Summer Blouses.

Sheer white lawn blouses are to be
very popular this summer. They may
be made in serpentine form with long
ends that tie at one side of the belt.
may follow the conventional lines of
the silk or crepon shirt-waist or droop-
ing blouse, or be shaped in some SIM
pie, pretty fashion of the owners own
design. One of these, exquisitely pure
white and sheer, has a deep pointed
yoke formed of alternate rows of fine
linen lace insertion and strips of en-
broidered lawn. There are inn
mense spreading shoulder-caps of
the lawn finished with inser-
ii,,n. and embroidered edges. The
extremely full and airy sleeves droop
over a close forearm of the lawn, COW
cred with rows of the insertion with
lace frills at the wrists. The full
blouse gathered to the yoke droops so
that it nearly conceals the embroid-
cred belt. The wide dropping box
plait in front is likewise embroidered.
Pink, cream and blue blouses are made

The Elephant Liked His Teddy.

1t is curious thing, and one which
/ have never heard satisfactorily ex-
planned, that animals and fowls, and
almost every living creature upon
which the test has been made. take to
intoxicants. Instead of mankind alone,
as Byron had it, being distinguished
from the brute creation by his ability
to get drunk, the exception is largely
favorable to civilized manhood.
thought of this recently when present
at a private experiment on savage and
domestic animals. Without any pre-
liminary education the most savage
animals. the bear and the lion. took to
raw whisky with all the avidity of old
topers. The elephant drank it by the
bucketful, and sighed for more. Any
domestic animal will do the same. 1t

To many people Spring and its duties
mean an aching head, tired limbs, and
throbbing nerves just as the milder
weather comes, the strength begins to
wane and .sthat tired feeling" is the
complaint of all.
The reason for this condition Is
found in the deficient quality of the
blood. During the winter. owing to
various causes, the blood becomes
loaded with impurities and loses its
richness and vitality. Consequently,
as soon So the bracing effect of cold
air is lost, there is languor and lack of
energy. The cure will be found in
purifying and enriching the blood.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the greatest
and best spring medicine because it is
the greatest and best blood purifier.
It overcomes that tired feeling because

it makes pure. rich blood. It gives
strength to nerves and muscles because
it endows the blood with new powers
of nourishment. Itcreates an appetite,
tones and strengthens the stomach ana
digestive organs, and thus builds up
the whole system and prepares it to
meet the change to warmer weather.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is medicine
upon which you may depend. 1t IS
the only true blood purifier prom
inently before the public eye to-day
It has a record of cures unequaled in
the history of medicine. It is the meda-
cine of which so many people write,
Hoods Sarsaparilla does all that It
is claimed to do" You can take
Hoods Sarsaparilla with the confident
expectation that it will give you pure
blood and renewed health. Take 1t now.

after the main addresses was not occu-

was agreed that he be accorded fifteen

Neither has made much headway in gaining either the fear or respect of the native tribes indeed it is asserted that both pay tribute to certain native chieftains for tho honor and privilege of airing their colors over designated territories.
 On the other hand, wherever the British standard has been planted evil dcnces of civilization have at once be- come manifest. From Table bay, with his face to the north, the British pioneer has steadily moved onward. Griqualand west, wherein are located the famous Kimberley diamond mines, became his first conquest. Then, one after the other, he absorbed Betshuanaland, Pandoland, Basuto- land, and finally Zululand, the domin- ions of the fierce and justly-dreaded Ccteyuayo.

 This man Rhodes affords D living example of what push, perseverance and fair ability, combined with op- portunity, may accomplish. The writer knew him not more than ten or twelve years ago, when he was plain Cecil Rhodes, miner and speculator, at the Kimberley diamond fields, His level head and indomitable energy served him well then, and he soon became rich, retired from active commercial life, entered politics and was elected to the Cape parliament. He at once be- came leading figure in that body, rose rapidly in favor and public popularity, when about four years ago he was made premier of Cape Colony, which position he still retains.
 He has made many expeditions to tho far north interior, and since being prime minister he has constantly used his powerful influence in furtherance of British interests in South Africa. Two years ago Queen Victoria be- slowed upon him knighthood in recognition of these services, but the later perpetuation of his name in . state is the most to be envied of all his honors.
 Rhodesia, as before stated, is com prised of the two native territories, Matabele and Mashonaland. The for mer, Matabele, was for many years un- der the despotic rule of the renowned Lobengula, the most powerful as well as the most cruel of modern African monarchs. With his army of 75,OOO thoroughly disciplined troops, he was veritable African Sitting Bull, and gave the English no small amount of trouble. Had his army been equipped with modern implements of war the birth of Rhodesia would doubtless have been considerably deferred, if not in- definitely postponed. But like the long, dark procession of South African monarchs, including the ill-fated Ceteyuayo, which had gone before him, the naughty Lobcngula was over SOiuS, SuolhitlSu lO IilC pdlS-ldSCi uC- cepted the scarlet coat and annuity of rum and tobacco, and very soon after ward completed the example by sud- denly dying.
