We have Eastcru robes, mantles and turbans; Persian and Chinese em- broideries enliven gowns old jack- ets; while bayadere jewelry, especi- ally bracelets ami necklaces of Hin- du origin, may be purchased at num- erous, shops specially dealing in those articles of adornment. It is always interesting to trace the origin of a popular fashion in Paris. The black and white satin tailor Costumes launched at the races have decidedly "caught on." Though these becoming gowns have been described hero, no mention has hitherto been made as regards the manner in which these "crea- tions" were conceived. A leading dressmaker, near the Opera, sent his mannequins to Longehamps wearing these black and white costumes in order to make a campaign against tho pan- nier. For let it be understood that the Louis XV. draperies have never boon introduced in tho coats and skirts that interest us- at present. Certain women of taste who had worn the pannier gown soon dis- carded it for the classical lines of the black -and -white tailor-made. These costumes are now worn by the smartest Parisiennes at bridge teas and all the afternoon recep- tions. Some of the best -dressed habitus i at the races rarely circulate among the crowd, They watch the pro- ceedings from their seats in the tri- bunes, These women are so quiet- ly attired that they would pass un- noticed among the brilliantly -ar- rayed foreigners who congregate along the graveled path and upon the grass. It is, however, in the private tri- bune, near the president of the re- public's pavillion, that one of the smartest toilettes of the day was recently noted. The dress was in black satin, buttoning down the front from the corsage to the feet. The back and the hips were veiled with a drapery of black chiffon, starting beneath a plaited waist- band and tasseled end of the same material. The satin bodice had white lace yoke and eollarband, and the long, tightfitting satin sleeves fell to the wrists. This charming model was repeated with a slight difference,in the arrangement of the waistband. In the latter ease this band was in satin with a plaited ruching in mous- seline de soie and the long end in the same chiffon. TO OFFSET SOCIALISM. Latest Move Made by Wealthy Classes in England, Alarmed by the growth of social- ' ism, both in the working classes and the intellectual products of the col- leges, prominent leaders in England are proclaiming war on the Red Filtg propagandists. Lady Jane Taylor, one of the best known of the aristocratic] women in London, is heading a Sunday School crusade against "the irreligion of social- ism," and personally conducts classes every Sunday. She is aided by many women of standing and unimpeachable lineage. Now Dr, David, president of the famous college at Rugby, declares there are many socialists graduat- ing from the big exclusive schools of England. P& Earl of Lytton says the same applies to Oxford and Cambridge. "`Young people," he says, "are peculiarly susceptible to the propaganda, of the day, which has an influence on awakening minds," Brash material for criticism in Lady Jane Taylor's movement is found in the growing practice in the northern 'city of Leeds of tak- ing babies to be n. amed by a local socialist alderman, instead, of by parson in ohurah. The socialise in question, Alder- man John Badlay, explains that the ceremony is no invention of his; it was instituted by the lake Charles Brarllaugth, the Epglish Ingersoll. "There is no mock religion about the ceremony," he adds. "It is perfectly harmless, and I do nob think it would offend the feelings of even the most sweep -bible, of churchmen, I simply. take the child from the parents, 'give it the first name which they wish it to bear, and formally welcome it into our socialist movement. The child thtis becomes associated with us in our work from its earliest years." But the clergy in the North of England declare atheism is extend- ing with alarming speed, in unison with the advance of socialism. A deceitful girl has the eomfert eeknowing she isn't more so to others than she is to herself, A Sunday-seheol teacher, after "telling his scholars the story of Ananias and Sapphire, aslced them: "Why is not everybody who tolls a lie strai\ dead l" After a long ei- leece one little fellow exelaibiiod: "Recalls( 'there wouldn't bo nobeftiy left" Fashion Hints INDIGESTION RIGHTLY CORED Ily Toning Up the Stomach to do the Work Nature Intends It Should. Indigestion should not be neglect- ed for a moment, for by depriving the body of its proper nourishment through the food, the trouble grows steadily worse. Neither should stimulating medicines, which ruin the already weak stomach by making it work beyond its strength, be used; nor pre-digested feeds, which do not excite a flow of the digestive fluids, and by disuse cause the stomach to grow weaker, No- where is the tonic treatment by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills more clearly useful. The principle of this treat- ment is to enable the stomach to do its own work by building up the blued and giving tone to the nerves. When these are ones restored to their normal health and indigestion disappears and the cure is perma- nent. Here is an experience with this treatment. Mr. John Brenen- stal, Calgary, Alta., says : "For years I was an almoner constant flut- terer from indigestion, and natur- ally because there was much nutri- tious food which I could not eat ow- ing to the pain and discomfort which followed, I was becoming much run down. I tried many medi- cines, but none of them helped me until I began the use of Dr. Wil - hares' Pink Pills. After taking a few boxes I was much better and in the course of a couple of months was quite well, and could eat any food set before me." If you are a sufferer from indi- gestion, or any trouble due to bad blood or weak nerves, you awn be- gin to cure yourself to -day by tak- ing Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.

Britain Could Not Fight Long, Sir William. Ramsay Says. Sir William Ramsay has drawn attention to the fact that in case of war Great Britain would soon be brought to an absolute standstill for want of ammunition. At the an- nual meeting of the Brutish Science Guild ho pointed out that there is in Great Britain no supply of nitrie acid, which is of absolute necessity for the manufacture of explosives. "England," he says, "relies on the importation of nitrate of soda from Chile and Peru. In a state of war this supply would cease. For- eign ehips would intercept the car- goes and a dearth of nitrate would follow." This, Sir William declared, was "a terrible danger," which should be impressed upon the Govern- ment. "At present," he wont on, "we could not carry on war for any length of time, for wo should have no explosives, Practically every other country manufactures nit- rates from the wbmosphere. Whe- ther this pays or not is a matter of secondary Smportaneel and until some steps are taken in this come try we are standing on the edge offt precipice." Scandinavia, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Russia possess factories for preparing nitrates from the atmosphere large- ly for the purposes of agriculture, but also for the making of explo- sives. Sir William Ramsay advo- cates the establishment of such fac- tories in Groat Britain for extract- ing the nitrogen from the air by electricity. in the Oro'ar,'th f Corn there'sa period when the kernels are plumped out with a vegetable milk, mop nutri- tiouls.

Not a Food, but Essential Elements in the Diet. The apices, are a very interesting group of substances; they. are the foundation of a considerable indus- try, they have their medical uses and finally are of .apeoial importance in dietetics, says the London Lan- cet. Their value resides in their rich- ness in aromatic substances and es- sential oils; strictly speaking, they are not foods, but often enough they are essential elements in the diet, Spines have been the subject of classic research, as, for example, in the clever and important inves- tigation which Pawlow undertook as to the psychic influences of food and as to the value of zest in nutri- tion. Spices were shown to arouse ap- petite and to promote the secretion of the gastric Juice, and the role they play therefore in diabetics is a very important one. The medicinal action of some of them is further of value. Allspice, for example, is used as an aronvitic and lits been successfully administered for flwtu- leney or for overcoming griping duo to .purgatives, and occasionally it is reported that the oil gives relief in rheumatism and neuralgia. The medicaluses of cinnamon are well known. Cardamoms are used in the form of a tincture as aroma - 'tic and stomachic and they are also employed • as a flavoring agent in curry powder, cakes and liqueurs. The application of capsicum and the peppers generally are well known. Cloves are aromatic, car- minative and stimulant and have been used in dyspepsia, gastric irri- tation and in cases of vomiting in pregnancy. Oil of cloves is also a popular remedy for toothache. It has also its uses in microscopy as a preser- vative and for clearing sections. The uses of nutmeg are wide, van- illa has an enormous application as a flavoring agent, while turmeric enjoys a similar patronage on ac- count of its bright yellow color and pleasant musky flavor. NO MORE CASTOR OIL. Mrs. Effie Russell, Granum, Alta., says: "T have used Baby's Own Tablets in place of castor oil and now it is no more oil. I could not do without the Tablets; they are wonderful. Whenever baby is feverish I give him the Tablets and the fever soon ?disappears, I al- ways keep them in the house and recommend them to my friends." Baby's Own Tablets do not gripe. They are easy to take and absollhte- ly safe. They are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co„ Brockville, Ont. Mrs. Smart—"So these are the china bargains you advertised?" Olerk—"Yes, ma'am; and they're going far little or nothing." Mrs. Smart—"All right. I'll take that blue -bordered dish for nothing. Dr. J. D. Kellogg's Dysentery Cordial is prepared from drugs known to the profession as thor- oughly reliable for the cure of uh,;lera, dysentery, diarrhoea, griping pains and summer com- plaints.

The Journal des Debats, of Paris,. asks what- have been the expenses to date of the two belligerents ;n the Tureo-Italian War. It con- cludes, on the basis of the, prevalent estimates on the Paris market, that Turkey has been spending less than one-fourth as much as Italy, These estimates, in American values, are $2,000,000 per month for Turkey and $9,000,000 per month for Italy, the latter average having been much increased when Italy's 120,000 soldiers were being trans- ported Ito Tripoli. Since the war has now lasted about eight months, the total military outlay should, on this estimate, have been $15,000,000 for Turkey, and upward of $72,000,- 000 for Italy. Italy raised the necessary money by selling treasury bonds; Turkey, by borrowing $7,500,000 from the Ottoman Bank, with the under- standing that the obligations are to be converted into a $50,000,000 fix- ed loan, to be issued on the return of peace and to be secured by cer- tain Customs receipts, As medern wars go, this has been to relatively cheap one. As against Italy's esti- mated daily average outlay of 8200,- 000, the Boer War oust England $1,000,000 per day for two and a half years(,� and the Manchurian War cost Rustle and Japan about $1,600,000 per day apiece during a year and a half of fighting.

A Cure for Rheumatism.—A pain. ful and persistent form of rheuma- tism is caused by impurities in the blood, the result of defective ac- tion of the liver and kidneys.
