amon coms | A GUARDSMAN’S TROUBLE, From the Detroit (Mieh,) Journal, The promptness with which the National Guard of the different states responded to President McKinley’s call for troops atthe beginning of the war with Spain made the whole country proud of its citizen soldiers. In Detroit there are few guardsmen more pular and efficient han Max R. Davies, first sergeant of Co. B. He has been a resident of Detroit for the past 81X years, and his home is at 416 Third Avenue. For four years he was connected with the well known wholesale drug house of Farrand, Williams & Clark, in the g&tpacity of book- wien fee “I have charged up many thousand orders for Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People,” said Mr. Davies, ‘but never knew their worth The First Sergeant, until I used them for the cure of chronic dyspepsia. For two years I suffered and doctored for the aggravating trouble but could only be helped temporarily. “I think dyspepsia is one of the most stubborn of ailments, and there is scarcely a clerk or office man but what is more or less a victim. Some days I could eat any- thing, while at other times I would be starving. Those distressed pains would force me to quit work. “I tried hot-water treatment thorough- ly, but it did not affect my case. I have tried many advertised remedies but they would help only for a time. A friend of T™mine recommended Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, butI did not think much of them. “T finally was induced to try the pills and commenced using them, After taking afew doses 1 found much relief. I do not remem- ber how many boxes of the pills I used, but I used them until the old trouble stopped. I know they will cure dyspepsia of the worst form and I am pleased to recommend them.” Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are sold by all dealers, or will be sent postpaid on receipt of price, 50 cents a box or six boxes for 2.50, by addressing Dr. Williams’ Medicine pany, Schenectady, N.

A Wolf at the Door. “Please tell us a story, grandma, dear, Something that happened when you were young, Were you ever chased by a big, black bear? Did you ever look at a Wolf's red tongue? Were the wildcats bad in the long ago? - And were you afraid? O, we want to know. “OQ, dear! we forgot, you lived in town, In an old brick house on a quiet street, Where wildcats never went roaming ‘round And the cabbage-roses were fresh and sweet, But out in the woots where the trees are high, Did you ever hear, grandma, a panther’s cry?” Then said grandma, nodding her wise old head: “There once came a wolf to my very door; My mother was ailing my father was dead, And, O, my dearies, but we were poor. Those were dreary days and nights of woe While the wolf stood watching and wouldn't go. “Then the Lerd sent a laddie both brave and strong, led the beast and he drove it ears ago, but it seems not long Since the dear lad came to my help that day.” Grandma looked at grandpa with shining eyes— And they kissed each other to our sur- prise. —A. Baker, in the Independent. 5 Dogs. Books and a Park. The women of Kansas City have dis- covered a way of making the surplus dogs pay for the intellectual entertain- ment and instruction of the public. An observing member of the Woman’s club of that city had her attention called to the fact that there were 4,000 dogs in its purposes. It is called “Le Ladies’ club,” and has handsome quarters in the Rue Duerre. Widows are the pre- ferred class of members, and married women are only admitted as members after furnishing proof in writing of their husbands’ consent. The club holds ‘over a hundred members. On ordinary occasions men are forbidden to cross the threshold, but the club is organiz- ing a series of entertainments, to which men will be invited as guests. New Style of Hat Trimming, The sketch represents a style of hat trimming which has been immensely popular this season.

It is trimmed with tea rose yellow silk, veiled over with black chenille spotted net, fastened in front by a diamond buckle and quills.

Dr. ll. H. GREEN'S SONS, suantay framictea vet Thompson’s Eye Water. Kansas City and only 2,000 books in its public library, an institution that was being permitted to starve by private subscfiptions. She also observed that the public park had a frayed-out ap- pearance, betokening a plentiful lack of means for its maintenance. She further observed that the public im- pounder did not find more than one- half the dogs when looking for taxes, and one-half of this one-half was di- verted to his own pockets as collection fees, Bringing the matter before the club, this:Kansas City’ feminine lover of books and parks proposed that the su- perfiuous dogs be made to support both library and park. The club seconded the motion, and went at the city coun- cil hammer and tongs, securing the passage of an ordinance creating the office of dog enumerator and the ap- pointment of an enumerator who would not let a dog escape enrollment nor a dog-owner escape the payment of the dog tax. The dog ordinance was con- structed like the darkey’s coon trap, to catch the dog coming or going. If those who kept dogs admitted owner- ship they were required to pay the tax. If they disclaimed ownership and re- fused to pay the tax they were fined for maintaining a nuisance, as the or- dinance declared dogs without owners nuisances. This cinch of a dog tax ordinance has been in operation for six months. As a net result 1,400 volumes have been added to the library and the park be- gins to bear some resemblance to a real park, At this rate Kansas City will have a library and a park to be proud of if dogs continue to be popular and the zeal of the dog enumerator con- tinues unabated.

Daily Hint From Paris, The illustration represents a petti- coat of pompadour striped taffetas, by Balls & Dehayes. It is ornamented with a flounce set in upon a purling of lace and trimmed with Valenciennes lace and insertion.—New York Herald. The Mother of the Khedive, The following lavish description of the Princess Eminak is from the Hu- men’s clubs in being purely social in | manitarian: The khedivia mother (whe is also known as Princess Eminah) is @ woman of rare beauty; a complexion + in which the rose and the lily blend is enhanced by her brilliant black eyes and hair, while the faultless contour of her exquisitely serene countenance comports admirably with the majestic figure of a woman who is indeed every inch a queen; one cannot realize that this youthful woman is the mother of the sedate khedive. Her charming sis- ter-in-law, the Princess Fatmah, whose guest I was, is equally youthful in ap- pearance, and one would never sus- pect her to be the mother of two mar- ried offspring, the oldest of whom is fully 26 years old. This sunny-natured Woman seems to carry the spring of per- petual girlhood in her heart, a wealth of golden hair crowns her regally pois- ed head, the energy of overflowing vi- tality dominates her every action, but her wonderful eyes hold one spell- bound by their ever-changing depths, which my most critical scrutiny never enabled me to fathom, nor can I now describe their color, whether blue, black or brown. The rare beauty of these la- dies may be a hereditary trait from their Caucasian ancestry, of which they manifest as great pride as does the Eu- ropean regarding his Saxon origin, and I had indisputable evidence that their brilliancy of: complexion was due only to nature, and the bath, not to cos- metics, of which, however, the orient has no deficiency. Systematic Housekeeping. We hear much of the monotonous drudgery of housekeeping and all its attendant trials and cares, and that these do exist no one who is competent to judge of the matter will deny. Nev- ertheless, the entire absence of all sys- tem in the management of domestic af- fairs has many more wrinkles and grey hairs to answer for. If only a little of the automatic orderliness which pre- vails in a business house, could be in- troduced into household management, the latter would not be such a burden- some task, nor would it so frequently “get on the nerves” of both mistress and maid, causing insignificant matters to loom up out of all proportion to their real importance, The thorough systematizing of the work, and an earnest, hard-thinking hour or two spent in the morning is worth more than all the half-hearted yet harassing attentions of the whole day, and after this, the whole matter should be put on one side. It is this never-ending condition of the duties which makes them so distasteful to ser- vants, but there is no really practical reason why they should be so intermin- able, for by proper distribution of the tasks, and the co-operation of all con- cerned, the hours of household labor could be almost as well defined as in any other form of work. Two or three “lady-helps,” when questioned as to what they considered the greatest drawbacks to poor gentle- women becoming domestics, all seemed to agree, in different words, that it was not the necessary manual labor, which rendered housework so distasteful, but having no “time to oneself,” in which to throw off the shackles and realize that one had an individuality. Un- fortunately, the average housemistress is,strongly imbued with the idea, not that she has engaged a woman to per- form certain duties for a certain wage, but that she has bought twenty-four hours a day of her time. The spirit in which she argues is, that when the al- lotted tasks are finished, still the time is hers—what right has the servant to read novels, write letters, sew finery, during those twenty-four hours which she has bought? |, Tea Kisses, Take a teacupful of sugar—use a tea- cup of ordinary size—weigh it, and al- low half the quantity in butter. Take two cupfuls of flour, work the butter into it, then the sugar. Sift over all a teaspoonful of baking powder. Beat two eggs, and add them to the mixture, with two tablespoonfuls of milk. When the cake is mixed, take up the dough a tablespoonful at a time, and drop it on a buttered baking tin. Sprinkle with castor sugar, and bake in a sharp ovep for about five minutes. Jam Rolls. Mix together a teacup of flour and castor sugar, and a teaspoonful of bak- ing-powder. Break two eggs into a cup, turn them into the center of the flour, and beat all together for ten min- utes. Spread evenly on a greased tin, and bake in a very quick oven for sey- en to ten minutes. Turn out on toa piece of paper strewn with sugar, spread with jam, and roll at once. Sweet Curds. Prepared rennet can be procured by the bottle at any grocers, and directions for making the curd will be found on the bottle. This dish can be prepared in a few minutes by mixing the rennet with the warm milk. When cold sprinkle with nutmeg, and eat with sugar and cream. If one has not the cream the addition of an egg well beat- en, and a little sugar will make a pretty and satisfactory dish. It Never Does.
