to employ it as a watchman
agniust such intruders. There Is hardly an
ache, from a toothache to a toeaehe, that
it can't take care of and effect a cure, and
pains the most violent are conquered Ivy Its
use. Its office as a caretaker is to prevent
the spread of aches and pains Into a chronio
stage. Keep a bottle of it In the handiest
place and be assured of good enreand com
fort. The carrier-pigeon was In use by the

The ueen and the Bicycle. I
It now turns ont that thore was no 1
irtith iu the published atory about the
lycling performance of the young
'Jueen of Holland. She never bought
nor was nresented with a bicycle. In
'net, she is understood not to approve
if cycling for women. But she does
lot w ish to put any constraint npoti
thers in this respect, and so, cycling
eing much in vogue at tho Hague,
adies of the court freely practise the
port.
Gentle Art or llltiatilng.
One of the latest additions to the
Mirriculiim of a Parisian school of de
portment is a department for instrnc
lion in the gentle art of blushing.
This would seem to point the way to
die passing of the end of the century
rirl who is above snch things. One of
:he pupils declares it is easy to droop
iho eyes and to affect bashftilness.
But it is not, she adds, easy to blush.
The latter, indeed, seems to be one of
the lost arts.
The Ripple Collar.
The newest collar is the one known
is "ripple." which really does not
ripple any more than those of last year.
tt differs from the old collar in that it
fits snugger to the neck, and yet has
the same effect of flaring which it bad.
tf the collar flares too much it loses in
irarmth, aud yet it is the flare which
oeooming to moHt incee. lueHU I
ions maker of fur garments has obviated
Ihiu difficulty by making the collar
lightly more flaring, and then catch
ing it in plaits about two inches wide
tt regular intervals. I be plait is not
evident except upon close inspection,
and yet the collar has the effect of be
ing extremely full, at the same time
standing up snug and trim aronna tne
neck so as hardly to require fastening
in front.
Turkish Girls
Turkish girls of the betterlclass in
the cities, after they are too old to at
tend the primary schools, are largely
educated at home by governesses,
many of whom come from England and
France, but. unfortunately, lo not al
ways represent the highest culture of
these nations, so that the real love of
study is not as a rule, developed un
der their influence. Turkish women
have a great aptitude for foreign lau
guages, and those met on the steamers
of the Bosphorus often speak French,
and it is not unusual for them to
speak German and English also.
It is a well-known fact that many
Turkish women are engaged in trade,
some even carryiug on an extensive
business, involving frequent journeys
to Egypt and other places, which pre
supposes the ability to read ana write,
as well as some knowledge of aritliuie
tic. Moreover, conversation with the
Mussulman woman iu the capital re
veals some progress at the present
time in independence of thought, and,
while social conditions have unavoida
bly arrested the development of Tur
kish women as a class, forces are
slowly but surely working among them
that will result in their final emancipa
tiou.
An Economical F
Thongh always elegantly and per
fectly dressed, the Princess of Wales
by no means errs on the side of ex
travagauce. Her Royal Highness has
been known to wear a gown three sue
cessive seasons whou it suited her,
and remained fresh and handsome,
For instance, at the opening of the
People's Palace at Whitechapel, the
Princess wore a striking jacket of
olive-arreeu velvet, brocaded with
small ripe red strawberries.
There could be no mistaking so dis
tiuctive a stuff, and it was recognized
by a woman who had seen the Princess
in Ireland two summers before, as one
that had been worn at several fnno
tions in that country. The style had
been altered somewhat, but there was
the same splendid fabric, doing its
thorough economical duty. Her Royal
Hiahness s luilueuce, too, nas ever
been against excess in fashion. She
has always refused to patronize very
wide skirts, balloon-like sleeves or
huae over-trimmed headgear.
When ordering new gowns, colored
pictures of them, back aud front, as
they should look when finished, with
scraps of the proposed materials ana
trimmings attached, are submitted for
the Princess's approval, and it is a
very usual occurrence for the Princess
to take her own brush or pencil and
alter the pictures to please her excel
lent taste. The gowns are fitted on a
model of her own figure, and the work
woineu do not see her at all, unless
considerable alterations are necessary.

A young Auiericau, who, heaped

that she thought it un idle and unwise

the fuudumeutal work at home,
Hhe gave me ever so many reasons
for this, but that which seemed to her
the strongest, was the fact that Puris

to be talent iu themselves has proved,
when taken to the other side, to be
but a flimsy at) air not worth cultivat

With the poverty belonging to most
of these women, suli'criug is inevitable,

Fashion Notes.
Old-fashioned pink cameos are com
ing into vogue again, and the old-time
setting is to bo retained.
Huguenot caps are added to the
tops of many of the short, full, pufl'ed

Collars with stole ends are worn by
tlie WOmau who loves frills. They
can be fashioned by auy deft fingers
directed by taste.
Many of the demi-traiued dress
skirts are cut with nine gores, and at
the back some are box-plaited and
others fan-plaited.
Tue small pad bustle is now worn
with the latest day costumes aud even
ing toilets; aud those of larger pro

The new shirt waists for spriug are
made up iu the zephyr goods, with
pockets, it is said. Instead of but

or net, are made easily and may be as
simple or as elegant as time, skill and
purse permit. Owing to their airy
daintiness they seem especially suit

AGRICULTURAL TOPICS.
Selling On" 1'onr Stock.
As winter approaches every farmer
should lik over his farm stock and
consider what, of it will pay best for
keeping through until spring. It all
that does not come up to the standard
is sold to the butcher or otherwise dis.
posed of, the money for it and the hay
or grain required for its winter suste
nance w ill leave the farmer richer in
tho spring than if he fed it. Don't
.try to get high prices for the ppor
stock. There is less loss in disposing
'of it than iu keeping it. The farmers'
profit, injthese'dnys, depends moro on
tho kind of stock he keeps than on any
other factor.
Halting Fnll Calve.
There is a great unwillingness on
the part of most dairymen to allow
calves dropped in the fnll to reach ma
turity. It is really tho greatest ob
jection to the extension of winter
dairying. That in all cases takes the
best cows, as no one would think of
keeping poor milkers through the win
ter, with all tho extra trouble that
winter dairying involves. But if nil
tue caives ot uieso winter cows are
sent to the butcher it must mean a
great deterioration of average dairy
stock. No ouo should begin winter
dairying unless ho has a warm barn,
which frost will not enter, in which to
keep his cows, and succulent feed of
some kind to feed them. These sjo
Just the conditions for successfully
roaring fall farrowed calves.
The Apple Maggot.
The furrows which you see in ap
ples are duo to the presence of a worm
in the apple, which is the product of
an egg laid very early in the growth of
the npplo by the apple maggot. As
the mature insect does not eat the ap
ple, but only stiugs it to deposit her
egg beneath the skin, it is not likely
that the maggot can be killed by a poi
sonous iusectioide. Some success has
been had by using an emulsion which
is applied before the tree is leaved
out. The mnggot hatches early in
spring and waits without eating until
her work in reproducing her species
is done. Tue orchard should be kept
as a hog pasture wherever this pest
beoomes numerous. There are many
of these pests in the fallen fruit, and
a good lot of hogs will eat this fruit as
fast as it falls to the ground. The in
crease of the pest may thus be pre
vented if it cannot be exterminated.
Boston Cultivator.
Successful Grape Grafting.
J. I. Portor, of Ohio, writes: An
old Clinton vine stood at ife corner of
the woodhouse which was so vigorous
that its branches spread over every
thing within reach, but bore no fruit.
In April, 1890, I cut both branches off
close to the ground and grafted a
Delaware grape into one and an Iona
iuto the other. I used no wax; simply
wrapped carefully with strings of
cloth, pasted a little mud over the
wound and covered nil with earth ex
cept the top bnds of the grafts. ThoBe
grafts made a wonderful growth the
first season, owing to tho far-reaching
roots of the Clinton vine. At close of
the first season the Iona vine was
about 18 feet long and the Delaware
about 12. This season, with the vines
one year old, the Delaware branch
bore twenty-four as line bunches of
Delaware grapes as I ever saw. The
bunches and berries were slightly
larger than the Delaware generally
grows and so compact on the stems
that they could not be picked off easi
ly without beginning at the end of the
stem.
The Iona branch bore about forty
bunches of Iona grnpes of the finest
finality, lias is a quick way of get
ting a grapevine into beariug. - I tried
the same experiment on a wild grape
vine down in the pasture. It grew
just as vigorously, but au inquisitive
Jersey cow spoiled the experiment.
Women Centenarians.
It is an acknowledged fact that a
great age is attained by women often
er than by men. Oue of the most
famous female centenarians was the
Countess of Desmond, who lived to be
145 years old, uud died in the reign of
James I. from tho etleots of au acci
dent, This wonderful woman found
herself, at the ago 10(1, so lively and
strong as to be able to take part in a
dance; and when she was 140 she trav
eled from Bristol to London no tri
fling journey in those days iu order
to attend personally to some busines
affairs. .
Lady Desmond is, however, quite
thrown in the shade by a Trench wom
an, Marie Prion, who died iu St. Col
ombe, it is said, at the wonderful age
of 150. Toward the end of life she
lived exclusively on goat's milk and
cheese. Although her body wa so
shrunk that she weighed only forty-six
pouuds, she retained all her mental
faculties to the lust.
It is an extraordinary but incontest
able fact that some women at the age
when most peoplo die undergo a sort
of natural process of rejuvenation
hair aud teeth grow again, the wrinkles
disappear from the skin, aud sight
and hearing reacquire their former
sharpness.
A Marquise dd Mirabeou is an ex
ample of this rare and remarkable
phenomenon. Hhe died at the age of
eighty-six, but a few years before her
death she became iu appearance quite
young strain. The Kuinehaugo hap
pened to a nnu of the name of Mar
guerite Verdur, who, nt ihe age of
sixty-two, lost her wrinkles, regained
her sight mid grew several new teeth
When she died, ten years later, her
appearance was almost that of u young
girl. Jsew lork Ledger.
WliUkera For a I'lllow.
That hiHtory repeats itself has just
reoeived another proof. Home years
af(0 the men of a Jiavnriau regiment,
of which I'rinoe Muxiiuiliau was chief,
iu order that they might show their
devotiou to him, cut oil' their mus
taches aud sent them to tho priucess,
who had just become a mother, that
she miht use them as a pillow.
Something very like a repetition of
this has just tukeu place at Happoist
weller, in Atsatia. The chief of the
tire brigade was a few dnys ago pre
Heuted with his first child, a boy.
The firemen thereupon called a meet
ing, at which it was decided to make
the baby boy an honorary member ol
the corps, and the meu subsequently
out oi' their mustaches aud beards to
form a pillow for the baby's use.

i'r. Xorninn Kerr says that malt liquors
are onn of the main sources of the indi

continued Irritation of the delicate lining
membrane of the stomach by the alcohol In
even the mildest beers persisted in for a
lengthened period. Is extremely apt to give
rise to a train of dyspeptic symptoms,
which tends to makj many an otnewlse

The liver suffers severely Iu many cases
in which beer has never been taken to ex

noted for their very moderate hut constant

while alive, but whoso sudden and unex

There Is no call for us to drink beer, how

The Supreme Duty of the Honr.
Our readers must have observed how

urged upon temperance workers the Im

Incalculable gain to make drunkenness a
disgrace instead of an amiable peculiarity

peccamuo, as it was in tue memory or tne
oldest inhabitant; or a necessary evil as it
was a goneratlon back. The forces thut
have worked to this end are precisely the
same that must now be directed against
so-called 'moderation.' We must stoutly
maintain the position that there is no
moderation in the use of what Is harmful.
Happily, in taking this position we have
great allies' of which the greatest is the
dictum of tue modern sciences. '
Greatest Cause of Poverty.
Trade unions, technical schools and
benevolent societies have done much to
elevate the condition of the laboring popu
lution in England, but It is still much
lower than In the United mates, and In
many places descends to degradation
John Iiurns, the Lngll.sh labor reformer,
was asked what was the greatest cause of
poverty in mh country.
"firiiik," was his lacoulc reply.
"Whnt is the greatest obstacle to the ad
vnucement otthe working classes?"
"Irlnk," he said again.
"What Is the reason that the working
classes of lireat llritain are legs intelligent,
less tidy and less ambitious than those of
the United States?"
"Drink, " he agulu ejaculated.
"What is the greatest Inventive to crime
and vice among the working people?"
"Ilrluk."
"Is there any hope for the elevation of
the working classes of your country to
thesnme standurd as those iu the United
States?" was asked.
"Not as long as there Is a public uouso
at every cross-road In Great llritain," he
replied.
Doctors on Urlllk.
The tweutv-seveiith annual meetlug
tho American Association for the Hludy
aud Cure of Inebriety was held In Boston
under the Presidency of Dr. Lewis 1)
Jlilsou.
Among the papers read was onebyDr,
T. u. l-rotliers. or liurtrord, Conn., on
"The Insanity of Inebriety." Hesaid there
were neurotic storms which impelled men
to drink at certain dellnite periods which
returned with tuu same regularity as the
tides. These were veritable Insanities.
large number of men thus atfected were
stttferiug from paresis, also from moral
paralysis a condition of things Iu which
the person was unable to determlue hi
proper relutious to people in general. Tho
continued uso of alcohol destroyed the
moral idea, and made the person untruth
ful, dishonest, intriguiug and uureliuble.
An Intlexiulo Kule.
There is a firm of glues manufacturers iu
riiilmli'lphia wuiou was esiabllsued iu tbe
eurly part of the century, whose founders,
xtriet aud eonsisteut members of the ho-i-iety
of Krieuds, not believing iu the manu
facture or sale of intoxicntiUK liquors, es
tabliuhed a rule which has never been vio
lated. These manufacturers have never
made a whisky Hank, nor auy sort or de
scription of bottle intended to contain
either malt, vinous or siiirttuoui liquors.
Temperance New anil Kotea.
The man who drinks champagne at night
generally feels real pain in the morning.
A watch may start a conflagration and a
tcatqioouful of brandy a thirst for liquor.
A goldfish will die in ninety minutes if
placed iu water which contains one pel
cent, of alcohol. In water which contains
twenty per cent, of alcohol it will die In
stantly. Occai-innally we hear of "boycotted
boer." We (ear thut beer is not boy
cotted enough. It the working men
boycotted beer altogether the labor ques
tion would be much nearer a solution thun
it is ut preaeut.

A rtnge Python.
A python twenty foot in length, that
ied in the reptile house of the Lon

as the largest reptile ever confined
here. There in a general impression

Die female Indian python still in the

Svity of which there is any record,
Seiieral impressions as to the length
f these great reptiles are due to the
ibsitrd pictures that formerly decorat-

lonietiines as text books, showing a
picture of a python in the act of crush
ing and swallowing an Indian ImtTalo.
rhat was a ridiculous picture that
was the fathsr of ninny "of the "freak

i real instead of a fabulous reptile,

It was obtained in Malacca, and was
presented to tho society by Dr. Hamp

therefore, lived rather more than
twenty years iu England. During
that period it bad been fed principally
with ducks, of which it sometimes
wallowed four or five at one meal.
(ts food was offered to it onoe week,
but it sometimes refused to ent for a
oionth together. The specimen will
be mounted for the Tring Museum.
Some Tricks of Heredity.
Dr. Conklin gave many peculiar in
itances of family characteristics run
ning through many generations. In
one family it was uoticed that three
extremely long hairs appeared on the
eyebrows of the children generation
after generation, and in another family
Email mark on the ear was reproduced
for three generations by actual kuowl
edge. Twins and triplets usually ap
lieared time and agaiu in the same
family, and while the marked heredi
tary characteristics might be latent in
one generation, they would appear in
the next. He said that m Italy many
hundred years ago a son was born
who had six fingers and the number of
bis descendants who were similarly
affected was countless. The facial ex
pression, the color of the eyes, the
hnir, the carriage, and many little
oddities appeared and reappeared. Iu
his own family he noticed a peculiar
manner of crawling on the lloor iu
childhood was repeated in descend
ants and could not be corrected,

Ttsd Digestion, Had ITesrt.
roor dlgnstlon often csuses Irregularity
of the heart's aotlon. This Irregularity
msy be mistaken for real, organio heart
disease. The symptoms are much the same.
There Is, howovor, a vist difference be
tween the two; organio heart dlsoass Is
often Incurable; npparent heart diseaso is
ouraiua ir good digestion ne restoreu.
A case In nolnt ts quoted trom the Arts
Era, of Oromisburg, lnd. Mrs. Ellen Col-
som, Nowpolnt, lnd., a woman forty-three)
years old, had suffered for four years with
distressing stomach trouble. The gases
generated by the Indigestion pressed on
the heart and caused an Irregularity of Its
action, Hhe had much pain In her stomach
and heart, and was subjoet to frequent aud
severe choking spells, which were most
severe at night. Doctors were tried in vain:
the patient became worse, despondent, and
feared lmpeiutlin oeatn.
T"ir
A CASX or HEART FAtLCBG.
She was much frightened, but noticed
that in Intervals In which her stomach did
not annoy her, her heart's action became
normal, neasoning correctly mat nor oi-
gestion was alone at fault, she procured
the proper medicine to treat that trouble.
and with Immedintfl good results. II er
appetite came back, the choking spells be
came less frequent and finally ceased. Her
weight, which had been greatly reduced,
was restored, and she now weighs moro
than for years. Her blood soon became
pure and her cheeks rosy.
The case Is of genernl Interest because
the disease Is a very common one. That
others may know the means ot cure we
give the name of the medicine used Dr.
Williams' 1'luk Tills for I'alo I'oople. These
pills contain all the elements neoessary to
give new life nnd richness to the blood aud
restore shattered norves.
I What Wt Not In 1107.
Think of New York about one
century agol It did not contain one
bathroom or a single furnace. In
summer there was no ice. There were
no publio stages, no matches and
there was no such thing as a latchkey.
The streets were narr jwor than the
Liberty or Wall street of to-day.
They wera widened. There was a
State law that commanded pedestrians
northward bound to get ont of the
way of those going south. Pigs were
the city scavengers. There was
scarcely any light from the wisorable
lamps at night, and not a mau in the
city limits wore a mustache.
