1t Costs Less

On the question of real economy Hoods
Sarsaparilla is so far ahead of other prepara.
tions as to place them entirely out of the race
as competitors Here are facts IN regard to
this popular medicine, easily susceptible of
conclusive proof
1. Hoods Sarsapariila Costs the
Manufacturer More than any other com.
peting preparations, because II is more highly
concentrated and contains more real medi-
cnal value
2. 1t Costs the Jobber More, as a con.
sequence of the fact Just stated.
3. 1t Costs the Retail Druggist More
for the same reason-as can easily be learned
by inquiry. Hence the desire of some retail
ers TO sell their own preparations, which cost
them less, and for which they get the same
price, thus making more money. But
4. ~ Costs the Consumer LESS than
any other medicine, because of It's greater
concentrated strength, and the quantity In
each bottle, and because II IL the only
preparation Of which can truly be said
400 Doses One Dollar"
That the people appreciate this Is shown
by the fact that Hoods Sarsaparllla has
The Largest Sale of any sarsaparilla or
blood purifier. II possesses peculiar merit
and effects wonderful cures.

In the special newspaper correspondence
that emanates from Washington there are
many graphic pen portraits OF people and
things that are sketched with master hands.
There have been no more beautiful por-
traits than that recently sent out of Mrs
Clarkson, wife of the First Assistant Post
master-General. 1t places her among the
great women of her time, and next to Mrs.
Logan, and whose influence in the nations
politics is far-reaching and ennobing. Many
of these personal sketches are written by
correspondents whose papers are opposed
to Mrs, Clarkson's political sentiments and
opinions, but they all unite in according
her the highest praises that honest admira-
tiOn can confer.

COAL jokes.

From the Black Diamond
The coal miner enjoys his ot,un Gun,
dig
He shoyeled up coal at dollar day,
But now he has gone before,
And the people who know him best now
say
That he'll shovel up coal some more.
The miner turns the coal shoulder to the
wood-chopper.
His drift of thought was on his work;
II could not but incline
To where he laborcd like Turk
The drift" was in a mine.
He thought of work and stinted pay,
OF many a wide,meshed screen,
OF idleness for many day,
OF things that might have been.
But his digestion still was good
His muscles taut, his chest
All full and deep; he liked his food,
Keenly en- joyed his rest.
He envied the mine-owners wealth
The mine-owner-well, he
Envied the miners sturdy health
Divided honors be.
The coal dealer sometimes, by mistake,
gives the cart driver weigh.
Cole & Wood are dealers In wood and
coal In New York City. This is an actual
fact, and is probably the first instance
known OF mems names accidentally fitting
exactly their line Of business.
The coal dealer can get full when he gets
the coal cellar full.
They call an old joke ''chestnut" now,
"Whiskers," in prose or sonnet,
Yet chestnut coal, as all allow,
Can have no whiskers on IL.
The dealer serves his coal fashionably.
He serves II Ia cart.

CORPORAL TANNER's ATTITUDE.
Corporal Tanner did a good thing
when he went TO Tennessee and made a
speech before the Scotch Irish Congress
AT Columbia. He did good thing
when, in his speech, he spoke out
bluntly and frankly as TO his own views
ON the subject of pension. giving. Here
are the words he used:
] am clearly of the opinion that voice the
dominant sentiment of this country when |

-~nands that In treating with those who have
Just claims before this country should cease

which to defeat these claims, and to devote q
little of our time at least to helping those
claimants who, In the past, did not hesitate

TO assist the needy and suffering veterans

confident that shall have the appreciation
Of every manly man in all this country, and
particularly OF those who were manly foes of
'61 to '65.
What the Pension Commissioner
said is easily comprehensive 1t was
not General Black but Corporal Tan
ner who spoke-that is clear enough
and the sentiment of the country, North
and South, will be with the new man in
office A manly attitude, one that is
well defined, is best in almost any place
and decidedly so in the management of
the Pension Department. To avoid
quibbling is not to be reckless, to be Just
Is not TO be arrogant.

DOUBLE CAPES.


Cloth capcs for light summer wraps
are given new effect by French mod
istes making the upper care almost a
ruffle in its iulness. and sewing it on
below the collar, beginning on a point
low on the bnst, carrying it up over the
tips of the shoulders and acre SIS the
back. 1t is about inches deep in the
back, and very full there al on the
shoulder tips, giving an effect of great
er breadth to the wearer; it then be
comes more scant, and slopes almost to
point where it meets on the chest.
The lower edges OF this friil of the cape
proper are pinked. Bright red cloth
capes are made in this way for sea side,
mountain and country use generally,
while beige and tan. colored cloths are
for more dressy capes for driving, visit.
ing. aud later in the season for city
streets. White cloth and even white
velvet capcs, with gold or silver braid
ing, are made for evening wraps.
French models have sids pieces insert
ed in these capcs to make them very
high on the shoulders, putting them up
like mutton leg sleeves. then adding a
rolled wired collar that is very becom-
ing. A bright red cloth shoulder cape
has Its high wired collar covered with
black lace set on fiat, and below the
collar the lace takes a yoke shape; the
sides Of this cape are held in place by
straps inside that pass under the arms.
Black velvet braided with gold is used
for the high rolling collar of other red
cares.
CREPE DE CHINE WITH VELVET.
Crepe de Chine is one of the favorite
fabrics for summer dresses, and fancy
of the summer is to combine it with
velvet, making gown that will be use
full far into the autumn. Suede and
tobacco brown are charming colors in
such dress, the velvet made in little
square cornered Figaro jacket over
blouse of the supple crepe. The full
sleeves, wrinkled all around the arm,
are of Grape sewcd into the velvet jack
ct, and the Grape blouse shows below
the jacket all around the waist and up
the entire front. A cord of silk edges
the jacket, and is its only trimming.
Tho skirt has festoons of the crepe de
Chine up the front and sides, separated
by four panels of the golden brown
velvet, aud the full back brcadths of
the crepe hang straight from belt to
foot.
SUMNER SHOES AND HOSIERY.
Soft undressed kid in gray and tan
colors is much used for low shoes and
for slippers for the house for all times
of day Or evening. Scalloped strips
and tips of black patent leather trim
russell colored low shoes, and there are
also cool looking white linen canvass
shoes, with tips and finishing Of the
vanished black leather. The dull
surfaced ooze calf skin is made up in
dark brown or black shoes, and has
soft luxurious appearance. Tan or
gray stockings are worn to match shoes.
