BEEF brine is excellent for a sprain.
A piece offannel wet In brine and
bound on, will give almost immediate
relief. Borax and alcohol are very
good for extracting the poison from
otings and insect bites. A bit Of fan
mel wrung from alcohol In which is
dissolved bit of borax, and laid across
the chest, will give relief in severe
cases Of pneumonia. A cloth wrung
from warm water, bound around the
neck and covered with flannel, is ex-
cellent for inflammatory sore throat.
1t should remain on all night. This
will apply to Inflammation Of many
kinds. A single drop Of camphor on
lump OF sugar, repeated every fifteen
minutes, Is better than stronger doses
for severe attacks Of diarrh9a. Taken

charming things to do in Paris is to drive to the

ladies wear very bright coors which, alth ough
adding great IivelineSS to the scene, occasion
many glaring incongruities; the wearer OF a
perfectly harmonious and tasteful toilette is
Invariably ali American. The shops were never
more attractive than at present, and the mo-
distes are busy making preparations for the fall
season. Bonnets escape all rules more than
ever, and consequently also defy description.
Among the felt bonnets are found some in
shades to match the new dress fabrics viz: Vert
de Russie and bleu marine, the shapes being a
reproduction OF past ideas. The most popular
milliner at present Is PariSet. who sends some
beautiful designs to NJ. Williams fall opening.
