AN OPEN LETTER FROM DETROIT.
To All Afflicted With Asthma and Catarrh:

After many years Of extreme suf-
fering with these diseases they were
pronounced incurable by the best
physicians, and that could not live
six months longer in that condition.
| called and tried your Smoke Ball.
| have used it four weeks. My
cough has almost ceased. | sleep
well Of nights My appetite is good;
have gained 161 pounds. | wish
that you could have seen my condi-
ton before using this Carbolic
Smoke Ball and now. 1t has saved
my life, and | cannot say too much
for it. Respectfully,
CAPT. THos. D. ALLEN,
SO Perry street.

Odds and Ends:

Plain velvets are more fashionable than the
brocaded for dressy wraps.
Large hoop earrings are in Roman finish New
designs are loops set with diamonds.
Ivory hairpins are crowding out the tortoise
which have so long reigEed in the fashionable
head.
Costumes of corduroy are quite in vogue this
winter, especially in golden-brown and dove
gray shades.
Mink fur is used to trim dresses of brown
cloth or camel's hair that are the tint of the
lightest tone in the fur.
Cape coats are universal for misses, and plaids
or stripes the style of material. Very little fur
is used, the boa taking place of such trimming.
Butterfly bonnets are made of jetted lace wired
so that 1t stands out like wings The trimming
is simply upright bows of colored velvet. There
are no strings
Collarettes made of several varieties of fur
and tied around the neck with a ribbon bow. fit
ting almost as closely as the collar of the dress
are sold by English dealers.
Basques of velvet are once more fashionable
Many otherwise serviceabe costumes, with half
worn cosages, may be made as good as new by
the addition of these basques.
French milliners, who are supposed 60 be the
highest authority upon the subject say that it is
recognized rlle that bonnets shall correspond
IN hue either with the mantle or the gown with
which it is worn.
Stringless bonnets should always be accom-
panied by delicate mask wells. Jetted net wells
are worn with jet millinery and plain and pearl
dotted wells are seen upon bonnets and English
walking hats of velvet or felt that are velvet
trimmed.
1t is an excellent plan to line cloth Jackets
with plain surah (which now comes for the pur-
pose at the low price Of 60 cents a yard, this of
firm quality and wearing excellently.) This
done, the coat slips on easily over all materials
alike. The struggle to get into a close-ftting
jacket, when not silk-lined is frequently pro.
comfort when finally the garment is on.

A CIRCULATION WORTH HAVING.
Mammoth Work of Mailing Papers for Boys
and Girls

Mammoth Work of Mailing Papers for Boys
and Girls.
Boston Post
Speaking of newspaper calculations, l was in
vlted the other day, into the building, on Pearl
street. where the Youths Companion is pub
lished. The marvelling chronicier of 1903 would
have stood aghast at the sight of eleven presses
any one Of them mechanical colossus COM
pared with the presses which printed the 80, 900
daily papers published in his day, and easily
capable of printing in day the entire circula-
ton OF all the London papers in 1803-running
constantly upon a single newspaper. and that
one published for boys and girls. 1t is rather
surprising sight even now and the folding and
mailing process is decidedly interest
ing. The Companions circulation is so
widespread that 1t takes a week to mail a single
edition, and all the subscribers in the United
States get their paper on about the same day.
The 1000 papers that go to Washington Terrific
~, for instance, are started first of all, and the
$500 for Oregon and the 10 900 for California
follow them quickly, while the 30 500 for Massa-
chusetts bring up the rear. 1t was an odd cir
cumstance to me that the Youths Companion
has larger circulation in illinois than in any
other State in the Union, namely, $4,000 Iowa
takes %, 600 and New York Is, 500. The circula-
ton dwindles pretty quickly when Mason and
Dixon's line is crossed and there is no good reas-
on for that, since the Companion does not take
sides in party politics
Every one of these papers is folded by hand
to insure the sitting out of imperfectly printed
copies, and great many women and girls are
employed to fold with marvellous dexterity the
great edition. The moving about Of all these
papers is managed upon wheels, however, and
the marking of the copies for the mails is as
sisted by ingenious little machines. I have
vague recollection of large number of tons OF
type used for printing these names for the mail
ing list. but l am poor hand at figures and
must confne myself to general statement that
the figure is an enormous one All the business
of this remarkable paper is done on a similar
scale of magnitude and the publication Offices on
Temple place are like a great warehouse.

The Theater Bonnet.

Boston Tranuscrpt.
The Theater Bonnet is the "iatest agony"-a
small cap-llke bonnet. often in the Marie Stuart
shape. and made of lace or u network of pearl
and jet beads over color. A milliner on the
Back Bay has recently made some to go to
Washington from French model, and has fitted
out several ultra-fashionable women with
theatre bonnets.H No women can longer plead
that she is compelled by fashion to obstruct the
view The best millners are putting trimmings
higher than ever for the street and showing the
theater bonnet as the --latest wrinkle" Ore

A Dentist and a Prince.
Sheffield Independent,


A curious little story was told me illustrative
of the snobbishness of London society and of the
real kindness of heart in the family of the Prince
of Wales. There is in London an American
dentist who is very skillful in his profession,
ard, among other people, has attended the
Princess of Wales He was invited to one of
the annual garden parties at Marlborough
House, and met there nearly fifty of his patients
They cut him to a man. Soon after he found
himself face to face with the Prince and Prin-
cess, and they at once gave him the most cordial
reception and shook him warmly by the hand.
At once every one of she fifty patients pressed
up to the lucky dentist, and shook hands with
equal warmth.

Relations of Stanton, Lincoln and Mcclellan.
Washington Special to New York Herald
What General Mcclellan has to say in his
memoirs touching Mr. Stantons virulence to-
ward Mr. Lincoln and his administration, before
he became member of it. invites no denial from
those familiar with the men and their times
Mr.. Stanton had rufied Mr.. Lincoln's profession
al feelings in law case at Cincinnati few years
before the war. Mr.. Lincoln had scorned to
spare the English language in painting his con-
ception of Mr.. Stanton before some of the lat
ter's friends upon that occasion, and Washington
was not large enough in 1861 to hold the two,
without bandying of the old bitterness between
them through the superserviceable agency of
mutual friends. AS they parted in the court
room at Cincinnati so they met In the White
House at Washington. so far as personal senti-
ment was concerned, when the new Secretary Of
War made his frat call upon the chief of the ad.

How 90 Purify the CITY water.
One great source of annoyance to resi-
dents of Los Angeles is the muddy water
which often comes from the city reser-
voirs. 1t is not pleasant to place on
your table glass pitcher full of water
Of deep brown color and, however at
tractive and valuable Los Angeles real
estate may be it will be generally agreed
that 1t is not desirable for internal con-
sumption. Many devices, filters. etc.,
have been tried to purify the water, but
one shown HERALD reporter at Parma
lees Bazaar, l08-ll2 North Main street,
seems to fully meet all requirements
and solve the problem. 1t is known as
the Gate City Stone Filter, and is sim
pie, ingenious, inexpensive continuance
which is endorsed by prominent physi-
clans everywhere, and fully clears the
water, not only from mud, but from
many more serious impurities. 1t is
something every head of a household
should examine for it has been clearly
shown that typhoid fever, dysentery,
diarrhea and other zymotic diseases are
chiefly caused by impure water. 1t is
easily kept as clean as an ordinary water
pail. The filter is made in two parts;
the base is reservoir or cooler for
holding the filtered water; the top tits
into the base like cover and holds the
filtering stone. 1t is the best filter by
all odds ever shown in this city.
