Evolution Of Dress Article Throuql
Centuries Shows Its orioIn.
In many of the portraits Of the six
teenth century one often sees a stril
OF rSh soft fur wound around thu
wrist Of a noble dame. This was uset
to cover the neck or fulfill the func
tion Of muff, and to it was often at
tached small animals head or F.,
skull, cunningly wrought in meta
and adorned with precious stones.
As was the case with SO many arti
cles OF dress, the muff was first th,
exclusive property of the nobility, and
was carried by the commonest womer
OF Venice, as well as by the women o
the highest rank.
The first Venetian muffs were small
made of a single piece of velvet. bro
cade or silk, lined with fur, the open
ing enriched with gold or silver but
tons set with precious stones. B,
1862 the muff seems to have beer
recognized as the necessary adjunct
Of the wardrobe of woman of fash

the parish church once upon a day,

the members of his flock the impor-

early. "A baby's tirst going out should
be to the church" he said, and he was
glad to say that the parishoners did
not neglect their duty. One thing,
though, they left undone, which they
ought to do, and he proceeded to call
attention to it, Next Sabbath morn

in Maryland, standing on one side OF

AS the chase proceeded he noticed

After some time, as the dogs were
heard approaching, this fox ran down
at right angles to the direction they
were coming and met the running fox
and took his place ahead Of the
hounds, while the tired animal sprang

Woman's Charms Listed IN Book

The Cingalese, DR.. Harvey says
have decided views on woman's
charms; they have written book on
this subject. They refuse to call a
woman beautiful unless she has the
following characteristics Her hair
must be voluminous like the tail of a
peacock, long. reaching to the knees
and terminating in beautiful curls.
Her nose must be like the bill Of the
hawk and her lips bright and red like
coral; her neck must be large and
her waist narrower and
taperiag."

Whatever you do and whatever Won say
Somebody's going to kick.

They will vow it's some kind Of a trick
You may struggle and toll to evolve a

For meeting the needs or the pleasures
of man.
But when. with some pride. your en-.

Somebody's going to kick.
If refuge you take in the far-distant
stars,
Somebody's going to kick
If you hint that perhaps there are peo-
ple in Mars,
There's ridicule following quick.
The man who Is mentioned when his

Is the man who went straight and sin
cerely ahead
For you may as well know that till after

Foul breath IS caused by foul stomach
attended with torpid liver, bitter on bad
taste, furred tongue, loss Of, or irregular
appetite, heavy or full bloated feeling In
stomach, water brash, F." or sour eructa-
tlons OF gas, sick or bilious headaches,
disposition TO despondency, or the
blues" irritable temper or peevishness
and kindred symptoms. Not all of these
symptoms are present In every case.
To tone up and invig0rate both stom-
ach and liver and start the digestive pro-
cesses into healthy action, there Is, to say
the least, no superior agent to DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t is prepared
without the use Of particle of alcohol,
from the active medicinal principles ex-
tracted from the roots OF native American
plants, and Is an honestly made, safe med
icine that any one may take without fear
OF forming an appetite for stimuIants.
Its benefits and cures are lasting and not
simply the temporary exhilaration some
times experienced from strong alcoholic
preparations.
No man Is stronger than his stomach,
therefore, when tho stomach Is weak it
should be promptly toned up and put in
order to the end that 1t may properly di-
gest and prepare for proper assimilation
the food which otherwise can not
strengthen the body. You cannot find
medicine that will do this more promptly

He will not separate us-we have
been so happy!" These were the last
words of Charlotte Bronte when, hav.
ing become Mrs. Nichols, and having
lived with her husband only nine
months, death came to snatch the cup
of domestic felicity from the lips OF
the happy pair. A low, wandering de-
lirium came on. Weakening for an in
slant from this stupor, she caught her
husbands woe-worn face, and caught
the sound Of some murmured words Of
prayer that God would spare her.
"Oh!" she whispered, II am not going
to die, am He will not separate us
