Purple, from the palest orchard mauve and orchid tones to the rich• tele deepest plum color, is seen everywhere, The color is Proverbi- ally trying, yet when it happens to bo becoming, nothing is hero :harming.. The white hot so mach used by women of all ages is seldom with- out a touch of color, velvet choux, lowers or feathers fuebishing it. Oriental silks are in unusual thund'ance this year. llabutais aro established favorites, and pong'ecs mill probably never go out. There 11'e several Oriental silks which aro fua'antcod to he absolutely water- proof, and even perspiration proof. The changeable taffeta petticoat, which sold by the thousands a few rears ago, but has been in the back - Iround lately, is to the fore again. nstead of the two tones of the old 9eetiooat, tho up-to-date garment gas throe distinct tones or shades. The .first of the spring ]rats have arrived, but sofar they are mostly of the simple, ready-to-wear varie- ties. Small turbans, toques, ' mar- quise shape, and envelope hats are seen. They are neatly all severely plain, and aro in strong shades of blue, red, green, mauve and brown. Black boar seems to be gaining ill vogue, It is predicted that the rich, glossy fur will be very fashion- able next year. Among the spring silks, taffeta naturally holds first place, and it is of corn's°, taffeta of the soft finish variety. The pin stripe which at the end of the lest summer season made a strong bid for favor is here again and much to the fore, In pink and white, light green and white, lilac and white it is very quaint and pretty and stakes up into most de- lectable summer frocks. The ehop windows show a number of aniline hats, mostly trig little turbans. These are popular for theatre hats, and, indeed, are ap- propriate for dressy occasions in tike coldest weather. Valeacinnes lace promises to bo the favorite, as it was last sulnencr, and the fine imitation valencinmes is lovelier than over. There are some new.cour'se.crocheted laces, too, that mill be popular for linen frocks and he heavier cottons. The new, 'or at least the recent, !erre of ]tat 'pin in the shape of a argo safety pin will be found valu- tble for keeping the hats tilted at :he proper angle. Those pins are lot intended to be thrust through :he body of the hat, but are fastehied ander the back of the hat, and into the hair coil. Sonne of the new suvah silks should make serviceable and attractive stun- ner frocks and lightweight silks of the messaline variety, various forms of crepe, all of the lightweight 81110 and wool mixtures, the veiling and canvas woolens, very lightweight cloths, chiffon cloth, silk mousseline, chiffon gauzes of many kinds, all over laces and nets swell the ranks of the new goods. The immense popularity of lingerie waists has called into the market many beautiful oculbroidered linens, so that it is now possible for a wo- man of moderato means to wear the daintiest of blouses at half or one- quarter no-quarter the cost of the first Import- ed ]foul-nnaxle waists, Handkerchief !titanexquisitely embroidered gives the effect of handwork, whether it is done by machinery or not. A PRETTlr BLOUSE -OVERALL.

It is made of china silk, with e high collar and loose cuffs, and ties at the throat, high above your de- licate stock, at the wrist, well be- low the tiny frill that enols your blouse sleeve, and at the waist, just oelow the lower edge of your girdle.

And a week or two will show conclusively that the amount of soil it saves floc blouse beneath is wonderful. Being- washable, it can afford to bear the soil.

Ono of these is Mr, Wni. Edooro, 01 Welland, Ont, Mr, Moore is the manager of the electric light plant le that town, and stands high in the estimation of the citizens. He kneel: "It is really a Pleaenre to speak in favor of Lr. Williams' Pink Pills. For four years prior to 1908 I suffered great tor- ture from indigestion and stomach trouble. I could not eat solid food without experiencing groat agony, and for over two years I had to re- sort to a mill( diet, I had grown emaciated and was almost unlit for active work, 1 was treated by doc- tors and took advertised medicines, 1)110 011110)10 any lasting benefit. Ono day a friend urged me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I began their use, but I most confess that it was without much hope that they would cure me. After taking a couple of boxes I could see an improvement, and this gave The encouragement. I continued using the pills until I liad taken eight boxes, when I was com- pletely cured and able to eat any kind of food I desired. I shall al- ways praise Dr. Williams' Pink hills, as they saved me from such misery as only a dyspeptic knows. I might add that my wife has also used the pills for t1o,'rbles that afflict her sex, and has been fully restored to health." ]lad blood, poor blood, ivatei'y blood, is the cause of nearly every ailment that afflicts mankind.

How Codd Cleared His Client of Stealing a Duck. "Lawyer's shape up Carious defences for their clients in many instances," said a limb of the law. "I suppose we aro all familiar with the old story of the school reader, where the lawyer advised his client to play crazy, and got a sheep's boa for his fee. I was reminded of the fact by a recent publication in an English journal on the subject of 'Curious Defences.' "Ono excellent instance is supplied here in what is known as 'Codd's Puzzle.' Codd was 'defending a client accused of stealing a duck. Ile set up seven defences: (1) The as Bused bought the duck and paid for it; (2) he found it; (8) it was given to hien; (4) it flew into his garden;. (5) it was put in his pocket while he slept; 6 and 7 aro not recorded; but some ono suggested that there never was any duck at all. The ac- cused was acquitted, not 'because they chose any Particular defence, but because they did not know which to choose, and so gave the prisoner the benefit of the doubt.' "There is a story told ot,an Amer- ican lawyer of note who, after hear- ing his client's story, asked nim how much money he had on him. Tho client told the lawyer what he had, and gave it to him. 'Now,' said the lawyer, 'you want me to advise you what to do in order to get out of this trouble.' 'Yes,' the client said, 'Well,' the lawyer continued, 'do you Cee that window?' 'Yes,' said the client. 'Well, you can clear your - melt by jumping out of that window and run, ' run fast, and 'don't stop until you got colt of the country, and don't you over come back.' Of course t do not vouch for the story, but It serves -to 'show the resourcefulness of some lawyers when it comes to coustructing a defence." FRAIL LITTLE ONES. The little ones aro frail. Their hold upon life is slight. No symp- tom that indicates any of the little ailments of 'childhood should be al- loweii to ,pass for a moment without proper attention. The little ail- ment may soon become a serious one, and then it may be too late to save a precious little life. 11 Baby's Own Tablets aro ]rcpt in the house, the clanger of serious trouble can be averted, and the minor troubles promptly cured.

It is not generally known that there le a telegraph across the southern desert lands of the Jtl'astralian con- tinent of 2,000 miles in length, and which runs partially through an un- inhabited country and long tracts of a waterless desert. While it was being constructed over 2,000 tons of Materials had to be carried far into the interior, and many of the iron and wooden piles were conveyed 400 miles, A recent report says that the wear and tear of this telegraph construction has been inconsiderable, but there is great diffcillty, found in supplying the stations heroes the desert With operators. ,A tyohlann0vet' really can 'hate enot11ar who hasn't as good (lathee. as silo Int. THE WELSH REVIVAL, Striking Developments in the Re- ligious Fervor. T11a Ofd Country nowspilpern con- tinue to puhi1s11 striking incidents of the religious revival in Wales, which pilows no sign of lessening. ]lore are a few temples: At a meeting at Porth, Evan Rob- erts said he wason one accaeton in a badly vc1Lilatod cllnp(:l, and there was nu means to get fresh air in.

During the Christmas holidays the Nonconform- ist Churches decided to Icoop knit' schoolroom open all day long for the use of young converts, Bad speela1 meetings of prayer aro being organi- zed to pray for the safeguarding of converts during the temptations of the ho]i(11ty season. There was prac- tically no drunkenness in the Rhond- da and Aberdare Valleys on Christ- mas Eve. Ono of the magistrates Paid that all the time he had been on the Bench he had never seen any- thing 111co it, and he attributed the happy state of things entirely to the revival. . A band of evangelists known as the ex -Toothed] missionar- ies has been feriae(] at Treorky. Many of them were prominent ex- ponents of the gnnre in their dis- trict. An incident emphasizing the spontaneity of the revival ocurrod at Rhondda chapel, The minister preached _0, very short sermon in the morning, and a young man's peti- tion in the afternoon was, "Lord, you allowed hila to say a little in the morning, but stop him to- night." Singularly enough, the minister was stopped, although 110 attempted several times to preach on the usual lines, but the fervor of those present would not admit, of it. A new society in connection with tho revival has been former], to be known as the Christian Reformers, for work einem drunkards by visiting public houses and holding prayer meetings in hones, Membership is confined to total abstainers and non-smokers. Llewellyn Roberts, a collier, who was flr.ed at Aberavon for being drunk and disorderly, was asked if he had anything to say. "I was an ardent revivatist until Christmas," he said. A negro actor who said that for seven yea's he took a lead- ing part in "Uncle Tout's Cabin," said at a Cardiffmeeting that he was in a stock company, and had perforated at the Grand Theatre. Ile, however, was now converted. At Carnarvon a congregation at Shiloa Calvinistic Methodist Chapel decid- ed to go out into the streets. They formed into procession and made their way into the worst slums of the town, singing anal praying as they wont. As one man sang an old Welsh hymn, another, who was standing on the edge of the crowd, took a bottle of whiskey out of his pocket and dashed it on the ground, declaring ho would never again touch a 'drop. 0 EARLY CLOSING. Rules of the Recently -passed Act in Scotland. If a man living in Glasgow or Ed- inburgh wishes to obtain alcoholic refreshment after ten o'clock at night he must either purchase a rail- way ticket or a scat at a theatre. Up till 1ast.May the closing time for public houses in those cities was eleven o'clock, but since then a co- Gently -passed Act has made it com- pulsory for them to shut up at ten. "When tho new rule was first es- tablished," said a police official, "the regular drinkern resented it, and out of sheer bravado they drank more than ever, with the result that we got an increased number of charges. "Some of them would even bring bottles of whiskey round lu front of the police ofIlce, drink their contents, and then smash rho• bottles on, the pavement in defiance,. The natural cliodt of the ten o'clock closing; how- ever, is now showing itself,and in the last tihree months WO have had' a steady diminution of charges. "l» 1903, for October, November, and the first three weeks of Decem- ber, the number of cases were roe sSectively 311, 274 and 21 2, For the corresponding period he 1904 tine figures were 201, 2111 and 167.

One "old boy," wbo writes about Up- pingbann, which was founded in the tinge of Queen Elizabeth, and had risen into celebrity under the master - :5111p of Edward Thring, says that the dormitories there had concrete floors and were delightfully cool in eulnmar, in winter, however, they wore of an arctic temperature, for there were no fires. One event of the week was sure to rouse in the boys a wave of Indig- nant horror. This was the appear- ance of clean sheets, which, being of Linen, always felt like lee. No one who was at Uppingham at that period can ever have forgotten the accents with which the first boy to get into bed would announce, "Clean sheets!" "Oh, 1 say, you fellows,"' he was more likely to call, "look at this!" "Why, what's up?" "Clean straw, by all that's horri- ble! 0 my! How cold it is!" "Clean straw!

If the efforts of certain parties are successful, the farmers of Canada will Have to face a very unjust and burdensome tax. A movement is on foot to have fence wire, which has for a number of years been admitted into the country duty free, put on the dutiable list. The grades sought to be affected are galvanized iron or steel wire No. 9, 12 and 13. Practically none of these are made in Canada, and since enormous quantities aro used each year in re - piecing the primitive rail structures and enclosing prairie farms, the in- jury that a duty would impose upon the rural community could not be readily estimated. Since the admission of wire duty free. Canadians have enjoyed the benefits of cheap fencing of a very desirable ,kind. This has net only vastly unproved the appearance and value of hundreds of farm houses, bur it bas melded immensely to the comforts of winter travelling over roads that were formerly very often inlpa551tYle on account of snowbloak- ades, To put a check upon this sort of improvement by a tax that could work only injury to the rural population wi1110ntlt benefit to any other class of the people would be fntleod a serious nrattel'. Besides working an tnhiry to the farmer, the. fence -manufacturing industry would bo demoralized.

There were on board about 300 rank and file of the 54th regiment, under Liant.-Col. Moffatt, and a number of women and children, and the ship also car- ried large quantities of Government stores.

The boats full of women and chil- dren were lowered by the troops and sailors who remained on board fighting the fire. One of the barrels of powder exploded tearing a hole in the hull and spreading the flames through the stent.
