have made up, for it not only cleauses

one ounce of area nuts (raw) pound

to form syndiCates to work them. This
shows that the empress dowaEcr has

fight Western nations with their own

they may be, are, of course, predoom-

MARIE coRELLI ON SUICIDE.

Miss Marie Corelli has sent her
views on suicide TO the Kingston De-

quoted in the London. Mail: II may
state at once that l do not consider
suicide tustifable under any circum-
stances whichever. 1t is quite true that
God has given us free will in the mat
ter Of ending our lives IL we wish. but
at the same time we must not forget
that free will was not ours when we
came into the world. There can be no
doubt that We are brought into II for
some purpose known only to the Crea-
tor, and II is but a towards act TO
shrink-nay shirk-the work he has
given us to do. The most difficult
course is the most heroic To die is
easy; it is but the matter OF few
minutes; but to live n life of hardship.
toll privation and sorrow. and to live
II well, is the work OF a hero. Does
not our frail human nature exult and
glow when we hear of some grand act
OF self-sbnegation or extreme bravery.
or when we read of the splendid acts
OF bravery and heroism that men have
performed ever since the world be
gan? Therefore, arguing n la Socra-
ties, the most difficult is the best TO do
and the bravest. No; this gift OF free
will is a very sacred one. And who
knows but that there are invisible
spectators OF our acts watching "a
to whether we use IL TO the best OF our
ability. as soon as we become conscious
OF the gift? II we use that free will
to consummate an act of cowardice-
suicide-we Immediately state plainly
that we care nothing for the precious
gift OF God which He gave us in the
beginning. and what the result OF that
contempt may be we can not possibly
imagine, save that cowardice is in
stinctively despised by both earth and
heaven"

Drap decuir is one name for the
new dull-finished cloth which is com

A soft stock collar is much pre-

An idea is the short coat bodice and

white and make it with narrow

are being woven to hang from the
