The left side and front fastening is still used oil the one-pieee dress. Some of the vests are beautifully embroidered in oriental colors. Many of the new long, dress sleeves are set on a long shoulder line. Evening bodices are often outlined with a line of strasa or rhinestones. Even when plaits are used one skirts the narrow outline is Pre- served. reserved. One-piece dresses of black China silk have collars and cuffs of white or bladre net. Turn back cuffs or Lace frills fin- ishing long sleeves are one of the most becoming of the new fashions. Some of the smartest suits being made up have fancy vests, often made separately. Vests to go with mannish tailored smite are strictly mannish style, with bone buttons. Chantilly and shadow laces com- bined make one of the prettiest ef- fects of the season. Mannish shirts of white satin are worn with the summer suits of white serge or ratine. Serge or charmeuse street dresses show plaits in many forms; also the favorite panniers, Small quantities of metal embroi- 'aeries appear on the more elabor- ate new fall suits. Fur trimmings in the shape of narrow bands, collars, and cuffs are already seen in Paris, Collars on some of the thin light dresses are so deep as to resemble napes and are often of embroidered batiste. Many slender skirts of accordion plaits are seen in Paris. Usually they are draped nearly to the knees and fall straight below. On semi -tailored waists in white a touch of color appears in girdles, buttons, vests and collars. Dark waists have white trimmings. Corsets are lower than ever in the bust, In fact, almost all the most recent models are practically girdle tops. Undergarments, such as combina- tions, skirts and nightgowns, are be- ing made of china silk or crepe de chine, white or delicately tinted. Some of the large hats are en- tirely covered with silk, loosely draped over crown and brim in such a way as almost to hide any definite lines. - Broadtail, flat caraeul, sealskin, moleskin, the new chinchilla squir- rel and ermine are used as narrow edgings on the dressier suits for the ,coming season. •F • JOHN AND JEANNIE. John and Jeannie went fur a walk one evening. After walking for some time in silence John ventured to remark ; "Jeannie, your eyes are like diamonds." . Jeannie—"Is that so, John?" (Pause). John—"Jeannie, your neck is like a swan's." Jeannie—"Ie that so, John ?" (Another pause). John—"Jeannie, your teeth are like the eters." Jeannie—"How do you make that out, John? I can quite understand my neck being like a swan's and my eyes like diamonds, but how do you make out my teeth are like the stars l" John—"Why, Jeannie, it's just because they come out at night." ONWARD AND UPWARD. We live but one life, we pais but once through this world. We should live so that every seep shall be a step onward and upward. We should strive to be victor:ons over every evil influence. We should seek to gather good and enrich- ment of character from every ex- perience, making our progress ever from more to snore. Wherever we go we should try to leave a blessing, something which .will sweeten an- other life or start a new song or an impulse of eheer or helpfulness in another heart. Then our very mem- ory when we are gone will be an abiding blessing in the world. RAPID PRINTING. . An Englishman has inveneed a machine that makes ,photographic prints from a negative at the rate of 1,800 an hour. The photographer feeds the sensitized paper into the machine; the machine brings it op- posite the negative, exposes it for the desired - length of time to the powerful light of a group of tungs- ten lamps, and delivers it to a car rying-tray; that takes it to the de- veloping and fixing -bath. The ma- chine will print negatives of any size up to sight by ten inches; it is treed mainly for printing commer 'tial pictures, finch as those on post cards and advertising matter, but portrait photographers who have trouble in making uniform prints have alao.foutrd it useful, It's diffiettlt kr a man to be tip - right after he ;.e down and out, GUARD BABY'S HEALTH IN THE SUMMER The summer months are the most dangerous to little ones. The nom - plaints of that season which aro cholera infantum, oolic, diarrhoea and dysentery come on so quickly that often a little one is beyond aid before the mother realizes he is really ill. Tho mother must be on her guard to prevent these troubles or if they do come on suddenly to cure them, No other medicine is of such aid to the mother during hot weather as is Baby's. Own Tablets. They regulate the bowels and sto- mach and are absolutely sale. Sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co„ Brockville, Ont. I�. SUPERNATURAL BEINGS. Some Superstitions of the Irish - Peasantry. It is still believed by large num- bers of the Irish peasantry that per- tain supernatural beings, which they call elves, exist, and that they sometimes visit the abodes of mor- tals. These elves are said to be but three or four inches in height; they may make themselves transparent or invisible at will; they are report- ed to dwell in beautiful under- ground grottoes, andeare supposed to play many mischievous pranks with human beings. - One of the customs attributed to the elves is that of coming down the chimney, or even through a key- hole, taking children away and re- placing them with witch -like babes, which are, therefore, called changelings. The rural parts of Europe, as well as of Asia, fairly teem with still lingering superstitions not a bit less absurd than that just mention- ed. In many Irish districts impli- cit belief is still give nto the exis- tence of a banshee, or female spirit of the household, Another supernatural being in Ireland is Chericanne, who reveals himself to mortals as a wrinkled old man and leads those whom he favors to find hidden treasures. A loss beneficent spirit is that of Phooka, a fierce demon, who hur- ries his victims to destruction across bogs and over yawning pre- cipices. Phooka takes many shapes, according to the superstition, but most often appears as an eagle or a black horse. In Scotland the belief in Kelpie and Brownie yet lingers in remote Highland fastnesses, and there are certain secluded districts in Eng- land, sunk in ignorance, where pea- sants may be found who are con- vinced that misfortune -working witches still live and work their malignant spells. It is leas than 40 years ago that a poor old French- man was outrageously maltreated in an English village because he was suspeotod of witchcraft. To this day„ many a Devonshire man and woman believe in the influence of the evil eye and will religiously shun a parson who is thought to possess this ocular deformity. Perhaps of all countries Italy is the most rife with superstition in all its strange and imaginative varieties. Italians believe in the evil eye. They have a false spirit, which is given to practical jokes on poor mortals, and a darker hob- goblin, the Feta Morgana, who draws youths beneath the waves ofi the Straits of Messina to drown. There is a certain walnut tree near Benevento, in Italy, around which the witches are said to gather on certair nights; and many a pea- sant of the Campagna believes that the witches assemble on midsum- mer nights amid the ruins of the IIIhpllillulI MRS.

News has been received in Lon- don from Abyssinia suggesting the presence in the Sudan of some ad- venturers who are arming and drill- ing tribes hitherto savage and un- provided with any weapons but the bow and spear. Large .quantities of rifles and am- munition have reached these tribes. The region chiefly affected is that between northern Uganda, the western border of Abyssinia and the southeastern corner of Anglo- Egyptian Sudan. The rifles are of French manufac- ture and stamped with the date 1876, but it is declared that many of them are in reality quite new. During the recent British opera- tions under Major Leveson against the Anuaks in the Sudan, wild and practically naked tribes were all found to be armed with similar rifles, which had replaced their traditional spears and shields. The savages had evidently been trained. They were clothed only in beads plus new bandeliers of car- tridges, and it was remarkable that words of command were heard to be given by Gallas and Arabs to savages who had never before shown any signs of discipline or training. HOW MANY OF US Fail to Select Food Nature De- mands to Ward Off Ailments? A Ky. lady, speaking about food, says: "I was accustomed to eating all kinds of ordinary food until, for some reason, indigestion and nerv- ous prostration set in. "After I had run down seriously my attention was called to the ne- cessity of some change in my diet, and I discontinued my ordinary breakfast and began using Grape - Nuts with a good quantity of rich cream. "In a few days more my condition changed in a remarkable way, and I began to have a strength that I had never been possessed of before, a vigor of body and a poise of mind that amazed me. It was entirely new in my experience. "My former attacks of indiges- tion had been accompanied by heat flashes, and many times my condi- tion was distressing with blind spells of dizziness, rush of blood to the head and neuralgic pains in the chest. "Since using Grape -Nuts alone for breakfast I have been free from these troubles, eagept at times when I have inclulgniqn rich, greasy foods in quantity, then I would be warned by a pain under the left shoulder blade, and unless I• heeded the warning the old trouble would come back, but when I finally got to know where these troubles ori- ginated I returned to my Grape - Nuts and cream and the pain and disturbance left very quickly. "I am now in prime health as a result of my use of Grape -Nuts." Name given by Canadian Post= Co., Windsor, Ont.

The time has at last come when King George can settle down for a few weeks to the quiet life he would always lead if he could master his own destiny, No other English mon- arch has identified himself to the same extent with the life and labor of the people, nor received more sympathetic aid from his consort, especially during the painful inci- dents connected with the colliery disaster at Denaby, which occurred during their stay in Yorkshire, writes a London correspondent. Before the royal Family settles clown at Balmoral, Princess Mary will be eonflrmed as an official mem- ber of the Church of England by Canon Edgar Sheppard, sub -dean of the Chapel Royal. The rite will be administered in private by the Archbishop of Canterbury. Side by side with the preparation for this step, Princess Mary's edu- oatien in other directions has been proceeding apace. She has had les eons in sculpture from her great- aunt, Princess Louise, Duohese of Argyll, and is already most expert with her needle, Her great profi- ciency, however, is in the art of reading, and at Balmoral, as else- where, her services in this direction will be requisitioned to read the newspapers aloud to her parents at breakfast time, .falle has now com- meneed to study Italian,. as her knowledge of French and German is excellent. —.I.--- SHE KNEW.

While the privately owned wood- land of Russia is being annually re- duced in area, the extensive State forests, generally less accessible and farther away from well-devel- oped trade routes, are but gradual- ly being brought into use, and for a long time to come they will con- tinue a welcome and important re- serve timber supply for the world. In round numbers these forests cover 937,000.000 acres, a fair pro- portion of which is well stocked. The increasing utilization of the State forests is shown by the growth of gross receipts therefrom. In 1885, the gross receipts amount- ed to $7,176,010; in 1890, $9,486,- 300; 1895, $14,915,945; 1900, $28,- 838,455; 1904, $31,132,780; 1909, $34,343,290; 1910, $38,610,580; 1911, $42,526,810; yet even this last total is only aout 24 kopecks per deasia- tine (12 cants per 2.7 acres). Much of the timber apportioned for cutting cannot be placed. This remains standing and harms the new growth, Measures are now contemplated for bringing this tim- ber into the world's markets. Roads will be made and over 1,000 new officials will be added to the staff of foresters, and many more keepers. Much is also intended to be done for the improvement of the condition of the forests. SIR IIIRAM MAXIfli THE INVENTOR WHAT WE WASH WITH. One of the few inventions that are not ascribed to foreign ingenu- ity is that common household arti- cle,rwoap. It is said that the an- cient Britons were the first makers of soap, and that the Romans, when they conquered this island took the invention hack again with them to Italy, .Most of what we wash with is made from fat, but abroad their are natural soaps. There is the soap -root of Spain, the soap -berry of Chili, and the bark of the Peru- vian soaip-tree. At a little town' in Mexico, soap actually takes the place of copper coinage] In an- other part of the same South American Republic the inhabitants eat soap, finding much nourishment therein. The French term for soap, "seven," by the way, owes its ori- gin to the town of Savona, in France, where vast quantities of the material were formerly manu- factured. ED. 4. ISSUE'88—'12 ODD FACTS ABOUT SLEEP. Caused By Withdrawal of Blood From the i3rain. All the organs of life rest in some way or other. The heart has an in- terval of rest between each com- bined act of contraction and expan- sion and the beginning of a fresh act. Between each expiration of the lungs and theeuceeding inspira- tion there is a period of repose. Physiologists have calculated that the heart repuses during one-fourth of the time, Certain of the other organs suspend their activity in part during sleep. Old physiolo- gists supposed that sleep was caused by the pressure of the blood on the brain. But modern physio- logy, with atendency to regard the brain as the origin of all force and of all functions of the body, inclines to the view that sleep is caused by a withdrawal of blood from the brain. A curious trait has marked men of large brain—that of sleeping at will. Bonaparte used to throw himself on the ground and go to sleep within a space of two minutes. Pitt was a sound sleeper and slept night after night in the House of Commons, while his colleagues watched the debate and roused him when it was necessary that he should speak. WONDERFUL PROGRAMME.. Great List of Special Attractions for the C. N. E. The programme of special attrac- tions for the Canadian National Ex- hibition has just been issued. It is featured by the Imperial Cadet Review and Competitions with representative corps." from all parts of the Empire, and the two famous bands from England, the Scots Guards Band and the Besses 0' Th' Barn Band, but these are a small part of the programme. There is enough vaudeville for half a dozen ordinary shows, a historical spectacle, the Siege of Delhi, sixty numbers of Imperial fireworks nightly, Wellington's Zouaves, the Cadet Tatoo, Motor Boat Races, Swimming Races, War Canoe Races, Athletic Meet, Baby Show, etc. It is a truly wonderful programme. ,p It was at a charity dinner. A careless waiter spilt a plate of soup over onelof the clergymen present. "What—" he began. Then re- membering himself he turned to his neighbors and asked—"Will some layman kindly say a few words appropriate to the occa- sion ?" A Standard Medicine.—Parme- lee's Vegetable Pills, compounded of entirely vegetable substances known to have a revivifying and sa- lutary effect upon the digestive or- gans, have through years of use at- tained so eminent a position that they rank as a standard medicine.

According to a new Swedish sys- tem of makingV use of peat, the ma- terial is powdered finely and blown into the furnace by a fan blast, and the dust is oonsumed while in the air. The advantage of this method is that the degrees of heat may be easily and quickly adjusted by regulating the amount of peat pew - der delivered into the interior of the furnace.

Its Virtue Cannot be Described.— No one can explain the subtle power that Dr. Thomas' Eclectrio Oil pos- sesses. The originator was himself surprised by the wonderful quali- ties that his compound possessed. That he was the benefactor of hu- manity is shown by the myriads that rise in praise of this wonder- ful Oil. So familiar is everyone with it that it is prized as a house- hold medicine everywhere.
