In spite of all the predictions about the descent of the waistline, there is not a doubt but that the line reinafns high in the back in the tailored suits. It may find its ,odd place in neatly belted dresses, It may slide toward the knees if it will in fanciful gowns. But in the smart) little coat and skirt of serge, or silk, or wool, it exists only in the back, and there it is distinctly high and marked by a strap, a belt, a gathering, a line of piping or a row of buttons. From the high centre of the back it may curve downward at each side, In, front the °oat is pretty sure to be cut away in a etraight or round or zigzag line be- low a pointed crossing at the bust, so that it cannot be said to have any waist -line there, Of course the absolutely practical mannish suit beloved of so many basiness women and others may have an uncompromisingly straight. jacket with pockets and no effort at individuality, but the French tail- ored suit of the .season has many little prebtine•::ses that do not de- tract front its usefulness. The skirt ie sure to havo a tunic or at least the effect of a tunic obtained by means of trimming er slashing or a panel inserted at one side. SLEEVES FULL BELOW. There is a tendency, slight at pre- sent, but likely to assert itself and be accentuated as the season wears on, towards sleeves fuller below the alb ow: Perhaps the large cuffs are partly to blame for this, for one meet need have sleeves to fill them out. But it is difficult to place the lat- est sleeves in any one period, since many individual ' models combine points of fashion from two or even more periods. There is one sleeve, however, which has not been copied or adapt- ed, and that is the "leg-of-mutton," for one thing at least is certain— the fashionable shoulder must slope unimpeded by gather or tuck into the arm, in a pure outline to form. Thus the fashions are easily and quite naturally slipping from ono extreme to another, from the very scant frocks devoid of trimming to more voluminous styles in which the trimming is the feature. BUTTONS OF SOUTACHE. Buttons in all varieties aro enc- tremely popular trimming this sea- son. Scarcely a frock appears un- adorned by buttons. Very attractive buttons may be fashioned of narrow soutache braid. Purchase a piece of the desired color and tie knots ,through the en- tire n-tira length one inch apart. Now these together, gradually turning the button around to shape it. When, the required size is made, cut (he braid and fasten the end. These buttons aro a most success- ful trimming for any fabric. Silk, linen, scrim or wash materials of any variety afford backgrounds on whirnt soutache buttons can be planed with great effect, Three strands of aoutache can be braided and formed into balls that hates a very loose effect, yet are solid. "NO GLOVES" CRAZE. ".Clse "00 gloves" craze is making Iisible headway. It is a reason for many and very large rings on the Sneers, while more than a few smart women are just now oultivet- ing the jewelled epider web, fasten- ing from rings worn on the thumb or index fingers and little fingers on to a narrow, rather tight bracelet. All these hand ornaments, toge- ther with the several bracelets it is now modish to wear at Intervale up the arm, render gloves difficult to wear fromthe practical tical point of view, while there is always the rooted objection in human beings of hiding their light and jewels un- der a bushel. DOMESTIC TROUBLES. Husband—"What's the matter, dear? Why do you Iook so wor- ried?" Wile—"Oh I've just got every- thing all ready for Mrs. Meatleigh's visit. I've done up all the cur- tains and pillowsharns and bureau - covers and centre -pieces, and they're all spick and span." Husband—'Well, if everything is in such apple-pie order, why look so disoonsolate about it 1" Wife (bursting into tears)—"Oh, I just knew, as soon as sho sees them, she'll know I cleaned everything all up because she was coming!" A POSER F01, RA, It was a dull, wet evening, and little Vera was in one of her worst and most inquisitive snoods, Father, busily writing at his desk, had al- ready reprovedherseveral l rie times s for g bothering himwith w th useless ques- tions, "I say, pa, what*" "Oh, ask your mother," "Honest, pa, this isn't a silly one this time."

TWO YEARS SUFFERING Brought en by a Severe Strain— How a Sure Was Found, Mr, Joseph Stephens, Rosemount, Ont„ is one of the great host who continually sound the praises of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and he has much reason to do so as they brought frim from . suffering to health, after be had spent much money and two years of time ex- perimenting with other treatments. Mr. Stephens tells his experience as follows: "In the month of Janu- ary, 1908, while working in a log- ging camp at Creston, B.C., I got my back injured. I suffered a great deal of pain and was almost helpless. I tried plasters, think- ing they would help me, but they were of no use, I took several me- dicines, equally without - benefit, Then I was advised to try electri- cal treatment and did so for a time, but without getting any permanent relief, and it began to look as though I was going to be perman- ently crippled. Then I was advised to undergo treatment with a speci- alist at Spokane, Wash. After ex- amining me he said I was in a 'very bad shape and that the trouble was likely to, result in Bright's disease. However, ho told me that he felt sure he could cure no. At a heavy expense I was under his treatment for three mouths, but slid not get the least benefit. I was almost in despair ; work was plentiful and wages good, but I could not work, as I was quite unable to bend. I was in this condition for about two years, when my brother, who was with me all the time, came across one of Dr. Williams' pamphlets and read of the groat work Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were doing. Re urged me to try them, but I thought it woitld be useless to spend more money • after all the other treatment had failed. He insisted, however, and got a dozen loxes of the Pills and I began to take there. Before I had used half a 'town boxes I felt relief, and T continued taking the Pills until every vestige of the pain was gone, and I could raise my hands above my head and then bend until I could touch my toes with my fingers, something I had not been able to do for over two years. My cure was a great surprise to my comrades, and you may be sure I told them what brought it about. I am now as well and strong as any man in the country and I owe it all to Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills;" Sold by all medicine dealers or by mail at SO cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. 'WORKERS OP 400 YEARS AGO. Life Was Extremely Simple for Laboring Class. The laborer's house was of very cheap construction; one built in 1305 for two laborers by Queens College, Oxford, England, was probably of masonry, of good lum- ber, but cost only twenty shillings. The goods and chattels of such a laborer in 1431, says a writer in the National Magazine, consisted of a dish, en e,dze, a brass pot, two plates, two augers, an axe, three legged stool, and a barrel. The common people slept in a huddle on the floor, with or without straw, and covered themselves, if cold, with their cloaks and outer clothes. Their flood oonsisted chiefly of grain, the average allowance to a servant being thirty-six bushels a year. Salt herrings and a modi- Treat ent Warm Baths with Cutin.

They are the only medi- cine for little ones guaranteed by a Government analyst to be free from those opiates and other harm- ful drugs found in so-called "sooth- ing" mixtures. Concerning them Mrs. T. C. Wood, Underwood, Ont., says: "I have used Baby's Own Tablets for the last four years and would not be without them, as I have found them beneficial every time I have given them to my little ones." The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brookville, Ont. ae TREASURES OF THE SEA. Gold and Silver Go to the Bottom With Sunken Ships. The poets need not exceed the terms of their lioonse in order to say that the floor of the ocean is littered w ith gold and silver and precious stones. Indeed, the state- ment is a:most permissible in sober prose, for many and manly a trea- sure -ship leas been lost since men first began to go down to the sea, in ships. Only last month the steamship. Oceans was sunk by a collision off Beaohy Head. Ton lives were lost, and five million dollars in geld coin, advanced for the uses of the new Chinese govesndnent by European bankers, went with the wreck to the bottom of the English Channel. Another regent ease is that of the Merida of the Ward Line, rammed by the Admiral Farragut,' fifty-five miles off Cape, Charles, May 12, 1911, She had on board seven hun- dred and fifty theme 1 dollars in Silver bars, and about thirty thou- sand dollars in coin, The ship to get away safely in the boats. Where the Merida went down the water is two hunbclrod and ten feet deep, and until there is some im- prevement in diving devices, the shill must make one of the company of irrecoverable wrecks that strew the ocean bed. Saeoessful work has never been done in the water at depth greater than ane hundred and eighty-two feet. At this depth a Spanish 'sliver, Angel Erostarbe,t recovered forty-five thousand dollars in silver bars from the wreelc of the steamer Skyro, sunk off Cape Finister're, Alexander Lambert, a British'. diver raved three hundred and �ty thousand dollars from the .ngh mall -steamer Alphonso XII., is one hundred and mitt -two t of water, off Las Palmas, Grand Canary, Another English- man, W.

In harbor and fortification work, a diver is seldom called on to go more than sixty feet under water. Attempts to improve the diver's outfit so as to enable him to descend farther below the surface are con- stantly making, Dr, J. S. Haldane, working for the British Admiralty. has succeeded in getting two naval officers to a depth of two hundred and ten feet. The pressure of the water at that depth was a little more then ninety pounds to the square inch. '1 NO OPERATION WAS EVER NEEOEO [JERE BECAUSE MRS. G00DINE USED DODD'S 1iIDNEY PILLS. Doctor said she would have to undergo operation, but Dodd's Sidney Pills cured her. Central Kingsclear, York Co., N. B., May 20 (Special).—"The doc- tor said I would have to undergo an operation." So said Mrs. J. V. Goodine, of this place. But she smiled as sho made the remark, for all need of the dreaded operation had vanished. Mrs. Goodine used Dodd's Kidney Pills and is a well woman. Given in brief mid in her own words, Mrs. Goodine's experi- ence is as follows: "I was very miserable with Kid- ney Disease and unable to do my own work. The doctor said I•would have to undergo an operation. Af- ter using three boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills I was all better and able to do my work. This state- ment 1s true, as you can easily prove by enquiring among my neighbors." Dodd's Kidney Pills cure the Kid- neys; cured kidneys strain all the poisons and other causes of disease out of the blood. Thus Dodd's Kidney Pills are a natural cure for all Kidney diseases and all ills caused by diseased kidneys. Oswald—Myrtle, I have an im- portant question to ask you.

Though fifty years ago there were only fifty miles of railway in South Africa, there aro at the present time eight thousand miles fn the Union of South Africa alone. We have no hesitation in saying that Dr, J. D.

It promptly gives relief and never fails to effect a positive cure. Mothers should never be without a bottle when their children are teething, YOU DON'T KNOW THE FISH. An Irishman was, fishing in a river when it began to rain heav- ily. Pat, not desiring to get soaked through, sought shelter • under a railway bridge spanning the river, and here he plied his rod with true Wel-tonic zeal, utterly regardless of the trains that incessantly thunder- ed to and fro overhead. Presently another individual appeared on the scene and politely asked Pat what he was doing. "Fishing," was the laconic retort. The stranger laugh- ed, "Pray, what is the use of fish- ing under the bridge while such an infernal noise continues1" "Oh, shut up, man," replied Pat indig- nantly. "You don't know the fish. They'll Come under hero to get out of the rain l" ED. 4 155111/ 22-12 a111INl~S>; GOAL MINES. Operated in the Way of Their Fore. fathers. About twenty miI.es up the valley from Pekin aro soave thirty coal mines, of which one is possibly worthy of the name. They are still being operated by the Chinese fm the way of their forefathers, which consists of making a slanting hole in the ground, into which a man crawls with a pick and a basket, such a method cannot carry the Shaft to any depth, end is utterly unable to cope with water. As a consequence, most of the mines have been filled with water for the past Century, and the coal is worth- less. One successful mine, managed by an Englishman, employs about 300 Chinese, who need constant super- vision to see that they do the work, to watch that they do not injure themselves in the machinery, and to keep them from walking off with the plant. The first lot of steel fittings that arrived was stolen, and all work had to be discontinued until a new supply could be obtain- ed from England. How to keep the men from steal- ing all the coal has been the diffi- cult problem. Now and then the neighbors came by night to "in spent" the works, and but for vigi- lance of two Sikh watchmen and three dogs many a morning would reveal a greatly reduced plant. Tho watchmen break their stinks over the heads of the interested neigh- bors, and the manager locates the offenders in the morning by the nature of their bumps. s A Simple and Cheap Medicine.— A simple, cheap and effective medi- cine is something to be desired. There is no medicine so effective a regulator of the digestive system as Parmelee's Vegetable Pills. They are simple, they are cheap, thoy can be anywhere, and their beneficial action will prove their re- commendation. They are the medi- cine of the poor man and those who wish to escape doctors' bills will de well in giving them a trial. THIS ADVENTUROUS LIFE. "Are you going abroad this sum- mer 1" "I can't tell.
