BLACK THE COMING COLOR.
Promises to Be Fashlon's Choice fof
 the Autumn.

A Paris dispatch says: Black is playing such part in all clothes for the season that it will go more heav- fly into autumn fashions. That is cer- tain. We see It in finish of hat, gown-whether tailor or dinner toilet flor wraps and for the soft, fluffy little frills of tulle that are made for the shoulders.
 Black is always elegant, always ready for any occasion, and in the end is economy, since one black gown will take the place of two col. ored ones. At present, in Paris, black is gaining, and by midsummer we shall see frocks for the seaside or mountain of mousseline or cloth or any material madame or her daugh- ter choose to order. And late sum- mer modes have great influence on those for winter, so black will share honors with any color

Remedy for convuIslons.

Convulsions may be due to indiges- ton. irritation of the nerve centers in teething. or pinworms. A great many diseases are ushered in by con- vulsions. The first thing to do is to put the child into tub of hot water about 1 degrees Fahrenheit, without waiting to undress 1t until you have it in the water. Keep the head raised, with an icecap applied to 1t. or. if you have no cap. use cold congresses or ice in towel. Keep the baby in the bath five minutes. At the end of that time wrap 1t in woolen blanket and summon a physician. The hot water Is used to dilate the blood vessels. and in doing this the blood is brought from the brain to the body.
