A Sound Sleeper,

At the Francois theatre in Paris one
evening during the performance of a
play by Sonnet, spectator was OBJ
served to be slumbering. Look" said
Dumas to the author, who was sitting
near him, you see the effect produced
by your tragedy But the next even
ing at the same theatre it happened
that the play was one of Dumas own,
and it happened also that gentleman
i'll the stalls was overpowered by sleep.
Sonnet being present noticed this,
and. with infinite satisfaction, tapping
Dumas on the shoulder and pointing to
the offender, he said: please notice,
my dear Dumas, that your plays can
send people to sleep as well as mine.
mot at all" was the ready answer !,

Oueene and FashiOna.

Queens, of course, need not trouble
themselves about the latest mandate of
fashion, as whatever royalty wears is
the fashion; but few smart English
women would care to copy the EN-
press Of Germany in the matter of
dress. Her royal highness pays much
regard to what will stand wear and
tear, and has a comfortable indiffer-
ence to loneliness. The Empress of
Russia is perhaps the most splendldly
dressed woman in Europe; her furs
alone are said to be worth fabulous
sum of money. Our own Queen is
somewhat severe in her style of dress,
but what she wears entirely suits her
and always looks pretty. Queen Amelie
Of Portugal possesses distinct genius
for dressing prettily, and can make the
ugliest costume look charming by q
few tOuches.-London Taller.

Their names are familiar to all of us.
None of them have as yet killed them
selves. 1t Is extremely unlikely that
any Of them will. They are all fell
lows of high intelligence, quick wit,
and plenty Of open air physical devel-
opment. Thus equipped they can go
hurting around banked up track on
snorting automobile with as much
safety, and more, than our aforesaid
grandmother could feel on q city troll

cations which come with nervousness,
uncertainty, the rattles,' they are
free from.
To such as these the instruction of
the airship as a practicable machine
Folds out the pleasantest possibilities.
Let any OF the inventors now busy
with the problem convince our sports
men OF the very rich class that new
sensations, and new privileges, and
new ways of exercising the ever effer-
vescent love Of excitement can be had,
at only reasonable risk in the bas

not be allowed to impede the consum-

A Funny Jail.

Elizabethtown, the county seat ct
Essex, in the Adirondaclis, possesses
comedy jail. 1t is small, having
windows secured by wooden bars and
jailyard inclosed by q solid fence
of three-quarter-inch boards which a
healthy male could push over with his
shoulder. But the prisoners rarely, If
ever, attempt to escape.
Some good stories are told by
Judge Kellogg, Judge Hand and other
residents. 1t is a custom to allow
the prisoners out on parole, so that
they may cut the grass on neighbor-
ing lawns, do garden work, or repair
roads for the village or county. Re-
Gently one prisoner who should have
returned at 6 o'clock did not apply
for admission until nearly an hour
later The warden agrily demanded
to know the reason, and added:
Don't let this occur again or l will
not allow you to come in. | lock the
door at o'clock, and won't open 1t
in the future for YOU"

For Sleepless Women.

The woman who cannot sleep is nj
ways nervous subject. She should
religiously take enough physical exer.
else each day to induce healthful ia.
tigue. She should eat simple, easily
digested food. avoiding tea and coffee
later than her breakfast hour. Many
women declare that tea and coffee
have no effect upon their nerves.
know they are mistaken. Tea and
coffee are excellent eXcitants and enc
mics of sleep. The insomnia victim
may be lulled to rest by gentle mas
sage-the hypnotic stroke will often
act as a magical sleep inducer. Some
times rub with hair friction gloves
will induce sleep. A tepid bath taken
just before retiring has sedative eff
feet. But a hot bath is stimulating,
and should not be taken at night by
nervous subjects.-New York Times.

What Is Being Worn.

A great deal Of gray is worn, but
chiefly in very pale tints, and that sill
very shade with pinkish tone is quite
the most popular of all. Bright color.
ings are not much worn, and no doubt
the continued wearing of black and
white for so long period has induced
distaste for vivid colcrs. All the
blues, heliotropes and pinks are soft
and delicate, and the misty pastel tones
are much affected.
Black lace is good deal worn, even
on light colored gowns, and the tucked
taffeta costume worn by the smart ma.
tron is much inserted and adorned with
black lace set jour and worn over q
white or heliotrOpe slip.

Her piCfura Hat.

I never think that English women
pay enough attention to the side and
back views of their heads and hats.
Very often you can look charming
full face when the side view leaves
much to be desired. AS a rule, it is
disastrous for an English woman to
lengthen her face or to take away
shade from her eyes. The tiny toque
perched on the top of the head has
gone out of fashion, and mercifully
so, for this was very trying mode.
When French women wear neat hat
or tOquc they invariable shade their
eyes with it.-AIadame.

In cases where bronchitis has become
chronic from want of proper treatment in
the earlier stages, there is nothing so good
as DR.. August Koenig's Hamburg Breast
Tea, in conjunction with which is strongly
advised the use of st. Jacobs Oil as an out
ward application along the front of the
throat, from close up under the chin to
we'll down to the top of the chest; the one
remedy assists the other, and as intended,
they work in complete unison. The won
derful penetrating power of st. Jacobs OIL
enables it to reach the adhesion of foreign
matter which lines the bronchial tubes
and which makes breathing more and
more difficult. AS these adhesions become
inaamed and enlarged, st. Jacobs Oil
causes such cdhesions to break away,
making cxpectoration easier and more free.
DR.. August Koenig's Hamburg Breast Tea,
drank slowly and very hot, soothes and
heals the parts, is comforting and quieting,
stops the cough and relieves the breathing.
This manner of treatment land there is no
other two remedies that will work together
so successfully reaches the difficulty from
the outside and the inside at the same
time. St. Jacobs Oil reaches the roots of
the adhesion, and assists DR.. August Koe-
nig's Hamburg Breast Tea in clearing
them; then both remedies act in unison in
healing and curing. The above remarks
apply with equal force in cases of asthma,
Group, whooping cough, enlarged tonsis
and all bronchial affections. Every family
should have st. Jacobs Oil and DR.. August
Koenig's Hamburg Breast Tea always in
the house in order that they may be
promptly used in the first stages. Often
the malades develop with wonderful "a
pidity, and complications take place with
equal suddenness.
