crinoline in SIeexes.

AS to evening dresses, the enormous
and outrageous width of the sleeves
is the great feature. Two very ele-
CANT Paris models shown me were Of
velvet as far as the center of the
bodice was watercress-
green in one case, yellow in the other
finished off at the bust with folds Of
velvet and embroidered down the front
on the material with stomacher of
"jewels'' very beautifully. The sleeves
were Of brocade in one case and in the
other a shot glace velvet, harmon
izing III color with the center; they
were made with Il shoulder-strap to go
over the shoulder, and then there was
a few inches space of bare arm and
the immense puff began and continued
to the elbow. These sleeves were, in
fact held out to that size by crino-
line inside them. A piece of narrow
steel passed around the lining just
above the bottom. Firm though the
material was in each case. it could
not have supported itself without this
aid.-London Illustrated News.

Laces in English Palaces.

The princess of Wales has just made

most magnificent old English point
lace, said to be worth something In four
figures Some lace, of course, is as
valuable as precious stones Ven

very well known to the intimates of
Marlborough house that the princess
of Wales, who has always been one
of the best dressed women in Europe,
always keeping within the fashion,
though never countenancing eccen-
tricity, has one cherished hobby in the
direction Of dress; a great fondness
for collecting lace, of which her royal
highness has great number of spec
linens of extreme beauty, value and
rarity, only equaled by the collection
possessed by the queen. who is also q
great connoisseur of the same eXpen.

The Gunmaker Of lion.
JEFFERSON M. CLOUGH RE-
FUSES A TEMPTING OFFER
FROM THE CHINESE
GOVERNMENT.
His Health was Too Poor to Admit At
tention to Business.

(From the Springfield, Mass, Union)
There isn't gun manufacturer In the
United States, who does not know Jef-
ferson M. Clough. He has been intimate
ly associated all his life with the de,
yelopment Of the Remington and
Winchester rifles For years he was SUI
perintendent Of the e. Remington &
Sons great factory at lion, N. Z.
After leaving there he refused tempt
ing offer of the Chinese government to
go to China to superintend their gov
eminent factories,--a accepted In
stead the superintendency Of the Win
chester Arms Co., at New Haven, at a
salary of $1,000 year.
1t was after this long term OF active
labor as business man that he found
himself incapacitated for further service
by the embargo which rheumatism had
laid upon him and resigned his position
more than two years ago, and returned
to Belchertown, Mass, where he now
lives and owns the Phelps farm.
Being man Of means he did not
spare the cost and was treated by lead
ing physicians and by baths Of cele-
brated springs without receiving any
benefit worth notice During the sum
mer Of 1893 and the winter of 1894 Mr..
Clough was confined to his house in
BeIchertown, being unable to rise from
his bed without assistance, and suffer-
ing continually with acute pains and
with no taste or desire for 1000, nor was
he able to obtain sufficient sleep.
EARLY in the year 1894 Mr.. Clough
heard of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People. He began taking these
pills about the first Of March, 1894. and
continued to do SO until the first part Of
September following. The first effect
noticed was a better appetite and he
began to note more ability to help him
self off the bed and to be better gem
orally. Last August 1888 he was able
to go alone to his summer residence and
farm of 1853 acres on Grenadier island,
among the Thousand islands, in the
River ST. Lawrence, where from the
highest land of his farm he commands a
view for thirteen miles down the river.
and sixty of the Thousand islands can
be seen.
Instead of being confined to his bed
Mr. Clough is now and has been for
some time able to be about the farm to
direct the men employed there and he is
thankful for what DR.. Williams Pink
Pills have done for him.
These pills are manufactured by the
DR.. Williams Medicine company, Sche-
nectady, N. Y, and are sold only in
boxes bearing the firms trade mark and
wrapper, at SO cents a box or six boxes
for $3.50 and are never sold in bulk.
They may be had of all druggists or
direct by mail from Or. Williams Medi-
cine company.

BLASTS FROM RAMS HoR.H

misunderstood him, and write essays.
Give thorns the right to live, and
you make law against killing snakes.

wants us to first do something else.

The old serpent hasn't grown an inch

When the devil goes about as a roar

1t is long step toward heaven to be

We must dc the thing that God tells
us to do, before any other good work

1t is doubtful if the man who makes

There is something wrong with the
