There is a new "hair lace" which In first cousn to the favorite sha- dow lace of this season. Fur collars on the now coats are tippet shaped. The shade of lace,known as ficelle is most in favor. Tailored octets have lost' entirely the ungraceful hex effect. The new double sleeves are ex- ceedingly picturesque. A superb wrap is of raven blue velbet broehe on a black satin ground. The Japanese note will be strong in evening gowns this winter. There is a new tone of blue, bright and clear, the bleu Vierge. Pearl embroideries are to be in vogue; so are jot embroideries. Beware of the Robespierre col- lar unless you have a long and pretty neck. Dull, unpolished glove kid is the precisely right thing for the new low walking shoes. Marie Stuart effects in collars are much used in Paris. They are carried out in velvet, satin, fur, and plaited Lace. Some evening gowns have the big Japanece bow at the waist, with draped folds of soft tissues envel- oping the figure below. The new tunics, which are open at the front and are draped at each aide, have the plasant trick of ad- ding to the height. Cerise satin is distinctly one of the loveliest fabrics. It is infinite- ly becoming. It seems to freshen and soften the coloring of the wear- er, and it is a color much in fash- ion now. One of the most charming of au- tumn hats is a swathed toque of white velvet with black paradise waving from its top. White satin hats are very smart. They are trimmed with flat bows of black velvet or aigrettes. Shaggy felt hats in beige and natural tones are immensely stylish worn with tailored suits. The new tailored suits have a military appearance with their tail coated boleros and nut up skirts. The gap in the fall coats or little vests is prettily filled in with double and triple ruffles of shadow net, deep Valenciennes, and plain tulle. New colors are mulberry red, vieux rouge, bright cherry, pink, and Veronese green, Hussar, vieux blue, and Rembrandt blue. The most striking ornament in millinery this season is a jet orna- ment in the shape of a double bow with the bow ends outlined with a fringe of paradise. Ivory white and corn colored suits are worn with brilliant colored silk crocheted vests. These vests are most effective, and appear in bright blue, red, violet, or green, and or gold. They have crystal and me- tal buttons and open at the neck to display a double jabot of ruffled lace. VALUABLE STREET DUST. Yield of Bucket of Bead Scrapings in African Town. Travellers assure us that at Axim, on the Gold Coast of Africa, gold may be picked up on the streets. One Briton naturally thought of this as a mere figure of epeeoh, but his informant immediately bade a woman servant to go into the main street, gadiher a bucketful of road scrapings, and work it for geld dust. In ten minutes, according to this eccoent, the servant returned with two galvanized iron buckets, one filled with road scrapings an the other with water. She also brought three or four wooden plat - tens varying in size from a large plate to a saucer. Removing several handfuls of the road scrapings and placing them in the largest platter, the woman picked out and threw aside the large stones, pebbles and bits of stick and loosened the remainder by sprinkling it with water from the other bucket. 'phis enabled her to remove further refuse. The residuuan was put into the text smaller platter and the pro- cess repeated until there was a quantity of uniform stuff ready for treatment. This elle sprinkled free- ly with water, and by a deft circu- lar movement of the platter brought the small gravel outward where it eould be thrust: over the edge. When this operation had been re- peated three or four times the stuff, which now. Looked more like mud than anything else, was ready foe treatment in a smaller platter. Here the same circular movements resulted in the discarding of fur- ther undesirable elements. At last, in the smallest platter, the stuff had resolveditself into a small quantity of black sand. This was carefully washed and sifted)* the chid of eireeliur movements, and at lett a dexterous Joist brought the sand into a crescent on the plat. ter, when there appeared on the outmost edge n thin gold rim, This was unmistakably gold. The whole operation had cosstnnod hall . an Rene, and the result was abqut a shillings worth of gold duds[. 'KEEP CHILDREN WELL DURING HOT WEATHER Every mother knows how fatal the hot summer mouths are to small 'children. Cholera infantum, diarrhoea, dysentry and stn -web troubles are rife at this time and often a precious little life is lost after only a few hours illness. The mother who keeps Baby's Own Tab- lets in the house feels safe. The occasional use of the Tablets pre- vent stomach and bowel troubles, or if the trouble comes suddenly— as it generally does—the 'Tablets will bring the baby safely through. The Tablets . are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co,, Brockville, Ont. BUILDING TILE "IGLOO." Vow the Eskimos Erect a Snow House in Labrador. Only one thing, the assurance of a night's shelter of comparative comfort, makes a winter's sledge journey across the desolate, inter- minable wastes of Labrador bear- able. The method of securing this shelter is described by Dr. S. K. Hutton in "Among [the Eslcimos of Labrador," "What will you do if you cannot reach theme'?" I asked Johannes, one afternoon, as we labored through the drifting -snow, in tile• teeth of an arctic storm. "Stop and build a anew house," said he. "Will you be able to fond good snow in this weather?" "Find good snow?" said Johan- nes, with a look of surprise. "I oan always find: good snow." When the afternoon light began to grow dull, he pulled out one of the big snow -knives, an appalluig weapon., with a bone handle and a blade a yard long Brandishing this, he trotted from side to side, prodding here and jabbing there. He was "finding snow." Soon Jul- ius stepped the sledge, and they held a consultation When the place wee chosen, it was a gently sloping (hillside, for there the snow hardens the best,— my drivers wets soon at work. Each man armed himself with his huge enow-knife, and between them they marked a circle on the snow. Then Johannes• retired to the middle and began to dig. He first made a wedge-shaped hole, to give himself a start; and then from the sides of the hole he carved great slabs of the frozen snow. I judged them to be about six or eight inches thick, two or three feet long and eighteen inches high. and they were 'nearly as heavy as stone: Johannes just tumbled them out of his hole as fast as he could cut them, and as the bola grew I saw that the atabs were all slightly curved. Julius seiz'ed each slab as it toppled out, and earned it gin- gerly to the edge of the circle. Ile set the slabs on edge, side by side, and ohipped them a little from the top, so that they leaned inward. He pared away the first few with his knife, so that the lowest ring formed the beginning of a spiral. He followed the spiral up, prop- ping each slab against its- neigh- bor, and chipping its edge so that it leaned well inward. • Meanwhile Johannes got nearer and nearer the wall with his dig- ging, and his' work •got herder and harder, for instead of tumbling the slabs out. he had to pick them up .and hand them to Julius over the leaning wall. I thought the well looked frail and unsafe, but Julius seemed to think otherwise, for he crawled up on it and leaned over to see how Johannes was getting on inside: As a matter of fact, his Soap ointment No other emollients do so mtich for pimples, blackheads, red, rough and oily skin, itching, scaly scalps, dry, thin and falling Bair, chapped hands and shapeless nails.

At last the spiral was finished 41 but the "keystone." Julius'"spnawb- ed on the side of the shouse, while Johannes's hands shoved a big slab through the opening that still re- mained at the top. Julius laid it over the hole, and chipped the edges away with his knife until it gently dropped into place. A scraping and trampling noise wag next heard inside the house; that was Johannes smoothing the floor. Meanwhile, Julius was filling all the crevices with snow, to keep the wind out. Soon Johannes was ready to come Opt. His sword poked out suddenly and slashed a doorway in the wall, and then the man himself crawled out. The house was finished. 11 SIR HUGH 1UON'I'AGUE ALLAN, Who has retired from the director- ate of the Allan Steamship Line. is• CAREFUL DOCTOR. Prescribed Change of Food Instead of Drugs. It takes considerable courage for a doctor to deliberately prescribe only food for a despairing patient, instead of resorting to the usual list of medicines• There are some truly scientific physicians among the present gen- eration who recognize and treat conditions as they are and should be treated, regardless of the value to their pockets. Here's an in- stance: "Four years ago I was taken with severe gastritis and nothing would stay on my stomach, so that I was on the verge of starvation. "I heard of a doctor who had a summer cottage near me—a speci- alist from N. Y.—and as a last hope sent for him. "After 11e examined me careful- ly he advised me to try a small quantity of Grape -Nuts at first, then as my stomach became stron- ger to eat more. "I kept at it and gradually got so I could eat and digest three tea- spoonfuls. Then I began to have color in my face, memory became clear, where before everything seemed a blank. My limbs got stronger and I could walk. So I steadily recovered. "Now, after a year on Grape - Nuts I weigh 153 lbs. My people were surprised at the way I grew fleshy and strong on this food," Name given by Canadian Postum Co., Windsor, Ont. Read the little book, ""The Road to Wellville," in pkgs.

A Farmer's Kindness Saved the Life of Isis Little Daughter. It was a glorious day in the mid- dle of harvest and the workers were busy in the cornfield. The mighty reaper was going its round, its huge blades cutting and slashing with -almost startling rapidity and - speed. As it approached a corner of the field several birds were seen to rise suddenly from among the long stalks. The farmer himself was there and on noticing the birds he thought that there would be a nest there. He was a kindly man and as the reaper approached the spot he felt a twinge of pity for the helpless little nestlings, but to stop the reaper would mean trouble, which he knew his men would not take quietly. The reaper tore along and was almost on the spot, 'wheat the farmer sprang forward—he could not let it linemen. "Step I" he cried. 'Stop 1 :!'here's a nest here. Stop till I re- move it." With grumbling • and comments on his "softness," which were( quite audible to the farmer, his men unwillingly obeyed. The farmer hastily strode forward to• the ,spot where the basic had risen, and there he saw—which transfixed him with horror—instead of a nest, his own little three -,yeah•- old daughter, sound asleep, with a Jersey el wild flowers clutched in her chubby, hand. But for his kind heart in wishing to save the birds he would have seenhis own obild torn to an awful dewhh, 014 Plaited skirts always have the plaits taped underneath to keep the strflght lino.

Sickle & Greening, Hamilton WHY MITFORD WEPT. It was the habit of Lord Eldon, in recalling the time when that great but not entirely noble Eng- lishman was attorney -general, to close his speeches with some re- marks justifying his own charac- ter, At the trial of Horne Tooke, El- don, speaking of his own reputa- tion, said, "It is the inheritance I have to leave my children, and by God's help, I will leave it unim- paired." Hero he shed tears, and to thee astonishment of those present, Mit- ford, the solicitor -general, also be- gan to weep. "Just look at Milford 1" said a bystander to Horne Tooke. "What on earth is he crying for?" "He is crying bo think what a small inheritance Eldon's children are likely to get!" replied Tooke, whose wit was ready and biting. BREAD A FOOD FOR AGES. Unleavened bread was common in the days of Abraham. In early England people had no other meth- od of making bread thenbyroast- ing corn and beating it in mo-rtans, the wetting it into a kind of coarse cake. In 1596 rye bread and oatmeal formed a considerable part of the diet of the middle classes. During the reign of Charles I. bar- ley bread was used. White wheat bread did not become popular until recent years when bread baking at home ceased to. become common and bakeries began to thrive. When ironing and folding table- cloths fold one week in three and the next in four. This will prevent them from wearing thin at the folds. Cholera and all summer com- plaints are so quick in their action that the cold hand of death is upon the victims before they are aware that danger. is near. If attacked do not delay in getting the proper medicine. Try a dose of Dr J. D. Kellogg's Dysentery Cordial, and you will get immediate relief. It acts with wonderful rapidity and never fails to effect a cure. Two are company; three a house party. Mlnard's Liniment Cures Burns, Eta. THE EASIEST WAY.

A Oantton, Ohio, oancern was con- victed of selling a soft drink con- taining cocaine. The court consid- ered a $25 lino sufficient punislh hent. A St. Louis house sold a powder for infants that was said to making "teething" easy; it eon- tanned opium, A $10 fine was suffi- oiemt .punishment. An "agreeable and efficient tonic" was found to contain cocaine, although the pre - ewes of this drugwas not stated. In this case the court suspended sentence. "Some day," says the Journal of. the American Medical Association, "a court may bo found that Will 'Consider tho crimes of making drug fiends of young peo- ple, of poisoning:babiee with opium mixtures, or of killing women with headache powders, as serious of - knees." Dr. Morse's Indian Itbot Pills are made according to 'a formula in use nearly a century ago among the Indians, and learned' from them by Dr. Morse.

Now which clock am I to go ,. 'Yes can go by any clock yer like," responded the porter,. ""but yer can't go by the train, for it's gone!" te A. WONDERFUL DISCOVERY An eminent scientist, the other day, gave his opinion that the most wonderful discovery of recent years was the discovery of Zam-Buk. Just think l As soon as a single thin layer of Zam-Buk is applied to a' wound or a sore, such injury is in- sured against blood poison 1 Not ono species of microbe has been found that Zam-Buk does not kill! Then again. As soon as Zam-Buk is applied to a sore, or a cut, or to skin disease, it stops the bsinarting.- That is why children are such friends of Zam-Buk. Again. Aa soon as Zam-Buk is applied to a wound or to a diseased part, the cells beneath the skin's surface are so stimulated that new healthy tissue isquickly formed. This forming of fresh healthy tissue from below is Zam-Buk's secret of healing. This is why Zam-Buk cures are permanent. Only the other day Mr. Marsh, of, 101 Delorimer Ave,, Montreal, called upon the Zam-Buk Co. and told them that for over twenty-five years he had been a martyr to ere zema. His hands were at one time so covered with sores that he had to sleep in gloves. Four years ago Zane -Truk was introduced to him, and in a few months it cured him. To-day—over three years after his cure of_a disease he had for twenty- five years—he is still cured. All druggists sell Zam-Buk at 50c. box, or we will send free trial box if you send this advertisement and a lc. stamp (to pay return postage). Address Zam-Buk Co., Toronto. •---"p A CURE.

To Men Who Live Inactive Lives. -Exercise in the open air is the best tonic for the stomach and sys- tem generally; but there are those who are compelled to follow seden- tary occupations and the inactivity tends to restrict the healthy action of the digestive organs and sickness follows.
