Nearly everyone will admit that as a

For business men, office men and clerks.
and, in fact. everyone engaged in s~edentary
or indoor occupations. grains. milk and
vegetables are much more healthful.
only men engaged in a severe outdoor
manual labor can live on a heavy meat diet
and continue in health.
AS a geenral rule. meat once a day is
sufficient for all classes OF men, women
and children, and grains, fruits and vege-
tables should constitute the bulk Of food
eaten.
But many of the most nutritious foods
are dihicult of digestion and II is Of no
use to advise brain workers to eat largely
of grains and vegetables where the diges-
tion is too weak to assimilate them prop
erly.
Il is always best, to get the best results
from our food, that some simple and harm
less digestive should be taken after meals
TO assist the relaxed digestive organs and

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can hardly be
called a patent medicine, as they do moi
act on the bowels nor any particular organ
but only on the food eaten. They supply

Before K~ensingtons Were

OF the affairs that have been given OF
late from point Of enioyability and popu-
laritv. IL is safe to say that the afternoon
tea has taken precedence over everything
else. Certainly this is true II anything is
to be Judged from the frequency with
which they have, occurred Of late and the
general acceptance OF all invitations for
them. For several years the afternoons,
where cards or some other games have
not been employed as diversion, have been
in the form Of konsingtons, wholly in
formal. or else restricted by all the con-
yentionalitios that attend the formal re-
%ception. until society has wearied of all
this sort Of thing. and the hostess who
would entertain in the afternoon must de-
wise some sort OF novelty that Is not in
frequently expensive to her ingenuity and
her purse alike II she would insure any
thing like a satisfactory response TO her
invitations or pleasure to her guests. The
recent revival OF the tea. that wholly COM
Portable and strictly feminine institution
seems to have rescued the afternoon anair
from total disapproval and made possible
a combination gathering that is altogether
charming and immensely popular. A tea.
The very name sounds comfortable and
suggestive Of a cosy, chatty time that
might be admirably combined with the
smartest Of reception gowns and still be
charming. As a matter OF fact, the affairs
that have been so numerous OF late still
fall short Of the possibilities Of the tea
marty. and there are several women in So
cIety-who can afford to do unusual things
who have promised to develop these possi-
bilities this winter.

UMBRELLA HANDLES.
Thousands of Styles Kept In Stock
 Many Materials Used.

From the New York Sun
 Umbrella handles" said an umbrella 1 man. "are made nowadays in thousands of styles. and great numbers of new | styles are produced annually to keep stocks fresh, varied and up to date
 "They are made of very great variety of materials, of wood in many sorts. cheap and costly; of gold, silver. ivory. rubber, paper. celluloid. bone, horn, por- celain, and of many fine and beautiful mineral substances. such as agates. Handles are made also in these days of variously named compositions, in imita- tion of precious and semi-precious stones.
 There have been made umbrella han dles of papier mache in imitation of wood. and remarkably good limitations of buck horn handles are made of paper pulp, pressed in molds. such handles costing much less. of course. than those of gen. uine buckhorn.
 Any two or more of these various materials may be used in combination; such a handle in it's most simple form, for instance, being of wood with a silver mounting. You might have handle of onyx and gold: and so on indefinitely.
 "The stock of handles to be seen in any ldTBe would be found almost bewidering in its extent and variety, and 1t would be found also to contain great many ob- jects of beauty. The fact is that the sample stock of handles of big umbrel- la manufacturer makes really mar vicious display
 "Who invents all the new styles of handles annually produced? We'll there are some that, as you might say, invent themselves, that are suggested by some fad or fashion of the hour as in the case of the handles in the form of golf sticks. And then, of course, umbrella manufacturers are constantly designing new handles in the endeavor to produce good sellers, as one handle or another may distinctly be.
 Horn umbrella handles come chiefly from Austria, fine, fancy, ornamented handles come from France or Germany the finest of them from Paris; though most artistic and beautifully designed

He commenced the season with more than thirty en- agreements. 1t is expected that Uncle Reggie will be reserved for the Middle Park Plate. and he is also entered foe the Criterion stakes and for the Dew hurst Plate.
 A ridiculous paragraph has been going the rounds about the return of Lord Roseberry to the turf. The truth is that Lord Roseberry has never left the turf. He has always kept some horses in train Ing at Newmarket, and if his colors have not been seen out for some time it is only because his horses have been so dreadfully bad. When the sale of Lord Rosebery's stud took place in October, 1900, he retained Sailor Lad Tn the hope of winning at least one of the big stakes of last year with this horse, who, how ever proved a grievous failure. The wee ding of Epsom Lad was tragical blunder, and Lascaris was afterwards sold for about twelve times the price which he had realized at Newmarket
