The display Of summer toilettes that
has neld the center of the fashionable
stage ever since Lent first began-they
were really appropriate for the Southern
Fittings that set n with the Mardi Gras
festivals show no signs of waning with
the approach OF the warm weather.
Rather. indeed. does the Interest heighten.
for now IL the season when the frocks
themselves may be brought out and worn,
and TINT without anybody to hint that
one is trying to rush the season" in the
least by so doing.
The lingerie gowns are among the most
charming effects Of the late showings
And TO what pi nacie Of extra vagance
have they reached. The most exquisite
of hand embr1ideries are supplemented
by the nse and lavish use at that. of
real laces. and It is no uncommon thing
TO see frock with embroideries and sew
eraI kinds and characters of lace weayes
cevery combined.
One charming model that proclaims
Paris in its every line and fold shows a
blouse OF hatste brodee that has a
V-shaped chemisette of bebe Irish Gro
chet, the lines Of this defined with a
platte valenciennes. and the Joining Of
blouse and chemisette concealed with an
worked to match the blouse.
The sleeve combined all three varying
materials most cIevPrly. The upper part
is of broidered hatiste, then there is a pun
of the Valenciennes, ended In a fril OF
the same; and this drops over a cuff OF
the behe Irish crochet. The skirt shows
the all-over embroidery for the upper
mart. this deity fitted with tuckings over
the hips: and at knee depth two lounces
complete the length TO the hem, the
founces embroidered TO match the all
over. Here are three widely varying ma
terials so cleverly combined that there is
not hint of scrappiness TO the result,
no suggestion Of the remnant counter
or the family piece bag and certainly
neither the one nor the other Is suggested
in the price asked for this smar Jiece
of costly simplicity. for which. unlined.
the modest sum of $3.50 is demanded and
eager purchasers are found at that figure.
II is this same simplicity In effect, but
multiplicity of detail that is the secret of
the modishness of all the summer frocks.
They may. and probably 10 the unini-
tiated do look though they might he
duplicated for a mere song; but when the
trial is made the result is usually lacking

CATARRHAL TROUBLES PREVALENT
Spring Months Cause Catarrh.
Breathe tiyomei, and Be Cured.

Catarrhal troubles are more common at
this season than at any other time of the
year. The sudden changes that come dur
ing the spring months are productive OF
many cases OF catarrh that without proper
treatment will become chronic.
The pleasantest, most convenient and
only scientific method for the treatment
and cure OF catarrh is Hyomei. Simply
put twenty drops in the little pocket in
haler that comes with every outfit, and
then breathe it for three minutes four
times day.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
one dollar, and as the inhaler will last a
lifetime ana there is sufficient Hyomei for
several weeks treatment, it is the most
economical catarrhal remedy known.
Extra bottles can be procured for fifty
cents. Ask F. f. Bryan to show you the
strong guarantee under which he sells

II travels sometimes as fast as an ex.
press train at high speed-say, at the
rate of 90, or possibly 40, miles an
hour.
Other things being equal, the larger
the 6sh, the faster II swims-just as
the huge steamship is able to travel at
a speed much greater than the little
harbor tug. Undoubtedly, the energy
employed by fish of great size, such
as a 30-foot shark, when travelling at
its best gait, is something tremendous.
An ordinary tug, which represents
maximum of energy in a minimum of
bulk, utilizes' about 2OO-hOrse power
OF course, il is only a guess, but It
would not seem to be over the mark
TO suppose that a 70-foot whale makes

but it can beat the fastest "ocear

If there is fish that can travel fast
er than a shark, it must be the tarpoon,
which can probably chit her up" to
the tune of 80 miles an hour, if pressed
for time. Generally speaking, it may
be said that fnny creatures which live
near the surface of the sea are swift
swimmers, as compared with those that
dwell in the depths. Thus the cod,
which is deep water species, is slug
gish, and would stand no show at all
in race with the mackerel or her
ring. These latter, which are distinct.
lively pelagic, depend for their living
upon their activity in pursuing agile
prey, and they must be quick in their
in order to escape the at.
tacks of their own enemies.
If the mackerel were as big as a
goodrsized shark, it would probably be
the speed champion of the ocean. No
fish is better shaped for rapid going

PRESIDENTS
POPULARITY

No doubt the President makes TO,
many speeches, but they are very goo,
speeches considering how many Of
them he makes. We don't wonder tha
he makes a lot of them, because they
give such immense satisfaction to the
people he makes them TO, and besides
he delights TO do It, His speech to
the teachers at Ocean Grove on July
! y for example, was received with
grateful enthusiasm by an immense
audience. There were $4,000 people
down there that day, the papers said,
and great many Of them heard him.
Moreover, the teachers are very i'm.
portant people, and well worth talking
to. And they got even with him that
day. He pleased them, and when Mrs.
Lille Devereux Blake's daughter, in
seeonding a vote Of thanks, called him
% the most popular, the best-loyed man
in the whole round earth," undoubt.
edly she pleased the President, in spite
of his blushes, expostulations and re.
monstrances. Moreover IL is doubtful
whether Miss Blake much overstated
the fact, for the President is an ep
traordinarily popular human being. 1t
is his advantage that society is mir
ror which reflects the face IL sees, for
the President almost always has a good
time, and always looks 80. His sal.
vation as speaker is tho scope of his
dcliverances. He can talk pretty well
about anything from earthworms TO
kings. 1t is not likely that he will
ever mako a great speech, but by |
many speeches individually remarkable
he has made great impression. More
over he does not weaken II by his
much speaking, but rather strengthens
u. That is, perhaps, because 1t is a
personal impression rather than an in.
Iellectual one. What he imparts is his
spirit, his individuality. Harper't
