Her dherchief,

Another eXtravag ance is the Summer
handkerchief which will be a beautiful
little creation. The Summer girl is max
ing her handkerchief now for herself
With a piece of fine net. not over six
inches square she will fashion a hand
kerchief which will look like a $50 one.
She will cross the net with very tiny
cross stitch embroidery in white silk and
when she has gone over every little par
ticle of the net. she will sew around the
edge of il a nice border of Valenciennes
lace. This will give her a truly beauti-
full little handkerchief.
A few days ago friend of mine was
attending a handkerchief sale in little
French shop which makes a speciality of
mouchoirs. They were advertised for
) cents each II buy them by the dozen.

gowns. Her estimate was five handker-
chiefs for each dress.

Modem Naval Warfare.
PREPARING FOR AN ATTACK.

Certainly the Japanese, through their
late war, taught the nations of the world
that eternal vigilance is the price of
liberty" Had they permitted themselves
to shut their eyes to modern civilization
and the improvements in modern war
fare and modern military training. their
little island might have been overrun
by hordes of Chinese soldiery, bringing
their barbaric customs and laws. as well
as filth and disease. All peoples should
bear well In mind that IL is best to fol-
low the maxim. ''in peace prepare for
war; by keeping an army and navy i'm
activity-daily practice with firearms and
modern cannon-constant drills and mock
battles
What concerns our American people
more than any fear of Spain or of other
nations of the earth is the dread of in
YasiOn from infectious diseases. IL means
fight or die for all of us. Unless we
havs that health which means pure
blood for the system and an active liver

resist the attacks of the germs of con-
sumption, scrofuia. grip, malarial fevers
and many other diseases of germ origin
If there Is u scrofulous condition of

germs are sure to attack the weak points.

A TRAVELLING MAN.
Gives Some Valuable Hints Regard.
ing the Care of the Health
While Travelling,

Mr.. II. w. Wincherdon. commercial
traveller from Birmingham. whose BUSH
ness keeps him almost constantly on
the road. relates in the Sunday News the
dangers to health resulting from con-
slant change of residence. and the way
he overcame the usual injurious effects
lie says: One thing people travelling
cannot very well avoid is the constant
change i'm water and food: the stomach
never has an opportunity TO become ac-
customed to anything and i'm a few years
or much sooner the average travelling
man becomes a hopeless dyspeptic.
For several years | suffered more or
less from Indigestion sour stomach head
aches, distaste for food, often no appe-
tite. gas on the stomach and the usual
unpleasant effects Of imperfect diges-
ton.
Nearly every travelling man has his fa-
vorite remedy for different troubles and
tried all of them with Indifferent re-
suits. Finally on the train between
Pittsburg and Philadelphia one day. /
overheard a conversation between two
ladies one of whom had suffered severe
~ from indigestion. and stated she had
been completely cured by remedy
which she called Stuarts Dyspepsia Tab
lets: | remembered the conversation be-
cause il directly interested me: and aft
store and bought a package for fifty
cents. and from that day to this | have
never been without them. They are
pleasant tasting tablets. not secret
patent medicine, but composed of veg
etable essences. pure pepsin. fruit salts
and Golden Seal: being in tablet form
they never lose their good qualities like
a LIQUID medicine would. but are always
fresh and ready for use.
carry a box i'm my pocket contin-
ualy and whenever | see any symptoms
of indigestion ] take one. also one after
each meal. and for year and a half
] have not lost a day by reason of poor
health and can eat anything and relish
what | eat: my digestion is absolutely
perfect as far as | can Judge from my
feelings. and although there may be
other stomach medicines just as good as
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. 1 do not
know what they are. Certainly for peo-
pie who travel they are far ahead of any
liquid medicine, as they are so conve-
nient. they can be carried i'm the pocket
and used whenever needed.
] believe they are sold by all drug
gists at 30 cents. and believe anyone
VINO will try them will agree with me
that for indigestion and stomach trouble
Siuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are unequaled.

The USE OF HOMING PIGEONS.

1t seems almost like going back to
ante-telegraph and ante-telephOne
times to read of the efforts of the gov
eminent Is making to use hOming pig
cons for conveying information In
times of war. The experiments, how
ever, that have been made prove that
these birds can deliver message from
a point 200 miles out at sea to the shore
some five or six hours sooner than the
tieetest dispatch boat In the service
could bring 1t. These birds are to be
used on the swift picket boats that will
watch the coast, and on sighting hos
tile fleet details of its size and dircc-
ton will be sent to the shore by these
pigeons. For this purpose hundreds of
these birds are kept in cages on board
the vessels composing the Atlantic
picket fleet. Attached to each bird Is
a label showing the cote from which 1t
has been taken, SO that the officer can
select one for carrying the message
that is from the place ut which he
wishes 1t to be delivered. When hos
tile feet Is sighted message giving
necessary particulars will be attached
to a pigeon that will fly to the COM
mandant Of the naval station the Off
Ger desires to notify, or to several such

ways have made an unpatriotic and un-
wise move. Their act looks like an at.
tempt TO hold up the public in an
emergency. The rate Is double that
which these same roads have usually
been ready and anxious to give to
large organizations of q private char.
acter. They have made a rate of one
cent mile to the Omaha Exposition.
For several years they have given a
1.cent rate to the annual Grand Army
encampments and other large organiza-
tons. The regular troops thus far car
ried South have been taken at q rate of
less than 1.cent n mile. because the
roads were compelled to offer their low
est profitable figures through COMPETE
tive bids. That they should now turn
around and charge 2 cents a mile for
the much larger bodies Of militia Is In.
consistent unpatriotlc and extremely
unwise. The bills for the Transports
ton of these regiments must be paid by
the people of the several States, and the
arbitrary doubling of the sums Justly
payable for that service will be univcr-
sally regarded as an net of eXtOrtiOn.
The fact that the rate Is the same ms
that charged during the civil war only
serves to show up It's injustice in a
clearer light. We are not in an era OF
civil war prices. The cost of transpor.
tatlon has been reduced by ut least one.
half in the last thirty.five years. The
people all know this. and the inevitable
result will be IN adverse popular feel.

The legislation bought with Gas
Trust money is working harm in other
directions.
1t has allowed the formation of other
trusts.
Thanks to the Gas Trusts influence
with the Bride Takers Union, the Ice
Trust Is now In existence.
And in consequence. ice will be high.
err in Chicago this year than it is in
Havana.
The Ice trust has given notice to hos.
pitfalls. hotels, acknowledgements and other
large consumers that the price of Ice
Is to be raised 10 cents hundred
pounds this season. A combination of
saloon-kecpers is being formed to resist
ing and ice machines will be used ex-
tcnsively for refrigeratng purposes. al
though II may cost considerable money
to install them.
The Knickerbocker Ice Company has
secured control of all the natural ice
that will he delivered in the city this
summer. Everybody will have to pay
an increase for his ice. The price to
saloon-keepers last year was 10 cents a
hundred pounds and to consumers &C
cents a hundred. The notices given an
nouncc that saloon.keepers will have tC
pay 20 cents a hundred pounds. 1t Is
expected that private consumers will
not get off with less than so cents d
hundred, and the price may be raised
even beyond that.
The formation of the ice pool, II !.
said. Is for the purpose Of making III

legislation gave II its chance. Ther

the different companies at the price OF

will go out this year With the same
labels that they carried a year ago, bu

WORK OF THE BRiBE-TAKERS.

The Bride Takers Union, formerly
called the Legislature Of Illinois, has,
at the behest Of the Gas Trust, given
10 our people heritage Of woe.
IL was AT the request OF the Gas
Trust that the Bride Takers Union
passed a law AZ It's last session per-
hitting corporations to consolidate and
To form trusts.
Trusts were formerly forbidden by
law in this State, because they We're
contrary 10 public policy.
This law was very announcement
one 10 the gas companies, which were
anxious 10 combine so as TO squeeze the
people out Of big amounts at the least
expense 10 the Trust.
So the Gas Trust went to the Bride
Takers Union and the result Of its
conference with the Union was the in
famous law permitting the formation
OF Trusts and forblddlng for all time
any new gas companies TO start in bus

which can at once give the proper di.
rectiOns for meeting the approaching
enemy. SO much dependence has been
put upon this means of transmitting in
formation quickly that naval hOmng
pigeon service has been organized,
which has trained the government
birds to degree Of perfection as mes
sengers that Is little less than marvel
Gus, for they have shown rapldity Of
flight that Is more than twice the
speed of the swiftest torpedo or dis.
patch boat. In training the birds are
flown singly for distances varying
from ten to ninety miles ut n time, and
IL has been found that the best results
are obtained by using single birds, as
where several are started at time
they are apt to become confused. Tests
have been made for distance of 100
miles, which the birds have covered mt
the rate of from thlrty-slx to forty.
seven miles an hour. The ocean liners
carry pigeons to be used In giving no.
tlce of accident or mishap. In a recent
case the notice of rescue ut sea was
sent by one Of these birds. The pigeon
did not reach the land. as II lighted OF,
