Dainty SaChetS for DAINTY Women

TAINTY sachets in great number and
- variety have made their appearance
among this seasons holiday gifts of
the more simple type. Indeed, the present
fancy for them amounts almost to a
craze. Handmade articles of almost any
description may nowadays be bought at
he stores, and this is a welcome fact
to her who has not the time or skill
or patience to make them. But girls
who have acquired considerable pro-
fciency with the needle, and even fair
amount with pencil or brush, may get
up these very same things; and it is
they who are always on the alert for
new and attractive ways to test their
skill
The Detroit Free Press describes the
new flower sachets as daintiness per-
sonified. But, simple as they are, neat
ness and precision are necessary for
good results. These perfumed tritles
make admirable Christmas souvenirs,
and when sent as such should be placed
in a. tiny box and tied with gold cord
or with baby ribbon. They may also

Two strips of ribbon six inches long

The design illustrated has the two up

OF lavender and one of white-each a

The larger rose sachet is used as a

in, and from it are brought a dozen or
more stamens of brown and yellow en-

Peruna is known from the Allan tic to
the Pacific. Letters of congratulation
and communication testifying to the
merits of Peruna as a catarrh remedy
are pouring in from every State in the
Union. DIR. Hartman is receiving hun
dreds OF such letters daily. All classes
write these letters, from the highest to
the lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti-
san, the clerk, the editor, thestatesman,
the preacher-all agree that Peruna is
the catarrh remedy of the age. The
stage and rostrum, recognizing catarrh
as their greatest enemy, are especially
enthusiastic in their praise and testi-
mony.
Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh. Ca
tarrh is well nigh universal; almost ON
nipresent. Peruna is the only absolute
safeguard known. A cold is the be-
ginning of catarrh. To prevent colds,
to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out of
it's victims. Peruna not only cures ca
tarrh, but preventsit. Every household
should be supplied with this great rem

FISHING UP OR DOWN STREAM,
perienced Anglers Who Whip
the Streams.

Fishing up stream has many advo-
Gates who assert that, astrout always lie
with their heads up-current, they are
less likely to see the fshe rman or the
CLINT of his rod when the casts are made:
the discomfort and fatigue accom-
panying wading against strong rapids
is amply repaid by the increased scores
secured; that the flies deftly thrown a
foot or two above the head of feeding
trout float more lifelike down the cur
rent than those drawn against it by the
line, when they are apt to exhibit a mus
cular power which in the live insect
would be exaggerated and unnatural,
says Outing.
On the other hand the down stream
fisherman is equally assertive as to the
value of his method. He feels the charm
OF gurgling waters around his limbs, a
down current that aids rather than re-
tards' or fatigues him in each successive
step of enjoyment in his pastime; as he
casts his 80 or more feet of line a-dOwn
the stream, he is assured that he is be-
yond the ken of the most keen sighted
and wary trout; that his artificial bugs,
under the tension of the current scanning
it from right to left, reach every square
inch OF the swim" as English rodsters
term likely water, and, coming natural
ly down stream, just the direction from
whence a hungry trout is awaiting it,
are much more likely to be taken than
those thrown against the current with,
doubtless, a foot or more of the leader
dropping and bagging before the nose
OF trout with dead bug, soaked and
bedraggled, following slowly behind.
Old anglers, when fishing a rapid stream,
have learned to adapt their methods to
the physical condition of the water.
They have adopted both methods, fish
ing up the pools and down the rapids.
thus avoiding the great fatigue in wad-
ing the latter and the chance of the trout
seeing them in the more quiet waters OF
the former. ss

ENEMY OF G1RLHOOD.
ton Of Sweet Seventeen and
Doctors Call 1t Anenlia..

Health controls the complexion
throughout the whole course OF exist
ence, but perhaps never more palpably
than about the age of II.
Anemia is the greatest enemy OF a
beautiful complexion that girlhood can
encounter. 1t results in pallOr, in
blemishes, such as spots and blackheads,
and in that general appearance of deli
cacy that should be complete stranger
to youth. Unfortunately just about the
age now under consideration girls are
SO busy over their books and so eager
to excel in their school examinations
that instead Of aiding and abetting their
elders to improve their anemic state,
and so to alter their muddy and unat-
tractive compilations, they do all they
can to further the inroads of weakness
by working indoors too much and stay
ing up too late at nights.
The anemic girl, whether she must
work at her books or not, must be
dosed with iron for months and months.
1t is the paucity of iron in her system
that makes her lack of color in her
cheeks. There are several well-known
preparations of iron that will suit the
sufferer, but it is always well, if possible,
to consult doctor as to the most eff
cacious one to be had in pills and in So
luton. Iron can be taken in pills
for the sake of the teeth, and in solu-
ton for the sake of the Digestion But
while one girl can take three pills day,
and in course of time even eight, nine
or ten, another cannot take more than
two in "a hours. That is why doctors
advice is so necessary.
The more open air the anemic girl
gets the more quickly she will overcome
her weakness. She must live on fresh
air just as much as on milk and fresh
meat, and every other kind of nourish-
ing food. Not only must she take ex-
ercise in the open air, but her Sleep
ing hours must be supplied with it.,
and her sitting-rooms always have an
open window in them. Rich food is not
good for the anemic patient; indeed, the
simpler the existence the better.-Cin-

KILLING CROWHEAD= DUCKS.
One Peculiarity Of the Birds That
-<t@E Makes Them Easy Prey to
- the Market Hunter :.~ss.. ~ :.

The last Of the game birds to arrive
Is the crow-headed duck. s' WI.
Every year when the first real snow
storm is on, up from the Atlantic, 800
miles away, comes the battalions OF
these curious birds. Properly speaking
they are not ducks at all, but are of the
species known to ornithologists as
Xema ridibundus, and to the fishermen
OF Labrador and the gulf as laughing
gulls, says Lachine report. ~
They are now being shot in consider
able numbers about the Lachine rapids
and wherever the water is swift enough
to create foam. The crowheads appear
to spend most of their time upon the
wing and alight only where dead fish
and other debris of the water are gath
cred. When feeding they are careful
to post sentinels, and are hard to ap-
proach.
TO the knowing ones, however, they
AFFORD good sport, and large bags, dur
ing their flight. They invariably trav-
ell in single line, in extended order,

his company of from Is to IS.
so perfectly do they maintain theil
alignment that at times a good, quick
marksman, aiming at one nearest to
him, will find that he has covered the
whole rank, and will bring down sew
eral of them at once. One experienced
ritleman killed five with one ball last
year. :.
The men who know most about it,
namely, those who supply the markets,
try no fancy shooting of that kind.
Their aim is directed at the solitary
leader
Directly he falls, the two TANKS of
the advancing line close in, circling to-
ward their fallen captain, and the flock
settle down in close bunch about him.
There they will remain, floating down
stream with his body, while the gun
ners pour their shot into them. A
young fellow who went out to try the
sport with ten-bore and cartridges
loaded with No. shot, came in within
five minutes of sighting his first flock
with 18 specimens, all he cared for,
killed by four shots.
The crOwheads are exceedingly hand
same birds, jet black, with snowy
breasts, and are about the size of the
ordinary gray duck. In their flight
they resemble the duck rather than the
gull family.
When properly prepared they are by
no means unsavory, and are said to
be bought up in quantities by the ho-
tells, where they are doubtless served
out to guests as black ducks
Just why these salt water birds
should travel so far inland at this sea-
son of the year is not easily explained.
One theory has it that the course of
their migration is from east to west,
and that by way of the St. Lawrence
and the Great Lakes, they are on their
Journey from the Atlantic to the Pacific
coast.
The long trip is by no means i'm
possible to birds of their strong flight,
though so far as is known their return
by the same route in the spring has
escaped observation.
