"The Old Yellow Almanac."
When Ella Wheeler Wilcox wrote thi
poem, having for title the same heading a*
this artlole. she touched a chord that vi
brated in thousands of hearts. For Ayor'i
Almauao, "The Old Yellow Almunao ol
the poem, Is Intimately associated with tb
days and deeds of a large part of the world's
fiopulatlon. How large a part of the popu
atlon this general statement may Include
can be gathered from the faot that the
r early Issue of Ayer's Almanuo is from
7,000,000 to 95,000,000 copies. It Is printed
In twenty-eight editions and in some
eighteen languages, Including, besides Eng
lish—Spanish, Portuguese, Dutoh. German,
Swedish. Danish, Norwegian, Bohemian,
Welch, Italian, French, etc. The old style
almanac is looked upon by many as a rello
of antiquity, especially the "patent medi
cine almanuo," whose jokes are the butt
often of the very papers iu whose eolumns
they first appeared. But them are almanaoß
and alraanaos. Ever since Dr. Ayer's
Almanac has been put out it has employed
as high a class of mathematical and Astro-
Domical talent as is available Iu the country.
The result is that It stands on a par, in
respect of the reliability of its data and the
accuracy of its calculations with the U. B.
Nautical Almanac, and testimony to this faot
la found year after year in the letters, re
ferred to the almanao department of the
oorapany, from students ana mathematicians
In various parts of tho world. In its per
manence and reliability Ayer's Almanao
stands as a very flttiug type of the Ayer
Remedies—lndispensibla In the family aud
reliable every day In the year. The 1897
edition of thla useful almanao is now la
eourse of distribution through the druggists
of the country.

DOLL DRESSING BY WOMEN PRISONERS.

A SCHOOL OP MANNERS.
In Bnssia there is a school where
girls of sixteen are taught to meet the

girls dress very beantifnlly and live in

PEATHER AND FLOWER HATS.
At some of the leading millinery
shops, says Harper's Bazar, are still to
be soon hats and bonnets made entire
ly of flowers. This, of oourse, is not
a new style, but the shape is different
from that used for the last few months.
Violets] are the flowers generally
employed, and in spite of'their be
ing oalled flowor]hats, there knots
of velvet twisted in and out among tho
flowers. These hats are in toque shapes
or in big flat hats. Muoh newer arc
(ho hatsoomposed entirely of feathers.
These are mnde in turban shape, and
one of feathers of the green parrot is
very soft and effootive. Another is of
grebo-skin, whioh is so fashionable
with seal-skin far this winter. For
tanatoly these hats presont too serious
a disadvantage to make them nniver
sally popular—the feathers are rarely
beooming against the hair and skin,
so that there is not mnoh danger that
the poor birds will be slaughtered to
gratify a fad.]
BEAUTY OF THE CREOLE WOMEN.
As you see his face yon will know
that he (the croole hnsband or father)
realizes that 110 flower apon the lily
ooverod altar is half so fair or so flt
for tho templo's perfeot adorning as
his blooming wife and budding daugh
ters, who Bit in line beside him. If
ho does not think these things he is a
dullard—or, maybe, only half oreole.
•Perhaps his mother was an Ameriean,
or Sootoh. And then—? Perhaps ho
would not think them because they
might not be true. They would be
other things, other things jast as fine
and good, no doubt—thoy might even
have rare beauty of a different type—
but the Creole woman is a flower. She
is a magnolia or jasmine—occasionally
a camellia—or, espeoially when there
is a good warm drop of Spanish blood
in hor veins, she is a rod, red rose—a
rose too sweet to pass nntonohed but
for hor perfeot dignity and a piquant
hauteur that is as proteotive as any
thorn npon a rose's stem.
Properly speaking, or rather, nar
rowly spoaking, the oreole is on Amori
oan, born of Frenoh or Spanish par
ents, or of both, and, striotly, both
parents shonld themselves bo foreign
liorn ; bnt the oreole is often only the
great-great grandson of a oreole, and
some of their familios of purest blood
oould not reaoh the mother country
without going baok through throe or
four American-born generations.—

Homo Journal.
IMITATIONS THAT TEMPT.
Women with an inborn tasto for
beantifnl things, bnt with no exten
sive means of gratifying it, are this
season more than ever tompted by a
brilliant display of inferior imitations
of very many of the splendid fabrios
and garnitures now tho rage—spangled
deoorations, velvets, furs, ribbons,
fanoy jewelry, jet, feathers, eto. Sim
ple articles of wear that are genuine
ate always a far better choice than
elaborate imitations of tho richest. A
meretricious stylo never commends
admiration, and inferior goods quickly
betray their quality. Best material
with longer wear is the safest rule for
those who have not been overblessed
by fortune. But, whilo holding out a
warning against tho purohase at boo
ond-rato materials, it is not to be un
derstood that there are no valuable
and beautiful fabrios and trimmings
that are not high-prioed. Never has
there been an age or a year in history
where so muoh that is gennine anil
really desirable oould be purohased at
so low a price as now. It is in the
choice and opportunity presented for
ohoioe for real valuable textiles that is
the secret and point of this matter. It
is not necessary for the woman of
modest means, who lovos, for instanoe,
dainty laoes, to seleot a poor imita
tion of a real hand-mado design. Tba
stores everywhere provide her with
beantiful "fanoy" laoes that imitate
nothing, bat appear upon their own
charming, attractive merits, laoes pro
daaed by almost miraculous intricate
maohine processes—delicate of pat
turn, dainty as a oobweb, and beauti-
fal enough in effoot to satisfy any but
a critic lavish of means and so prod
igal of money and the rarities it can
provide, that nothing in the world is
quite right or quite good enough for
satiated tastes. No, there is a very
great difference between tho meretri
cious materials which tempt so many
women and those which are inexpen
sive yet desirable and beautiful, and
one has only to make a holiday tour
of our stores, now so brilliantly and
temptingly arrayed, to perceive with
her own eyes this particular difference
and distinction.—New York Post.

Wraps of blaok velvet aro lined with

By far tho prettiost glove to wear
with a blaok jaoket is of black dressed

Entire costumes of brown velveteen
havo vests of yellow broadeloth, satin
or cloth of gold, with additional trim

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS,
GOOD MUTTON.
Mutton must be ohosen by the firm
ness and finonoss of the grain, its eolor,
und the firm white fat. Lamb that
has been killed too long oan be dis
covered by examination of the veins
in the ncok. These are blueish when
the meat is fresh, Dut green when it is
stale. In the hind quarter, the point
to examine is the knnokle, whioh is
not firm when the meat is not per
fectly fresh.
THAT COLD DINNED.
Farmers' children who have to walk
a mile or more to sohool should be
provided with substantial lunches,
especially in winter timo. Buttered
bread, cake and oookies are insuffi
cient nourishment after the long morn
ing walk and three hours of study;
the afternoon session and homeward
walk sharpens up their appetites, and
as a rule they go stiaight to tho pan
try as soon aB thoy get homo, oat an
other cold lunch and consequently
spoil their suppor, It is not strange
that so many country children, who
should be the most vigorous, have
stomaoh troubles before thoy ore in
their teens.
Mothers should make a speoial study
of oold dinners, having thorn as varied
and nourishing as possible, and besides
this, have tho children's supper early.
This will be convenient in winter, for
we all like our evening meal at 5 o'olook,
but it summer it nuoessitatos an extra
meal, especially when the Bupper is to
be hearty—for digestion should be
well begun before the early bod hour.
At first it will seem quito a task, but
one will soon become used to it, and
it pays in the end; in haying and har
vesting, especially when extra help is
hired, it is inuoh nioer for the mother
and childien to have their tea before
tho men folks.
When we stop to oonsidor, it is a
long wait for tho growing ohild (tho
timo botween the early brenkfast and
the 0 o'olook supper, the only hearty
meals they have), unless the oold
lunches are made more nourishing.
Wo have known of many cases where
children (not of poor parents, either)
have boon ashamed to open their lunoh
baskot before the others, its oontents
being so meager and uninviting—left
oovers, anything thnt happened to bo
cooked. This is all wrong; it is but
a trifle more work to prepare them
nioo lunohes, oookiug the urtiolea on
the provious day while getting dinner.
Of bread and butter there should be
plenty, and cold meat as often as pos
sible ; veal or beef loaf are nioe lunoh
dishos and are very inexpensive;
smoked fish, salmon, halibut or even
herring is good for an oocasioual re
lish ; hard-boiled eggs are nioe onoe
in a while, also oottago oheese,
moulded in cups. Nioe sandwiohes
may be made fioni odd bits of meat or
fish chopped fine and moistened with
salad-dressing. When ohiokens come
upon the bill of fare, save some of the
wings and forelegs that are the favor
ite pieces for tho majority of ohildren ;
thoy will enjoy them tho next day at
sohool.
There are many wholesome and ap
petizing dishos that may bo taken
from any modern oook book. Health
ful dainties, such as sponge oake, gra
ham wafers, oream gingerbread, oat
meal oookies and fruits, should be
provided instead of rioh pastries.
Baked apples and oup oustnrds are
nice, also small oups of jelly (beef ex
truot oups aro about tho right size)
will be approoiated; oranborry and
apple-sago jellies are very appetizing,
and At the same timo inexpensive.
Always provide napkins ; paper ones
will do, and they are sold as ohoap as
12} cents por huudrod. Parafflne paper
is oapital for keopiDg bread, oake, eto.,
fresh, and it oan be used several times.
Small tin boxes are convenient for
packing meat or fish. If a ohild's ap
petito fails, as is often the oase in the
spring time, have tho lunohes pre
pared out of her sight, and have "sur
prises" as often as possible.—Now

Tlgor tiratitnde.
The Pall Mall Gazette recalls a diffi
cult operation whioh waa successfully
performed in the Zoological Gardens,
Dublin, a few years ago. . One of the
finest tigers in the oollootion waa
threatened with gangrene in its paw,
the olaw having been distorted and
gfown into the foot. Bev. Samuel
Houghton, M. D., Senior Fellow ol
Trinity College, Dublin, and a well
known personage in the Irish metropo
lis, undertook to perform tho danger
ous experiment of operating on tho
paw.
The mate of the tiger was first se
cured in a side den. A not waa thrown
over the tiger, and he waa drawn for
ward to the door of the oage. Four
stout keepers then held the feet of
the struggling animal, while Professor
Houghton out away the diseased olaw.
The suffering beast furiously endeav
ored to get at him during the opera
tion, but the rage of the tigress look
ing on through the bars of the side
den was muoh more terrible. She
roared and fiuug herself violently
again and again against the barriers in
her mad desire to go to the rescue of
her mate.
When the tigress was admitted to
the oage after the wound of her mate
had been dressed and the net removed,
she turned up the paw and examined
it with tonohing sclioitude, and thon
lioked her mate as a oat lioks her kit
ten to soothe him, purring softly tho
while. Bat perhaps the most oxtror
dinary part of the affair waa the se
quel, A week later Professor Hough
ton was again at the Zoo to see how
Ilia patient waa going on. When tho
auimal espied him he began to purr
like a oat, allowed him to examine his
Saw and seemed pleased that ho should
o so. Indeed, for years afterward the
tiger and tigress showed themselves
most friendly and grateful to Profes
sor Houghton.

to $lO a week, and he earns it fully.
What the buyer is to the inner man
agement of the store be is to the out

than a politely oourenieut living di
rectory, who knows promptly that tho
ribbon sale is seven oonnters down to

be fouucl at the end of the middle
aisle on tho third floor. Saoh matters
as these are the simplest of hie duties.

to stand as a buffer betweou tho sales

havo grievances against tho store for
goods missont or other mistakes made;
to see that tho rules are obeyed; in
short, to bo the arbiter of conduct
and store etiquette; theso are enough
to guard him against ennui. Under a
combination of a farseeing, shrowd

"aisle manager," ss ho profers to bo

Seneca's Medal.
In the possession of the Ked Jacket
Club of Oanandalgua Is a medal which,
the members of the club believe, wai
given to the famous Seneca chief by
George Washington. Other folks have
frequently questioned the authenticity
of this relic, much to the Indignation
of the Oanondalguans, who assert that
Its claims to respect are beyond doubt
Medals almost exact duplicates of Red
Jacket's, they admit, were presented
to other Indians of note about the time
when Red Jacket received his, but this
one is distinguished from all the rest
because on Its reverse there are four
teen stars Instead of fifteen, and re
malned In the hands of a single family
from the time of the chiefs death until
It became the property of Its preseui
owners.

Motor and Misery.
Compressed air as a motive power for
street railways will in timo supersede eleo
trio wires and the trolley. Necessity and In
vention make rapid changes, but some old,
sure, unfailing methods will hold good for
all time. The nerves are the electric wires
of the human system, and often "(angle out
of tune," lis when neuralgia slips the trolley
of the system and it grinds and groans with
gain. The 01.l motor for the cure of pain,
t. Jacobs Oil, will ulways act as electric In
fluence on the pain stricken nerves, ana will
send a current of cure through the disor
dered wires, and bring about a perfect resto
ration. Nothing new can Improve upon what
is known to be the best and surest In the
treatment of painful diseases.
CUKE THAT COLD!
An Old Physician Gives Some Timely
Advice.
A cold In the head is regarded as such a
simple matter that few people pay any at
tention to it. The majority of cases recover
entirely from the effects of a cold in a few
weoks at most, and thus couflrm the general
Idea that a cold amounts to very little. But
there aro a great number of apparently
trivial colds that do not disappear. The
eold lingers week after week, aud the pa
tient Anally discovors to his hotror that he
has chronic catarrh. This state of things
could easily have been prevented by taking a
few tiosee of Fe-ru-na whentho cold was con
tracted. Po-ru-na invariably cures colds In
a few days aud saves lncalou'ablo suffering.
No one should neglect to keep Po-ru-na con
stantly in the house duringthe winter, as its
value In catarrhal affections is certain.
An instructively illustrated book on colds
and other diseases of winter will bo sent free
to any address by the Po-ru-na Drug Manu
facturing Company, Columbus, Ohio.
