Grin Quickly knocked Out.

Some weeks ago during the severe
winter weather both my wife and myself
contracted severe colds which speedily
developed into the worst kind of la
grippe with all its miserable symptoms"
says Mr.. J. ). Egleston of Maple Land
ing, Iowa. "Knees and Joints aching,
muscles sore, head stopped up, eyes and
nose running, with alternate spells OF
chils and fever. We began using
Chamberlain Cough Remedy, aiding
the same with dose of Chamberlain's
Stomach aud Liver Tablets, aud by its
liberal use soon completely Knocked oul
the grip"
It's good plan to take dose Of the
Tablets when you have cold. They
promote a healthy action of the bowels,
liver and Kidneys which is always bene-
fetal when the system Is coDgesled by a
cold or attack of the grip. For sale by

Fortunes in Waiting.

From the London Chronicle.
In spite of the enormous inroads made on
this earth's great store of wealth, da-
monds gold, oil, gas, coal, iron and other
materials, recent Investigations have
brought to light the interesting fact that
treasure fields containing fabulous wealth
still remain intact.
that huge areas of the floor of the Pacific
are strewn thick with immense deposits of
nodules of pure manganese. Invent a prac-
ticable and economical method of recover
ing it, and the individual who does SO will
at once become rich beyond the dreams OF
avarice.
The most crying need of today is SUBJ
stitute for Para rubber. 1t Is certain to be
discovered sooner or later. y
Malleable glass was manufactured and
used by the Romans nearly two thousand
years ago But the secret has been lost 1t
seems odd that no one in this age OF me-
chanical progress has beent able to redts-
cover the method of manufacturing a
tough and unbreakabae glass Whoever
succeeds in doing SO and making the dis
covery economically useful Will reap great
reward.
Real photography in ecolors is still an

Nature of AmbideXterity.

From the Medical Record.
N Bishop Hartman reviews a number OF
neurological facts in relation to visceral
asymmetry in human beings. He then ad-
vances an hypothesis 10 the presence OF
a general right handedness in man. He sug-
gests an incident in the life of primitive
man in which two of these beings have
hand-to-fand conflict. One learns the Sc
cret of division of labor in the fore,imbs
and uses his left arm for shield ard his
right for fighting. He is the victor in the
fight, and his offspring, after he has cap
tured the wife of the victim, would revert
to the material custom of using the left
hand. The writer then cites various exam
pies to prove the real ambdexterity of or
dinarily trained men.
Most men brush the hair with a pair OF
brushes, using each hand equally and
coincidently in the task. Women plat the
hair, using both hands; they also hold the
hand-glass first with one hand, then with
the other, while adjusting plaits, coils and
pins with the free hand. The process
shows extraordinary bimanual deXterity,
with hand and eye cerebration. Violin
playing illustrates In a most remarkable
way the division of labor between the fore
limbs The use of the typewriter and the
inscription of the Braille type by the blind
all show a wonderful bimanual division of
labor.

How People Catch Cold.
Toilet Greville. In the London Mail.

Lady Violet Greville, in the London Mail.
Everybody is complaining of colds just
now l think the cause is that people keep
their houses too hot and dress indifferently
to the temperature.
Men seldom vary their dress, but women
are constantly changing from the thnnest
of lace blouses which expose the neck and
chest. to fur wraps and heavy boas round
the throat. Then they sit in warm rooms
with big fires. and go out perhaps, in the
same clothes they wear indoors.
Sleeping with the window open and bath
ing the chest every morning with cold
water are admirable pfeventives of cold.
and putting on a wrap when leaving a
warm room is also good.
cool atmosphere never gives cold; 1t is
the perpetual changes OF temperature that
do SO.
Ladies colds arise often from the practice
of tea drinking and paying calls during the
afternoon and also from sitting in clubs
in their outdoor garments.
Latterly the chorus of incessant coughs
in ladies' clubs has been most distressing
and such colds must be very infectious.

Browns, tans, modes biscuits, mastics,
In fact every shade in this color, ranging
from the lightest to the darkest, will be
used, while a few checks and small plalds
trimmed with solid colors will serve to give
some variety to spring garments.
In the gown suggested by today's illus
tration the bolero, or Elton coat, takes the
place of the long one. For the women who
prefer Etons the coat coming to the belt
is quite as smart as any other. 1t hap
pens, however that the majority Of the
fair sex prefer a very long style of coat.
There is an exceedingly smart cut to
the accompanying suggestion. The fronts
are excellent copies of a true bolero where
they are cut out at the neck and round
back from the bust to the sides of the
waist. A long, pointed collar, like that
seen on a mans Tuxedo, rolls back from
the neck of the coat to disclose a dainty
blouse worn underneath. The points of
the collar meet at the bust and here the

lion, Just a few inches away from the box

a horizontal line to the back, where two
more shaped pieces give a suitable finish to
the skirt.
A taffeta lining is not deemed essential
with this skirt, and the petticoat is a

whole costume is one of great charm and
cannot at present be purchased in this

are on the order of Louis QuinZe and Louis

they are graduated in size, the upper being

one of handsome lace.
