The Wedding Bona
It is carious to see how, the hour
of ties ceremony Imo fluctuated with-
in the last two dcaaelee. Up till the
Act of 1886 11.30 was the
tellable hour for a 'wedding. Two

the( function became more elabor-
ate, awl inore preparation was iteed-

hoer, and the ebrealifast" waa cut
temp to shortest possible dime:aeons.
At the present day there is only
one time at welch to be married],
lialf-paet two, an hour whielt admits
or a light lunch being partaken of
before the ceremony, anti le gener-
ally found most couvenient. For a
"quiet" wedding, ht svhiele only re-
lations, attend, and the bride Is mar-
ried in her "going -away" dress, half -

1 A SILK DINNER

It is the silk dinner gown which
Is to be the particular dress of the
winter. The new, silks have been
robbed of their stiff stateliness and
are boar just suited to the making
of pretty costumes.
The tendency togard the costume
dinner gown is ma* and more, pro-
nounced. The woman who has half
a dozen dinner gowns will be sure
to own at least one tvhich shall look
almost as though it were a fancy
dress.
Se Wide is the variety in the dinner
gowns that it may be a Louisiao
costeme; it may be a Du Barry ; it
may savor of the Elizabethan days,
or it may be a modern dress with
adaptations' of the Victorian moles.
All these are strictly conventional
and the most conservative of dames
teen Wear them without departuee
from the fashions of the day.
at is a rortnnate thing that one has
such a Wide choice of dinner gowns
for the dinner table is, certainly muoh
improved thereby. Where once the -
tetaidest of dresses were noted now
here a range which permits not
only of a color display, but which
allotas individual fancy to run riot
and 'which bringe into play some his-

Origin of the Women.
According to a. Modem legend,
this is tbe proper origen of woman:
Twarehtri, the god Vulcan of the
Medea pnythology, ereated the
world. But on his commencing to
create woman he discovered that
, with' man Ito had exhausted all his
creative materials, and that not
one solid element ead been left.
Th'is, of course, greatly perplexed
Twasbtri and caused him to fall in
a profound meditation. Virhen he
arose from it he proceeded as fol.
lows. He took
The roundness of the moon.
The undulating curves of ehe ser-
pent, •
The graceful .twist of the creep-
ing plant,
The light eldvering of the greet;
blade and the slenderness of tlio
The velvety softness of the flow-
ers,
The lightnese of the feather,
The gentle gaze of the doe,
The frolicsomeness of the danc-
ing sunbeam,
'The tears of the cloud,
The inconstancy of the whit],
The timidnese of the hare,
The vanity of the peadock,
The hardness of the diamond,
allee sweetness of honey,
The cruelty of the tiger,
The heat of the fire,
The chill of the snow,
The cackling of the parrot,
The cooing of the turtle dove,
All these he mixed together and
termed Woman.
Then he presented her to the
man.

a weleenown resident of St. jer-

reporter of LeAvenir dts Nora, offers
strorig proof of the value of Dr.
Williams' Plnk Pals in cases of this
kind. Mr. 11,001E0a° says : "For near-
iy tbree yea.re I was a great suf-
ferer from rheumatism. The pains
seemed at times to affect every
joint, and the agony I endured was
terrible, Semetimes I could scarce-
ly move about, and was unfitted
for work. The trouble affected my
appetite and in this way my weak-
ness increased and my condition
'became more deplorable. I tried a
number of remedies, but nothing
helped me until I was advised to
take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and
then relief came. Gradually the
pains left m.e, my appetite improv-
ed aed I 'became greatly strength-
ened. Before I had taeen a dozen

such that I Solt better than •I did
before the trouble began. I have
not since had an ache or pain, and
I feel convinced that Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills are the best medicine in
the world for rheumatism,"
Dr. :Williams' Pink Ms are sold
in every eivilized land, and their
enormous sale is due entirely to
their great merit as a medicate.

-HEARD BY ALL COURTS.
Trivial Suit That H1119 Occupied the
t Attenion of Many Judges.
Mere is now, in the United atates
Supreme Court for the, second time
a suit that has become famous be-
cause or the persistence of the par-
ties concerned a,nd the small sum In-
volved. , Eleven years ago a young
maa in the employ of the Wabash
Railroad Company resIgned, and his
resignation was accepted. Bis
month's wages was not paid, and he
brought suit for them in the court
of a St. Louis justice of the peace.
He wan given judgment fom $81.08.
The eompany took an appeal to the
'circuit oourt of the city, but was
again defeated. Then it carried the
cave to the supreme court of the
State of Mls,souri, which affirmed
the decielons of the lower eourte.
There in the oontention of the corn-
peny that the courts of Missouri had
failed to recognize the acts of the
oourts of a sister state, it was
taken to the eupreme court of the
United Statue Other coanplieatIons
came in through attachment pro-
ceedinge by a creditor of the plain-
tiff against the road, ,
After the case had been on 'the
docket of the kerpreme court for a
year a decieion was handed down
nefirming the decisions of the Mis-
souri courts. Teen a bill of inter-
pleader vette put in by the company
and a demurrer to the bill by the
e,ttorney for the pla,intiff. For a.
second time the case came before the
et. Louis court of appeals, to still
bq decided againat the company. An -
*other motion for a hearing in the

WELL MERITED GROWTH.
'Among the publieatione that came
to burr exchange desk this week is
that little annual messenger, Doad's
Almanac, published by The Dodds
Medicine Co., Limited. This is its
eighth annual appearance, and its
growth in tee estimation or the pub-
lics •is attested by tire fact that in.
the eight years of its life its circle-
la.tion hare grown from' thousands to
mama millions, and that it Is now
printed in many languagee and is
found in almost every English-speak-
ing home as well as in nearly every
quarter Of the civilized world.
Dodd's Almanac differs somewhat
from other publleations of the kind
in that lt is filled from cover to
comet -with useful information. Tee
data, weather indications, eta, are
prepared by expert scientists and
have established a reputation for ac-
oaraeY, while the antiquated joke
that alias made the ordinary almanac
• byeword i9 banished from; its col-
leges, whIca are filled instead with
simple straightforward talks on the
allege erf health and interesting ac -
collets Of some of the various cures
that :lfave been accomplished by
Dorld's Kidney Pille and Dodd's l)ye-
pepsin. Tablets.%
And it might be remarked here that
people who are prelate to overlook
seek reading simply because the cures
axe the work of what they call a
proprietary medicine, devote emelt)
of their time to gorging their minds
svith le,ss interesting, fess wonder-
ful and fur lees truthful matter.
This in simply another exemplifica-
tion of the general tendeneav to
dodge that which is pseful in tha
wAy of reading matter.
mit aside from its valtions a book
of reference to the healthy and eick
alike, Dodd's Almanac is a wonder-
ful evidence ot how an enterprise wIll
flourish 'when it is founded on merit.
As1 the circulation. of Dodd's Alumnae
hes growri from, thousands to rata
lione. so has the domain. of Dotid's
Kidney Pills extended. Eleven years
ago they were plazed on the mar-
ket in Toronto, after years. spent in
the investigation of Kidney Disease
and, ite eure had led to their discov-
ery. Tbey had their own way to
make, alal they made, it. Ws, one man
or woman was benefited by them he
or she told. another. Their fame has
spread till it -covers one continent
and has made inroads into eVery
civilized country in the world, and
The Dodds Medicine Company has
grown into one of the largese con-
cerns' of itt. kind, and eve might even
say one of the largest influences for
good on the American continent. And
all We immen.se earueture has been
built by the hands of tbose whom
Doada Kidney Pills have raised from

are donning the lovelleat of fur

with ends remelting nearly to the
hem of the gown. The favorite fur
for them. at this moment is the "petit

fur of the back being arranged for
the outside, with the paler shade as
a lining; ermine and.zniniver run it
very close, and are occasionally as-

tinct feature, and consisting of

with a ;bower of' ehains and balls
(or tassels) depending from them,
others have claaps of beautiful
"nouvean art" workmanship. The
m•arabout boas tnixee with' petals are
also well worn, but are rather fra-
gile for this work -a -day world, they
aro exceedingly becoming, however,
especially in snowy white, with a
flat muff -to' match. I see
muffs and boas ma.de also in gst-
thered silk net or tulle, very full

Here is given. a little in-
formation as to how a come
cover may be made out of handiter-
cbiefs. We &re indebted to another
reader who signs herself "M. S." for
the foliosving, which she says has
proved moet satisfactory:
Nothing quite so serviceable and
dainty, in corset covers has appeared
in many years, as those made from
handkerchiefs. You can make jukit
as fine once as those sold in the
Paris shops, at about oae-tenth the
coet. You will require four handker-
chiefs, six yards valonolennes lace,
three yards insertion to match
three yards beading and six yarde
baby ribbon, and shade. First whip
the four handkerehiefe together,
opening below aeoue three or four
inches. Whip on insertion at top,
then fill on lace, coming down to
belt in front. Sew on bettelng be-
tween insertion and lace at top,
Make shoulder straps with beading
the length required, 1111 lace on
both edges. Slip on form. Measure
length of waist. Sew on beading for

have a pretty cover that will pay
you for yOur trouble.
