fusion were considered the art and acme of
good dressing? 1t would seem So Feathers,
feathers, feathers galore are used upon
women's garments, and now the latest ad-
vices saw that there are to be ostrich
feather sleeves in evening dresses. This
seems hardly possible. Every one admires
plump arm, and no one admires thin
one. But who could possibly admire an

the body? And such would surely be the
case if the fluffy ostrich tips are sewn upon

of Greek ideas of death, and Greek funeral
costumes Miss Lathbury is pretty and

That Velvet Cloak. jumped back, star
tied, taking us who are its inconsequent in
habitants back in June when we should be
enjoying October. Whether to wear one's
velvet cloak, trimmed with fur, or ones
challie is mooted question. To be per-
fectly safe, put on the challie and. hang the
cloak over your shoulders. During the
first hour you may be comfortable so. An
hour after you may wish to hang the cloak
over your arm, and, in still another hour,
you may find it comfortable tightly hooked
up at the neck and waist.
A strange fever threatens us. 1t may be
known as the black fever. 1t is serious
only because it affects the mind. 1t has
not yet had any influence upon the body
save through the medium of the mind.
The black fever shows itself in the gowns
worn by women. A strange, odd, weird fad
has come up for wearing black. In the
fashionable world one finds women who do
not buy colors at all clothing themselves
from head to foot in somber garments In
the summer, when the sun shines upon
these, it is all very well, but in the winter
it is trying, gloomy and depressing. 1t is
said that full suit of black will produce
the blues quicker than anything else.
Strange to say, thst, as the wearing of black
becomes fashionable for people who are
not in mourning, it is becoming less
fashionable for those who are This is
accounted for on the ground that people
who are depressed by circumstances should
wear bright colors to relieve their feelings,
while those who are in need of no such
cheer may wear what they please.

Hcav;ng the Lead.

From time inmcmOrial those who 20
down to the sea in ships" have taken
some means of ascertaining the depth of
water beneath their vessels when running
in shallow and unknown seas, and so far
back as any record goes this means has
been a weight attached 20 rope. This
is technically known as ''heaving the
lead" the name lead" being given to
the weight. because originally common
piece of that metal was used. Now the
lead is especially prepared for the pur-
pose, end is hexagonal pyramid vary
ing liz weight from five to fifteen pounds,
and has a cavity in the bottom into which
soap is pressed for the purpose of bring.
ing up samples of the ground at the bot
tom of the sea so its nature can be ascer-
tanned.
In having the lead on a sailing vessel
the leadsman stations himself well for
ward near the cathead. On steamers
there is generally small platform at the
bow from which the lead is heaved.
The leadsman whirls the lead around by
the line and casts it as far in front of the
vessel as possible. BY the time the YES
sci has progressed as far as the lead the
latter has reached the bottom, and the
slack of the line being taken in until i
is taut, the depth of the water is shown
by the fathom figure on the line at thu
surface. In crossing bar, or in shallow
water whose exact nature Is not known
the lead is kept constantly going, and
the course of the ship is regulated b!
what it reveals of the depth of waite

We've heard of a woman
who said she'd walk five miles
to get a bottle of DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription if she
couldn't get it without. That
woman had tried it. And it's
a medicine which makes itself
felt in toning up the system
and correcting irregularities as
soon as its use is begun.
Go to your drug store, pay
dollar, get a bottle and try
it-try a second, a third if
necessary. Before the third
ones been taken you'll know
that there's a remedy to help
you. Then you'll keep on
and a cure II come.
But if you shouldn't feel the
help, should be disappointed
in the results you'll find a
guarantee printed on the bot
tle-wrapper that'll get your
money back for you.
How many women are there
who'd rather have the money
than health? And Favorite
Prescription produces health.
Wonder is that there's a
woman willing to suffer when
