X PETIT Ridge in the London Bookman.
1t appears that just as many find it
dificult to begin the writing of a novel,
eo there are some who, having begun and
having got well into the swing of the
work are unable to bring themselves 20
q full stop Thus it happens that the
novel is never finished; is never submit
tel to publishers, and, as a necessary
conseouence. has no opportunity of COM
ing within sight of the public eye. The
following specimens of last pages will. it
is hoped, be of service to those who find
themselves in this distressing predica-
ment:

Is 1t "overwOrk" that has filed this

that takes the flesh off their bones, the
vitality from their blood, and makes
them feeble, emaciated and inefficient?
No. 1t is bad cooking, overeating of
lndigestible stuff, and other health
destroying habits.
The remedy is al artificIally dlgested
food such as the Shaker Digestive Cor

gives it chance to rest by nOurlsh-

The Army Being Prepared For Conflict
With Peru.
A letter from La Paz, Bolivia, states
that the Bolivian congress will declare
war on Peru. There is great activity in
military circles in Bolivia. The army is
being placed on war footing, and re-
cruiting has begun throughout the re-
public. The general staff is studying the
topography of the Peruvian provinces of
Arequipa, Puno and Moquegua, and the
Bolivian press publishes documents to
show that this territory is part of b.
livia.
The Bolivian government has with
drawn its diplomatic representatives
from Ascencion, Paraguay. The latter
nation refuses to send minister to Su-
ere. This further delays solution of
the boundary dispute between these
countries.

wardrobe of exquisitely beautiful gar

set out, was the envy of all society.
A number Of dresses of fine white
swiss are elegantly trimmed in white
swiss embroidery. Among her finery is
an evening dress of canary colored silk
null of almost transparent tissue, made
over silk taffeta lining of the same
color and trimmed in beautiful lace.
One society gown of white faille silk
has its only trimming an all over dra-

There is another very effective in its
combination of black velvet, lace, lemon

The garments are exquisite creations,

figures largely in the trimming. This is

that its fortunate possessor does not ex-

dressed the following letter to Secretary
Olney relative to the immigration bill
"SIR-Will you pardon my addressing
you concerning the bill which see is
before congress, in intent to exclude i'm
migrants who cannot read. If you ex-
clude Italians who cannot read, you
will lose the best and most laborious

which can be properly applied to Ital-

should you suppose the power to spell
out the crimes recorded in cheap news
papers is any guarantee for either virtue
Or intelligence?
Sin Italy the peasantry are almost en-
class which can give immigrants of any
value. I have had many men in my en-
ploy. have invariably found those who
could not read ten times more industri-
GUS, temperate, intelligent and honest
than those corrupted by the trumpery
education of schools. I have had for
20 years an old man (who has been what
is called the odd man in England), and
he can be sent with so commissions to
purchase objects, detailed to him only
orally, and he will execute these com
missions with no single error either of
oblivion or of payment. Such man you
would turn from your shores. while you
would receive the youth corrupted,
emasculated, diseased, through cheap
journalism, bad tobacco and the en-
forced physical idleness of the schools.

BALL COSTUME.

One recently worn by small, short haired
terrier was of gray cloth ornamented with
red braid and fitted him as well as OF bet
ter than his mistress dress fitted her.
Small sachets for distribution through
bureau drawers are often made of fine
white linen and embroidered with wash
silks, like dolly. The sachet powder it
self comes in small paper envelopes, and
the linen is made into case, open at each
end, into which the envelope may be slip
ped. The case Is longer than the envelope,
and the ends are fringed. Violets, forget
menots, maidenhair fern and similar
small floral designs are the favorite decora-
ton, and the case may be washed when it
is soiled.
Fashionable nightgowns now have very
large bishop sleeves and are cut square or
pointed at the neck. A wide collar OF
series of ruff1es covers the shoulders, and
the skirt is full
Medici lace makes pretty trimming for
the edge of flannel petticoats, whether these
are plain or nbroidered. The lace should
be wide-say three or four inches deep
and should be put on a little full.
White muslin, lawn and cambria petit
coats are to be greatly worn. They are
wide and are lavishly trimmed with
founces, lace and embroidery. No other
kind is as pretty as these are, but they re-
auire constant laundering, of course, and
are therefore q somewhat expensive luxury.

blue MORE and silk gauze. The trained
skirt is trimmed around the foot with four
ruff1es Of blue silk gauze, forming a ruche
through the middle of which runs @ gar
