Fer-Rcuoll)n8- ltrce,v4 by Tilden JErillsh • '14'i desaaen Protect Themselves. Thera is to be nn chance now for the gentlemen who likes to go on without paying his tailor for twelve months, or even for an indefinite per - led, and then change his tailor. In Liverpool, Manchester, and other large places the tailors are leading Lbe way with well kept black lists, worked on lines that are tieing copied by their trade brethren in other parts of the country. The aim elf some of the most ener- getic spirits is to build up anational black list, which will make it Impos- sible for men without means to go about dressed like gentlemen at the expense of the tailor. The lists are being better kept every year, and it is just possible that one day the man who has a auperabundanoe of tailors' bills and is without the wherewithal to Meet them will be prevented from giving orders for new clothes by the great risk wbich he will run of being detected and confronted with evidence of debts incurred elsewhere. A well dressed nun, with more tail- ors' bilis than clothes at home, can approach a new tailor with comfort and sang-froid to -day; he thinks he ie last as sada as the man who pays easli down, and never dreams that his long list of credit transactions in some ear away town can possibly be got at by his London tailor. But this kind of thing will be, more diffirutt in the future. There are many traps into which the man who never pays•may (fall.'Phe brace but- tons on his trousers show wbere be has done business moat recently, and the chances are that a wire will bring Information that will put the tailor en his guard. CONSUMPTION IPI NORWAY. lu Oai' Uril Met the ilhense 081 iller'm,aed AI : r'mlaiay. In November of last year Dr. Claus Hansen, of Bergen, delivered a lecture before the Steething at Christiana, on the causes of tuberculosis and the fight against it. He stated that dur- ing the 30 years of his own experi- ence consumption had increased in the Bergen district 80 per cent. In the year 1896, 54,5 per cent og all deaths between 15 and 30 yearn oil age were caused by tuberculosis, and statistics show that about 7,000 of the inhabit- ants of Norway ate every year of tills disease. In England, he continued, they have succeeded during the last 50 years in reducing one half the num- ber of tubevoulosia oases, and physi- cians attribute this to the increas- ing cleanliness in English bome life end the erection cd consumptive hos- pitals. The 'foremost endeavore in fighting tube,rculoals should be to agitate for greater cleanliness ingen- eral; particularly should efforts be di- rected against the habit of expector- %tlti'ng. Statistics of noueumptive sanitar- iums in Gevinany show that 80 1-8 per cent of the inmates were able to work the fits( year after the cure, 60 per cont. sitter .two years. 45. per cent. after thre), and 95 per cent afterfour years. On an average, it is estimat- ed that 50 per cent:. of the patients in sanitariums have their ability 'to work lengthened by one year.

In eleaning bouae, People tell ue, We ehouid begin . with the attic, .then clean the ohambers, then the parlor, if we have one, the living room, balls, rho dining room and china closet; the kitchen anda y ntr and la t cf all p n s the cellar. Other People tell us to begin with the Dollar. Wbon noted housekeepers disagree what shall we, dolt It seems to -me every homemaker must study the question from or own environment.; but study and plan she must If she would save, time and wor- ry and get through this dreaded sea- son oft the year With as little confus- ion 'as possible, writes a eorreepond- ant.

IL is a good plan to begin with the attic provided it is so warm that one will not take cold while doing the work. When cleaning elosets it is well to hang all woolen garments on the clothes line exposed to the sun .and wind after u good brushing.

I like to have the shelves and floors of closets painted to avoid dampness utter washing. 1 also like a hard fin- ish plastered walls in closets so that 1 can wipe them off with a'cloth wrung out in hot water. 'Garments whiah are outgrown or Lor other reasons cannot be used in your family may ba . given away. Many people hesitate to do this for fear of giving offense; but a "boort that is kind" will find a way to be a blessing. The sohool teacher can often give advice and help in planing garments where .most needed, Those to be anode over for your own family should be ripped and brushed and dipped in gasoline, not gasoline rubbed on the spots, but two or three gallons put in the wash boiler out doors and the light colored or cleanest clothing dipped first. It should be rubbed a little with the hands in the' gasoline, squeezed out and rinsed in clean gasoline. Men coats and gowns that do not need remaking can be washed in this way without ripping. Hung on a line the gasoline will soon evaporate. If the gasoline becomes dirty allow the dirt tosottle to the bottom and pour off the top. Clothing that needs sueh treatment can be put by when the closets arc cleaned, and attended to after the housecleaning is finished. Some housekeepers tease their bur- eau drawers and dry them in the sun at least one a year, others fit news- papers into the bottom of their bureau drawers, putting i0 fresh ones oc- casionally. If there are any traces of moths the drawers should be thor- oughly washed, the inside of the bu- reau cleaned and insect powder blown into every crack and earner before putting anything back into the drawers. Furs and fianuels which are to be laid away during the summer should be brusbed and beaten, wrapped in newspapers and then sewed upieun- bleached cotton sheeting. Some peo- ple sprinkle them with crumbs of gum camphor or place moth balls about them before wrapping; but I have known people who have kept furs free from moths for more than thirty years by simply brushing and beating them before wrapping and sewing them up," The malress may be taken to the piazza and placed in the sun and al- lowed to air well, pilldws hung in the wind but not the sun, blankets, if not soiled euouili to wash, hung on a line for several hours. Window shades should be taken down, unrolled, dusted rolled up again and put aside till the room has been cleaned. Unless repairs' make it necessary to do olhotwiee it is usually best to clean one room and put it in order before beginning another. Carpets should be taken up, even atsome inconvenicnoe, when the "men folks" can beat tbedn• I believe many women injure themselves uncon- sciously and shorten their lives by beating heavy carpets.

Almost every woman meets daily with innumerable little worries in her household affairs. Petbupe tbey aro too small to notice an hour after- . word, but those oonstant little worries have their effect upon the nervous system. Indeed, it is these little worries tbat make so many women look prematurely old. Their effect may also be noticeable in other ways, %such as sick or nervous head - Robe, fickle appetite, pains in the back or loins, palpitation of the heart, and a feeling of oonstant wear- iness. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms it is a sign that the blood and nerves need attention, and for this purpose Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for 'Pale people are wo- man's best friend. They aro particue tarty adapted as a regulator of the ailments that afflict women, and through the blood and nerves act upon the Whole system, bringing brightness to the,eye, and aglow of health to the cheeks, Th'ousands of grateful women have testified to the benefit derived from. the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. .Among those who freely aeknow,. ledge the benefit derived from this great :medicine is Mrs. Jas, Hughes, of Dromore, P,E.L., a lady wbo pos- sesses the respmet and esteem of all who know her. Mrs. Hughes speaks of her illness and sure as follows: "Until about four years ago I had always enjoyed good health, and was looked upon as oua who possesseda robust constitution. Then !began to grow weak, was troubled with se- veru headaches, and frequently with violent pains in the region of my heart, from which 1 would only find ease through but applications. Aly stomach also gave me much trouble, and did not appear to perform its cuetomary functions. I was treat ad by a skilful looter, but althbugh under his care for severutl months, I grow gradually weaker and weaker, until finally 1 was not able Lo leave my bed. Then I called in another doctor, whose treatment, although, continued for some eight months, was equally fruitless. I was scarcely able to hold my head up, and waaso nervo,,e that 1 was crying half the time. My condition can best be de - emitted as pitiable. At this time a friend brought me a newspaper in w.bdicih wash the story of a cure of a womap 'whose ease was in many re- speels similar to mine, through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, I then decided that 1 :would give rte pills a fair trial. When I began the use of the pills I was in soon a con- dition that the :doctor told me I would always be an invalid. I used four boxes of the pills before I no- ticed' any benefit, and then 1 could see they were helping me. I used twelve boxes in all, covering a treat- ment of nearly six months, when I was as wall as over 1 h'a'd bean in my life and I have ever since enjoy- ed the Resit of health.

He is ratted Black Cronje, possibly on account of his dark, Kaffir -like complexion, pos- sibly for his more than Kaffir cruelly,' Ile has never been forgiven the treachery at Potchefstroom. The valiant garrison at that place, under Colonel Winslow, held out to the very last., and then was compelled to sur- render by the fraud of Cronja. This is tate story: On March 0, 1881, Sir Evelyn Wood concluded an armistice with the Boer leaders at Lang's Nek. One of the terms was that the British com- mander should be at liberty to sand eight days' provislous to each of the garrisons in the Transvaal, all .hos- tilities being suspended for that. period. Piet Joubert undertook to send notice of the armisties to all the garrleons and Boer commanders. On March. 12, according to Dr. Jorisser, news of the armistice reached Cronje at Potchefstroom. But three days earlier it reached him from President _Grande. Yet on the 17th Cronje had taken no nottee of it, and Colonel Winsloe, finding his wounded man dying from want of food, sent out a spy, and brought in news of the armis- tice. On the 19th \Vinsloe sent a let- ter to Cronja to this effect, and that he, the Colonel, was told provisions were awaiting entry into the fort. Cronje merely replied. drat the pro- visions had not arrived. The result was that the 'garrison was compelled to surrender. Four days later, March 23, men, woman and children, worn down almost to skeletons, left the small fort, where they had been 000ped up for three months, a home-made flag tattered with shot waving at their head. They were beaten by famine and treachery, but they were not disgraced.. MAGNIFIED ADMIRATION.
