TUK OBLI, 110Pit For Victims of Bright's Disease is Dodd's Kidney Pills. Not a day passes on which the newspapers do not record the death of one or more persons from Bright's Disease. Already its victims num- ber hundreds of thousands.- Day by day the awful total grows larger. No class is safe from this destroyer, War and intemperance, with all their miseries and fatalities, are not: responsible for as many deaths as have; been caused by Bright's Dis- ease, _yet, therels a way of resisting it; of drawing its poisoned fangs, and making it as harmless as a summer breeze. That great medicine, Dodd's Kidney Pills, has cured thousands of the wort cases. It never fails to cure, hopeless as the case may seem. • Would you safely shield your loved ones from the fatal grip of this curse of mankind --Bright's Disease? Then use Dodd's Kidney Pills, the only cure on earth for this 'disease. , business of dealing exclusively in leeches,. and the number that he; sells in the (Mai' 'of a year proves that, - although 4 -generally` discarded by the medical .profession, there are still's great number of theria-iiiind in the course of a year. All along one side of his dingy little store are piled wooden came, some two feet square. Inside these boxes are filled with moist black turf, which fair- ly swarms with ugly little black bodies: There are 1;500 leeches in each ,case.• The caste are usually impeded in lots of from 10 to 25, so that in the manse of the year the number handled by the dealer must mount up close to the hundred thousands. "All my leeches come from Sweeden," says the dealer, thrusting his hand into the moist earth and bringing up a number of the squirming things."There are leeches in America, but they lack the peculiar efficacy of those, and, while they will draw; blood, they are apt to leave irritation and inflamma- tion behind. These Swedish leeches are found -in the much at the bottoms of small ponds. They are dug up by the peasants, mostly women and children, and are 'packed in wet earth in these wooden cases." Seasonable Salads. At this season a salad Of some sort should be served daily. The oil or sweet man' orfresh butter used in the dressing is particularly health- ful, and the system now demands the crisp' greens and acids. It is not necessary to have the salads ex- pensive and it is not desirable to have - them trio strongly acid,nor of a fiery flavor. The dictum of polite society is, if a dinner is to be given, to serve the 'salad as a 'separ- ate course with crisp crackers- or delicate biscuit or thin narrow strips of bread. Many a housewife would neglect this course unless it was optional Acs serve with meat; the mistress of a- family can deter- mine what she shall provide for her table, and how she shall serve it, but she should not, nevertheless, strike off salads from the bill of fare at this season. • Vegetable and fruit salads give zest to -a poor appetite, and cool the blood, while satisfying's' craving for a sub -acid food. Everything used in a salad should be of • the beet quality and perfectly fresh., Vege- tables for salad should never be prepared; long before serving. _ • The dressing ought to be made some hours before Ural needed, unless, it is mayonnaise, made in the salad bowl on the table. When salads are to be served each day it is a good plan to make a quantity of dress - deg from a good recipe, and keep it bottled in a cool place, ready for immediate use. • In mixing salad dressings it should be re- membered that the ingredients cannot be added too greatly, nor stirred too much. • TO CURE A COLD IN, ONE DAY.

PECULIAR CALLING IN WHICH' A CHICAGO TRADESMAN MAKES MONEY. Tifty years ago the ordinary physician had two standard remedies which he applied to two-thirds of his cases, says the Chicago Inter-O.:lean. If a man .was suffering from a fever or a -stroke of apoplexy his first re- source was to draw out from a gill to half a pint of blood from one of his limbs; if a bruise or a sprain caused a surface conges- tion he applied a leech, which accomplished the blood letting on a smaller scale, no far as the affected part was concerned. The leech is a peculiar animal. He lives in ditches and ponds, with pure running water, weeds for shelter and muddy banks and bottom. He may be preserved and kept alive in loose tuif or moss continually moistened. He has an appetite for human blood which is limited only by the amount that can be contained within his very elastic skin-. Until he has had his fill he will not release his hold; then he drops off and dies, for the blood that he absorbs so eagerly means death to him.

While ill she had greatly run down in weight, and at the time she began using Dr. Williams' Pink Pills was reduced to 102 pounds, and when she had completed the eighth box her weight had increased to 141 pounds. Only one month ago she palled at the home of the editor of this paper to leave her address to have the Reporter for- warded to her. at Arlington, Mass.

Don't Rake the Grass. • A horticulturist who has for years given the making of lawns a study remarked that the general mistake made was in cutting the grass with a lawn mower and raking the grass off. Be cited the case of a fine lawn which was treated in this manner, and it soon became so straggly that it took $14 worth of sodding to put the lawn in present- able shape again. He maintained that the small pieces of grass left on the lawn after it is cut serves not only to protect the ten- der roots from the sun, but protects them from frost in the winter, and -return to the earth the substance which hits been given up in Vegetation. -Columbus Dispatch. Good Rumored People. Those who are always good-humored. are very useful persons in this world, by diffus- ing a generous, cheerfulness among all who approach them. Habitual vivacity has the recommendation of not only its pleasurable feelings but it has &sanitary benefit for it keeps tie blood in proper circulation, quick- , ens the understanding, and even helps diges- tion. Indeed, it conduces to long life while • on the other' hand the habit of yielding to - and fostering saddness of heart embitters and shortens the 'days of the young. It is well essid by Solomon that "a merry heart cloth goo& like medicine; but a broken spirit drieth the bones." In latter times Bolingbroke gave it as his experience that, "in this farce of life, -wise men pass their time in mirth, whilst fools only are serious:" A Cunning Woman Barber. - A young widow, whose husband died two years ago, has opened a barber shop, and her sign reads Miss Boyd, Barber," says the St. Louie Republic. Asked why she called herself "Miss," he naively replied that she had good business reasons; that men seemed to prefer to be shaved and " tonsorialized " by an unmarried woman; they -seem to, hesitate at having their hair cut by a woman whose husband might come in and offer to attend to the customer himself. "If my sign read Mrs.' persons who saw it would expect tci find my husband here ready to wait on them. A woman barber who is single seems to be more attractive than one who is married," said Mrs. Boyd. • Fly Traps. To keep-- the flies out of our dwellin houses, Miss Ormerod gives this, method.

She Oates that this plan may be carried out in bay windows, and she says that it has been fotind most successful and a great relief to the inmates. • Ants and Their Relations. Little Nellie was in the kitchen one day, and eeeing some large insects crawling around she asked what they were and was told they were ants. The next morning she was playing in the yard, and seeing a lot of very small ants crawling over the ground, she ran to her mother and exclaimed: "Oh,' mamma, there's a whole lot of little nep- hews and nieces out in the yard coming to visit their aunts in the kitchen."
