Frank Wood. Violet Leaves for Cancer. A London (Eng.) dispatch said re cently : "That a brew frmn viol*. leaves is an effective cure for tante may not he new in theory. but tw actual cures are now reported. Muc interest has been taken to a story tol by Dr. Gordon, of Exeter, of a ata who refused to be operated on for can ter of the tongue. Then violet leave were tried, the garden variety bein found preferable to the wild violet Every day he drank part of the tete hot; the rest he used as a fomentation That treatment has been continue( since the beginning of November last and now nothing remains but a tin hard scar. On reading this story woman. well-known socially, writes telling an even more remarkable stor of the cure of cancer of the liver h violet leaves.

Sh took it wine glass of the decoctio► several times at day, and also applies cotton wool soaked in the hot liquor over the seat of the cancer. Th woman says she is now complete) cured." Millinery openings. The usual Annual Millinery Open logs marking the spring season was held Friday and Saturday last at the various millinery establishments throughout town, and to say the least the sight at each and all roust have been aperfect dream of delight to the hundreds of fair ones who visited the show rooms. As the seasons come around the ever -alert and wide-awake business men of Exeter show their enterprise by displays that are in keeping with the occasion. It has leen remarked before, and the state- ment eitnnot be too often r'peated, that in no town of equal size can there be found as good an exhibit as is made by Exeter merchants. The Spring Millinery Openings this season are a corroboration of this statement, as ladies who had visited other places— cities included—testified to the excel- lence and superiority of the Show here. The most noticeable feature in the newest irnpnrt,►ti(ns is the profusion miming of tr 111111nged at the backs of the hats. Another feature of this season's bat is the bandeau. Nearly every new merlel has a bandeau, and it may he placed at the back to accen- tuate the tip -tilted brim, or at the side, where the 'obit is either flared or fold- ed over to meet the top of the crown, while some of the daintiest creations have a tiny bandeau in front or even all around. The shape will take on entirely different aspects by et clever handling of the bandeau. Floral trim- mings were never so beautiful, both as to form end color, and almost every bat of any in)portance is adorned with some sort of flower or foliage. Roses hold first place in the trimming of smart headgear, and each season they appear more attractive. Garlands of miniature morning-glories, pansies in pastel, and conventionalized pansies, and the fluffy feathery thistles sug- gest delightful effects in the adorn• insist of Spring and Summer headgear. One of the picturesque hats of the sea - is the Corday in hroderie anglaise. Ribbon or flowers form the trimming. The newest turban in perfectly round, with the edge of the rolled -up brim meeting the crown edge. }- y e v a- t r 0 h 0 s • g w 1 y a y v t d 1 g e e •y Miss Olive Treble is in Landon for a few days.
