BRIGHT'S DISEASE CURED.

Sullivan, ILL.,, March 31st.-Mrs. Kitty
f. Seaney was very i'll for months and
Notwithstanding the best possible med
ical attendance she got no better. The
doctors said she had Bright's Disease,
and gave her little or no hope of ever
being well again.
She suffered great pain in her back,
which nothing seemed able to relieve,
till at last encouraged by the reputa-
tion Dodd's Kidney Pills have attained
in the community as a cure for Kidney
Diseases she began to use them.
The result was surprise both to
Mrs. Seaney and the physicians, for
soon after the treatment was COM
menced her kidneys threw off large
quantities of dark diseased matter and
she improved rapidly. She used in all
ten boxes, and has completely recov-
cred good health without pain or symp-
toms of the Bright's Disease.

ELABORATION THE RULE.
KeEllEee Attire IL No Longer Char
ncterixed by the Simplicity
Of DyEOne Days.

Elaboration is increasing in negli-
gee ittire-indeed, it is almost essential
now to a satisfactory garment. Not
long ago everything but compare
lively simple boudoir gown was
graded as more or less extravagant
tinery, according to its degree of COM
plexity, but now it. is possible to
copy the costly ideas at comparative
ly small outlay, SO highly wrought
robes and Jackets are the rule. A
potent aid in much of this copying is
the beauty and abundance of cotton
fabrics made in imitation of silk. The
mercerizing processes have brought
many handsome s:uffs and practically
all the lighter ones have been made
available for house gowns, negligees
and the like, and while not a few of
these are worthy of really fine trim
mings, there is no end of inexpen-
sive garnitures that will set them off
nicely.
While garments composed in this
way may and do reflect the newest
styles. it is better to study fashions
in more costly materials. And that
is easy, for in the model gowns are
fine stuffs without end. In them
China silk, forlards and soft cloths
abound, especially for teagowns. AL
ternate bands of silk and lace inser-
tion compose many. Handsome
gowns of all-oycr white and beige en-
broidery are finished with rows of
tiny satin-ribbon ruffles. Empire
styles prcdominate. and nearly all are
made with short elbow sleeves, beau
tifully finished with lace ruff1es and
ribbon bows. Gowns of transparent
cloths are appliqued with lace, lace
medallions, appliqued here and there
on the body of the gown being fire.
quent finish. Black velvet ribbon often
is used as u finish. Figured lawns,
dimities and swisses are very pretty
and are as elaborately trimmed as
any.
White tea gowns are stylish and
are numerous in dainty lawns and
muslins. Valenciennes laces and inser-
tions trim many of these. Some are
maue' with Spanish fiounccs, tucked
or trimmed with lace; others have
plain gathered ruffles, headed with
embroidered beading, with delicate
colored ribbons run through. The
handsome teagown pictured here was
made with Spanish founce and was
white Persian lawn, white lace and
white satin ribbon. Often the tea
gown in empire style, more or less
distinct, has handsome garniture in
bolero effect. This feature is to be
found in the most expensive grade of
negligee dresses, point worth re-
membering, since it is finish that
can be reproduced cheaply with COM
plete success.-Chicago Daily News.

with the sharp point Of hot poker,

The hot point burns line of rich

Many drinking-bowls are painted in
the strong primary colors; vermillion
serves as the first background color,

siblc creature. She is so years of age
and weighs something like 5000
pounds. The baby is Master Evan
Healey, bright 15-months-old young
ster, who betrays not the least fear in
the "hands" of his strange nurse. The
methods adopted by the elephant when
it wishes to give its precious charge a
ride in its baby-carriage are certainly
unique. Sometimes it pushes the per-
ambulator along with its trunk with
its end on the ground, as seen in the H.
lustration; at others it will grasp the
handle with the tip of it's trunk, while
occasionally it will push the carriage
with one of its huge feet, guiding it at
the same time with it's trunk.

With aching hearts they put the little crib

The sacred nest where she had slept
Tney touched it tendcrly that woeful day,
And whispering spoke and softly stepped,
AS II in fear Of waking her who lay
Alone out in the cold; they signing

Their lips upon the little marks made by
The baby fingers lying on her breast.
They sadly took the little crib down from
Its place
And put 1t tenderiy aside;
doW often had the lost sweet little face
Been pressed against its radls! They cried
When looking at the empty little space
There where her baby songs were sung
and where
She had her happy baby dreams before
The angel came that day and kissed her
there.
The little crib that they so sadly put away
Last year is where it stood before;
They bend above it terderly to-day
A baby sleeps in it once more;
The grief that was so hard to carry they
Have lost in this new JOY that is their
