Smart k Silberbere STORES Greater and greater grows the popularity or this Nlore. April Just passed was the largest mouth of our history. The reason is we di rect all our energy to giving our trade all that they arc entitled to. Of Undoubted Merit Our silk business has grown to enormous proportions in recent years, and it is uiaiuly because we Rive such excellent values. Every yard of Silk we sell we stand back of. We reoommeud it, so if it don't wear we'll make it good. At 39 cents, several hundred yards of Chiffon Taffetas in many of the choicest colorings, both plain and changeable. At the same price, several hundred yards of Printed Foulards in navy, brown, green and black ground with small, neat white figures. At 75 cents, a handsome new assortment of the clmicrst green shades in Satin Mesalaine, the most popular of all the silk materials used for Shirt Waist Suits rud Gowns. The quality of this material U superb a rich, soft, lustrous, clingy weave, and the price st which they were made to sell is a quarter a yard more than we are asking for them. Shades of green are exceedingly scarce and popular, but by a lucky cbauce we secured this lot aud, let us add, we never saw any prettier " Handsome Silk Orqandies A ii y, fairy, diaphanous aud exquisite. Every one who sees them mar vels at their exceeding beauty, and the best part of it is they're only 23 cents a yard. It's surprising, but the secret is they're the product ot Yaukee ingenuity and brains. If they were fro-u the land of France (and you can't tell the difference) these same goods would cost you three t; tries the price asked. 200 Ready-to-Wear Hats at $2.00 200 very pretty, stylish Hats, all ready trimmed, ready to put on aud wear, many are worth more than double this price.

A BiiiKle blow may be enough to spoil a racer. Daniel Lambert, founder of the Lambert branch of the Morgan family, was thought ns a three-year-old to be the fastest trotting stallion of bis day. I le was a very handsome, stylish, intelligent horse, and also extremely sensitive. His driver, Dan Mace, though one of the best iclnsinen In America, once made the mistake, through 111 temper or bad judgment, of giving Daniel Lambert a severe cut with the whip, ami that single blow put fin end to bis usefulness us a trotter. He became wild and ungovernable in harness and remained ho for the rest of bis life.

Many doubtless have heard tho midshipman who, when at homo, could not sleep because there were no wavos boating against the sides of the ship, and got his mother to Imitate the familiar sound by dashing palls of water against his bed room door. We might observe, en passant, that this mother must have been a most self-sacrificing person not only to fore go her own rest, but also from a strict sense of maternal affection, to risk the ruin ot her household goods by the Inundation. We own, therefore, to a little skepticism as regards the strict accuracy of this tale. Do this as. It may, a safe remedy for want of sleep less original per haps, than any of the above, but suited al most to everybody Is nothing more nor less than eating onions. The late Frank Buckland once said: "Every body knows the taste of onions; this Is due to a peculiar essential oil con tained In this most valuable and healthy root This oil has, I am Bure, highly soporific powers. In my own case it never fails. If I am much press ed with work, and feel I shall not sleep, I eat two or three small onions, and the effect Is magical." London Health. Table of Proportions. The following table of proportions will be found useful, and should bo hung in every kitchen, In a convenient place: A tablespoonful Is measured level. A cupful Is all the cup will hold leveled with a knife. One teaspoonful of soda to one pint of sour milk. One teaspoonful of soda to one cup ot molasses. Three heaping teaspoonfuls of bak ing powder to one quart of flour. Half a cupful of yeast, or quarter of compressed cake, to one pint of liquid. . " One teaspoonful of salt to two quarts of flour. One teaspoonful of salt to one quart of soup. One scant cupful of liquid to two full cupfuls of flour for muffins. One quart of water to each pound of meat bone for soup stock. One Baltspoonful of white pepper to each quart of soup stock. One teaspoonful of extract to one quart of custard. One tablespoonful of extract to one quart of cream or custard, for freez ing. One tablespoonful of extract to one plain loaf cake. A pinch of salt or spice Is a salt spoonful. A few grn'-.s Is less than a salt spoonfu'. blead seasonings, sift them thor--uglily together before adding them .o mixture. Four peppercorns, four cloves, ono teaspoonful minced herbs, and orw tablespoonful each of chopped vege tables to each quart of water for soup stock. Always wash the breadboard with cold water and soap if you wish to keep It a good color. A little silver sand a ided to the soap will greatly improve the appearance of the board, if it is discolored. Men and Women. Indigestion a Foe. Indigestion is a foe to all things. If the stomach Is ill at ease there is no peace anywhere In the system, from the brains, which are dull, to the feet, which are heavy. Great beauties eat very little, and what they do eat is of the simplest and most nourishing sort While they never refuse delicacies, they do not eat heartily of them, re serving the appetite for the simpler and more nourishing viands. Avoid Darkness. Florence Nightingale declares that "a dark house Is almost always un healthy; always an ill-aired house. Want of light stops growth and pro motes scrofula, rickets, consumption, etc., especially among children. Peo ple lose their health In a dark house and If they get 111 they cannot get well again in it." Dainty Asparagus Tongs. Silversmiths no less than other trades folks and craftsmen must keep on the alert to bring out new designs and table ware offers a fruitful field for the exploitation of Inventiveness and skill. Various contrivances for the manipulation of asparagus have appeared in recent years in the silver smiths' shops and the latest Is here shown. It Is of sterling silver and perforated so as to admit of the vege table being thoroughly drained before being served. For Cuts and Bruises. Melt together one pint of olive oil and half an ounce each of beeswax an ounce of camphor and an ounce of powdered borax. This Is excellent for cuts or bruised portiyns where tho skin is taken off.

It la qulto an Interesting thing to lenrn that some of our best known proverbs and mottoes wore originally used In connection with sundials, lie fore the days of watches and clocks, when dials and sun marks were among the rude means of reckoning time, it was a prevailing custom to inscribe them. Among tho maxims traceable to this source are. "Make hay while the sun shines," "The longest day must end" and "All things do wax and wane." Sundials spoke the truth, ns may bo inferred from a historic one which was placed on St. I'iiuI's cross. In London, nud which proclaimed, "I number none but sunny hours." This no ono will doubt who has hail occasion to consult a dial on an overcast day. A famous dial in Sussex, England, bore four famous mottoes applicable to the flight of time and the brevity of life. They were as follows: "After darkness, light." "Alas, how swift!" "I warn whilst I move" nud "So pusses life." Another old sundial spoke petulant ly about the same subject In the words, "Sirrah, be gone about your business." Fnrri nf Habit. Speaking of force of habit, some years ago there was nil Iron railing around the capltol grottqds nt Wash ington. The appropriation bill provided for a watchman to close and lock the gates every night at a certain hour und open them at n certain hour every morning. In the course of time the railing or fence was removed, but the gates swung between their Egyptian pillars for a long time, and nil that time the watchman came and went regularly, closing and opening the gates according to law und drawing bis salary.

Thompson's Barosina Kidney and I4ver Cure. Is not only performing wonderful cures, as the following statements will provo, but nil the cures have beou p?rmanont, there being no return of the disease or any of the symptoms even after a lapse of many years. I was bloated and short of breath, making it very laborious for mo to walk. I suffered pain in my back and sides. My stomuch was also very sore and throbbed with pain. I was told I had kidney trouble and enlargement of the liver and spleen. I dually began trying Thompson's WaroBina and the first bottle reduced tho measurement uround my stomach from forty Inches to thirty-six Inches, nnd several bottles completely cured me. I gladly recom mend It to others. This was five years ago. M. S. LANCfv ORTHY. Tryon vllle, Pa E. O. Owen, a prominent rcldont of Troy Centre.
