SOME CAUSES FOR DROWNING.
Painting and Swallowing Water
Frequently Responsible for Death.

Painting and Swallowing Water
Frequently Responsible for Death.
When a good swimmer, as so often
happens, dives into deep water and is
never seen again, his death is always
ascribed to Cramps" says the London
Mail. This view is, however, no longer
accepted by careful observers. Cramp
is frequent cause, no doubt, but by
no means the only one. Syncope, or
fainting, for instance, is answerable
for many deaths. Many people who
have been splendid swimmers, but who
have taken no violent exercise for ayear
or two, plunge in after fatiguingwallz,
and their heart simply fails to come up
to the scratch; they faint and down
they go. 1t should never be forgotten
that the GOODNESS of the water throws
an immense sudden strain upon the
heart, and that, if there is anything like
a flaw in that organ, it is pretty sure to
break down. Another cause of large
number of drowning accidents is the
entrance of water spray into the lungs.
You are swimming in choppy sea
against the wind. Suddenly wave
breaks in your face, and the wind blows
the spray down your throat. The re-
suit is a terrible convulsive effort of the
lungs to eject the water, and instant
Inconsistencies. You go down, and
people ascribe your loss to the one and
only "cramp."

and disease in womanly way. For such
women wifehood only holds out the pros
pect of suffering and motherhood the pro-
liability of death.
There is no reason why tHs should be
true. If woman will take proper care of
the delicate and important organs that make
wifehood and motherhood possible, there is
no reason why she may not be a healthy and
happy wife and mother DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription is the greatest of all
medicines for women More of 1t has been
sold than of any other medicine for women.
Over ninety thousand women have testified
to its marvellous results. 1t acts directly on
the distinctly womanly organism, and gives
it strength, health and vigor. 1t allays in
flammation, heals liberation, soothes pain
and tones the nerves. II does away with
the ailments of the period of anticipation
and makes baby's advent easy and almost
painless. It insures the new comer's health
and an ample supply of nourishment In

FRUITS CANNED AT HOME.
They Are Cheaper and Better Than
Store Goods.


Store Goods.
1t is said the American stomach has
universally suffered from the use of
canned goods This, of course, applies
only to bought goods which contain
some chemical to preserve them. Peas,
beans and tomatoes are treated to pre-
serve their color, and with the excep-
ton of tomatoes all vegetables, it is
said, contain something to prevent fer
mentation. Fruits, being without
starch, keep more easily than vegeta-
bles, but many are variously treated to
insure their fair appearance as COM
mercial articles. Nearly all fruits, and
some vegetables are easily canned for
winter use; and if houseikeeper once
supplies her own Storeroom, bought
goods will never after have an attrac-
ton for her. 1t Is a mystery why we
use canned tomatoes when we are so
often warned against their injurious
effects, and when home-canned ones
are so much BETTER altogether whole
some, so easily prepared and keep so
well. Perhaps it is because of an i'm
preston that the bought ones, at nine
or ten cents a can, are cheaper. This
is not the case. The first cost of quart
jars, at retail, is 60 cents a dozen. To
matoes, at the height of their season,
can be bought, even in cities, at 25 or
even 20 cents bushel. So even the first
season a quart jar would not cost ten
cents, and after that the cost of the
jars can be subtracted, making the cost
of the canned vegetable nominal.-Ella

Companion.

Tea Gowns Are Popular.

Tea gowns have always been popular
with women since they were introduced
and this dressy affair is courted by
many women both summer and winter.
A gabrielle front and Vatican back are
inseparable from the regulation tea
gown, though the most elaborate and
newer editions of this style of dress
are more like a fancy princess dress
than anything else. However, in this,
as in all other garments, variety is the
rule, and the manner of trimming and
change of materials lend style and eff
feet to the garment more than the orig
inal cut. which may be in belted style
or not, as the fancy dictates.-Chicagc
Chronicle.

FASHION NOTES.
Neat and Pretty Features of the New
Costumes.

Neat and Pretty Features of the New
Costumes.
Chine effects are still the keynote of |
very many elegant and pretty fancies
in the world of dress, the patterns APP
pearing among silks, satins, muslins
and sill-and-wool fabrics and instead
of the crisp frou-frouish taffeta silk
dress lining, pretty chine brocades are
much used. Then a flounce of the same,
cut bias, pinked on both edges, and
placed inside the hem, is imperative.
These fancy silks look well for o
change, but the shot patterns, or, bet
ter still, the plain lustrous taffetas in
monochrome, are really the most ele-
CANT and refined choice.
Some of the new dress skirts have a
vertical or otherwise circular trimming
carried from the waist downward to the
depth of half yard or so. Many wom-
en- will be glad of this fashion, for
perfect figure below the waist line is
rare, and it is always the study of the
modiste to rectify this trouble, and the
severe uncompromising skirt that has
so long prevailed gave the wearer no
chance of improving upon too great
slenderness, nor of moderating the re-
dundancy of the figure by judicious
trimming. For the first-named defect,
circular decorations are carried quite
around the figure about the hips, and
for the second, vertical garniture of un-
equal length, and slightly radiating as
they descend, greatly modify the effect
of over broad hips.
The checked, brocaded, striped and
barred silk-and-wool materials i'm
ported this season are suitable for any
ordinary occasion, and if tailor-made
and stylishly trimmed, they form ele-
giant church, visiting and carriage cos
tunes. Some of the mohair Siciliennes
are likewise as handsome in appearance
as rich silk, and the white and cream
patterns for evening, bridesmaids, and
graduation dresses are as elegantly dec
GRATED and delicately silk lined as white
satin or taffeta silk.
The woman who wishes to look her
best must never blindly follow any and
every new caprice of fashion, but aim
to adapt fashion to her own special
needs. Take, for instance, the very
large ruches and collarettes now so
popular. Very many women purchase
these full frilly accessories, with no
thought beyond selecting the shapes
which please their fancy. They put the
huge airy yokes about their necks, and
in not few cases they have bison-like
appearance. As rule, the all-round
collarettes are not so becoming to most
figures as the pompadour style, or, bet
ter still, the shape cut in deep points
one on either shoulder, the other two or
three on the front and back respective
ly. Some of the latest collarettes are
much elongated, not meeting just in
front, but tapering downward, forming
sort of border to the wide box plat
which still distinguishes the front of
many fancy waists this season.-N. Y.
