When person is sick they wish more

They are willing to take even nauseous
medicine IN order TO get well. With many
however, first consideration is whether

will it not leave any evil after-effects2
Now, there is one remedy known to be
certainly safe. 1t is a botanical discoy-
cry, and 1t is called Botanic Blood Balm,
or B. b. B. 1t will not harm the most

Sailors have an expression, Greeting
sail, - and though fashion writer may
be more OF marine in ship lore than q
thoroughly informed sailor, 1t is form
OF words that seems fifty applied to re-
cent tendency of modes. In dress it will
be admitted that the Tightening skirt as
1t folds closer and closer around the fe-
male form gives a woman on the street
somewhat the appearance of q vessels
mast with the sails well wrapped around,
anticipatory of gale. This reefng ex-
teEds to bonnets, for as the sum-
mer months waue these grow
smaller and smaller, until they
are finally reduced to mere
handful Of straw and flowers. The later
creations give hint that summers flow
ers are fast being transformed into seed
vessels, and often the handful perched
on top of Il lady head is dandelions ard
the plumy heads of its seed vessels as
pompons. AS the leaves take on au-
tumn tints and yellow and red predomi-
nate, so now the tiny bonnets show large
crimson roses and yellow flowers. OF
the last the yellow daisy is prime
fevorite, and is most frequently seen in
termiXed with velvet ribbons and black
lace. While bonnets wax smaller, round
hats grow larger, that is, taking the
front view of their extern
sion. This extension seems an
attempt at usurpation, before which the
parasol may yet have to hide its appa-
rently diminishing proportions. The
velvety petaled iris is a favorite trim
ming for these broad brims that are in
no sense Quskerish, and velvet that has
a greenish blue hue, shade OF blue that
authorities declare 10 be the very newest
color, is preferred.
Appropos of color, those venturing
outside of black and white may find
satisfaction in yellow gowning. For a
lady slender, with sunny eyes and dark
skin that hints gloss "a complexion
known among Spaniards as ''ivory

ing than yellow or the blue and
red combination that are to be worn

Rachel mourns. A treasure in gold
silver or jewels requires no caution as to
Its guarding. Men build vaults with
iron walls, and spend their money and
talent to perfect safety locks for the
security of their treasure. Women
guard jewels for their personal adorn-
ment with jealous care, and yet can il
be said that daughters are less precious
than these perishable things. There is
the form of queries.
Fathers, mothers, do you know your
daughters? Are you their chosen conf
oants! Do they submit to your judg-
ment as to the company and hours they
keep! Do you know what thew read
where they go, and who are their chosen
girl associates? Do you know and ap-
prove as thoroughly the young
men that visit them as you
would expect to do these young
men as would be required if you expected
to entrust them with your business or
your funds! Few who reflect will count
these questions superfiuous or deem that
only an alarmist sees danger in a free
dom that is likely to degenerate into Ii
cense, and is hazardous, to say the least,
when 1t granted those whose Judgment is
immature. and to those whose emotions.
rather than reason, are apt to sway.

lence for the sweet pickle They are all
prepared by the same rule. Firm, rIpe
fruit is selected. A rich yellow peach is
the best of its kind for pickles. They
ought to be ripe; green fruit does not
make richly favored pickles A Sickle
pear makes an excellent pickle; SO does
any small tart apple. Use seven pounds
OF fruit to pint of vinegar and four
pounds of sugar; stick a whole Glove in
each peach, apple or pear. Use about
an ounce of cloves to seven pounds of
plnms; this fruit Is so small that it would
not do to put a Glove in every individual
specimen. Make syrup of the vinegar
and sugar and boil the fruit in it until it
Is tender, but not until it breaks to
pieces. Just before taking it up add
two ounces of cinnamon to every seven
pounds of fruit. In the case of peaches
and plums, this, with eli nnamon and
cloves, is enough spice; but for pears
and apples it is an improvement to add
sliced lemon and ginger root, using one
lemon and two ounces of ginger to every
seven pounds of fruit. An ounce OF
mace, if desired, may be added.

There is scarcely any fullness IN the
fronts and sides OF dresses, but all is
concentrated at the back.
Deep girdles, well boned after the
peasant bodice, are put on the new toll
cts of white and figured silk.
The most stylish sleeve is the full
bishop, made with a loose slip wristlet
one inch wide and banded just above the
elbow with two-inch ribbon.
The fashionable bodice reaches nearly
to the knees. The extremely long waists
are quaint on slender women, but pain
fully absurd on those of generous pro-
portions.
Summer dresses which are made with
acket-shaped bodices may be given a
touch of freshness every day by the use
of loose vest fronts of null in different
colors. These are easily slipped in and
out, and give daintiness to the wear
er's general appearance.
The Tuxedo jackets in cream, tan or
the intense and vivid scarlet, known as
officers red, is one of the most con-
venient little coats for wearing oyer light
dresses; it is fastened with but one but
ton, somewhat in blazer fashion and has
Il rolling Byron collar either of brown or
black velvet or stitched cloth.
A dresgy neglige jacket is of accordiorI-
pleated India silk crepette; it is cut quite
straight and descends half way the
knees. being tied together with lengths
of finger width ribbon. Above it ia sd-
iusted diminutive Bolero jacket of old
brocade, or one of OPEN work gold
braid, edged with golden grelots.
Black and white woolens in rather
larger plaids than the always favorite
shepherd 81 check are worn for many
'outing occasions. The plaid is taken
bias for the entire dress, and the dress is
accompanied by great "plaid'' or
scarf wrap of the same stuff, to throw
over the shoulders.
The most novel thing in summer
fashions is the introduction of tucks of
some transparent material. as gauze or
spotted net, in the skirts of silk or poplin
dresses. The tucks are set just above
the hem and contrast in color with the
rest of the toilet, so that the effect is ex-
cellent when success is achieved, but, as
a rule, quite bizarre.
One of the prettiest and least expen-
sive ways to make plain gown dressy is
to cover the full sleeves with black net
and plain white ground India, no matter
how covered it may be, to use plain
white India, covered with black net, or,
indeed, with whatever tone the gown
may be, TO get plain material for sleeves
and use black net over it. Green, yell
low, old rose, lavender, all shades lend
themselves to this end with excellent
effect, especially the challies and Indias
in chintz patterns, or with large ferns
and exotics scattered profusely over |
plain ground.
