FADS AN DFANOI'ES, The princess skirt is in evidence, Klutki is muc:liudvd in trimmings. Street gowns will have little trim- ming, The waistcoat maintains it popu- larity. °Autumn jackets are trimmed with large buttons. Half lones of all colors lead in •wintor materials, There is a short waisted effect in .nearly all coats. Hats will be worn as low as they can be put on the head, Late fall and winter coats will probably have long sleeves. Felt will probably be less used .for hats than in many years. Black will bo nn(eli seen both in •dress and in every day gowns. Most coats will be semi -fitting and will extend below the hips. Popular colors for hat trimming will be citron and geranium, Gold and brown, jade green, and coral will be popular colors in toques. Buttons are the distinguishing note of many of the fall and winter costumes. Skirts will bo close fitting and the model most seen will be the many gored. Gone is the "Merry Widow" and fashionable milliners are predicting small hats, Dark materials will be used for many of the fashionable street suits this winter, Most sleeves are down to the wrist, but the short sleeves have not boon altogether discarded. Allshades of yellow will be used, 'bet burnt gold and golden brown will enjoy special favor. Blue comes first in fall colors and the rich dark tone navy will be em- ployed in many smart gowns. New autumn jackets have plenty of pockets, wider lapels, and plain- er sleeves than those of last year. Braid will be much used this win- ter, and buttons will figure on win- ter wear even more than during the summer. A fashionable fall color is "sca- biuse," a nondescript hue of lilac that will be largely used for acces- sories. Plum colors and all shades of pur- ple aro much exploitedin the win- ter suits in the windows of the big shops. Buttons are to be freely used in lapping one gore over another, and often the whole skirt will be cover- ed with them. Street skirts are a trifle longer than the summer dresses have been; .and for costumes that approach for- mality the skirts nnist be long. The toque is the last cry in fash- ionable hats, and in its most sty- lish form it is a creation of most fragile and brilliant materials. Beautiful gold buttons and bur- nished and dull oxidized silver ones and mold covered with silk aro all employed in variously appropriate ways. The scarf or sash is in evidence in morning, afternoon, and evening gowns on young and old, and is draped in as many ways as the fancy of the wearer can contrive. Some of the new silks are in checkerboard designs of graduated blocks in exquisite colorings, m which black is generally combined with wistaria, taupe, or the new duck's wing blue. .Childr.en's fashions have changed but little and the famous "Buster Brown" costume still has no equal for geuoral wear and simplicity. Aun:c.ler charming style is the long waisted "Pinafore" dress. Evening gowns are once more long -•-so long, in fact, that the train instead of commencing at the hack of the dress starts ab the side, the brain being so out as to cling to- gether in sort narrow folds. The sheath girdle is the newest form of bolt and is a flat, tubular ribbon, woven from mercerized thread. This waist accessory is macre from one and ono -quartet yards of ribbon, and is arranged around the waist, tied once, a shoe(, end overhanging the long one at the ]eft side. The ends are (ring- ed and then knotted. CO1''1'TS OF il1,9'I'p1113OXES. r' Empty ltonattudy of 'htnaiiy ilexes Glued to a Wooden Shell.

The symptoms of stomach trouble vary, Some victims have a raven- ttls appetite, while others loathe the sight of food, Often there is a feeling as of weight on the chest, a full fooling in the throat, With colors there is an intense pain and feeling of nausea after eating. fiometimes gas presses on the heart and leads the sufferer to think he has heart disease. Sick headache is another frequent and distressing symptom. Mr, Alex, McKay, McLellan's Mountain, N. S., says :—"Por years I was a great sufferer from indi- gestion, which. was gradually grow- ing worse and worse, and it would be impossible for me to tell how much suffering I endured. At dif- ferent times I had treatment from three good doctors, but it did not help me in the least. Then I began trying all sorts of advertised medi- Cmos, and took ten packages of one medicine specially intended for dyspepsia, but with no better res sults. I had practically come to regard myself as incurable, and to feel that I would be a continuous sufferer, when one day I read in a newspaper of the cure of indiges- tion through the use of Dr. Wil- liams' Pinlc Pills, and I made up my mind to give them a trial. I had used nearly five boxes before they began to help me, but I do not won- der at this as my case was so bad. I used in all a dozen boxes of the pills, and they cured me complete- ly. I can now eat anything we raise on the farm for man to eat and have no longer tho pains and discomfort I had endured for years. Ii is several years since I was oured, and 1 have never felt a symp- tom of indigestion since. I am well known in this locality and you are quite at liberty to use what I say in the hope that it will benefit some other sufferer," All medicine dealers sell Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills or you can get thein by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. A. STEEPLEJACK'S ORDEAL. In Falling Clutched at a Rope 170 Feet in the. Air. Ainsworth, a steeplejack;'descrio- ed to jurymen, at Bradford, Eng- land, who could not repress a shud- der, grow he was saved by a lucky cluteh at a rope -end whilst failing with his comrade from a mill chim- ney 170 feet in height. Conway, the other steepljack, was not so fortu- nate, and met an instantaneous death. The amen had climbed the great slack in the usual way, by clamping ladder upon ladder to the brick un- til the ladders reached the top. They tested every stave of the lad- der der twice in their dangerous work. At the end they sat on a plank placed across two staves. Suddenly one of the staves on which they rested broke, the plank tilted beneath them, and instant- ily they were in the air, falling to the easth 170 feet below, As he fell a swinging .rope whipped across Ainsworth's hand, and his fingers closed upon it. The jerk was ter- rible, but his grip was made mar- vellously strong by the knowledge that it meant life or death. He hung suspended, while his comrade was already mangled and dead on the earth. His hold was precarious and slippery; by great muscular exertion ho got his other hand to the ripe. Then, dangling, he struggled up slowly, a terrible test of strength lasting several min- utes. He won. He reached one of the ladders and clung there. Then, as realizi;d that lis lived and was practically safe, he slowly descend- ed to the group which had conveyed away his comrade's remains. Ainsworth denied that a Hash of lightning, seen at the instant he fell, caused the. catastrophe. Tho jury, in Conway's case, returned a verdict of "Accident." The groat ocean liner rolled and pitched. ``Henry," faltered the young bride, "do you still love me?" "More than ever, darling," was Henry's fervent answer. Then there was an eloquent silence. "Henry," she gasped, turning her pale, ghastly face away, "I ,thought that would make me feel better, but ib dpesn't l" With Willie—"What is silence, fabler?

Slink 100 Years Ago in a British Warship. To the mouth of the River Colne, off Brightlingsoe, England, an ex- traordinary machine was towed and anchored the other clay. It is to be used in a final attempt to re- cover the $2,500,u00 treasure of gold, in eofns and bars, which is said to have gone down in the Brit- ish warship Lutine in 1707, near the Island of Terschslling, off the cost cE Holland, A portion of the treasure has been recovered, but an ordinary dredging plant is now useless, as the vessel has sunk into the sand. The new device is a great steel tube nearly 100 feet in length, and wide enough to allow a man to walk erect down its centre. At one end is a metal chamber provided with win- dows and doors, and at the other a medley of giant hooks and other tackle, The appartus has just been com- pleted, after years of work, by Messrs. Forrest and Co., shipbuild- ers, in their Wyvouhoe yard. "One end of the tube," explained a mem- ber of the firm, "will be clamped to the side of a steamship or barge. The other end, by means of water ballast tanks, will be sunk until it touches the bottom. 'Then, by means of compressed air, all the water will be forced from the chamber at the bottom of it, which will be flush upon the bed of the sea. 'Divers will walk down a stair- way in the centre of the tube until they reach the submerged chamber. Here they will don their diving cos- tumes, and, opening a series of watertight doors, will stop straight out into the water. Engineers will be stationed in the chamber, and following the instructions of the div- ers, who will communicate with them by moans of portable tele- phones, they will operate the mech- anism of two powerful suction pumps or dredges which are fitted to the sides of the tube. These dredgers, it is hoped, will suck away the sand around the sides of the heavy chamber until it gradu- ally sinks by its own weight right down on the dock of the wrecked slip. Then the divers, making' their way from the chamber to the deck of the ship, and thence to the hold, will be able to transfer thio treasure from the ship to the cham- ber by easy stages." , Houle Employment for Ladies LiCt4T, EASY, PLEASANT.

If only the subject could sleep, there would be oblivion for a while and temporary relief. Par - melee's Vegetable Pills will not only induce sleep, but will act so beneficially that the subject will wake refreshed and restored to hap- piness. ART NOTE.

These comes from stomachic baubles. The want of exercise brings ou nervous irregularities, and the stomach ceases to assimi- late food properly. In this condi- tion Parmelee's Vegetable Pills will he found a recuperative of rare power, restoring the organs to healthful action, dispelling depres- sion, and reviving the flagging en- ergies. NAILS MEND BROKEN' LIMBS. Frenah doctors have found an ingenious but simple remedy for fractures, in the use of aluminum nails. For a simple fracture of the shinbone, or of the thighbone, a nail of nickel aluminum or magna- slum is driven in to hold the two risers together. Nails of ivory and bone have been used but it has been discovered that the aluminum and magnesium nails are absorbed by the system after they have per- formed their function, Every time a man gives a 50 -cent present lie expects a dollar's worth r,f thanks.

AMERICA'S EX -CHAMPION WRESTLER SAYS: "After my great wrestling match with J Mellor, of Staleybridge, at the Crystal Palace, England, for the In- ternational Championship, I was covered with cuts and bruises. I ap- plied my favorite balm, Zara -Bok, and in a marvellously short time the abrasions and cuts were healed and I was fit and well again. At another time I had a piece of flesh almost torn completely off my arm above the elbow. I anticipated being un- able to do anything with the arm for a long time. To my delight, however, Zam-Buk closed up the Wound in two days. In three days it was covered with new skin, and a few days after, there was no trace of the injury. I recommend Zem-Buk for cuts, bruises or skin injuries of any kind. Yours truly, HUGH LANNON.

FLIES AS GERM ('AnRIERS, Therefore Keep Food Tinder Sereen in Darkness. Flies hate darkness, and have been shown by experiment to luse alt interest in even the most tempt - mg food if there is no light. Advantage }should be taketi of this characteristic of the fly, and the lender should be in such a location that the fond may be kept in dark- ucas besides being thoroughly pro- tected front ily contamination by the use of efficient fly screens: The normal health[ person rarely allows a fly to come into intimate contact with the easily infected nm00us membranes of his mouth,. nostrils or eyes, Su rt is by Lund con- temination that these germ -carri- ers do their greatest damage. We may not be public spirited enough to attempt in any practical way to prevent flies breeding in our stables, but since recent scientific investigations have proved the pos- sibilities of the fly es a disease car- rier the mere human instinct of eelf-pr'eser'vation should make us take every precaution to keep ex- isting flies from Ccnting into eon - tact with people suffering from germ diseases. A few shillings would pay for ser- viceable fly screens fur the typhoid patient's room and fur the kitchen and larder as well. Flies have been placed in a large sterile hell glass under which a small dish containing a gelatine culture of live typhoid bacilli has teen put. After waiting until the flies have walked about on the ty- phoid culture this has been gently withdrawn and a dish containing carefully sterilized gelating has. been inserted initsplace. After the flies had walked about on this ster- ile gelatine the dish was removed and put under conditions of mois- ture, temperature, etc., suitable to the growth and develapi tont of ty- phoid bacilli if any were present. Int a long series of such experiments in nearly all cases, bacilli grew and multiplied on the gelatine medium which had been quite sterile until contaminated by the Hies. Since we cannot hope absolute- ly to exterminate the species, a single member of which can carry enough bacteria to devastate an, army, precautions must be taken to keep the fly away from the sick asl much as possible—by means of fly' poison solutions and by screen, and also away from food. ,N c IN DOUBLE HARNESS. • Jack—"Surith asked Hie to come to his home this evening.

The Many Uses of a Good uewind Machine 4 There is practically no limit to the variety of work that cant he doa.e with a Singer Sewing Machine. Whether for the finest • embroidery, the plainest home sewing or the most elaborate tailoring, the Singer is equally efficient. 4 Every woman takes pride in having these things, but if they be her own .handiwork; the satisfaction is complete, because her own personality is reflected in every seam: S The woman who uses a Singer may have everything in needlework she can desire- she is better dressed at much less cost; her children are clothed according to her own taste and ideas; she has attractive table linen, and an unending supply of dainty underwear. g Moreover, she is free from the worrs/ and delay which always comes with the use of a "chem" machine.
