TO HOLD HER WEALTH.

No small Importance is attached to
the type Of portmonnaie the shoppers
are carrying their samples and small
change in, for : casual glance shows
that something new is to the fore.
This time the burden of feminine
wealth is borne about in white, scar
let, serpent-green and gray purses of
wash leather, made in the long instead
Of round wallet shape, and framed in
gold or silver tops that resemble SER
pent's bodies. Where the swapping
clasp is fitted two upreared snaky
heads, with flashing jeweled eyes, are
set, and the pretty thing is called a
Monte Carlo purse. Just a passing
conoeit, but worthy of note, are silver,
gold and gun-metal net purses, woven
In the shape of tiny stockings. Down
in the toes of these drop small change,
paper bills give the leg a plumpness
that is not unnatural and clasp
makes this metal hosiery fast at the
top. Not few of them are colored
metals, so worked together as to form
minute golf stockings, and such a
purse swings at the end pf the inevita-
BILE chain.
But even our chains are not what
they were. Threads of gun metal,
notched at intervals with pearls or
tiny gold balls, are among the things
not seen month ago. Gun metal
and turquoise balls, or dark metal
with here and there sparkling brill
liant set into the fine links, are newer
still, while the smart, slender, long
handled, black and brown silk umbrel-
las have round knobs of gun metal,
with delicate monograms or single in
itials outlined on them in tiniest paste
jewels. A FLIP to the fancy for gold
chains has been given by discreet
jewellers, who make them of more
threadlike links than ever, but inter-
sperse their length with quarter-inch
long bands of gold brilliantly enam-
eled. Into such chains small en-
ameled watches are strung and worn
tucked carelessly into the dress belt,
or an enameled pencil and minute
purse of gold net are made fast to the
chain instead of a chatelain.-Chicago

A ROMANTIC COURTSHIP.

A wedding which tok place the
other day in Cape Town, Africa, was
the outcome of a most romantic court
ship. The bride was Miss Mary Sim
mons, the daughter of a diamond
dealer; the bridegroom was second
mate Of the steamer Scot. He was a
poor sailor, without prospects, and
Mary's father refused to smile upon
the romance. Young Clifford was sent
about his business and the weeping
Mary was advised to dry her tears and
forget him. Clifford was as reckless
as heart-broken lover in novel. He
returned to his ship and his duties,
and resolved to leave the service when
the vessel should arrive in England.
When off Madeira Barney Barnato, the
millionaire, committed suicide By
jumping overheard. The second mate
plunged after him. He remained in
the water, diving for the body Of the
suicide, until almost exhausted, and
was dragged on board amid cheers and
shrieks Of praise. A purse was raised
for him, the family of the millionaire
presented him with $4,000 and Queen
Victoria complimented him on his
bravery. And then from South Africa
came word from Mary saying that her
father had relented and that If her
hero were ready she would be his wife
as soon as he wished. Clifford re-
turned to Cape Town for his bride with

KEEPING WARM.
Various Queer Contrvances in Oriental
Countries,


A common error is that Orientals in
habit lands of eternal summer and
dress the year through in flowing silks
and wondrous muslins. Many of them
do enjoy this kind of existence. Those
for example, in southern China and on
the great plain of Hindustan, but at
least a hundred millions live in ter
ritory as cold as this city, and at least
fifty millions in a land whose cOndi-
tions are similar to those of Canada
Centuries of civilization have taught
them numberless expedients for secur-
ing comfort and pleasure, in spite Of
the snow and ice which surround them
in the winter season. Many of these
are known and utilized by the western
world, but the most are unknown, or,
if known, are viewed as freaks or
laughable oddities.
Thus, for example, the Japanese and
northern Chinese employ what are
known as pocket stoves. These con-
sist of shells of metal in iron, brass,
bronze, silver, and for the very
wealthy gold. Charcoal or perfumed
charcoal is put into the shell and ig-
nited. The shell itself it inserted in a
special belt or cloth, and worn about
the waist, or is fastened to the inside
of woman's skirt. A cold individual
may wear as many as half dozen Of
these little stoves, while warm
blOOded person is satisfied with one.
There are beautiful little foot
warmers, which can be taken into bed
and in which slowly smoldering fire
safely secured inside of a metal box,
emits warmth the night long, and
makes the coolest bed as delightful as
a hammock in summer weather. Then
there are portable stoves, which burn
perfumed charcoal and can be carried
from room to room. There are pa
jamas which are lined with fur; kimo-
nos, whose interior is as soft as fleece
or the silkiest goat hair; cloaks and
peignoirs, which are really furs with
.the warm side in. There are fur-lined
slippers, and most delightful of all for
those who dwell in chilly rooms, or like
to sleep with the windows open in
midwinter, fur-lined socks or short
stockings, which can be drawn on
in a second, and which make the cold
est floor agreeable to the foot.-New

Oldest German Newspaper.

The Magdeburg Gazette, probably
tne Oldest newspaper in Germany, last
month celebrated it's 250th anniver-
sary. 1t is still conducted by represen-
fatives Of the Faber family, which
founded it in 1647, just at the close of
the Thirty Years War. The present
heads Of the venerable journalistic dy
nasty are the two brothers, Robert and
Alexander Eaber, perpetuating line
almost a century and half older than
that which rules over the London
Times, the greatest if not the oldest of
newspapers. Magdeburg took on the

venerable Gazette, which we'll deserv.

The Stomach.

There is wonderful sympathy be-
tween the stomach and all other parts
of the body, but that between the
stomach and the brain is so active
and perfect that the most skilled ply
scian is often greatly puzzled in try
| ing to decide when one is i'll whether
the brain or stomach is really to blame.
Nothing is more common, for example,
than to meet longstanding case of
dyspepsia in which the prominent and
almost the only symptom is a dull and
fretting headache. While persons have
suffered for many years from what
| they believed to be a grave organic
disease of the stomach, and were them.
selves fully convinced that cancer at
least rs the cause of their suffering.
it turned out that when a post-mortem
examination was made that healthier
stomach than the average was found,
but there were evidences of long stand
ing and serious disease of the brain,
in fact, sick headache is the result of
eating too much and exercising too lit
tie. In the majority of cases it's cause
lies in the fact that the food last taken
is so rich in quality or so excessive in
quantity that the stomach cannot di-
gest it. A simple diet on grains and
ripe fruit with sufficient exercise in the
open air to keep up gentle perspira-
tion, would speedily effect cure. With
some persons this headache comes on
at regular intervals and is the stom-
ach's signal of distress at having been
imposed upon. TO take two teaspoons
full Of powdered charcoal in a glass
half full of water will sometimes give
relief, or teaspoonful of lemon Juice

Athletic George Of Greece,

King George, of Greece, in the
earlier years of his reign, often par
ticipated in the feats of running and
leaping of which his countrymen are
so fond. In order to conceal his ideri-
tity, he entered the contests under the
name of George Papadopoulos. In a
certain amateur contest which he won
he was accused of being professional.
As George Papadopoulos" naturally
could not give satisfactory account of
his identity and antecedents, the crowd
became convinced that he really was a
professional. In order to escape rough
treatment he confessed his Identity
not to be crowd, but to police officer
who managed to get him away to a
place of safety without permitting the
crowd to discover that they had been
threatening their sovereign.

Glass BANGLES.

Both Hindoo and Mussulman women
wear glass bangles, and in the North.
west Provinces they are regarded as
sacred objects. If a glass bangle be &C.
cidentally broken, its pieces must be
gathered together and kissed three
times. Every Hindoo woman wears
these ornaments until her husband
dies, when she breaks them with q
brick or stone, and substitute gold or
silver ones, the sign in the north Of
India that the wearer is widow.
Thus it is that the demand for glass
bangles is never-failing.

The immediate cause of Mr.. Devol's

a postmortem developed the fact that
an abscess had existed. The cause of
the abscess is presumed to have been a
fall which Mr.. Devol received while in
a hamm 1ck, four or fve years ago.
The brain trouble was aggravated by
malaria, which had been in the system
for some time past.
