ART OF CONVERSATION. How to Talk In an Entertaining and Correct IV. anner. It is strange thai we are uot all more proficient In the art of conversa tion v'h'ti. if we stujj ;o think i; over, we realize that it plays so im4?<?r;aui a part lu one's social life. 'Ihe tirst point to remember Is to try to moder ate the voice. A u?turally high pitch ed harsh voice can easily l>e trained so that eventually it will l>e soft aud musical. Every one appreciates the sweet toned voices ot the Englishwom en, and there is no reason why the voices of the American women should not be the same if proper attention is paid to their training, says Elizabeth BIddle in the Philadelphia Press. We should also try to speak correct ly, avoid all slang .^nd provincialism and enunciate all the words us clearly as possible. If one wishes to be really entertaining in conversation she must not only have culture auJ a ready wit. but she must have sympathy, simplic ity and sincerity and above all. a real interest In ber subject The following rules are safe ones to follow: Look people in the face when you talk to them. Talk often, but never long, so as to give ethers an opportu nity of expressing their opinions, aud show a courteous respect for another's point of view. In arguments give fair play, and If the dbx-ussion continues beyond the limit of good taste let the matter drop. Sometimes, you know, "silence is golden." This Is unquestionably true in regard to gossiping. "Talk of things. Mot people." is a safe .rule to follow. And If oue must talk of people tell of their good quali ties, not their faults and failiugs. In discriminate praise is absurd and weak ens oue's judgment. If you are easily embarrassed, yoh should force yourself to talk and be come accustomed to ihe sound of your own voice, but do cot feel obliged to talk incessantly. Try to be perfectly natural and at ease and always ready with small courtesies, even with chil dren and servants. A sympathetic and responsive listen er is as much to be desired as one who can talk well. How to Buy a Couch. There Is not a piece of furniture so difficult to buy as a couch, for only those who know a great deal about fur niture cau tell you what composes a couch, and one hears that the decep tion is in a miserable wooden frame filled wiih a little of everything and covered with material which scou fades, says the Chicago News. Be lieve It that pantasote outwears geuu iae leather. It steys nicer, is more easily renewed aDd Is much easier to ?se for upholstering purposes than al most any other kind of material. You should .look on the underside' of a couch before buying it and see whether it is well stayed w. tb braces and not merely lined with thin burlap, which sifts shavings and sawdust every time the couch is moved or touched. There Is no economy in buying a cheap couch, for It only stands to reason that the covered framework is the refuse wood of a factory. How to Clean a Sewing Machine. Sewing is not hai:' as hard as some people find it if the sewing machine is kept in good running order. When the sewing machine works hard and heavily take the needle aud shuttle out and give every joint and bear'.ig a generous bath of gasoline. Of cc-:se there should not be a lighted lamp or fire of auy kind in the room. Turn the wteels briskly for a few moments to enable the gasoline to penetrate every part and to loosen and wash away the old oil and grime; then cle.\n it all away. When all the grime and oil nave been removed oil with proper lu bricating oil. runnbig the machine for two or three mlnu:3s before Inserting the needle. Now w:.tb a piece of cham ois skin wipe away all superfluous oil. It is a pleasure to sew on a machine treated In this man ier.,. - CASTOR IA Por Infants and Children.

No. 1, Hickory Point, Tcnn., "writes: "I am happy to tell you that I am cured of catarrh. I have followed your good and'kind ad , Ice faithfully. I bless the day when 1 wrote you of my condition, and I will a. Ways praise Peruna. I think it is one of the grandest medicines on earth. ?'Having 1 een afflicted with catarrh and stomaci .trouble for seven years and after having tried four different doctors they only r lieved me for a little while. I gave up al hope of b^Ing cured. I only weighed 13<> pounds, and was so weak I could hardl v get around the room. "I was induced to try Peruna, and to my great surprise I am now entirely well. My w eight is now 1SS pounds, my health never was better in my life. "I shall always praise Dr. Hartman and his remedies." Thousands of families have learned the use of Peruna and its value in the treatment of catarrhal ailments. Tired, Worn-Out Mothers. Mrs. Lydia H. Josselyn, 501 Westminster St., Providence? R. I.,isTreasurer of the Editors League of Rhode Island, char tered in Providence. She writes: "My experience with Peruna has been most gratifying. Last winter I contracted a severe cold, and for several d ay s / coughed until my voice failed me. When other remedies did me no good, I decided to try Peruna, and within four days the cold was broken up, and the cough abated. "Within another week an increase in my usual strength and vitality told me that Peruna was doing all thatltprom Ised, and more. Ialsoconsiderit very su perior for tired, worn-out mothers, and have advised several to try it, and have seen most gratifying results from its use. "I give it highest praise." Bowel jrouble. Mrs. Maggie Durbin, 1332 North St., Little Rock, Ark., writes: "I was troubled for five years with a chronic disease. I tried everything I heard of, but nothing did me any good. Some doctors said my trouble was ca tarrh ot the bowels, and some said con sumption of tho bowels. "Ono doctor said he could euro me. I took his medicine two months. But it did me no good. "A friend of mine advised me to try Peruna aud I did t.o. After I had taken two bottles I found it was helping me, so I continued its use, and it has cured me sound and well. "I can recommend Peruna to any one, and if any one wants to know what Pe runa did for mo if they will write to me I will answer p-omptly." Peruna is a household remedy of great merit, and is useful in many climatic ailments, such us coujrhs, colds, sore throat, bronchitis ;.nd catarrhal diS'?n-,<?s generally. Hiss Jessie B Farreli Biliousness, Indigestion. Mrs. Lena R. Moudy, 55G Cay wood St., Portland, Oregon, Sec'y Royal Tribe of Joseph, writes: "For the past six years biliousness and pains in my back and limbs made life miserable to me. My skin was sallow and dry, and indigestion was added to my troubles. I was wake-1 ful at night and would get a weak, faint feeling during the day so that1 I was not fitted to attend to my reg ular duties. This caused me serious annoyance and trouble, and I nat urally vried many remedies, hoping to get relief. "Peruna came as a friend In need. It toii?d up the system, relieved the blood of the poisons and induced a healthy action of the stomach, a fine appetite and restful sleep. ^Within three months I was a changed person, and for nearly a year now I have enjoyed splendid health." A Grateful Patient. Mrs. Eliza J. Cazee, R. P. D.S, Bedford, Tnd., writes: "I have been cured bo using Peruna and Manalin. I thank you lor your advice." Restorer of Lost Strength. Miss Bcssio Parrell, 1011 Third Ave., Brooklyn, N. Y., is President of the Young People's Christian Temperance Association. She writes: "Peruna is certainly a valuable nerve and blood remedy, calculated to build up tho broken-down health of worn-out women. 1 havo found by personal experience that it acts as a wonderful restorer of lost strength, assisting tho stomach to assimilate and digest the food, and building up worn-out tissues. In my work I have had occasion to recommend it fre quently, especially to sick women. "I know of nothing which is better to build up the strength of a young mother, in fact all the ailments pecul iar to women, so I am pieosed to give it my hearty endorsement." Pe-ru-na a Woman's Friend. Mrs. Ella Embree, Clark, Mo., writes: "1 am feeling better than I havo felt for years. I can truthfully say that Peruna is a woman's friend. I havo no more terrible pains and am stronger than I havo been. Your medicine has worked like a charm." Bilious Headache. Mrs. Emily Kellogg, 5049 S. Lawrence St., South Tacoma, Wash., member of Ladies of the Maccabees, writes: "Three months ago I had an attack of biliousness which thrcatoncd to undermine my health and strength. Luckily for mo, I tried Peru na at the suggestion of my friends before it was too late. "I found in a fow days time that 1 did not have the usual sick headache, neith er did food nauseate me any longer. In iwo weeks' time Peruna had completely rid my system of the poison and bile, and 1 was In a much better condition. My skin assumed its normal color, I had a splendid appetite, nnd I was in every way improved in health. I used Peruna for a month longer, and it wrought a wondrous change in my entire system. I consider it a most wonderful medicine.'' Nervous Dyspepsia. Mrs. J. C. Jamison, 01 Marchant St., Wateonvillc, Cal., writes: "I was troubled with cramps in the stomach for six years. I tried many kinds of medicine, also was treated by three doctors. They said that I had nervous dyspepsia. I was put on a liquid diut for three months. I im proved under the treatment, but as soon as I stopped taking the medicine, I got j bad again. I took tno medicine for two I yenrs, then T gnt sick n^.iin pnd gave up all hop?s of getting cured. "I saw a testimonial of a man whose oase was similar to mino being cured by Peruna, so I thought I would give it a trial. 1 procured a bottle at once and commenced taking it. I have taken nineteen bottles aud am entirely cured. Have gained in strength and flesh and feel like a different person. "I believe Peruna is all that is claimed for it." Catarrh of Head. Mrs. Joseph Yittur, 5709 Erie St., Austin Sta., Chicago, 111., writes: "Your medicine, Peruna, was of] I great benefit to me. I suffered with catarrh of the nose and head for many years. Three bottles of Peruna cured ! me, after I had considered it impoB- ) sible to ever be cured again. "I now always keep Peruna in the house, and recommend It to evory one suffering from catarrh. As soon as one of my children commence to '{ cough 1 give them Peruna, and their i cough is soon gone. "This medicine is surely a groat i boon to Buffering humanity." PE-RU-NA IS A HOUSEHOLD NECESSITY IM OVE Pe-ru-na the Family Doctor. , Mrs. M. E. Seymour, R. P. D. 2, Bow man, Ga., writes: 1 "I am ready to speak a few words in favor of Peruna and Manalin. I have tried them for nearly every ill of life for myself and family, and find them to be all the doctor claims them to be. Peru na cured me of internal trouble when my doctor could not. "My advice to all suffering women is, consult Dr. Hartman. "What he has dene for me he will do for you." , Pe-ru-na In Tablet Form. For two years Dr. Hartman and hi* assistants have incessantly labored to create Peruna in tablet form, and their strenuous labors have just been crowned with success.
