THE BEST TYPE OF BONNET.

The bonnets with the soft, waving
brims are generally becoming. The
multiplying of shapes is necessary to
suit the bonnets to the varied types OF
the American face. The best milliners
have learned the necessity of fitting
and adar ting bonnets and hats to the
individual; they do not attempt, as
too many dressmakers do. to fit all
their customers from'a few imported
models, without regard to the indi-
vidual requirements of face and figure.
The new coronet-trimmed bonnets,
which are called ''directolre," though
the shape is probably copied from the
jeweled "kokoshaiks" worn by Rus
sian women, are not likely to be be.
coming. The style demands facial
outlines not common among our
sprightly, piquant-featured American
beauties. Chicago Times-Herald.

No Patents in Japan.

No patent is granted to foreigner

applying through Il Japanese citizen,

If patent were obtained by false
representation that the Japanese citi"

covered that he was not, the patent

WOMAN MORE HONEST THAN MAN.

It has often been noted that women
are more honorable in money matters
than men, and that it far less rare to
have small loan paid back by a wo-
man than by man. This fact again
appears to US to be fully explained
by the trustee theory of woman
attitude toward money. Women's
are not honester in other things than
men, but the notion of money being a
trust overrides and dominates her other
considerations. The man who borrows
is very apt to forget all about the mat
ter. The woman who borrows feels
that double trust runs with the
money and she cannot rest till she has
repaid 1t. No doubt there are here
also many exceptions, because there
are many bad women. But at least it
is safe to say that women are far less
careless about money matters than
men, and therefore less likely to CON-
nit the small acts of pecuniary dis
honorableness which come from negli'
gence. Take it as whole women are
more careful about money matters
than men and attach more importance
to money. Hence it happens that they
never make great fortunes, seldom &c
bankrupt and generally are rather
more scrupulous than men IN small
pecuniary- transactions. The Specta
tor.

and that they possess great beauty
Their eyes are usually blue, their hail
is like FURNISHED gold, which they
wear long like the German gods.
The Flemish woman is simple to
excess; not because she has poor taste
in her toilet; on the contrary, Flem'
ish woman never goes out on s. Sun
day without heavy silk dress, with
soft frou frou making her steps
The Flemish woman has preserved
intact the admiral naivete of the wo-
man of the middle ages. She is an
ideal mother of family; she has no
ambition, no love for art, for music or
for poetry not a whisper of rebellion
against the domination-often brutal
itality ..of her husband, who in her
eyes, represents pow er, and for whom
she cherishes an admiration which
cannot be shaken.
Bruges Is the only city in Flanders
which in our days has preserved it's
originality, and where at every step
in its deserted streets one feels the
soul of this marvellous Flanders of the
middle ages. Bruges can be proud
also of having the most beautiful wo-
men. When one takes walk at twl-
light in those narrow streets, darkened
by heavy facades of the thirteenth
century, which advance and seem to
bend over out from the low doors of
the houses, walk tlmidly Junoesque
women, draped in large mantel.
Upon their heads they wear broad
brimmed, hats with little plaits, which
permits one to see only the brusque
line of+the nose and the thickness ct
proud lips.
The Flemish women is profoundly
religious, for her God is not tyrsnt,
who, in order that He may forgive,
wishes to be Aattered and to see one
humiliated before Him, Her God is
sweet. She thinks that one must love
Him with human love, as one loves q
gentle child, and that one must put
tender words into prayer. When one
sees them keeling in the shadows
of old churches they give an impress
sion of many statues, grouped there
by the hands of a marvellous artist.
Alas the true Flemish woman will
soon disappear.

FASHION NOTES.


The silk waist, as set-off and com.
plement of q separate skirt of some
handsome description, has taken an
other lease of life.
A woman IN black has the satisfsc.
tion of knowing she is never conspicu-
GUS unless every one else in the room
wears red, green or yellow.
Most of the new tucked evening
gowns of gauzy material have rows Of
handsome lace insertion between, and
this forms an exceedingly pretty ad-
dition.
An applique Valenciennes on ten
inch net, at a low price, provides one
of the handsomest cheap lace trim
mings, which looks of better value than
we have had for long time.
With many of the new velvet boleros
and jacket. bodices will be worn lovely
broad collars of Venice point, point
applique or of very sheer batiste en-
broidered in quaint and beautiful
Flemish or renaissance patterns.
Fawn colors, silvers grays and soft
nuns grays with touch of cream in
them appear among the fall sample
lists of some of the most beautiful
taffetas, liberty satins, lustrous corded
silks, mohairs. alpacas and sheer silk
warp wools.
Moire silk is popular again, and a
handsome costume in a medium shade
of rose Is draped with filmy black lace.
This is for an afternoon reception and
the V.shaped neck is finished with
loose puffs of rose and white lace scat
tered with the finest jet beads.
A tailor costume, made after the
latest pattern. has the skirt with q
wide box-piait in front and plaits all the
way around. The skirt is quite short,
and although the plating at the waist
seems to give bulky effect, it Is con-
sidered to be in the height of fashion.
Violet canvas, with q bodice OF
lowered mauve silk, fulled back and
front, makes pretty gown, and the
vest, belt and collar should be OF vio-
let velvet, with cream lace in the neck
and jabot end falling over the vest.
Violet silk plating may finish the
edges of the bodice down the front.
A very handsome skirt of broadclotb
has trimming of mohair braid put on
in heavy arabesque pattern over all
the seams. The trimming is applied,
after the skirt is finished, at the hem,
and is thought to be in better taste if
the design is graduated. being about
three times the width at the bottom
that it is at top.
Gowns of black canvas woven with a
thread OF violet tinsel, with a violet
velvet bodice, are very pretty and ma
tronly looking costumes. One dis.
played among the imported dresses has
a plain back and is crossed over in
front below the bust, where 1t fastens
with hand-painted porcelain buttons.
Two pointed revers turn back above,
over vest OF point d'Angleterre lace,
and are edged with fur.
Dark.red and black and green and
black among the novelty weaves IN
boucle effects are two very popular
color blendings. The new weaves il
blue and green English serge are es-
pecially attractive this season, and
many of the costumes made of these
materials have natty lacket-bodic:
and seven-gored skirt trimmed with
many rows of soutache braid, with a
short full cape for the street, trimmed
with small buttons and braid-edged
straps.

fant---Was Unable to Use His
Limbs, Neck or Jaws---Itis
All Thing Of the Past
Now, and Charlie
is Well Again.
From, the Press, Utica, N. Y
A year ago last Spring, Charles Calhoun
and his family went to take up their resi-
denee In the pretty little village Of Capron.
N. T., situated few miles west OF the city OF
Utica. Mr.. Calhoun had gone there to WORK
In the mills, and also to secure change nt
air and surroundings for his son, an invalid,
who was at that time about fourteen years
old. For nearly two years he had been q
sufferer from rheumatism. which had at
tackled him'in its severest form, and left him
without the use of limbs, neck and laws.
/. When they moved to Capron he had to be
carried like an infant in arms. The other
day Press reporter went out to hear the
story OF the cure, through the use OF DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
Charlie was found playing about the house
strong, sturdy-looking lad, and bearing no
marks Of the conflict with disease through
which he had passed. The manner In which
the cure was effected ls given here in the
words Of his mother and father:
ut Is three years ago that Charlie began
to experience trouble with rheumatism. The
disease Is not hereditary in our family, and
1t must have been contracted through expo
sure. At frat 1t attacked his lower limbs.
During the first six months he was able to
walk with difficulty. Then the disease
seemed to spread and to take more violent
form. Our boy then lost the entire use Of his
limbs; he could not move the joints OF either
his fingers or his toes: his jaws became set,
something after the manner Of lockjaw, and
he Was not able to turn his head, for the stiff
ness Of his neck. AS time went on he grew
worse rather than improved. All the agon-
fell to his LOT. He wasted away, being unable
to eat or sleep to any degree. Moreover, he
went into frequent convulsioDs.
"We consulted all the, local physicians,
but tho case proved a puzzle to them, and
they could do no good. About this time we
moved to Capron, N. Y, and the superin.
tendent Of the mills advised US to try DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Charlie. This we
did, and after using three boxes. he!couid
throw away his crutches, and now he has
full use of his limbs. The only remnant oi
the rheumatism anywhere Is In the cords oi
the neck, and as You see he ts o pretty
healthy looking boy"

Charles Martin, seaman on the
bark Cambrisn Princess, was not on
board when that vessel reached Port
land, Oregon, the other day, lib days
out from Santos. He will never ar.
rive on any other vessel, either, for he
diei,while furling the maiasail OF the
coast OF Chile. Martin was lying over
the yard, catching the gaskets as they
were thrown to him by the boatswaln.
Suddenly the latter noticed that the
seaman had ceased to assist. After
calling to Martin several times, and
receiving no answer, the boatswain
proceeded to investigate, when he
found the sailor lying over the yard
motionless. Then he put his hand on
the mans shoulder, and discovered
that death had claimed victim. The
boatswain fastened a rope around the
body and lowered it to the deck.
