Fortunately, Ko, it is the season of grass bleaching B s: ;d hot sunshine. In addition to these Katural aids are here presented a numKr of wars for removing both stains Kd mildew by artificial means, suggested by a writer in the New York ■injes: J Mildew is easily taken out of white ■oods with chloride of lime, but it canKot be used on colored clothes. Put a ■nail amount of lime in cold water and Ktir until it is entirely dissolved, then ■train through cheesecloth and imKerse the mildewed article. Work up Knd down, and as soon as the spots have ■bleachtd cut rinse through three or ■our waters and dry. I Fruit stains of all kinds will come ■out of white goods if they are taken in and treated exactly right. Raspberry and strawberry stains will disappear if boiling hot soft water is poured over them. Oxalic acid will remove all other fruit stains, and a bottle should always bi- kept in the laundry. As it is very poisonous it should be plainly labeled and kept out of the way of children. Get the acid in crystallized form, put in a bottle and pour cold water over it. If part remains undissolved, add water as the solution is used. It is sure to remove fruit, leather or ink stains. Touch only the spots and rinse quickly and thoroughly when they disappear. For lace or muslin add a little salsoda or ammonia to the first rinsing water. Dilute the acid at first and make it stronger if necessary. Boiling hot soft water will remove tea, coffee or chocolate stains. If tea stains are of long standing, soak in glycerin and wash the latter out with cold water. Use diluted ammonia for orange and lemon stains. Mak- a thick paste of lemon or pieplant juice and salt and starch for red iron rust and expose to the sun. If one application is not effectual, try again. Oxalic acid is just as sure for black iron rust. Alcohol or molasses will take out grass stains. Cover wine stains with salt and lay in the sun. Nothing will remove blood stains

MANY THINK! "hen the Creator said to woman, ' In sorrow shalt thou bring forth children,” that a curse was pronounced against the human race, but the joy felt by every Mother when she first presses to her heart her babe, proves the contrary. Danger and suffering lurk in the pathway of the Expectant Mother, and should be avoided, that she may reach the hour when jhe hope of her heart is to be reallzed, in full vigor and strength.

better than cold soap suds, to which kerosene has been added. Kerosene will also remove tar or fresh paint. Machine oil or vaseline will come out easily when washed with soap and cold i water. When the color has been taken out of colored material with an acid, diluted ammonia will sometimes restore it. Chloroform is also an excellent restorative of color. Iced Chocolate. Put into a porcelain lined or granite 1 kettle 4 ounces of finely powdered unsweetened chocolate and 6 ounces of j granulated sugar. Add a quart of water, and when they are well mixed i place the kettle over a moderate fire and . allow the contents to boil until the | liquid is of the consistency of a thick I sirup Take it. from the fire and stir I the mixture frequently while it is cooling. When cold, flavor it with vanilla 1 extract and serve in tall tumblers part- ' ly filled with cracked ice, adding a couple of spoonfuls of whipped cream Ito each tumbler. This chocolate sirup can be kept in glass jars in a refrigeraI tor and will remain good for a long time.—Exchange. A Summer Dessert. Line a well buttered china mold or basin with strips of sponge or madeira cake cut to fit exactly, then fill it up with any kind of delicate stewed fruit, i Cover this with a round of the cake cut ' to fit the mold or basin, place a plate on it with a weight on it and stand it in a I cold place or on ice till next day, then serve with whipped cream. A plainer form of this is made by using bread crumbs instead of cake, when plums, apples and blackberries, or blackberries alone, can be used, and when finished serve with custard This last is capital and a favorite with the young folks. Steamed Berry Pudding. For the batter use 4 cups of flour, a ' cupful of milk, a cupful of sugar, 2 ' eggs, 2 tablespoonfuls of melted butter, 4 teaspoonfuls of baking powder, a teaspoonful of salt, and stir into this fruit I to taste. Pour into a buttered pan and steam 1 hours. For the sauce, a cupful of sugar, one-half cupful of butter and 2 tablespoonfuls of cornstarch wet with cold water. Add boiling water, place it over the fire till it boils and flavor to taste. Iced Soup. This is simply very good strong consomme or clear soup, which is stood on ice till ice cold, though not necessarily frozen, some finely shred parsley or any pretty garnish being added lightly as it is sent to table, small lumps of well washed ice being also placed in the tureen to keep it cool. Consomme must needs be strong, as the ice dissolving weakens it somewhat. Worth Knowing. Servers to cut glass salad bowls are of ivory handsomely mounted in silver. Feather dusters with silver handles afford additional illustration of combining beauty with utility. The plated silverware of reputable manufacturers is characterized not only by the excellence of its quality and finish, but also by its attractive designs. Pretty little holders for serving boiled eggs in the shell are made of silver and furnish a pleasing contrast to the china holders ordinarily used for the same purpose. Oval baskets of silver in openwork patterns, resting on four tiny feet, are desirable acquisitions in table silver. They come in several sizes, the largest being used for bread and the smallest for bonbons. —Jewelers’ Circular. Petookey and Mac.kluae Excursion.

”PEOPLE OF THE DAY. One ot the most prominent of the Klondike heroes is Clarence Berry, who brought out of the Yukon goldfields about .$135,000 worth of gold dust and nugg. ts and is part owner in five pay-. ing claims near Dawson City. Three years ago Barry was a poor farmer in Fresno, Cal. When he first heard of the •fwl / *•<» • CLARENCE BERRY. Yukon goldfields, he sold out and went to Alaska. He passed his first winter at Forty Mile camp, where he worked a claim that paid him but little. Then he returned to California and married Miss Ethel Bush. On March 15, 1896, ha and his bride started for the goldfields. They reached there after a hazardous trip of 30 days over the mountains and frozen wastes, and when the strike on the Klondike was made Berry was on hand to locate a rich claim. He is 30 years old now, and the prospects are that before he is five years older he will be a millionaire. Senator Hansbrough’s Bride. Miss Mary Berri Chapman, who is soon to become the bride of Senator Henry C. Hansbrough of North Dakota, is a young woman of 22 who is already distinguished in Washington society circles not only for her beauty, but for her talents. She has written a book of poems entitled “Lyrics of Love \ j! Wag®*', \ Vs v ■ MISS MARY BERRI CHAPMAN. and Nature" and not a little prose, one of her short fiction stories, “A Fashionable Hero," appearing in one of the leading magazines for August. Miss Chapman is also accomplished as a painter and as a musician. She lives with her widowed mother in Washington most of the time. Senator Hansbrough is a widower of 49 and met Miss Chapman less than three months ago. It was a case of love at first sight, and the announcement of the senator’s engagement followed soon after. Father of the Yukon. Jack McQuesten, known in Alaska as the Father of the Yukon, well deserves the title, for he has been in that frozen region for 26 years. He is not one of those who have come out with big piles of gold dust and nuggets. Neither is he among the unfortunates who got nothing at all, but in spite of his long experience in gold hunting Jack McQuesten was unfortunate in locating a claim in Klondike. When last heard from, Ecx'Kl -Jbw - </ '/ V JACK M’qrESTEN, FATHER OF THE YUKON, however, he had an interest in several claims which will probably net him a handsome fortune. McQuesten went to Alaska as an employee of the Hudson Bay company, but from trading went to prospecting. He has grub staked many a poor miner and is known all through the region for bis numerous acts of generosity. He is the founder of the Alaska Pioneers’ society, members of which must have lived for seven consiecutive years in the territory. Mourning Customs. A widow continues, no matter how deep her mourning may be, to wear her engagement and wedding rings. After six months the long crape veil is thrown back from the face. In this connection The Ladies’ Home Journal says: After six months the long crape veil is thrown back from the face. So called mourning hats are not good form for Widows. After the veil is laid aside a small, dull silk bonnet is worn, and after that all black, and then colors if wished. In extremely warm weather a widow may wear dresses of plain black dimity or lawn, with cuffs and collar of lheer white lawn.

Bottled Up! Whether in the form of pill powdei or liquid, the doctor’s prescription fol blood diseases is always the same—mercury or potash. These drugs bottle up the poison and dry it up in the system, but they also dry up the marrow in the bones at the same time. The suppleness and elasticity of the joints give way to a stiffness, the racking pains of rheumatism. The form gradually bends, the bones ache, while decrepitude and helplessness prematurely take possession of the body, and it is but a short step to a pair ol crutches. Then comes falling oi the hair and decay of the bones, —a condition truly horrible. a Contagious Blood Poison—the curse of mankind—is the most horrible of all diseases, and has always baffled the doctors. Their potas h and mercury bottle up the poison, but it always breaks forth again attacking some delicate organ, frequently the mouth and throat, filling them with eating sores. S.S.S., is the only known cure for this disease. It is guaranteed purely vegetable, and one thousand dollars reward is offered for proof to the contrary. It never fails to cure Contagious Blood Poison, Scrofula, Eczema, Rheumatism, Cancer, or any other disease of the blood. If you have a blood disease, take a remedy which will not injure you. Beware of mercury; don’t do violence to your system. Don’t get bottled up! Our books sent free to any address. Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ga. . ■_ -—AaA>

HOW TOJIND OUT. Fill a bottle or common glass with urine and let it stand twenty-four hours; a sediment or settling indicates an unhealthy condition of the kidneys. When urine stains linen it is evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in the back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order. WHAT TO DO. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy fulfils every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night to urinate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best.

It’s so strange that such simple things are overlooked by those who want chealth. Food makes health. It makes strength—and strength wards off sickness. The man who had never been sick was strong because he always digested his food, and you could become the same by helping your stomach to work as weil as his. Shaker Digestive Cordial will help your stomach and make you strong and healty by making the food you eat make you fat. Druggists sell it, Trial bottle 10 cents.
