THE JAPANESE ROOM.

NO house is really artistic in it's fur
nishings, says an exchange, now that
Japanese art is in favor, unless it has
a Japanese room.
Some particularly handsome exam
pies of their art have been imported
recently. An artistic bronze jardi-
Mere, chased by hand, with grotesque
elephants head and tusks, is notable.
1t could be effectively used by one who
worked to arrange her dinner table
with flowers disposed singly in the true
japanese fashion.
A beautiful bowl is of Satsuma ware,
painted by the well-known artist Mel
Fan. 1t is in shades of dull blue, gold
and terra Gotta, while the interior is
decorated with thousands of small but
lerfles, OF which no two gre alike.
Some new examples of Cloisonne on
a silver background are shown in small
vases, of which the colors are partic-
ularly rich. A very handsome silver
bowl is decorated with chrysanthe-
NUNS in two shades of silver and en-
amel. A still larger one has a design

M ISS MAYME KEARNS, 1905 Dean
AVA street, Brooklyn, N. Y, writes:
"Peruna means health, and health
means happiness. To me Peruna means
both. Last summer / felt unusually
Frustrated from the heat. MY appetite
and sleep failed me and my strength
seemed to ooze out with the perspira-
ton, and had a weak, gone feeling.
Three bottles OF Peruna changed all
this. recuperated quickly and blessed
sleep and rest came to me. Peruna is
better than a seaside trip, better than
a vacation, In fact better than any
thing | know to build up the system"
Miss Mayme Kearns.
Peruna is Just as sure to bring an
appetite as the sun is to bring the day.
good healthy appetite and good di-
gestion of food generally corrects a
host of ailments. Loss of strength and
loss of sleep depends In a majority of
cases upon loss of nutrition. If the
appetite fails. sufficient food will not
be taken, If sufficient food is not taken
the system suffers from starvation.
This, will surely lead to a host of all
ments in time. Peruna by restoring the
appetite, cures the whole matter; by
freeing the mucous membranes and
stomach, as we'll as the digestive or
gans from every trace of catarrhal
congestion, Peruna corrects the whole

NEcKwEAR AND sAsHEs.

Broad collars of lace are not seen on
the smartest street gowns now, saws
the Paris letter in Everybody's Maya
zine, but are as much in evidence as
ever upon theater and dinner bIouses.
The coat without revers is the popular
thing for promenade toilette, and the
soft cravat, preferably in black, with
very long ends tipped with gold or sill
yer balls is a chic detail of the street
costume.
Floating echarpes or scarves appear
with the thin gowns and, when grace
fully worn, are delicious, artictic and
feminine accessory for summer after
noon or evening frocks. They are
made in mousseline chiffon, mule; but
the most expensive and coveted are of
fine needle point lace.
Neck ruches are as popular as ever,
but they have changed in form; and,
though picturesque, are hardly as be-
coming as when they stood up fu1sly
against the wearer's face and hair.
Now they are more like a pelerine,
made of chiffon, mousseHne or lace
pleated fiat, and broad enough to droop
over the shoulders. The front finish
with long floating scarves or cascades
that reach almost to the bottom of the
gown. Soft girdles in Marquise silk
are on many of the summer gowns.
Flowered saShes, too, are in evidence,
tied at the back with two stiff little
upright loops and long ends. The day
of the lace mitts has dawned triumph
antly once more, with the vogue of the
elbow sleeve, and the woman with
pretty hands and arms halls the fash
ion Joyfully, while the woman whose
hands and arms are not charming, con-
soles herself with the fact that mitts
afford splendid opportunity for the dis
play of handsome rings. The mitts
considered most desirable are of chan
tilly lace; and, when white, often have
inset designs of black chantilly.

hut No Serious Damage Done,

hut No Serious Damage Done.
Valdosta, Ca. Aug. "a terrific
thunder storm visited this city last
night lightning striking two houses
in the city. but doing no very serious
damage to either of them. The first
house struck was that of Mr.. Walter
Peoples. on Jackson street The light
ming struck a large tree in the yard
and ran along the wires into the house,
tearing off the plastering, wainscoting,
etc, and shocking the inmates of the
house. Mr.. and Mrs. c. c. Varnedoe
and Mrs. Peoples and her children were
in one of the rooms and were all shock
ed by the bolt. Mr.. Varnedoe was
smoking at the time and the cigar was
knocked from his mouth. The bolt
went into the ground within a few feet
of where they were sitting.
During the same storm a bolt of
lighting struck the boarding house of
Mrs, l. L. Griffin. on Hull avenue. The
full force of the bolt struck the bed bf
Mr.. George Sloat's room, tearing 1t to
pieces. The pillow slips and sheets
were torn as if by hand, but not a
particle of scorch was found upon any
of the cotton clothing. Mrs. Everett
who was on the first floor of the house,
was shocked by the bolt.

Five or Six to BE Tried at the Term
at NOultrIe.


Moultrie, Ga, Aug. 6.-Sheriff Collier
returned yesterday from Florida and
brought back a negro who is wanted
here for murder. This makes five or six
murder cases to be tried at our APP
preaching term of the Superior Court.
In view of the heavy criminal docket,
it is entirely probable that our Super
Tor Court judge will not hear any civil
cases at the approaching term of the
court.
The new court house will be COM
pleted this week. 1t will cost about
$4,000 and will be the best building In
the state for the price. City Court will
convene here next Monday, but for the
first two days no civil business will be
taken up. Monday and Tuesday will be
devoted exclusively to criminal bust
ness.
Quite a number of the people from
Middle and North Georgia are pros
pecting in this county. A great many
farmers are moving in here being at
tracted by the cheap fertile land.
