WIDOWS MOURNING,

An authority says widows should
wear crape-covered dresses and n
widows cap n year AMI day in the
English fashion. The mourning
period for widows lasts two years, and
III half of the second year the Henri
eta cloth aud grenadine gowns should
be worn simply trimmed with Grape.
The first dress cannot be made too
severe in style, yet it follows the pres
ent fashions very pearly. Box-pleats
of Grape, n wide double box x.pleat
down the trout aud back. are su1i-
cient trimming in the second year. A
yoke of Grape and draped or folded
collar aud belt are also excellent
trimmings. For tall women a deep
fold of Grape around the foot of the
skirt rs n border is becoming, as it
shortens the apparent height. Smaller
and shorter women have "A narrow fold
OF Grape down each seam Of the vol
luminous skirt, or else broad panel
OF Grape down each side breadth.
Three milliner's folds of Grape around
the foot OF the skirt are also liked.
A feature Of mourning dress worn
only by widows is the turned-over
collar and cuffs of white orgaudie or
other transparent white lawn, which
they wear on all occasions during their
use OF grippe. These are about two
inches and halt wide, with an inch
wide hem turned up ou the outside.

HOW TO PREVENT GROUP,

SOME READING THAT WILL PROVE
INTERESTING TO YOUNG MOTHERS.
HOW TO GUARD AGAINST THE DISEASE.
Group is terror to young mothers
and to post them concerning the cause,
first symptoms and treatment is the
object OF this item. The origin of
Group is common cold. Children who
are subject to it take cold very easily
and Group is almost sure to follow.
The first symptom is hoarseness; this
is soon followed by d peculiar rough
cough, which is easily recognized and
will never be forgotten by one who has
heard it. The time to act is when the
child first becomes hoarse. If Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is freely
given all tendency to Group will soon
disappear. Even after the croupy
cough has developed it will prevent
the attack: There is no danger in
giving this remedy for it contains
nothing injurious. For sale by c.. A,

An exchange very truthfully says;
''The credit system is going out OF
style very fast. It has been q curse
both to buyers and sellers. It has
ruined more men and homes than
whiskey or pestilence. 1t has been the
tool of the INSCRIPTIONS, the shiftless,
the indolent and the vagabond to get
something for nothing. It has lured
the honest man into debt and ruined
him. It invites dishonesty and stimu-
lates unnatural demand. It has made
rich many INSCRIPTIONS sellers who
have taken and foreclosed mortgages
and turned families out of doors,
where they never could have sold their
lightning rods and the like for cash,
and it came near disrupting the whole
country two years ago. The credit
system deserves to die. Let US rele.
gate it to oblivion"

The Northwest Passage.

Through all the centuries since the
nations OF Europe became masters of
the worlds commerce, up to the fif-
teenth century, the trade with the
rich countries of the Orient had been
conducted chiefly by long, tedious, and
often dangerous journeys overland.
Navigators conceived thu idea that bv
sailing west from European shores, In
dia would be reached by an all-sea
route. This was the motive of Colum-
bus voyage in 1892, when he found his
path blocked by the new world. Fooled
in this hope, the geographers calcu-
lated, from what they thought thew
knew, that a Northwest Passage, y by
the arctic regions, existed, which
would be practicable for commerce.
In the attempt to find this passage, the
most celebrated land unfortunately ex-
petition was that of Sir John Franklin,
in l845; in which every man perish he'd
The passage was finally discovered
in 1856, by Capt. Mcclure, who sailed
from Behring Sea to Baffiu's Bay, but is
totally lmpracticable as commercial
route. The true 'tNorthwest Passage;
to the Orient now, is by the great rail
roads OF Northwestern America.
