Veils Are Popular.

• wear—the veil comes again into
Its own. Some devotees, of course,
remain true to the veil even in the
• warmer weather: Some VeiT:lovers
try to get around the fact that vens
are unconsfortable by wearing a
freak veil, like the nose veil seen
• t some of the seaside resorts—a
little veil that was liften from the
ehin to the nose and tied unelee the
Panama hat.
And there are always women
ready to take up a fancy, no Mat-
ter how warm the weather, like the
• mystery veils—heavy veils that
showed only the eyes through a
little clearing of transparent net.
But most women, devotees to
veils though they be, refuse to
wear them in the summer. And
when summer sanctions the wear-
ing of big hats the veil is forgotten.

The most interesting of the new
veils are important. . French wo-
men, it is said, are not paying much
attention to veils this season, but
American women always like them.
They are called "novelties." Like
Many new things,this "novelty"
veiling is expensive—partly be-

cause it is well made. The mesh
is of rather heavy cotton threads,

most tulle -like fineness, and some
are lined heavily with threads run-
ning parallel to each other, all in

backgrounds, squared off with
heavy threads.'This veiling is
made in both black and white.
These new veils are worn trimly
and snugly fitted over the hat

face, slacked a little over the point
of the nose and chin and pulled in
fords about the neck. They are

PRACTICAL USE or SHARES.
They and Bloodhounds Acted As
Convict Prison Guards.
Shark skin, shark teeth, shark
shark meat and several other
by-products' of the dead shark are
articles of greater or lesser utility,
but I have never heard of but one
instance where the living shark
was put to a practical use. This,
says Lewis R. Freeman in the Wide
World Magazine, was when they
used him as a prison guard in the
old days when British convicts
were transported" to Australia, the
monsters serving this purpose, for
many years aa the Port Arthur
settlement, ten miles south of „Ho-
bart, the present capital of Tas-
mania. The prisons at this point,
some of which may still be seen,
were situated upon a peninsula
whose only connection with the
mainland was by a long, narrow
strip of sand called, from its con-
figuration, the Eagleha.wk's Jacek.
The convicts were allowed con-
siderable liberty on the eeninsula,
but to prevent their escape to the
mainland half-starved bloodhounds
were chained all the way across the
narrowest portion of the neck.
Several prisoners having avoided
the bloodhound' zone, the authori-
ties adopted the effective but grue-
some expedient of feeding the
sharks at that point several times
a day. In a few• weeks the pace
became • literally alive with the
voracious naaneaters, and from that
time on the only convict who ever
escaped accomplished his purpose

Lace veils, to be worn loosely

ionable. They are as varied • in

ing a good deal. The preference
is given to a design which shows a
rather small, decided motif, re-
peated with mathematical precise-
ness. The big, showy, allover de-
sign is not so much in favor as this
small*, equally striking, pattern.
Fashion Notes.
The French variation of the lin-
,gerie dress—lace tunic and black
satin skirt—is seen daily.
A current red serge, trimmed
with dark blue satin at the cuffs
and revers, is chic and becoming.
The all tulle hat of black is quite
the thing, the transparent crown
leaving the coiffure plainly to be.
Very popular is the normal waist
line, with the broad sash, which
suggests the upper line of a high
attachment.

Joseph Smith Is a Man of Beniark-
Oslo
Preeid.ent Joseph Smith, head of
the Mormon Church throughout the
world, has just made a visit to Can-
ada, and while here dedicated the
ground for the first Marmon Temple
on :British eeila' The occasion was
marked by a ciaie, celebeatiOn in the
town of Cardseon, Alberta, where
the event occurred. The president
came in. a private train with his
'
councillors bishops, and advisor
and spent three days "on Canadian'
soil.
The Mormon people are making
rapid gains in Canada. They are
the pioneers of Southern Alberta,
and own upwards of 200,000 acres of,
land in this country. Seven years
ago the Church purchased one tract,
of 67,000 acres, which is being °olio-
nized with people from Utah.
Jeseph Fielding Smith was born
at Far West, Missouri, on the 13th
of Novesxtber1838. He was the son
of Hyrum Smith, brother of the ori-
ginal Joseph Smith, founder of the
Mormon Church. His mother was

NEW 7A...RENGINg.
"Soldier -Automaton" Said to Be
Substitute for Skirmishers.
Yet, another terrible engine of
war is likely to be added to the
i
equipment of modern armies, if the
invention of an engineer named
Aassen. of Copenhagen fulfills ex-
pectations. This engineer has per-
fected an invention which he calls
a soldier -automaton, an automatic
machine for replacing the line of
skirinishers for defense purposes.
Briefly, it consists of a •cylinder
which is buried in the ground and
which, like submarine mines, may
stay there for years without being
damaged. A signal station at a
distance of four or five miles away
is connected with -the cylinder. By
pressing a button an electric cur-
rent is transmitted and the cylinder
shoots up until it is about two feet
from the level of the ground, firing
at the same moment 400 shots in a
horizontal direction.
The value of such en invention in
repelling invaders is abalone. It
means that one of these cylinders
can take the place, at any point, of
400 soldiers, and if a 'number are
buried in proper systematic order
over a certain stretch -8f country,
a continuous hail of bullets can be
fired at an invading army, without
the latter seeing a single enemy.
A num-ser of these cylinders, in
fact, makes a, line of skirmishers
whose operations may inflict terri-
ble damage on the enemy. • The
shots take effect at a distance of
300 yards, and the inventor ealeu-
lates that only 10 per cent. of the
enemy would be saved after an at-
tack of these automatic troops.
The skirmishers would 'be placed
in rows behind, other, to be used
successively for resisting various
attacks and at the cylinders are
hidden in the. Menne% no enemy
can know where the line is before

they make new, rich blood that

fered. Mrs. Fred Tremble, Gunter,

I. was steadily afflicted with salt
rheum or eczema. My hands were
so sore that I could not put them
in water without the skin cracking
open. I tried all sorts of ointments
recommended for the trouble, but
they did not do me a particle of

Pink Pills would cure the trouble,
and began taking them. I took the

and they completely cured the

TOE WORID M REVIEW.
Wagend Priest.
The report of the British Board of
Trade on rent and prices is of unusual
interest and. is commanding great atten-
tion. It sets forth two things clearly.
One IC that the rise in priests, as has been
recognized before this, is a world-wide
phenomenon. The other is, that certainly
in so far as Britain le concerned. (and
holding true, probably, for other coun-
tries) wages have not kept pace with
prices. In Britain the increase in the
cost of living since 1905 has been 10 per
cent., while the increase ut wages •ime
only been from 2 to 5 per cent.
That is the simple' explanation of the

years on both sides of the Atlantic. In

and though somewhat novel methods, the
old process of readjusting wages to
Prices is at 'work. But there is no real
reason for supposing that the foundations
of society are in greater peril to -day than
in preceding periods of economic read-
justment.
A Word for the Ex -Convict.
A plea for the exsonviet •is made by
Mrs Ballington Booth, Mrs. Booth de-
cries the view that "once a thief, always
a thief." She cites numerous oases of ex -
convicts who are now good citizens, en-
JoYing the esteem of their fellow -men.
She pleads for a chance for the man who
once made a misstep but who now wants
to reform.
The ex -convict nowadays is often bur-
dened not only by his own sin but ale°
by the too great zeal of prison reformers.
The reformers keep on insisting that
most prisons are schools for crime, and
even an honest man when confined in
them is sure to turn criminal. This de-
stroys whatever confidence a broad mind-
ed employer might be willing to repose
in the ex -convict. In their eagerness tO
help those in the prisons, the reformers
unwittingly blacken the character of,
every ex -convict.
Mrs, Booth's plea for a chance for the
ex -prisoner who wants to reform—a plea
inspired not by mere sentimentality but
byrecords and figures Showing that a
mistep once doers not make a man a crim.
irial for life—should do much toward die-,
posing employers more favorably to too
man with a jail record fighting for hon-
est rehabilitation.
The Craze for Luxuries.
The craze for luxuries is one of the pre-
vailing Ills of the times. it as perfectly
natural for men and women to want the
good things of life, but it is mighty bad
policy for them to attempt to get these
things when they have not got the means.
This fact is emphasized by a report
from a certain city which says that many
residents have sacrificed their homes in
order to indulge in 'the luxury of motor-
ing. • The story of a mail selling his
home for the purpose of purchasing an
automobile was formerly regarded as a
good jokeafor the vaudeville artiste, but
now it has become a tragic fact.
The report may be exaggerated, but
there is no reason to. doubt that thous-
ands of persons go to the wall every year
in a vain and foolish attempt to live be-
yond their means. The desire to imitate
those who are richer than themselves Is
the rock on which many an otherwise
happy home is wrecked. Luxury once
tasted seems to get la tlee blood, and the
only remedy ie a determined effort to get
back to the simple life. '
Hudson Bay' Company.
$i
In.' the year 100 C, at es "11 ....granted a
charter to Prince Rupert and 'seventeen
other noblemen and gentlemen, 'Incorpor-
ating Ahem as the ',Governor and Com-'
pany of Adventures Of. England Trading
unto the Hudson Bay.' Their principal
trade was in the fuze of the animals of
that immense and at that time untapped
country. Shrewd dealers in furs were sent
to the various posts which were establish.
ed at different points and thus the prin-
ciple of bartering and hagglingwas in-
troduted into Canada. The aborigines of
the north had to be sharp indeed to beat
the keen -eyed Scots who were sent out
to handle this end of the business of the
company.
Unemployment Insurance.
„The great British social Insurance act
was in part an act against destitution
through unemplomeut. This part was
purposely limited to a few skilled and
well-paid trades; it was felt that unarm
ployruerit insurance had to be carefully
tried. The trades covered were building,
engineering and vehicle construction.
Me first annual report on this feature
of the bill was published a few days ago.
How has the scheme worked? Remark-
ably, according to all testimony. Employ-
ers and employees alike arc pleased wlea
it. There is now a balance of about $8,-
000,000 in the special fund. About 400 et]
men received insurance money, out of a
total number of 2,500,000 enrolled; but it
is explained that the periods of idleness
have been very short. Great Britain, in
fact, has been enjoying extraordinary
prosperity of late, and there has been lit•
tie idleness and little pauperism.
This, of course, implies that the unem-
ployment insurance feature has not been
severely tested. What, it, ie asked, will
happen if bard times come, with much
persistent unemployment and heavy de-
mand on the fund? One answer is that
the longer prosperity last er the larger will
be the surplus available for relief during
a lean period.
At any rate, the extension of unemploy-
meat insurance is generally favored, and
more trades will be included before long.
The administration of the fund has given
very little trouble, there being courts and
referees to pass on doubtful
Coed Manners.
Lord Rosebery recently addressed the
boys of the Guilford Grammar School on
the subject of manners and in the course
of his most illuminating remarks united

The furnished house which
Prince Arthur of Connaught has

will cost him over $15,000 a year
in rent, and he has taken it for a
term of two or three years. It has
been remarked upon that the royal
lovers should not have decided to
furnish their own home, and the
reason is that Prince Arthur is in-

no long distant date. This will ne-

Geverner-General of Canada, but
it is known that Australia is anx-
ious to have the experiment of hav-
ing a Royal Viceroy, which proved
so happy in Canada, repeated
there. South Africa, too, is men-
tioned in this connection. It would
offer a splendid theatre for the ex-
ercise of Prince Arthur's known
qualities of diplomacy, say the
gossips, but neither King George
nor the Duke of Oonnaught would
be agreeable to have him exposed
to the risk of failure, for the new
Dominion is likely to be the grave
of reputations, even in the cases of
men of stronger administrative
calibre than Lord Gladstone.
The house, which is of red brick,
with stone dressings, has eighteen
bedrooms, several bathrooms, and
six reception rooms, including a
fine ballroom, which should greatly
please the Duchess of Fife, who is
'very fond of dancing, and, it may
be remembered, danced with her
fiance in the quadrille d'honneur
at the Buckingham Palace ball re-
cently given by the King. The
feature of the house is the splendid
marble -tiled entrance hall and
staircase made of the finest Siena
marble. The staircase leads on to
a fine lounge, through which the
procession of guests passes to the
ballroom. Most of the furniture
is old Chippendale and Sheraton,
and the rooms are hung with beau-
tiful pictures: The study has some
of the best specimens of the old
masters,
including the work of
Coret, Murillo, Titian, and Dan-
bigny.
