SHE WAS ALL PREPARED.
So That When Hobson Sneezed His
Good Wife Was Bight There
with the Remedy.
Mr. Hobson sneezed and Mrs. Hobson
remarked that he must have caught
cold. Mr. Hobson is one of those men
who hate to have a fuss made over them.
He has been trying to impress that fact
on his wife’s mind for 20 years, relates
the Chicago Daily News.
"What makes you think I’ve taken
cold?" he demanded, irritably.
“You sneezed,” replied Mrs. Hob
son.
“That doesn’t signify—” He paused.
“But it does ‘signify.’ It is one of the
first signs of a cold. You went out with
the ashes this morning without a thing
round your neck.”
“I always do.”
“And now you’ve caught cold.”
Mr. Hobson returned to the reading of
his newspaper without replying. In a
few moments Mrs. Hobson said:
“Henry.”
“Well?”
“You’ve got to do something for that
cold.”
“Can’t I sneeze without being accused
of a cold? Is there any law against
sneezing, or do I have to get a permit
from the health department?”
“I don’t see anything foolish in taking
a cold in time," Mr3. Hobson said, calm
ly. “If you would let me put your feet
in hot water and mustard, and get you to
bed—’”
Mr. Hobson resumed his paper, and as
he did so he felt an annoying tickling in
his nose. He struggled heroically for
nearly half a minute. Then he sneezed
again.
“There-” said Mrs. Hobson, in melan
choly triumph. “You’ve sneezed again!"
“I’ve sneezed twice, and I'm not
ashamed of It," Hobson replied, coldly.
“If I feel like it, I’m going to sneeze
again. I’m—"
Three successive and violent sternu
tatlnne tnfarrnntorl him
“Now will you let me heat that water,
Henry?” *
“No, thank you.”
“Will you take some quinine, then?”
“No.”
Mrs. Hobson sighed.
"Sneezes,” Mr. Hobson explained,
are convulsions caused by an irritation
of a sensitive membrane. The irritation
may be caused by the introduction of any
small particle of foreign matter, such as
a grain of dust Snuff has been known
to produce a sneeze; so has pepper. You
can get up a fairly good Imitation by
tickling the nostrils with a straw. It ia
not as you imagine, an infallible indt*
cation of a cold.”
"I suppose,” said Mra Hobson, reflect
ively, “that you would object to an onion
poultice, too?”
Hobson rose from his chair and started
for the door. With hia hand on the
knob he paused to say, with dignity:
fTm going up to my room now. I’ve got
come work to do, so I guess I had better
be alone for the rest of the evening.”
Hobson sneezed twice on the way up
stairs. Then the door of his den closed
explosively. Fifteen minutes later the
door opened and Hobson’s voice called
down the stairs: “Maria!”
“What Is It. dear?”
“Say, If you think I really ought to
take a hot foot bath I suppose it won’t
do any particular harm, whether I’ve
■got a cold or not. Would It be troubling
you too much to heat the water?”
Mrs. Hobson’s voice replied cheer
fully:
“It’s all ready now, dear. I’ve heated
It and got some blankets nice and hot.
When you’re ready I’ll bring them up."
A WORD WITH THE GIRLS.
Learn to So the Little Things That
Give Enjoyment to Yourself
and Others.
It is the girl who docs things In this
world who is attractive, both to men
and to her own sex, which last counu
a little, too, in thq,long run. You may
not be able to do great things, to paint
great pictures or to sing in grand
opera, but you can learn to make
bright little things for yourself and
f An /i c n n rl thn 1 i rrV» I
1 “catchy” airs of the day so that your
friends will enjoy them, and if you
can’t do anything else cultivate the
art of talking brightly and of being
sympathetic, says Good Housekeep
ing.
Every girl can do one thing well il
she will only take the trouble to find
out what that thing is. The difficulty
is that she often looks in the opposite
direction; she wants to do something
great and showy or nothing at all. Bui
there are other talents within reach if
she will only look, and these talents
may be such a comfort to her in her
dark hours that they will make life
better and happier both for herself and
those about her.
How the world likes a cheerful
plucky girl who makes a brave fight
and hides her skeleton in a closet in
stead of folding her hands and whin
ing because things don’t come her way
—the girl who puts her own griefs
as much as possible aside and whe
takes a wholesome interest in life—is
tha one who wins out every time.
Patties a la Uazann.
Give six turns to half a pound of puff
paste, roll out to the thickness of a
penny-piece; stamp out two dozen tops
with a plain circular cutter, about one
inch and a half in diameter; gather up
the trimmings, knead together, roll out
and stamp two dozen more; place on a
baking-sheet, about an inch and a half
apart, and wet them with a soft brush;
garnish the center of each with a little
force meat of any kind, place the tops on
them and use the upper part of a smaller
cutter to press them down, so as to
fasten the two parts together; they must
then be egged over auid baked in a rather
brisk oven; when done, dish up on •
napkin and serve.—Boston Budget
FO." KEEJI-EWORKERS.
Pretty Bits of Household Finely Up
on Which to Employ Their
Spare Time.
A fad of the moment is to have laced
or embroideerd cuff and stock pieces
edged entirely aiound with ruching.
The cuff pieces are simply basted over
the wristbands. When the ruching is
soiled a new ruche may be put on and so
the handsome or delicate lace is saved
much washing.
One of the emhroidery designs in field
flowers which is attractive is a daisy
pattern upon a table ctnter piece. Large
centers with a white couched edge and
the pattern stamped inside this cost
$1.50. The edges should be finished will
a broad band of lace. The design is
worked in white and green.
A prime factor in a cozy corner is a
cushion of green burlap embroidered
with red raffla. The design is of clus
ters of cherries. The realism of this
pillow is further carried out by having
the corners finished with large bunches
of natural-looking velvet cherries on a
green wire stem.
The prettiest of the new summer
cushion covers are in sheer muslin or
lawn, with embroidered monogram or
Marie Antoinette festooned borders, or
j Napoleonic wreaths of tiny flowers ail
! done in exquisite stitches in white, and
brought into relief by being placed over
a cushion covered in rose, blue, yellow
or mignonette green.
Bedroom slippers of the hand cro
cheted order echo the universal vogue
of the polka dot. The smartest of these
are now made to come very high on the
ankle and turn over, forming a sort of
cuff. Larke white polka dots occur on
a background of pink or lavender, ora
white surface is treated with large dots
in pink or blue.
A pretty pincushion that a girl can
make for herself, or for a gift, is a cir
cular affair of violet colored silk or
satin, heavily sacheted with orris pow
der. Around this are sewed millinery
violets, arranged in such a way that the
cushion is almost hidden away in the
blossoms. The stems are tied as if in a
bouquet at the back.

THE OLD-FASHIONED BATH.
| An Invigorating Indulgence Esp*.
dally Beneficial to Persons
Who Are Ailing.
An 1830 bath is the very latest!
ching. It is a bath made of sweet I
scented water in which there is enough
acid to be invigorating. It is a bath
of a previous generation and it is ope
which every athlete of the presept day
should try, says the Brooklyn Eagle.
To make an 1830 bath take a tub of
hot water and pour into it a quart of
bath vinegar if one can afford it. II
one cannot indulge in this extrava
gance, then take a pint. If this is too
much at least pour in a few table
spoonfuls.
A bath in bath vinegar is good for
the muscles. It drives away rheuma
tism, it cures neuralgia, it is Just the
thing for a stiff neck, and it takes th«
ache out of tired bone3.
A rose geranium bath is recom
mended to those who have neuralgia
and sharp aches and pains. There is
: something very soothing about the
odor of rose geranium. It lulls the
| senses as not even violets can do.
The aromatic bath, partly ammonia,
| is liked by those who feel faint and ia
the bath of baths for the woman with
| a weak heart. Let the woman whose
; heart does not beat well practice walk
l ing. Let her take the walking exer
! cises vigorously. Then let her take
a bath in aromatic vinegar and let her
finally steep her nose in a bottle of tne
vinegar, and while she is dressing let
i a saucer of it stand in the room. This!
is the best way to get the full scent,
j of the vinegar and the best results,
i from it.
Camphorated baths are much toe
^jncuui iui cbiij Liar; oiv/iv. a nq
person who has sprains or bruises can
; take a mild camphorated bath, but it
; Is not a pleasant bath nor one which
! can be recommended for daily use.'
I Taken all in all there is nothing quite
as pleasant as the rose geranium bath
nor one that is cheaper. A great bot
tle, half a gallon, of the scent can be i
made for a dollar and this will last
a long time.
Curry of Vegetable.
Use one large onion, a sour apple, a
i pint each of carrot, turnip and celery
| cubes, a heaping teaspoon curry pow-:
der, one pint stock or milk, two table- j
I spoons flour, two level teaspoons salt,!
one-half teaspoon pepper, generoui
< tablespoon of butter; mince the onion,
pare the apple and cut In thin slices; put
butter on the stove In stewpan and a*
i soon as melted add onion and apple;
stir for two minutes and then add th«
other vegetables, stirring until It be
gins to brown; then add flour and sea
soning, stir again, then pour milk ot
stock over; cover the stewpan and let
simmer one hour.—Boston Globe.
Blanquette of Lamb.
Cut cold, cooked lamb in strips, make s
sauce with three tablespoonfuls each ol
butter and flour stirred over the fire until
smooth, add one cupfnl of stock and on«
cupful of milk and stir until boiling
salt, pepper and dash of nutmeg and on«
tablespoonful of tomato catsup; beat tha
meat in this, turn out on a platter, serva
around it green peas or a potato border;
sprinkle with minced parsley.—Good

I am pleased to endorso Wine of Cardui as I found it so beneficial to
restore my strength after my baby was born. I could not seem to get well
enough to be up and able to do my work, and as I had been in bed for six
weeks this was rather serious, but soon after I began to use Wine of Cardui I
could see that I was beginning to get back my strength. In another week
1 was able to sit up most of the day and in a month I was able to be up and
do most of my work. I think it is rt /t
splendid medicine for a woman and VVL»
can certainly give it highest praise. TBB4a0BBB wolulf,. (kDomiAL LBA<JDB.

To the Distressed.
Fortunately for those suffering with
Rheumatism in all its various forms, in
cluding Sore Joints, Sore Muscles, and
Sore Feet, a remedy .has been discovered
by modem science which in every instance
effects a speedy and positive cure. This
new remedy is founded on scientific prin
ciples which are acknowledged by the
medical world as the only correct treat
ment for Rheumatic or Neuralgic troubles.
Medicines taken internally rarely ever ef
fect a cure without upsetting the stomach.
As a rule, they injure the digestive organs,
shatter the nerves, and in many instances
the patient contracts a drug habit which
leads eventually to a decline of the physi
cal ^>d mental forcA.
Paracamph is the new remedy and it is
a departure from the antiquated methods.
Paracamph enters into the system through
the natural channels, namely, the pores
of the skin. When applied it opens the
pores and allows the healing, soothing oils
to penetrate the sore, inflamed inebranes
and muscles, removes the congestion and
draws out the fever and inflammation, by
inducing sweating. This is the only treat
ment that can be indorsed by science, and
is guaranteed to erne even the most obsti
nate cases of Rheumatic Swellings if used
as directed. Paracamph can be procured
at drug stores in 25 cent, and 50 cent, and
$1.00 bottles. Write for book of testimo
nials, sent free. The Paracamph Company
