Gowns of embroidered moussoline do
sole have been extremely fashionable this
summer, and, as they always are made up
on silk Innings, will be quite warm enough
for autumn wear. These gowns are too
dainty as well as too elaborate for general
use, and are only suitable to be worn in
afternoon and evening. The smart cos
tune shown in our illustration, taken
from Harper's Bazaar, is made OF mousse
line de sole embroidered with chenille
polka dot. The skirt in bell shape is
trimmed with scant rutiles of the material,
with satin ruche at either edge; these
ruffies are close together at the waist, but
broaden out at the foot of the skirt, and
go entirely around it at the back; across
the front breadth there are three rows of
the ruching.

FACTS ABOUT HEALTH

Il is Easy to Keep Well " We Know
How Some Of tho Conditions Neces-
sary to Perfect Health.
The Importance Of maintaining good
health Is easily understood, and 1t is
really a simple matter II we take cor
rect view OF the conditions required.
In perfect health the stomach promptly
dieests food. The blood Is employed to
carry nourishment to the organs, nerves,
muscles and tissues which need it,
The first great essential for good health,
therefore, is pure, rich blood. No medi-
cine has such record Of cures as Hoods
sarsapariIla and it is because 1t is the ono
true blood purifier. Hundreds of peopla
are alive and we'll today who would have
been in their graves had they not taken
Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1t is depended upon
as a family medicine by thousands.

IN E MEANEsT MAN.

The meanest man is not the one
Who fails to pay his debts,
Nor he that loafs, the while his wife
Digs. patches. scrubs aud frets;
The meanest Of them all is not
The one who beats his way,
And wants some other to provide
His grub from day to day.
The very meanest man of all
Is not the miser who,
With money sewn up in his clothes,
Bites moldy crusts in two,
Nor yet the greedy millionaire,
Who steadily proceeds
To grind his weary servants down,
Ignoring all their needs.
The meanest man on earth is he
Who, having failed to go
And risk his life in fever camps
And struggles with the foe, e
Sneers at the deeds the noble men
Who went away have done
Who sits here trying to besmirch
The glory they have won.

CROWNED usURPERs.
Nearly Every European Monarch Said
tn Have n False Title.

10 nave IL AlSC 1AtISs
The White Rose league of England
makes the startling allegation that
nearly every throne in Europe is occu-
pied by usurper; that S5 per cent. Of
the English nobility bear spurious
titles, and, above all, that the rightful
queen of England is not the gracious
lady who has ruled so well for 60. years,
but Queen Mary ". now living in OBJ
security as princess of Bavaria.
The true queen of England is thus de-
scribed by the league: MARY lV. of
England, Ireland and Wales and III. of
Scotland, born July 2, 1S49; succeeded
November 20, 1875; heir apparent, her
son Robert, prince Of Wales, born May
is, 1860; name of usurping ruler, Vic
toria, princess of Hanover
Queen Mary ", it tapepars, traces her
descent from the daughter of Charles
l., while Queen Victoria is descended
from daughter of James l.. and is thus
not in the direct line of succession. By
astrange oversight, which is fatal to the
leagues argument, no men tion is made

different complexion on matters.
1t is interesting to note that among
other usurpers OF thrones is Abdul
Hanlid III. of Turkey. The Turkish
throne, according to theleague, has been
vacant since 1853" The crowns of
France and Spain belong equally to the
notorious Spanish pretender. Don Car
los, who is rightly Charles VII. OF Spain
and Charles XI. of France.
The league also frames serious in
,dictment against Britain's boasted peer
age. Out of 514 English peers 72 only
are entitled to sit in the house of lords;
aud of these the dukes of Manchester,
Newcastle, Devonshire aud Marl-
borough, together with the present
premier, are only entitled to rank as
