tional holy places that are shown to

teed to be the actual place where this

On my second visit to the wailing
place of the Jews, two years after my

There was really no occasion to dam
up the lachrymae food, and it wa en-
tirely unnecessary to force back my
emotions so as to be perfectly calm
and passive. There was really nothing
to be sensitive about. Men in broad
brimmed hats and long coats, with oily
faces and curling ear-locks, stood by
the wall and groaned and muttered
most perfunctorily. Sleek-faced wo-
men, wearing their whitest kerchiefs
and their gayest head-dresses, sat on
comfortable stools, holding their books
in their laps, gossiping most amicably
with their neighbors, retailing the lat
est scandal or news Of the quarter, do
ing fancy work like any Christian girl
at a summer resort, or taking note of
some new and particularly fam
boyant design in neckerchiefs.

The one great novelty in the com-
ing millinery fashions is the use of
vegetable silk for the fancy plaits,
which are at least an inch wide. This
has the most silky and charming
sheen upon 1t. The more expensive
kinds are made entirely Of vegetable
silk. but it is initiated in silk combined
with hemp. Here, again, the range Of
colors is very bright. indeed; vivid
pinks, yellows, green's, petunia shades
and many others are ready to be made
UP into the fashionable hats and bon
nets, while others show a combination
Of two colors and sometimes three,
such as pink. yellow, light green and
cream. It is very light and Is likely
to effect quite a revolution. This same
fabric has been woven into an open
gauze Of a very light, thin make in
various colorings. and it is being
ruched and gathered to form ruches
for the inside Of hats. Some Of them
are shot, and many Of these vegetable
silk straws have the two colors com-
bined in such a way that they also y
pear to be glace, while quite a new mo-
ton is narrow straw freely striped
In two colors with the same effect OF
combined coloring.

From the Capital, St John, Kansas.
Hearing that ]. H Detwiler, a prosperous
farmer who resides about three miles east
Of ST. John, Kansas, had been using DR..
Williams Pink PILLS with marvellous bene-
fetal results, a reporter Of the Kansas City
Star called upon him for an interview re-
garding the matter. We found Mr.. Det-
wiler a tall and apparently well preserved
mar of seventy years. Upon our interrogat-
ing him concerning his use of Pink Pills he
gave us the following, and with his entire
consent to its publication.
81 had been troubled for several years
with extreme nervousness. AT first it did
not prevent me from attending to my farm
duties. About three years ago, however. |
began to grow rapidly worse, then my
nights became ~sleepless, and ! could not
sleep two hours in an entire night. | be-
came terribly effected too with Indigestion.
l became alarmed at my condition. and CON
suited a physician. One doctor told me the
trouble was insomnia, and | took his medi-
cine for that, but without relief. Another
told me it was nervous prostration, but his
medicine had no more effect than the same
amount of water. Finally, seeing DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills advertised, and noticing
particularly the testimony of a person who
had been cured by them OF a very similar
disease to mine, l determined to try them.
| called upon cur local druggist, Mr.. j.
Stivers and procured a supply. | began
taking them, and in a very short time my
nervousness was less severe. After had
given them q through trial, / found myself
entirely cured. | can now lie down at
night and go to sleep without the slightest
trouble. furthermore the cure has been
permanent, and | can recommend Pink Pills
to all who are afflicted as l was, for their
equal cannot be found.

1t Is more thickly populated than any

rhe business Of some Of the oc-
cu3ants of the rooms ia charge OF GER
tain chambermaids was being discussed
by a number of these hardworking
women the other day and one little
chdmbermaid was heard to say:
Il never experienced anything like IT
in all my day. Everything was all
right until one OF these new reform
women or something Of that spPr.
came here to live. She converted al
the other women and now my life IS a
burden to me. 1t all commenced With
the bed sheets; she keeps herself in a
perfect fever lest l should happen to
change them. She doesn't want the
under sheet placed for the upper one;
and she talks as If her nervous system
never would recover If by any chance
l should turn them upside down; that
is, turn them over SO that the side
she slept on last night comes
tonight against the mattress on
blanket. She says that would be I'M
cisanly, and so, of course, unhealthy.
If she is in the room when | am doing
her work she stands over me to see
that those sheets are unchanged, and
If she isn't there she marks them with
a pencil so she may be sure they are
put on right. She talks physical cul-
ture' and 'woman's rights, ETC., by the
hour to the other women, and has got
them all converted to her sheet fad
Now, / wouldn't say a word IL / hadn't
found out for certain. sure that she
strains at gnats and swallows camels.
For instance, she has got a cabinet OF
rare china in her room which she never
allows me to touch. She takes care of
it herself, and you can write your name
in the dlst on it any time. She often
bed before it has been aired a bit. She
never washes her teeth but once a day,
for she says herself she doesn't. She
walks a good deal because it is such
healthy exercise; her dresses are too
long for walking, and SO she m
home with the skirts all wet and mud
dy. Ever So many times she goes into
dinner with both the under and out
side skirt dgabbled like that. Then
when she takes them off she hangs
them away IN her closet without eve
touching them until she gets ready to
wear them again. Oh, l tell you, it
isn't always the women who talk the
most about cleanliness and healthful-
ness that observe the rules for them"
And the little white-capped maid
marched away to her duties, with a
pile of freshly laundered towels on her
arm.

most wonderful change in the appear
ance. One can well afford to make
extra long nights for the sake OF Sc
curing a good complexion. When the
paste is removed, the face must be well
washed with tepid water, and very
gently rubbed with a little cold cream,
which is excellent when made as fol-
lows: Spermacetti, 500 grammes; pure
wax, 100 grammes; oil of sweet al
monds, 500 grammes; rose water, so
grammes. Put the wax and sperma-
cetti into a vessel placed in a kettle
of boiling water; stir them gently un-
til melted. Pour the mixture into a
marble mortar and allow it 10 become
cool. Then stir it gently for an hour,
add six drops of essence of roses. and
beat the mass until it is perfectly
smooth and white. Applied to the
face after bathing or exposure to the
sun, the cream has a very soothing and
healing effect. s
