They fasten with medium-sized smoke -pearl buttons and they better become the feet than do velvet shoes, which now are rarely seen apart from velvet cos- ne. Next in favor to suede are the street boots having black pat- ent leather vamps, with or without a tip, and black, brown or white ' cloth tops. After these comes the all -gray kid shoes which harmonize With a suit of almost any shade, and consequently are the stand-by of smartly garbed women possessed of limited incomes. 1 Shoes of finest glace kid in all - black and all -white, are consider- ed smarter than all -black and all- white heavy satin for evenings. If, however, a high-topped buttoned or lace shoe makes the foot appear thick and clumsy, a long tongued pump is worn. Paris Notes. The newest jabots are of chantilly lace and satin. A color of the moment is Nell I. rose. It is a deep cerise. I In evening gowns the flowing or angle sleeve is new. Three piece costumes will be very fashionable this season. Three-quarter length draped coats are very much in fashion. Picot edge ribbons promise to be very much used in millinery. Turbans of tulle and lace are worn with evening costumes. Some of the newest suits have three-quarter length sleeves. The newest evening wraps are short and three-quarter length. Some of the most effective frocks have bugling as a trimming. i . Fashion has gone girdle mad. , 'Scarcely a gown appears without its accompanying sash. • Long coats have slim, straight lines, with their fronts rounded off and broad shawl collars, Some evening gowns are trimmed with a fringe of chenille from twelve to eighteen inches deep. The fashionable long, tight fitting sleeve is very charming when finish- ed with a frill of plaited tulle fall- ing over the shoulder. There is a demand for the dark tailored suit, simply finished with a rather narrow shawl collar and narrow cuffs of skunk fur. Trains are narrow ; many appear separate and are formed simply by a straight, narrow width of the silk brocade or velvet composing the gown. Side by side with the smart Rus- sian blouse which is so becoming to the slim, tall figure, are the ex- tremely short cutaway coat and the short bolero fronted, habit bas- qued Louis XV. coatee. Compliments of the Season. Whether or not this story, sent to the London Telegraph by its Paris correspondent, is fact or in- vention, it has se delightful a fla- vor of the Orient that every one will feel that it ought to be true : When the Sultan of Turkey gave orders. for the mobilization of his troops, be sent to the King of Bul- garia a sack of millet with the fel- lowing letter: "Ferdinand Effendi. Mobilize if you like, but be assured that there are as many soldiers in Turkey as there are grains of millet in this sack. Now, if you wish, declare war." Ferdinand's reply was in kind. He Sent a much smaller sack, filled with tiny grains of the hottest red pepper of the country. With it went the following letter : "Dear Sultan. The Bulgarians are not numerous, it is true, but, be assured that to sticky our nose into their affairs is like sticking it into our national condiment, Try it and see. They will sting you so sharply that the whole of Asia will not be able to save you." Death . Sentence in England. In the House of Commons recent - ]y Mr; Ellis Griffith said that dur- ing the last seven years sentence of death had been passed on twenty- one women, and in one ease the capital sentence was passed on nine persons in their teens, and in four the judgment was carried out, When you have a lawsuit to lose you can afford to hire a cheap law- yer. As a sticker a porus plaster hasn't anything on a bad habit. ACUTE PAINS IN THE BACK Caused by Lumbago, a Form of Muscular Rheumatism Lumbago is sudden in its attacks and is so intensely painful that the sufferer is often unable to move, even to turn in bedor rise from a chair. The trouble chiefly occurs among working men, among whom it numbers thousands of victims. As the attacks come on quite fre- quently and are so torturing, this disease meens much loss of time and money as well as the endur- ance of much suffering. No victim needs to be told that liniments, plasters and outward treatment will not cure the disease. This kind of treatment is merely a waste of time and money, The trouble is really a species of muscular rheu- matism, and is due to poor blood, and can only be cured through the blood. It is for this reason that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are so successful in curing this trouble, and those who are afflicted by it should lose no time in giving the Pills a trial. If the treatment is persisted in the disease will be driven from the system and the cure be made permanent. In sub- stantiation Mrs. Alfred Derby, Et- tyville, Ont., says: `:A few years ago I was attacked by excruciating pains in the back which the doctor called lumbago. I was not able to do a bit of work about the house, and suffered dreadfully every time I moved about. I took the doctor's medicine all winter, and used lini- ments, without getting any relief. In a thoroughly discouraged con- dition I began using Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. After using six boxes I was better and able to do all my own work, and have not been af- flicted with the trouble since.' I now always recommend Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills to those ailing." These pills are sold by all medi- cine dealers or may be had by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Willims' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Kt Siberian Dogs for Alps. Six Siberian dogs have arrived on the Jungfraujoch, in Switzer- land, and will be employed in draw- ing- sledges up the Jungfran Moun- tains, and across the Aletsch gla- cier, after they have been trained to the work by M. Zochokke, a. Bol- ivia expert. The idea is to give visi- tors to Switzerland in summer a glimpse of life in the snow and ice- bound districts of Siberia and Greenland. This is the first time that dogs have mounted to so great a. height (11,000 feet) in Switzer- land, and it is an interesting ex- periment.

INDEPENDENT'"JOlk," A striking personality is ear. Joseph Martell, who has represent ed Last St. Pancras, London, in the Liberal interest, since 1910.

Why Do You Continue to Suffer from Catarrhal Colds Just Breathe "Catarrhozone,"—It is sure protection against Coughs, Bronchitis, Catarrh and Throat Troubles. O Drugs to take—Just breathe the soothing healing vapor of "Catarrhozone.". There are today but few parte of the world into which Catarrhozone has not penetrated. Prom far away ' Jamaica comes the following letter from Mr. 0. S. Burke of 24 Robert St., Alman Town:— "I am elated over the results of "Ca- tarrhozone." To be brief will say the treatment has cured me; it has done all that heart could wish. I was never better pleased with any- thing than with Catarrhozone; it did its work well. I am satisfied, and will never for- get this wonderful remedy. I am grateful for what it has done for me, and with great- est gratitude, remain, &o.- (S. C. Burke)." From Secondee, Gold Coast, West Africa, Mrs. Alvin Roberts writes:— "I received a sample of Catarrhozone through a local merchant that deals in the preparation, and found it had a marvellous effect on nasal Catarrh. I at once bought a dollar outfit and now have pleasure in saying that for the first time in many years I am able to breathe freely through my nose. Bad breath disappeared, headache over the eyes went away, throat irritation has entirely ceased. Catarrhozone cured me." Mr. Joseph Martin, M.P. 1893. He attained various honors in the political world, and became one of the best known men in the Dominion, where he was familiarly known as "Fighting Joe." But politics and law did not ab- sorb all his energies. He perceiv- ed that Canada had a great future, and invested large sums of money in real estate out Vancouver way. His foresight is now bringing him in a rich reward. Since entering the English House of Commons Mr. Martin's, career has not been devoid of incident. He speaks his; mind and reeks little of the consequences. When his con- stituents began to chafe at this conduct he virtually told them that they must "lump" it or get another candidate. Mr. Joseph Martin, K.C., has no intention of develop- ing into an automaton.

The Jerusalem municipality, is composed of ten members, half of whom are chosen every two ,years, the term of office being four years.' From these ten the Governor of the Province of Jerusalem chooses one to be president or mayor. The president is the only member re- ceiving a salary, which is about $64 a month. The members of the municipal Council or commission are chosen by the whole city, but. are apportioned in accordance with the different races and religions. Their duties are largely advisory, the president exercising most of the power. All property owners ;who are Ottoman subjects have a right to vote for the commissioners. The municipality does not con- cern itself with schools, courts, po- lice, etc. (these are provided by the government of the province of Jerusalem) ; its principal functions are the care, repair, lighting and cleaning of the streets; sanitary and quarantine inspection and oversight, including the public slaughter house; the maintenance of the petroleum storage warehouse and a municipal hospital and other charitable institutions; market reg- ulations, etc. As the total budget is under $50,000 for a city of about 80,000, it will be seen that the pro- vincial government handles most of'. the more important departments. t1, Only .500 Pages?

There will be 500 pages in the vol- ume and they will all be blank,' Electricity is never absolutely safe. You may use the common fix- ture many millions of times, and yet some hidden defect or break- down of the distributing system may eventually cost you your life or property. From investigation by fire fight- ers and insurance experts, certain conflagrations have been shown to be due to incandescent and arc lamps, or to wires laid bare by var- ious causes. Cotton, velvet, plush, flannel, which has afuzzy cotton nap, is apt to take fire from electric fixtures. A large plush theatre curtain which had been considered absolutely safe when exposed to sixteen candle- power incandeseents, ignited when in contact with a thirty-two candle 'iiulb and was destroyed, although fortunately discovered in time to save the theatre. An incandescent lamp wrapped in a wet cotton towel fired the towel and burned part of it to a coal. Another left lying on a cheap mattress ignited the cot- ton covering and excelsior and caused a serious fire in the store. Sparks from an arc light in a de- partment store set fire to a line of cotton and shoddy cloaks on one of the tables. An 'electric flatiron left with the current turned on set fire' to the covering and table, and the fire spread, causing much damage. Uncovered wires left touching a leaden gas pipe have often melted an aperture in the pipe and ignited the escaping gas. Mice and rats may gnaw the cov- ering off a wire and accident may "short circuit" the current to' die damage to property and even per- sons, Supporting a bulb a little above any inflammable matter by a silk or rubber fastening will pre- vent actual danger from the current or bulb. Course Dinners by Mail. Ten and tbwebve-courae dinners can now be ordered in the United States by post card and delivered to any part of the ooutnry by mail. An ingenious chef has invented a way of canning the most delicate dishes so that they can be served up after the tin has been placed it boiling water fox a few' minutes, without any loss of flavor. There is absolutely no 'waking to be done, and the entire dinner, from the soup to the pavory, comes out of. tins. TORONTO CORRESPONDENCE INTERESTING BITS OF GOSSIP FROM ,THE QUEEN CITY. The Next Provincial Treasurer -Dr. For - now and the. Clay Belt—The Windsor Uniform -Report of Chief of Pollee. Whetherwell-founded or not, the belief le current that Hon. Isaac Brock Lucas, who has been a member of the Whituoy Government without portfolio since 1909, will get the post of Provincial Treasurer hs a permanency as soon as the session of the Legislature ie over. In the mean- time it would be inconvenient to hold an election. Itis generally admitted that Mr. Lucas will make an acceptable member of the Cabinet. In many respects he will rank in strength next to Hon. W. J. Hanna, the Provincial Secretary, to whom he bears some resemblance in that he is a genial, clear-headed lawyer, who in the compara- tive quiet of a country town has built up a career on law -books and politics, He is a good speaker, though not of the spell- binding type. In manner he resembles the lawyer somewhat more than the poli- tical orator. The Boy Orator. Mr. Lucas is the happy possessor of a smiling, rotund, cherubic face, which gained for him the nickname of 'the boy orator" the first day lie appeared in the Legislature. The name has stuck even to this day, though "the boy orator" is now 45 years old. Two stories will always be told of him. One is that when he was in 1890 first elected to the House, and came clown to Toronto to take his seat, the doorkeeper of the Legislative Chamber re- fused to admit him until he had been identified. The doorkeeper thought It was some youth trying to play a practical joke •on him. The other gives an incident of Lucas' electioneering days. Re had called on a farmer whom he expected would vote right, but just wished to make sure of. He introduced himself as Mr. Lucas. To his surprise the voter was standoffish and indifferent. Finally, after a long argu- ment, the farmer gave a grudging consent to vote for the Conservative candidate. "But," ho added, "you can tell your fa- ther to come himself next time. If my vote is worth anything I'm if I don't think he ought to come after it himself.' In the practice of law Mr. Lucas' forte ie his handling of jury cases. Re is head of a firm in his home in Markdale and is also a member of a city firm, in which he has as partners such stalwart Liberals as Alex. Mills and W. E. Raney. Dr. Fernow and the Clay Belt. Dr. B. B. Fernow, who has been saying things about the quality of the soil in Ontario's 20,000,000 acre clay belt, thereby getting into controversy with different members of the Ontario Government, is one of the most interesting men in To- ronto. He is a German who is given credit by most authorities for having in- troduced the practice of the conservation of forest products into the American continent. IIe. and net Pinchot, le re- garded' as the big forester of the United States. He has had an active and inter- esting life, and gets his enjoyment as he goes along. lie is a veteran of the Franco- Prussian war and himself tells the story of how, when he first came to Toronto, ho eat at dinner one evening beside a prominent Frenchman. The Frenchman asked Dr. Fernow if he had ever been in France. Dr. Fornow replied: "Yes, once for sev- eral weeks," "When?" asked the Frenchman. "In 1871," replied Dr. Fernow.' The sally was enjoyed immensely, but by none more than the Frenchman. Dr. Fernow came to this continent in 1876. He was at -that date an enthusiastic forester, but it was several years before he was able to organize the United States Department of Forestry. In 1896 he went to Cornell University, and in 1907 was se- cured by the Whitney Government to be- come head of the newly -established fores- try department of the University of To - rent*. What He Really Said. He is one of the most genial men under the sun. His remarks respecting the clay belt have been contributed as being an at- tack. That is hardly correct. In the first place, Dr. Fernow is of such a pleasant disposition that he could hardly be de- scribed as attacking anything. In the second place, what he actually said was to advise caution in permitting settlers to go on the poorer portions of the Iand and thus repeat the tragedies of the poor lands in the older section of Ontario. His Honor's Satin Breeches. His Honor the Lieutenant -Governor has stirred up considerable comment be his apncarance at the opening of the Legis- lature bedecked in a Windsor uniform, including white satin knee breeches. This was the first appearance of white satin breeches in Toronto, and the democrats, who are not as numerous as the pretenr- sions of the country might lead one to sup- pose, soereely know what to make of the ncident. At Ottawa all the Ministers are entitled to wear the Windsor uniform at State functions, and do so. So do Privy Councillors, whether in power or not. Even the Deputy Ministers have a gorge - elle outfit with plenty of gold braid. But hitherto State functions in Queen's Park, Toronto, have always been democratic af- fairs.

Sir John Gibson..was probably actuated by a deeire to uphold the dignity of the Province. He wasentitled to wear the Windsor uniform and if Cabinet Ministers at Ottawa wear it why should not a Lieutenant Governor at Toronto do like- wise. Besides, Col. Gibson has been a soldier almost since infancy, and there are not many soldiers who do not fancy themselves in a new uniform. Be is,. however, not merely a parade soldier, for he saw service in the Fenian Raid. When he gets tired of his Colonel's uniforms and his Windsor dress, and his uniform as Hon, A. D. 0. to the Governor-General, and his decorations as a Knight of Grace, Or- der of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusa- lem, he can indulge himself in Free- masonry decorations to his heart's con- tent, for ho is a Past Grand Master and reputed to be a thirty-third degree mem- ber of that Order. Toronto's Crime Record. There are few more interesting blue books, than the annual report of the Chief of Police of Toronto. His figures for the year 1912 have just been made public and reveal the remarkable fact that 34,380 per- sons were arrested or summoned during the year. This means that about one per- son in every 16 of the entire population during the year has come into collision with the police department. The percent- age would be somewhat greater if allow- ance was not made for the fact that a good many persons have more than one arrest or summons to their credit. The figures constitute an increase of 6,724 over 1911. Drunkenness on Increase. One of the most marked increases ap- peared under the heading of drunks and disorderliee. This is due, no doubt, to two reasons. One being the influx of foreigners, and the other being greater stringency on the part of the police. It may also indicate an actual increase in drinking habits. Certainly the number of drunken men who may be observed on Toronto streets is not to the credit of the city, and does not, one fears, compare favorably with most other cities in Ameri- ca or England of like size. The number of prosecutions for keeping houses of ill fame practically doubled, there being 249 during- the year. This in- crease also is no doubt largely due to greater vigilance on the part of the police. It is noteworthy that of the serious crimes the city is comparatively free. Thus, during the entire year there were but two murders, but 46 burglaries, 36 cases of robbery by violence and 43 eases of pocket picking. Married Man Settle flown. According' to age, males seem to be most addicted to crime between the ages of 30 and 40, and females between the ages of 20 and 30. Out of the 34,380 cases, only 2,690 were females. Unmarried men in the police coils numbered 18,158 as com- pared with 13,632 married, which seems to prove that a bachelor settles down when he takes unto himself a wife. Of the months, September is the worst of the year, with 3,308 oases. Thleamay be due to the Exhibition and the horse races. It is very interesting to note that January, the month of good resolutions, has the lowest record with only 1912 cases. 25 Bluing* 10 cents.
