NEW USE FOR CHENILLE.
Part in DressmakinE, Millinery
and Fancy work.

Chenille is now used upon all outer
garments from the hat or toque, fash
Toned all or partly from it, to the
evening slipper showing applications
or rosettes of its velvety threadings.
For the house, the carriage or the
street there are many varying designs
wherein chenille plays an important
part. A Redfern bridal robe shows
it in elaborate embroideres inter-
spersed with mother of pearl, seed
pearl and opalescent tubular glass
beads. The latest innovation, how
ever, is its combination with furs,
where the adaptation is particularly
suitable. In an ermine collarette the
frogs used in closing are very attrac-
tive. They are of handsomely pat
termed white chenille wrought in
large pear-shaped jet beads. Another
ermine stole shows rosette-like but
tons of black chenille with large half
pearls surrounded by rhinestones-
and so on, the variety is almost end
less, full, fluffy, looped fringe of
thick chenille forming the edge of a
chinchilla storm collar. This large
fringe also appears upon some of the
newest varieties of neck dressing.
VThe short boa may be of almost any
material, chiffon, mousseline de sole,
Liberty silk or satin, wired lace,
panne or coarse net, but the decora-
tion usually is in some form of che.
mile. Long stole ends of strands of
chenille thick as ones thumb fall
either to the floor or knee depth
and form an indescribably beautiful
finish for demi-toilet These come
in several shades, those of black, white
or pale gray being by far the pret
tiest, unless one also has n preference
for bright golden brown.
The popularity of chenille as an
accessory to dress will bring in it,
use in fancy work once more, espe
cially in cords for edgings of artist,
boxes, baskets and the like. or fol
strings to tie instead of ribbon. Che

Among the rest had complete nervous prostration from which I suffered for six years. In June, 1881, l commenced the use of Paine's Celery Com bound. After taking a few bottles found that the old complaints began to ease up which encouraged me to keep on with the compound. I soon got over all of those throubles that had chung to me for so long, and got out and was more like myself. Since then I have taken few bottles in the spring and fall as tonic, and some times a few bottles between as preven- tfVe.
 I am inclined to believe in the old adage that An ounce of prevention is worth mora than a pound of eure," so when there has been prevailing sickness in the community, suoh as grippe malaria, levers, etc, take tlie compound, and thus far have had none of these ailments, although they have been prevalent all around me. so that l have great faith in Paine's Celery Compound as A preventive. I have recommended the compound to very many of my friends, ana I have the satisfaction of knowing that II has done them very much good.

For recruiting the strength and spent en- ergies of men and women advanced in years, there can be no substitute for Paine's Celery Compound It Is the one preparation considered worthy the name of true nerve food and blood remedy by physicians throughout the country. It Is prescribed by them in every state in the Union to tone up the system regulate the nerves, and restore health and strength.
 Nothing in the past has ever approached it in power of building up weakened nerve tissues and giving strength to the tired body. In sewers cases of persistent head aches, dyspepsia, neuralgia, and sleepless- ness, due to nervous feebleness Paine's Celery Compound has record of rapid and lasting cures that embrace every city and town in the wide sweep of the United States.
 It's remarkable power over disease lies in its active replacing of worn-out parts by new, healthy ones, and it's healing and pur- flying action among the most minute tissues of the body.
 The heavy, alarming pain in the back and loins disappears the growing palsness, nervousness, and loss of flesh is stopped, and a bright, buoyant feeling gradually takes the place of that amending sense of tire and nervous depression.
 An improved appetite, sound digestion, uninterrupted sleep, and an energetic nerv- ous condition invariably follow tht use of Paine's Celery Compound.

WATER COMPANY IS
 EXTENDING SYSTEM Many Miles of Mains Are Being
 Laid in Suburbs
NEW PUMP WILL BE PUT IN
EnsIey Supply Will be Delivered .Ac- cording to Contract - WoodIawn Line Has Been Completed
 Some Other Improvements.

The Birmingham Water Works Company is making extensive improvements. It is extending its system of mains ard Is also adding to it's pumping facilities at the Ca- haba station.
 The line of mains to Ensley is being laid, work on that extension having begun a day or two ago. The company is under contract to begin supplying the city of Ensley with water by May l, 1901, and the officials claim that if they meet with no unexpected ob- stacles they will have water there before the time stipulated in the contract.
 The line to Ensley is being laid with 16- ipch mains, which will carry enough water to supply several times the population of Ensley and the Intervening territory The line runs out Eighth avenue and along the Owenton line, thence through Tuxedo Park and to Ensey. Owenton and Tuxedo Park will be sunpl.el: @,l.k .eter by the company.
 WoodaWn Contract.
 The Water Works Company has completed its line to Woodiawn and is ready to turn on the water In that progressive suburb. II is also putting in a line to East Birming ham and Kingston, which will be completed within a few weeks.
 The contract made between the Birming- ham Water Works Company and the City Council of Woodlawn some time ago speci- fled that the Water Works Company should be ready to supply Woodawn with water by March 1, 1901. The company completed it's hne of mains almost a month prior to the time agreed upon. No actual test of the pressure has been made but this probably will be done in few days.
 In addition to the extensions that the com pany is making in its system of mains and pipes, a third pump has been ordered and will be added to the Cahaba station. This pbmp Is now being built by the Worthington Pump Company and will be shipped early in the spring.
 Other Improvements.
 The little tunnel through Shades mountain will be arched in the spring. The larger of the two tunnels was arched four years ago, but this work on the smaller one was de- ferred until a later time.
 The pipe for the new lines of the Bir- mingham Water Works Company, most of which has already been delivered, was made at the Anniston and Bessemer plants of the United States Cast Iron Foundry Company. About fifteen carloads have been delivered for the Ensley line, and other deliveries are being made at the rate of six or seven cars a day.
