and is elliptic rather than round. The silk
is tucked all over and the tucks drawn in
on the thread, and the interior is elder

all over in beads or embroidered with sprigs

green is seen in Il table cover that has a

Real Merit

Is the characteristic of Hoods Sarsaparilla,
and it is manifested every day in the re-
markable cures this medicine accomplisheS.
Druggists say: When we sell a bottle Of
Hoods Sarsaparilla to new customer we
are sure to see him back in few weeks af-
ter more,-prOying that the good results
from a trial bottle warrant continuing its
use. This positive merit Hoods Sarsapa-
rllla possesses by virtue of the peculiar
combination, proportion and process used
in its preparation, and by which all the
remedial value of the ingredients used is
retained. Hoods Sarsaparilla is thus pc
culiar to itself and absolutely unequalled
in its power as blood purifier, and as a
tonic for building up the weak and weary,
and gividg nerve strength.

wrinkles. Red Noses, Etc.

Writing of wrinkles, red noses etc, Miss
Manoalini says; wrinkles are produced
by facial expression. If you have merry
laughing merry eyes you can't help having
lines at the corners of them. Girls who
wish to avoid getting wrinkles early in
life are advised to practice the art of laugh
ing with the lips only, keeping the eyes
perfectly still. Those who have any sense
of fun in their composition will find it diff
cult to do this.
"Wrinkles are not half 50 bad as red
nose. Very often they give character to
face. 1t is cold, dignifed women-women
with very little heart-who have the few
est wrinkles. | learn that il is an easy
matter to cultivate ii shapely nose All
that one has to do is to wear clothes peg
padded with soft leather during the hours
of sleep. A red nose can always he cured
if taken in time. 1t is caused by excessive
irritability, intemperance and in a few
cases by indigestion. Every woman should
take particular care of her eyebrows, for
it is impossible to get false ones that do not
look false. Eyelashes may easily be injured
by wearing a tight veil"

One seen lately and specially admired was
made in yellow bengaline, trimmed with
bands of black velvet and gold passemen-
terie. 1t had revers like the lapels of a
coat, long basques at the back and soft
full silk fronts reaching only to the waist
Another light blue serge silk was cut in
tabs divided by other tabs of MORE, be
meath which was black lace flounce over
silk. Two tones of tomato red find favor
in these tea jackets, which are more popu-

A colored picture is generally framed in
good taste, according to Decorator and
Furnisher, if given II suitable mat with a
narrow gilt frame. Silk frames are some
times used for colored pictures; also for
black and white effects. They are made
by arranging soft folds Of any plain colored
China or India silk over a pine frame,
which can be bought for small sum or
made at home. A fan of delicate lace
across one corner will add to it's beauty.
One of these pine frames may also be
cheaply covered with the dull yellow brown
mating that comes around tea chests and
lighted by dashes of gilt.

THE SPREAD OF INFLUENZA.

| The Disease Caused by a Microbe Arising
from Marsh Lands in Central Asia.
| A recent writer has considered at length
She conditions which give rise to influenza
Ind permit it to spread, and he arrives at
substantially the following conclusions:
Influenza is disease caused by exceed
| ingly minute microbes, arising from ex-
tensive areas of marsh or sodden land in
central ASIA China, or Siberia. The mi
nuteness of the microbes or their spores is
shown by their easy transmissibility, and
the large number of persons capable of be
ing infected by a single case in a large
room, most persons probably requiring
many virulent organisms to be inhaled in
short time before the resistant power of
the blood is overcome. This microbe, like
that of cholera, miiltiplies with great rapid
ity, and probably soon produces sufficient
poison to terminate it's career in the body,
but not before multitudes of spores or mi
crobes have been given off by the breath.
Given the original conditions of rainfall,
soil and high temperature the certain re-
suit is the development of inconceivable
multitudes of microbes and spores. One
species of these is capable of planting itself
and living in the tissue and blood of man,
of which the temperature is probably near
that to which it has been accustomed I'M
der the summer sun in wet and drying
ground. The somewhat rare and occa-
sional visitations of influenza may be due
to at least two or three causes-frst, the
occurrence of unusual rainfall and favor
able summers; second, the prevalence of
air currents from the drying area toward
inhabited places; third, adequate commu
nication between these infected places and
the towns of Russia whence progress is
rapid toward western Europe. The wind
has no influence that can be verified in the
transportation of Influenza,
