Artistic Cotton Gowns for Ladies.

The materials for these gowns are
the staple Scotch ginghams, light
weight Zephyrs, heavier Chambray
and the Madras cottons. The new
patterns show small figures, corded
lines, stripes and small dots. Some
of the ginghams are more elaborate,
and have interviewer white designs to
initiate tambour embroidery, raised
silk or linen dots or stripes and some
a crepe-like surface. The Mcdowell
Fashion Journals from which these
fashion items are taken, contain a
great variety of models for the use of
these materials. Their coupon pat

show many new designs which are
unique in point of artistic taste, style
and practicability. OF these fashion

FASTENED to lemonade stand, where
each woman paid nickel for a glass
OF ''ice cool lemonade, made in the
shade;" then, after the manner OF
the sex, they walked and chatted
until the arrival of the excursion
train.
Had one woman "treated" to lem

The New York World never waits

far in the lead that competition is an
impossibility. The reputation of The
Weekly World as the greatest Demo-
cratic paper published is fully estab-
lished. 1t is Democratic in principle,
Democratic in policy, Democratic in
sympathies. 1t is not blindly or dis
honestly partisan. 1t will not sup
port bad men or bad measures. Its
WORK is FOR THE PEOPLE, THE
WHOLE PEOPLE, and not for any
class or faction. 1t will be found at
all times fighting for the great cardi-
nal principles Of the Democratic par

any ring or individual. Its miscella-
neous articles are fresh, well selected
and interesting. Its pages devoted to
Home, Fashion and Agriculture are
replete with articles of valuable and
interesting information. The Tar

California as a Sanitarium

In an article written for the Califor-
nian, Lieutenant John p. Finley, of
the United States Weather Bureau:
makes the, following statement,
Theoretically California should fur
nish the best and the most varied
health resorts and sanitarium in the
United States. Within her borders
almost every form of wasting disease
should find the means of temporary,
If not permanent relief"
This theoretical statement, from all
unbiased, scientific standpoints, is
fully and abundantly confirmed by
actual experience. The cool and brae-
ing coast climate, devoid of any trace
of malaria, extends from the northern
part of the State to the extreme south.
There is the choice between this cool,
humid atmosphere and the dry, warm
atmosphere of the inland valleys.
In the matter of altitude there is
yet greater difference. From Palm
Valley, 300 feet below sea level, to the
upper Sierras, 1000 or 5000 above,
any altitude can be selected, and
comfortable homes be founded.
The popularity of ansalmost rain
less summer, during which the injur-
ious germs Of animal and vegetable
decay are destroyed by thorough desi-
cation, is one of the striking features
of California climate.
During the rainy season it is usual
ly too cool to facilitate fermentation,
and the result is, except along some
of the river valleys, an absolutely pure
atmosphere. The ocean winds enter
ing through the several coast openings
are tempered by the intermediate area
passed over, and often receive desira-
BILE healing properties by taking up
the resinous odors of the pines and
redwoods on the Coast Range.
The skillful physician, acquainted
with the climatic conditions, should
find little difficulty in selecting a To-
cality where climate environment will
do all that these agencies can ever do
toward the restoration of health.
There is enough of wildness to keep
the mind constantly engaged, and
enough of civilization to satisfy the
most exacting.
Sufferes from pulmonary diseases
people whose systems are charged
with malaria, or are ''run down" by
over work, find immediate and in
many cases permanent relief in this
invigorating climate establishing
anew the fact recognized by all intel
ligent persons, whether physicians or
laymen, that ''Nature is the best
healer"

INVENTED A "GRAVE SIGNAL"
or Interest to People Who are Appre
hensiye of Burial Alive.

PITTsBURG, May 2S.-Hubert De
van, French Canadian, has patent
ed an invention which he calls a
Grave Signal" and he is now in
Pittsburg to get it manufactured.
The device consists of a piece of
ordinary gas-pipe, six feet long, with
glass globe about the size of an in
candescent lamp on one end The
pipe is arranged to pass through a
brass plate at the head of the coffin,
leaving the lower end within frac
tion of ar inch of the forehead oil the
corpse. Through the centre of the
pipe runs plain, smooth stick, one
end Of which rests ON the forehead
of the body in the coffin; the other
end is in the glass globe, with a red
cloth attached; should the person
come TO life in the coffin and stir. the
stick will be forced through the pipe
and the red cloth-the signal-will
he displayed. At the same time ii
number of small aperiures will open
at the base of the globe aud fresh
air will be forced down the pipe into
the nostrils.
The inventor claims that in cata-
lepsy person may be apparently
dead for period Of eight days, but
never for longer time. and during
that period The grave could he

AcELEsFIAL VISITOR.
The Coming Of Great Comet Predicted
by the knowing Ones.


Holley's comet is soon to make its
appearance again and will present a
magnificent sight in the heavens. |
People need not be alarmed at its |
appearance, or think it any sign of
something fearful to happen. for
though its visits are few and far be- |
tween, it is always well known when
it appears; and attracts the atten-
tion ofthe world. Professor Garrett
p. Servis, writing TO the New York
Sun; says of its history: Now that
astronomers have undertaken the
prediction of the exact period of its
return it will be interesting to see
who will first complete his calcnla-
ton, and who will hit nearest to the
mark. And those of us who actual
ly see the great comet on its return
will surely find it doubly interesting
because it is like a slowly revolving
hand upon the dial of history. 1t
passed across the sky twelve years
before the birth of Christ. 1t pass
ed again when Nero was Emperor,
again when the first of the Antonines
bad just hegun his pacific reign; and
when the Goths we're preparing to
attack Rome, and yet again in the
DAYS of Diocletian and advancing
Huns beheld its transit in the year
373; and il was blazing in the sky
when their great King Attilla was
defeated at Chalous in 45l.
Belisarius may have watched it
as itswung across the heavens just
after he had begun his victorious ca
reer in $50. 1t passed again while
Mohammed was still worshippipg
the idols of his fathers in COS. The
World was the great index again in
6s4, in 100, in S37, in 9l2 and in
$50. 1t was the noon mark for Will
liam, the Conqueror, in l066. 1t re
turned in l145; in 1928 it was
thought to have predicted the death
of Philip Augustus; in 1901 it was
watched with astonishment from
Iceland to China; in 1878 Chinese
and Europeans once more recorded
its transit in their annals. We have
seen how Islam and Christendom
were terrified by it in 1456. 1t was
back again in 1881 and 1907, and
when, in 1852, it shore once more in
the sky, the man had come who was
to read its riddle and solve its mys
terry. Is it possible. to look forward
to the return of a comet having such
a history as this without feeling
that the proper field of human in
terest is not limited by the narrow
round of this earth2
