Magnetized Corset steels.

Every day something new is found
about electricity and its effects" said
Mr.. Fay of the Southern Pacific. ''Do
you know that nine enths Of the UNI
brellas that men carry nowadays are
magnetized? Well, they are, and all
that is necessary to prove this is to ap-
ply the point Of your knife Or, better
STILL small pen point against the steel
rib. The attraction is very perceptlble.
and it is caused by the carrying Of the
article inside Of the electric cars. The
umbrella is rested upon the floor near
the motors, and the proximity Of the
metal causes certain quantity Of the
fluid to find permanent lodgment in
the ribs.
Carrying out the idea, it is very
likely that the corset steels Of the ladies
are similarly affected. Think what
the consequences would be if a young
man with steel cuff buttons should hug
a girl with magnetized corset steels!'

Funeral Plants.
The olive, oak, laurel, myrtle, rose
mary, cypress, amaranth and parsley are
all funeral plants among the Greeks and
Romans. ''To be in need Of parsley"
was a Greek euphemism Indicating the
death Of the person SO described. An
Athenian army once marching against
the Lacedemonians was stampeded on
its way out of the city by meeting two
mules laden with parsley, the omen be-
ing that the whole army would soon be

SCOTS
OEmulSiOn

Is the standard emulsion the
world over. There is not a
man, woman or child who is
run down or emaciated or has
weak lungs that SCOTS Emul-
sion will not benefit. When
you ask for it you will likely
be told by the druggist that
he has an emulsion !" just as
good" 1t is not true. No
emulsion Is as good.
SCOTS Emulsion has bene-
fitted millions of people. Ask
your druggist if he can refer
you to a single case that has
been helped by the unknown
emulsion he sells, and if so,
we will send you a book giving
thousands of cases. You want
the standard; not something
that nobody knows anything
about.

although really more becoming to the hand

Boots are more fashionably correct than
shoes to wear with the day toilet, but new

silk stockings when boots compress the
ankles uncomfortably. Persons whose

PREVAILING MODES.
Buttons Large and Small For Ornament,
Not Use-SOme New Fabrics.

Not USe-SOme New Fabrics.
The sleeves of some of the new coats
show novel arrangement. They are
stitched down in folds from the wrist to
the elbow, and above this the fullness of
the plaits merges into the puff which
forms the upper half of the sleeve.
Buttons enter largely into this season g
trimmings. They are small, medium and
large sized and are of all degrees of plain
ness and ornamentation. Clusters Of but
tons, very small, often form tho chief
adornment of street costumes and coats,
while elaborate and expensive ones are
still prominent on more ceremonious gar
ments.
The bodice buttoning down the middle
OF the back is coming forward again to
the distress of women who do not keep o
lady's maid. There Is hardly more for
lorn hope in history than that upon which
solitary woman ventures when she at
tempts to button her own tight fitting
gown between the shoulders behind.
Aside from Grape novelties-and there
are several of these without important

RIGS with rough surfaces. One of these has

trasting colors. An extreme novelty has q
