Spring Cleaning

Is such a trial that men say "Let the house take care of itself." But the con scientious wife feels bound to risk health and strength in this annual struggle with dust and dirt. The consequence of her feverish anxiety over extra work is depletion of the blood, the source of all life and strength, manifested in that weak, tired, nervous condition too prevalent at this season and very dangerous if allowed to continue. What every man and woman needs in the spring is Hood's Sarsaparilla. It keeps the blood vital- j

Lake Zouay, in Abyssinia, and near the southern frontier of that country, had not been visited for three or four hundred years by the Abyssinian authorities, and the people who live on an island in the midst of the lake had remained without any communication with the exterior world. Emperor Menelik has recently paid a visit to that lake, whereas situated the Island of Debra-Sina, in the churches of which | most valuable Ethopian manuscripts | hail been hidden by Abyssinian mon- i archs at the time of the invasion of their country by the Egyptian anil Soudan Moslems. The island is held as sacred ground, and Menelik’s chaplain was the onlv man to proceed there on that occasion; he visited the churches, I looked at the ancient manuscripts, and brought some of them to the Emperor, who ordered them to be religiously returned to the chief of the island.

A benefit is always experienced from the first bottle, and a'perfect cure is warranted when the right quantity is taken. When the lungs are affected it causes shooting pains, like needles passing through them; the same with the Liver or Bow els. This is caused by the ducts being stopped, and always disappears in a week after taking it. Read the label. If the stomach is foul or bilious it will cause squeamish reelings at first.

That lets in the morning sun, than which nothing is more cheerful on a winter morning, and a southern exposure gets all the breeze going on a summer day.” Persons in building do not half consider such questions, which is inexcusable in these days of multiplied sources of information on the subject. The saying of former times that “a first house has to be planned to know how to build the second” ought not to be accepted. A SI,OOO house may have the comforts and conveniences of a $20,000 one. One of the former seen lately had the ideal dining-room facing east and south, and the small piazz on the east corner was, in winter, glass inclosed, and heated from the steam heat apparatus by sending a single coil of pipe around it. “Here we take sun baths on frosty mornings” explained the host. “With a rug and one or two easy-chairs and the inevitable growing plant, it is the roost cozy and comfortable lounging place.” Which may be a suggestion to others , with such a nook as yet not utilized. — Artists anil Exhibitions in France.

Still many aluminum boats are being constructed. lln 1885 aluminum was, worth S9O a | pound: now it can be purchased for about 75 cents a pound.

If a merchant advertises judiciously he increases his sales. An increase of sales generally results in an increase of profits, so why not let the advertis ng bills come o,t of the latter? If the profits find their way into the merchant's po ket before he pays the bill, it is literally- paid out of his pocket, but if the profits resulting from the advertisement are eq ivalent or in excess of the bill, the merchant is metaphorically nothing out of pocket.— Dry Goods Bulletin.

ONLY A TRICK OF THE TRADE. An Employment Ayrncyg Clever Scheme for Drumming l'p Trade. Like every other vocation of men and women, the employment agent possesses a device that is peculiar to his particular calling that is worthy of enrollment among the numeral -‘tricks of trade,” and, although it smacks of deceit, it no doubt serves its purpose well. The manner of operating is thus descrilied by the Rochester Herald: A woman of “good address” is engaged by the proprietor of the employment agency to answer advertisements for female help. Each morning when the day’s business is begun the proprietor closely scans the want columns of the papers, selecting therefrom such advertisements as he or she may be able to till from the list of girls on the application book. A list is made out and given to the before-mentioned woman of “good address,” who immediately starts out to “secure the situations.” Upon application to the lady of the house who has advertised for a “girl” this woman of good address tells the mistress that she has read the advertisement in the morning paper and would like to get the place. Then follows the usual catechism applicable to such cases, and the lady finds to her great delight that she has at last discovered just the girl for whom she has been looking, oh, so long. There isn’t anything she can’t do, and the lady has really racked her brain to think of things, too. She can make lovely bread, cook any dish imaginable, does not object to "helping out” on washday, has no “gentleman company,” does not want the parlor three nights a week and will not go home Sundays, and, above all, she has such “good address.” A bargain is struck on the spot; the new girl will come to-morrow and the wages are reasonable. The lady hurries down town and orders her advertisement out of the paper, turns away a dozen or more likely looking girls who apply for the place during the day, and finally at night she goes to bed and falls asleep without a care upon her mind, something she has not done since the last girl gave her “warning.” But, oh, what a difference in the morning! When 9 o’clock comes, instead of the lovely woman of “good address” who was hired the day before, the hour brings two, maybe three, very indifferent specimens of the genus hired girl, who exclaim in chorus that they “have come to get that job.” “Why, I don’t want any help," exclaims the lady of the house. “I’ve engaged a girl,” and she makes a motion to close the door in the face of the unwelcome callers. “Oh, yes; we know,” returns the chorus, “but Miss can't come. She's sick, and she told us to come and get the place because you wanted a girl. So we’ve come.” The “girls” are dismissed with but little ceremony; yet not until the lady has learned that they came from No. street, where an employment agency is known to be, and after comparing notes with a few friends who have had a similar experience the lady resolves to beware in future of the “woman of good address.” UNWISE POSTPONEMENT. Neglecting a Duty Which Ought to Be Done Now. On general principles there is no more foolish method of taking life easy than by deferring an obvious duty. Especially foolish is the person who postpones the work of cleansing his blood. There are many reasons why this work should be done in the spring. This is the cleansing season, and the blood needs cleansing before all things else. That tired feeling is due to a vitiated condition of the vital fluid. The pimples and other eruptions which appear are Indications that the blood has become loaded with impurities which should be expelled at once. In no other way can health be maintained. Now there is but one true blood purifier prominently in the public eye to-day, and that is Hood’s Sarsaparilla. By taking a few bottles of this great blood cleansing medicine : the bodily health can be built up so that when the warm weather comes j the system will be able to resist the ! debiliating effects of the heated season. Those who start with good health in the spring, given them by a thorough cleansing of the blood by Hood's Sarsaparilla, will be likely to pass through the summer without serious ! illness, and when the autumn comes they will find that they are supplied with strength which they had never known at that season before. The work of cleansing the blood In the spring is one of the most liuportaut duties of the season, because pure blood means good health, and good health is essential both to happiness and to the highest usefulness in the world.

Threatened With Extinction. Unless strict measures are taken in the immediate future the native fauna of Victoria, Australia, will soon become extinct. The reiterated complaint to the Customs Department is that of “wanton destruction.” Such unique specimens as the platypus and the lyre bird are already very rare, and, if the present state of things continues. their total disappearance will be a matter of but a few years. The police have frequently reported the fact of lyre birds having been shot in the ranges, and also the sale of the tails, but, through inability to prove the actual killing of the birds, they have not succeeded in having the offenders punished. The Royal Acclimatization Society has now addressed the Minister of Trade and Customs on the subject, and points out that in one shop alone in Melbourne twenty lyre birds’ tails have have been displayed for sale at one time, and that as the hens lay as a rule only one egg each in the season, the present rate of destruction must soon extinguish the species. It is further mentioned that the bird has an inveterate enemy in the fox, and, that sixteen tails were recently found near a fox’s lair in the ranges. Protection should certainly be afforded to the lyre bird and the platypus, and even the kangaroo, unless he also to become extinct.—Melbourne Argus. Celery Salad.

Put in a cool place and serve with a boiled dressing made as follows: One tables; oonful of salt, one tablespoonful of sugar, two tablespoonfuls salad oil, two tablespoonfuls mustard, three eggs, one cup milk,one cup of vinegar. Mix the salt, sugar, and mustard together. Add to them the eggs well beaten, then the vinegar and. alter stirring well, the milk; cook in a double boiler for twenty minutes or thick as boiled custard. This dressing, if bottled, will keen for a week or more in a cold p.ace, and will many times take the place of the expensive and tedious mayonnaise. Deafness Cannot lie Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion ot the ear. There Is only one way to cure deafness, and that Is bv constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining 'of the Eustachian Tube When this tube Is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing. and when it Is entirely closed. Deafness Is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to Its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which Is nothing but an Inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
