 Her suffering was caused by female weakness in it's worst forms. She had pain in her back and loins, great fatigue from walking, leucorrhea, local inflammation, and frequent desire to urinate. - -.

Dainty lawns made with belted in round waists and skirts full from the waist band with ruffie set on at the knee to reach to the hem are always in good taste. For trimming, bodice, tiny edge of lace on the ruffles and a black ribbon belt with a great flared bow at the waist line in the back, suffices.

The Roman Catholics of Canada have apparently given up hope of securing from the Dominion government rever- sal of the Manitoba laws which forbid the support of sectarian schools from the public funds. Consequently they are trying to secure this public support indirectly. They offered to place all the Roman Catholic schools in Winne- peg under the Manitoba law and under the control of the Winnepeg school board, provided this b6ard would choose & subcommittee of Roman Catholics to whom should be given entire charge of the newly transferred schools, with | portion of the public revenues to SUD- port them. This scheme was at once re- fused by the school board. The next vtep of the Roman Catholics was to mo- tify the Winnepeg school board that they would close their schools at once and send their children to the public pchools, which would involve the erec- ton of several new school houses. The Winnepeg authorities profess their will tugness to supply all the buildings need sd, 50 that the Roman Catholics must NOW send their children to the public pchools, or maintain schools of their own.

That Ono Who Let's Himself Loose In .
Railway Train.
The noisy man who plays cards in
the smoking car of the suburban trains
should be suppressed. He rushes
rudely pushing his way and jostling
people who are stepping on board in
an ordinary, quiet way. He is in a
hurry tC secure a seat IN one of the
compartments where the seats face
each other. When he gets seated he
wells to some friend at the other end
of the car to come and make up a
whist game. Then he finds that the
stranger seated next to him does not
want to play, and he asks hir- if he
will exchange seats with some whist
player if he can find one; and then
prowls all over the car, saying to men
he knows and men he does not know:
Want to play whist" until he finds
one who consents to play.
When he gets the game started he
plays it rnostly with his mouth. When
it is his turn to play he thumps the
cards down will, a bang. and when he
Or his partner takes a trick unexpsct-
eddy with low card he whoops and
laughs in an unnecessarily loud voice.
About every two minutes YOU will hear
him ask: What is trumps?" When
the cards are being shuffled he criti-
cises the playing of the last hand, and
tells his partner how much better it
would have been if he had played the
queen, ''fOr then, don't you know,
could have took the trick with my ten
of spades. See?"
AS he leaves the train and goes up
the street you hear him for block or
two demonstrating in loud voice to
some one how much different the game
would have ended if Smith had led a
trump or if Jones had one more club.
All the railroad whist players are
not like this one. but there is always
one of this class in every smoking car,
and that is one too many.
We repeat, and this time with en-
phasis, that the noisy railroad card
player should be suppressed--Atlants
