MONTREAL. February Is, 1877.
To WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN:
Mr.. w. E. Chester, of Montreal, hav-
ing had for some time Insurance Poll
cies for considerable amount in our
Company, and we, in consequence, hav-
ing kept ourselves advised as to the
state of his health, it IS within my per-
sonal knowledge that he became seri-
ously affected with Asthma and Bron-
chitis in the year 1874-so much so
that his life was despaired of by his
physician and friends.
1t is also my belief, from informatio n
not only from himself, but others, that
he has cured himself by the use of his
remedy, now known as "Chester's
Cure" and that is now fully recover
ed and considered one of our best risks.

whom it is addressed written, in gold, OIL the

At ono opulent dinner table all the glass
was of that pale green tint which looks SO

At Il pink dinner for a rosebud the whole
table was couleur de rose; glass, china and
table cloth were all of roseate complexion.
The pink lamp shades and pink roses, the rib
bons and pink damask cloth, made for once a
pretty novelty. Pink fans, of course, accom-
nonied this pink dinner. This was given to a

tan contemporaries informs all eager in

after dinner; that the proper thing is to
throw it with negligent disregard on the
table beside the plate, as to fold it would be
a reflection on the host, and imply a tamil
iarity that would not betif an invited guest.
But the thoughtful reader will agree with Us
that this studied disorder is likely to be a
good ddeal more trying to the fastidious
hostess that an unstudied replacing of the

The Charms of California Widows,

The number Of youthful widows who
grace the promenades is q subject of sur.
prise to the stranger in the city. No statis-
tician has ever compiled figures bearing
upon this question of tie early bereavement
of California ladies But that there is a
surprising frequency of blooming young
women clad in weeds of woe is apparent to
every observer The same remark does not
apply to the cemeteries The widows who,
bearing water-pots and wreathes of immor-
telles, traverse the melancholy highways of
the city of the dead are for the most part
saiddleaged women Occasionally young
1noHrner is seen in the group. but only oc:
casionally The great majority of young
relicts appear in the trappings of grief upon
the streets
The fascination this class Of females have
for the other sex is incomprehensible, but
there can be no doubt of its existence. Men
who rarely turn to look after pretty maid
or matron will almost disiocate the neck in
peering along the wake OF a sable-clad
widow. They are dangerous class of per-
Sous because the history of humanity shows
that the woman who buried husband while
she is yet between the ages of IS and - will
usually plant another to keep him company
before settling down to final matrimony or
final widowhood. Maidens have poor
chance in the race with widows To use
sporting phrase, in nine cases out of ten the
widows will give them odds and beat them
Out Lean widows are all exception in this
state, and plumpness the rule
IN the east a California widow is the
terror of society, because, added to the
attraction of widowhood, is the glamour OF
eriipes and beaanzas So tho fair mailsDs

Statistics of Suicide.

The English journals contain an abstract OF
an interesting paper read before the Statis'
ticai society, by DR.. w. Ogle, on "Suicides
IL England and Wales i'll Relation to Age, Sex,
Season and Occupation" The proportion OF
suicides is II annually per 100000 persons
living. The suicide rate increases rapidly
until after middle life, Eut,- III the more ad-
vanced age periods, again diminishes. The
maximum rate is in the 55-G5 years period,
when it reaches PSI per 1,00O,O00 The male
-ate is far higher than the female, with the
exception of the period between 10 and ~
years of age, when the female rate is sllg ghtly
in advance. The occupations in which
:uicide rates are lowest are those which
imply rough manual labor, carried on
mostly out of docts; The occupations
with the highest suicide rates are those
which are Sc dentary, like the learned profess
sions, and also such as notoriously LEAD to IN
temperance. As regards farmers, suicides
nearly doubled in the two years 1S79-SO, when
agricultural distress was most acute; and SIM
ultaneously with this rise in their suicide rate
there was a corresponding rise in their regis
tered bankruptcies. The amount Of suicides
varies with the seasons, forming regular
annual curve, of which the minimum is in
December and the maximum in June. The
commonest method of suicide is hanging; then
follow III order drowning, cutting or stabbing,
poisoning, shooting. Women, however, select
drowning before hanging, and poisoning be-
fore cutting or stabbing. Women take any
poison indifferently; neil choose painless and
sure preparations. The choice of method is
a-so affected by age, the young showing a
&C Imperative preference for drowning, poison
ir, and shooting; by occupation, men prefer
rtys the instruments of their trades; by sea-
SOL, drowning being avoided in cold months.

Ne1Y Dress Goods

Nearly all wcolen fabrics are called veil
ing or etalnine. The plain goods is yelling,
and the fancy material etamine. They are
combined in one suit, as heretofore. All
colors are to be wol7,, but the various shades
of beige promise to he most popular. Both
plain and rich suits are of worsted etamines
in open work. The distinction is made be-
tween simple and elegant styles by the man.
ner in which they are lined. For instance, a
fawn-colored etamine, lined with cherry or
reddish gold silk, makes most snowy toilet.
Pretty tissues in round open network are of
coarse tulle, with satin or pain stripes.
There are also etamines with velvet stripes,
Joined by woven piece in open work. A
dark moss-green material of this kind has
bands of velvet about two fingers wide.
The open work is about half this width,
with stitching Of ruby -colored thread 17i2-
ming through the center. Another style is
dark navy blue in open network, crossed
with stripes in relief in Turkish style, COM
plising two shades Of red, white, green, blue,
and little yellow. Breton costumes will be
seen in these goods. Tile striped bands serve
for trimmings.
