'see:togs AT QUEEN VICTORIA'S DRAWING ROOM.
There was, however, little Lenten sombre-
ness about the dresses worn at Queen Vic-
toria's spring function. The colors were,
as a rule, varied and brilliant. One or two
women went in for a tropical splendor of
hue and daringuese of contrast which fairly
made one gasp. There was a predominance
-of violet, in some cases soviolent of shade
as to be better described by the old-world
"puce." No doubt Her Majesty, who has
not been in the way of observing changes
in dress, was gratified by the return to the
style, and in some measure to the colors, of
the earlier portion of her reigo. Queen
Victoria has never abendoned elle full skirt
ever the bodice cut low on the shoulders,
and she has a great liking for the colors in
vogue in her earlier and happier years, ouch
-as royal purple, puce and grass green. Red
is aleo a favorite color with her, and it is
'well known to be Princess Chriatian's
=chosen hue. There is no doubt that
the revival of rreh and vivid coloring
-does much to make large assemblies or
smartly dressed women brilliant and en-
livening sights. Gorgeous was the apparel
-of one lady at the Pelaceewhose dress was
,of orange satin and her train of bright
apple -green velvet. With just; a touch of
) alone her in splendor of plumage. Another
vivid red, no tropical bird could have out -
daring contrast was that of a bright red
brocade dreier and a green velem) train.
: Pink and mauve were beautifully combined
rather than contrasted, in one court cos-
tume; and and another showed a clever
,•blending of yeliow, pink and blue.
. 'COSTUME OP THE CHINESE AMISASSADRESS.
The novelty at the drawing -room was the
'Chinese Ambassador's wife, who was accom-
panied by her daughter. This is the Brat
occasion upon which a Chineee woman has
ever attended oue of Queen Victoria's court
receptions. The Ambaese,dress, Mdme.
..Sieh had an over•drees of almost black silk,
with a petticoat on which embroideries
• in many pale hues were arranged as
Tarp squares around the hem. Below the
= ohoulder cape was another Kluane, exquis-
itely worked in a design of oirds, flowers
and trees, an indication, doubtless, of rank
. or official position, as with the addition of
a seal and a tatael, this was also worn by
the Ambassador himself. Her dark hair
was drawn smoothly into a knot at the
back of her head, but this was almost con-
eealed by •her headdress of some dull,
. pearly -white substance, of which one broad
band passed across her brow and another
further back upon her head, the two being
oonnected at the sides, near the ear, with
an ornament composed of several tenets of
pearls. Mdlle. Sieh's hes,ddrees was similar
to that of her mother, but the adornment
at the side was simpler. Her petticoat was
• also embroidered in the same deeiun and
istyle as Mdme. Sieh's. The overdress
which she wore was of rich silk, in a lovely
shade of pure Daimon pink. The fall cape
over the shoulders was stiffened out

POPULARITY OF MIROIR VELVET.
Aliroir velvet is immensely popular just
now for evening gowne. The following is IA
smut dinner droas of this fabric. It is made
en princesse of blue velvet shot with yel-
low. The front is draped with a &mace of
old lace commencing at the square -cut de-
colletagegand continuing on to the train.
The opening at the neck is outlined with
cabochons of jet and the large sleeves ea e of
velvet. Another evening gown is of silver.

design, is bordered at the hem and with a
frill of violet velvet. The low bodice has
wide revers of velvet and is trimmed with
a berth° of ecru lace. The sleeves also in
violet are short, and boaillonnees finishing
off with is frill.
COLIMIDINA CAPULET'S NEW BONNET.
The new bonnets are very pretty, but
they are in direet defiance of whab ouee was
thoughb refined taste. They are adorned
with Palais Royal jewels, the size of
filberts. Them have to be very carefully
considered to avoid vulgarity. A tali and
handeome lady on a recent occasion wore one
on which were jewels not rioh and rare, but
many, large and varied. She looked rather
like that imitation Arabian jewelled brass -
work with which one has beoome
for the bonnet WEE deed gold. The effect
was not sueoessfal, but it was remarkable,
which was probably jaet what it V743
intended to be. The wearer is one of those
women who take pains to get the newest
things, and is equally careful that, having
done so, she and they shall be noticed.
Having is striking appearance she melees
her clothes striking too, and it is a
balm to her to hear, "Ah, the new bonnet;
yes, we saw Lady Columbine Capulet wear-
ing one like that weeks ago." Had it been
o quieb and tasteful version of the lateeb
novelty it might have been passed over un-
remarked, but an insietent production, such
as it was, attracted attention and remained
on the nerves for some time.
DINNER TABLE:DECORATION.:
The great idea in arranging flowers for
the table now is to have them look as bright
as possible. The blossoma stand up as
though they were growing,. and soft; yeila of
asparagus fern and heiverang spraysof the
invaluable smilax'with its neat, graceful
and glossy leaf, shaped aimed like is heart.
LONG LIFE YET IN STRIPES.
That stripes down the centre of the table
are quite gone out is is fallacy. Lotogths of
shimmering brocade, especially if they con-
tain some sparkling gold or silver threads,
are eagerly pounced upon for this purpoae,
and is table never looks better than when
the candelabra and fruit dishes, whether of
gold, ailver, rare china or costly glass, rise
from a ground of exquisite brocade or
sweet -tinted velvet, bordered with is tiny
miniature hedge of flowers. I recently
dined at a table where the centre was filled
•with gold brocade, the shades were gold,
lined withold rose (most becoming to the
diners !), and the flowers wore tulips in
every tone of gold colon
INVENTOR OF IFICIFER MATCHES.
Isaac Bolden, If. P., Fidel Think a Patent

It is not generally known that it is to
Isaac Holden, M. P., that we owe the in-
vention of the limiter match. The dis-

whom we all know well, every one is inter-
ested, and all are anxious and even eager
for the most minute dentate For some
months past there have been publiehed in
the columne of the independent from time to
bime accounte of remarkable cures made by
that now justly famous medicine—Dr.
"Wilhelm' Pink Pills for Palo People. Pos.
sibly some of our readers have looked upon
name of these accounts as describing cures
highly improbable, if not impossible. And
yet this should not be the case, for they
are all vouched for by respectable news-
papers who could have no object in
stating other then the facts, gnd who
would be desoredited by their own" readers
were they to do so. However, seeing is
believing, and Mr. Ezra Merritt, of
South Grimsby, stands forth to -day as
living testimony to the wonderful curative
powers of this not at all over-estimated
medicino—Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Having
heard that a moat remarkable cure had
beenaffeeted in the caee of Mr. Merritt, the
editor of the Independent, with that desire
poezeseed by most newapaper men for veri-
fying things coming under their notice, re-
solved to investigate the case and satisfy
himself as to the truth of the story. Some
days ago he drove over to Smithville, and
at once called upon Mr. D. W. Eestman,
druggist, a straightforward business man
whose word is as good as his bond with all
who know him. Mr. Eeatman stated that
he knew of the case of Mr. Merritt, and
considered it is most remarkable one.
Mr. Palmer Merritt had come to him
one day and asked him if he could give him
anything that would helphis brotter, Ezra
Merritt, who was suffering untold agony
with pains in all his joints, his back and his
head. Mr. Merritt stated that his brother
had tried everything, and could find nothing
to help him, and that the doctors could give
him no ease. One doctor from the United
States had told him positively that there
was no help for him, and that death only
could set him free from his agony. Mr.
Merritt further told Mr. Eastman that his
brother wished to try Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills, and &eked him if he thought it would
be any use. Mr. Eastman advieed him to
try them, as wonderful cures had been
worked by their use. Mr. Merritb acted on
his advice and continued the use of Pink
Pills until he is now is well man and sound
as ever.
• The editor then drove over to see Mr.
Merritt, and found that gentleman sound
and hearty, looking over his cattle in his
farmyard. Mr. Ezra Merritt is is well-to-do
former owning two fine farina about 3a
miles west of Smithville, in the township of
South Grimsby. When the newspaper man
told the object; of his visit Mr. Merritt ex-
pressed his willingnees to give him the
mllest particulars of his case, and we can-
not do better than give it in his own words:
"The first time I was troubled," said Mr.
Merritt, " was on July lat. 1891. We
commenced haying on that day and I felt
sore and stiff in all my joints. I now be.
lieve the trouble originated through my
washing some sheep in cold water the pre-
ceedieg April, when I went into the water
and stayed so long that when I came out
my legs were numb, but I did not feel any
bad rtsults until July, as I he•ve said. I
graduelly grew worse until I could scarcely
do anything. I kept on trying to work
but it was a terrible struggle, and the
way I suffered was something awful.
Every joint in my body was etiff and in-
tensely painful. As time paseed on I
gradually grew worse, the pains went into
my back and at times my agony was
almost unbearable. I had tried all home-
made remedies but without avail. I then
consuited a doctor but his medicine had
no effect. At the time of the Smithville
fair a doctor wan over here from the
Seetes and I consulted him. He said my
case was hopeless, and I need not expect
enytbing but death to release me from
my pain. As winter came on the pain
got into my head and my sufferings were
something terrible. About dark the pain
would starb about my ear and work up
until it reached the crown of my head.
As rimming came on the pain in my head
would subside, but the peens in the rest of
my body never left me, and at lest I
grew so had that when I would lie on my
back I could not get up to save my life

getting better. It was about this time that
1 hoard of the wonderful cures by the use of
Dr, Williams' Pink Pills, and Mr. Eastman,
of Smitheitle, advised thab they be given a
trial. My brother got me a box and I took
them, hut felt no good resulte. I
took dill another box and still no percep-
tible betefit, and I felt to weak and dis-
couraged that I decided not to take any
more. At this time a lady from Hamilton

them, This gave me hope which did not
again waver, as I found myself steadily
growing better, and continued the use of

CARSON'S RIG JUMP.
ins Tremendous Leap trona Arimainanism
to Calvinism.
Some minutes afterward he woke up with
a question which elicited the reply " Yes, I
am a newspaper man from Detroit." and
to another, Yea, I know Carson good
preacher, that; he went from Kingston to
Detroit."
"He went from here," was rapidly
snapped out, and then I learned for the
first time that the old gentleman was a
Presbyterian minister. He told it in little
jerks, as though he were fully prepared to
sustain any statement he made at may haz-
ard of life and limb. Then he discussed
Careen for a short spell and said that Car-
son took is tremendous leap when he left
Arminianiem and took up with Calvinism,
That he was is preacher in the Methodist
Church and came out and joined the Pres-
byterian Church.
His words were of suoh solemnly weighty
import and gave such an impression of the
vast width of the theological chasm between
the Mothodint and the Presbyterian
churches that I fancied 1 oould see Mr.
Carson resolutely flying through air in the
tremendous leap ; but missing the other
side by quite half a mile. But when the
old man's voice changed to the brotherly
pe.thebio and took on the flute -like tone,
when he said he had a letter from Carson,
with rather a tender touch of considerate-
ness in his voice, I could easily see Mr.
Carson stepping over the chasm without
effort and being received with acclamations
of joy by mighty congregations.—Ottaroct
