Overskirts of soft material are modish and are here to stay. Flowered muslin siulbonnebs have favor for wanner wear. Valenciennes lace, real and finite, tion, is in demand once more. Oluny lace is as great a favorite OA it was a season or two ago, The amethyst stones, from deep to light, are in the, height of fashion, -. Folds and fiches ever the should ers are quite a feature of the sums mer evening dresses. All of the new outing hats, as well' as the finer straws, show a decided roll at the brim. The scarf which matches the gown is becoming one of the familiar features for the light wrap. Foulard facing for the smart revers sounds a new note in tailor- ing and dress combinations. Linen and pique outinghats, trim- med with a severe band of patent leather, are popular. In millinery there is a decided taste for the combinaton of black and dark, purplish blue. Smart hats continue to be huge in size, but they have improved in line with the advance o1 summer. Next to the popular amethyst colorings, the favorite of Paris just now is a faded light green. White wash braid with a dash of Colors an exceedingly pretty trim- ming for a young girl's wash dress, Morning robes and tea gowns are appearing without sleeves, except as they are made of contrasting material. Tho parasol matches the color of the gown with which it is carried, or else it tones with the aaeessories, which at present include the gloves. Slippers and boots are being made of bengaline to match gowns, and also of oravenetta. Cravenette !foots have often bengaline tops of the same color. Collarless gowns will never re•• main in favor for oity wear, but the ashion is a, delightfully comfortable o e and becoming to the majority of oung girls. T hats of the day give a "little girl" look to the debutante, be- eause they are worn so low on the head that all or nearly all of the hair is hidden. For fashionable restaurant wear Paris is bringing out a good many shapes that border on the Gains- borough style in colored straw, trimmed with feathers. A DOG EXPLORER. Fax Terrier Travelled With His Master Over 10,000 llliles. A'wonderful record as a traveler has been achieved by Dash, the smooth -haired fox terrier, which accompanied Dr. M. A. Stein, the archaeological explorer, through- out his great journey of 10,000 miles, undertaken on behalf of the Indian Government throughout Central Asia into China and back. Though the aggregate of the marches amounted roughly to. 101000 miles in two years and eight months, the actual distance cover- ed by Dash, taking into account his canine habits of progression, may be estimated at well over 20,000 miles. Dash made that journey on foot practically the whole way, ex- cept when he went "pony back" for short distances at times of great heat. When in she Takiamaken desert, Dash, like the rest of the party, had his water allowance strictly limited. It came from the supply carried on camels in the form of ice. Dash went over mountain passes as high as 18,000 feet above sea level. Throughout the journey the dog kept well, and his menu was made up of scraps from the camp larder. Each night he slept in Dr. Stein's tent, and on • occasions proved himself a very useful watch- dog. On the high Tibetan uplands his chief recreationwas chasing wild donkeys, yaks, and the like, he managed to kill several hares and bring them in to supplement •the store of food. Upon many journeys along the Indian northwest frontier Dash has also been the comrade of his master, 'and he has probably seen far more of the world than most people, He has true British terrier blood in his veins, although India was his birthplace. The dog is now in quarantine ,after having come from India, .An Irish recruit was once brought ep for breaking into barracks --- that is, getting over the wall in- stead of entering by the gate. "But Murphy," said the officer, "though you were late, you should bare come in by the gate.'' "Piaiso, epii honor," said Murphy, "I' was afraid of waking the en- tre."

I'Iealthy girlhood is the only path tv healthy wonianhood, The merg- ing of 'girlhood into womanhood' lays a new tax upon the blood. It ie the ever'taxing of the soanty blood supply that makes growing girls suites item all those headaches, backaches and sideacbes—all that paleness, weakness and weariness— all that languor, despondency and constant ill health, Unhealthy girlhood is bound .to lead to unhealthy` womanhood and a life of misery. Nothing but the blood -building qualities of Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills can save a girl when slie undertakes the trials and tasks of womanhood. That is the time when nature snakes new de- mands upon the blood supply, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills actually make new, rich blood, whioh,meets those new demands with ease, In this simple scientific way Dr. Williams' Pink Pills fill a girl with overflow- ing health and strength. Miss Eva Dennis, Amherst, N. S. says :—"Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have done me a world of good. I was completely run down, was very pale, easily tired and suffered from frequent severe headaches. Though I tried many '-medicines I got nothing to do me the least good until I began using Dr, Williams' Pink Pills. Even the first box of these seemed .to help me, and after taking a half dozen boxes I was again a strong, healthy girl. I have not had any illness since, but should I again feel run down Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will be my only medicine, and I strongly 1'e - commend them to every weak and ailing girl. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all medicine dealers or sent by mall at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2,50 by Tho Dr. Williams' Me- dicine Co., Brockville, Ont. BUDDHIST TEaaIPLE BURNED. Beggar Built Fire for Warmth in Temple at Tokio. Zojoji, the famous Buddhist tem- ple, situated in Shiba Park, Tokio, has been completely destroyed by fire, the] damage amounting to. about 400,000 yen. A beggar was in the habit of sleeping in a hole underneath the floor of the temple, lacking a better home. The night of the fire was cold, and the unfor- tunate man has confessed that he lit a newspitper...and piled some pieces of wood around it for warmth and overcome by sleep, woke to find the place in flames.. Only those who know the pride of the Japanese in their temples can con- ceive the effect of this irreparable loss on the people, not only of the immediate community, but practi• cally throughout Japan. The Zojoji temple, next to the great temples at Nikko, was probably the most. famous and popular as a show tem- ple in Japan. A GREAT BANK. The far-seeing advocates of Ca- nadian Union probably hardly rea- lized half a century ago what a service they were rendering to. Canada's future in starting forth the young united Dominion with the foundation of a flanking System which has been developed into the greatest in the world with no ex- ceptions. The System .bas faults, but these are more academic than practical, and if past progress is any criterion the faults that now exist will disappear in the future. The services which our banking System has rendered to the Domin- ion as a whole, and to individual Canadians, should be more thor- oughly appreciated by the Canadian people. One of the strongest units in our Banking System is the Dominion Bank, which presented its semi-an- nual statement to the public a few days ago. Despite the fact that this statement covered a period, part of which was characterized by ex - trema financial stress and the bal- ance by very low money rates, the profits of this great Institution for the half year, although some Four- teen Thousand Dollars less than the previous half year, are still at the rate of 1514 p. c. The circulation has increased about a quarter of a million dollars; deposits have in- creased nearly six million and have now reached the total of over forty- one millions; cash assets show an increase of nearly one and it half million, and the immediate avail- able assets ani increase of nearly six million with an increase of about the same amount in the total assets, which now total fifty-three and a half millions, This is a most satisfactory state- ment, and one on which the share- holders may congratulate them- selves heartily, reflecting, as it does, most careful and progressive ttiauagement, It is said that all dogs in Peru, have the Peruvian bark.

Eleven bat- tleships should, therefore, be de- ducted from the British total as unable to take part in hostilities. As no similar deductions have to be made from foreign fleets, the ac- tual force in battleships built and building stands as follows: Britain, 48; Germany, 42; U.S.A., 32; Italy, 11 ; Japan, 18; France, 24, Again, whereas all the German destroyers but one have been launched in the last ten years, ninety of the British destroyers were launched in or before 1898; and are therefore obsolescent, as the ef- fective life of a destroyer is only ten years. The actual British figure for efficient destroyers, built and building, is therefore only 85 to the German 96. d• LAKE HURON AND LAKE. SUPERIOR. A magnificent summer trip is en- joyed by taking this "fresh' water sea voyage" from Sarnia, Ontario, to Fort William, Ontario, through these great inland seas. This year new steamers have been added to the Northern Navigation Co.'s fleet, and the finest and fastest ves- sels on the Great Lakes will fly the house flag of this popular Company. The steamers run in connection with the Grand Trunk Railway System, and all particulars, rates and desoripttive literature, etc., can be had for the asking by ap- plying to Mr. J. D. McDonald. SHOULD TAKE HIS MEDICINE. "A feller shouldn't stand in the middle of the street to talk pessim- ism," declared the Plunkville phil- osopher. "Why not?" "Fest he says life ain't worth living, and then jumps when he hears an automobile honk." Regarded as one of the most po- tent compounds ever introduced with which to combat all summer complaints and inflammation of the bowels, Dr. J. D. Keliog's Dysen- tery Cordial has won for itself a reputation that no other cordial for the purpose can aspire to. For young and old suffering from these complaints it is the best medicine that can be procured. JAPAN'S TELEGRAMS. At the beginning of the present year Japan had 3,308 telegraph offices and the lines were 6,387 miles long, with a total length of wire 92,227 miles. , Nearly 8,000,- 000 telegrams were handled during the year, A Demean: Eye Remedy. bfeline Affords Reliable Relief to.

"So Cayuso Charley met his fate at the hands of a posse?" , "Yep," answered Three -finger Sam. "What was the trouble?" "His immejit difficulty was a lack of judgment as to speed, He helped himself to a horse, but didn't pick one that .was fast enough to keep ahead of the party as went after him." A HIELPING HAND. "Excuse me, sir," said the senior clerk as he entered the office of the boss, "but, having grown gray in your service, don't you think I ought to have something added to my salary ?" "I do," answered the boss as he reached into his pocket' and drew forth a dollar. "Take this and got yourself ,bottle of hair dyea'5 VEST SAFE BoNDS, P. Burns 4 Company, Limited, whose Frst Mortgage bonds are new being offered for sale' in Canada, ere large remitters, packers and distributors of peeking house pro - dilate, with head Office at Calgary, Alberta. In addition to abattoirs, peeking houses and yards at 0a1. gary, Alberta, and Vancouver, 13. C,, the P, Burns Company con- trols sixty-two stores in the most important cities and towns of Al- berta, and British Columbia. This business, founded in 1890, has shared in the wonderful de- velopment of Western Canada, and has established itself on a strong financial basis, earning net in 1908 $317,860 or five times the amount required' to pay the interest on its First Mortgage bonds. According to appraisals made by responsible parties the real estate owned by the Company, which hay a ready market value, is worth con- siderably more than the amount of the present bond issue. The bonds are further strengthen- ed by the fact that the surplus as- sets after deducting all liabilities almost equal in amount the pre- sent outstanding issue. During the present year many issues of the obligations of import- ant packing houses have attested their growing popularity as invest- ments in Canada and United States. From the standpoint of se- curity the Burns issue is undoubted while the return to the investor (6 per cent.) is attractive, e` FINAL GAME. "England invests in two .warships. for every one that her neighbors buy," "That's the way my wife likes to invest in new gowns." The Bowels Must Act Healthily. -In most ailments the first care of the medical man is to see that the bowels are open and fully perform- ing their functions. Parmelee's. Vegetable Pills are so compounded that certain ingredients in them act on the bowels solely and they are the very best medicine available to produce healthy action of the bow- els. Indeed, there is no other speci- fic so serviceable in keeping the digestive organs in healthful ac- tion. OUR WONDERFUL LANGUAGE. "A. premeditated, concocted, fab- ricated, false, malicious, unclean untruth," was a witness' ascription of a statement made in court re- cently. It is an undisputed fact that one packet of Wilson's Fly Pads has actually killed a bushel of house flies. Fortunately no such Quantity can ever be found in a well kept house, but whether they be few or many Wilson's Fly Pads will kill them all. Mrs. Jones : "Did you really ex- pect me to accept you the night you proposed?" Mr. Jones: "Yes, love. Just before 'I got to your house I heard a dog howl three times, saw the moon over my shoulder, and walked under a lad- der." IN HOT COUNTRIES Painkiller finds many uses. Colic, ornmps, diarrhoea and all suchtroubles.roadily give way to its USO. Dose, one teaspoonful, in hot water. Avoid substitutes, there is but one "Pain. killer "—Perry Davis'— 25o. and 65o. Wife: "Billy, dear, I stitched up the hole in your trousers' pocket last night after you had gone to bed. Now, ala I nob a thoughtful little wife?" Husband: "11'm; how did yon know there was a hole in my pocket?" If your children moan and are restless during sleep, coupled, when awake, with a loss of appe- tite, pale countenance, picking of the nose, etc., you may depend up- on it that the primary cause of the trouble is worms. Mother Graves' Worm Exterminator effectually re- moves these pests, at once reliev- ing the little sufferers. STRANGE.

One reason why there are so many failures in the world is be- cause there are so many men who are punctual only at quitting time. An Easy Pill to Take.—Some per- sons have repugnance to pills be- cause of their nauseating taste. Parmelee'e Vegetable Pills are so Xrepared as to make them agree- able to the most fastidious. The most delicate can take them with- out feeling the revulsion that fol- lows the taldng of ordinary pills. This is one reason for the popular- ity of these celebrated pills, but the main reason is their high toni- cal quality as a medicine for the stomach. THE SECRET OF HAPPINESS. The secret of martial happiness is not always in letting a woman have her own way, but in letting her know that you know that she's get- ting it. Practically all Canadian drug- gists, grocers and general dealers sell Wilson's Fly Pads. I£ your storekeeper does not, ask him why. HIS IMPORTANT. SERVICE. One of the greatest nuisances of travelling is tipping. A smile from a, head waiter is a costly commodi- ty, and no menial service is too small for remuneration. An un- usually ingenious plea for a tip is that of a small Hibernian, mention- ed by Mr. John Augustus O'Shea in "Roundabout Recollections." The author was travelling in Ireland. I drove down to the station on the faint chance of catching the train to Dublin. When I got out of the cab at the station a bright - faced boy accosted me. "Ah, sure sir, you've just missed the train," he said. It was true. I hooked nay luggage and ascertained when the next train would leave. While I was waiting, the lad came up to me and asked me for a tip. "What for?" I asked. "Sure, sir, I told you' that you were too late," be . unblushingly responded. There is Only One Eelectrie Oil. —When an article, be it medicine or anything else? becomes popular, imitations invariably spring up to derive advantages, from the origiu- al, which they themselves could never win on their merits. Imi- tations of Dr. Thomas' Eclectric Oil have been numerous, but never successful. Those who know the genuine are not put off wits a sub- stitute, but demand the real thing. BRITISH NAVY SUPPEMACY•, Brinell naval supremacy is avid .to date from the time of Alfred the Great, who .claimed and enforeed for hagfish ships of war the right to be saluted first. Through the following centuries this claim was continuously disputed and objeeted to until 1673, when the Dutch agreed to strike their colors to the English in British waters. Tbongh the same honor had long been exacted from French vessels, France formally agreed to the same recognition in 1704, Nothing looks more ugly than to see a person whose hands are cover- ed over with warts. 'Why have these disfigurements on your per- son when a sure remover of all warts, corns, etc„ can be found in Holloway's Corn Ouse. The wise man keeps his temper even when he is getting the worst of it, If every housekeeper would use Wilson's Fly Pads freely dui- ,,g the Summer months the house Sy peril would soon be a thing of the past. THE EXTREME CASE. "He's an obstinate man, isn't he?" "Yes; he even goes to the extent of answering dogmatic questions categorically."
