Shirt Waists in Infinite Variety.

The only monotony of style IN SHIRT
waists has entirely disappeared, aud
there is simply no limit to the varia-
tions in design and decoration, says
the New York Sun. For outing pur-'
poses and strictly morning wear there
are the plain tabernacle waists OF
madras and cheviot, with French
back and box plat down the front,
but the dainty sheer lawns and soft
silks with their tucks and frills are so
much more attractive that the original
shirt waist is quite eclipsed by the
more feminine variety. All over en-
broideries are used for white waists,
and in small designs of dots and birds
| eyes, embroidery forms two-lnch
bands with narrow lace finishing the
edges, on a plain white lawn waist,
stripping it in three rows up and down
the back and front.
A silk bodice which has the effect OF
a bolero is tucked around in waved
Lines, and the lower part of it above
the belt is of diamond-tucked white
organdie, very fine and sheer. This
forms the lower sleeve, the. transpar.
emit chemisette and collar band anC
the revers edged around with fril
of lace.
Another model with yoke OF lac'
is piped around the neck with blacl
velvet, and cravat of the same silk il

chief items was some twenty-year-old
brandy that cost Mr.. Broadwater
fabulous price and regarding which he

latter was not commonly down on

The Best Prescription Is Groves
Tasteless Chill Tonic.
The Formula Is Plainly Printed on Every Bottle
So That the People May Know just
What They Are Taking.

1r,+ators do not advertise their formula
knowing that you would not buy their medi-
cine if you knew what it contained. Groves
contains Iron and Quinine put up in correct
nroportions and is in Tasteless form. The
Iron acts as tonic while the Quinine drives
the malaria out of the system. Any reliable
druggist will tell you that Groves is the
Original and that all other so-called "Taste-
less" chill tonics are limitations An analysis
of other chill tonics shows that Groves IS
superior to all others in every respect. You are
not experimenting when you take Grove's-its
superiority and excellence having long been
established. Groves is the only Chill Cure sold

Religious Eanaticism IN.

A dispatch from Apaldoorn. Hol-
land. gives particulars of terrible
tragedy arising out of religious fam
atheism. There exists in the neighbor-
hood a peculiar sect. and its members
decided to offer up a sacrifice to God,
preceded by service OF praise. In
which two young girls led the singing.
While the service was proceeding, one
of the congregation, peasant farmer,
seized his woman servant and killed
her, following this up by numbering
the two girls and his wife. The wor-
shippers made no attempt whatever to
interfere with the flendish work, and
even gazed calmly on while the MUIR
derer washed his hands in the blood OF
his victims. He has since been ar
rested by the police.

manner, hold their heads Ligh and
wear yellow shoes with all the dignity
of one to the manner born. Colonel
Williston, the Provost Marshal, hest
tated long time before he would per
NIT the natives to carry arms. But
at last Major Herman, who belongs to
the First Artillery by rights, and who
is Chief of Police by virtue of his APP
pointment and ability, persuaded the
Colonel to select small number OF
the natives to patrol the streets that
were not as prominent as the Escoita
or as public as the Luneta.
Kahki, in a different shade from
that worn by the soldier, was chosen
as the uniform. At first there was
question as to how they should carry
something to enforce the laws OF thu
highway and the city. So they were
given clubs. Now, club is effective
so long as it is within reach OF the
evil.doer, but as there was more or
less robbery going on among the ma
tives it became a necessity to arm the
police with something that would
shoot. That is how it came about
that the native police were armed with
revolvers as large as those carried by
the American soldiers.
Each policeman wears cap, and
that gives him military air. His
uniform is tailor made and fits him
perfectly. The trousers are long
enough to reach below the tops of
yellow shoes and sometimes are
stuffed inside the lacings. On the
breast is silver badge showing q
number and precinct. The officers
are designated much as they are in
the army, either by stripes on the
sleeves or straps on the shoulders.
They travel out of their stations in
twos, one walking along each side OF
the street.
One thing these uniformed men dc
is to keep the streets clean of all dirt
and refuse. A garbage wagon daily
comes along every street, the native
driver rings bell and the householder
is supposed to send servant out
with the days accumulation from the
kitchen and the stable. 1t is one Of
the duties of the police to see that
the caraboa cart is not kept waiting
too long at the door.
The men composing the force are
brave. They have been compelled Il
rush into houses where robbers were
at work. More than one has beer
carried away to the hospital badl!
wounded in the fights which have fol
lowed. Besides this they have thu
confidence of the natives and hav'
been able to inform the officials OF dan
gerous plots or the presence of insur
gent agents.
All this has resulted in the appoint
ment of more native policemen ant
the establishment of more stations
Colonel Williston is satisfied that tn
experiment has proved a success
Among other things it shows that tn
work of reconstruction will be mad
easy, for there is growing confidenc
in the ability of the native to admin
lister his own affairs.

NOSE in service are born and Dreo IN
captivity, and the young calves are
very easily trained for use. Stu
enough of the wild caraboas are caught
every year to keep the stock from de-
generating. They take to civilized life
much more readily than our American
bison, resembling in this respect the
true water buffalo Of India. The
strength of these animals Is marvel
GUS. In respect to size. strength and
ponderousness, they resemble the ele-
~phant more than any other creature.
