Belts are somewhat narrower than in the summer. Marten and black fox are the fav- erite small furs, Ottoman hats are more to the front than in years. Collars are offered to match plu- mage covered hats. Witli colored shoes there must be stockings to maton, Braid and covered buttons are favorites for trimming. Most walking hats are turned up cn the left side only. The plaited braid belt is one of the season's novelties. Simplicity will be the slogan of the winter's millinery. Plaids are much worn and form some of the smartest fall suits. Long sleeves are invariable with the new tailored shirtwaists. Most of the new coats are per- fectly straight all around the lower edge. The blouse that matches the suit bas to some extent, replaced the Separate blouse. Shoes with patent leather vamps end cloth tops will figure promin- ently this winter. Velvet and silk dahlias, in both natural and fancy colors, arc seen cn many smart hats. Felt is seen occasionally in hats, but is by no means so prominent as satin, ottoman, and cloth. Some of the ostrich plumes on the larger hats are immense, but they are mostly used in medium lengths. New fancy plaids include such combinations as browns and greens, deep peacock blues and slaty grays. Party frocks for small girls are made with puffed sleeves and low necks, which droop over the shoul- der. The fiche effect is employed exten- sively in the development of the hack of the elaborate empire gowns. Various shades of brown and green hose are being shown for wear with heavy fall tan oxford ties. Turbans range in size from medi- um to very large. The box shapes, with protruding crowns, aro most in favor. Latest tailor made coats have frilled sleeves and a finely plaited frill is the most piquant addition to the upturned cuff. Khaki, buff, suede, ac ad all tones cf yellow are in vogue in the late fiats, their brazenness being gener- ally toned with other. colors. Small hats are few, and those that find favor at all have high crowns and narrow mushroom brims, simi- lar to those of last spring. While all other colors come and go, the navy blue suit of tailored finish renains as a standard, and the -girl who wears it nearly always - looks well dressed. Many shortwaist sleeves are but- tcned from shoulder to waist—not altogether for ornamental purpos• -ea, but largely because the buttons make the long sleeve much easier of adjustment. Dull shades, such as wisteria and eggplant, are favorites in the sea- son's cloaks, and though the gar- ments are highly elaborate in de- signs, not a great deal of trimming rs favored. Silk, net, and several different kinds of laces are freely mingled in blouses, the fancy for mingling dif- ferent materials which prevailed last year being not at all diminish - NI. In some of the new "over all" dresses for children the skirt is gored to fit the yoke instead of be- ing gathered into it, and the result is fully worth the extra trouble in cutting and fitting. Nearly every scheme in millinery for the autumn has its beginning and its ending in ribbon. Soft sat- in ribbon is the favorite, and hats have been seen that carried as 5nucli as nine yards of it.

Gananoque, Ont., Oct. 19 (Speci- e1),—That Rheumatism can he cured surely, simply and permanently 's the good news that Hugh Aberne- thy, a well-known resident of King Street, is spreading among his neighbors. I had suffered from Rheumatism'. and stiffness of the joints," Mr. Abernethy states. "My muscles would cramp. I could not sleep, and I had terrible headaches. I teak many different medicines, but nothing did me any good till I tried Dodd's Kidney Pills. Six boxes put me on my feet again." Others who have taken Mr, Ab- nerthy's advice and used Dodd's Kidney Pills are also load in their praises of the old reliable Canadian Kidney remedy. For Dodd's Kid- ney Pills cure Rheumatism and other blood diseases by curing the Kidneys. Sound Kidneys keep the blood free from' impurities. And with no impurities, such as uric acid in the blood, you cannot have such painful and dangerous diseas- es as Pain in the Back, Rheuma- tism, Lumbago, Neuralgia, and Heart Disease. Keep your Kidneys strong and well with Dodd's Kidney Pills and sou can face the cold, wet days of fall without a fear of Rheumatism. THERE IS NOTHING NEW 3I0DERN INVENTIONS ARE MERELY REDISCOVERIES. Egyptians Probably Used the Tele- phone -- Gunpowder Was Iinoll'n to Hannibal. A little more than one hundred years ago the celebrated French. scientist Menge, who accompanied Bonaparte to Egypt, was consider- ably puzzled by the discovery in the Temple of Mchmet Abn, in Upper Egypt, of coils of wiring which ley —and had probably been lying for ages—in a small stone chamber, and, tangled among them, several ivory and bone objects, which re- sembled our common drinking horns. On arrival at the Pyramid of Gizeh he discovered in a -vault of about the same dimensions more coils of wiring matter, with similar ivory and bene horns. The tele- phone was then undiscovered, and, naturally enough, Menge did not understand the nature of leis dis- covery, which has since, says M. Paeory, been shown to have been nothing else but a primitive 'phone. The instrument is said to have been in use in the days of the Pharaohs. It was naturally a very simple contrivance -much resemb- ling our toy telephones—and did not cover a distance greater than two Cr three miles. Tacitus tells us that when Antony went ashore after the battle of Actium he was aceompani- cl only by a captain of his guard. Since all others had deserted him., it is not unlikely, says the French- man, that he telephoned to the fair daughter of the Pharoahs asking Ler to tomo and comfort kiln in Ins last agony. GUNPOWDER. AND OKOOS. We are accustomed to consider that Roger Bacon, the thirteenth century plonk, did a very important bit of work when ho invented gun- powder, which in its first form was a dangerous explosive very like dy- namite. Well, nuc, if you will just look up a reliable history of the great Hannibal, you will find that hts he mule, his way over the Pyra- r.ces and the ;lips, on the march up 11010 southern Spain, before he en- tered Italy, he was enabled to ex- pedite tho passage over boulder - 1 cued mountain fastnesses by the use of an explosive which was. known as oxoos.

Its edi- tor may or may not have been de- seended from the great classic Ana- mas. But there can be en possible doubt whatever of the quality of his nose for news, Proof ; he tells in his "valuable paper" of the ar- rival in port from a voyage to the South Seas of a certain ship's cap- tain, by name Vasterloch. Capt. 1 asterloch was pregnant with a wondrous tale. Ile solemnly declar- ed to the star reporter of the "Courrier Veritable" that on a certain island in Polynesia, which he was then exploring in the inter- ests of geographical science and personal plunder, he discovered a peculiar kind of sponge which was capable of retaining words spoken into it by the human voice and of omitting the same when squeezed. It was Ins custom, he further swore, when his exploring parties were in different parts of the island, to eon- s ey messages of instruction to them by means of the marvellous talking sponge. M. Pacory is far from seeking to justify Munchausenism of any sort. He points out, however, with 001210 cogency that Pascal once observed that man had invented few things of which germinal analogies (which really had afforded him the idea) did not already exist in nature, a remark which has also been credit- ed to the late Lord Kelvin. THE ROMAN REPORTER.. You know, of course, that the art if printing was familiar to the Chi- nese, whose great journal, the Pe- kin Gazette, was in existence sev- eral hundreds of years at least be- fore the birth of Christ. The sheet was at first printed on silk with a clumsy, movable type, hardly, if at all, inferior to the type used by Franklin 120 years ago in Philadel- phia. It is perhaps not so well known, however, that the reporter was as familiar a mortal in Rome as he has since become upon the face of the globe. For the Roman he was the parasite or the guid- ramc, and was a frequent and not unwelcome guest at the table of men like Marcus Crassus, the great trust magnate of his day, or even at Cicero's philosophic banquets. 1- MOTHERS FEEL SAFE. Mothers who have used Baby's Own Tablets for their little ones say they feel safe, with the Tablets at hand, for they are a never fail- ing cure for all the minor ills of babyhood and childhood. Mrs. Urias Crossman, New Hamburg, Ont., says: "I have used Baby's Own Tablets for stomach trouble and constipation with marked suc- cess. I always feel that my little one is safe when I have a box of the Tablets in the house." Baby's Own Tablets are sold under the guarantee of a Government ana- lyst to contain neither opiates nor other poisonous drugs. They al- ways do good—they can't possibly do harm.

WHAT NAVAL GUNNERY COSTS Target practice in the British Navy is an expensive necessity. Every time a 12 inch gun is fired bang goes $150 of the taxpayers' money; a 9.2 inch gun fires a cor- dite cartridge which costs $70; and even the 6 inch gun, which is a modest weapon, uses a $13 charge, Shells run from $02.50 to $17.50 for the common varieties, though ar- mor-piereing ones (not used in the ordinary competitions, of course) may cost as much as $130. Then there is the wear and tear of the guns to consider, and this may be reckoned as expensive, seeing that the "life" of each weapon is brief; and while a 6 inch gun costs $8,360, a 9.2 inch runs to $23,250, and a wire -bound 12 inch means an ex- penditure of quite $50,000. Repeat it: —"Shiloh's Cure will always cure my coughs and colds." He—"So your father thought I wanted to marry you for your money. What did you say?" She —"I persuaded him that you didn't and then i ie' said if that was the case, you didn't have any sense!"

If all the condensed moisture of the atmosphere were to fall as rain and none of it was snow, hundreds of thousands of square miles of the earth's surface now yielding boun- tiful crops would 'be little better than a desert. The tremendous euonomic gain for the World at large which results from the difference between snow and rain is acidosis realized by the inhabitants of fer- tile and well watered lowlands, says a writer in the Chicago Tri- bune, It is the extensive regions where irrigation is a prime necessity in agriculture that the special uses of snow come chiefly into view. All through the winter the snow is fal- ling upon the mountains and pack- ing itself firmly in the ravines. Thus in nature's great icehouse a supply of moisture is stored up for the following summer. All through the warm months the hardened snowbanks are melting gradually. In trickling streams they steadily feed rivers which as they flow through the valleys are utiliz- ed for irrigation. If this moisture fell as rain it would almost immedi- ately wash down through the riv- ers, which would hardly be fed at a1.1 in the summer when the crops moat needed water. These facts are so well known as to be commonplace in the Salt Lake valley and in the subarid regions of the west generally. PILES CURED AT HOME By Now Absorption Diethod.

Singer results tell the story of Singer success. t;f The best way to prove the superiority of the Singer is to try it—try it in your own home—test it by the most difficult work you know. ei But you may say "a cheap machine will do all this." Perhaps it will to-day—but how about a year from now P Q The Singer lasts a lifetine.
