An Epitnph.

He's done with ills
He's lived his little day
And now that he Is dead and claims his
rest,
This legend carve above his pulseless
breast
sHe paid his bills
What wonderment there thrills
Through that mysterious bourne where
he Is now!
Where vague and shadowy shapes conjec-
ture how
Within this sorrow'd vale where wolf howl
shrills
And creditors pursue and cark'd care kills
He paid his bills!
What still peace fills
The deep cairnslumber of this senseless
clay
This heap of dust which only yesterday
A man-tolled hopeless in the grinding
mills
And paid his bills!

FASHION NOTES.


Whatever the eventual fate of the
street skirt that is pleated all around,
the fashion can hardly fail Of general
acceptance for house dresses of other
than the careless sorts. The pleating
gives a distinctly new look that is quite
free from the shock that so often at
tends on a radically new style. The
change is quite as great as in many q
new notion to which women have had
to become accustomed before they could
admire 1t. Yet in case of the pleated
skirt to see is to covet. In the white
cashmere that composed the gown
sketched here, the arrangement OF
pleating was especially pretty. Green
silk stitching appeared on both skirt

Bicycle dealers who have had trouble
In their transactions with minors will
be interested in case which has been
heard recently before the New York
State courts. A Syracuse girl bought a
wheel In June, paying part of the price,
and agreeing to pay the rest in install
ments. In September she returned the
wheel and demanded her money back,
saying she had been defrauded The
dealer took the wheel, but refused to
return the money, claiming that the
wheels use had caused its deterioration
In value to an amount exceeding the
sums paid. The trial court dismissed
the complaint made by the girl, the ap-
pellate division reversed the trial
courts decision, but the court of ap-
peals has sustained it.

1t is said to be a fact that a we'll
known Sheffield concern is manufac-
turing bullet shields. They are gener-
ally of the same construction as the
bullet-proof curasses produced a few
years ago, but are so much larger that
they will cover the body of the soldier
completely There are holes through
them for the use of the rifle, and the
weight of the whole appliance, seven
pounds, does not prevent the soldier
from carrying it before him when ac-
tually on the firing line. The idea of
the manufacturers is that the shield
may be used for defence as a substitute
for extemporaneous entertainments.
With it there will be no occasion for
placing men to work with the pick and
the shovel in order that an advanced
position may be maintained. Some
English papers have already urged
that some of the specimen shields be
tried in South Africa

Some 30 or more American sculptors
Of renown are at work upon the deco
ratlve groups which are to have a
place at this Exposition. These are
to be nearly all original productions
under the master direction of Karl
Bitter. 1t will be the most elaborate
use Of decorative sculpture ever under
taken at an Exposition, there being
more than 1876 groups. These will
adorn the fountains, bridges, entrances
to buildings and other salient points.
Besides the pools and fountains, with
in the several courts will be a grand
and stately canal which will surround
the entire group Of buildings. In the
southern reaches Of this canal are
artificial bodies Of water known rs the
Mirror Lakes, from which lagoons ex-
tend in several directions, thickly set
with aquatic plants Of rare species.
In addition to the sunken gardens
and other floral features of the courts
will be the horticultural exhibits in the
southern part Of the grounds. These
will consist of several acres of beds of
the finest productions Of the best nurs-
cries and greenhouses Of the western
world. The competition for supremacy
will be very keen and the lover of flow
ers will have a rare opportunity to
make a comparison of the merits of
the productions Of competing growers.

Facts
for Women

Any article, whatever its merit
must be made known to the public BY
means of advertising. Advertising,
however, though it can do much for .
thing, cannot do everything. 1t may
create sale for a time, but in order
to insure lasting demand the thing
advertised must have solid worth.
This is the case with Lydia Z. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. 1t has
solid worth.
Women everywhere have learned
this fact, and the result is that there
isa lasting ind absolutely unequaled
demand for it, 1t has the largest sale
of any remedy for female ills in the
world, and this has been the case for
years.
The reason for this is that Mrs.
Pinkham claims nothing that she is
not entitled to claim. She can do all
that she says she can do, and her
twenty years of experience make her
advice invaluable. llerexperience has
been not only long but worldwide,
and she has helped more women back
to health than any one else in the
world These facts should, and do,
have immense weight with all sensible
women, Remember these are not wild
statements but solid facts.
