COUNTRY HOME FURNISHING Summer Color Combinations and Proper Floor Coverings to Give Cool and Clean Appearance. Plans for going to the country tc live are each year gaining in im portance, and early in ea£h year dis cussions as to where the house is to be. and how it is to be furnished, are more animated and vital. Some suggestions as to the color and scheme to be carried out with good effect are always timely. For fnsatnce, if the house isc to be a win ter and summer home, the following Ideas for furnishing are excellent: The hall should be hung with a green and white trellis paper, and moss-green filling or velvet pile carpet should be laid over the matting. The drawing room walls (distempered white) can be divided into panels by a lovely rose border, with the carpet or filling used on the floor; the curtains of white al paca. with inner ones of clear mus lin. should be held back with rose ailk bows—smart, upstanding bows. Chairs and soft should have looses covers of chintz—clusters of crimson and pink roses tied with blue ribbon on a white ground—and the cushions covered ,4’ith plain silk, some rose pink. part green and others with mus lin covers. The dining room should be even sim pler in effect. Everything should be white and green. White walls, paneled out with green paper moldings, white curtain? tied back with green silk, moss-green filling, if any carpet is used and < hair covers of white and green chintz. Pale blue, pink and greeu ribbon borders should outline the various white-walled bedrooms, and spotted muslin curtains and bedspread should hi each case have ribbons to match, slipped through their wide hems. If possible the Aik fs shottld be bare and polished, and covered with denim rugs, as they are clean and stteet and easily washed, while all the verandas, and in fact in every available corner of the house, there should be plenty of lounging chairs with book pockets.— American Queen. CLEANLINESS ESSENTIAL The Quick Cold Daily Bath with a Hot Tubbing Twice a Week Should Keep One Brisk and Vigorous. The thing to wish for is health. With that os your armor and your lance you can make the boogies of life skip in high order. Firm muscles, a healthy, glowing skin, eyes bright with energy and ambition—these make the foun dation of the woman beautiful. Care ful, sensible, becoming gowning plays a big part, so does the manner of hair dressing and the thousand and one de tails of grooming, but health is the first requisite and by far the most nec essary one. Scrupulous cleanliness is as essen tial to health as it is to one’s good looks. The body is constantly under going a system of decay and renewal. The skin flakes off in tiny particles, and bathing assists this process. More than this, bathing and vigorous rubbing of the body is a sort of exer cise that is decidedly beneficial. The euseles are enlivened, the blood and Ae flesh glows and tingles, the result being a clearer mind and refreshed pody. Some women say that they have not Ibe vitality to withstand a daily bath. That is usually the case when the bath is considered a bother and too much strength is expended in the scrubbing end the rubbing. The most beneficial bath is the quick one that is over within three minutes. Such a bath is a tonic. It is not necessary to get into ’.he tub. Merely go over the body, speedily, bathing away the dust and secretions of the skin, rinsing quickly and rubbing briskly until ‘.he skin fairly tingles. A hot bath is necessary not oftener than twice a week. If one is nerve tired, a hot bath just before going to bed will act as a soothing, restful comforter.—Chicago Record Herald. Umbrella Plant. Cyperus, or "umbrella plant." may be easily grown from cuttings. When the cuttings attain proper size, the pota should be set in a jardiniere containing •water, or be plunged in water aome way. It is a semi-aquatic plant, and cannot have too much water. The lack of it ia shown by the tips of the leaves turning brown. There are two varieties of this plant, a dwarf kind, growing about II inches high, and a tall one, which at tains a height of three or four feet. AH weak, discolored and spindling stalks should be cut out, as they injur# the looks of the plant. The flower stalk should be cut out. as the plant sinks into g green-and-yellow melancholy aft:r seeding. Bedroom Fragrance, pots of mint, spearmint or pepper mint have a hygienic value in a roots. They not only give off a wholesome md delightful fragrance, but produce Dzone, and therefore a sense of fresh ness. Pennyroyal has also the same perfume and ozone-giving power. Dried mint and pennyroyal are excel lent fillings for small cushion*.—-La dies’ World. NAUTICAL KNOWLEDGE. The Acquisition of V7h!cli Would Assuredly Fit One for an. Exciting Cruise. Having been sailing one afternoon with a friend, you notice how simple it is to manage a boat; so you buy one—whether it is a center-board or a tin-keel boat you don't know, and it doesn't make any dif ference so long as you like the color, Bays the Chicago Daily*News. Ask hall a dozen friends to act as crew. Great care should be exercised in choosing only men who know nothing about sail ing, otherwise they might make sugges tions as to the management of the boat. Far better ia it for you to train the men after your own ideas of sailing—-and you stand a much better chance of getting a picture of yourself and your boat into the papers. After sailing around the harbor a few times without damaging any of the other boats, you will be in a position to invite your girl friends to go sailing. If experi enced yachtsmen tell you that your boat will with safety carry ten, invite toventy friends. If you bring them all back you will establish a precedent. Ne\’er postpone a sailing party because of an approaching storm. This tvould look coAvnrdly, and by all means establish a reputation for daring even if you have to risk the lives of all your friends. Always carry full canvas—before a squall and during it. Once outside the harbor tie your main sheet dotvn—in hard knots if possible. This will make the trip more exciting. By carefully following the above rules you Avill give the newspaper reporters a chance to write columns on “Yachting as the Most Dangerous of Sports’’ and will also help the life-saving crew to earn tneir salaries. ___ Novelty in Loans. An English debtor, on being sued, ad mitted that he had borrowed the money, but said that the plaintiff knew at the time it was a “Kathleen Mavourneen loan.” “A Kathleen Mavourneen loan?” ques tioned the court, with a puzzled look. “That’s it, your lordship—one of the ‘it may be for years, and it may be forever' sort.” Might Have Settled It.

W, Moore of this place stands as a living proof of the fact that Bright’s Disease, even in the last stages, may be perfectly and permanently cured by Dodd’s Kid ney Pills. Mr. Moore says: “In 1898. three rep utable physicians after a careful examina tion told me that I would die with Bright’s Disease inside of a year. My feet and ankles and legs were badly swol len; I could hardly stand on mv feet and had given up fib hopes of getting cured, when a trav^b'r.R salesman told me that he himself had been cured of Bright’s Disease two years before. “He said he had taken to his bed and expected to die with it, but that he had been cured by a remedy called Dodd’s Kidney Pills. “I commenced taking them at once and I am thankful to say that they saved my life. After a short treatment I was com pletely restored to good health and I am now as sound as a dollar.” His Share.

It is especially so in the treatment of infants and children, speedily soothing and healing the most distressing cases.

The Maintenance of Way forces of the Erie are now engaged ip laying 350 miles of 90-pound steel rails on the main track. A larger mileage haa never been kid m any cae year before. The Erie has al ways been noted for its good track, and the management tmds that it is necessary to use a heavier rail on account of the weight of the several hundred new engines that have been purchased in the last two years. Much of the rail being removed has only been in track four or bve ygars and will be used on branch lines.

"Say, father, what la a ‘nobody?* ** “A noboily, my son, is a prominent woman's husband." “Say, pa," queried little Johnny Bumpernickle, "what’s a peace con gress?” “It’3 a lot of men who make war against war," answered the old gentleman. “Money makes the mare go," said the old-fashioned man. "Net if it's | my husband’s money that has been bet on her,” answered young Mrs. Torkins, positively. , "They seem to be very proud of their family tree,” "Yes, but the only trouble with it is that it grew from a small soap manufacturing plant back in the early 30’s." “Don’t be frightened, dear. So long as you hear the thunder you may know you are safe from the lfghtning.” “But that's no comfort, i If the lightning strikes me I won’t i hear the thunder!” — ! “I just peeped into the parlor as I passed,” said Mr. Phamley, “and I ; saw quite a freak of nature.” "Why, 1 Bertha is in there with her young man.” “Yes, I saw two heads on one pair of shoulders.” ‘I think,” said the patron of the cheap restaurant, “I’ll take a shirred ‘ egg.” “Aw, g’on!” cried the new wait | ress. “Quit kiddin’ me.” “What?" "Aw, you can't fool me. I used to ! he a seamstress, and I guess I know i it ain't possible to make gathers or tucks in an egg.” SAPIENT SAYINGS. A woman’s “No!” is often contra dicted by her eye. Keep out of the frying pan, and you won't get into the fire. The really self-made man never boasts of his architecture. Envy is a disease from which those who do their best are immune. It is better to make haste in begin ning than to make haste to finish up. A man can fly off the handle without the aid of a flying machine, but he lights hard. A successful man roots while his less prosperous brother stands around and squeals. Some men and women appear vain be | cause of oversensitiveness. They lack self-appreciation, so seek the apprecia tion of others as a bolster to their self respect. * Timors Conquered Without Operations Unqualified Success of Lydia IL.
