Although arrangements have not been per-
fected, the novelty Of a funeral without a
corpse to bury will probably be witnessed next

II never was so disappointed in my life as
in the working women of Paris" remarked
one lady-American, of course. II had
heard so much about the taste of Paris, that
thought even the shop girls and women in
the streets would show it in superior neatness
and style in their clothes. but they don't
look as nice as the working women we see ut
home Another lady SAID: II am so disap-
pointed, always thought of Paris as a sort
of glorified city, where everything would be
found that was most beautiful | have only
been here two days, 1t is true, but have
been to the Bon Marche and the shops of the
Louvre, and was not tempted to buy in the
least" Naturally, two DAYS were not much
in which to discover the beauty of Paris, nor
see the shops of the Bon A.arche and the
Louvre, tho places in which to find the costly
novelties that confer the prestige Of supreme
fashion and taste upon a city
There is, however. an immense difference
between the Paris of today and the Paris of
even ten r. fifteen years ago. Then the
working woman mad not begun to adopt tho
prevailing style. They had a neat and prac-
teal dress of their owl-not the peasant
dress-but simpls in construction and free
from cheap trimming and attempts at "drap-
cry" Now their dress is cut after paper Pat
tern modes, is cheapy furbclowed and soon
looks shabby The trim neatness and accur-
acy of cut has given place to attempts at
fnery. which cannot he renewed often
enough for cleanliness and which marks the
decline in taste, which has been neglected or
not cultivated il TIL right direction.
There Is now little of originality, for there
is no one to stimulate or pay for experiment
tai efforts such as are needed for the develop
ment OF original and beautiful ideas cvea in
dress. The Ct Of the French dressnaker is
still the best in the world; but it would cease
to be so II it were not for her Russian, Amer
lean, English AMI German customers. Jenny

The modes of deaths approach are various,
and statistics show conclusively that more
persons die from diseases Of the Throat and
Lungs than any other. 1t is probable that
everyone, without exception, receives vast
numbers of Tubercle Germs into the system
and where these germs fall upon suitable soil
they start into life and develop, at first slowly
and are shown by slight tickling sensation in
the throat and if allowed to continue their
ravages they extend to the lungs producing
Consumption and to the head, causing Ca
tarrh. Now al this is dangerous and if al
lowed to proceed will in time cause death.
At the onset you must act with promptness;
allowing cold to go without attention is
dangerous and may lose you your life. As
soon as you feel that something is wrong with
your Throat, Lungs or Nostris, obtain
bottle of Boschee's German Syrnp. 1t viii
give you immediate relief.
