AN ALARMING STATEMENT
CONCERNING M
HOW BAD HABITS ARE FORMED.


The New Yo,k Tribune says: 1.-THE habit Of
taking headache powders is increasing to an
alarming extent among a great number Of wo-
men throughout the country. These powders a.
their name indicates, are claimed by the manu-
f~acturers to be a positive aud speedy cure for any
form of headache. In many cases their chief
ingredient is morphine, opium, cocaine or some
other equally injurious drug having a tendency
to deaden pain. The habit Of taking them q
easily formed. but almost impossible to shake
of. Women usually begin taking them to re-
iieve a raging headache aud soon resort To- the
powder to alleviate any little pain or ache they
may be subjected to, and finally like the moi.
phine or opium iend, get Into the habit oftakins
them regularly, imagining that they are In pain
IL they happen to miss their regular dose"
In nine cases out of ten, the trouble Il
instlie stomach and liver. Take a simple
laxative and liver tonic and remove tho
offending matter which deranges the
stomach and causes the headache. DR..
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are composed
entirely of the purest, concentrated,
vegetable extracts. One Pellet Is q
dose; sugar-coated, easily swallowed,
once used, always in fav0y. They posi-
lively cur sick headache and remove
the disposition to 1t.

A BIT OF ADVICE.
An ONCE Roy Who Thought He Consulted
an Honest Man.

An OHHtC hoy VINO IhOugnu lie NOnSulteu
an Honest Man.
Some years ago, while officiating in
the capacity of office boy in n Of our
retail stores, a bit Of advice was given
to me that have never forgotten.
The establishment being a large one,
enough ink was used to necessitate the
purchasing Of a dozen pint bottles ev-
cry few months. These bottles had ac-
cumulated for a year or more, and as
there was scarcely room in the closet
for the new lot which had just arrived,
the head ofthe counting o instruct
cd me to take them to the water room.
| removed the bottles from the closet,
but put them in one Of the stock rooms
in the basement until lunch time came;
then / took them to a junkshop in q
small street near by, and asked the at
tendant whether he wanted to buy
them. The bottles being of a good
size and we'll made, he offered me two
cents apiece for them, which Melted
me seventy-two cents, as / had in all
thirty-six bottles. l returned to the
office in high spirits over my deal, but
vet a little doubtful as to wheth her the
money really belonged to me, and all
the afternoon / pondered over this
question, but could not decide it to my
satisfaction.
Now, the cashier had always been a
! good friend Of mine, SO l concluded 10
ask him whether l was rightfully en-.
titled to the money.
WELL" he said, naturally you could
have had the bottles had you ask fol
them, but my advice would be to turn
the bottles over to the firm, as little
things of this sort often lead one or
and there would seem no more harm in
taking a step further than in keeping
this seventy-two cents"
turned the money in-very reluct.
antly / must admit-and wished from
the bottom Of my heart that / hat
never mentioned it to him, though hi,
advice was calculated to put one on tn,
right track.
But the funny part is yet to come
Not long ago l read of the trial an,
conviction OF this cashier for embezzle
ment, his depredations having extend
ed over ! number of years.
Horrible doubts now enter my hea
whether the firm ever received tina
money; in fact, 1 feel quite sure tina
they did not. And to think that h

NOTES OF THE FASHIONS,
Fresh Hints and Suggestions on Feminine
Toilets,

Toilets.
Princesse dresses with wide bands of
trimming from the tops of the Shout
ders in a continuous line to the hem of
the skirt, are among the novelties. A
dress of this sort has a quarter of a
yard wide Of braiding at the hem, with
wide bands of braided galloon extend
ing the full length of the garment.
Hair-dressing is running to all sorts
of extremes. A peaked knot at the
crown of the head, a shapeless, sense
less lump of tluffincss on the top Of the
head and an arrangement of crimps,
puffs and rolls that are suggestive of
nothing but a dread that the structure
should fall to pieces, are among the
new ideas.
Crimps are held in place by side
combs These dainty articles are made
Of every Imaginable shape from the
plainest, simplest tortoise shell to elab-
crate arrangements of iiligree that are
neither stylish nor sensible. They are
too pronounced, and look like small
wings mounted on the sides of the head.
Lace in ecru shades is to be one of
the fads of the coming season. We are
to return, it is said, to the days of cof-
fee-colored laccs, and the ingenious
woman will save a cup of her ~favorite
beverage with which to tint the dainty
garnitures for her dresses, wraps and
millinery.
Among the new waists are those with
very much bagginess at the lower part
Of the front. These waists are made
long, then gathered into belts, the cx-
ira fullncss in some cases amounting
to three or four inches, being allowed
to sag over the waist line at will.
Spangles are extensively used on
dressy materials; indeed, they have
been seen on dresses for street wear,
but are not appropriate Tor this pur.
