CONCERNING DRESS.
Some Late Fnncies That Have BE-
come Popular with FolIOw-
ers of the Fashions

Extra wide tuile wells have dots over
the half of the veil which goes over the
face, the other half of the veil being of
extra width, plain and covers the hat as
matter of protection.
Bright pink, blue, red and white ties,
each solid color, are selling for so cents
a dozen, and the women who look at
them say they are ''sweet." With the
bright colors that are worn this year,
they can be worn with all pink, blue, red
or white suits with good effect.
Pretty and satisfactory corset covers,
In that they take up very little room and
fit snugly, are of undervest material,
the finer ones of silk, cut with square
neck or pointed back and front. The
whole upper part of the pointed ones
Is of open work in the material, with in
sertions of lace gathered on top of the
shoulder and tied with little ribbons.
In some of the corset covers the bust is
composed entirely of point de esprit.
charming effect in color is produced
on white tea gown or negligee, which
is trimmed with black lace, by putting
n bit of colored silk under the center of
the flower in the pattern. One of these
pretty garments has fichu effect, the
tichu having long ends hanging straight
halfway to the hem of the skirt. Around
the edge of this and at the head, on the
edge of the rutfle, on the two ends of the
ruffie, in the neck and sleeves is APP
pliqued black lace of a marked pattern.
Under the centers of the flowers of this
lace, which are about as large as quar-
ter of a dollar, is put a little piece of rose
and it gives a little touch of color t6t the
gown that makes it becoming, and
which has to be seen to be appreciated.
1t Is hint which can be carried out in
many ways. The original is, of course,

MUCH DISEASE PREvENTABLE.
One Quarter of the Deaths That Oc-
cur Can Be Avoided with
Care.

In connection with the Sanitary in
Btitute a popular lecture was delivered
by DIR. Alexander Hill, master of Down
ing college and vice chancellor of Cam
bridge university, on Unnatural
Death" He remarked that it was not
the dangers of railway travelling nor
the few murders that occurred which
brought down the average longevity of
human life from 100 years to so years.
They must seek for more subtle mur-
derers than that. Every year 100000
babies were born in England and Wales.
If they took 100000 children and saw
what was likely to be the end of them
they would find that 10000 died vio-
lent death by accident, about the same
number would succumb to the mystic
rious diseases which they knew now
to be absolutely preventable, because
due to germs tuberculosis in it's many
forms), about 100000 would die from
absolutely preventable causes, such as
smallpox, measles and scarlet fever,
only $4,000 would be allowed to live out
their natural lives and nearly one in
20 might expect to die because the ma
chine was worn out.
One-quarter of all the diseases which
destroyed life were absolutely prevent
able. If the practice of hygiene were
only on level with its theory the
average longevity would be raised at
once from so to 65. The greater num-
ber of diseases over which the individ-
ual had control were due to mistakes
in eating and drinking. He divided
diseases into three classes and said they
would never succeed in preventing them
until they had the cooperation of the
public. Every citizen should have the
same exact knowledge of the causes and
properties of preventable diseases that
the medical officer himself had. The
infectious nature of consumption was
hardly realized 90 years ago. About
one-third Of the cows in the country
were tuberculous and half the milk dis
tributed the bacillus of tuberculosis.
They could boil the milk and he was
no more afraid of boiled milk bacillus
than he was of well-cooked loin. The
only natural form of death was the
gentle falling asleep when the body was
tired.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

He was trying to assuage her fear

WHEN 4. WAS A BOY.


Twas a wonderful thing, the river knew
When I was barefooted boy;
And the swimming-hold. near where the
water-flags grew,
With its sandbar was ever bountiful Joy
When I was boy
But q boy.
Twas wonderful thing. day after day
I've sat by its waters and dreamed,
And watched it flow past in an endless way.
Dancing from nowhere, to nowhere 1t
cleaned,
When was boy
But boy.
To nowhere 1t cleaned. yet the castles
built
In that nowhere for beauty were famed;
And knights In bright arInor had many
tilt
With Robin Hood robbers and robbers un-
When was boy
But boy.
And down where the alders grow by the
deep place,
And the water spread out like lake.
There were imps, and I've seen them look
up in my face,
Then wiggle and dance. and squirm like
O snake,
When was a boy
But boy.
And when sister came, a wee little tot.
All bald, like sawdust child,
Ard asked where they got her, pa said he
thought
I'd find her tracks down by the river. and
smiled,
When was boy
But boy.
So the little ore grew, till one summer day
A cloud came over the stream.
And she passed out In the misty way
That she came, like a silent and beautiful
When I was boy
But boy.
But days have sped since then and the
years
Beautiful dreams that have vanished in
tears,
So like those old times that often it seems
I'm still but boy
But a boy.
For somehow there's left where the dreams
disappear
A ghost of a dream in their place,
That beckons me on with a voice Of good
And smile on its ghcst of face.
Which says you're boy
But boy.
So I look down the years to the river and
It dancing the same Of old;
And follow it up from the boundless sea
Through the misty years to the years Of
When I was boy
But a boy.

WHAT WASPS FEED UPON.
Wonderful Manner. in Which the
Mother Provides Food for
Its Young.

The wasp Is not q vegetarian like the
bee, and our cement-maker has before
her the problem of supporting her
young with meat rather than with
bread. AS her eggs are laid out in hot
weather and as enough food must be
stored in the cell with the egg to ma
ture the young insect, the question is
how to preserve the meat fresh for so
long a time. She meets the difficulty
thus: After tube is finished except
one end, which is left open, she flies off
on hunt for spiders. She finds fat,
healthy one, pounces upon it, stings it
and carries off and places it in the mud
cell. She repeats this process until she
has placed as many spiders in the tube
as, according to her judgment, will be
needed. She then lays an egg in the
cell and walls up the opening.
The remarkable thing about this
performance is the magic effect of her
sting. Whether it is the result of n
subtle poison or whether it is a special
spot in the spiders nervous system
where the sting is inserted we do not
know. Certain it is that after being
thus stung the spider lives on in para
lyzed condition for weeks and even
months. 1t can move only slightly and
remains helpless in its mud sepulcher
until the wasp egg matches into a
voracious grub, which at once falls to
and eats with great relish the meat
thus miraculously preserved.
Whether the wasp sting renders the
spider insensible to pain or not is
question not yet settled. However, the
chances are in favor of the theory that
it does. Anyway, we need waste no
sympathy on the spider, the most blood
thirsty of all the little people of the
fields and woods. There is sense Of
retributive justice in the thought of
spider helpless and at the mercy Of
small insect which it would have merci-
lessly devoured had it been able.
So we need not accuse our alert, in
dustrious cement-maker of any unrea-
sonable cruelty if she. like US, insists
upon a meat diet for her young, nor
need we have any fear of her sting, for
she seldom uses 1t as a weapon of Of
fense or defenses.-Chautauq

The Kidney Complexion.

The pale, sallow, snnken-cheeked, dis
tressed- looking people you so often meet are
afflicted with Kidney Complexion"
Their kidneys are turning TO a parsnip
color. So is their complexion.
They may also have indigestion, or suffer
from sleeplessness, rheumatism, neuralgia,
brain trouble, nervous exhaustion and some
times the heart acts badly.
The cause is weak, unhealthy kidneys.
Usually the sufferer from kidney disease
does not find out what the trouble is until it
is almost too late, because the first symptoms
are so like mild sickness that they do not
think they need medicine or a doctor until
they find themselves sick in bed.
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root will build up
and strengthen their weak and diseased
kidneys, purify their diseased, kidney
poisoned blood, clear their complexion and
soon they will enjey better health.
You can get the regular sizes at the drug
store, at fifty cents and one dollar, or you
may first prove for yourself the wonderful
virtues of this great discovery, mp-Root,
by sending your address to Dr. Kilmer & Co..

THE STRIKES IN BUFFALO.
Grain Shovclers Now Out I'm sympathy
with Other strikers.


Buffalo, May 17.-There was no
change in the situation along the docks
yesterday. The elevators, crippled by
the sympathetic strike of the monthly
men, did little work But three ele-
vators, the City, Erie and Northern.
were operated. Contractor Conners,
however, says men to run the ele-
vators can be secured.
Complications in the strike situa-
tlon render it impossible to forecast a
settlement at an early date. The grain
shovelers, under their agreement to
remain out until the demands of the
freight handlers, coal beavers and ore
handlers are met, are unable to accept
the latest concessions made by Con-
tractor Corners. Yesterday Mr.. Con-
pers agreed that all men now working
for him who were members of the old
grain shovelers' union must affiliate
with the new union, that the officers of
the new union would be permitted to
retain their offices, and that he would
give work only to such men as might
be sent to him by Mr.. Donovan, the
new inspector. appointed by Bishop
Quigley.
Bishop Quigly said last night that
this agreement removed the last OBJ
stacle in the way of a satisfactory set
tlement, and that so soon as the other
strikes were settled the grain shovel
CrS would return to work.

Those Christian Scientists.

Not much is to be expected, says
the New York Times, from the efforts
now making to bring to richly de-
served punishment the christian
Scientistsn who recently allowed a
woman to perish miserably there
from a disease which medical science,
il it cannot always cure, can certainly
alleviate. AS the law stands, or,
rather, as the law is interpreted and
applied by Judges and jurymen, the
phrases religious liberty and free
dom of opinion almost invariably
form an adequate defense, in cases
like this one-a defense, not of liberty
or religion, but of ignorance and
fanaticism in all their gradations and
combinations.
In the present instance the relatives
of the dead woman will say with a
sort of truth that they meant well, 4"
and as weakness of mind is a misfor-
tune rather than a crime, or even a
misdemeanor, they are practically
sure to escape all legal penalties for
their homicidal neglect. The position
of the active instrument of squalid
delusion is somewhat different and
not quite so safe.
No reasonable being can question
the fact that the "healern was en-
gagged in unlawful practice as a ply
sician. She will deny the administra-
tion Of any medicine, however, and
as the impression that such admins
tration is the whole, or at least the
only important part, Of a DOCTORS
work still fingers in the majority Of
minds, she, too will in all probability
receive what the Eddyites call a win
dication." Still il is eminently wise
to begin court proceedings against
everybody involved in the miserable
and humiliating episode.
1.-The ''healer'sn utter failure in a
paratiyely easy case and with all
the circumstances exactly as she
would desire, will be widely adver-
tised and discussed. This will educate
that portion of the public among
whom the "Christian Scientists' find
their most facile and profitable dupes.
