CHRISTMAS GIFTS
TO BE OF SlLYE

London, Nov. 25.-Ihe fashionable
Christmas gifts this year will be of
silver, and the West End jewellers are
showing exquisite specimens of designs
and workmanship. One of the members
of well-known Regent declares that
the favorite novelties are now being
turned out fast enough to supply the
demand. This is especially true, he
says, in the case of oval mirrors framed
in silver decorated with designs of the
Adam period. There has not been such
demand for silver in many years. 1t
is due, he says, to the example set in
high quarters and to the increased in
genuity of the workers.

FRENCH PIQUED
At THE GERMANS
Bad Impression Is Created by
Kaiser's Appointment to the
Morocco Conference.
Special Gable to The journal.

special Ca bic to The journal.
Paris, Nov. 25.-A bad impression
has been made on the French public by
Germaney's appointment of Count Won
Tattenbach as its representative in the
international conference on Moroccan
questions, which is to be held at AL
gesioras in Spain. The fact that he is
supposed to be only the assistant to
Ambassador Radowitz does not deceive
anyone, since it is known that because
Of his feeble health and the pressure
Of his ambassadorial duties at Madrid,
Radowits will not figure often at the
conference.
Ever since Germany withdrew Count
Won Tattenbach from Tangier, the
French say he has been engaged in an
anti-French propaganda thruout Nor
occo, breaking not only the formal
agreement between France and Ger
many regarding conduct in Morocco :
preliminary to the conference, but Of
Tending, it is alleged, against the laws
OF ordinary personal honor and conse
quent conduct.
"The appointment justifes all ou1
suspicions,' writes the political editor
of the Echo de Paris. In other politica
quarters this morning, Germany's ac
tion is described as "of a piece will
the cynicism of the kaiser's behavior
since the beginning. He still wishes tt
show that he can insult France with en-
, tire impunity.'

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is in
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is remedy that the more
YOU take of it the better; it is not
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present IN
the stomach and intestines and carries
them out Of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating on
ions and other odorous Vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
It absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
| is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they
are composed Of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal and other harmless an
| tiseptics in tablet form, or rather IN
the form of large, pleasant tasting loz-
enges, the charcoal being mixed with
| honey.
The daily use Of these lozenges Will
soon tell in uch-amproved CONDITION
Of the general health, better complex
ion, sweeter breath and purer blood
and the beauty of it is, that no posi-
Bile harm can result from their con
tinued use, but, on the contrary, great
] benefit.
A Buffalo physician, in speaking Of
i the benefits Of charcoal, says ad
1 wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to a!

Alfred Austin Rhapsodizes Over
the Comforts Nature Offers

New York Herald Special Service.

London, Nov. 25.-" Natures pana-
cea for modern fatigue' was the Sub
ject of an address delivered by Alfred
Austin, the poet laureate. before a
meeting Of the national trust for places
of historic interest and public beauty,
in support Of the proposed purchase Of
Cow Barrow Fell, Cumberland, for the
nation. Mr.. Austin described a visit
he had paid to the Fell, which enabled
him to understand what the purchase
would mean to people in all ages. He
said:
"Nature has been source of rest
and refreshment to men and women,
jaded, depressed, nerve-wrecked, by ex-
hausting toll in cities, but never before
was there so much need as. now for the
healing change and restoring solace she
provides in the nursing homes of her
green del1s and the silent majesty of her
mountains and the melody Of her brooks
and waterfalls.
''Such is the comfort natrre offers
for the fatigue and worry Of this fever.

have sought it return to the crowded
urban existence, many time they will

cable DLsPA TCHES FROM CAPITALS OF THE WORLD
SHOW DISOWNED
BY IRISH BISHOP
o'Dwyer Says the Questionable
Plays All Come from
England.

Limerick, Nov. 25.-In all of the
Roman Catholic churches of the city
a pastoral has just been read from
Bishop O'Dwyer with regard to plays
about to be produced at one of the local
theaters. The bishop says that he un-
derstands that one Of the plays is an
adaptation Of Daudet's "Sapho.' He
feels, he says, that it is his duty to
warn the Catholic people of the city
against the danger that such perform
ances involve. Against sound and
healthy plays he has not word of
disapproval. They were a delightful
form of recreation, refining the mind
and conveying often deep and true
moral lessons. This very fact, how
ever, was reason why they should all
have an interest in preserving SO pow
erful On instrument Of good from be-
ing perverted into an agency of moral
corruption, and that, beyond all doubt,
theatrical representations were fast be-
coming. Plays had been recently per-
formed in Ireland that catered only
! to corrupt and purient inclinations, but
this kind Of performance could be put
down by people simply staying away
from the theater Where such plays were
being performed Most of all such
plays-abominable stuff the bishop
called them-came from England and
dealt with phases of life to which the
Irish people were strangers.

Paris, Nov. 25.-N. D. Neill, the pres
ident of the Lorimer Automatic Tele-
phone company, is prepared to make an
extraordinary offer to the French post
office in order to solve the difficulty Of
providing occupation for the telephone
girls should the French government de-
eide to transform it's telephone service
and introduce automatic telephones.
Mr.. Neill, who is Canadian, is en-
gagged in fitting up model automatic
exchange in the Passage Viviennc.
''Sooner or later" said Mr.. Neill,
the automatic system will be adopted
in all the large cities, and the tele-
phone girl will be abolished. To com
pensate these young women for the loss
of their occupation have thought out
a plan Should the French government
decide to adopt the system will open
an office in Paris and equip and send
out to Canada at least 1000 young
women who are now engaged in the
telephone service.
"There are thousands of men in the
northwest who have put by sufficient
money to put up house and who are
anxious to find wives. Well, we are
prepared to pay all Of the expenses Of
every young woman who would like tt
go out to Canada. We will agree tt
pay her board and lodging and supply
her with pocket money for six months
and do everything in the world to fno
for her suitable husband.'

London, Nov. 25.-F'The directors Of
the White Heather laundry at home at
the Grafton Galleries on "Wednesday,
the 22nd Of November, 1905. Exhibition
Of fine Gngeries of every description. y
This is an invitation which, on a
dainty, gilt-edged card, was sent out
to people best known in society, and
to the Grafton Galleries men and
women focked to see what proved an
interesting spectacle, and the result Of
a novel experiment.
Some years ago three sufferers from
the depredations of the British laun-
drywomen, trio of young varsity men
determined to try whether. the best
education of the world offers would en-
able them to cope with soapsuds and
emerge victorious in the washing OF
society's linen, and Wednesday show
proved how successfully the three
young men, who in snowy uniform re-
ceived their guests, needless of the
chaff of their friends, had started their
laundry.
Piles of snow-white lingerie of the
daintiest texture and the most immacu
late purity were arranged upon long
trestles. On one table mems shirts Of
dazzling brilliancy, collars superbly
starched, handkerchiefs white as tht
driven snow, evening waistcoats Of
! absolute smartness, were collected
while close at hand the froth Of lace
and loveliness proclaimed the fact thai
the feminine treasures of the washtul
were there revealed.
One young countess, newly we'd, hat
permitted her beautiful trousseau tt
be displayed and upon many daint,
garment fine as a cobweb, were coro
nets and ciphers, the figures dul,
ironed by the most approved fashio,
so that the embroidery was presented
as if embossed.
In view Of the fact that Of late sew
eral smart Englishwomen have bee,
sending their lingerie and laces to Pari
to be dealt with, the complete success
displayed at this demonstration PROVED
of patriotic interest to women. =.

frost. 1t is quite rare thing to see
people going about in London in No
vember at once heavily clad as they
have been and grumbling at the exces-

The frost was SO keen at the begin
ming of the week that the lakes in the
London parks were frozen over with a
thin coating of ice, while in Scotland
curling competition and skating are in
full blast Then came the rain and
fogs Of which the latter part of the
week has not been free. Wednesday
night the theaters and places of amuse-
ment We're full of it, causing the actors
and singers to cough and sneeze.
