Children are dressing very sensibly
this season. Sweaters for small girls
and boys are one Of the most satisfac-
tory innovations, and they please the
youngsters highly, the boys because it's
just like the baseball big brother, the
girls because it's just like the boy.
Boys wear short trousers now to f.
teen years old, and after that they still
wear them in the summer and call
them golf trousers Very small boys
are being dressed in little trousers and
sailor blouse of fanneIlette. There is
no material better; it looks fresh and
summary, washes well, does not soil as
promptly as cotton, does not mess and
crumple, and though cooler than wool
has yet enough of wool in its texture to
keep the little chap at an even temper
ature, an essential sturdy health, as
every one knows. 1t has been discov-
cred that the very stunning looking
long leather leggings that boys have
been wearing the last year or so are
bad for the legs, stop circulation, numb
the knee and ankle. and all sort of
things, so the boys are not wearing
them any more. Youngsters trot about
in socks, with trousers stopping short
of the knee. The little brown legs look
very nice, but mothers take risks for
their boys if they follow such a fashion.

4 PROlfISING son EME-

Sad and strange as it may be and
is, there are women who drink too
much of that which intoxicates, and
there are women who are inebriates
just like men,, or worse. How to save
such beings is problem which Lady
Henry Somerset thinks she has at least
partly solved. She holds that the Sc
dentary work usually assigned to such
women in reformatory homes is not the
right treatment for them She. there
fore, wishes to place them on a farm
beyond easy reach of all kinds of intox-
icants, and to employ them in such
light work as poultry raising, beekeep-
ing, flower culture, dairying. jam MAX
ing, laundrying and some small amount
of needlework. She has secured for
this purpose, in a suitable location, $50
acres of land on which she will build
cottages. chapel, hospital, chill
dren's home and such other structures

walks of with it, without making any
fuss at all. Should the trap be fastened

no more foxes would come near the bed
After the fox goes away in the trap l

Il have known a fox to take the scent

the fox was travelling a southeasterly
course, and that when he reached that

short distance and then dropped dead

as may be needed, Her idea is to put
the women at work that will interest
them and lead them to take pride in it's
results. There win be a minimum
charge of $1.25 week to inmates, but
all work done is to be credited to them,
and when they are cured and discharg-
ed, whatever balance remains to their
credit will be paid to them as wages
earned. She has asked her English
friends, who have faith in her purpose
and her ability, to furnish money for
the development of this scheme.
There is sense in this idea, although
it does not seem to include any of the

conspicuous just now, But if the latest
'cure" works as its promoters say it is
going to Lady Somerset viii have to
hurry il she means to do much good

who want to see the country's honor

The Frustrating Shocks

Of malarial fever are not to be
counteracted by quinine with any
degree of certainty, or for any
length of time. The eradication
and prevention of diseases of a mi
asmatic type are, however, ascer-
tained possibilities. Long expert
ence has shown that there is infin-
itely more preventive efficacy in the
fine botanic medicine, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, than in the aka
loids, drugs and poisons which were
formerly the only recognized means
of removing and anticipating at
tacks of fever and agde and bilious
remittent. When the system has
been depleted by periodically re-
curing paroxysms, this agreeable
restorative renews the fund of en-
ergy, and is not only positive spe-
cifc, but repairs the damage to the
general health inflicted by all feb
rile complaints partaking OF the
malarial character.

Named the Mareschal Mel Rose

A lady writing of the Empress
Eugene tells the following graceful
story in the Chicago News:
1t was the Empress Eugenie who
named one of our most popular
roses. When General Mel returned
from the scene of his achievements
in the Franco-Austrian war, poor
man gave him a basket of lovely
pale yellow roses.
As a remembrance of the gift the
General had a cutting struck from
one OF the blooms, and when a
charming rose tree had grown up,
took the plant to his royal mistress.
She was delighted, both with the
gift and the gallant donor, but was
surprised to learn that the rose had
no name. "Ah, she said, 81 will
give it a name; it shall be the
Mareschal Niel"-thus informing
the great soldier of his elevation to
the coveted Office of Marshal OF
France. Never, surely, was honor
more gracefully bestowed.

SUFFERING IN SILENCE.

Women are the real heroes of the
world. Thousands on thousands of them
endure the dragging torture of the ills
peculiar to womankind in the silence Of
home. They suffer on and on-weeks,
months, years. The story of weakness
and torture Is written in the drawn
features, in the snllow skin, in the list
less eyes, in the lines of care and worry
on the face.
Unborn modesty seals their lips. They
prefer pain to humiliation. Custom has
made them believe the only hope Of
relief lies in the exposure of exainina-
