Few bonnets are seen just now, except in
the very dressy toilettes. They are of fine
Belgian straw, or nice straw, with small round
crowns, and turned up border, and curtains,
or else they are mere border, with no crown
or curtains, and with trimming put on at the
back. This trimming consists of very large
flowers, full-blown roses, almost larger than
any specimen in nature, water lilies, azeleas,
camellias, Spanish gasomme, thododendrens,
&c. Several kinds of fruit beautifully imi-
tated from nature, are also fashionable this
autumn. Large punches of black and white
grapes, plums, chestnuts, crab apples and
even pineapples are worn upon modern bon
nets, the latter cut in half lengthwise, with
punches of ewes at the top. For the winter
the chapeaux will be made much larger.

The age Of railroads and the telegraph gives
rise to fast living, and increases the desire
for making rapid tortunes-some wishing to
outstrip, and others TO be at least equal to
their neighbors. In order to keep up with
this eager and unequal contest, the brain is
taxed to its utmost power, while humanity is
rendered an easy prey to disease. The
Heart, Liver, Stomach, Lungs, or Nervous
System becomes afflicted, and sickness, in
the form Of Heart Disease, Jaundice, Dys-
pepsia, Bronchitis, Consumption, Paralysis,
or Mania, is the result. The use of FELLOWS
COMPOUND SYRUP OF HYPHosPHIrIs will en-
able the mind to sustain greater strain un-
fettered by conflicting thoughts and UNIV carried
by continued study. 1t imparts power of con-
centration. What before seemed difficult OF
solution becomes comparatively easy, and the
body is physically stronger under its use.
