How to Fold a Shirt; Few things put a man in a temper more than a badly folded shirt, no matter how well it is laundered. There is a certain art in the method of “folding” that if carefully followed insures stiff cuffs and an unruffled front. Spread the shirt on a table or bed, fold over the two sides lengthways, so that they lie one over the other upon ihe bosom. Turn the sleeves back half way from the shoulders, doub¬ ling the sleeve lie gussets ill half and allow¬ ing them to straight down on the folded body. Theu take the whole and give it a cross fold upward, so that the lower part of the shirt which is turned over shall cover the upper part of the sleeves and bosom.— Yankee Blade.

This is the opinion of a man who keeps a drug store, sells all medicines, comes in direct contact with the “patients and their families, and knows better than anyone else how remedies sell, and what true merit they have. He hears of all the failures and successes, and can therefore judge: “I know of no medicine for Coughs, Sore Throat, or Hoarseness that had done such ef¬ fective work in my Coughs, family as Boschee’s Sore Throat, German Syrup. Last winter a lady called H oar se n ess, at my store, who was suffering from a very severe cold. She could hardly talk ; and I told her about German Syrup and that a few doses would give re¬ lief; but she had no confidence in patent medicines. I told her to take a bottle, and if the results were not satisfactory I would make no charge for it. A few days after she called and paid for it, saying that she would never be without it in future as a few doses had given her relief. ’ ’ ® THIS KING OF ALL COUGH CURES Vs ■ DOCTOR ACKERS ENGLISH SOLD IN ENGLAND for la. lHd„ and in AMERICA for 26 cents a bottle. t tastes c ECLIPSE COTTON PLANTE^ -sOa muiui, U This celebrated Planter, of which there are over 8,000 now in use, has been before the pub¬ lic for twelve years, and 1ms given entire sat¬ isfaction.

ANNIE GAOS. t FOB THE HOUSEWIFE. A SAFE WAT TO BATHE A DELICATE BABT Some one suggests that a very good way to give a bath to a delicate infant is to lay a small blanket in the bottom of the bath, and wrap it around the child before lifting him oat of the warm water. In this way he can feel no chill whatever from the outside air. The nurse should havo on a large tow¬ eling apron in which to wrap the baby, wet blanket and all. The head can then be dried and the upper extrem¬ ities, keeping him well wrapped up all the time. Pat on a warm skirt, slip off the wet apron and wrap the little one in a warm, big Turkish towel and dry and rub him thoroughly.—[Brook¬ lyn Citixen. FOOD DAINTIES FOB INVALIDS. Broiled bacon, dusted slightly with eayeune peper, will often tempt a tick person to eat, when nothing else will. The old prejudice against it is dying out, as physicians say that bacon, well cooked, is an easily digested form of fat. When buying canned tomatoes to make dishes for the sick, be sure and get the best. Most sick persona will relish tomatoes, especially when nicely served on toast Soups made with cream or milk are generally said to be best for invalids. Sometimes salt fish will be relished by an invalid, if very carefully prepared as follows: Pick a small piece of tho thickest part of salt fish into long flakes. If very salt soak a few minutes in cold water. Brown over hot coals. Spread with butter and serve hot. Smoked salmon or halibut may be prepared in the same manner. But, whatever you prepare for the sick room,be sure that the tray is covered with the whitest of napkins, and that the dishes are pretty and neatly arranged. Nothing, how¬ ever, is so consoling in a sick room as cleanliness. Have everything spotless, clean and neat.— [New York News. HOW TO BAKE MEAT. The most perfectly baked meats are cooked as follow*: Heat the baking pan on the top of the stove untij smoking hot; lay the roast on it and let the cut surface sear and slightly brown; turn, and sear and brown the other side also. Put in a hot oven and baste only with its own gravy. Salt toughens the meat and has a tendency to extract the juices, and should not be added until just before the meat is done. If the temperature of the oven is just right, whan the oven door is opened a gentle simmering and spat¬ tering will go on; if it is too hot the drippings will burn and the oven will be filled with smoke. An even, steady heat must be maintained to bake a piece of meat properly. The best ribs of beef are the third and fourth for a roast from seven to nine pound*, and the third, fourth and fifth for a larger roast. Never have the bone taken out and the meat rolled; the meat loses in sweetnes*. Let your butcher saw across the undei pnrt of the rib* in one or two places, so that after the meat has been scared on the cut aides it can stand in the pan, with the rim of fat upward. The searing process hardens the out¬ side and thus retains the juice*.— [American Agriculturist. BECIPES. Cream Pie.—Beat the white* of four eggs until they will romain cn an in¬ verted spoon, then add four table •poonful* of white sugar. Beat all together in a basin or di«b holding a quart; fill tho dish with cream, or very rich milk if you have no cream,, and flavor with lemon, vanilla, or any ex¬ tract you prefer to use. Bake with one crust. Black Pudding.r—Use for this one cupful of warm water, one cupful of molasses, one and a half cupfuls of stoned raisins, one teaspoonful of soda, two and one half cupful* of flour. Mix all the ingredient* to¬ gether and boil in a pudding-bag Add a little more flour if the pudding seems too thin as you put in the bag. Boil it three hours. Potato Soup.—-Peel three medium sized potatoes and boil them until they can be pressed through a colander, then stir in one cup of cream or rich milk and return to the water the pota¬ toes were boiled in. Beat an egg and itir it into a pint of flour; then sprinkle this into the boiling soup. Add butter, salt and pepper to taste and let the small egg dumplings boil about fifteen minutes, then serve very hot G* West.

Mr. Vanderbilt was worth $200,000,000; If this sum were in standard silver dol¬ lars it would present such features as this: Put lengthwise, dollar after dollar, it would stretch a distance of 4,673 miles, making a silver streak from New York across the ocean to Liverpool. Piled up, dollar on dollar, it would reach a height of 355 miles. Laid fiat on the ground, the dollars would cover a space of nearly sixty acres. The weight of this mass of silver would be 7160 tons. To transport it would require 858 cars, carrying twenty tons each (this is the and capacity of the strongest freight cars), one-half making a train just about two and miles long. In one dollar bills this $200,000,000 fortune would assume such shapes as this: The bills stretched lengthwise would extend 23,674 miles, or nearly the cir¬ cumference of the earth at the equator. Piled up one on another, close as leave* in a new book, they would reach a height of twielve miles. 746 8pread out on the ground they cover Central acres, Park, or nearly the whole surface of in New York City, includ¬ ing ponds and reservoirs.

Back of that, what is lacking is that clear honesty which is above the “average practice.” Pierce’s Dr. medicines are guaranteed to accomplish what they are intended to do, and their makers give the money back if the result isn’t ap¬ parent.
