J. F. Shiley. In this quilt block, "Mrs. Lloyd's favorite," use two colors, dark and light.

While the quilt is prettiest if made of only two colors, any odds and ends may be utilized; indeed, the pattern is a valuable one for using large and small pieces. The blocks may be set together with plain squares or strips, or the quilt may be entirely of jections of either olive oil or water as warm, as can be comfortably borne with a little glycerine or castile soap.

This, if cleared out, Kives immediate relief and in many instances permanent cure. Persons who are in the habit of using means of this sort are said to be singularly free from intestinal troubles of all kinds.

Imb I mmm -tvamr 1 1 Pretty maid, if you discover That your ardent, pleading lover Spends his time in loafing idly 'round the town. If his hair is carried bangy On his forehead, and he's slangy, Don't you hesitate a moment-turn him down! If you note his eyebrows fusing O'er the nose that he is using, And the very least annoyance makes him frown, He has got a disposition That may land you in perdition, JAnd you'd better nerve yourself and turn him down! If he pays no marked attention, Doesn't even give it mention, When you meet him in a new and charming gown, Show him to the door politely, Tell him that his Sunday nightly must be discontinued; turn him down! If he talks about the races, Call3 the silver dollars "cases," Tells you how he "done up" Smith or Jones or Brown In a little game of poker By a sleeve-play with the "joker," Show him quickly to the door and turn him down! If his breath should often savor Of a cigarettish flavor, And his fingers with the ugly stain are brown, If he meets you with a swagger And you catch a sniff of lager. Get your nerve in proper trim and turn him down! Study well your pleading lover Or you may too late discover That he'll place more thorns than roses in your crown, And if anything about him Gives you slightest cause to doubt him, Do it in a gentle way. but turn him down!

COMPANY, Factory 3, Buffalo, N. Y. "CATCHING" COLD-Do we literally "catch" cold? Though the phrase is as old as the hills it has been regarded as an inaccurate term to describe an unpleasant experience, but now comes so eminent an authority as the London Hospital with the assertion that the common nasal catarrh known as a cold is a specific infectious disease, and. therefore, to be caught. It ventures no opinion as to the nature of the attacking germ, but asserts that there is proof enough that it is a disease which may be communicated.
