Yet the fact remained ,perfectly plainto me, and also to Angelina, my wife, 'that the dear olRe lady always regarded me as an interloper in the; Trotter family (my wife's mother was a Trotter) and only condescended to' put up with me for Angelina's sake.!

To Freshen Furs. Many owners of furs, on receiving them from cold storage or or taking them from their summer packing box- es, are distressed to observe that th.e fur—even. the : most handsome—ap- pears dead and lusterless, a condition most noticeable when subjected to the test of comparison with a new set. Furs in this condition are not attrac- tive, and it is well worth the trouble of applying the Russian remedy, which 'both cleans and freshens. The 'dead appearance of fur, as a rule, is due simply to the fact that it is soiled. It neve_ seems to occur to most persons thet any but white fur becomes soiled, but it does. To clean it the Russians, who use more fur than any other people, take rye bran, which is heated in an earthen pot until it is as hot as the hand can stand, being stirred all the while, arid pour it upon the fur in liberal quan- tities, rubbing it in thoroughly. They then brush out all particles of bran witha clean true\\, or shake and pound the fur. =Ward's.nininrent Cures Colds. ao. Fresh laid eggs should not be shaken.
