London, Dec. ia dispatch to the
Standard from Vienna says: 1t is ru-
mored that the Russians have occupied
Port Arthur, situated at the extremity of

is due to the fact that the harbor is free
from ice all winter, which is not the case
with Vladivstock, the present headquar-
ters of the Russian fleet.
1t is proposed to connect Port Arthur

through Manchuria, which in turn will

with q deep frill about the edge, AMI
with insertion or honiton lace in q

AS is the case with all the best house
hold furnishings, whether for the table
or the bed, its beauty is made to de-
pend rather upon exquisite fineness Of
material and perfection of finish than
upon elaboration. Simplicity is con.
sidered essential to true elegance, but,
alas, it is the simplicity that means
greater outlay than do the more ornate
designs. Silk beneath and cotton
above is always indicative OF The high
est degree OF elegance. It is only the
wealthy who can afford to hide their
fine wares, and those lovely spreads
are no exception tt the rule. Their

he must find the cause of my trouble.
Upon examination, he found there
was a Fibroid Tunor in my womb, and
gave me treatment without any benefit
whatever. About that time a lady
called on me, and recommended Lydia

which sends a man on the instant to
