Wien this life stream is flowing- through the system In a state oi ity and richness we ore assured of perfect and uninterrupted health; Base pure blood is nature's safe-gaara against disease. When, however, the body is fed on weak, impure or polluted blood, the system Is deprived of its strength, disease germs coliect, and the trouble is manifested in various i ways. Pustular emotions, pimples, rashes and the different skin affections Show that the blood is in a feverish and diseased condition a3 a result of too much acid or the presence of some irritating humor. Sores and Ulcers are the result of morbid, unhealthy matter in the blood, and Rheumatism. Ca tarrh, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison, etc, are all deep-seated blood disorders that will continue to grow worse as loag as the poison remains.

Often a slnggish, inactive conditioa of the system, and torpid state of the Avenues of bodily waste, leaves the refuse and waste matters to sour and form aric and other acids, which are taken up by the blood and distributed throughout the circulation. Coming in contact with contagious diseases is another cause for the poisoning of the blood; we also breathe the germ3 and microbes of Malaria into our lungs, and when these get into the blood in ?efficient quantity it becomes a carrier of disease instead of health.

It is amaning that so common a dif ficulty as Cjspepsla should be ' o little anderstehy the general public and that its remedy should be so hard to find. But it can be cured, and without any marvelous nostrums, by observing a few important rules of health, says the Kansas City Times. The dyspep tic must first fix in his mind the fact that his ailment is the result of bad habits of eating and living and that these must be changed and that drugs will do him no good. He must begin by avoiding all starchy foods, as pota toes, rice, oatmeal, beans, etc. Meats, soft boiled eggs, milk toast, zwieback, etc., are the best foods for avoiding fermentatiou and the gas that causes dyspepsia pains. In serious cases but termilk is one of the best dependen cies. Another is boiled milk with a slight addition of limewater. Either of these will enable the most chronic dyspeptic to procure some sustenance without serious distress. lie should drink freely of hot water, at least two quarts a day, always tak ing a glass half an hour before meal time. He should not crowd his meals close together, as with an impaired digestion it is often best to have the meals six or seven hours or more apart. The rule to be followed is that a new meal should not be eaten until the previous one is digested or out of the way and the stomach has had a little rest, and there must be further rest after eating. It is absolutely essential to eat slow ly and chew with the greatest thor oughness. Complete chewing in the mouth, permitting no washing down with coffee or tea, salivates the food so that it is ready for digestion when it goes Into the stomach, and persis tence will put good flesh on any lean dyspeptic. There is a theory that when solid food is chewed in the mouth to an absolute pulp that the organs in the back of the mouth exercise a selec tive action and send to the stomach only that which is fitted to be convert ed iuto blood and tissue, thus relieving the digestive organs of handling the waste. Whether or not this is correct is for the science of the future to de termine. Certain it is that nature gave us grinding teeth for the purpose of chewing our food and never Intended that we should swallow it unehewed, as do those animals having more than one stomach. How to Treat Waxed Floors. Those who have waxed floors in their dwellings know, according to In doors and Out, how invaluable turpen tine is in cleaning them. With sand paper or steel wool, dipped in turpen tine, the blackest coating, which is apt to accumulate in winter on waxed floors not frequently polished, can be easily and quickly removed, and a washing with turpentine does much to brighten up any waxed floor prepara tory to the application of a light fresh coat of wax and polishing with the weighted brush. As with all other painters' materials, however, turpen tine is shamefully adulterated, and care must be taken to get oniy the best and purest from some thoroughly reliable dealer. The usual adulter ant is cheap benzine, and as benzine turns good floor wax a dirty while tur pentine so adulterated nas an injurious effect on the floor. The floor "waxes" made with tallow show less effect from adulterated turpentine, but the wise householder will use only those floor waxes which are made with bees wax and turpentine, with a little par affin, but no tallow. How to Renovate Old Silk. Old silk renovated In the following way will retain its luster and look as well as when new, says Harper's Ba zar: Put two ounces of alcohol, a ta blespoonful of mucilage or strained honey, a rounded tablespoonful of soft soap (dissolve a small piece of good quality in water) and two cups of soft water in a bottle and shake until well mixed. Sponge the silk on both sides with the mixture, rubbing well, and then shake up and down in a tub of cold or cool water, neither nibbing nor wringing. Hold by the edge aud flap off the water, pin the edges to the line, and while still damp iron between cloths or paper with an iron only mod erately hot. How to Care For the Piano. A piano is as sensitive to cold and heat as an Invalid, so It must not be put too near a fire or' the wood is drawn by the heat. Never leave it near an open window if it is raining or this will rust the wires and mold the in side. Such an instrument should not be put too close to a wall or the sound will be deadened, and it should be kept closed when not In use. The keys should be dusted dally with an old silk handkerchief. If they become yellow from neglect, rub them with lemon juice and a little whiting. Do not let the dust fall between the keys. How to Clean an Engraving. To clean an engraving place the pic ture on a smooth deal board and cover It thinly with common salt which has been finely crushed. Squeeze lemon juice on to the salt till it is dissolved. Raise the board at one end and pour boiling water on to the engraving till all the lemon aud salt are washed off. The engraving should then appear quite clean and free from stains. Leave it on the board till perfectly dry. How to Invent a Monkey Wrench. If one hasn't a monkey wrench or a pair of pliers at hand a straight edge nutcracker is just as good and In most cases l>etter, because it Is easily ad justed aud the notches keep it from slipping.

Here are some of the- queerest of them from the four corners of the | earth. ' In Rotrmania the infant's >ankle Is bound up with a red ribbon Immedi ately after birth to ward off the evil spirits. In Ireland, for the same ^reason, a strand of woman's hair is placed in the cradle. In the West Indies the negroes fol low the same customs as the women In Roumauia but their ribbon is blue instead of red. If they have no ribbon they make a mark with wash ing blue upon the child. In Russia there is r superstition that a baby and a kitten canaot thrive in the same house. One Is sure to pine away and die, so pussy is always driven away as soon as a baby cctnes. Most English women think it is ex tremely unlucky to carry a baby downstairs before it has journeyed upward. If the baby is born on aD upper floor and there are no stairs to climb, the mother must hold her darling high up in the air, standing upon a chair or table and only then can it be taken downstairs in safety. This superstition is also common in France and Germany, and even 'in some parts of this country. Another English superstition is that the baby whe does not cry when it is christened will have bad luck all through life, if the infant insists on being good, the mother pinches it to j make the cry come. In Spain the women say that a baby under a year old should not be allowed to look in a mirror; other wise, it will grow up proud and haughty. Most mothers are very much alarm ed when their babies fall out of bed or off their laps, but in India the wo men think it is an excellent omen. Id Ireland there is a similar superstition which says that unless the baby falls] out of bed four times before it is year old it will be a hopeless idiot. Novelties in Metal and Wood. Folks who are on the lookout for new things pertaining to the house* " fl It hold will find much to interest them. The general demand for novelties stimulates the inventors, designers and manufacturers with results that in many instances are very gratify ing to the seeker for the latest dec orative and useful productions. Royal copper and silver have the preference this season in metals, the former showing a peculiarly bricht luster. The combination is delight fully represented in vases and loving cups, two examples of which are shown in the accompanying' group. The mounting of silver presents an effective contrast to the reddish gleam of the copper and these orna ments, being new. are likely to re ceive much attention from the ad mirers of artistic metal work. The cigar case shows how copper mounting is utilized to impart a decorative note to an unpretentious box ai.'d the blotter with its mounting of royal copper is the latest thing iu desk accessories. A fern dish or jardiniere of weath ered oak is in keeping with the fancy that has developed of late for furni ture of this dark wood, both in ttv.' mission style and more ornate de signs. The mounting of silver re lices the excessive plainness of the fern holder and for a library or an j apartment where dark oak furniture predominates this Jardiniere would make a most harmonious aduition. I There are clocks galore, stain and ornate, for special apartments and genera! use, but the most distinctive Of late designs is the one here shown in weathered oak. The dial is an un common one. the ho...-s being indi cated by playing cards, while poker chips constitute the central decora tion. In a den or card room such a clock would fit in admirably, the sim plicity of the casing and Us dark oi orin'j adding to its appropriateness. Clocks such as these arc not to bo had for a song, and therefore are not likely to become rery common. Wearing Imitation Jewelry. It is not unusual for the woman who li!;ij> to make a display of jewel ry to have the real gems remover: from their setting and fine imitations substituted. These are worn during the summer, and even her besl friends?or enemies?cannot detect the difference, bul recognize only thc famous fashion of the setting. Hair Used as Thread. A clever woman traveler mended ;> rent in her town by using a hair f:on her head as thread for the" needle s'u always carries in her purse. "I used to have a great relish for practical jokes." "Don't you still enjoy themV" "No, not since I'm married." Notice to Our Customers.

And there we meet, my only one. That walks alone among them all, Through memories of other days, Our eyes meet, remember and recall. ?Bessie Glen Buchanan. A TRIUMPH OF ORDER. ASQUAD of regular Infantry In the Commune's closing days Had captured a crowd of rebels ^ By the wall of Pero-la-Chaisc. There were desperate men, wild women And dark eyed nmazon girls And one little boy, with a peach down check And yellow clustering curls. The captain seized the little waif And said. "What dost thou here?" "Saprlsti, citizen captain, I'm a Communist, my dear!" "Very well. Then you die with the oth ers.'" "Very well. Thai's my affair. But first let me take to my mother, Who lives by the wine shop there, / "My father's watch. You see It? A pay old thins, is it not? It would please the old lady to have It. Then I'll come back here and be shot." "That's the last we shaU see of him." The grizzled captain grinned As the little man skimmed down the hill, Liko a swallow down the wind. For the joy of killing had lost Its zest In the glut of those awful days, 'And Death writhed gorged like a greedy snake * From the arch to,Pere-la-ChaIse. But before the last platoon had fired The child's shrill voice was heard. "Houp la, the old girl made such a row I feared I should break my word!" Against the bullet pitted wall He took his place with the rest. A button was lost from his ragged blouse, Which showed his soft white breast. "Now blaze away, my children. With your little one, two, three!" The chassepots tore the stout young heart And saved Society. ?John Hay. BOY O* DREAMS. Tl TUST I leave you in the mountains, Boy o' dreams? Must I teave you where the fountains Toss the silver of their streams? Where the trees are clothed in samite And the little broken moon Is a symbol and an answer Like the reading of a rune? MAY I take you to the city, Boy o' dreams? Where your heart will break with pity At the lethargy that seems Only half alive to living. Only enemy to mirth, Where the dusty facts will blind you To the fancies of the earth? IMUST take you. but I'll keep you, Boy o' dreams. Where no alien winds shall sweep you, In a secret place that gleams With the light of roar own laughter? Yours the vessel, rc urs the chart? And we ll brave the jtorms together, You?the captain of my heart! ?Helen Whitney. THE BROKEN VASE. [HE vase In which this flower died Was cracked by just a gentle tap From some one's fan who brushed beside. No sound betrayed the slight mis hap. I The little wound, past hope of cure, Eating the crystal day by day, Invisible and still and sure, Around the bowl has made its way. And. one by one. to. shrink and dry, The ebbing drops thu flower forsake, And no one knows the reason why, But tourh It not or It will break! Sometimes the hand that most is dear W.I1I touch the heart hi careless wise; The small wound widens year on year. And love's rare flower droops and dies. Still fair and whole to stranger gaze. It feels within it burn and wake The thin, deep wound that inly preys; Oh, touch it not, or it will break! ?Sully Prudhomme. SOLITUDE. rriHERE Is a pleasure In the pathless -*- woods; There Is a rapture on the lonely shore; There Is society where none intrudes By the deep sea and music in Its roar. I love not man the less, but nature more. From these our interviews, in which I steal From all I may be or have been before, Tu mingle with the universe and feel What 1 can ne'er express, yet canr.ot all conceal. ?Lord Byron. AIRSHIPS.
