Look out for Grip-what to Do.
Nearly every physician. every scientist and
every sufferer has been asking this great ques-
tion: What is tho Grp2 Some have asserted
that It is n dangerous microbc which comes
into the system. breeds several millions every
second and soon overruns the body with dis
ease. Others have said that We are passing
through n region Of star-dust, and that the
minute particles are drawn into the body with
every breath. Whatever It may be. IL 10 cer-
tain that 1t is something within the body which
is fighting with the body to undermine the life.
What would common sense dictate in such an
emergency Counterfeit the enemy. Drive II
from the system. NO not trine with 1t. Act
promptly and wisely at the nrst approach Of
the symptoms, which you can readily detect.
Take something which can counteract their
deadly influence. Spirits Of some kind are the
best things to take. and whlskey is preferable
to any other kind of spirits. But IL should bo
borne very carefully In mind that only pure
whiskey will have the effect. and II should also
be remem bored that Duffy's pure malt whskey
stands NJ tho head Of all preparations and is the
only medicinal whskey upon the market.
There are many unsorupulous dealers who will
assure you that any whiskey will answer the
purpose. but they are wrong and are trying to
deceive you.-IdU.

1 frivolous and fetching than the dress of the bud, but they must remain with in bounds easily felt but not so easily described. The guests, who have no duties of hospitality, wear their hand somest visiting costumes.
 Two or three toilettes noticed at re- cent afternoons may be described An extremely rich dress had a petticoat front of a delicate, watery shade of green, elaborately embroidered with silk and jewels. The princess back was of old rose velvet and lay upon the floor in half train. The tight-fftting bodice front was scalloped on the left side, partly covering a deep fall of lace, from below which came the right side of the bodice forming bar belt. The sleeves had full puffs of velvet at the top. The neck was finished with iaring collar of velvet, with a lace lining.
 A second costume was of handsome gray Venetian cloth with a heavy em- broidery of silver passementerie edg- ing the hem. A short over drapery, also embroidered, opened in the middle of the front and rounded off behind. There was blouse waist of gray velvet in loose box plaits. Between the plaits came jabots of lace. Under the arms was bolero jacket formed of rows of heavy lace and sable. There was vel vet collar edged with sable.
 Less elaborate than either of these but effective in it's own way was a cos tune of Havana brown silk with a plain skirt and Russian blouse bodice completely covered with intricate braiding. The cut and fit of this dress were perfection. 1 jeweled waist belt and f1aring neck ruche of heavy lace formed important accessories. \ pie ture hat of black velvet completed the effect with its plumes and high bows.

Rapia Rxtinction of the senl.

During the past two years, under the efficient direction of Dr. Jordan, elab- crate investigations, including some thing like an actual count, have been
 made to ascertain the number of seals frequenting the Pribylof islands. Other studies have strengthened the eonelu- sion that the number has greatly di- unfinished within the past decade and
 is now greatly and rapidly diminishing. In spite of the regulations of the Paris tribunal pelagic sealing has increased
 enormously, while legitimate killing upon the islands has been largely dis continued. That was charming thrust of Lord Salisbury's when he said
 that the English interest in the fur seal industry had for some years ex- ceeded the American, for it is begin hing to be apparent that while the Americans have busted themselves ar ranging for arbitrations, seeking in- ternational cooperation and organizing scientific commissions to prove again what had been proved before, their sleepless adversaries were quietly gath ering in the profits, realizing that the business must soon be closed up any how. In the report of 1892 the Brit ish commissioners had no intention of indulging in humor when they sug- gested as one of the most desirable
 measures the setting apart of at least one of the two seal islands entirely for the purpose of breeding seals for pelagic sealers, no land killing to be
 allowed there.-Prof. T. c. Mcndenhall,
 in Appleton's Popular Science Monthly.

 debutante's tea is the matron's chance to size up the debutante; hence its growing reputation as an ordeal.
 The girl who passes muster success fully has a brilliant winter ahead of her; she is asked everywhere, deferred to, made much of. She is recognized as an attraction. The girl who doesn' t pass muster is doomed to duIlness unless she is blessed with a peculiarly gifted and persevering mamma
 A girls preparations for the simple little function that is yet of such vital importance to her are the cause of much hrain-raeking. Her dress must be quiet. It must be free from every suspicion of ostentation or needless ex- penddture of money. It must suggest youth, simplicity, modesty. It must look aftless, without strain; yetit must exhaust all the resources of genius to bring out every good point of face and figure and to conceal the bad ones. The hair must not be dressed eIab- orately. No ornaments, or very few. must be worn. 4 girl must lot look as if she had dressed to make an impression, but she has failed unless she leaves a deep one. A debutante is allowed to GRITTY flowers. It is her business to stand quietly beside her mother and to respond as simply and as gracefully as possible to the greetings of the guests to whom she is presented. She knows she is on exhibition and is undergoing critical examination, but no suspicion of such Knowledge must appear.
 This seasons teas are just beginning. At one of the earliest and most notable a young girl who has been compli- mented since with invitations to "pour'' for six other girls, and who has had the pleasure of seeing the teapot run never-eeasing streams. faced the music in turquoise blue. A month had been consumed in deciding upon the color a month of rummaging the shops and wearing out the brain tissues of dress makers. The peculiar delicacy of the girls blond complexion at last forced the decision. Tn the shade chosen it looked fair and perfect as the inside of a seashell
 The girls figure, though not angular, is too slender. and her bodice was clev- erly arranged to remedy this trouble. Apale blue glace silk was covered with turquoise blue chiffon, accordion plait- ed and gathered about the shoulders into soft outings which gave almost the effect of a fichu. The sleeves were built on the same lines and gave fua- ness and roundness to the arms An

effective and yet not too striking color contrast was brought out by waist band and high bow of eornfiower blue satin. The skirt was of turquoise blue silk, trimmed with tiny ruffies beaded with chiffon. This costume was essen tially girlish; it was dressy without be ing too elaborate and nothing could have suited better the soft brown hair and the lovely color, like the first faint dawn of a blush, that swept over the delicate face now and again.
 l have seen only one other coming out reception as pretty. This second affair was in the evening. The girls father assisted the mother in receiving the guests and there was a big, good looking brother who took the debutante out to supper afterwards.
 Thecoming-oute costume was white in this instance, a dainty frocl1 of white silk, 5cat after a pretty modification of the empire style, It was open at the throat to show the firm, round neck, but the gown was far from being deeoliete. It had loose front of nous seline de soie, lightly embroidered with pearls and silver, and held in place by bands of white satin ribbon that crossed in front and passed under the arms. The skirt was gracefully cut and untrimmed The debutante held loose ly in her hand bunch of white Japan csc cbrysanthemnms.
 An evening reception is much less usual at present than tea, when a debatante is to make her bow At the afternoon affairs everybody present dresses with the most serupulous care The costume of the tea pourers. who may be newly fedged debutantes them selves or young matrons, require the most anxious consideration. They may be. indeed are expected 10 be, far more
