While the symp- toms seem to be similar to those of ordinary indigestion, yet the medi- cines universally prescribed do not seem to restore the patient's normal condition, Mrs. Pinkham claims that there is a kind of dyspepsia that is caused by derangement of the female organ- ism, and which, while it causes dis- turbance similar to ordinary indiges- tion, cannot be relieved without a medicine which uot only acts as a stomach tonic, but has peculiar uterine - tonic effects as well. Thousands of testimonial let- ters prove beyond question that nothing will relieve this distress- ing condition so surely as Lydia E. Pinkbam's Vegetable Com- pound.

On the contrary, it would seem as thoesh a now lave) of life had been granted them, for the shops are run of a bewildering variety of new designs in these materials. Ready made gowns in most attractive do - signs are to be bawd, and in the 50.. called privete establishments dress - Makers are Meat already turning out any number of designs In velvet- een and corduroy, and stating that "this is not a new fashion, but -still a, perfectly safe one," mere- ly that this is the emend reason for these cbarmlne things. Dark brown corduroy costemes with street skirt and Ionia Norfolk jacket are exceedingly smart and almost invariably becerning. are made either quite plain or with folds of satin stitched with white or brown, and with turn -down collar faced with satin to match. While tae satin folds add to time beauty of the gown, it is really a better plan, if the gown is intended for hard wear, not to have any trimming, for the best satin trimming so often ahanges color after exposure to wind and weather. Brown velveteen gowns are made on the same style as the corduroy, but they also are made with reefer coat, fastened with fancy buttons, and the pleated skirt is seen in velveteen more often than in corduroy. The Modish Colors, White, bleak, brown, blue and green are all fashionable colors, both in corduroy and 'velveteen, It is also fashionable to 'wear the light greys and tane. Time former in corduroy must alwaes be made without any trInuning, but in velveteen It needs braid, or at all events some facing of silk or satin on the coat to make the color becoming, The grey or tan, corduroy looks -what it is—a rough, herr' wearing material. The vel- veteen does' not, but, on the con- trary, is more suitable for smarter wear, for it so closely resembles the velvet. -Certainly a light grey velvet maturate would be most inappropriate in wet weather. In corduroy the largo welt or cord is preferred to the small, but it is a good plan to avoid the extreme in any material. Black corduroy this season is espec- ially attractive, and in the medium size cord it is softer than ever, has a silky finish ante is not nearly so harsh„ The manufacturers contend that it will withstand all sorts of rough esa,ge, and consequently it is made up in the abort and severe style' of gown already deseribed. it good coat, of a cut that is in excellent form tele autumn in black corduroy, is a me- dium length, fitting close to the fig- ure atethe back -and sides, but otraigat in front between the darts. A broltd blacie silk braid binds the en- tire coat, and the buttons are of black crochet or bone. There is a eMall poeirat on the left side near the shoulder and two hip pockets bound with braid.. The skirt fast- ens) at the side, is made with plain back or ;with inverted 'box, pleats, whichever is the more becoming, for fortunately this year this question of -what is brooming to the individual, rather than theablindfollowing of a given Mahlon, is permitted. The Norfolk Jacket. Norfolk jackets are one of the marked features Of this winter's fashe Ione, and while the style is, as a nee, more becoming to a youthful, slender figure, it can be adapted to a fleece of rather large proportions, as the pleats can be cut away un- derneath( and 'stitched down at either edge so as to be perfectly flat, or they can be made of extra pieces of the material put on- and stitched down, and then the long line from shoulder to waist will give the effect of a slender figure. The belt—for unfortunately there must always be a belt with this curt of coat—must be put on at or above the waist line in the batik and slipped throughi the pleats in front well be- low the tries waist line; then, if the jacket is made evithl straight front, it is surprising what a slen- der effect is gained. The fancy !velveteen with dots rued embroidery of silk, or with what aro known as the "shot effects" in the metallic finish, are most beautiful fabrics, and, in spite of their delicate colorings and soft finish, wear well. There are many different colorings, especially' in brown, green, mauve and blue, which have art exquisite Sheen. Autumn Hats. Colored hats will be fashionable again made of velvet to match the Suits, of the rough shaggy beavers, and also of cloth the same as the gown, says Halve -sae 13a,zar. A charming costume of a queer shade of red in a shaggy material has a toque to match with touches of darker 'velvet, but no feathers or or- naments of any kind, while a dark blue velvet costume has an enehant- ing picture hat of dark blue velvet with one long, white ostrich plume. The flat hats have not gone out of fashion, and yet there are now to be seen among the very new shapes quite a number with high crown—a style that could easily have been pre- dicted as a coming reaction from the flat hats that have been worn for so ions a time. A carious feature of the new fashions in millinery is that there is no One distinctive style F;tet aside for any age. The law is that the hat shall be becoming and suitable for the individual wearer, which is the reason why this year's fashions promise te be so parties - tarty attractive. The broad, rather low hate will, on the whole, hold their lace in popular favor, for everyday wear, at leak during the early part of the winter. The rough felts are to be most popular for outing or taller - suit bunts. an many pictures ea the Virgin, her ring wan painted on her forefinger, no was the custom for the wearing of It in ancient Greece arid Rome, Title finger is the one nearest the mount of Itfpltar, Indicating the -pride of dignity.

For this atteedauce the bride beetowed a pair of gloves upon each of them, whence comes the presence of gloves among wedding 'trophies.

The Probable precedent for the ty- ing up of the bridal carriage and bag- gage of to -day iam white is found in an account of an English country wedding of 1785. This tells of the decorating of trees and poles in the street where the bridegroom lived with white paper cut in the form of gloves and ribbons. The bestowing of' the bride's gar- ters is probably a relic of the very ancient custom of untying the bride's girdle immediately after the wedding and bestowing it on some favored friend. Formerly the garter or gar- ters, as many were often used), were given by the bride to some young man as mark of favor, and some authorities quote this as- the probable beginning of "The Order of the Oar - tan'," rather then the more familiar legated.

Thirty yearn ago it wan the cuelenn in that country to melte near :suitable to the public tnete, that would give satisfaction to the committers both in ;town and country, by the admix- ture of 75 per cepa of home -mace) wheats; with sie per cent. of for- eign. In fact, after an ordinar- ily favorable harvest some large country mills, 'favorably situated in goeti wheat' datriets, would' grind 80 per cent., or even 100 per cent. of native grain, Fifteen years ago the proportion' of foreign, wheat that a miller would be compelled to use had increased to one-half, wield to -clay, it Ls not safe to make flour to meet the general aetuand from mixture containing more than 20 to 25 per cent. of English wheat, and there are mills where even this small proportion has !rad to be re- duced to 15 per cent. Why This Change 7 It is because British agriculturists, unlike their Canadian brethren, are not alive to the essential quality of "strength"' la their wheat. They do not recognize as Canadian farm- ers do that strength' is determined by the presence in wheat of what le known as. gluten, roll that of the right kind, Ana so .to -day Canada is in every, sense of the tenni "Time Granary of the Won -i." Time farmers of Canada know by ex- perience that the Goyeenment have their interests at heart, for have not the farmers full rackets as the result or following their teaching and train- ing? And not only so, but they are growing the bast wheat in the world, as proved by comparisons of analyses. Canadian beat patents show wet gluten 84.22, and dry gluten 12.83, as against 26.17 wet gluten, and 9.79 dry Oaten, in the best grades that eau be found to compare with it at all. Then take the percentages at elleuninoldo or protein, the most important part, front a nutritive paint of view, end what are the re- state? By the same comparisons Can- adian patents come out at 12.09 per cent., as compared with 11.27 in the other amplest.

Three 'taste in London gave the following re -suits, each using 100 pounds at flour: 14.6 pounds of bread, 151 pounds of bread, and 152 mauls el °Pre d.1884 Canada exported in value wheat, $812,023; in the following Year it had risen to $1,966,287; then ' ioaped up to $8,025,861 in 1886, and le 1900 had grown to 41,995,- 488. Flour, that in 1884 only am- ounted 'to $1,025,995, in 1886 had risen to $1,744,969, and last year toed the mark at $4,015,226. With - oat being wearisome, these figures tell, and they bear repetition. And this is one of the results in Canadian farming of "the refine- ment of common-sense guided by ex- perience substituting sound and .ra- tional principles in farming for vague popular prejudices." It Is ti piac- i 'demi proof that "obedience is better I -than sacrifice."

My favorite heroine in history is Ninon de Leeches', who was all that. We all of us aeard of her beauty, which lasted till she was 70, of her amiability and of 4er wit, but It is not everybody who knows that, un- like most famous women who have left memoirs and letters full of ob- servations and epigrams, swell as Madame d'Ephiay, Madame du Del - laud, Madame the Seeign.e, Madame de Stool, Mademoiselle aophie Athould and mores of other clever French women, Ninon de Lenclos • never wrote a line or said a word that was bitter, malignant, or even only bit- ing, on the subject of her sex. She was cheerful, generous, even magnanimous in all her reatetions on the men and Women of her day. She was a gloriously beautiful woman and a moot perfect gentleman. Once she was heard uttering this prayer; "God, make me the woman you please, but she that I atmain an hon- est man," The woman - with gentlemanly feel- ings is the exception rather than the rule. You probably find her in every country, but you undoubtedly do in America more than anywhere else. Time reason is not Tar to seek. Of all the women on earth, the American • woman is the freest, the best educat- ed tied, on the whole, certainly the one best treated by men. It b/ the complete emancipation of women which has developed their 'highest qualitieet t In a.nneient time woman was little more than an ignorant slave, and all the writers of antiquity vie with, each other in reviling her and attri- buting to her all 'the vices that ex- ist under the sun. Now she is praised up to the sky for her .possession of all 'the troop of graces and virtues, and by none so highly as by Anitera can men of letters. The " gentlemanly" woman never speaks ill of her sex, and acknow- ledges that man does possess some redeeming features. She helps the members' of her sex who are in trou- ble and 'tenders a helping hand to the woman who has fallen. She doea Hot resent little offences committed against her. She is tolerant and for- giving, • ; She is a good fellow arid the pal of her father, her huoband and her brother. She would think it beneath her to commit the slightest act of racemes's. The locked dra,wers in .11.er hue - band's study, like the pockets of his coat, are sacred to her. She would not even read a woman's letter ad- dressed to her husband that might lie open on his table. She pays her debts'. She does not spend her leisure tem in ,sttores making shop atten- dants unload all their stock and buy- ing a piece of ribbon worth fifteen cents' to reward them for their trou- ble.. I . She ie absolutely reliable an -ti keeps her appointments like a sol- dier on duty. She Is cheerful and ma 'able, and as a rule, a philosopher, who always looks at the bright side of life. Her face generally beam -s with intelligence, and she is the com- panion of her husband in the Intel- lectual pleasures of life as well as in' the othera The "gentlemanly" woman is a grand, a glorious wonean.
