Nervous Debility.

Every one who are in the least degree sub
ject to nervousness, sleeplessness prostra-
tion, mental fatigue, or nervous debility in
any form, find the hot weather of June, July
and August very hard to bear, if not dam
gerous. Nervous prostration is becoming
more and more common every year, the
symptoms of which are: Brown specks be-
fore the eyes, slight dizziness, roaring in
the ears, attacks of nervous headache, pal
pitation of the heart, flashes of heat, fol.
lowed by slight chilly sensations, faintness,
depression, dependency, forebodings, fool
ish fears, and many other similar ones.
Any one subject to any or all of these
symptoms should take warning at once, as
they indicate the approach of a disease
very deranging to the system and hard to
cure.
Pe-ru-na quickly cures nervous prostra-
tion in all forms. The first dose gives
prompt relief to the most distressing symp-
toms, and persistent use of it for reason
able length of time will permanently cure
cases of long standing. A dose of Pe-ru-na
before each meal during the hot season is a
safeguard of priceless value, especially to
those who are in the least subject to nervous
prostration

bottle. For treatise on nervous prostration
and diseases of the nervous system send for

One does not have to look twice at this

is only necessary to think once to realize
exactly how inexpensive it is. 'But," saws
somebody, "the white will soil so easily"
Well, not necessarily. You can wear it

when the cooler days come, you can remove
the white and insert scarlet or blue, as is
most becoming, and your tea gown is
ready then to do service during the

lustratIon is from the Ladies Home Journal
No matter how one is dressed, without

bit of encouragement from an artist. He
says: ga girl who sits ungracefully is a

view with d lace importer, published in the

he saws, that the most valuable collection of

in Mexico City who can justly claim to

make it take the place of the various fancy
shawls that for many years have been in
vogue at the seaside and mountain resorts
when it grew cool in the evening. A Span
| ish woman NAV know how to arrange her
mantllla gracefully, but the American girl
generally looks bundled up in her white
shawl so that in a picturesque cape there is
| decided change for the better.
Then a cape that is at once comfortable
and pretty is of much use. 1t needs to be
full, it wants to be simple, and yet-this is
always required-it must be becoming.
Dark blue, brown, olive, black, lincoln
green and very deep red are fancied for
cloaks that are to be worn on journeys by
land or sea- The long ulster for travelling
by land was rather warm, and yet something
is required to put on at the end of ones
journey so that one may not look, as little
woman once expressed it,, altogether
smudgy."
The picturesque cape illustrated Just
above, is the ideal travelling one, says the
Ladies' Home Journal 1t is made of dark
blue cloth, lined throughout with light
quality of very dark red silk. 1t is full,
raised and plated on the shoulders and has
a monks hood lined with the red, which
may or may not be worn as is fancied.
With this is high collar that rounds quite
low in the front, and long loops and ends
of blue ribbon are knotted just below it
and seem to fasten the cape, although in
reality strong pair of hooks and eyes first
do that service The hat is blue straw,
with a bit of red silk drawn under the
crown, and having just in front bunch of
blue flowers, while at the back are high
loops of blue ribbon from under which
come the narrow blue strings that are
knotted under the chin. A cape made |
after this style, and intended not for travel |
ing but for evening wear at the seaside, is |
of scarlet cloth lined with scarlet silk, and
will make its wearer look like that most de- |
lightful character of fiction, Little Red
Ridinghood.

Nothing in the feminine wardrobe is Just
now more perplexing or interesting than
the skirt, says the New York Press. For a
long time the bodice has been the central
figure around which the most novel and
seductive ideas have clustered. Now it is
the skirt and its limitless innovations in
the way of founcings, fan insertions,
festoons, frills and paniers. To give the
modern affair, with its sheath-like cores and
demi-train, an artistic effect is to proclaim
yourself an expert. 1t is one of the most
difficult pieces of work in dressmaking.
This all the best modistes declare with
emphasis to be fact. Just let the scissors
take a wrong turn and your skirt is ruined
Even the slightest mistake is disastrous to
the correct hang. There is an art, knack,
which only comes from long practice in
cutting. For this reason we meet with
gowns every day that are totally devoid of

A MockINe BIRDS LESSON.

In Few Minutes 1t Learned Some New
Sounds But Forgot It's Clever Songs.
'sThere he goes again. groaned Mr..
George Phalen, wealthy resident of
Highbridge. ''Was ever man cursed
with such bird?"
"Birdr' exclaimed Mr. Phalen,s visitor
in astonishment. .'Why, you don't
mean to say you keep a bird with all
those cats in the houseS' For hesudden
chorus of kissing, splitting and mewing
that foated in from the rear room seemed
to indicate that an animated feline argu-
ment was in progress there.
"There is no cat under my roof, ;" was
the reply. ''A1l the noise you hear is
made by a single mocking bird Just
step into the other room and look at him.
A more woebegone creature you never
saw"
The bird, indeed, looked as though he
had seen hard and long service. He had
no vestige of tail left, and one of his
eyes was gone. His few feathers were
ruf1ed, and all his sleek and glorious
beauty had departed.
''Three years ago old Nick (that is his
name) was remarkably handsome bird y
said Mr.. Phalen, land his numerous ac-
compllshments made him great favor
lite and very valuable. He could whistle
The Campbells Are Coming and a
dozen other airs with wonderful clear
ness and musical precision, and he was
so clever that he could learn new tune
in an hour. 1 would not have sold him
then for $500.
"But one night everybody in the house
was awakened by an awful uproar in the
back parlor. The mocking bird was
shr1ehng, shouting and swearing like a
human being; cat, that must have en-
tered by the cellar door, for we harbored
none of his kind, was splitting and hiss
ing furiously, and the sound of some
heavy metallic object dashed frequently
and violently against the furniture was
d1stractlng. l went down stairs with a
light, and found that the cats paw was
tightly wedged between the wires of the
birds prison, and the terrified brute was
swinging the cage about the room, try
ing to release himself. Old Nick was
nearly dead and badly dilapidated, as
you see him now, before l could disen-
tangle the cat from the wires and kick
him out into the darkness
''The birds tail never grew again, nor
did his plumage regain its luster. He
was quite silent for full week, and then
he suddenly made the air vocal with a
horrible series of caterwaulings, and he
has kept them up almost without inter
mission ever since. In the few dreadful
minutes that he passed face to face with
the cat he learned every intonation OF
voice that his assailant could teach him,
and utterly forgot all the songs and
speeches with which years of careful
tuition had enriched his mind A poor
exchange, it seems TO me."-New York
