At the seine time that dispatches come from Paris announcing that society has donned furs and felt for sum- mer wear, the big shops are how ing summer felt hats on this side of the sea. Some of them aro of heavy black felt, and some of them are of bright colors that would make a snow storm cheerful. But some of them are of summery pale green, yellow, pink and white, in velour, with a satin finish. Many of them are double -faced -white, for instance, on top, and faced with cerise, or green, with black facing, Tho • three -tiered skirt is a mid- summer style that pleases the slim and graceful. Frocks with suoh skirts are especially pretty made of lawn and some of the other mater- ials that do not lend themselves gracefully to drapery. One attrac- tive frock for a young girl is made of batiste, each of the three gath- ered flounces being made of several rows of tucks running roundabout and put together with rows of in- sertion. Each flounce is edged with wide lace. Wide shadow lace is also used effectively in three -tiered skirts. ' Pumps, which many find difficult to wear because they rub and blister the heel, can be laid aside for strap- ped low shoes for walking. A pair of white buckskin shoes shows three • buttoned straps over the instep that hold the shoe snugly in place. The buckskin is seamed from the tip of the point of the toe to the foot of the instep, like the prunell shoes our grandmothers wore. Green is a popular inidsumer col- or and in a cool and refrething tone it is a restful change from the shades of red and brown that have been popular this year. Some of the smartest of the new outing sweaters have belts and cuffs and collars and pockets of woods green and knitted green caps are worn with them. Outing coats are made in deep green chinchilla cloth, too, trimmed with large white bone but- tons. Of course these outing coats. are made in many other colors - purple is one of the most popular. These heavy coats share the popu- larity of velvet, felt and fur among fashion's devotees. Effective girdles for summer frocks of lace or lingerie are made of ribbon- -of two colors or two shades of the same color. The rib- bon; six or eight inches wide, is arranged in two inter -twined lengths so that first one shade, then the other, shows. Pale blue and pale pink, 'ahem and pink, tan and brown and many other good com- binations of popular summer colors are used. Black is still popular above all other colors for belts and sashes and girdles. It is worn with frocks of every color. The ery in the spring that black -and -white combinations were doomed did not alarm many of the makers of cloths, for black and white combinations have continued in high favor throughout the sum- mer. Hence the black sash, girdle or belt on the white frock has had a great popularity. '• An attractive double collar is part of awhite voile blouse. One . collar has a deep point at the back of the blouse and two points in front -this is a three -pointed col- lar, Theother Which is put Over the one described, has a point on each shoulder and two points in front, which come in a different place from those of the ander.col- ler. Each point is embroidered with a violet, worked in colored mercer- ized cotton, and a straggling bead of violets is embroidered down the front of the blouse. Stockings with embroidered but- terflies about the ankles are made for evening wear. Each wing of the butterflies is spotted with rhine- stones. Other white silk stockings show embroidered anklets, done in white, and still others show lace anklets, made of baby .Irish lace in- sertion. $1. It Talks Rad Is Understood.

One Is a Mixture in Which Gold Leaf Is Used -Odd D motions, That Canada is a cosmopolitan nation and that our importers o food and drink cater in most extra ordinary fashion to the tastes o Our adopted citizens is indicated by the queer names of equally queer liquors that appear in the govern- ment reports of importations. Here are a few of them: Sake, masticas tirnovka, arrack, aquavit, bouza, guess, ohioa, murra, toff, yaoust. Mastioa, or mastic, is a Greek drink. It would appear to boast a long history, running back to the times of Pericles. Tradition has it that this was the tipple affected by Xantippe, Socrates' shrewish wife. Mastics, is a strong brandy derived from grapes or currants when the juices has been expressed for wine. Sake, as everybody knows, is the drink of the Japanese. It is made from rice, is thick and syrupy, and possesses so high a percentage of alcohol that our customs classify it under the head of spirits. Prune Brandy. Tirnovka is a prune brandy, ported for the use of our citizens of Balkan, Slavic, and Russian extrac- tion. It is said that the valley of the Danube was the original home of the prune and the plum, that no where else do they attain such perfection, and that nowhere else are they so extensively utilized in the making of liquor. The use.of these fruits in this connection is no new thing. The Germans, - who doubtless learned the trick of making brandies of plums .and cherries from their neighbors, the Slays, in Poland and Bohemia, were the inventors of the liqueur kirthenwassei (cherry wa- ter), of which quantities are import- ed into this country. Sloe Gin. Sloe gin is closely akin to the tirnovka of the Slay. Sloes, the wild prunes that grow all over Eur- ope; are allowed to soak for a long time in first-class gin, at the con- clusion of which process the liquor is drawn off and the sloe pomace placed in a press when the juice is extracted and added to the gin. Batavia. arrack is a, strong liquor fermented from cocoanut juice. The Dutch learned the process of mak- ing it from their subjects, the Jav- anese. A queer importation is "liqueur ds Dantzig," a thick, strong, syr- upy brandy, heavily flavored with anise and cumin seed. A small amount of gold leaf is added to each bottle of this liqueur, so that, when shaken or poured into a glass, the gold leaf diffuses itself throughout the drink, giving it a most peculiar appearance. Other Strong Mixtures. Aquavit is a brandy of Norwegian birth. It is made in the govern- ment distilleries of Trondhjem and Bergen, being distilled largely from importesi American corn, Russian wheat, and native potatoes. Ex- perts place aquavit next to Santa Cruz rum in the matter of strength. Vodka and sefass are Russian drinks. The first is a species of whisky or brandy distilled gener- ally from rye, but sometimes from potatoes, and the second is a beer derived from rye instead of barley. The most significant name in the list of queer drink importation is "house," a Tartar compound de- rived from millet seed. Teff and yaoust are the names of liquors whereof Arabians and Turks are fond. BILLIARD S. Live Wires, Barbers, Hotel Keep- ers, write for Booklet "Billiard as a Business."

RULING A. WARD. In China the Head Man Is Held Responsible for Good Order. After you have lived in China for some time and studied its institu- tions, the one thought that strikes you is the feeling of responsibility that pervades every phase of Chin - ase life. Mr. John Macgowan, a missionary in China for fifty years, tells in "Men and Manners of Mod- ern China" how this sense of per- sonal responsibility makes useless the ordinary excuses that weigh with European or American. Two men were gambling in an obscure part of the town, in a room hidden away from observation. A dispute arose over the game; it ended in a fight, and one of them got a fatal stab. It was two o'clock in the morning when the incident took place. The whole city was asleep, and the Tipao, the head man of the ward, and his family were in bed, so that he was entirely 'Un- aware of what was going on. His protestations that he knew nothing of the matter were received with a sneer, and with the remark, "Well, then, you ought to have known." "Fut how could IT" he modestly replied. "Never mind how," was the offi- cial answer; "that is your business. The ward is in your charge, and you are the responsible person to look after it." With that he was thrown upon his face, and a couple of sturdy lictors who had been looking at him with hungry and expectant eyes pro- ceeded to administer with their bamboos a lesson in the art of rul- ing a ward that would keep him in a recumbent posture for at least a week to come. This doctrine of responsibility is a very comfortable one to a foreigner when he is .traveling through the country. The innkeepers where he lodges take the greatest care of him while he is under their roof, lest they be called to account for any injury done to him or his property. On one occasion a certain Boniface pursued a, guest, who left early in the morning, for miles along the road, with some article that he had left behind him. The innkeeper was panting and perspiring when he got up with the traveler, and the latter was greatly amused when the innkeeper, with a pleased and vir- tuous look, handed hire an empty match -box.

SECOND LIVINGSTON. a Spent Twenty Years in the Interhir ' of Dark Africa. Dan Crawford, who is held in England to be the successor to Liv- ingston, when a young man of twenty was threatened with lung trouble and was ordered to Africa. It was in 1889 that he first saw the coast of Africa slipping past under the port rails of a big steamer as she rolled to the long embers of the Atlantic. He landed, believing that he had come •for a brief so- journ. As a matter of fact he was not to return for twenty years. His first expedition was 200 miles inland. After it, what he terms the boring in to the interior began. Thirty-two :months after leaving Great Britain he reached the sav- age town of Benguelle, 1,000 miles from the coast. There lie lived with the <great King Musnidi, swhose.riadi to power and the misuse of that power he graphically describes. He helped to establish the mission sta- tion at Luanza, built on a cliff over- hanging the Great White Lake. Here, with unfailing success he preached the Gospel to the utter- mosb parts of Africa, drawing the natives to him from far distant places. His interpretation of native modes of thought, of native cus- toms, native secret processes is something entirely new in sial discoveries. He has much to say oh the subject of the tendency to de- gradation in the white man who finds himself isolated in the jungle, One white woman he found, a Pox. tuguese, the queen of an African Nero.

Dept. 22D, Boston, IL hi, A. THE BRITISH IN INDIA. A. British Writer Scores Their Rule of That Country. A note of alarm under the title "The Coming Catastrophe in In- dia" is sounded in London Every- man. The article shows that Brit- ish rule in India is unsympathetic and unjust, harsh and tyrannical politically, ruinous economically, and that it has done all that was possible to crush Indian initiative, to destroy Indian culture, to stunt Indian agriculture and manufac- ture, and to drive the wealth of the peninsula to Great Britain, The article charges that the Brit- ish as a nation since 1857 have look- ed down upon these peoples and treated them as inferior mortals, not recognizing that Hindustan is a land of noble races that have led the world in many departments of art, science, finance, morals, reli- gion and industry, and are capable of even greater achievements in the future. "India," says the article, "has been bled, and is bled to -day, by a draM of commercial produce to pay interest, home charges, remittances, military depots, etc., to Great Bri- tain to an extent to account fully for the frightful impoverishment, for the plague and for the disease of poverty. The object of the Brit- ish in India is to be bribe as many capable Indians as they can by Gov- ernment posts and in other ways to support the system which is ruining their fellow countrymen." THE "BLUES." A Lady Finds Help from Simple Food. Civilization brings blessings and also responsibilities. The more highly organized we become the more need there is for regularity and natural simplicity in the food we eat. The laws of body nutrition should be carefully obeyed, and the finer, more highly developed brain and nervous system not hampered by a complicated, unwholesome dietary. A lady of high nervous tension says: "For fifteen years I was a suf- ferer from dy.spepsia. I confess that an improperly regulated diet was the chief cause of my suffering. Finaffiy, nothing that I ate seemed. to agree with my stomach, and life, at tinnes, didixt seem worth living. "I began to take a pessimistic view of everything arid see life throligh dark blue glass, so no speak. My head became affected with a heavy creeping sensation and I feared paralysis. "Palpitation of the heart caused me to fear that I might die sudden- ly. Two years ago, hearing Grape - Nuts so highly spoken. of by some estimable' friends of mine, I deter - mined to- try it, "The change in my rendition was little less than miraculous. In a short time the palpitation, bad feeling in head and body began to disappear and the improvement has continued until at the present time I find myself in better health than I have ever enjoyed.

Jackson df Jacksonboro, when he is home in bis native State of New York, is just an ordinary, everyday humberma.n rich, it is true, rich enough to 'be ranked as a lumber baron, When he is in Canada Wil- liam Jackson is, by the gratis of the Ontario Legislature, king of the townships of Ila,ggart and Kendry with his capital city at Jackson- boro. Technically, William IC Jackson is president of 'the New Ontario Colonization Company, Limited, an Ontario ineorporatkn with head- quarters in Buffalo, but really, be is supreme lord and unquestioned dictator of two Ontario townships, and the decrees that he issues from his office at Jacksonboro aro laws throughout the length and breadth of Haggart and Kendry.

There is also a schoolmasthr and a school, built and maintained by the com- pany, where the children of the workmen are educated. The postmaster of Jacksenboro received his appointment from th.e Dominion Government, but he also is storekeeper for the, New Ontario Colonization 'Company and receives his salary from them, The store is not run exaotly like other stores. It is a company store after the manner of the Hudson Bay Com- pany's stores. Its customers are all the employes of the company with the exception of.a few stray Indians, who bring in game and fish, and with the money they re- oeive buy. their groceries and clothes, their fishing lines and am- munition at the store. The Value of Trees. The soil is a resource of priceless value, Its formation on rocks is ex- ceedingly slow. According to Prof. J.. Bowman, many glacial scratches. that were made on rock during the last glacial period, between 60,000 and 75,000 years ago, are still as fresh as if they had been made only yesterday. Yet, since the glaciers thus recorded themselves, man has come up, from the cave and the stone -hammer. Seventy thotmand years is a very short time for the development of a soil cover; - for man it means a period so great that the mind can hardly grasp it. The cutting off of the trees exposes the soil so that the' rain beats upon it, and since it has lost the protection that the roots and the litter on the ground afforded, the soil ie soon washed away. In fifty years a sin- gle lumber merchant can deprive the race of soil that required 10,000 years to form. Wylar-Lend me a dollar, old chap. If I live until Saturday I'll pay yoti.
