THE BUBAL WEW-YOBKEB. 
LEMONS. 
Many people know the value of lemon juice 
in allaying bilious troubles. Many leuow 
nothing of the wonderful power wrapped up 
in the little yellow fruit, for the good lemon 
juice has doue is wonderful—as wonderful as 
it is harmless and simple. A lady who had 
suffered greatly with severe attacks of some¬ 
thing akin to bilious colic, keeps free from 
them as long as she faithfully takes lemon 
juice. Let her, through “feeling so well,” 
neglect, to take the juice of at least one lemon 
a day, and in a short time symptoms of the 
return of the old enemy will make her only too 
glad to be faithful over that little thing. For 
several years,thiB lady hail been subject to these 
attacks, at times so severe as to indicate gall¬ 
stones. No care of diet or druggist’s doses 
averted them, and hope of relief was nearly 
gone, when a friend said, “You crave sour— 
why not try lemon juice and water? Dr. 
Somebody says a persou need never be bilious 
who will take the juice of one lemon in water 
every night before retiring.” Catching at this 
straw, the lemons were tried, and the juice in 
water, without sugar, was freely drank when¬ 
ever thirsty, and always the last thing at 
night. One slight attack of the old trouble 
proved that the remedy was doing a good 
work, and after that, complete exemption for 
more than a year, makes her an ardent advo¬ 
cate of lemon juice and water. Sick head¬ 
aches yield in many cases to this simple treat¬ 
ment. Some canuot t>ear the acid, but those 
who crave it are very sure to be benefited by 
its use. s. E. h. 
RAG DOOR MAT. 
In these days of cheap carpets ono often 
wonders what to do with the old clothes wo 
used to make rag carpets out of. I have 
found a way to make use of “men’s old cassi- 
inere clothes.” Make a large crochet needle 
out of greeu hickory, then Cut the cloth in 
narrow stri|>es and sew it together as for car¬ 
pet rags—the light and dark separate^. 
Commence with the dark, knit a chain a 
quarter of a yard long, throw the cloth over 
the needle and knit around tho chain with a 
plain stitch widening at each corner until the 
rug is three-quarters of a yard long. Then 
join tbe light cloth, and knit two rows, then 
two of dark, two of light and finish with two 
of the dark. If you will follow these direc¬ 
tions you have a very serviceable door mat 
that will not easily kick up. 
MRS. R. W. WILLIAMS. 
CHEAP DRESS-GOODS. 
Mrs R. W. W. writes: I think it, is mistaken 
economy to buy cotton and wool dresses. The 
making, lining, buttons, silk and thread 
cost just as much as they would for an all- 
wool dress, and after they are worn a couple 
of times, their first freshness gone, they are 
faded and shabby, while by adding a few 
dollars to the first outlay and buying a good 
quality of all-wool goods, you have a dress 
which will look well as long as the fashion 
lasts, and can then t>e cleaned and remade. 
The summer silks are very pretty but are not 
as serviceable as an all wool dress of a good 
quality.

though she was a girl of downright good 
sense,” he explained, “like so mauy other wo¬ 
men, it scorns to be their fai Liu’, You couldn’t 
make her cautious as to marrying, and she 
married. Then she tided to get him elected 
school superintendent. I told her it was no 
use, and it wasn't; and she paid his whiskey 
bills, aud he not only used up all her money, 
but beat and misused her; that smart girl 
that might have lathered him well if she had 
sot about it. But she didn’t, and I guess if 
her father hadn’t come on and took her away, 
that she would have gone on snbmittin’ and 
died of a broken heart. And just as I had 
hinted to her, the fellow had a wife when she 
married him. He had left number one up in 
Washington Territory, and the poor thing 
followed him down here, coming in a lumber 
schooner, stowed away with her three-months’ 
old baby in the hold like a piece of wood! 
And after number two left him he married 
still again!” 
“That’s tho California way, is it?” I ob¬ 
served. 
“Yes, it’s the California way! Marry as 
many times as you can; and it's an awful good 
place to get crazy in; the lunatic asylums are 
just, running over!” 
“But you like it here?” 
“Oh yes, I like it. When I look around on 
this show, all these oranges and lemons and 
pomegranates and olives and posies, I just 
wish that my father could take a look at it 
all. I’ve got Ins picture—taken 50 years ago 
when he was 51)—and I’ve just a mind to bring 
it hero and let him tako a look around! Do 
you think there would be any harm in that?” 
(Tirls generally in the country in California 
ride much on horseback, and in the towns 
drive a great deal, and seem to be accustomed 
to horses. And women, for the larger part, 
have the Boston fever of work. They all want 
to learn some trade, or acquire some vocation 
by which they can earn money, for the time 
has come when money is no more plentiful 
here than elsewhere. The girls learn type¬ 
writing. shorthand—are not so much employed 
as dry goods clerks—but very generally as 
teachers, and many married women with 
grown families engage in teaching. Single 
women object to this, as they contend that 
when a woman is married, it is the business of 
her husband to support her—as it is—only no 
husband “supports” his wife any more than 
he supports his hired man or clerk—and the 
mutual support comes just ns much from her 
as from him. Everybody complains of the in¬ 
cessant drive of California life; owing to the 
climate, there is no specially dull season in 
trade or business, no getting away during the 
heats of Summer as in the East, or of rest for 
farmers in the Winter, no time when one can 
take a holiday better than at another, which 
is one explanation why business meu break 
down and get into the insane asylum. 
Still, among agriculturists, there is a good 
deal of the laissez alter, and a large propor¬ 
tion of them haven’t as yet caught the “Boston 
fever.”

Catarrh 
Is frequently an indication of a Scrofulous 
taint in the system. Ayer’s Sarsaparilla 
purifies the blood, and thus restores health 
to the affected membranes. It also stops 
the nauseous catarrhal discharges, and 
prevents the infection from reaching the 
lungs and stomach. Catarrh should be 
treated as a blood disease. 
I suffered for years from chronic 
Catarrh. Mv appetite was very poor, and 
I felt miserably. None of the remedies I 
took afforded me any relief until I com¬ 
menced using Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, of 
which I have now taken five bottles. 
The catarrh has disappeared, and l am 
growing strong and stout; my appetite 
has returned, and my health is fully re¬ 
stored.—Susan L. W. Cook, 009 Albany st.,
