quaint frayed-out ruches of silk, is ex- tremely popular. l admit that a grey silk piped with black velvet does not sound very young or smart But SD much depends on the eostumiere who makes the frock of this description, and such a gown well carried out. and ac- companied by a beautiful 1880 hat with sweeping black plumes or shaded gray and black feathers, and lovely gray fox stole and huff makes the tout en- semble extremely uncommon and ef- fectiYe.
 There is no doubt that taffeta like crepe de chine is a charming and useful fabric for afternoon toilettes. and for five o'elocks. when rooms are heated and one requires something fairly light to wear under ones fur paletots. A lovely frock of silyer-gray crepe de chine was trimmed with entredouX of grey lace the bodice and skirt were ar ranged iR q series Of biz box plaits, tEe lace coming through from the bodice tu the skirt. so that they appeared to be all cut in one. the skirt was very full and soft-looking round the feet.

 There is great outcry among Paris ians that the stiff collar will rum the shape of the throat, yet one would bt sorry to see them disappear, for they look so smart for morning wear in thd street, accompanied by the trotteuse skirt and little sac coat, with one of the new delightful suede or kid bands whict figure among the novelties in dress ac. cessories with hand satchels en suite.
 The dainty little shirts worn in tho morning are still of embroidered batist. and tucked or plaited white linen. and these are finished either with one of tn new cravats or a psain linen collar and bow.

FROM ENGLAND AND IRELAND
Emigration on Increase and Furthe Encouraged by Cheap Rates
 to America.

The British press has called special attention during the last month to the continued. and what they term alarm. ing. flight of the Irish and Cornish to America. Over 22,000 have gone from Ireland alone during the present year and the exodus, whcih has received al impetus from the cheap fares, goes OF without interruption.
 There is, it is asserted, no greater menace to Ireland's future than thi. appalling drain by emigration. It k drawing out of the country the best of it's peasant class for America ane leaving the undesirables behind.
 Never before have the Irish people manifested such determination to leave their country At present they are leaving at the rate of 2000 Del week. and no argument advanced to keep them in their island has the slightest effect.
 The same conditions, though In g modified form, apply to Cornwall. The mining industry at home is dead IT tho British colonies conditions are not at all favorable, hence the weekly ex. odus to America. Those already ir the United States send home money as rapidly as possible to assist their relatives and companions in Cornwall to follow. To this end, and for the support of parents and families in the 6uchy, large amounts of American money reach England weekly
 The slack condition of trade In the middle and north of England is also cause for the present food of emi. grants.

PETROLEUM lN ARABIA.
An the Houses of Europeans and ir the Shops Only the Ameri-
 can Is Used.

There Is not an article of commerce States to Alden that does not show an in- creased sale during the last ten years. except petroleum, which shows a de- crease of nearly half million gallons per year, yet the annual consumption is as great if not greater, than it was ten years ago. The records of the DOT; show that during the year ended March 3l, 1895. there were imported into Alden 419S96 gallons of American oil, valued at s66 0l3; and of Russian oil. SS ,320 gal Ions, valued at Sll l.09l. The records for the year ended March 31 1904. show that there were imported only 5S.056 gallons of American oil. valued at SIP .209: but that .Sl7 gallons of Russian oil. val ped at s1o7316, were imported This wonderful decrease in the sale of Ameri- ican and the corresponding increase in the sale of Russian petroleum were brought about, not so much because Of a difference in quality of the two otls, for the American product is far superior, as that the Russian oil is only about one half the price of the American product. and to a native 1t answers the same pur- pose.
 The native oil lamps are of tin. made to hold about pint of oil, and a round wick with no chimney Is used. No mat ter what kind of oil is used in such q lamp the effect is very poor, as the light obtained is small. yellowish and smoky, and to get such light as this, which an swers every purpose. the cheap Russian does as well as the higher priced Ameri- can oil. In the houses of the Europeans and in the shops in Alden only the Amer ican oil is used but in the houses of the natives. not only in the city, but pretty generally through the interior, the Rus sian oil is burned. and with such eondi- tions do not well see how a change cal be effected.
 Petroleum, whether Russian or Amer ican, comes in gallon tins, two cans being packed in wooden case This makes most convenient package for rehandling and distribution, wheth CT by caravan or shipment in nativt boats, and the use of kerosene has nov 1 become so general throughout the in l terior that candles are seldom used
 The banner year for the shipment o petroleum tC this port was that ende March 31, 1897. when 53G,724 gallons c American oil, valued at SS2,029, an 1 379S gallons of Russian, valued a 62,235, were imported

Where Life Is the Most HeaIthfuI
 md Long,

In Grand Isle county, Vermont, there vss in 1901 population of 4,462, and the deaths from tuberculosis numbered three. In 1902 the deaths from this cause were six and in 1903 only two. We wonder if there is so low a death rate from tuberculosis anywhere else in the civilized world, and under any, thing like similar conditions. In this county there are no villages except small ones, and not over 100 people in any village. The houses are all sey- eral rods from each other. The popu- lation is almost entirely farmers and fruit growers. The county is literally an island, and strong winds continual ly blow over the water surrounding it. That such exceptional conditions have an influence upon the mortality is plain from that of Franklin county, lying next to Grand Isle, and not so sparsely settled. but otherwise sim- ilarly circumstanced, in which the death rate from tuberculosis was in 1901 0179, as against 0067 in Grand Isle. It might be pity to raise the death rate of the citizens, but what a place for ( tuberculosis sanitarium, Perhaps the whole state of Vermont would not get the prize in a state con- test for health prize. There has been a steady decrease in the deaths from tuberculosis from 1SS6 when they numbered over TOO, in 1903, when they were only 439. In 1901 there were 415 dying of senile debility or general de- cay, and 145 of these were over 90 years of age, and nine were over 100 years old.-American Medium.

 Troubles Were Allowed to Develop
 At This Time.
 Every mother of a growing girl should remember that there will come time when her daughter will be girl no longer but will share with her the bless ings of womanhood. Unless nourish- ment keeps pace with growth the founda- tions of n life of suffering are laid at that time. Mrs. John MacKinney, of No. 47S Thirteenth street, Detroit, Mich. writes timely word. She says:
 "I did not get proper care at the first critical time in my life and for seven- teen years suffered as result. had dizzy spells, felt constant fear that something dreadful was about to happen and was afraid to go out alone. My breathing was very short and 1 had pal pitation of tho heart so badly that could not go up stairs nor walk even moderately fast. was so nervous that could not sit still. At different times for years 1 was under the care of the best physicians i'll Detroit and I tried . number of advertised medicines. Noth- ing helped mo until, on the advice of . neighbor, tried Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. I felt relieved before 1 the first box was finished and I kept on taking them until was cured.
 Last winter my little girl had rheu- matism and Igave her Dr. Williams Pink Pills and she got we'll right away. My niece was thought to be going into con- sumption and, upon my advice, she tried the pills. They cured her cough and she is now well and strong. My entire fam fly are enthusiastic over Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People and we can not say enough in their praise"
 These pills effect such cures be- cause they go to the root of the disease. Other remedies act on the symptoms these marvellous vegetable pills remove the cause of the trouble. They have proved themselves to be an unfailing specific for all diseases arising from inn pure blood and weakened nerves-two fruitful causes of nearly all the ills to which humankind is heir. Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People arc sold in boxes at 50 cents box, or six boxes for $2.50, and may be had of all druggists, or direct from Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,, Schenectady, NY.

An Honest Opinion.

Mineral, Idaho. Nov. 4th tSpeciaD - That a sure cure has been discovered for those sclatie pains that make so many lives miserable, Is the firm opinion of Mr. n. $. Colson, a well-known resident of this place, and he does not hesitate to say that cure is Dodd's Kidney Pills. The reason Mir. Colson IS so firm in his opinion Is that he had those terrible pains and is cured. Speaking of the mat ter he says:
 ''l am only too happy to say Dodd's Kidney Pills have done me lots of good. l had awful pains in my hip so I could hardly walk. Dodd's Kidney Pills stopped 1t entirely. l think they are grand medicine"
 All Sciatic and Rheumatic pains are caused by Uric Acid in the blood Dodd s Kidney Pills make healthy kidneys and healthy kidneys strain all the Uric Acid out of the blood. With the cause re. moved there can be no Rheumatism or Scatica.
