The Brussels Post, 1912-9-12, Page 7• 1l Fashion Hints n R-mwmwvbare SEEN IN PARIS SHOPS. Soft faille silk and silk and wool eoliennes are returning to fashion. • Extremely smart little frocks for children are trimmed with cross stitch. A tendency toward the old fash- ioned square cut, low necked gown is noticeable) in many of the models. For the seaside the ratine jacket is fashionable and serviceable. The reefers with white collar and cuffs are as popular as ever. The Russian affect in blouses fe quite new and becoming, and may bo made in allover embroidery, combined with filet lace. Soft rose, palest blue, and deli- cate lilacs are favorite blenclings in pannier frocks, White satin waists in semi -tailor- ed designs are in high favor. In some cases the waists are finished to wear outside the skirt. With white costumes, white boots or white pumps are worn, although the novelty pumps in combination of black and white are good. The figured gowns have skirts trimmed with ruchings of plain silk or satin. This is newer than the wide bands, which give solidity to a narrow skirt. Now coats for children show Nor- folk and Russian effects. Fancy Dollars of all kinds are frequently used to give a pretty finishing touch. Dainty scarfs are an absolute ne- cessity. They are of changeable chiffon cloth in rainbow tones, and are two and a half yards long and a yard wide. Handkerchief points in polka dot pattern make a very pretty trim- ming for a white wash blouse. The handkerchief points should form the sailor oollar and revers and ap- pear again on the sleeves. A feature of the new frocks is the use of sashes with short ends hang- ing down the side of the back. These sashes are mostly of the material or velvet ribbon, although a few were of Roman or oriental embroidery. The new nightgown made of lawn, naineook, French dimity, china silk, or crinkly crepe has but- terfly sleeves and a daintily pointed yoke, finely embroidered. The charmeuse and soft satin af- ternoon gowns have velvet panels, no wider than sashes and heavily embroidered. These hang from the waist to the bottom of the skirt, either front or back. For evening the hair is dressed flat and close to the head, and a large aigrette or beaded band with drooping ornaments is worn, or an arrangement of gauze that looks like a turban and trimmed with os- trich plumes. FANS FOR THE BRIDE. A bride does not carry a fan to the altar, but if the wedding takes place in warm weather, there should be awaiting her at the scene of the marriage breakfast or re- ception, an all white fan of hand - carved ivory or celluloid or of mo- ther-of-pearl having a hand -embroi- dered white silk spread. For other occasions she will need not only this fan, but several others. One of these might he of bamboo, having outside sticle that are lacquered and inlaid and a spread of hand - embroidered or beaded colored sat- in, another might be of hand -carved sandalwood, mounted with Ohinese embroidery and a third of colored gauze, heavily spangled and moun- ted over the slenderest of silver - coated wood sticks. Any sort of pretty fan is a nice present to send to a bride, especially if she is of the class likely to receive gifts of the practical workaday sort. TRYING KINDNESS TO INSANE French .Hospitals Ilave Abolished Nurses and Straitjackets. Straightjacket and other violent measures are being abolished at the great Hospital of Ste. Anne, Paris, France, on the retommendatfon of Dr. Mangin, a noted alienist con- nected with the institution, who proposed to revolutionize treatment of the insane. • In an address to the Academy of Medicine Prof. Mangin says it is a mistake to use force in the treat- ment of crazy people, even though they bo of a disposition to provoke violence. He advocates doing away with male nurses, holding that per- sons of unsound mind should be cared for by women, on account of their greater kindness towards pa- tients.. Dr, Mangin has put his theories into practice in his own wards in Ste. Anne, where 4,000 persons a year are treated for madness in one form or another. Instead of strait- jaOkets and solitary confinement the alienist advocates and is putting into practice what he calls "the bed cure"—that is, long hours in bed, with every opportunity for repose. Gentleness and patience, accord- ing to Dr, Margin, have already proved' at Ste, Anne's their supers - eviler over ieerahncss, particularly in miring cases of acute delirium fn maniacs and fever onffercrs, es well .as melancholia gid delirium trem '+dirt diebims. BABY'S GREAT DANGER DURING HOT WEATHER More little ones die during the hot weather than at any other time of the year. Diarrhoea, dysentery, cholera infaetum and stomach dis- orders come without warping and when a medicine is not at hand to give promptly the short delay too frequently means that the child has passed beyond aid. Baby's Own Tablets should always be kept in the home where there are young children. An occasional dose of the Tablets will prevent stomach and bowel troublee, or if the trou- ble comes suddenly the prompt use of the Tablets will cure the baby. Mrs. Adelore Ouillotto, St. Bruno, Que., writes: "My baby was trou- bled with his bowels, but Baby's Own Tablets soon set him right again." The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr, Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. ENGLAND'S MOUSE CLUB. Has Shows and Gives Prizes—Mice That Bring $35 Apiece. England has a National Mouse Club, which; 'has been in existence for seventeen years. After the club had started Lady Deoios became a successful exhibitor of prize mice and presented the club with a cup. The club owes its existence to a de- sire to promote the breeding and exhibiting of fancy mice and to do - fine preousely the true type of mice. It urges the, adoption of 'such type on breeders and judges as the only recognized standard by which mice are to be judged. Usually there are about a hun- dred members. The annual sub- scription is payable in advance but almost nominal in amount. It is arranged by the club that an an- nual club show .shall take place in addition to the two cup shows. The great annual show exhibits over 400 mine and the Woodiwiss cup, or rather Woodiwiss bowl, worth £10 e0s., is offered. Fourteen other cups are offered by the club for competition, says the Lady's Pictorial, including the Be 8s. Coronation Challenge cup. These trophies do not become the sole property of the winners, but are given up when required for forthcoming shows. In addition to the cups, certificates and medals there are small money prizes offered. "As poor as a church mouse" has become proverbial, yet aristocrats outside the church are sometimes Bold for £7. This was the price ask- ed for a Dutch mask mouse. Would-be breeders of mice need not be discouraged, however, at so high a figure, for it is unusual, and quite a good pair of self -colored speci- mens fit to show can be bought for ten shillings and a good pair can even be bought at five shillings. Masked varieties aro more expen- sive, as they are more difficult to obtain. One pound or £i 10s. is a fair price for a thoroughly good Dutch or "broken" exhibit. There are no slack 'times in the business of mouse keeping, though the average life of a pet mouse is only one year. There are no less than twenty varieties recognized of fancy mice, which suggest a liberal education to the student of color breeding and heredity. A mouse reaches maturity at the age of three and a half to four months, and 'sheds its first coat at ten weeks old, and its next coat at three months old, and again at the age of six months. As may be judged from the shows and prizes offered, a mouse has its points. The mouse should be in length from seven to eight inches Toronto Men Cured of Intolerable Itch Mr. J. I8. Hooper, Toronto.

MOUNTED FLEAS VALUABLE. Rothschild Collection Aids Fight on Bubonic Plague. Much fun was made some years ago when it was discovered that Ba- ron Rothschild, of Paris, had a man in his employ whose business it was to collect fleas. On one expedition to the Arctic regions this Roths- child employe incurred an expense of $5,000 merely to secure a full col- lection of the fleas found on the Arctic foxes. The Rothschild col- lection of fleas is the most complete in the world. Of what possible use are fleas mounted on cards and cards index- ed under long Latin Eames? It developed that in the search of the flea that carries the bubonic plague the Rothschild collection of fleas has been of great service.' The knowledge of fleas in the possession of Baron Rothschild's Ilea collector has thus been turned to the use of mankind. Thus, another of the fads of the rich has been used for the good of rich and poor alike. Absence of the Rothschild collection of fleas would not have rendered fruitless the search for the flea carrier of the bubonic plague germ from rat to rat and from rat to .man. But absence of that collection would have made the search of scientists longer. THE WAY OUT. Change of Food Brought Success and Happiness. An ambitious but delicate girl, after failing to go through ,school on account of nervousness and hy- steria, found in Grape -Nuts the only thing that seemed to build her up and furnish her the peace of health. "From infancy," she says, "I have not been strong. Being ambi- tious to learn at any cost I finally got to the High School, but soon had to abandon my studies on ac- count of nervous prostration and hysteria. "My food did not agree with me, I grew thin and despondent. I could not enjoy the simplest social affair for I suffered constantly from nervousness in spite of all sorts of medicines. "This wretched condition con- tinued until I was twenty-five, when I became interested in the letters of those who had cases like mine and who were getting well by eat- ing Grape -Nuts. "I had little faith but procured a box and after the first dish I ex- perienced a peculiar satisfied feel- ing that I"lied never gained from any ordinary food. I slept and rested better that night, and in a few days began to grow stronger. "I had a new feeling of peace and restfulness: In a few weeks, to my great joy, the headaches and nervousness left me and life be- came bright and hopeful. I re- sumed my studies and later taught ten months with ease—of course using Grape -Nuts every day. It is now four yeare since 1 began to use Grape -Nuts, I am the mistress of a happy home, and the old weakness has never returned." Name given by Canadian Postum Co., Windsor, Ont.

A notable volume in the way of a school text book is "The Story of the Earth and Its Peoples; a Geo- graphy Reader for Pupils in Form III. of the Public Schools," to be issued by the Department of Educa- tion in September. The fascination that geography has for any red- blooded schoolboy or schoolgirl permeates this book of over five hundred .pages of pictures and print. Not only is the geography of Canada presented at entertain- ing length and in appealing lan- guage, but the eountriee of the Bri- tish Empire are visited in imagina- tion by the writer. With his reader he follows the British drum beat round the world, and every British possession is vis- ited, and its outstanding character- istics are observed with the eye of the traveller who is well-informed, but who is not wearisome in impart- ing his information. The author takes his reader to every country in the world the same) way. But the outstanding feature, and one that all other geographical works seem to leek, is the perspective given the vmunit mind of the British Empire. When you want to clear your house of flies, see that you get Imitations are always unsatisfactory. across Canada is begun at New- foundland. The chapter on Terra Nova is headed "The Oldest British Colony." That on Nova Scotia is headed "New Scotland." The de- scription is profusely illustrated, and the illustrations are right up to the minute. The view of the beautiful Dundas valley allows the towers and cables of the hydro -electric transmission lines. Colored plates, including re- productions of some leading British painters, are scattered through the volume. Like the other text books and manuals of the Department it is being issued under the editorship of Dr. D. G. Goggin. The wonders revealed by the study of the phyeical geography of the earth are appropriately por- trayed in •terms simple and descrip- tive. Not the least charming fea- ture of this work is its price, 50 cents. The Nelsons are the pub- lishers, and Hon. Dr. Pyne recom- mends the volume for school librar- ies. e 5,x;3eer sawyt,c: MRS. RANJI SMILE. Miss Violet Ethel Rochlitz, of New York, gave up the Ohriatian religion for Mohammedanism when she married Ranji Smile, fifth son of the late Ameer of Beluchistan. The two will go to Delhi in Septem- ber to live. THE CAMEL'S PECULIARITY. The camel alone among animals doss not perspire with its entire skin. It perspires only in the back of the neck, and so when travelling in extreme heat does not require a continual supply of water in or- der to re.piace the moisture evapor- ated through the pores. A curious consequence of this ,singularity is the fluctuation, within 4 degrees, of the blood temperature of a healthy camel. That is a rise of tempera- ture of 4 degrees, which in a human being and in other mammals would be a sign of fever, is a normal func- tion with the camel. POOR FATHER.

Thousands of Picture Posteerds and Coupon Prizes Stolen. Thousands of picture postcards were stolen by a postman, who should have deliveredthem, and as a consequence he had to answer for hie misdeeds at Derbyshire (Eng- land) Assizes, The accused, Isaac Johnson, pleaded guilty. Mr, Buse- gard (for the Post Office) said that over 2,000 postcards weer) found at prisoner's house, the postmarks showing that the thefts had gone on since he was first employed six years ago, Accused did not seem to have made any money by his thefts. Either he was a collector of picture postcards or he was too lazy to deliver them, and took them home instead. Mr. Wood, postal inspector, said that inquiries put a different complexion on the case. Large quantities of parcels of lace antimacassars and plated goods sent by a soap firm as prizes for coupons had been traced to the pri- soner, who had sold many of them. The Judge :—"What he could not sell he collected. (Laughter.) His Lordship said that he thought at first it was a case of kleptomania, but now he knew that it was de- liberate, long -continued theft. The prisoner was sentenced to twelve', months hard labor. 5' ZAM-BUT{ AND OUTDOOR LIFE. Every tennis or ball player, every swimmer, every canoeist, everyman' or woman who loves outdoor life and exercise, should keep a box of Zam-Buk handy.

"I want him to wheel in my per- ambulator." "But you have several dolls." "Yes, but they are always getting broken when the perambulator tips over." An Easy Pill to Take.—Some per- sons have repugnance to pills be- cause of their nauseating taste. Parmelee's Vegetable Pills are so prepared as to make them agree- able to the most fastidious, The most delicate can take them with- out feeling the revulsion that fol- lows the taking of ordinary pills. This is one reason for the popular- ity of these celebrated pills, but the main reason is their high tonical quality as a medicine far the sto- mach. If, during courtship, a young man tells a girl that he's unworthy of her she doesn't believe it any more than he means it. Minard's Liniment Cures Distemper. KNOWS BETTER.

The Bowels Must Act Healthily. —In most ailments the first care of the medical man is to see that the bowels are open and fully perform- ing their functions. Parmelee's Vegetable Pills are so compounded that certain ingredients in them act on the bowels solely and they are the very best medicine avail- able to produce healthy action of the bowels. Indeed, there is no other specific so serviceable in keeping the digestive organs in healthful action. TWENTY LONG YEARS.
