A WORLDS FAVORITE.
Fashions May Come and Go, but
This Has Come to Stay.

This season has brought many fash
ions. But hundreds of the styles which
have come will as quickly go and he
heard of no more. One, however, is sure
to remain.
1t was caught up by the fashionable
world as a desirable ornament; il was
Endorsed for its usefulness by the middle
classes and accepted by the masses as
necessity of life.
1t was a success, a success because II
rested upon common sense. This uni
versal fashion is the full-length over
garment. When lined with warm fur il
protects the Sleigh Belle against the win
ter's cold; il made of checked waterproofing
it attractively shelters the Easter Lily
from april showers. The Summer Girl
travels immaculate from SCOT and dust
beneath its dainty linen covering; the
Mountain Maid under its cloth draperies.
shrugs her pretty shoulders at the autumn
Billiards.
Al all seasons 1t is becoming and adds
to the attractive out wardness OF feminine
humanity. 1t is, however, not only IN
attractive outwardness that common sense
rules, but in the true inwardness OF life as
well.
Here is a case in point:
Some years ago the head OF the most
successful health institute in America, the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, ut
Buffalo, n. Y, set out 10 make a much
needed discovery, which should be founded
on common sense and appeal 10 the common
sense of common humanity. This man, r.

DR.. LODGE ON CIVILIZATION
He Defines the Part Played By
Christianity.
Able Lecture Delivered at Columbian
University by a Former WASH
ington Pastor.

Yesterday afternoon. in the lecture room
OF Columbian University, Rev. DR.. James l..
Lodge delivered lecture on christianity
Gs Factor in Civilization" before the
students of that institution, and a number
OF other hearers.
Dir. Lodge now resides at Gaithersburg,
Md, but was for many years the pastor OF
the North Baptist Church OF this city and
the Gay street church, Georgetown, and
many of his former friendsand parishioners.
The lecturer was introduced by his son.
Prof. Lee Davis Lodge, the head of the
school OF political philosophy of the Uni
versity. The lecture was over an hour
in the delivery, some OF the main thoughts
of it, briefly stated, given below:
The names, civilization and christian
ity, have been so long and so loosely EN-
ployed TO designate associated ideas that
IL seldom occurs to question the character
and extent OF the one or the actual agency
of the other in its production. The diction-
ary meaning Of Northumberland bar
barity, citizenship as concomitant or con-
sequcnce-has cost infinitely to attain.
More difficult yet will il be to realize the
better definition OF Burke, that civiliza-
ton is possession OF the spirit of gentle
man and the spirit of religion.
1t would be preSumptuous and rash to
date the beginning OF human Improvement
from the Christian era. What is called
Christianity, as a formal system, and as
il has been known in history, has pla yed
but a poor part in bringing 10 pass the de-
gree OF civilization at present existing.
In this discussion some notice should
be taken OF progressive economic condi-
lions, especially as the commercial in
stinct was seized upon 10y Divine Proyi-
dence in the first decades OF the Christian
era as an active and fruitful instrument in
the dissemination of that knowledge upon
which the true advancement OF the nations
has depended, and still depends. In later
centuries commerce has opened up the
way to foreign missions. So civilian
ton is in a mea sure indebted TO commerce.
The most powerful factor in the re-
clamation and development Of men has
been and is to be religious education. We
must never use the word except in the sense
OF the derivation from its Latin root.
Nor is il permitted To attempt, what can
never be done, the enforcement OF moral
cultivation from the intellectual. With
out an indissoluble union, the worthiest
and best is impossible TO either.
Progress through the humanities TO the
higher attitudes OF true science and phil
osophy procures that culture which, by
Confessng the power TO analyZe and de-
duce, presents man 10 himself, and makes
him master first OF himself and then OF
all others. Sanctify this ability, mingle
with ii knowledge of and allegiance to the
| highest form OF truth, and you have civilian
tion in its grandest and most enduring
FORM

time. by the use OF DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. His @Golticn Medical Dis
coyery' is converting weak and weary,
helpless aud hopeless men, women and
children into strong, vigorous, happy
beings. The latter medicine is the great
blood purifier, nerysfood and flesh builder,
imparting nerve force and building up not
fat, but solid. firm flesh, when reduced be-
low healthy standard by wasting
diseases" 1t does not make too corpulent
people more fat but builds up the solid,
muscular flesh to the healthy. or normal
standard-thereby rounding out the form
and figure and rubbing out premature
wrinkles.
The Golden Medical Discovery" is an
invigorating tonic and cures indigestion
or dyspepsia. liver complaint or bill
iousness." and for lingering coughs aud
all long standing bronchial affections, il
is simply unequaied.
Serious Illness often has its beginning
in neglected little things. Even dread
consumption comes on by degrees, and
may begin with very slight arrangement
Taken in time, 9S per cent. OF all cases
OF consumption can be cured. Taken 10
time, no disease need be really serious.
The best safeguard against disease is
an active, healthy liver. That means
GOOD, SOLID, HEALTHY FLESH.
The germs of disease seek out the weak
spots in the body. Don't have any weak
spots. If you have them now, clear them
out, tone them up, make them strong Dr..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery will do
it. II searches out all poisonous matter and
disease germs OF whatever character. 1t

whole body. 1t forces out impure matter,

THE LAUNDREss QUEEN.
Picture OF the Woman w no VIII Lead
Lead the Lenten Festival


The annual mid -Lenten masquerade celc
bration OF Paris occurs this year on March
IL and great preparations for it are being
made. This feast is always presided over
by laundress who is picked out because
OF her personal beauty and charms.
The honor has fallen this year upon Hen
riette Defoulloy, who Is one of the clear
starchers'' of famous esta blshment which
has already provided several queens and
maids OF honor for this festival.
Nile. Defoulloy is a dark-eyed, entranc-
ing and slim brunette OF seventeen. Her
selection as queen is even a greater com
pliment than is usually implied in the choos-
ing, for this year an entirely new system
OF picking out queen has been adopted.
In former years the candidates them
selves used to gather together and choose
one Of their number. This winter the can
didates, OF whom there were thirteen,
were ordered to select five OF their number,
and these five afleTward appeared before
the male organizers of the fetes, who
looked them over carefully and pronounced
Judgment. finally picking out Mile. Defoul-
10y. The new system is better one. for
it does away with the traditional wire
pulling that there used to be when the girls
themselves had the elective power.
To be a queen OF queens in these mid
Lent festivals means a great deal TO q
Partisan laundrcss. She not only has the
enormous public honor OF being carried
along the streets on a throne and of having
popular verdict upon her cha rms. but she
is also presented to the President OF the
Republic.
Her emoluments. besides, are very con-
siderable. The carnival committee gives
her 500, and other golden perquisites
come 10 her from The chief police Off
Gals of her district, from the municipal
councillors and from others. Last year the
queen received splendid bracelet from
President Faure. She is also given gala
robes, and these include garment that
she can afterward use as a wedding dress.
But the requirements OF being royal per-
gonage during the fete are hard for
Partisan girl TO meet. for she must not
only be beautiful and shapely, but she
must be also clever. a perfect mistress
OF her trade, and OF unblemished and I'M
deniable character.

or bood-and whether il was called neu-
ralgia. dyspepsia. female weakness, brain
fag." insomnia, heart disease or nervous
prostratiun, DR.. Pierce reasoned. and very
properly, that the cause was due TO our high
pressure manner of living. He found, fur
thermore, that these disorders could not
be reached by the remedies of other nations
or other times, but that these peculiar and
hitherto and unknown conditions called for
a peculiar and hitherto unknown system of
treatment. People who burned the candle
at both ends did not need a stimuant, but
q new means OF strength, which could only
be gained by creating new tissues, new
blood and new nerve force. After long
experiments covering many thousand cases,
he gave to the profession and the public
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and
DR.. Pierce's Favortte Prescription. These
differ from all other medicines, compounds,
emusions, tonics and sarsaparillas as bread
differs from straw.
The combined use of these medicinal
compounds supplies a most efficient and
scientific course of remedial treatment
that has proven marvelously successful in
curative results in a great diversity of
obstinate chronic diseases.
and the object Of his common sense RENE
dies, was not to give patients course Of
temporary ysical patchwork but to
go to the root OF disease and effect per-
manent cures. The result is that in every
city, town, and county of the Union, mer-
chants, farmers, mechanics, and laborers,
their
WIVES, MOTHERS, AND DAUGHTERS,
have taken his medicines into their homes,
and that they are there as household goods.
His "Favorite Prescription is increasing
the outward attractiveness and the true
nwardness of the "Sleigh Belle" the
Easter lily the Summer Girl" the
Mountain Maid,' the House Wife and
Home Worker, because it supplies the
needed nerve and brain food, through
enriched and vitalized blood, and thereby
gives the true elements of new health,
strength and life. DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription is of purely vegetable COM
position and is perfectly harmless in any
condition of the system. 1t exerts a won
derful soothing, healing, and strengthening
power over woman's delicate organism.
| 1t is an inyigorating tonic for the whole
system, and is almost an infallible specific
for the peculiar weaknesses, irregularities
| and painful arrangements of woman.
