Some very charming young women

fashion drawings.
Why in the world do 1 mothers dress
two children exactly alike, even if they
are twins?
Woman’s greatest pet among animals
is evidently man.
It' is the easiest thing in the world to
practice economy when you have no

Reductions in grass linens bring

Sidewalk dancing and ring games
are the diversions of the children stay-
at-home these summer evenings.
If you want to writé an’y unkind thing,
put it down in lead pencil. Then you
can erase it after you have read it.
Just when a woman feels most the
needs of a man’s sympathy is the time
whenshe generally gets the least of it.
It'.‘seems strange that a shabby suit of
clothes will go far toward convincing
the world that a man-"is ‘guilty 'of al‘.

——Every body Talks of the Klondike.
With the approach Of Spring and the
opening days of navigation and' trans-
portation in Alaska, the interest in the
wonderful gold mines of the Klondike
is increasing. Those of our readers
who contemplate the long journey,
should put themselves into communica—
tion promptly with The Joseph Ladue
Gold Mining and Development Com- .
pany of Yukon. This Company, which
has been organized by some of the
most prominent financie1 s of New York.
runs its line of steamers to Dawson
City via St. Michaels. It actually owns
some of the most valuable placer and
quartz mines in the Klondike. The
attention of our readers is called to a
tatement of the Company printed in
his issue. 1
. Fancy ' vark.
A very dainty bit of pick-up Work
:s the covering of yokes, guimpes, nar-
row vest-fronts, cuffs, and standing
collars of fine white ladies’ cloth with
French arabesque or vermicelli designs
1.;1 braiding, or merely edging them
with rows of very narrow gold gimp
or cord. When completed these can
be given to the dressmaker to com-
plate the bodice of the new spring cos.
tume of colored cloth. An imported
suit 01' this description is very expen-
sive. if finished in a. perfect manner,
beginning with the braided accessories,
1 most saustactory and not costly copy
can be made of these stylish and be-
coming gowns; but the dressmaker
must understand the tailors’-art or she
had better not attempt the making of
me costume. Some of the Paris mod-
LSHHLShed with these braided decor-
;tions have also revers of White satin

1 tiny edging of fur or a narrow frill

'l‘he \Vorld‘s Largest Flower.
Mil/us 1211 test flower of the world
\.s on the island of Mindanao one
oi the Philippine group. It was first
:Iisc ivered there some years ago by a
Norman explorer. It is a five-petalled
l-ltiSSUrIl nearly a. yard wide. At a dis-
tance 1he buds look like giant cabbage-
..eads. A single flower has been
h'nOWIl to weigh 221b. The natives call
it the hole. Specimens sent to Europe
were recognized to be of the species
Rafflesia, a plant discovered in Suma-
- tra, and named after the English Gov-
, ernor of that island—Sir Stamford Rat.-
ucs. The hole is only to be found in
the neighborhood of Apo, one of the
' highest volcanoes in the Philippines. 01

Norwalk is the Battlefield
LESS THAN WAR.
and the Fight is Waged
with Disease and
Death.
The foremost citizen of the world,
representing in his personality the
acme of Christian civilization, has just
died in intense agony in his English
home of a malady that had its beginn-
ing in catarrhal imfiammation of the
nasal passages In this country thous-
ands of men have met the same fate,
he end often clouded by insanity,
caused by the awful pain which noth-
ing but death can relieve.
But Catar1h, which, though existing
elsewhere, is so prevalent in America
that it is known as the national dis-
ease, after being long considered in-
curable, has finally given way before
advancing scientific achievement. The
test was made In Norwalk, and to-day
thousands of people from every part of
the city acclaim the success of Cali-
f01nia Catarrh Cure, and the remark-
able popularity of the medicine attests
the confidence the people feel. In
N011 walk it was tried and' 1n Norwalk it
was proved; and the 25 per cent. in-
crease in the general health of the city
is directly attributed, by those who
know, to the introduction and wide-
sp1 ead use of Califo1nia Catarrh Cure.
Its popularity is built upon such works
as this:
Mrs. A‘. B. Freeman, who lives at
8 Hanford place, says: “I have sufier-
ed a great deal with severe headaches
caused by cattar rh; my head was stud-
ed up and my th1oat also troubled me
greatly. I got a bottle of California
Catarr h Cure at Plaisted’s drug store,
and it has helped me very much in
every way; it has cleared my head and
keeps it clear, my throat is well and
my headaches have gone for good. I
must say it is a wonderful medicine and
I am glad to 11.ecommend it.”
Use C. C. C. for hay fever, head colds,
and all mucous diseases. All dealers,

The sailor tie,is the latest thing in
neckwear. It» has broad ends, which
ire so cut that they show the full pat-
tern of the silk. Very narrow turn-
iown collars of white linen are still
worn with dark cloth and satin stock.
Silk shirt waists are now made with
movable collars, cuffs and ties of dif-
ferent colors. The newest silk in
Paris is called flour miroir. It. has a
trace of mlrior velvet in it, and yet
with a. decided silk surface. Black,
has come into its own again, and
nothing is more fashionable for» the
skirts that , women are wearing with.
the fancy bodices; that they have by
no means given up wearing. The newest
thing in belts and stocks. is. a. collar-
band and waistband to match 02 velvet,-
plain or embroidered, passed through
slides of paste or jewels, .the neckband
being beneath a high medici collar.
White gloves are no longer so popular
as they were: pear-l gray and delicate
lawn are now the favorites.
