Are We to Have Another War.

Some political prophets aver that we
shall. Be that as it may, the battle wag-
ed by medical science against disease will
never cease until we arrive at that utopi-
an epoch when the human family shall
cease to be afflicted with bodily ailments
One of the most potent weapons which
the armory of medicine furnishes, is Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, which is of spe-
cial utility as family remedy, as it is
adapted to the immediate relief and ul-
innate cure of those disorders of the stom-
ach, liver and bowels which are of COM
monest occurrence. Indigestion, billions
ness and: constipation are inseparable COM
panions, and these ailments are complete
ly eradicated by the Bitters. But the
remedial scope of this superlatively
wholesome and genial medicine takes in
also nervous ailments, rheumatism and
kidney troubles; its action in these, as in
the other complaints, being characterized
by unequalled thoroughness.

Miss ANITA Mccormick, Of Chicago, who
is about to marry Mr.. Emmons Blaine, has
spent thousands of papa's surplus dollars
upon lace, which is her especial craze.
Every piece of her Undertaking is de-
scribed by the fashionable reporters as
''literally covered with cascades of the
most exquisite webs from all parts of
Europe where lace is made" The young
lady has a fancy for white lingerie, and
nearly all of her dozens of under garments
are made of snowy null or silk, the only
color being from the narrow ribbons run
through the laces; in many instances the
ribbons also are white. The bridal set are
of white India silk, trimmed with the most
beautiful Irish point; and this same lace
garnishes one of the few tinted sets in the
trosseau-one of pale lemon color, which
includes also a silk petticoat and a satin
corset. The bridal hose are white silk en-
broidered with silver thread; and there
are many other pairs of white stockings
embroidered with gold, or with different
colors. This is brand-new fashion, intro
duced by Miss Mccormick herself.
Speaking of October weddings, some
good hints for an autumn bridesmaid may
be found in the following advice, given by
Miss Tillie Forney. A dainty costume
that would seem appropriate for brides
maid at an autumn wedding can be made
with an accordian plated skirt of magnolia
white (Which is an especially soft ecru
tint, silk null, with a directoire coat of
ottoman silk the same delicate shading. A
good quality of silk null can be obtained
for 81 a yard, and as it is about yard and
a half wide, eight yards would be amply
sufficient to form properly full accordian
skirt, which should be seven yards wide
before being put through the plating pro-
cess. An excellent quality of ottoman silk
can be bought for 81 yard.
To make a stylish directoire, which
should be "Cut-a-Way" in front, two fiat
tails lined with surah, widening towards
the bottom of the skirt in the back six
yards of material would be ample.
Directoire lapels, wide at the shoulders and
narrowing into the waist-line and edged
with inch wide silver braid. would orna-
m 9nt the bodice.effectivelY If the wearel'5
throat be white and shapely, the neck of
the bodice would look well cut low and
bound with silver braid.
Velvet, both plain and brocaded, has
again become extremely fashionable. Some
of the autumn gowns of wool have belted
shirt-waists, which are worn with loose
fronted coats, in the neglige manner of
many gowns worn last summer 1t is pre-
dicted that black dresses will be worn more
during the coming winter than they have
been of late, both by young and elderly
ladies. Green still emlins favorite color
for dressy street costumes; and there are
many combinations of green with other
colors, notably suede, peach, apricot and
copper red. Telegraph blue, peculiar
shade which takes its name from the color
of the paper used for cabling, is in high
favor among French dressmakers. The
Pompadour brocades of the past are called
Centennial brocades'' this year, and are
generally made of the "stand alone" quail
ity, with price to correspond.

first the leather will look gray, and will
take no polish whatever; but this treat
ment will make it soft and prevents its
cracking when it gets damp. Many pairs
of good boots are spoiled by placing them
too near the heat while they are wet. A
much better plan would be to allow them
to dry gradually where it is moderately
warm. Women who are obliged to go out
in all weather should be provided with
pair of stout boots to be worn only on
rainy days. Nothing will sooner ruin
good pair of shoes than tramping about in
the rain and mud; and everybody knows
the bad effect of rubber or any kind of
leather, to say nothing of the feet inside.

Worth knowing.

A correspondent writes to ask what she
shall dc to cure that unsentimental but
soul-harrowing complaint called ingrowing
toe nail, on which all the chiropodists of
her city have failed. The only infallible
ever heard of is that used by DR.. Hoff-
man, an eminent German surgeon, and is
simply chloride of iron. Here is the method
given in his own words: The entire limb
must first be thoroughly bathed and disin-
fected with suDlimate solution. Then the
nail is slightly elevated and liquor ferri
chloride applied to the affected part. This
should be repeated on the second or third
day. After few days Tor should suppura-
ton occur, do it somewhat earlier), remove
the hardened crust covering the granula-
tions, and check the bleeding by an appi
cation of the iron solution. Three or four
DAYS later the crust is again removed; and
this procedure is repeated until the promi-
nent skin folds have been carefully leveled.
The nail is rendered soft and friable by
the iron solution, and if care is taken may
be excised without pain with scissors or
dull-edged knife. To prevent re-occur
rences, fine plates of cork are sometimes
inserted beneath the nail.
As to the proper dressing of the foot,
Miss Mary Anderson-"our Mary'' of good
common sense--is credited with having
given the low-heeled English shoes their
wide popularity among American women.
In the sculpture collection at the Paris
Exposition is a much admired statue, the
feet of which were modelled after those of
a fashionable young lady; and the marble
nymph has prominent joints, with big toes
turned back on the little ones, just as if she
had walked through Already wearing the
most fashionable of fashionable boots.
Shoema5ers tell us that only about eight
people out of every hundred have both feet
of the same size. Generally the left foot
is larger than the right; but now and then
the right foot is the larger of the two.
BY the way, have you heard that short
people are now being made taller by means
Of false feet made Of cork, into which the
lines of the natural feet are so carefully
blended that the deception is hardly to be
detected. What next, wonder!
Children's feet are often spoiled in shape
by being crammed into shoes that look
'sreal SWEET to the mother, but are neither
large enough nor properly shaped. Chill
dren's boots will wear much longer and
keep in better condition if they are oiled
before wearing at all, and if another coat
ing Of oil is added every few weeks. AT

The best medical writers claim that the
successful remedy for nasal catarrh must
be non irritating, easy of application, and
one that will reach all the remote sores and
liberated surfaces. The history of the
efforts to treat catarrh during the past
obliges US to admit that only one remedy
has met these conditions, and that is Ely's
Cream Balm. This pleasant remedy has
mastered catarrh as nothing else has ever
done, and both physicians and patients
freely concede this fact. The more dis
tressing symptoms yield to it.

Measuring the Baby


We measured the riotous baby,
Against the cottage wall.
A lily grew near the threshold,
And the boy was Just as tall.
A royal tiger lily,
With spots of purple and gold,
And the heart a jeweled chalice,
The fragrant dew to hold.
Without, the blue birds whistled,
High up in the old roof trees;
And to and fro at the window
The red rose rocked her bees;
And the wee pink fists of the baby
Were never moment still,
Reaching at shine and shadow
That danced on the window sill.
His eyes were wide as blue bells,
His mouth like flower unbiown;
Two little bare feet, like funny white mice
Peeped out from his snowy gown;
And we thought, with thrill of rapture,
That yet had a touch of pain,
When June rolls arc ind with her roses,
Wen measure the baby again.
All, me in a darkened chamber,
With the sunshine shut away,
Through tears that fell like bitter rain
We measured the boy today;
And the little bare feet that were dimpled
And sweet as a budding rose,
Lay side by side together,
In the hush Of long repoSe.
Up from the dainty pillow,
White as the risen dawn,
The fair little face lay smiling,
With the light of heaven thereon;
And the dear little hands, like rose leaves
Dropped from a rose, lay still
Never to catch at the sunshine
That crept 10 the shrouded sill.
We measured the sleeping baby,
With ribbons white as snow,
For the shining rosewood casBet
That waited for him below.
And out of the darkened chamber
We went with q childless moan;
To the height of the SinleSs angels
Our little one had grown.
