From Mrs. Hank to Mrs. Plnkham
The following letter to Mrs. Pink
ham from Mrs. M. Bank, No. 2,35i
East Susquehanna Ave., Philadelphia,
Pa., is a remarkable statement of re
lief from utter discouragement. Shf
aays:
" I never can find words with which
to thank you for what Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound has don
or me,
" Some years ago I had womb trouble
and doctored for a long time, not see
ing any improvement. At times
would feel well enough, and othei
times was miserable. So it went on
until last October, I felt something
terrible creeping over me, I knew nol
what, but kept getting worse. I can
hardly explain my feelings at that
time. I was so depressed in spirits
that I did not wish to live, although I
had everything to live for. Had hys
teria, was very nervous; could not
aleep and was not safe to be left
alone.
" Indeed, I thought I would lose my
mind . No one knows what I endured.
" 1 continued this way until the last
of February, when I saw in a paper a
testimonial of a lady whose case was
similar to mine, and who had been
cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta
ble Compound. I determined to try it
and felt better after the first dose I
continued taking it, and to-day am a
well woman, and can say from mv
heart. 'Thack'Ood for such a medi
cine.'" f .

Renovating Velvet and FIuaTi. ,p
A simple method of cleaning velvet,
velveteen and plash is described in
the Ladies' Home Journal by Emma
M. Hooper. The rule applies to all
three kind of goods, as all have a pile
whioh if flattened must be assisted to
rise again. With the assistance of a
stiff whisk broom, a pan of boiling
water and an obligiug friend who will
brush up the nap as you hold the
goods taut over the steam the wrong
side to the water, these materials will
look like new. This process removes
wrinkles, brightens the color, and
makes the crushed nap stay up when
brushed against the grain, find will
answer for black or colored pile
fabrics. If the velvet has a grease
spot on it remove it with French
chalk before steaming. A sticky spot
may be lightly touched with clean
cold water before the steaming pro
cess. Repairing Bed Blanket.
If the housekeeper has not already
repaired her blaukets for the cold
weather, she should begin to do - so.
Thin places iu blaukets should be
darned with yarn very much as stock
ings are darned. The tops of the
blankets which have been bound with
ribbon Bhould have the ribbon ripped
off after they are washed, and it
should be replaced with a buttonhole
finish in red or dark blue worsted, to
match the stripe iu the blanketing.
This is a neat though less showy
finish than ribbon, and wears well. It
saves trouble to cut pairs of blankets
apart. They are then more easily
handled when they are in use or when
they are folded away than double
blaukets are.
To Clean Ornaments.
TVhen it is desired that pretty draw-,
lug room und personal ornaments
Bhould be washed, a wooden bowl
should be half filled with warm water,
in which one teaspoonful of ammonia
has been stirred, and enough white
soap dissolved to make a good lather.
Eaoh article to be washed should be
plunged quickly into the water, so
that every part may be exposed to the
same heat the same time. A fine
nailbrush and a camel's hair brush are
needed, as well as soft flannel squares
for scrubbing. The camel's hair brush
will clean the most fragile ornamenta
tion thoroughly and daintly. For
rinsing, a seooud wooden bowl will be
required, filled with water slightly
cooler thau that iu which the jewelry
or ornaments wero washed. For dry
ing the pieces nothing is better than a
soft duster.
Sawdust, or the cork used for pack-,
ing, are excellent polishers for glass,
which may bo left to dry, without
rnbbing, in a bowl filled with either.
Brass and copper should be cleansed
with polishing paste never with silver
powder. The old-time mixture of
rotten stono and turpontine is also
good.
For silver there is nothing better
thau silver powder, but a finer, more
lasting brilliancy is attained if each
article of this ware is rubbed with
slices of lemon before the final wash
ing with soap and water. On the
other hand, oxidized ornaments should
never be touched with any of these
preparations. Camphor water care
fully used will keep them bright and
clean, but, ordinarily, hard rubbing
with a chamois leather will answer.

"Are Ton Good Knonajli to Fight?'
r This happened in Brazil; Felix
Bocayuva and one Zuocharini, of Sao

Bocayuva to a duel. "Certainly," re
plied the Brazilian in effect, "if you
are good enough to fight with a gen

from your Consul and I'll meet you."
So Zuccharini applied to the Italian
Consul in Lio for a certificate of

Consul refused, and one duel was off.

rhyslclans' Use of Alcohol.
Tho most Interesting paper read at the
olosine sessloa ot the New fork State Medi
cal Association's annual meeting, tn Mott
Memorial Hall, Mew lort City, was written
by Dr. J. M. Farrlngton, of Broome County,
an "The Passing of Aloohol." .
Dr. Farrlngton quoted the commenda
:lons formerly bestowed on alcohol bj
standard medloal authors, and noted a great
ehange within forty years. He declared
that those ot the profession who believe iu
the general uso of alcohol as a remedy are
how In the minority, and said that with the
light wblou has been thrown upon this sub
eot during the past tew years a physician
ubjeets himself to adverse criticism, and
has need to apologize for using alcohol In
eases la which but a few years ago he would
have been eeusurod had he retrained from
aslng It. Dr. Farrlngton said further:
Life insurance companies have become
convinced beyond question that aloohol,
used even tn moderate quantities, Impairs
the vital powers and shortens life. Ball
road companies have lenrued that even a
moderate use ot alcohol affects unfavorablj
the brain and muscular power, and, there
fore, require all englueers, conductors,
brakeraea and switchmen to be total ab
italners. Religious soclotles that formerly
made use ot aloohollo wine, in the celebra
tion ot the Lord's Supper, have discovered
that the use ot it nt the communion ser
vice hits, In many Instances, aroused the
appetite for Intoxicants tn reformed per
sons, and thus have started them again oo
the declivity to ruin. Churches have like
wise learned that the use of aloohol as a
beverage is the greatest barrier to the pro
gress of religious truth. Therefore, a ma
jority of the Christian societies have ban
ished Intoxicating wine from their com
munion rites, and use only the unfermentei!
juice ot the grape,
Publio state ceremonies, such as the in
luguratlon of the President of the United
States and of the Governors of States,
which were ouoe scenes ot bacchanalian
revelry, have so far been modlflod lu
doterence to public sentiment that In many
instances no kind of alcoholic beverngo Is
furnished. Social gatherings and banquets,
where formerly champagne and other mild
Intoxtcauts flowed freely and were con
sidered essential, are now frequently con
ducted without any form ot alcoholic
drink.
The attention of tho civilized world has
been called to the conspicuous fact ot the
accuracy ot the Are ot the gunners ot out
battleships tn the recent war with Spain.
The oontrast between the lire ot the men
ot our navy and that ot Spain was chiefly
to be attributed, no doubt, to the custom
that prevails on the ships of the latter,
where dally rations ot grog are furnished
to the men; while, since 1862, when thai
custom was abolished by our Government,
ao rations of grog are allowed at any time
onboard our ships. The custom just al
luded to as followed by Bpatn is truo of all
the navies ot the world but ours. Yel
Great Britain has abandoned the doublf
rations of grog when a fight Is on, and
then no liquor is allowed.
Dr. Farrlngton appealed to bis beareri
to assist in driving aloohol from the do
main ot medicine.
Orxuniied Society's Criminal Neglect.
What does society as society do to pre
vent its members from becoming criminals?
KotMog, absolutely nothing. Tho church
and the mission and philanthropy and
eharlty and our reformatory systems, or
ganized through Individual effort, do a
great deal, but the law does nothing; It
sanotlons and tolerates every evil which
brings forth crime as a natural product,
and throws upon religion and humanity the
burden of Its responsibility. There will be
a great public awakening upon this matter
as no distant day. We permit a man to bo
come a drunkard, license him, as it were,
to beoome one, make a profit out of him tot
beooming one, and then when ho does as
act which is the Inevitable result ot his un
conscious condition, we pass statutes grad
ing oft the sort ot punishment that he
shall suffer for doing that which nothing
but the miraculous Interposition ot Provi
dence could have prevented blm irom do
ing. We say to him. "You can go crazy,
the law Is with you; but when you are crazy
you must act like a rational creature; II
not, the law Is against you." Ex-Congress-man

A story showing how easily tho uso ot
liquor In oases of sickness can be dispensed
with Is told by one of our exchanges.
The other day a dlstraoted mother
brought her daughter to see a physician.
The girl was suffering from "general low
ness." The dootor prescribed tor bar a
glass of claret three times a day with ber
meals. The mother was somewhat deaf,
but apparently heard all be said, and bore
off her daughter. In ten days' time they
were back ngnln, and the girl was rosy,
cheeked, smiling, and the picture ot health.
The doctor congratulated himself npon the
Jteen Insight he had displayed tn his diag
nosis of the case. "I am glad to see tbut
your daughter is so much better," he said.
"Yes," exclaimed the grateful mother;
"thanks to you, doctor! She has had just
what you ordered. She has eaten carrots
three times a uay since we were here,
and sometimes oftener and once or twice
uncooked and now look at her!"

that "we are a nation of dyspeptics."
Improper food, hurried eating, mental

The Cuban Newspaper.
The Cuban newspaper is a mis
nomer. It is a paper, but the lack ol
news is as conspicuous as it is in most
of the country weeklies of the
"States." The make-up of the papet
is what we call in tbe North "black
smith work." The style of type and
the head lines are as ancient as the
history of Cuba, and the general ap
pearance of the paper is an offense to
good taste. The so-called news is as
unsatisfying as is the food known at
the Spanish bean; possessing bulk
without substance. For instance, La
Lucha will say in the notes regarding
the work of the American Commis
sion, "To-day Mr. delivered to
General Blanco (or some one else) a
sealed paper of importance." This is
all. What the character of the com
munication was or any other informa
tion relating to it that would in anj
way make it an item of news is not
given. The editorials sometimes pos
sess some pith and point, but the
news columns are a barren waste.
How much of this is due to the cen
sorship and how much to the lack ol
energy and a "nose for news" can not
be said. The resident laughs at the
paper Irom the "States," but it will
be noticed that if he knows how tc
read he wants the said paper as soon
is he can get it, and, while he will
tell you he does not believe a word he
reads in it, he gets very angry when
the paper reports something some
official of the United States has said
derogatory to the Spanish character.
It is all a pack of lies, but he believes
it just the same, and he bases his
thought and action npon the contents
of the very journal he affects to de

still wore the single star of the Brigadier-General's
rank. General Corbin,
however, furnished him with the two
stars which marked "his promotion,
and then the party went to the White

Tho King and the Comet.
Cassini, an Italian by birth, was the
jest known of the astronomers of the
Paris Observatory when founded by
Louis XIV., and, in consequence, pos
terity has very generally supposed he
as the director. That ho failed to
Ije suoh was not from any want of
istuteness. It is related that the

So see a newly discovered comet
ihrough the telescope, lie inquired
in what direction the comet was goiug
to move. This was a question it was
impossible to answer at the moment,
because both observations and com
putations would be necessary before
the orbit could be worked out. But

There are frauds in soaps as well as other things.
Sometimes a grocer will offer you a substitute for Ivory
Soap, because his profits are larger on the substitute. He
and the purchaser are losers in this transaction. The
dealer ultimately loses the customer, and the customer
suffers from the mischief of the substitute. A person
accustomed to Ivory Soap will not be satisfied with any
other. Ask for Ivory Soap and insist upon getting it.
