conditions of wasting away, will send

manently by its timely use, and he con-
siders it simple professional duty to

his infallible cure.
Science daily develops new wonders,
and this great chemist, patiently expert
menting for years, has produced re-
suits as beneficial to humanity as can
be claimed by any modern genius. His
assertion that lung troubles and con-
sumption are durable in any climate is
proven by heartfelt letters of graft
tude," filed in his American and Euro
pean laboratories in thousands from
those cured in all parts of the world.
Medical experts concede that bron-
chial, chest and lung troubles lead to
Consumption, which, interrupted means
speedy and certain death.

Secret of "Doing Up" Collars

Few, indeed, are the house laun-
dresses who are willing to do up
collars; and yet there are many men
aud women who would prefer to have
the home rather than the laundry fin
ish.
The directions for polishing or glaz-
ing linen, as given in the laundry class
es, are very explicit, however, and
practice by the amateur undoubtedly
would soon make perfect After the
linen (shirt bosom or collar) has been
carefully starched, have ready at hand
a basin of cold water, a clean, covered
ironing board: piece of clean, soft
rag. and well-he&ted polishing iron.
Take one collar at time, place fiat
on the board, dip the clean rag in cold
water, and then lightly wipe the sur
face of the collar. On no account make
it too wet, or it will blister, and be
careful that no drops Of water fall
on it.
Hold the collar ii position with the
left hand, and run the polishing iron
up and down it with the right. At first
the linen will have a streaky appear
apce; but the smoothing must be con-
tinued until the surface is CLOSED all
over.

Leaves as Good as Fruit.

A French druggist, named Jasque-
min, has conceived the idea that the
flavor of fruits of shrubs and trees
generally is generated in the flowers
of these plants, and passes from them
into the fruits. The fragrance which
the leaves of the black currant bush
give off, especially after little rub
bling, and which Is so very similar to
the taste of the berry, has led this man
to adopt this opinion. He goes further,
and says that the pleasant taste of the
apple, pear or grape is prepared in the
leaves of the respective plants, al
though he admits that it is hardly no.
ticeable with these and by far not in the
same degree as with the black currant.
Jasquemin places apple leaves in wa
ter containing from fifteen per cent OF
sugar; then he adds yeast. During the
process of fermentation there Is an
odor of apples and when the fermenta-
ton is finished and the yeast has set
tied, straw yellow liquid is obtained
which possesses the fine bouquet of
the fruit of the respective trees from
which the leaves were obtained. With
vine leaves the results are still more
prolific. A beverage tasting and smell
ing strongly of wine is obtained, and
finally brandy may be distilled from it
which is equal to the best cognac.

Latest KINKS in Dress Garnlture.

The very newest trimming, and the
one that will lead another season, is
the narrow fringe which carries our
mothers back to the days when our
grandmother's best gown had rows of
fringe as the fashionable trimming.
The truly fashionable woman this sea-
son looks, indeed, a veritable princess,
decked out in real and imitation jew
els for which fashion has found so
many uses, They sparkle at ev-
cry movement, from the crown
of her head to the toe of her
pointed slipper, and appear at the
most unlocked for places in her gar
ments. 1t is, indeed, pre-eminently a
season of jewelled effects in fashion
able costumes. Light-colored velvet
gowns are trimmed with fine cut-steel
or silver passementerie, ribbons, chif-
fon, gimrs, jeweled nets and laces,
with the edition of bright flowers on
the low-cut bodice. Panels of lace and
beaded effects are also seen on the
skirts of both black AID colored velvet
gowns.

Lorgnettes are made with much larg-
er glasses than formerly and fitted as
carefully to the eyes with reference to
the distance at which one wishes to use
them as are the eyeglasses and specta-
cles. They cannot be fitted with any
glass which will bring the stage of the
theater any nearer to the eye, howev-
or, although many seem to think some
sort of glass can be procured which
will do this from certain distance.
But it is absolutely necessary to have
two glasses and focus them each time
they are used as in an opera glass
These glasses merely help near-sighted
or far-sighted peol lie.

There is something in the tone of the

dresses himself and follows the visitor

But the vender Of black diamonds
