Two -toned mirror velvets aro in favor for draped eostumes. Striped ribbon is claiming atten- tion for jaunty street hats. A few felt toques trimmed with wool owcrs are to be seen. Jeweled filets are very much worn with evening ,baiffnred. The palm leaf design is the new- est, thing in rich beaded bags. Scotch plaids aro the newest things in blanket bathrobes. Deep indigo velvet and skunk fur are a delightful combination. Draperies are more beautiful and lines more clinging than ever. Astrachan fur seems likely to figureon many gowns this season. It is said that Georgette is em- phasizing seal brown in millinery. Many luxurious moleskin mantles are lavishly trimmed with ermine. It is said that novelty pastel shades will be in favor for spring. Sable fur, for those who can af- ford it, is the last cry of Mme. la Mode. Odd side trimmings are seen in many of the prettiest evening' gowns. Handbags of morocco and long i grnin leather are in purple or bright red. Plush with a heavy nap is a very smart trimming in coats of the same color. Delightful turbans are made of moleskin, draped with brocaded) white velvet. Venice laee is mostly used for I finishing touches on velvet evening gowns. The originality of many of the new hats depends on the pose of the plume. Tailored suits are almost as much fur trimmed as elaborate af- ternoon toilettes. Striking shades of green, blue, red and brown appear in velvet V 1 gowns and suits. The oriental influence is seen in Persian shaped toques and Persian embroideries. Some of the new chiffon blouses have Lace stocks which turn over, Robespierre style. Flesh hinted veilings with shadow figures outlined with hand run back are very becoming. A touch of gold brocade in a mole colored costume gives the whole a wonderful distinction. Magenta colored cloths trimmed with black soutache braid, is one of the combinations in the new cos- tumes. Little bows to finish one's collar consist of bright colored velvet cocks, combed at the ends and held In the middle by the medallion of real Irish. RULER OF TURKS IS PIOUS. Worships Every Friday In a Differ- ent Mosque.' One of the most marked charao-. teristios of the Sultan Mehmed V. ls, according to a Constantinople correspondent of the London Chronicle, his extraordinary piety. He religiously performs every prayer prescribed by the Koran and never omits the necessary ablutions. Five times daily, according to the injunctions of the prophet Moham- med, he turns hie face to Mecca, and, lost in- meditation, invokes with slow whispers the divine grace of Allah. He is surrounded by a host' of Moslem priests who faith- fully attend to his spiritual needs, When Mehmed V. became Sultan, be made a vow that he would wor- ship every Friday in a different mosque, so as to give the popula- tion of every district the opportun- ity, considered by the orthodox Moslem a sacred ane, of beholding the padishah and khalif. He keeps his vow. There is almost no quar- ter which he has not visited—from hoary Stamboul with its conquer- or's mosque to delightful Scutari, off the Osian shore, where stand famous cypress woods, cool, mys- terious and secluded. The, of worship which he likes most. at present is the sacred shrine at Tap-Kapou, on the so- called Seraglio Point .in Stamboul, not far from the famous Byzantine temple of the Sophia. There for- eigners are never admitted. It con- tains the prophet's mantel, an ob- ject of highest veneration among the Turks. The shrine contains also the prophet's javelin and sword, and the prayer carpet of Abu-Bekir, his father-in-law, Other objects of interest and value are the arms and turban of Onlar, u, mace from the shrine of Mecca, and the "Sandjak Sherif," or eaered stand of the pro- phet.

It was not unnatural that I should begin to brood over the chance that I should be unfit to do my work. and this dread made my sleepless nights perfect misery. After repeated trials of medicines and mixtures, Dr. Hamilton's Pills gave me the first gleam of hope. From the very first I oould see they were different in action from other pills. They didn't gripe and acted as naturally as if nature and not the pills were cleansing my clogged - up system. My spirits rose. I felt much better. The sluggish action of the system gave way to normal activity. Dizziness and headaches ceased, appetite, good color and ambition to work returned, and have remained. I am like a new man, and I thank Dr. Hamilton's Pills for it all." This was the experience of J. E. Parkhurst, a• well known grocery dealer in Jefferson.

Mi1ONTENEGRO IN WAR TIME. Graphic Pen-Pietnro By a News- paper Correspondent. Even in time of peace, Montene- gro is one of the most picturesque and interesting corners of Europe•; during the recent war against the Turks the country of the Black Mountain had a fresh fascination for the observer from the West. A correspondent of the London Times writes thus of the piquant civiliza- tions that he saw in the streets of Podgoritza : Side- by side with the Montenegrin soldiers in greenish khaki uniforms, with light shoes for climbing over the reeks, walk wild -looking AIban- ians, each than clad in fantastic clothes of grayish -white home-made cloth, trimmed with black braid, a aheepakin over his shoulders, and a rifle, with thin, murderous -looking bayonet, slung across his back. Montenegrin women, wearing the long, sleeveless coat and carrying heavy loads,—for the women form the real commissary department of the army,—pass along the street, their ranks broken now and then at the creaking of an old -tine ox -cart, with wheels four feet high, or at the hooting of a very modern motor- car. Well-too3o Montenegrins, in the modern dress of red and blue and gold lace, mingle under the trees with peasants ,who wear the old whitish -gray national dress and carry old-fashioned rifles and as many cartridge -belts as they can get round their waists. In the soldiers clad in khaki and armed with excellent modern wea- pons lives the spirit of a bygone age. There have been many exam- ples of dash and audacity that might well bo the envy of any army, But misdirected and in some cases carried out in spite of the oommands of the officers, they have merely led to unnecessary loss of life. All classes of the population are ani- mated by enthusiasm for their coun- try's oaame, by the pride of elan, and by the inborn hatred of the Turk. From all parts of Europe and from America have come Mon- tenegrins anxious to take up arms, Yesterday at the little village of Rcika I found in the temporary hospital two wounded soldiers who, although just returned from Ameri- ca after many'years of absence, were as full of ardor as if they had lived all their lives in continual fear of the Turk. At the same place, waiting for the little 'steamer that plies to Virpazar, wore old men armed with rifles, on their way to join the army, and a boy of four- teen, whom his mother in vain im- plored to stay et home.

The Connaught family are noth- ing if not original. In some ways Prince Arthur is the most daring of them all in this respect. He, more than anybody else has helped to make .the quaint American dances the fashion in England. It is now recognized in society with a large "S" that he will not go to a boli unless the hostess intends to have some of these on her programme. When staying at Welbeck Abbey E.011143 time ago, as the guest of the Duke and Duchess of Portland, he discovered a few hours before the great ball given on that occasion, that there was not a single "two- step"' or other innovation on the programme. Whereupon he went to the Duchess, who is extremely conventional, and said this would not do et all. The Prince is very 'genial and pleasant, but has a knack of getting his own way. "I'll be dancing - master for the next few hours," he informed his hostess, "and I shall teaoh some of the members of the house -party how to dance these de- lightful steps." Very soon he had initiated Lady Victoria Cavendish-Bentick into the intricacies of the "Turkey Trot,". and it appears that even the Duch- ess of Portland herself, the most stately Duchess in England, also fell a victim to its attractions.

MATCHES FROM STRAW. • Scarcity of Lumber Calls for Odd Substitutes. The annual consumption of wood in the manufacture of matches is next to incredible. In view of the scarcity of lumber and its conse- quent high prices Caere, an Eng- lishman, offers what he claims to be an efficient and economical sub - stiletto which ho calls artificial wood. It is a composite made of straw and dried grass. The . straw is passed through crushing rolls, thence through cy- lindrical ctitters, which divide it into strips, afterward supplied with an adhesive, the strips inclosed at both ends with layers of paper, are forced through other rolls and through linked molds in the form of a chain, where they are subject- ed to heat and pressure, whence they emerge in the form of round Wits and are then cut to the pro- per length for matches, It is thought possible that this product may be also used for building pur- poses.

In Russia very serious alarm has been aroused by the recent pro- nouncement of the Court medical advisers to the effect that the Czar's heir is a haemophilic, in other words a "bleeder." This ex- traordinary malady has crapped up at intervals since the early Middle Ages among scions of European royal families. In popular language the victims of this constitutional tendency to bleed excessively after compara- tively slight injuries have been said to have "only ono skin instead of throtf'," The truth is of course that haemo- philics have the same number of skins as any one else, namely, one, but that their blood lacks to a greater or less degree that power of coagulation or clotting which in normal persons leads to natural arrest of hemorrhage after any ex- cept very serious injuries to large blood vessels. At the present time it would seem that haemophilia is more prevalent than ever among princes. The late Duke of Albany suffered from it and eventually died of it. The second son of the King and Queen of Spain is said to be afflict- ed by it and to be incurably deaf in consequence of hemorrhage into the internal ear. Rumors are also current that the Hohenzollerns aro not exempt from it and that some of Queen Mary's. relations are haemophilic to a alight degree. The disease hardly ever occurs in females, but is handed down almost exclusively through the Female line, That is to say, the children of a male haemophilic are not likely to suffer from the disease, whereas the male offspring of a fe- male whose brothers are "bleeders" aro eligible for the display of haemophilia. In view of the youth of the Czar's son and the serious illness .through which he has passed the constitu- tional delicacy from which he ap- pears to suffer is bound to occasion the utmost concern for his future among the whole Russian people and the greatest sympathy through- out.

Odd Flab Commonly Found In Trop» teal Seas, Related to the sharks aro the odd saw fishes of the tropics, which are 0omm0n in the lagoons, bayous and sounds of the West, Indies and the southern coast. These fish grow to a length of twenty to twenty-five feet, and as they are of no real value are never fished or hunted to any extent. In fact, the fishermen dread these creatures, for they often become entangled in their nets and rip and tear them to pieces by lateral jerks and sweeps of the huge "saw" on the noes. This ' `saw" is a bony elongation of the nose and is armed tion. "For three years I was in an either silo with large, sharp, the Royal Mail service, and in all strong teeth, and in the largest kinds of weather had t,o meet the fish these "saws" grow to be five or night trains.

I was so nearly a complete cripple that I had to, give up my job. I was in despair, completely east down, be- cause the money I had spent on trying to get well was wasted. I was speaking to my chemist one day, and he recommended 'Nervi - six feet lortg and nearly a foot wide. Very different from the saw fish is the sword fish, which is related to the mackerels and is of great value for food and is widely and as- siduously hunted or fished on the southern New England coast as well as in the Gulf of Mexico and in the West Indies, The sword fish is e splendid creature, often weighs as much as six hundred pounds, and has huge, brilliant eyes, clean, line.'
