Timely Hints,
A beautiful rest robe made of
white crepe de chine has a girdle;
a jacket and a boudoir exp made of
cherry `silk, embroidered in blue
wand gray and gold. The jacket,
shaped much like a bolero in front,
is out with a deep, hoodlike point in
the back. There are elbow sleeves
to the jaeket, but it is collarless.
The girdle is wide and laid in folds,
and ends in long, folded cash end's
at the back. The cap is gathered,
in mob shape, and a band of small
gray and blue and gold roses, made
sof chiffon and gold tissue, encircles
it,
Frees+ Heel Still Popular.
There are not many startling
changes in footwear. There are
;flat -heeled shoes, to be sure, but
they are not popular as yet. They
are too odd to take the popular
taste. The high French' heel re-
mains the popular sort. Some
charming tango slippers of gilt
cloth show ribbons- of gilt which
Aide through chased gold slides,
each decorated with two or three
,rhinestones. The ribbons fasten
meetly on the ankle with a small
lg^ilt, buckle. This sort of fastening
Ls, perhaps, trimmer than that by
means of a bow and ends. But
there are plenty of slippers that are
' laced over the instep with ribbons
that do end in a bow.
Velvet Rose for Corsage.
A new corsage flower is the huge
*velvet rose, in pink or purple or in
some fiery shade of red, with leaves
sof blank velvet. The leaves are
edged with a narrow line of vivid
green. Their blackness brings out
the depth of the color of the rose.

An attractive black silk handbag
of small proportions costs $5.25.
The flap is embroidered with tiny
roses in pink and green. The bag
is large enough to hold change, a
handkerchief and cards, and would

calling.

Fur Read Ornaments.
Tiny black or brown fur heads are
used to ornament the fronts of net
or chiffon blouses. They are ap-
plied, like buttons, in a row along
the edges of the closing. They are
very shall, and their heads. point
toward the edge of the closing.

Things Worth knowing.
To clean the inside of a silver
teapot, mix together equal quanti-
ties of soda, vinegar, and flour.
Waste this around the inside of the
pot and let it stand overnight. It
will make the inside as bright as
possible with very little labor.
Many professional cooks cook
vegetables in salted water from
ten to fifteen minutes and then boil
quickly for two minutes in fresh un-
salted water.
Ifbrass is very much tarnished it
will be found wise to wash it, thor-
oughly in warm, soapy water, to
which ammonia has been added.
Then polish it with a tried metal
polish.
When preserving sprinkle some
ashes on the stove lid beneath the
kettle of boiling fruit., This pre-
vents standing over the stove to
stir the fruit, It will not burn or
stick if this method is followed.
When whipping cream, cover the
bowl with a piece of paper with a
slit in the top, the shape of a malt -
est crass. Insert the egg beater
into the slit, and the cream may be
whipped without danger of spatter-
ing.
It is a good idea; to make button
boles on both sides of a lingerie
waist. Sew the buttons on a tape
and button them to one side of the
waist, When the waist buttons,
and the same tape of buttons can
be used on several waists.
If one has not the bags of dried
lavender, put a few drops of oil of
Iavender on blotting paper and slip
among the linen. This will give a
delicious fragrance.

CRASED BY AN ALBACORE.
Flying -Fish Are Relentlessly Pur-
sued By Them.
The home of the flying -fish is
along the path of the North Atlan-
tic trade -winds. In "Memories of
the Sea," Admiral Fitzgerald of the
Brutish Navy says that in sailing
down the trades you find the sea
fairly alive ~with these fish, which
are relentlessly pursued by the
albacore, the largest of the mack-
erel family.
From my commanding position at
the end of the jib -boom I could
look straight down on -the strange
scene. There was a shoal of some
dozen albacore swimming along
ahead of the ship. Sometimes one
or two of them would dart off on
either bow, or right ahead for
thirty or forty yards, and then
drop back again until they were
straight under where I was sitting.
The ship was going ahead about
severs knots, As it sailed along, the
flying -fish would rise out of the wa-
ter before it, spread their wings,
and soar away to the right or left.
Often I could see exactly what hap-
pened. As the flying -fish rose, one
of the albacore darted off in pur-
suit, and kept almost underneath
him until he dropped into the water
again; then there was a splash like
the rise of asalmon, and the flying -
fish flew no more.
But the albacore did not always
wait fox the flying -fish to 'touch the
water. On several o•ooasions I saw
them actually take their prey in
the air, by making a huge jump out
of the water. I remember once
reading a book called "Hall's Frag-
ments," wherein the writer de-
scribes a somewhat similar scene,
and records that he had 'seen the
albacore almost oatch the flying -fish
in the air; -but I saw him do it.
There wars a , xna.n down on the
dolphin-str»,.1x,.,Lreea spar under the
b•owapnit--with the five -pronged
ash. grains,: trying to spear one of
the albacore; but he never suc-
ceeded in 'making a good shot; he
did not even appear to frighten
them. They seemed to regard his
efforts as rather a lark, not serious
enough to cause them any uneasi-
ness.

Clearly Unjust.
Ever since they came to school
that morning two of the boys had
been persistently naughty. At last,
therefore, the teacher, now thor-
oughly exasperated, turned to them
angrily, and said that they must
stay in during playtime until each
had written his name one thousand
times.

Playtime duly came, and, as: the
rest of the class rose and .hastened
from the room to enjoy a spell of
freedom, the two miscreants settled
dowlu to their irksome imposition.
Five minutes later the teacher re-
turned to see how they were getting
on, and•found a heated argument in
progress.
"Conic, come 1" she asked.
"What's the matter now '"

A WOMAN'S
HELPLESSNESS
Cured Through the Rich,. Red
Blood Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills Actually Maim.
Thousands of women suffer from
headaches, backaches, dizziness,
langoui and nervousness. Frew
realize that their misery_ all crimes
from the bad state of their blood.
They take one thing for their head,
another for their stomach and e
third for their nerves. And yet all
the while it is simply their blood
that is the causeof all the trouble„
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will cure
because they actually make new,
rich, red blood, which reaches
every organ and every nerve in the
body, carrying with it a new health
and new strength. Mrs. Wm.
Acorn, Charlottetown, P, -E. 1.,
says: "Before I began -the rise, of
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I was one
of the most miserable women ' liv
ing. For more than three years I
lived a life of constant dread, .I
was taking weak :spells so that I
could not be left alone. If I walked
from one room to another my heart
would palpitate so violently that I
feared I would die. I was continu-
ally sending for the doctor, who
told me I had no blood and that my
nerves were Shattered. Notwith-
standing his treatment I did not
get any better. I could not keep
anything on my stomach, and the
least thing would make' me sick.
Then my trouble was ooXnplioated
with rheumatism, which beta. 're so
bad that I had to be lifted like a
child,• and the pain was almost un-
bearable. I was in this-depletable
cond cion when my httsbanel read
of . Dr: Williams' -Pink Pills, and
got me a supply, When I
taken helf a dozen bs;esa`a;
mucid better, and; could' go about
the house. I kept. ,on .taking, the
Pills until I had used twelve boxes,.
and I can truly say they Made' me
well woman. Indeed, I do not
think I would be living now but for
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I wish I
could persuade every woman who is
sick to follow my example, for I
have proved they will cure the most
desperate cases, and I consider my-
self a living witness of this fact."
You can get these Pills through
any medicine dealer or by mail post
paid, at 50 cents a box or six boxes
for $2.50 from The °Dr. Williams'
Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.
PACKAGES MUST BE STRONG.
Must Meet Requirements of Cana-
dian Freight Classification.
The Canadian Lines notified their
Agents at various points to refuse
all freight in fibreboard, pulp -
board, or double faced oorrugated
strawboard packages, unless the
packages are fully strong enough
to carry the contents. Complaints
have been received from time to
time, indicating that these pack-
ages are reaching destination in a
damaged condition, evidence, that
shipments are being sent to the
railways in packages that are not
of sufficient strength to safely
transport their contents. Agents
have, therefore, been notified, that
henceforward they must positively
refuse to accept jhipment of any
nature in fibreboard, pulpboard or
double-faced corrugated straw -
board packages that do not comply
fully with the requirements and
specifications provided in the Can-
adian Freight Classification. In
the past agents have had the right
to accept such packages at an in-
creased freight rate of 20%. From
now on agents have no option in
the matter, and must refuse`' such
packages.

Portuguese Royalist Killed.
A grim incident of the rising in Portu-
gal was narrated by a -French sculptor to
a Paris paper.
A peasant's cart filled with etrhw drew
up at the Spanish-Portugueee frontier. The
officials glanoed into it; one, to satiefy
himself, thrust his sword several times
among the bundles. "Paso an," he said
carelessly. An inetant later he uttered
an exclamation of horror. Blood was
trickling from, the straw.
The driver sprang from the cart and
fled, followed by revolver shote from the
customs officials. Overturning the cart,
the oificiale found beneath the straw a
dead man. The sword had passed through
his heart se he lay hidden. He was a
Royalist leader, trying to smuggle him-
eelf into Portugal for the rising.
You Live Longer In Bulgaria.
Official statistics just issued thew that
deepite her email population Bulgaria
poeeessese by tar the greatest number of
centenarians of all the countries of
Europe.
Among her 4,500,000 people there are 3.883
persons of at least 100 years of age. Other
countries return the following• flguree;
Roumania, 1,074 centenarians; Servia, 673;

land, 92; Russia. 89; Germany, 76; Nor-
way, 23; Belgium, 5; Denmark, 2, and
Switzerland, 0.
The longevity of the Bulgarians is sup-
posed to be associated with the eating of
jaurt," a eort of solidified sour milk or
curd, obtained by fermentation.
Test for Farm Machinery.
3I. Olementel, the French minister of
Agriculture, has decided to institute a
monster agricultural competition laeting
three years, which ie to determine the
merits of the various French agricultural
machines run by steam. oil. or other en-
gines.
The com.petition will take place at the
agricultural school at Grignon and will be
judged by a jury of agricultural experts
from the French agricultural societies. A
detailed report will be drawn up from the
point of view of economy. as well as re-
sults, which is likely to give impetus to
the movement in favor of motor agricul-
tural in France.
The nee of motor machines is especially
marked in the neighborhood of Meaux and
Soissons, where fourteen seetions of the
district are ueing motor machines on the
oo-operative system.

Giant Aqueduct for Italy.,
Rapid progress is being made with the
gigantic Apulian aqueduct which will
tarry the water from the eprings of the
River Sele in the provineo of Avellino
right through the Appennines to the
southern end of Italy, distributing it over
a territory of nearly 12,000 square miles,
with about 2,500,000 inhabitants.
The quantity of water available at the
springs ie stated to be about 1,200 gallons
per second, or over 100,000,000 gallone every
twenty-four hours. The cost of the work
is estimated at $25,000,000. The length of
the main pipe line will be 125 miles, in ad-
dition to which there will be several hun-
dred miles of side lines.

Use of Alcohol In France.
The French ministry of finance has just
published some interesting statistics con-
cerning the production and use of alcohol
in France. The total production in 1912
was 87,440,420 gallons, as compared with
63,797,165 gallons in 1911. Inspite of this
enormous production, France received
from, foreign countries 4,913,671 gallons of
pure alcohol and liquors. On the other

321,370 gallons.
Wedding Gifts In Miniature
A pretty custom has been introduced' nt
recent weddings in Paris. Miniature re-
productions of the presents that are too
big to be shown at the reception are
placed among the other gifts. Thue at a
