Summer Curtains.
When it ir desirable to discard
heavy draperies and curtains during
the ^ warm weather there are fasci
nating things' to be found in por
tieres of linen cretonne, as well as
the same pretty goods by the yard.
Most of the portieres are in light
and cool looking shades, with an ap
plique border of flowered cretonne
and a narrow cotton fringe at the
edges. A border of pond”lilies on
dIo
portieres of cream colored cretonne
is particularly pretty

k Preparing Rhubarb.
! Rhubarb has a much nicer flavor
if cut up without peeling. When
making it into sauce, less sugar is
Required if it is not sweetened until
it has become cold. An egg greatly
improves the rhubarb pie, giving it
more body. 1
Cut up a few stalks of rhubarb
and. pour hot water over them, then
drain. This water sweetened makes
a very good substitute for lemon

./• Labels on Children.
In Japan special care is taken so
that the children of poor people
may not become lost on the streets.
There are no nurses to look after
them, and the mothers, in order to
have the little runaways returned
safely, hang labels around their
children’s necks. These labels bear
their names and addresses.

“One Minute Cough Cure beats
all other medicine I ever tried for
coughs, colds, croup and .throat
and lung troubles,” says D. Scott
Currin of Loganton, Pa. One
minute Cough Cure is the only ab
solutely safe cough remedy which
acts immediately. Mothers every
where testify t" the good it has
done their little ones. Croup is
so sudden in its attacks that the
doctor often arrives too late. It
yields at once to One Minute
Cough Cure. Pleasant to take.
Children like it. Sure cure for
grip, bronchitis, coughs. Holtz-

Across the road from the new
house was a triangular piece of
ground that had been nearly clear
ed of trees but there was a heavy
undergrowth. - The Scotch boy
called them “family trees.” There
were clumps of hazel bushes that
were loaded in the fall with nuts.
He did not like to hear that all
these were to be cleared off and
broken up. It was fun for a time
to dig around the bnshes and chop
them up and make bonfires of
them. After digging up the big
ones they were told that the big
plow would manage the rest. The
boys were curious to see.
Breaking in those days was
done, like threshing, by parties
who went around from farm to
farm. It took several yokes of
oxen, as the boys found when
they came. They brought eight
and the big plow on a stpneboat.
This plow was- immense. The
beam was as big as a log, the
mouldboard was four- feet long,
the share was two feet wide, anc.
sharp as a knife. The coulter was
long and sharp, there was a big
wheel under the beam and an im
mense clevis. The handles were
long and big. The two hands of
the boy could just reach around
them. When the teams were
hitched up there was a long chain
that went from the lead team to
the plow, beside short chains that
bitched each team to that long
chain. It took two men to drive
the teams and each had whips
with, long lashes. One man could
hold the plow except when they
came to a big grub, when another
man would hold the beam or help
on the handles. They tried to cut
the roots at angles. Sometimes
they would strike a big ope and
the plow would bound out, or get
fast, then they would have to dig
it out or chop it out. “Oh! If
it was all like this!” they said, as
they got into a piece of prairie at
the end of the field where there
wore no bushes. There the broad
two-foot furrow turned over on its
back, level and smooth was a
grand sight, not like the ragged
work in the field where the bushes
were. The fields should be ;all
grubbed up, was the general ver
dict.
In later days’ the Scotch boy
found that a narrower plow would
do better work. On prairie land
he found that they cut a shallow
furrow not over three inches deep,
not six inches as in his youug
days. This breaking plow was
more like the plow he remember
ed in Scotland. The big old plow
made him think of his heavy
tacked shoes that he wore in the
old country. His old grandfath
er said “that Yankee plo’ was
over ambitious.” This sort of
breaking left many bushes stand
ing that the boys had to grub up.
“We might just as well have done
it at first,” they said, and saved
expense, for they broke down sev
eral times and had to wait and
eat, and there was none too much
there for the hungry boys them
selves. The hazel brush were the
worst to clear out, for they grew
in masses that the plow got stuck
in.
The Scotch boy was surprised
to see that sod was just a mass of
roots. He was going to school to
nature. Dr. T. C. Duncan.

To have given up would have
meant death for Mrs. Loie Cragg,
of Dorchester; Mass. For years
she had endured untold misery
from a severe lung trouble and
obstinate cough. “Often,” she
writes, “'I could scarcely breathe
and sometimes could not speak.
All doctors and remedies failed
till I used Dr. King’s New Dis
covery for consumption and was
completely cured.” Sufferers
from Coughs, Colds, Throat and
Lung Trouble need this grand
remedy, for it never disappoints.

Characteristically American.
Chairman Hull of the House
Committee on Military Affairs is
telling a good joke on himself at
the time of his visit to the Phil
ippines, says the Washington cor
respondence of the "New York
World. There was. during the
Spanish regime, near Manila, a
bridge over which toll was col
lected. When the Americans in
vested the city the bridge was
made free, but later was again
made a toll bridge. It was large
ly used by the American soldiers,
who refused to pay any toll to the
native , bridge keepers. Mr. Hull
thought it was a free bridge and
started across, and the keeper de->
manded toll.
“I am an American citizen and
won’t pay any toll,” said Mr.
Hull.
“No, yon are not Americano,”
replied the keeper.
“But I am.”
“No, you are not Americano. I
know. If you were Americano you
would have told me, ‘Go to Hell
when I asked for toll.”
Mr. Hull paid the toll. Next
time he started over he remem
bered what the toll-keeper had
told him and promptly replied to
the demand for toll as did the
American soldiers. Bowing pro
foundly. the keeper made no fur
ther request and re-entered his
shack, allowing Mr. Hull to pass
over free of charge.
Corn Stip Remains King.
Last year was one of the great
est and most destructive drought
years over the entire corn belt
that this country has ever seen.
The damage tp the corn crop was
very severe and of wide extent,
and the high prices that have pre-
vailsd sinoe the crop was matured
is the result of the shortage, but
the final report of the Agricultu
ral Department shows that corn
still holds the proud title of king
of the cereal crpps, and refused to
yield that proud distinction at the
behest of the drought. Last year
was the banner wheat year in the
United States, all previous rec
ords having been broken by 1 a
yield of 750,000,000 bushels, and
yet in that short corn crop it ex
ceeded the wheat crop over two
bushels to one, and the oat crop
the same. The combiued bushels
of wheat, oats, rye and buchwheat
only equaled the corn crop. In
money value the corn crop was
worth twice the wheat crop, and
wheat, oats, barley, rye and buck
wheat. all fold, only amounted in
money value to $885,000,000, while
the corn crop alone was valued at
$921,000,000. Long live King
Corn, and may his shadow never
grow less.—St., Louis Farm Visit

A hearty appetite does not al
ways indicate a healthy condition.
It ,is not the quantity of food
which is eaten but the quantity
which is assimilated, which deter
mines the actual value 6f the food
consumed. If the stomach and
organs of digestion and nutrition
cannot convert the food into
nourishment, and into blood, then
the food is an' injury instead of a
benefit. For all disorders of the
stomach and its allied organs of
digestion and nutrition, there is a
certain remedy in Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery, It re
moves clogging obstructions. It
strengthens the stomach, nourish
es the nerves, enriches the blood
and builds up the body. It is
a flesh-forming, muscle-making
preparation, making firm flesh in
stead of flabby fat. “Golden Med
ical Discovery” contains 119 alco,-
hol, whisky or intoxicant of any
kind, and is equally free from
opium, cocaine and all narcotics.
The wandering life of circus
performers is well illustrated in
the case of a - quartet known, as
the “Four Francois,” now per
forming in London, three sisters
and their brother. Their father,
a circus clown., is a German; their
mother a noted equestrienne, is a
Hungarian, and the children were
born respectively in Sweden, Hol
land, Hungary and Germany.
