ODDS AND ENDS. 
Cutting Over Stockings. — A great 
many practice the economy of cutting 
over cotton stockings when they become 
worn. At Fig. 24 is shown one way of 
cutting which is very economical, and 
avoids some of the objectionable seams 
necessary in other methods. The stock¬ 
ing, with worn heel and toe, is shown 
at A. In 11. the dotted lines show where 
to cut ; C shows the finished stocking, 
dotted lines marking the seams. It will 
be necessary before joining the foot por¬ 
tion to the leg, to slope the cut, carry¬ 
ing it higher in front just enough to 
make it the same length as the corres¬ 
ponding seam of the foot portion. G. h. 
Wall Hangings. —It is much more of 
an art to select paper that will look 
well after it is hung, than the inexperi¬ 
enced think. It very often happens that 
a wall paper which pleases in the roll, 
or when displayed by the salesman, pro¬ 
duces an altogether different effect when 
once pasted on wall or ceiling, where 
the whole design shows itself. Where 
pictures are to be hung on the walls, it 
is best and safest to choose a plain paper 
without design, such as the studio or 
cartridge paper, and one in which the 
design is very unobtrusive, but intricate, 
well and closely worked in and out, so 
that there will not be a spotty effect, 
which follows what may be called a set 
design or j>attern. The latter is tire¬ 
some to the eyes, and hard to manage as 
a background for furnishings of any 
kind. Next to delicacy and negativeness 
of design, one must consider the room 
and its furnishings as to the prevailing 
tint that should decorate the walls. 
Avoid pronounced and dark colors and 
decided patterns. Remember that it re¬ 
quires an extra lamp to lighten a room 
hung with dark paper. m. av. f.

Child’s Jacket. 
This garment is a very necessary and 
convenient part of a child's wardrobe, 
and may be made up as plainly or as fan¬ 
cifully as desired. It is simply shaped 
with shoulder and under-arm seams, and 
closes in front with pearl buttons and 
buttonholes. The full puffs are arranged 
over sleeve linings that are faced and 
decorated at the wrists to form cuffs, 
frills of lace falling over the hands. The 
broad, fancy collar finishes the neck, a

.... Anona'mous : “When a man goes 
into the kitchen to help his wife, she 
has to drop everything and wait on him.” 
_Bismarck, in a Young Girl’s Album: 
“ Beware, my child, of building castles 
in the air, for they are buildings which 
we erect so easily, yet they are most 
difficult to demolish.” 
_W. D. Howells : “ Even if a human 
life is very long, it seems to be the in¬ 
carnation of but two demands. During 
the first 30 or 40 years, perhaps, its cry 
is ‘ Give me !’ and then for another 30 or 
40 years, perhaps, its cry is 4 Forgive me!’ 
And then comes the end of the life.” 
... .The Housekeeper : “ Many people 
think that because there is a baby in the 
house all else must be overlooked in an 
endeavor to keep the small monarch in 
a pleasant humor. Their agility to 
obey his behests would indicate that, 
in case of a revolt, he and not they 
would be able to execute sentence of 
punishment.”

Disease Is an effect, not a cause. Its origin .8 
within; its manifestations without. Hence, to 
cure the disease the cause must be removed, and 
in no other way can a cure ever be effected. 
Warner’s SAFE Cure Is established on Just this 
principle. It realizes that 
95 PER CENT. 
of all diseases arise from deranged Kidneys and 
Liver, and it strikes at once at the root of the 
difficulty. The elements of which it is composed 
act directly upon these great organs, both as a 
food and restorer, and, by placing them in a 
healthy condition, drive disease and pain from 
the system. 
For the innumerable troubles caused by 
unhealthy Kidneys, Liver and Urinary Organs; 
for the distressing Disorders of Women; for ail 
Nervous Affections, and physical derangement? 
generally, this great remedy has no equal. Its 
past record is a guarantee of continued per.

Gan ASTHMA Be Cured ? 
IS A QUESTION 
AFFECTING 
THOUSANDS. 
“ It gives me pleasure to say that you have cured me of Asthma. I suffered several days at a 
time every year for over 10 years before I commenced Dr. Hayes’ treatment. After a thorough 
trial 1 was cured, and haven’t suffered a minute since. This was over live years ago. If you 
wish you may publish this.” G. L. CONNOli, IVI. I>., Cokeshury, S. C. 
“Schuyler is very well, and entirely free from Asthma and the other complaints that formerly 
troubled him so much. For the past two years he has had no return of his Asthma, and is strong 
and well, and can do his 10 to 20 miles on his bicycle. As for myself, 1 have had no return of 
Asthma for several years, and In fact have never had since the Urst year of using your medi¬ 
cine (.1838).” W. C. PATE, 46 Cedar Street, New York, N. Y.
