FRorif DEATH'S BOOR, An Ottawa Man's Wonderfully Narrow scape. He was hi Convialeions end the Hec- tare Tole His Wife be could not Wye till Morning, but he Hecate. ered. Ottawa, Oat., Sept. 22.—(Speeka,1). --At 809 Gilmore serect, that city, there' reetides a man who has been nearer the hour and article of death than anyone who has been privileged to rive to tell the story. He 'is Mr. Geo. H. Kent, a printer in the amphey of the Bank Note Co., of Wellington street. Some seven or eight years ago Mr. Kent was Weed with Bright's Dis- ease which gradually grew worse tell ho had to quit work and was confined to his bed weere he so- metime( for some months. Physielans were in constant at- tendance upon lam, but instead of emplovine he gradually grew worse and worse. At last he got so low that his body became terribly bloated and lite skin like airmail leather. He had convuleions, witch increased in fre- quency and the intervals between these spasms iouncl so weak that he was barely conseloes. One night after a particularly bad spell the phyoicians told his wile that he could not Lye till morn- ing. A messenger was despatched for a box of Dould*s Kidney Pills, -which were immediately Drought to the dying man. Mr. Kent del not die. On the con- trary in about two months he watt at work again in the shop and has not Sines been off work.for a single clay. Mr. and Mrs. Kent are naturally very gratelue and as a mark of their gratitude have called a sweet little girl horn to them some two years after ihre Kent's remarkable recovery by the name of g Edna Dodds" Rent, Mr. ICent has made a sworn state- ment renting the details of his case and hie cure. +++444++ s+++++++++++++.4.** HIS SENTENCE • WORSE THAN DEATH. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Thoee who know something of the meaner of punishment meted out to hard -labor convicts in the penal set- tlements oil Saghalien, and more especially to such as come within the category of "most heinous crim- inals," can well appreciete the trait - o Grimeas appeal to' the Czcia for a soldier's death by shooting, or oven felon's death by hanging. 'That appeal, says tae Moscow correspond- ent of the Morning Loader, will not be voucligz.fed. Grimm must serve the first two years in the Saghal- ien mines chained to a heavy wheel- barrow, whether working or sleep- ing. iTute chains are] not locked, but welded, and there is no release ex- cept on a. doctor's order for the con- vict's removal to a lazaretto. The prison warders, gangers, and inspect - tors oeleilie Far Eastern island have, even inthis country, a peculiarly evil reputation for brutality. If he lives/ 'through the horrors of Saghal- ien for 'ten years, 'Grimm will then be removed and interred for life in one of the remote penal 'settlements of Siberia. I was homer time ago as- sured by a Russian penal authority that at least 70 per cent. of the hard -labor convicts deported to Saghalien would honestly prefer to be capitally punished. As a mat- ter of fact, it is a purely hypocritic- al etraining of the descriptive term to :teepee "humanitarianiern" with the law, which forbids, as a general rule, capital punishment in Russia. WASTING AWRY' Thp. Sad Condition of Many Young Girls. Mothers Should be very Careful When Their Daughters Complain of Headache, Fickle Appetite . Dizziness or Heart Palpitation. Many methers neglect the health of their growing daughters. Not wilfully, of course, but because they think tate occasional headaches from widen they suffer, fickleness of appetite, and pale cheeks, are the natural result pi' the merging of girlhood into womanhood. This is a serious mistake. Thole is no per - 11:4 in a girl's life when she needs more attention, and unless the lit- tle troubles are :successfully treat- ed, more serious ones—perhaps de- cline and consumption—are sure to follow. What every young girl reeds at this period, is a tonic medicine that well give her a rich, red 'blood, strong nerves, and bring her safely -through a critical per- iod in her life. For this purpose there is no ether medicine Int the weeld can equal Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Thousands of girls through - Put Canada owe their present health and happiness to this medi- cine, arid thousands of others who are suffering would soon be strong If they would give Dr. Williams' Pink Pals a fair trial. Among the many young ladies wale have prove ed the great Worth of this nieda eine to Miss Samna) Reamer, of Bole, Ont, Miss Beamer says :I "Some years ago I became very ill, t and my Meet's feared, I Was going t Into a decline.'

Your old sleeves must be taken out and oast to the rag bag and new ones put in. That Is the only way Yoh can rejuvenate an old Own. But isn't this easier than remak- ing it entirely? And isn't it bet- ter than putting in a new vest and a new collar ? The sleeve material need not exactly match the waist, folr it can De a lace or a chiffon Or a net. Or It can be silk, if the gleam be silk, combined with senie- tieing else that gees well with the gown. The .sleeveof the new gowns are of the color of the gowns, but they are not necessarily of the game stuff, and all sleeves have two ma- terials hi them. This makes It elm - pie for the home dressmaker who is going to make an old, gown look like a newly imported French. creation. The hint which was given early In the summer that by fall there would 'be a return to the balloon shoulder ims not been realized.. Shoulders are trimmed and very mucli trimmed, but the trimmings are put on flat and in a way that has been called the cap trimming. Little lace shoulder caps:' of heavy lace are placed upon the shoulders of satin dresses and on cloth dresses. These claps are fitted and extend dowel the arm a little, but there is nothing of the ruffle about them. Sleeve of a Princess. Prinoess Margaret of Connaught, who its this dreeedeist of the royal girls, wears a pongee ocilored satin dress, hot -at all expensive, but very lively. It is a dinner gowe and the skirt describes the elingluag Gre- elan cut, with straight Trout breadth and straignt side breadtlie. But the 4bapk is full and falls away in a wale sweep.. There is a alip yoke of lace and there are sleeve trimmings of lace put on at the shoulder in cap faeldou, with the suggestion of a fulness. Tho sleeves are v,ery tight with an outer sleeve of chiffon which is fast- ened around the upper arm with a band of lace. Again at the writ it is fastened with another band of lace. Between wrist and elbow and above It there le an inimensely full bag of the chiffon, laid in side plaits and showing a great fullness, which is brought into something like a neat arrangement by the close little plait - legs at the top and at the 'wrist. Sleeves can best be described as wonderful. Whatever eccentricities and vagaries they may have taken on the past few years have all been collected and expressed in the new Sleeves of fall. The statement that no sleeve, can be out of style, providing it bag some- where, is not so far out of the way. Yet there is a place for the sleeve to bag and a place for it to be tight, and tho woman who is making her new sleeves had best study the dis- tinction and learn the dliference. A luncheon sleeve Worn by the Duchess of Marlborough is lovely. Its color was black and its material taf- feta.Both of these are possibilities for 'thewoman of small means. The sleeve Was laid In knife plaits at the shoulder, and the plaits were continued to the very elbow, where they were eaddenly released.' This left a very. wide flowing sleeve, which hung full around the lower arm, below the elbow. Seine New Trimmings. The new sleeves aro to be decor- ated with all the new trimmings. There come stitched bands of zibe- line for the making of Gulfs. Titers are vegetable silk braids, brilliant in their metallic qualities. There are gimps and very pretty silk and metal passementeries. The new gimps and beaded trim - tango of all sorts are remarkable for their brilliancy. They show bright rose and gay green and, the most beautiful blues in sapphire and tur- quoise. The oriental and Persian gimps are remarkable in this way and the nioet bectuttaul trimmings can be obtained for the decoration of sleeves and yokes and for waist decorations generally. And here are the roles for the amateur to go by, or what may be called the gualing points for the making of the new sleeves: All sleeves are in two materials at least, and mane; are in three or four. The ouster or upper material is the heavier one, while the lower or un- der material le of lighter grade. Lace, gimp, silk insertion, Persian embroidery, oriental passementer- is and talks in brilliant metallic hues which are used for the trim- miegs, instead of being put on in con- ventional ways, are erranged in de- cidedly novel methods. All sleeves, no matter what may be their shape or etas or previous condition of servitude, are finished with a little white around the band, alles vogue for white la very pronounced, alit' while it means ex- pense in the Way of lace and laundry bills le is nevertheless so pretty that you do not 'begrudge the money' and the trouble.

If you have any family portraits or daguerreotypes that date back to "befo" de with," you will find some- thing closely resembling the long, loose wraps, that, it is claimed, will be essentially smart. There are the same drooping shoulders, -the same volungnouo sheevee, the same sacque- like shape or lack of shape. The only improvements we can fairly be eetici to have made are to be found in the Nees, which certainly are im- proved; in the general finish, and en] the far more varied and beautiful materials, these loose cloaks and coats are admirable for carriage wear, all that could be asked for evening wraps, but worn upon the street, they are inherently ugly and, being that, I question It ir ultimate smartness, although 'ie is always are designed for occasions of formal dress. Tan, covert, Oxford, len de forge, and other dark greys, with brown and black, are shown in the coats designed for travelling and utility wear. Sleeves are large and either fall in wide, drooping puffs at the wrists, or are in bell shape, but the model of the season is full sleeve, on the bishop order, that fits smoothly at the shoulders, but wid- ens below the elbows, until it is plait- ed into roll-over cuffs at the wrists. Trimmings are of many things—braid, pa,sueruenterie, Moe, appliciee, fur, feathers, and sinapie stitching. 441.4"/V:L.C."‘44"W‘,N.N..4\044*/~44-4444Y/S•NS".***...."'We".'~ISISIN14,* WIFIE TRIED THE DOCTOR'S CURE. ,Ne4s^evs.ev%ev%ewe*Ws**\*WWVV, Dr. Gifford is the typical Ken- tuckian of the old school, and can 'spin yarns" with the best. of them.

I *****+*****************44+ These rules of etiquette are pre- scribed In England: A bride should either thank per- sonally or write notes to all pea, pie trate send wedding presents. It is considered good taste now- adays to have brown or bay horses for the bride's carriage, instead of gray, ones. The eustom of having groomsmen in equal numbers with the brides - :maids has been revived of late. If there are any pages the bride usually glees them presents, while the bridegroom presents each bridesmaid with a present and bouquet and also gives it bouquet to the bride's mother. Bridesmaids pay for their own dresees, unless the bride's mother offers to do so. This is not usual, however, and thereis not the least necessity for her to do so. The bridegroom's mother is 'led dow,n the church after the cere- mony 'by the bride's father, or Wetoever gave her away, The bride's mother and the bridegroom's fa- ther follow. The bridegroom provides house and table linen as well as furni- ture. tears ago the linen was the bride's care, but all this is changed. . A bridegroom usually wears a very dark 'blue or black frock coat, light trousers, generally gray, a light or white tie, patent leather (boots or shoes and a high hat. -- 4+444+ 4+4+4+4+4+4+4.44+44 DRESSMAKERS TALK ON MYLES • al************************x At the Chicago Dressmakers' Con- vention Mme.

The popular skirt will have plaits baler° and behind, whatever the side effects may be. Few circular flounces will be worn. Skirts are of an even length. No trainwill be worn, except for evening and house gowns. A short skirt is the proper thing for street wear. , The sloping shoulder is the only Shoulder in favor, an effect gained by means of broad capes. , All new trickeries of style are known as "coronatien" devices.

While this practice is a compliment to the quality and reputation of Canadian eggs. it is, also, a direct injury, since some retailers may take it that thee continental eggs in Canadian eases, although not labelled Canadian," are Canadian eggs, or that Canadian eggs are similar to them in size, quality, and condition.

Necessity forced the inception of such a System of agriculture. Habit and Ignorance prolonged the practice of men farming. The wonderful strength, and seemingly inexhaueti- bie fertility of the soil made it long continuance pee:able. The dialevery of the possibilities of the Northwest and tho gradual exhaustion of our fields called a halt. . Live Sleek Palming, the system making the emallest de- mands on soil fertility, is rapidly supplanting grain growing. Parts of nearly every farm are now mutat, bet- ter in condition than they were a few years ago; and, further, suety is nature's wonderful recuperative power, since the partial cessation of the tremendOes drain of grain exe portatioe the average Crop retuen for Eastern Canada have gone up very considerably. But, an every farmer knows, even live stock farm- ing long continued means a gradual low of fertility unless considerable food other than that produced on the farm is fed to stock and the man - ere properly oared for and utilized. This fact has led to a study of the methods for cheaply restoring lost fertility and preeitably cultivating sole so that 'improved, rather than impoverished," may be the annual verdict, •It is impossible to discuss the sub.

Im- mecliately, after ploughing, if in a dry time, tile land is rolled, then barrowed with a light harrow. It is 'their left enamelled until grass and weeds start to grow when it is again harrowed, care being exercised to prevent the sod being disturbed.

This is found to be at most satisfac- tory preparation of the soil for corn, roots or grain, Where grain is sown, the soli Is ready for seeding at a con- siderably earlier date than where late fall ploughtag is practised. It along with this system of shallow cultivation a proper rotation is adopted, meet excellent results are sure to follow. As Clover 14 iiie Only Crop which, while giving a profitable har- vest, st'll serves to enriall rather than to impoverish the soil, it is evi- dent that ri:vver should take a prom- inent place in August rotations in 'this country. With this fact in iniud, a few rotations suitable for the im- proving of our lands may be offered, as follows: 8 -year rotation -1, grain, 2, clover hay, 8, pasture. 8 -year rotat!on-1, corn and roots, 2, grain, 8, clover h•ty. 4 -year rotation—i, corn and roots or peas, 8, 'grain i ;3, clover hay, 4; hay or pasture. 5 -year rotation—I, grain with 10 lbs. clover' seed to plough down for fertilizers, 2, cern anti roots, 3, grain, 4, clover hay, 5, hay oe pasture. 6 -year rotation—Same as 5 -year, bat left one year longer in pasture. The reason for surface cultivation and the use or such short rotations as given above ie to increase the quantity of and place properly the chief factor making•for soil fertility. Dead vegetable matter exposed to moisture and warmth soon breaks down, to a form called humus or black earth, the factors above mentioned. Our prairie and newly cleared soils contain immense quantities of this material. Exposure to heat and the Intermixture of earthy matter serve to waste. Thus, repeated grain cropping with deep ploughing provide the conditions best calcul - peed to' dissipate this matter most rapidly and most effectively. 11 guuctions. °The functions of this common, yet easily lost, substance are varied and inaporta.nt.

The most important sources of imams on the average farm are farmyard manure and crop residues. Upon .the proper aplication or use of these materials depends the fu- ture of Canadian agriculture. Where the supply of humus is lint - lied its locationbecomes a very im- portant consideration. How, most of our crops draw the greatest part of their food from the surface soil, for, while some roots of most plants penetrate to a considerable depth, most roots of all plants are near time surface.

It would, there- fore, seem to be clear that avail- able plant food should be near the eurface of our fields, and that our surface soil should be in particu- larly good phyaletal condition of tilth. How to secure these two require- ments of rapid, rank and desirable plant growth must, therefore, be the first consideration of every would-be successful farmer.
