TORTOISE SHE'LL ORNAMENTS.
These She'll Ornaments Are More
Popular Than Ever.

These She'll Ornaments Are More
Popular Than Ever.
AT the present time tortoise shell orna-
ments are very much en- evidence, and per-
haps the newest and smartest of all these
beautiful things is a small bouquet holder
that pins on the front of the gown. Ii is
devised to hold just enough water to keep
fresh few sprigs of lemon verbena, hello
trope, or bit of some other sweet smelling
plant. In shape the holder is similar TO
a small tube about three inches long. AZ
the lower end ii is tapering and closed.
The top is finished with a narrow band
of gold, and at the back there is pin
also of gold with a strong clasp BY its
means the holder is always held in an up
right position.
The same material is being much used
for the handles of parasols, and very beau
tful ones are TO be found in the fashion
able shops. The handsomest one that has
yet been seen was brought by New York
woman from Switzerland. where she had
it carved to order for her. 1t represents a
turkeys claw holding a ball. The bal re-
wolves as though on its axis; but il could
be readily seen that The whole thing had
been carved out of one piece of the most
exquisitely marked shell. The parasol that
it upheld was lined with white and cover
ed with rare bit of black lace Harss
and ducks heads are also made in tor
toise shell for parasol handles. or rather
for the handles of the small umbrella par
asols that are called by the French, en-
tout cas-, as they answer equally well for
rain or shine

the dimensions of the back combs al pres

those made of wired ribbons that of late
have been so popular. are also late nove.-

very thin and is quite transparent

The way to be well is TO pay attention
TO your kidneys.

purities in the blood-that is their work.

of taking a laxative or physic.

beduest ne thought, but he always had
great respect for his aunt. and as he val

The japanese government has recently
ordered four first class torpedo boats from
the Yarrows. and in one of them all tho
auxiliary machinery is to be driven by
electricity. This will not only result IN
economy of fuel, but it will add greatly
to the safety of such vessel, because,
as is we'll known by navy men, a wire
fractured by a shot is not only easily
meuded, but it only stops the machinery 20
which il is connected; whereas in the case
