IN THE REALM OF DRESS.
What Is Being Worn and the Attrac- tive Features of the season's
 Costumes.

Lattice braid is one of the spring novelties and lattice work effects are seen in narrow bands of taffeta and chenille, fringe to match usually ac- companying the chenille trimming.
 Soutache braid in dark tones and straps of gayly colored linen are used for the adornment of smart new gowns of etamine in subdued shades.
 Chantilly lace and soutache braid IS combined as trimming for gowns of canvas and similar material, reports the Booklyn Eagle.
 Van Dyke points figure prominently in all sorts of trimming, lace and passe- menterie leading The points are arr ranged up or down, according to the whim of the designer.
 Yak or Cluny is the variety of lace that the oracle decrees shall be used with wool fabrics. The lace will be the same tint as the found ation material.
 In the imported novelties laces show ing blending of blue and ecrue, red and ecru and black and white are the leaders in the colored group.
 Plain velvet covered buttons are de- tail on the spring cloth bodices and sleeves, and the single, double or triple shoulder cape, either stitched or fin ished with a row and twist of braid in the center, is an important feature.
 White is the correct thing for even- ing wear just now. White dresses made of tulle, lisse or mousseline de soie, with sparkling sequins, clusters of tiny flowers and outings of dainty hued chiffon-dresses which resemble the valentines of old days-are the favor tics at present.
 Sequins have not gone out of fash ion, but as worn now they have to be cleverly treated to give the appearance of softness. The effect is obtained in this way. The sequins, gold or sil- yer, or iridescent, sometimes varied with black, are laid over several layers of chiffon, and thus soften and sub- due the satin underneath
 A bolero of pale blue oriental em- broidery lent an effective touch of col or to a gown of black seen recently. Bands of gold bullion and turquoise brooches of various shapes and sizes fastened with pendants of turquoise matrix added extra touch of color, Jet and spangled fringe edges some of the new vcilings used for drapery purposes.
 The crochet button has been ingeni- ously utilized in carrying out the grape pattern SO much favored in garniture. One design in the faintest green and ecru shows the center of each medal lion in grape pattern formed of but tons and framed in heavy ecru loce The same effect is carried out in white and ecru.
 White. ivory, black, cream, butter and biscuit are the fashionable shades in galloons and all-overs.

DAILY VACCINATION.
wxeauent Application of Virus CureA Severe Gases of Smallpox
 i'm Sh0rt Tame.

Smallpox is by no means an inno- sent disease, though the ancient sta tds5ics of mortality have been long aimee done away with. Yet mortal lty of from 1S to IS per cent. is not rare, even in vaceinatsd persons. and various complications are often met with, says ths New York Medical Jour- nal. Hubert (1sDs) found that repeat d vaccination was useful in the treat ment of smallpox, but only in the prodromal stages of the disease. Motowschiko& went further than this. He found that repeated vaccination, performed daily fer number of days, had marked significance upon the course of smallpox, not only in tho prodromal stages, but also in the ber ginning of the tdiseaae. Since then various authors have written on the subject. In order to test the thera- peutic value of repeated vaccination sn smallpox, the author tried this mode of treatment in eight eases. The ma jcrity of these patients entered with . smaIpex rash fully developed-fve in the papular stage, cue in the puru- aent stage and two at the end of the prodromal period.
 The vaccinations were made twice daily, three scarihcations being made each time, and were performed in the two patients that entered during the prodromal period only after the rash had fully set i'm. The test was, there fore, directed solely to lind the value of repeated vaccinations in the. ad- vanced stages of smallpox, not in the early part of the disease. Of the eight patients, two had a mild form of the disease from the start, the others a severe form. In general the use of repeated vaccinations gave more er less favorable results. Tn the severe eases the improvement was ap- parently connected with the use of repeated vaccinations, yet it is difi- cult to say whether the cases would have taken just such a course if no vaccinations had been made. The author concludes that, in smallpox, repeated vaccinations should be used, she earlier the better, and that the largest usefulness could be expected From this treatment in the earlier stages of the disease. A larger mum Der of cases should. be observed te determine its value in the later stages.

NEW STORY OF MARK TWAIN.
How the FamOus Hum eris4 Had the Merry CaeAanm atAOn TarRed
 Upon Himself.

The following story about the author of "A Double-Barreled Detective Story" is told by the London Publish ers' Circular. One day, while Mark Twain was connected with publish ing house, he went into book store in New York. and, picking up volume, asked the price. He then suggested that as publisher he was entitled to So per cent. discount. To this the clerk assented. "As an author,' proceeded Mark, "It would appear that am again entitled to 50 per cent. dis count" Again the clerk bowed. "And as q personal friend of the proprie- tor" the humorist modestly contin- ued, AI presume you will allow me the usual c5 per cent. discount" Once more the salesman managed to pro- duce an impressive bow. Well, drawled the unblushing speaker, "un' der these conditions I think l may as we'll take the book. Whats the price?' The clerk calmly took up his pencil and began to figure industriously Then he announced the result with the greatest obsequiousness. As near as | can calculate" said he, i've owe you the book and about 35ls cents. Cal again

vice. England maintains but 2,O00 inn perial troops fn Canada. These are stationed off the fortress of Halifax, which is isconsidered an imperial station. To this force Canada adds well trained reserve of about 35,00o organized mili- tia, covering all branches. of the land military service. So far as the impe- rial navy is concerned Canada, is practi- cally without representation. The ships of both the North ntic and North Pacific stations touch at her ports from time to time, and at Esqui- malt, on Vancouver island, British Co., lumbia, a naval victualling station is 1Aaintained. Partly because of this lack of representation Canada proposes to organize naval reserve force of her own, which will be in no way connect ed with the Royal navy of England, as is the Newfoundland force.
 The commander of the Canadian Fisheries Protection Service, retired English naval officer, Capt. Spain, has visited Newfoundland recently to study the workings of the Naval Re serve there, so as to see what modifi- cations are necessary in the system to adapt it to Canada's needs. The New foundland force is eventually to be at least 600 strong; the Canadian is to be four times that strength. The two bodies are recruited from much the same class of men--the former from the famous cod-fshers of Newfound- land, and the latter from the fishermen of the maritime provinces.
 r The Canadian parliament met on March 12, and the legislation to create the force was then presented. The to- tai strength is fixed at about5 5,o0o men, but it will be some years, of course before this is reached. Toprovide the necessary staff for inaugurating the system, sufficient retired officers and instructors from the Royal navy will be engaged, and the headquarters of the force will be at Halifax, Nova Scotia. Drill-shedS will be built, ranges will be

PEACE FORT MoUNMENT.
Marks the Spot Rock Island Where Treaty Was Made with
 Sac and Fox Indians.

At the lower end of Rock Island, iR the Mississippi, was built, in 1916, q fort which was named after Gen. Armstrong, then secretary of war. The encroachmenss of the Indians, and the need for B rallying place for the white settlers on the banks of the Mississippi, made the fort neces- sity 1t was built of hewn logs, and was strong enough to resist any att tempt of the Indians to capture it. Happily, there never arose an occa- sion to use the fort for warlike pur- poses, and 1t became but trading post, says George H. Daniels Four Track News.
 There was signed here, in 1s31,. the treaty by which the Sac and Fox h. dians agreed to remove to the Iowa side of the river, and leave the vil- lage on the banks of Rock river, which they had occupied so long. The fort was 400 feet square, and having | access to water, and carrying large supply of food, was equipped for a long siege. There now remains nothing of it. Two cannon painting down the river have been the only things to mark the spot where it stood till two years ago, when the Daughters of the American Revolution erected a l monument there.

THE NEW TOMATO TREE.
Singular Specimen That Has Been Pr0pagated from the Vines
 Bears Fruit.

If one would be considered quite sane one should not discuss the tree tomato even yet. Otherwise one is likely to be reasoned with gently, and informed that tomatoes grow on vines instead of trees, says the Phil adelphia Record.
 All this to the contrary notwith- standing, there really is tree toma- to. Such tree is grown by Mrs. Shep- herd, at Ventura, Cal. She has grown it several years, and feels that it has great future as fruit for shipping. It comes into bearing along during the holidays, when fruits are scarce, and ships long distances per fectly. Some say it is practically hardy ill California. This tree, how ever, grows under glass.
 As to the fruit, there seems to be no understanding. Some call this rich, tomato-tinted production fruit; oth~ CTS tomato, which is equivalent to a vegetable. As to favors, it is said to be cross between the tomato and the plum, and is equally delicious as salad or dessert. Experts think the day is not far off when it will be extensively grown. One good speci- men, and about the easiest to get at here in the east, is the one in the Bronx botanical collection in New York. For some time past this tree has hung full of these rosy, plum shaped fruits, or vegetables, which hang singly or in clusters of two or three or four.

BUYING FOOD SUPPLIES.
The Housewife should Be Governed by the Demands of the Fanr-
 lily Health.

The amount of money expended upon the food supply of the house hold is a serious drain upon the fam- ily exchequer. Yet marketmen ire quently have cause to laugh in their sleeves at the sight of women making their purchases lightly, often with out even interTupting their engross- ing conversation with friends out on similar errand. Some of the women buy that which strikes their momen- tary fancy; others order directly from the cooks memorandum list. The goods are either obligingly charged. or they are paid for, sent home, and the marketing is over. It is all delightfully."- easy, of course, but it involves tremendous waste, says the New York Times.
 Generally speaking, the average man spends third of his income up- on the food to supply his family table. Of course, incomes vary in size, the cost of living is higher in some places than in others; large family requires more food than a small one, but on the whole, this es. timate is near enough to actual fact to pass unchallenged. The woman who has the handling of such a sum ought to make it her business to ex- tract from every dollars worth of foodstuff purchased it's fullest value in terms of nourishment. This is DOS sible only when she exercises the greatest care in buying and closes up every avenue of waste iy, ber bcusa hold.
 Careful buying presupposes care- fully prepared marketing list; this list, in turn, depends upon the meal schedule for the day. and the latter upon the season, the immediate needs of individuals, and the stock on hand It may take little time to arrange these details, but the result is a bill of fare that presents foods that are nutritious as we'll as palatable, and so nicely adjusted, one to the other that together they furnish the great est possible nutrition for the least possible cost.
 The test which proves the value of giving time and thought to the i'm. portant question of the family diet. does not lie. as most people think, in the general enjoyment of daintily served dishes. It lies rather in the condition of the family health. Is the doctor in frequent attendance? :? Does the family group show stamina [? | These are the real tests that enable | the thoughtful to discover whether they are securing the best results.

procured, and the system will be inaug- urated in the most workmanlike man ner. The first enrolment will prob ably take place next autumn, at the close of the, fishing season, when the young fishermen will have little to do for the winter.
 The Newfoundland Naval Reserve, upon which this Canadian force is fash toned, was formed in November, 1900. Anexperimental contingent of 50 young fishermen was recruited and taken for six months cruise in the West Indies in Fl. M. s. Charybdis. So satisfactory was their work that A earned promo tion as "qualified seamen" at the close of the cruise. The next autumn an other batch was taken, and did equally we'll, AZ being promoted. Last autumn 50 were enrolled, and these saw active service in Venezuela, where the Charyb- dis was the flagship of the allied fleet which brought Castro to terms. Mean while, the men of the previous years, and scores of others, are putting in their months drill (which the rules ordain each year) aboard H. M. s. Calypso, sent out last October by the British admiralty for the purpose, and intended to be kept permanently in Newfoundland waters.

Franksville, Wis, Oct. 12th.-Many
remarkable cures are being reported
from all over the country, but there
is one right here in Franksville which
is certainly worth publishing, and
which has not as yet been given to
the public.
Mrs. Louis Markison of this place
had been a sick woman for quite a
long time and could not find anything
to give her any help. She, suffered all
the painful symptoms of what is gen
orally known as female weakness
Every woman who reads her story
will understand these distressing con
ditions which combine to make the
lives of many women one long burden
of weakness and suffering.
Mrs. Marsison CHANGED one day to
hear of new remedy called Dodd's
Kidney Pills, that was said to be a
splendid medicine for women's weak.
ness. She determined to try some
and soon found herself getting bet

was cured. Speaking of her case
Mrs. Markison says:--

Indifference to Matrmony.

PariSians Horrltiec at American Girls
Indifference to Matrimony.
"How can married women be dis

This is the pointed question asked
by Hughes lie Roux, a well-known
French writer, who has been spending
some months in the United States.
The American girl has astounded and
shocked him. She wears such mag
nificent jewels, he declares, as are
only offered to a French woman on
her marriage. She gowns herself, too,
in the heavy yelvets and silks only
known to women of forty in France.
But in the third and last proof of the
absence of the "jeune file" element in
the American girl which Mr. lie Roux
cites is her Indifference to marriage.
Very often she believes in having a
good time, he says, and refuses to
consider the subject seriously at ALL
