constantly increasing. In most cases
the patient is subjected to severe mus

with numerous concomitant discom-
forts, varying in different cases, some
cases running into affections of tho
bowels and others to those Of the lungs.
While no instances Of death have
occurred, the deaths from pneu-
monia have increased so remarkably as
to indicate some connection between the
epidemic of so-called influenza and
pneumonia.

COLORS FOR BLONDES.
They Should Not Wear Pale Blue Nor
Fear Rose Tints.

They Should Not Wear Pale Blue Nor
Fear Rose Tints.
A long time ago people used to think
that blue was essentially color for
blondes and angels. Nobody can dis
pute its being the color for angels, but
it certainly is not the one to be chosen
by blonde. The fair skin looks cold
enough, and when blue, especially pale
blue, is put near it the effect given is
undesirable, because what was clear
white before becomes pallor now.
Blondes had much better wear any of
the rose shades, bright scarlet, warm
brown, or dark green, leaving the trying
pale blue to the brown-haired lassie
with bright color, or the warm bru-
nette whose skin does not know
the unsightly touch of sallowness.
Every body likes a rose-colored
lining, and to be in vogue this season
every body ought to have rose
color frock-in cotton or wool, in silk or
tulle, it is always most charitable in
bringing out ones best features and ton
ing ones worst. Combined with white
the pink shades are as dainty as bit
of old china, and will suggest the pretty
pink and white ladies whom Vatican
painted on fans, who played at little
Trianon with Marie Antoinette, laughed
and TESTED and yet did not fear when
they had to face death on the guillo-
tine for the sake of the King and the
Queen.
There is curious ''shot" silk that is
gray and white, which the wise shop
keeper knows as being a fac-simile Of
the one worn by the beautiful Queen of
France, and which, it is said, became
hallowed by being assumed during the
Reign of Terror, when life, love and
every thing seemed going from her.
The frou-frou of it to-day sounds as gay
as it did in the long time ago. Will
the wearer have such life? Surely
nobody will wish her tragedy such as
the Austrian went through. Chicago

An excellent example has been set by
the Emperor Francis Joseph to other
sovereigns by refusing to allow his

accept the wedding presents which

posed grants are to devoted to charita-
BILE objects. II wonder" muses. the

family acting in this way" The Arch
duchess has a fortune of $500. 600 and a

ner future husband, the Archduke
Francis Salvador, has an allowance Of
Sc. 900 a year from his father. the Arch
duke Charles Salvador, Of Hapsburg

SORROWS SAFETY VALVE.
Consolation Found In Utterng the Hearts
Profoundest Cry.

COnSOlhUlOn FOunu III ttterluk the hedrl $
PrOfoundest Cry.
Great griefs can seldom be borne in
silence;nor is it well that they should be.
Just as the cry of pain springs to the
lips of a child when it is hurt, so the
wounded spirit longs for utterance to
ease its sorrow. Far from being re-
belious and unnatural desire, this long
ing to somehow unburden the soul in
words is merciful gift of God, who,
even when he chastens, would fain
temper his wind to the shorn lamb.
See how the noblest souls have sought
and found, not only a balm for sorrow,
but sorrows own deeper meaning in
uttering their hearts profoundest cry.
Think of that magnificent memorial
poem in which Tennyson gathered up,
as in sacred urn, the fragments of his
broken heart Was his sorrow for Hal
lam the less, that he thus robbed it of
its bitterest sting, the sting of helpless
silence and hopeless brooding? Was
Cicero less noble, less heroic, because,
after the death of his beloved daughter
Tullia, he wrote q treatise on eonsola-
ton to alleviate his sorrow? No; utter
ances sanctifes the grief whose pang it
softens. God does not will that we
should suffer in white-lipped silence.
He never drives the barbed arrow into
the human heart. Oh, what comfort,
what peace has come to many stricken
soul in pouring out its sorrow to some
sympathetic friend, or telling itall in a
broken letter to some dear one far away!
We need not be poets or orators to use
this blessed safety-valve of sorrow.
Enough if we have the faculty of ut
terance. Surely, in the fulness of the
heart we shall not ask for words! And
then there is another safety-valve OF
sorrow. 1t is service. Work, loving,
earnest work-it is like the dew OF
Heaven upon the bruised reed. If sor-
row should take away our power OF
serving, it would be the worst hell the
mind can conceive. 1t would be like
the chained hands OF Prometheus, while
the vultures were gnawing at his vitals.
But thank God? however dark and deep
our sorrow, we are not deprived of the
blessed relief of doing. Though the
ewes rain, let not the hands lie idle.
There is worldful of blessed work to
be done, and service is sorrows bplm OF
Gilead. -Zion's Herald.
