The question has been asked, "In what
way are Chamberlains Stomach q Liver
Tablets superior to pills?" Our answer is:
They are easier and more pleasant to take,
more mild and gentle in effect and more
reliable as they can always be depended
upon. Then they cleanse and invigorate
the stomach and leave the bowels in a
natural condition, while pills are more
harsh in effect and their use is often
followed by constipation. For sale by JnO.

Some New Additions to the List OF
Finery for Late Winter and
Spring Costumes.

Natural linen-cOlored batistes are
numerous among the new thin fab
RIGS and are made up very stylishiy
with a bodice of lace of the same
color and a trimming of white silk
braid with fringed edge.
The old-fashioned pull-back is com
ing in and many skirts are glove
fitting almost to the knees, where
they fare out very full. Others are
tight almost to the hem and there
are finished with an embroidered
nainsoOk or batiste founce of white
or linen color Tucking, shocking
and shirring show on many, says the
Chicago Daily News.
Handsome silk and velvet waists
may be bought very reasonably just
at present and will be a good invest
mont for evening or theater wear.
White is the best choice. They are
handsomely trimmed with lace or ap-
piique work Of some kind, and many
are made with a delicate-colored vel
vet belt or collar. Several belts and
collars viii be a wise purchase.
Of embroidery we cannot get
enough. The expensive sets, consist
ng of vest fronts, cuffs and pocket
flaps, are exceedingly modish; so is
the crepe house dress which is en-
broidered all over, not to mention
the fancy blouse. If all these arc
beyond one, the very least one can
do is to embroider Il few French dots
on stock, caiTs or blouse front.
Deep Vandyke lace collars are
much worn on dresses and outdoor
cloaks this winter. Runles on the
waist are also much liked, since moth
ing displays an aristocratic hand or
tones down an ngly one to better
advantage. Tie fashion cannot be-
come too common, since the differ
ence between cheap and handsome
lace can always be told.
A new hair ornament consisting Of
n string of gold with pendant
which lies on the center Of the fore
head is calledt the felronierc, so
named from La Bclle Fcrrouiere, the
unknown woman in one Of leonardo
de- Vinci's most famous pictures.
Spring ribbons are very beautiful
or almost ugly. according to indirid-
ual taste. so many are the odd color
ings and weird designs. Nearly all
have soft. satiny finish and come
very wide. Persian and Dresden eff
fects are more pronounced than they |

The Democratic papers in Virginia are
now pretty generally advising that the
new Constitution be proclaimed. A short
while ago they were nearly all denouncing
any such proposition. What has caused
this change in sentiment? 1t may be that
they know the legality of the Constitution
will be tested in the Supreme Court of the
United States, and that it is not likely to
stand the test.

NOT A GREAT STRAIN.

Jacks father is a member of a So
ciety for "psychical research" and
Jack has heard and overheard a good
deal about mind reading and thought
transference. His mother has had
periods of alarm lest her sons mental
development should outrun his ply

Recently. however, the boy organ
lied mind class" of his own, the
members consisting of a number of
playmates whom he had induced to
join either by moral suasion or by
brides; and his mother, after overhear-
ing the problem which closed the ses-
sion, concluded that the strain on
Jacks mind was not so severe as she
had supposed.
Jack had left the reluctant class in
the hall while he repaired to the pam
try. In a few minutes his mother
heard his address to his pupils

STRAW AND CORN FODDER.

1t Is not many years ago that farm
ers in the Western States were burn
ing their straw stacks to get them out
OF the way. There was apparently no
market for it excepting at points where
the cost of transportation was likely
to exceed the price for which they
could sell 1t. Now at nearly every
market in the states the price of good
straw is as high as that of No. / hay,
and in some places 1t is higher. There
were some who would not burn it, but
put it in the wards for the farm ami
mails to pick what they wished to of
1t, and to trample the rest into ma
nure. After few years it was found
that the farms of these men increased
in fertility and productiveness, and
the practice of burning straw was
nearly discontinued, even before the
common use of the bailing press made
1t profitable to ship it to Eastern mar
kets. A change almost as great has
taken place in the opinion of the,v value
of corn fodder. 1t is but a very few
years since the corn growers of the
Western States cut no corn fodder,
but after picking off ears, let the cat
tie and hogs in to pick and break down
the fodder or what they would of it,
and then 1t was task in the spring to
break down the rest so that it could
be plowed under. Now it is nearly all
being put through the shredder, and
made SO fine that any stock eats it,
and 1t is thought as valuable as the
average Western hay.

From a gruesome, grumblesome boyle

And raised a breeze with Chinese

To sail for the southern sea. /.

He breathed a song to be in style,

Where polar bears and icebergs grow"

AN INTELLIGENT COLLIE.

A London gentleman, who had q
beautiful collie, provided him with a
collar on which the owners name and
address were engraved. On being ask
ed whether this had ever served to
bring the dog back to him, he told the
following interesting incident:
"On one occasion l lost Scott In
Piccadilly. You know how much ]
rush about in hanson cabs, and Scott
always goes with me,-we travel many
miles in week together in this way;
but on this occasion was walking and
missed him. Search was in vain The
crowd was great, traffic drowned the
sound of my whistle; and, after wait
ing awhile and looking elsewhere, !
returned to my suburban home with
out my companion, and sorrowful, yet
hoping that he might find his way
back.
I'm about two hours after my arrival
a hanson cab drove up to the door,
and out jumped Scott. The cabman
rang for his fare, and, thinking he
had somehow captured the runaway,
/ inquired how and where he had
found him. oh, SIR said cabby, L
didn't hail him at all. He hailed me.
l was a-standin' close by St. James
Church, a-looking out for a fare, when
in jumps the dog. Like his impu-
dence," saiy l. So l shouts through
the window; but he wouldn't stir. So
l gets down and tries to pull him out
and shows him my whip; but he sits
still and barks, as much as to say, Go
on, old man. AS l seizes him by the
collar l reads the name and address.
All right, my fine gentleman says
/, I'll drive you where you're a-want-
ed, dare say So shuts the door,
and my gentleman settles himself with
his head just looking out, and drives
on till I stops at this here gate, when
out jumps my passenger, a-clearing the
door, and walks in as calmly as
though he'd been regular fare l
gave my friend the cabman a liberal
fare, and congratulated Scott on his
intelligence-be it instinct or reason
or whatever 1t may be-that told him
that hanson cabs had often taken him
safely home, and therefore a hanson
cab would probably do so again, now
that he could not find his way and
had lost his master."-Boston Herald.

An Arab Marriage Procession.

A marriage procession among the
Arabs is very elaborate affair. The
camel which bears the bride is dec
Grated with bright henna dye on his
neck and shoulders. while there are
verses from the Koran inscribed on
the hangings. His uncouth legs are
often swathed with bright cloths, his
head bedecked with plumes and small
mirrors, while his back is respondent
with bright colored bits of tinsel.
which glisten against patchwork of
many-hued cloths. Il hood or cage
conceals the bride, and no doubt adds
to the discomfort of the cramped ride
on the beast. There are attendants,
and last of all the musicians, chiefly
drummers, who attract the crowds by
their incessant pounding on small but
high-keyed instruments.
II the journey to the groom's home
is a short one it is heightened by
stops at frequent intervals, and all
the while the lover must not show
any eagerness to welcome her, no mat
ter what his feelings may be. The
Arab may be affectionate, but he can
not with dignity betray emotion.
Among the lower classes buffoons
accompany the procession with per-
forming bears or other wild animals,
and when the bride is wealthy largess
is distributed along the route in the
form of clothes or coin. When the
groom's tent or fixed home has been
reached the bride is expected to show
great reluctance about entering it, and
in some cases she has to be lifted by
the husband over the blood of sheep
he has just slair.-Woman's Home
