If you would_drees in good taste pay particular attention to shoes, gloves and veils, to niooty in the matter of neok- wear, and to trifles that give pretty fin- ishing touches to a plain costume. The woman who is dressed in good taste is not always the one who spends the most on her clothes, but, rather, the one who can afford so few frocks that she sticks to plain modes and colors best suited to her. The woman who will give a little thought to the matter of dress manages to spend little money and get better re- mits and service than the careless, in- different woman who is oontent to wear "just anything." A woman's gown is one of the in. dexes to her character. If for no other reason, it should merit careful consid- eration. HAVE YOU CATARRH. Breathe Hyomei and Relief and Cure Will Be Guarantee.

The hand of death lately has been laid upon many of the old settlers and pion- eers in Kincardine district, but the pass- ing of John Ballantyne last week moves one of the early pioneers of Huron Township and one of the most highly respected and esteemed men in the county of Bruce. The late Mr, Ballan- tyne was born in Roxburyehire. Scot. land, 70 years ago, and came to this country with his mother, sisters and brothers, his father having died in Soot. land when he was a young man. The family first settled near Smith Falls and later came west to Huron township, then just begini)ieg to be taken up by settlers. Deceased worked in Goderiob for a time and then joined his brothers about 1855, who had cleared a portion of their farm on the 4th concession. Here he remained until about six years ago when he retired and moved into Kin- oardine. His ability was of such a char• aoter that he was elected reeve of Huron township for the years 1814.5 6.7, and held among other positions of honor the Presidency of the Enron Agrionitural Society for a number of years. At the time of hie death he was president of the West Wawanodh Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance Oo, having held the posi- tion ears far several y past. He was a director of the company for 3$ years, In religion Mr. Ballantyne was a Presby- terian resbyterian and always took an active part in the eonded of the Weirs of the ohuroh, Ite with john Villas= was on the build. ing oommittee whioh crested the $ret Bresbyterien church at Pine River and None years litter when fire destroyed the edifice he was again on the committee appointed to rebuild, A NEW WHITE PAGE. THE WINGHAM TIMES MAY BRAIN AND BULLET, ---- Various Life Marks Seen By An Ob. servant Ma'n On the Fret Snow. When nature turns the first white page of winter for the record of her infinite activities her children are alert and ready to inscribe the varied stories of their personal exploits and ineanderings. Where the new snow slopes down in a cold, clean sheet to the curve of a hurrying stream a muskrat began the inscription with- out waiting for the guiding illumina- tion of day. His babylike feet have left a firm and regular double track of distinct impressions in the snow, and between these runs the groove of his snakelike tail. The now snow pre- serves the record of his early excur- sion, even to the crystal drops that fell from his close fur as he left the watev. He walked along the bank away from the stream for a short dis- tance, sat up to look about over the newly whitened landscape, made a few distinct impressions in the snow with his fore feet as if curious about the new covering the world had put on, and then returned by a longer route, taking tho water close to where he had emerged. There is dig- nity and deliberation in the trail of the muskrat, writes Mr. S. T. Woods, in The Globe. Beyond the high bank is a record so small and faint as to indicate help- less weakness, almost lost in the broad white expanse. A field mouse with short, hasty steps made his la- borious way for a few feet over the snow and disappeared under a small drift that concealed his further course. How big and impassable the world must have seemed to him when he floundered more than his depth in the little groove, while his tiny feet sank interniinable distances in the shallow snow ! In winter he may commit serious depredations by gird- ling fruit and other trees under the weeny, but his little track seems so helpless on the new page that he is almost forgiven in advance. A vag- ; rant cat has been abroad, and her round paws have melted their regud - lar impressions deeply and distinctly into the snow. This track moves along in a sheltering furrow and soon shows the record of a stealth crouch before a spring. A few feel away some §I,aty grey feathers complete the story. Jul'r coes have been hopping all about the place, and the long springing strides of the'. el�ift rush lead to where one chas'' been captured by the stalking n my. _' thers are fragments vanity. trage y. •s., w �, Beside the naked woods the trail of a leaping red squirrel has a much more cheerful aspect. He bounded along not in haste, hut in joy, his broadly separated hind. feet over- reaching 'the close twin'• marks of his foie .feet at every 'spring. From one large tree to another he makes his way, seeming to inspect , each and (hurry ' along. At the foot of a black oak t.the trail ends, oho*ing that the happy squirrel chose amore athletic bath among the branelies: ' In the closer woods' the tracks of a dog' . are scattered about with an ire regularity suggesting human influ- ences. Turning, doubling, crossing; 'and recrossing, his tracks lead about in bewildering uncertainty. The cause of all the excitement is disclosed by ,the clear, quadruple track of a cotton- tail beside a small vibirnum bush. The long leaps that threw the dog off the scent make this -trail difficult to follow. Cottontail was evidently in a hurry,udging by his long irregular bounds, but his separated hind feet point his direction. Where the shrub- bery is more open the dog finds his trail again, and both lead away to- ward the dark green cedars. Near a broken field a crow has stalked thoughtfully, etching his bold records along the white expanse. The scales of a pine cone scattered by a squirrel are littered about on the fresh snow. The new page is marked everywhere, but from the low, uncertain clouds the north wind scatters a feathery spray of snow as if to efface the re- cords of nature's handiwork and pre- serve the open expanse in its virgin whiteness.

What Happens When the Skull Is Pierced by a Shot. The results of firing a bullet at a. flat brittle bone and into a soft sub- stance like the brain are very different The bone is pierced, and the lateral die placement of Its particles is very slight, but the brain Is thrown aside In aU d . reetions, The difference Is due to the different degree of cohesiveness of the particles composing the two bodies or, In other words, to the greater fluidity of the softer structure. Next, the importance of fluid con- tents in intensifying the effects of a bullet fired through a closed recepta- cle Is shown by one of Kocher's expert. ments, Two Identical tin canisters were filled with equal quantities of lint, which in one was dry and in the other saturated with water. A bullet of moderate velocity fired through them simply perforated the dry one,, but caused the wet one to burst explosively. Kocher also filled a skull with water and found that a bullet fired through It caused bursting of the sutures. Very remarkable is the shattering that results when skulls that have been - filled with water or with wax are treated in this way, and if they are compared with others showing the ef- fects of bullet wounds nutter normal conditions it Is easy to appreciate that the variations presented are depend- ent, in part at least, upon the differ• euce in the character of the contents. - Current Literature. SPONGE FISHERS. The Greek Girl Divers of the Island of Himla. "We were cruising in the Mediter- ranean in the late fall," said a globe trotter, "and on a golden afternoon we stopped beside a little fleet of sponge divers. Nearly nude, the divers sat on the edge of the boat. They held big stones that would help them descend. One at a time they inhaled three or four long breaths and then plunged with their great stones into the blue water. "One boat interested us. Its divers seemed sograceful and young. We drew nearer, and, by Jove, the divers were all girls. They were young Greek girls from Himia, an island near Rhodes. It seems that in Himia the sponge diving is carried on by girls altogether. These girls seemed very expert. Their dark hair knotted on their shapely heads, they reclined on the sun warmed deck till their turn came. Then, graceful as stage dan- cers, they leaped overboard and in the sea's dim green depths tugged at the black sponge growths. "The captain saki the Himla girls were not permitted to marry till they bad brought a certain quantity of sponges from a certain specified depth." - Queer Chinese Belief. It is a common belief among China- men that if one commits any crime against certain animals -cats, for ex- ample -the soul of that animal will take possession of. the wrongdoer until the offense has been purged. A serv- ant girl, according to the oriental tale, unmindful of tradition, put to death a cat and its three kittens. She was taken violently ill. Her mistress, sus- pecting the cause from the fact that the maid was scratching and mewing, apostrophized the body of the dead cat, demanding to know why it thus tormentedThespirit the girl. spi t of the cat, speaking by way of the girl's mouth, denounced the quadruple mur- der, The whole story was told by the girl in the character of the cat. Then she expired in violent convulsions. Elephants Can Carry a Grudge. A Hindoo mahout was employed with a working elephant in Bangkok, Siam, and frequently used a steel goad in de- fiance of all warnings. The result was that his elephant made frequent at- tempts to kill him, and finally the man was discharged. Nearly four years afterward, by a most remarkable coin- cidence, both elephant and mahout met again in Maulmain, Burma, and no sooner was the big tusker out of sight of the sawmill aid well into the forest than he curled his trunk up backward, seized his old persecutor by the neck, hurled him to the ground, and in an instant a mighty forefoot had crushed out his life. Bewitched. Morrison, an English traveler of the seventeenth century, while at Dantzic, Prussia, says he "saw a mill which, without the help of human hands, did saw boards It had a great Iron wheel, which did not only drive the saw, but which did also hook in and turn the logs on to the saw." Dr. John Dee must have seen a similar mill at Prague. Of it he says, "I saw me a mill at Prague of ;which I verily be- lieve the devil himself was master." The Result. Magistrate -What!

One ease is that et a sixteen months old child who was cured of scald heal and another that of a woman cured of eczema on the faces, after her doctor had given up." What Moles Signify. According to an old authority a mole on the right oheek or right arm signifies happiness in love affairs; on the right hand, a happy marriage. A mole on the left cheek or left arm signifle adverse fortune, particularly as regards love affairs; on the left hand, an unfortunate marriage from a wordly viewpoint. Moles on the right cheek or arm, in c:mbination with ore or more cn the left hand, point to more good fortune in love affairs than in money matters. A mole on the chin, if it be light yel- low in color, denotes that a woman will be a good housewife; if brown in color, it portends a happy married life. A mole on the tip of the nose shows to a woman likelihood of much admira- tion and jealous lovers, in her dealings with whom she is recommended to ex- ercise great oantion and disoretion. A mole at the right hand oorner of the month is a sign of wealth; a mole at the left hand corner of the mouth, warns the possessor to beware of treachery and and a false lover.
