Oid Age
IS MADE
Vigorous
BY THE USE OF
Dr. PIERCE'S I
GOLDEN
MEDICAL
DISCOVERY.
"I suffered for six years with con-
stipation and indigestion, during
which time I employed several phy-
sicians, but they could not reach my
case," writes Mr. G. Popplewell, of
Eureka Springs, Carroll Co., Ark. "I
felt that there was no help for me,
could not retain food on my stomach ;
had vertigo and would fall helpless to
the floor. Two years ago I com-
menced taking Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery and little ' Pellets,'
and improved from the start. After
taking twelve bottles of the 'Discov-
ery ' I was able to do light work, and
have been improving ever since. I
am now in good health for one of my
age—60 years. I owe it all to Doctor
Pierce's medicines."
E. G. Masters, the evangelist preach-
er, desires to express his thanks and
hearty appreciation of the assistance
and co-operation afforded by the citi-
zens of the town in connection with the
free Christmas dinners served at the
Gospel Tent under his supervision.
Over 150 persons were served t<> a free
dinner and many destitute families
were supplied with provisions and
clothing.

HOURGLASSES.
They Hair *'nt <Sone Out of Style ly
u Ltinii Mutt.
"Most people thiuk that hourglasses
went out of style years ago," said ti
clerk Id a Tweuty-third street store,
"along with perukes and knee breeches,
but as u matter of fact we have more
calls for them today than we have had
at auy time within the last ten years.
That this renewed popularity of the
hourglass augurs its universal accept
ance us a timepiece by the coming gen-
eration I am not prepared to say, but
if such a renaissance were to become
assured it would be no more surpris
ing thau Rome of the other recent fads j
based on a revival of lost customs.
Anyway a brief study of the hourglass
will do nobody harm. There are thou |
sands iu this generation who have not i
the slightest idea what an hourglass j
looks like, and it won't hurt them to
broaden their education a little aloug I
certain lines.
"Of the hourglasses sold at present j
the three miuute glass is iu the lead.
This glass is used almost exclusively to j
measure time iu boiling eggs, and Its
usefulness naturally places its sales a I
little Iu advance of the more senti I
mental varieties. Next come the five. I
ten and fifteen miuute and full hour 1
glasses, which are bought chiefly by j
musicians for piano practice and by |
lodges and secret societies.
"The sand used in an hourglass is the
very finest that the world affords. The
western coast of Italy furnishes most
of it. as it has done for ages past. The
cost of, hourglasses is regulated by the
ornamentation of the frames. A glass
set in a plain rosewood case can be
bought for $1, while a mahogany frame
comes to $1.50 or $2. Of course, the
price can be brought up still higher by
fancy carving and decoration. Swell
lodges sometimes go to this extra ex-
pense, but most people are satisfied
with the cheaper grades."—New York

CONCERNING FISH.
I , .IIUI
■•w <0 AtoH Error In Srlrctloa
Preparation.
In view of the popular belief in the
danger to be feared from eatiug poltion-
ous fish or from ptomaines contained
in fish, the conclusions arrived at by
food specialists under the United
States department of agriculture be-
come of interest. While there are sev-
eral species of tisli which are actually
poisonous, declare the experts, such
fish are mostly confined to tropical
waters and are seldom found in the
United States. Fish may contain par-
asites, some of which are injurious to
man. These are, however, destroyed
by the thorough cooking to which tisli
is usually subjected. The formation of
ptomaines unite generally accompanies
putrefaction, and therefore great care
should be taken to eat fish only when it
is in perfectly good condition. Fish
which has been frozen and after thaw-
ing kept for a time before it is cooked
is especially likely to contain injurious
ptomaines. Canned fish should never
be allowed to remain long In the can
after opening, but should be used at
once, on account of the possibility of
danger from the combined action of
the can contents and oxygen of the air
upon the lead of the solder or the can
itself.
Most physiologists regard fish as a
particularly desirable food for persons
of sedentary habits, as it usually con-
tains less fat than is found In meat.
In digestibility it ranks with lamb.
The leaner fish, such as cod, haddock,
perch, pike, bluefisli, etc., are more
readily digested than the fatter kinds,
such as trout, salmon, shad and mack-
erel.

THE POULTRY YARD
Gravel or coarse saud is as much
needed as ordinary food.
All chickens want for health, growth
and good conditions is plain, nutritious
food.
Even when the fowls have an unlim-
ited range it is a good plan to feed
them every evening.
One of the first things to learn about
poultry is that they must be kept clean
and free from vermin.
Feafowls ate handsome and subsist
with the least care of any kind of
fowls. They are prolific layers and a
good protection against hawks.
Raw bone contains every part of an
egg—white, yolk and shell. Therefore
it should be kept constantly before lay-
ing hens in the granulated form.
One of the best ways of removing lice
from fowls is to make them do it them-
selves by having a lot of dry earth
where they can dust themselves when-
ever tbey feel like it.
The comb is always an index to the
condition of the bird. When the comh
Is white or very pale or very black,
something is wrong. A healthy fowl
shows a bright scarlet color in the
comb.
Ilow to Make (imp* Jtiice.
To prepare grape juice heat ripe
grapes over a slow fire until the juice
flows readily. Just before they reach
the boiling point remove them from the
fire and crush, squeeze and strain them.
Add to the juice one pound of sugar
for every quart. Return the mixture
to the stove and bring gently to a boil.

Ilovf to Fry Onion*.
Fried onions ns a garnish to beef-
steak are, if liked at all, a favorito
dish. At most tables the onions are
served a greasy, blackened mass, often
half raw, altogether unpleaslng to
view and by no means digestible. This
is because most cooks cook onions in
a pan with a little butter, a method
that cannot by any skill produce a
satisfactory result. Try the next time
another way. Slice the onions and
soak the slices in milk for at least ten
minutes. Then dip them in flour and
immerse in boiling fat for six or seven
minutes. Have the fat heated to tlie
point that a bit of bread thrown in will
brown instantly. The slices will not
remain intact, but will cook through
and will not turn black. Remove
with a skimmer and drain on bro\vn
paper, placing around the steak.

How to Remove IJmulrnfT.
A shampoo that is recommended for
dandruff is made by mixing together
the yolk of one egg, a pint of hot rain-
water and .111 ounce of spirit of rose-
mary. The mixture should be thor-
oughly beaten up and used warm, be-
ing well rubbed into the skin of the
head. Afterward rinse the head thor-
oughly iu several waters.
How to Make Apple PimMIiik.
A delicious apple pudding that Is
timely now, with the-harvest of this
fruit at hand, is also a simple one.
Stew apples that have been pared,
cored and quartered gently until they
will pulp; beat and add to every pint
of pulp a half cupful, of sugar, a quar
tcr cupful of butter, a half cupful of
breadcrumbs and three eggs well
beaten separately. Bake half an hour.
Serve with cream, though the pudding
is good by itself with a little powdered
sugar sifted over tlie top. A pint of
the apple pulp is the foundation of a
pudding for four persons.
FEASTED ON SPARROWS.
A Diet Tlmt Did Not Aitree With the
Crane.
"Some time ago I had occasion to ob-
serve an interesting change in the hah
its and temperament of a crane which
had been picked up in the swamps of
Arkansas," said a gentleman from one
of the towns 011 the Mississippi river,
"and the change was startling too. The
crane was placed In a small park which
was literally filled with English spar
rows. These pests did not like the vis-
itor from the lowlands, and they made
daily assaults on the poor bird. The
crane was a pretty fowl, long, slender,
pure white and with the stately stride
of a tragedian. The sparrows would sys
tematically swoop down on the crane
In droves, and the attacks were fierce
and vicious.
The crane stood the assaults with In
difference for awhile, hut finally the
fowl from the swamps figured out a
method of retaliation, and It was effec-
tual. In some way the crane learned
that sparrow was a pretty sweet mor
sel. From the time she learned It she
feasted on sparrows. She would slip
up cautiously 011 these pesky twltterers
and throw her yellow beak out. like a
gig. She never missed the mark. She
always landed a sparrow, and a singu
lar part of the thing is that she would
swallow them whole, feathers and all
But the crane would always dampen
the hird by dipping it in one of the wa
tcr basins of the park.
"The diet evidently did not agree
with the crane, arid she became a trifle
droopy and showed signs of Indisposi
tion. She finally died, and the keeper
of the park believes that the crane's
death was caused by a severe case of
indigestion brought on by eating spar
rows."—New Orleans Times-Democrat.
How to Make I.emon Sauce For Flah.
Fut half a cupful of butter in a lined
saucepan, add the juice of a large lem-
on and a little salt and pepper; stand
tlio saucepan over boiling water and
heat until thick and hot; then mix in
carefully the beaten yolks of two eggs
and add a little minced parsley and
serve at once.
How to Select Olive*.
In buying olives housekeepers will do
well to look with suspicion on any that
are obviously too cheap. Often these
are not only wholly lacking in flavor,
but are positively Injurious. They
should not be too dark In color and
should firmly resist the teeth when
bitten Into. The stone should be slight-
ly pink, and above all there should
come from a good olive an indescrib-
able but quickly recognized fresh ap-
petizing smell that is a large part of
its agreeable quality.

Some time ago there was a ship-
wreck at St Margaret's hay, England,
and the life line brought sailor after
sailor to shore amid the cheers of the
rescuers. At last only the captain re-
mained on board. The line was ready,
the signal was given, but the answer-
ing Jerk did not come. Again and
again for a quarter of an hour the
question passed along the rope without
reply. At last, when hope was nearly
dead, the signal came, and the captain
was hauled dripping ashore. lie pick-
ed himself up, drew a small, wet, quiv-
ering dog from his breast pocket and
Bet It tenderly down. Then he looked
round and said in simple apology, "1
couldn't find the little brute any-
where!"
I'nmon Brownlow,
Parson Brownlow, the famous
preacher, editor and patriot. Is describ-
ed by Dr. William E. Barton, author
of "A Hero In Homespun," as the very
Incarnation of east Tennessee's rude-
ness, strength and exalted love of coun-
try and of right. "Ef hit warn't that
he's a preacher," says one of the char-
acters, "you wouldn't know sometimes
w'ether he's a-prayln or a-quotin Scrlp-
ter chapter an varse or jus' plain ev-
eryday sorter cussin." Brownlow
wrote to Secretary Benjamin at Rich-
mond: "Just give me my passports and
I will do for your Confederacy more
than the devil has ever done. I will
quit the country."

Ann? From Home.
It Is becoming the fashion for a wo-
man to seek a maternity hospital that
her children may be born amid conven-
iences larking at home. The children
are sent away from homo to school.
Tin v are married away from home, and
members of the family a're taken to
liosp.nils for their final illness and bur-
ied from an undertaker's parlor. It is
liecouiinir n fashion to take everything
from home except the family rows.
They are still sacred to tlio family
hearth.—Atchison Globe.

One summer evening in the crowded
theater an impatient house demanded
the drawing of the curtain preliminary
to the first act. When at last it was
upraised, II l'assatore and his armed
bund occupied the stage, with muskets
aimed at the affrighted audience. The
chief stated that he should levy a tax
per head, which he then and there col-
lected. The gang made off with their
booty unmolested. — I-ady Presturch'a

Gold.
The specific gravity of gold Is 10.r>0—•
that is. it weighs nineteen and a half
times ns much as its own bulk of wa-
ter. The ductility and malleability of
this metal arc equaled by no other. By
ductility is meant the property of al-
lowing itself to be drawn out Into a
wire and by malleability Its property
of flattening without splitting under
the hammer.
Make Some One Happy.
Charles Kin-shy thus counseled a
friend: "Make it a rule and pray to
God to help you to l.eep it never, if pos-
sible, to lie down at night without be-
ing able to s;iy. 'I have mode one hu-
man being at least a little wiser, a lit-
tle happier or a little better this day.'
You will find it easier than you think
and pleasanter."

The Sponge.
The sponge reproduces its kind main-
ly by eggs. In each animal arc con-
tained both the male and the female
elements, and it throws out the ova to
be hatched in the water. At first th*
young are free swimming, and after-
ward they attach themselves to con-
venient spots and grow.
